User blog comment:Kogath/Poll: The Monster Hunter series is 10 years old today. How long have you been playing the series?/@comment-5569775-20150204174748

I started playing when MH1 came out in the US. I played online under the name Caim, not that anyone probably remembers. I was mainly a Greatsword user back then, but used the hammer some too. And I was one of the first few people to successfully fight Fatalis in melee range.

Then 3 years later my friend gave me his PSP as a present along with some games and MHF was among them. I played that until MHF2 came out. Not too many memories with MHF and a few on MHF2. For starters, I found myself at odds with the greatsword against many of the monsters, so I stopped using it and picked up the faster Longsword, started maining the Hammer and began using Bows and Bowguns. I had some serious issues with Tigrex, Yian Garuga, Black Gravios Teostra & Lunastra and found myself using rather cheaps tactics. Mainly using ledges out of reach of most attacks with bowguns or taking advantage of the monster not being smart enough to walk around a gap(Teo & Luna). I stopped using the bowguns and started using Bows instead and became pretty good with them compared to just sitting on a ledges shooting at monsters.

After 2 years I gave the games and PSP to a friend who wanted to play but didn't have the money at the time and his B-day was coming up, so I though I'd make that his present. Then when Tri came out I got that where I began maining the Lance, while using the Hammer and Longsword on the side. There were alot of odd moments of smaller monsters getting the final hit on the larger ones, like and Epioth finishing off Lagi, or a Delex taking out a Diablos. And the even better moments with Deviljho killing monsters I was hunting. Though the best moment was when I was trying to sleepbomb a Rathian in the Deserted Island but right as I was setting the second L.Bomb+ a Bnahabra swooped down and hit the bomb, sending me back to the camp and killing the Rathian.

Now I'm just waiting til MH4U comes out next week.
