basicly sums up every mmo. oh you fight god in the base game and now some evil dude with a fraction of that power is showing up? not sure if we can trust you. here, gather some herbs or sausages or some shit lmao
what makes old MH -preys literal hell is that their lunge attacks reaches really far and has considerable tracking on them (they can even bend a bit horizontally midair)
the barrel bomb being stolen out of your pockets while you were having an actively Bad Time with rathalos was unnecessarily mean of the game -- ESPECIALLY with how annoying the resource gathering looks 😂
have a stack of Felvines in your inventory, you can buy them for cheap from the item vendor I think, Melynxes will prioritize stealing Felvines over your other items instead
I'm glad they started to give us basic gear in later entries because it's extremely funny to play these types of games hunting these terrifying scissor finger raptors completely naked. Like they should absolutely be devouring our corpses they basically send you out as a free meal for them lmfao 💀
1:01i had always heard about how "hard" MH1 was, but i never really stopped to comprehend how truly "difficult" MH1 would be to play until i heard this horrifying sentence just now. i want to meet the people who suffered through Gen 1 and personally shake them by the hand. without them, there wouldn't be a franchise.
There are some really hard quests, like Four Horns and the 3 Powderstone quest, but they are only truly hard if you try to solo them, which is almost impossible. They are meant to be multiplayer quests anyway, just like Safi-Jiiva and Behemoth are in MHW. But for the single hardest quest that was meant to be soloed I'd still pick World Fatalis.
Lol, hello there! I played MH1 all the way up until Capcom closed its online servers. Only because I never owned a PlayStation Vita. I had to wait until Tri released on the Wii growing up. And I'm still playing the series to this day!
Glad to see this just seems to be something every Hunter has collectively agreed to do, going back to the old games after playing Rise/World a lot, especially around Wilds' announcement. It's like the Elder Crossing.
I’m an oldhead that started on the original monster hunter, I used to scoff at the psp releases, but they are loved for a reason. And gave monster hunter fu a go and loved it. I’m glad everyone is starting to universally step out of their comfort zone
@@Adriiell Yeah. The portable series (Including Rise) is the series that experiments and is allowed to just go apeshit with innovation and over the top nonsense. That is a good thing. Sometimes you want a game that's like the mainline but a bit... extra. :D
What an absolute crime such a high quality video has low views, I hope the algorithm notices you one day! Also +1 to "how did this game ever become a series"
I played MH1 2-3 years ago and I actually really liked it. It was frustrating as all hell but also super satisfying and addicting. The game is so punishing that every incremental upgrade to your gear feels like a godmode switch. I put around 60 hours into the village alone. It was painful but I enjoyed it so long as I had RUclips playing in the background.
If you do ever want to play MH1 again you should play the JP version as it is the only version with fan servers (don't worry it has a really good English patch)
@@CanadianAdim oh that’s good. I don’t have a lot of time to sink into these games as I used to but if I ever want to beat fatalis I’ll give it a shot.
@@CanadianAdim You can also play the PSP port Monster Hunter Freedom. it also has fan servers. Its 1:1 port of Monster Hunter G (PS2) ( the final version of Monster Hunter 1, released only in Japan) with few additional features and reduced early game costs. It is still a crazy grind unless doing some mp.
Did exactly that, then freedom, fu, and 3U. The vibe of 1-FU to me is like the hunter/gatherer version of a farming sim, it’s *so* good. It’s gotten more and more action-y and less “sim” since then, which a lot of people love (myself included) but I would absolutely love a game that feels like early mh but refined.
@@maninblack3410that condratics itself, MH series was always focused on fights with monsters, doing anything other than that is simply a waste of time, which is why Rise did everything basicaly the best out of whole series, if you want gathering sim then go play Stardew Valley, MH if it tries to do both it makes gathering simply annoying
You haven't lived till you've attempted organically grinding to G Rank with friends on the unofficial servers that went up for PCSX2 last year. 200 hours nearly of grinding, mostly Plesioth and Gravios since those quests dish out the most hunter rank points in the quickest amount of time. We still got walled by the nasty DPS check that is high rank Lao Shan Lung because no sorry SOB wanted to be our fourth since monster health doesn't scale in the gathering hall quests based on players.
Would you happen to know a guide for connecting to Monster Hunter 1? I managed to connect to the servers for the second game but I couldn't find a guide on how to connect to the 1st one.
My 11 Y/o self was blown away with those gráfics and by the concept of being stuck agaisnt Yian kut ku for 3 months and almost a 5 months to take down my first rathalos with velociprey L. Bowgun
I love so much seeing people trying to play the older iteration of monster hunter, it´s amazing how a game that has minimal quality of life option is still such a beautiful and lovable game franchise after all this years, it comes to prove that the essence of something is more important than the look of it. watching this video is making me want to play MHFU like I played when I was a teenager.
The running out of time during the Rathalos quest is such a nostalgia trip LMAO. Me and my friends played the hell out of this game back in the day. HR20, all quests complete. We used to bring little CRT TVs to each other’s houses and Ethernet cables so we could plug into the router and play online together. That was a different time lmao. Can’t wait for MH Wilds!
This game was my first monster hunter experience it’s the game that actually got me hooked to the series i remember yian kut ku was my first wall i eventually beat him with my hammer lol
Im actually so glad that I got to play MHFU>MHP3rd>MHG>MHGU>World>Rise in order. My reflexes and habit stayed in world/risebreak and that was thanks to FU, and it was also the reason that drove me to learn English because i was a delinquent back then 😅 and wanted to understand what the hell the game is spewing out.
The original actually got me into the series in itself. This game was harder but the more you got into it the better it got. The new series are more advanced and easier on everything compared to the original. The nostalgia of watching u play this game, sent me through the reels and the headaches of learning the game mechanics. This game was fun but not fun
That sounds like early 2000 gaming in a nutshell. I recently started playing morrowind for the first time and enemies can straight up stunlock you or cast a paralyze spell off cooldown that makes you unable to do anything for 10 seconds. You would never see shit like that in modern games but it's still really fun.
Fun fact: There is a desert egg quest in village which you have to bring 3 eggs while facing 4 or 5 Genpreys in area 2. Literally unbeatable. But if you are being chased by a Cephalos. The Genpreys will just ... watching??? And that's the only way to beat this quest. (I spent nearly 40 minutes to deal with those Genpreys. Ended up the quest in about 49min30sec. Damn you egg quest.) PS. Cephalos can only find you when you standing next to them while their periodic stops. Also, most of the quest shows up randomly, if you can't find the quest that I'm saying , don't worry, it might shows up after finishing other quest.
I did this quest last night, basically just hugged the map edges until I got back to camp, and killed the area 7 genprey (they don't respawn). Unfortunately Diablos showed up when I was carrying one of the eggs, but I got lucky and hit the loading screen before he was able to hit me. Still took me around 30 min to finish. IMO it's worse than the powderstone quest
As both an ex-runescape / monster hunter 1 hammer nerd... I'm impressed you actually solo'ed Rathalos with a hammer haha.. had to use the OP lance after the ticket thing they give you after the annoying ass egg quest haha.. good ol' 2000s gaming lol
You should experience Rathalos/Rathian headlocking with the lance. It was so satisfying esp for Rathalos bc it wasted so much of your time with the 360 aerial flight attack. Not to mention you needed Rathalos plates for the Fatalis armor and they're insanely hard to get.
I played MH 1 on PS2 years ago and this brought back a lot of memories. Especially the hitboxes lol. I jumped back into the franchise with World and it blew my mind with all the improvements.
0:15 Dude, I played Armored Core 6 and decided to play the saga from the beginning. Jesus H Christ I wasn't ready for that degree of bullshittery. Still finished every game except Verdict day.
As someone who started with Freedom Unite, I do have nostalgia for the older games with all its jank and resource gathering but I'm not in any hurry to go back and play them.
Man... When I played this game at 2004.. that was the time.... I abandoned the game after getting cooked by Yian Kut-ku until I came back 5 years later. Good times.
I have played MH1 when it came to ps2. A friend of mine bought it out of curiosity and me shortly after. We never played together since we didnt have internet back at that time, but we both had a blast with this game BECAUSE it was so grindy. Yeah I remember that we also hated the controls, but still. You will never forget your first rathalos! :) Great times. The MHs that came after this we totally destroyed. Since then I love the series. Since the very first game :) I also played the ones on PSP, I literally bought a PSP just for them. MH is one of my fav. series, even though I prolly played more Counter Strike or WoW in my life, I still play 100% through all of them. Looking forward to play wilds next.
For anyone wondering there is a well know mod called Mh plus for Mh1 and MhG that makes the gameplay more alike recent Mh ( attacks on square etc ) there is also one for MH2
Miss that one quest in MHFU where u had to get some gathering stuff in the mountains and at the end of the quest you got suprised by an fucking tigrex with your starting gear.
I started my Hunting Journey at MH Dos but since my cousins all have PSP, I switched to Freedom. I was 7 back then, I’m 23 now and I do still play Freedom Unite and MHP3rd on PPSSPP x Hunsterverse
MH1 Veteran here, I really feel validated after seeing this video. I always thought Monster Hunter is getting easier, and this video is proof. I first finished the village alone and then ordered an internet connection JUST FOR MH1 to play online. Let me tell you… this was anything but a cakewalk, because it definitely was harder, grindier and I couldn’t understand everything because my English was bad. Seeing him RUN OUT OF TIME in this video put a smile on my face, because it shows how hard it was, that this guy… a grown man who already played MH Rise, struggled so much with a simple Rathalos. This never happened again to me because the games got easier and easier. Sure some of it was because of bad controls and stuff, but all of it together made it really hard, and thus so rewarding and addicting. DO YOU KNOW HOW RARE A RATHALOS PLATE WAS??? Good lord it was rare, people killed hundreds of em, and never got enough for the full fatalis armor. I recommend every Monster Hunter fan to play it, to proof yourself and see where the series actually came from. Hunt Rathalos, hunt Plesioth, hunt Lao Shan Lung, hunt Fatalis and TRY the powdersone quest. There is so much that was lost in the series because of quality of life changes and the need to appeal to EVERYONE. You actually felt like a Hunter back then, now you feel like a monster fighter.
Brings back memories of playing this game as a kid never did get to play online thou as we didint have internet but i beat it as a kid yian kut ku was so hard back then
This is what I'm doing right now too. My last MH was World. My first was Freedom Unite, but my PSP broke back then. The first one I really played was Generations, but damn it is so hard to get into the Original at first. I knew GS didn't have charge attacks cuz I've played Freedom, which is MH1G in PSP form, but the right analog attacking confused me at first haha
Weirdly, the right analog stick controls have grown on me. It's not great, but going into MH Dos and Frontier I've gotten so used to it that it feels semi normal. 😂
It's very difficult for me to have much issue with the flaws and the grindy nature of mh1 since I got it on release and played it religiously until the online servers were shut down, but I don't blame anyone who doesn't get very far in. The simplicity and the the nature of how hard it is to save up money or even just stock up on supplies is what makes me love it, even more than Rise if I'm being honest. There's a kind of beauty in knowing that nothing is given to you, you have to claw and scrape together everything on you own slowly, and it makes things much more rewarding to me. Undoubtedly part of the reason why I love it as much as I do still is because I heavily played it when it was current, I know where the jank is and know how to play around it or use it to my advantage. The one negative I can think of for newer players, at least back then, was the demands from online players. You had to know how to permanently stunlock the raths for plate farming, fatalis groups typically demanded you have either the yian kut-ku cannon or quickcaster HBG for clust 2 spamming. You had to know when claw day was and stock up on wyvern claws so you could craft the clust 2 ammo. Hell some of the groups I'd come across later on would demand to see a completed ruststone weapon before they would allow you to join them on kirin or fatalis hunts. The already small community in NA could get very elitist and demanding if you were the new guy.
My first MH experience was freedom unite. My brother told me the game was cool and left for 2 days, and when he got back i had no progress because i didn’t know what to do… i had to press O next to a ledge to climb and thats how I started…. The beginning of MHFU was tough for a newbie. Now im a master rank hunter with experience in sns. Duelb. Lance. Hbg. As well as gs and Ls to a lesser extent
Crafting pickaxes, plate runs, fucking egg carry to chest and press the wrong button and drop it. Ah yes, the memories. Edit. Forgot you had to carry crafting tomes because crafts could fail
"How did this game ever become a series?" Well the standarts used to be different, my uncle showed me couple of oldies few weeks back when we went to visit. Mule was my favorite but me and my brother failed to do another try thanks to me spotting edible mushrooms during our walk, a lot of them so time run out. We also tried a game based on a movie, shameless Mario copy and some plane game and a Snoopy game. Mules soundtrack is super catchy tho, the beat is such a nice one for such an old game.
MH1 "MY HANDS HURT! WHY'D THEY DO THIS!?" Please also add +1 "How'd this become a series" because 1 was rough and I loved every hour I played it back in the day
I remapped my pcsx2 to let me use the face buttons to attack. I also mapped a button for unlocked framerate, so i could run at the speed of light during non combat. Its a charming game. Flaws and all
My first Monster Hunter game was Freedom (Not Unite - just Freedom) on the PSP. The claw grip to even play was almost as painful as the actual game. I had a real love hate relationship with the game. It didn't help that I was the only person I knew with a PSP. I made it to the Yian Garuga urgent quest and while I played the game a ton, I never pushed past that. I'm glad I gave the series a chance with 3 Ultimate in hopes the series got better, because it sure did. I didn't play much of 3U, but 4 Ultimate and World went on to be some of my favorite games.
I hope you give MH Freedom a try one day. Its basically a more "polished" version of MH1. With one of the biggest walls ive ever experienced in a monster hunter game. Legit the main reason why i never could finish it because no matter what i just couldnt beat the damn monster.
The closest I've ever gotten to playing the first game is Generations Ultinate on the Switch. I've had a strong hate for Cephadrome for a few years. I still feel a tidbit of rage when I see it sometimes.
You mean to tell me after single-handedly slaying a Rathalos that all I'm good for is delivering eggs?!
It's always eggs. 😩
basicly sums up every mmo.
oh you fight god in the base game and now some evil dude with a fraction of that power is showing up?
not sure if we can trust you. here, gather some herbs or sausages or some shit lmao
And then you get to the chest and press the wrong button, dropping the egg.
The three Iodrome quest is literal hell. The Ioprey never stop spawning. Half a dozen of those fuckers lunging at you at all times changes a man.
Same with master rank great girros in world
what makes old MH -preys literal hell is that their lunge attacks reaches really far and has considerable tracking on them (they can even bend a bit horizontally midair)
It really dose dosent it lol I still have nightmares
the barrel bomb being stolen out of your pockets while you were having an actively Bad Time with rathalos was unnecessarily mean of the game -- ESPECIALLY with how annoying the resource gathering looks 😂
It's hard out here in MH1 😩
1st - 2nd gen games aren't so bad emulated.. especially with speed cheats/built in accelerators.
have a stack of Felvines in your inventory, you can buy them for cheap from the item vendor I think, Melynxes will prioritize stealing Felvines over your other items instead
Melynxes are a wild annoyance.
you can also recover all of your stolen items in that one area in the far north where all the felynes are

Miss that one quest in MHFU where u had to get some gathering stuff in the mountains and at the end of the quest you got suprised by an fucking tigrex with your starting gear.
@@Threat_LvL Surprise!~
There's a quest like that in the Japanese version! There's an egg quest in 3* (iirc) that gets raided by a Rathalos
Ah, gotta love old MH. Bitch ass hit boxes, Rathalos that loves the sky way too much, and egg quests that have way too much small monsters.
Absolutely hilarious video xD but also! let me know when you do fatalis :D
Holy shit, is that SkojSkull!? 👀
@@LouTwoShoes oh hai! 🤣 Honestly been really loving your stuff!
I saw your MH1 video a while back, good stuff too! ✌️😎
I beat the single player in this game with every weapon minus the light gunbow. God I loved this game, so many plate runs online.
Id enjoy a part 2 if you decide to do one :)
It's a hard maybe currently.
But a Monster Hunter Dos video at some point... Absolutely. 👀
@@LouTwoShoes oh hell yeah! A Frontier video would also be cool. Its very fun
@@freddoesvox9033 I don't wanna spoil too much, but that may or may not be on the list too... 🤫
@@LouTwoShoes pog
Im sending much love bro! Amazing video! I hope you get more views, really you deserve more!
Much appreciated! 🤙
I started my Hunting Journey at MH Dos but since my cousins all have PSP, I switched to Freedom. I was 7 back then, I’m 23 now and I do still play Freedom Unite and MHP3rd on PPSSPP x Hunsterverse
MH1 Veteran here, I really feel validated after seeing this video. I always thought Monster Hunter is getting easier, and this video is proof. I first finished the village alone and then ordered an internet connection JUST FOR MH1 to play online. Let me tell you… this was anything but a cakewalk, because it definitely was harder, grindier and I couldn’t understand everything because my English was bad. Seeing him RUN OUT OF TIME in this video put a smile on my face, because it shows how hard it was, that this guy… a grown man who already played MH Rise, struggled so much with a simple Rathalos. This never happened again to me because the games got easier and easier. Sure some of it was because of bad controls and stuff, but all of it together made it really hard, and thus so rewarding and addicting. DO YOU KNOW HOW RARE A RATHALOS PLATE WAS??? Good lord it was rare, people killed hundreds of em, and never got enough for the full fatalis armor. I recommend every Monster Hunter fan to play it, to proof yourself and see where the series actually came from. Hunt Rathalos, hunt Plesioth, hunt Lao Shan Lung, hunt Fatalis and TRY the powdersone quest. There is so much that was lost in the series because of quality of life changes and the need to appeal to EVERYONE. You actually felt like a Hunter back then, now you feel like a monster fighter.
bullfango... as far as the eye can see...
Truly awful creatures.
fun fact: you can trade kutku mats at the elder in forest/hills for plesioth mats and craft its armor long before you unlock its fight.
I played this when I was like 10 and it scarred me for life (never beat Rathalos) so I never touched another monster hunter game ever again.
Brings back memories of playing this game as a kid never did get to play online thou as we didint have internet but i beat it as a kid yian kut ku was so hard back then
This is what I'm doing right now too. My last MH was World. My first was Freedom Unite, but my PSP broke back then. The first one I really played was Generations, but damn it is so hard to get into the Original at first. I knew GS didn't have charge attacks cuz I've played Freedom, which is MH1G in PSP form, but the right analog attacking confused me at first haha
Weirdly, the right analog stick controls have grown on me. It's not great, but going into MH Dos and Frontier I've gotten so used to it that it feels semi normal. 😂
It's very difficult for me to have much issue with the flaws and the grindy nature of mh1 since I got it on release and played it religiously until the online servers were shut down, but I don't blame anyone who doesn't get very far in. The simplicity and the the nature of how hard it is to save up money or even just stock up on supplies is what makes me love it, even more than Rise if I'm being honest. There's a kind of beauty in knowing that nothing is given to you, you have to claw and scrape together everything on you own slowly, and it makes things much more rewarding to me.
Undoubtedly part of the reason why I love it as much as I do still is because I heavily played it when it was current, I know where the jank is and know how to play around it or use it to my advantage. The one negative I can think of for newer players, at least back then, was the demands from online players. You had to know how to permanently stunlock the raths for plate farming, fatalis groups typically demanded you have either the yian kut-ku cannon or quickcaster HBG for clust 2 spamming. You had to know when claw day was and stock up on wyvern claws so you could craft the clust 2 ammo. Hell some of the groups I'd come across later on would demand to see a completed ruststone weapon before they would allow you to join them on kirin or fatalis hunts. The already small community in NA could get very elitist and demanding if you were the new guy.
mh1 is peak
It’s been so long I remember this game but when Monster Hunter 3 on the Wii came out it was far better
My first MH experience was freedom unite. My brother told me the game was cool and left for 2 days, and when he got back i had no progress because i didn’t know what to do… i had to press O next to a ledge to climb and thats how I started…. The beginning of MHFU was tough for a newbie. Now im a master rank hunter with experience in sns. Duelb. Lance. Hbg. As well as gs and Ls to a lesser extent
Crafting pickaxes, plate runs, fucking egg carry to chest and press the wrong button and drop it. Ah yes, the memories.
Edit. Forgot you had to carry crafting tomes because crafts could fail
"How did this game ever become a series?" Well the standarts used to be different, my uncle showed me couple of oldies few weeks back when we went to visit. Mule was my favorite but me and my brother failed to do another try thanks to me spotting edible mushrooms during our walk, a lot of them so time run out. We also tried a game based on a movie, shameless Mario copy and some plane game and a Snoopy game. Mules soundtrack is super catchy tho, the beat is such a nice one for such an old game.
I'm marrying your OC. Hope you like Vegas.
The reason why we need Rathalos in every series of the game. Just to vent out the frustration of dealing with his BS in MH. 😂
😂 MH is my favorite game and Doom is my wife's favorite game so I laughed when you used Doom music
It's a good mix 😂
MH1 "MY HANDS HURT! WHY'D THEY DO THIS!?"
Please also add +1 "How'd this become a series" because 1 was rough and I loved every hour I played it back in the day
I couldn't stop smiling through this entire video. 😂 My husband is asleep, and I accidentally cracked up at, "I'm gonna spit in his mouth!"
I remapped my pcsx2 to let me use the face buttons to attack. I also mapped a button for unlocked framerate, so i could run at the speed of light during non combat.
Its a charming game. Flaws and all
@@keviniaquinto128 It's got charm in spades, for sure!
What if Monster Hunter no prefixes... end of sentence
Ahhhh... *inhaling* the nostalgia...
My first Monster Hunter game was Freedom (Not Unite - just Freedom) on the PSP. The claw grip to even play was almost as painful as the actual game. I had a real love hate relationship with the game. It didn't help that I was the only person I knew with a PSP. I made it to the Yian Garuga urgent quest and while I played the game a ton, I never pushed past that.
I'm glad I gave the series a chance with 3 Ultimate in hopes the series got better, because it sure did. I didn't play much of 3U, but 4 Ultimate and World went on to be some of my favorite games.
Some companies: closes servers short after some consoles die
Monster hunter servers after 5 generations:
Pretty sure the server is just sitting in their server datacenter and they forgot about it
Oh woah thats rough.
I think I only played a Handheld Monster Hunter and that wasn't pretty but it was fun.
Idk why Everybody can use Hammer but not with me😢
Woah calm down there bud😂😂😂😂😂
I hope you give MH Freedom a try one day. Its basically a more "polished" version of MH1. With one of the biggest walls ive ever experienced in a monster hunter game. Legit the main reason why i never could finish it because no matter what i just couldnt beat the damn monster.
@@Spicypuff I may give it a go at some point, either that or Monster Hunter G.
Start with sword and shield
Chief gives you the perfect amount for full leather.
blows it on something out of budget every single time.
@@FlintDragoon Worth it. 👍
Honestly I always preferred the older games to rise (still love it to death though)
With the PSP monster Hunter you get the single claw hand. During the time of the PSP monster Hunter games my hand had a permanent c shape.
Praying on that fatalis run with the homies soon
Bullfango the real nightmare
Facts
I was very young when I first played MH I still hated that version of Rathalos to this day.
The closest I've ever gotten to playing the first game is Generations Ultinate on the Switch.
I've had a strong hate for Cephadrome for a few years. I still feel a tidbit of rage when I see it sometimes.
@@FryesBoyfriend Cephadrome is a prick for sure. 😂
