^ "If it was the first MH, how it has already fans?"

What are you implying? That games not (yet) part of a series can't be enjoyed? One of my grade school friends played the original Monster Hunter, and he was a big enough of a fan to introduce it to me. For a non-MH example, the first Yo-kai Watch game was recently released in the West, and it already has a lot of fans, myself included. And when the first Fossil Fighters game was released years ago, it also had a pretty big fanbase even before the sequel came out.

My point is, just because a game isn't part of a huge expanded universe doesn't mean it isn't good.
