1) I enjoyed the fact that Monster Hunter 4 had an excellent story to it, since I usually do appreciate the story within a game if its written well enough.

2) Gameplay wise, it was the aerial combat introduced in MH4/MH4U, and the Insect Glaive. I enjoyed the mounting mechanics.

3) Not really, considering I only got into MH during the MH3 days, I really got in rather late.

4) They could have added more Snake Wyverns, Amphibians and Temnocerans to be honest. Those new classes needed more representation.

5) Mostly the Frenzy Virus Mechanic and Apex Monsters in MH4U. They helped with the story, and added a bit of a challenge. The Deviants are cool, but the Apex and Frenzied Monsters were the best.

6) "Wild Ride" would be an understatement. It was an "AMAZINGLY WILD AND THRILLING RIDE!"

7) In terms of Monsters, I have to go with Zinogre, Mizutsune, Glavenus, Astalos, Gammoth, Valstrax, Gore Magala and Nerscylla. Oh and lets not forget Dalamadur, that thing is absolutely huge! In terms of Areas, I will go with the Sunken Hallow and Volcanic Hallow, cause the change it goes through when transistioning from Sunken Hallow to Volcanic Hallow is astonishing.

8) I am thankful for the whole thing being an excellent blast of a game series, and getting to me at all. I REGRET NOTHING!

9) World does improve on many things within MH, and turns some of the formulas on its head, which is great. I just miss the variety that 4th gen had that World seems to lack right now for the time being. But I am sure they will add more monsters.

10) Normally I don't pick favorites, but I will say that MH4U was probably the better one in terms of story. But I won't be able to get MHGU until after X-mas when I get a switch, so I will have to save my judgement for later.
