I think the best thing the 4th gen (I'm talking about MH4U) did was introduce an actual story. Every thing you did in the low rank village quests felt like it had an purpose to solving the mystery of the frenzy virus. The characters were amazing and it felt like you were an a journey together with some pals. The soundtrack was breathtaking(Shagaru's theme...HNNG) and the new monsters were nothing we're ever seen before.

Capcom did the best they could to improve some of the old 2nd gen monsters but yeesh... can't fix whats already broken. While we had the pleasure of fighting beatst like Gore, we had to deal with the crack raptors jank.

MHGen was a really fun game, but I was dissapointed in the fact there was little to no story and some hunter arts were too op, which made Capcom have to get into Frontier levels of insanity in MHGU.

I'm a Monster Hunter fanboy so I like every Monster Hunter game that came out, but I'd say MH4U is my favorite.
