Probably the greatest entry to the classic line of Monster Hunter titles, introducing many new additions like climbing and Monster mounting which is common in the current Monster Hunter entries. This was my first and will forever be my favorite entry which got me to go back and forth to playing every title in the series. Only Generations and Rise have gotten me close to how many hours I've clocked into this game.
If GU didn't have the early parts of Gen that would easily be the best Monster Hunter, but as it stands this reigns supreme over all of them. An incredible flagship with Gore (if you ignore this being the expansion where Seregios is the real flagship), broke ass CB, the absurd story that's way cooler than it has any right to be.
Apex Monsters suck and are a blight, but everything else rules.

apex monsters were very tedious and some areas in the maps could be really frustrating thanks to ledges. my biggest gripe with it is that weapon balancing is really bad towards the endgame (out of 14 weapons maybe only 5 arent left in the dust). but man its still an amazing game and i cannot get enough of this series. charge blade was a blast.
