1) 2017 has been such a great year for gaming, though on a more personal level... Let's not get into that...

2) I will be more confident and open up to others... At least I hope so...

3) I... I just hope this will be a better year than 2017.

4) 3rd Gen with 3U

5) A friend of mine kept talking about it at school. I would always find myself dumbfounded whenever he mentionned random names like "Rathalos", "Tigrex" etc... So I decided to take a look at some gameplay footages of the most recent game (which was 3 Ultimate back then),and it's caught my interest. I then downloaded the demo to test it out, and I happened to have enjoyed it. A few weeks later, I ended up buying the game and started my hunting career. I was having a lot of trouble against the likes of Great Jaggi and Qurupeco. I actually ragequit the game for 2 weeks because of the latter lol. When I got back to it, I took my time to practice the Long Sword, and I eventually managed to defeat Qurupeco, leaving me really satisfied.

6) 4th Gen is clearly the best gen so far. It's got the largest bestiary, and the most dynamic gameplay. This gen also allowed me to face old revamped monsters I couldn't face in 3U, and has introduced my favourite weapon in the series : the Charge Blade.

7) I'm wasn't a huge fan of Guild Quests and the Deviant Quest System,which is one of the biggest reasons I found Generation disappointing (not bad, just disappointing). There's also the whole infected gimmick, while I enjoyed facing Frenzied monsters, Apex and Hypers were just frustrating and uninteresting to fight, they were just cheap ways to make the game longer and more difficult.

8) I couldn't believe my eyes, I was completely mindblown. Even though the E3 trailer left many people sceptical, I was still really excited.

9) Damn right it is ! It may seem different from the previous games, but this is still Monster Hunter, just filled with many quality of life improvement the series needed for years but couldn't get due to hardware limitations.Not to mention that all the weapons feel awesome to use thanks to their changes and improvements, and the new monsters look awesome. Provided Capcom doesn't mess up, this can potentially be the best Monster Hunter game in the series in my opinion !

10) Since I don't think there will any cold area in the main game, seeing one added later would be pretty cool. But I would love to see some kind of ancient or tower area in which powerful monsters reside. As for the monsters, more Temnoceran and Snake Wyvern sounds good, especially since I don't think there will a huge variety of different species upon release (kind of like Tri). Brachy, Barioth and Nerscylla are some of the monsters I would love to see return the most.

11) I think I'm gonna get a lot of hate after saying this, but I'll say it regardless : I do not give a damn about whether or not XX gets localized, at least not anymore. If it does, then good for everyone wanting the game in the West, otherwise, I won't care, because in the end, it's just a full priced DLC of a disappointing game I already own (again I don't hate Generation, in fact I really like it, it there are so many things that disappointed me). Yes I would love to fight Massacre Demon and Atoraru Ka (I've already faced Valphalk thanks to the Switch Demo), but I don't wanna buy the same game, but with slightly more content, I got better fish to fry.

12) Maybe, maybe not, but in any case, I don't care.

13 ; 14) I don't know, I don't care.

15) None, I don't want to see any other main series monster turn into some stupid walking nuclear bomb and make my eyes bleed.

16) I don't know but please don't touch Brachy, they've done more than enough to it...

17) Only if we talk about actual good frontier monsters, such as the Orugaron Duo,Taikun Zamuza or Baruragaru (and don't misunderstand, I don't hate Frontier, I just don't like the direction they've taken when it comes to designing monsters)..

18) Lore-wise, maybe...

19) Pretty much everything involving World, especially playing the Beta.

20) Umm... Playing Stories, because of that pretentious, ugly looking ass cat who never shuts up.
