Giving it extra credit for being the first, but it certainly doesn't stand up to some of the better entries in the series, like Unite, 4U, or Rise.

the worst controls I have played with in a LONG TIME. shit was rough (ruff)

A common criticism is that the controls are bad. And while this is true, i think the controls work fine in the context of the game. The monsters move-sets are very basic, they charge, they bite, they swipe they're tails or they hip-check you. This means that keeping track of the monster even with the awkward controls is not that hard.
With that benig said, Monster Hunter 1 has some other problems. The small monster usually represent a bigger threat than the big monster, which is just silly. Your inventory space is quite small. The camera on some zones just didn't work. And the grind required to advance in the city is just absurd.
But despite all this problems, this game still has moments where the monster hunter gameplay shines, moments where the game is actually fun. It just happens that this moments not always occur and most of the times you're forced to deal with the frustrating part of the game.

It was clunky. It was full of game mechanics poorly explained.
This game set the foundation for the series and if you played it back then, the atmosphere it created was incredible.


En kötü Monster Hunter oyunu.

The first Monster Hunter is a disaster of a game because the controls are horrible, the concept of using the analog as an attack is really stupid, combine that with the unresponsive camera and the disgusting hitboxes, makes the game really unenjoyable in some aspects.

One of the first games that changed my whole life. I started to learn English because of it. I remember pretty well, I had to deliver 5 blue mushrooms and was like "what is a blue mushroom..."

For sure the game is not the best one out of the series, but it was good enough to make me fall in love with the game!!!

Attacking with the control stick? That's new
