For me, my MH experiences began in 2011. My best friend bought MH3 for the Wii and was always saying to me about how good it was. I didn´t really thought much of it at first, but largely beacause, during that year, the only game I was really interested in was Skyrim.

Eventually, my best friends constant praises of the game and "You GOTTA check it out, bro!" comments picked my curiosity and I went over to his house so he could show it to me. And there I saw it... the Rathalos fooling the Lagiacrus and taking the Aptonoth with it. A GLORIOUS sight, and it made me fall in love with the series instantly.

So I pick up MHFU. This was around the end of 2011. I SUCK at the game at first, and even Giadrome sends me packing. I eventually get better, but then I meet them... Yian Kut-Ku, Congalala, Cephadrome and Monoblos. The terrible quartet. I get stuck on each one of them. You wanna know the best part? I was such a good player that I didn´t even knew you could UPGRADE equipment. That´s why I was battling the Congalala with the bone weapons you get as a beginner.

But I eventually improve, and then I manage to slay my first Plesioth and Green Plesioth with little trouble. I get better and better, and eventually I slay the Tigrex, and then Akantor. While fun and challenging, I eventually got bored of always hunting alone. I have two cousins who own the game as well (back when we were at a family gathering, I remember how me, him and her teamed up against a Fatalis, and it was one of the most fun experiences I had ever had) but unfortunately they live far away from me and we don´t meet often or sometimes AT ALL outside of family gatherings. So I was stuck hunting alone for a big part of my MHFU carreer. I also picked MHF to see how was the first generation, but I didn´t really played it that much. I overall didn´t enjoy it as much as I did the other games.

Then I decide to pick up MH3 and join my best friend on his fun! Unfortunately, when I did this, we were just a few months short of seeing the MH3 servers being shut down. But then I see MH3U being announced, and I literally jump out of my chair and yell: "GODDAMNIT, YES! YES!".

So I begin a new carreer on 3U. And then I get MH4U. Me and my best friend have played them together, and I have some fond memories of me speding our last Easter playing all night long.

Which reminds me... online play is a BIG plus for me. No matter how much I love MH, always soloing missions made me feel bored. So online play is always a big "YES" for me.

Overall, MH means a great deal to me. It is a great game and one of the few works of fiction I truly call myself a fan of.
