Weapon Mained: Greatsword
After giving this one another glance before moving on to MH2, I can understand what people see in it. This game is essentially the unrefined bones of something that could be truly great, and I do have to respect the amount of work and love the devs must have put into this title back then.
I learned to enjoy a lot of what the game offered, from the analog stick attacking which was surprisingly intuitive to use, to memorizing exactly what gathering point will give me what. There was a lot to learn when it came to getting into the mindset of a Hunter like the game encourages, and it truly was a fun time when it came to learning how to properly take on a new foe.
While I enjoyed my time in Kokoto, I can't say it's all roses. For a first game the amount of unique monsters made for the Village Quests, out of just three monster skeletons, is admirable. They're of course not all winners to fight, a few of my most disdained being Basarios, Plesioth, and of course the highlight himself, Rathalos.
Maybe one day I'll come back to Monster Hunter 1 and enjoy it even more, but it'll likely be through Monster Hunter G, which I've heard is the distinctly better way to experience the 1st Generation of Monster Hunter these days.
