Played some of world and a bit of 4U but never made it to HR in either of them so this was the first monster hunter I really got into. I still have a bunch of sets to make and weapons to try out but I beat the final boss so I feel pretty confidant in saying this game is pretty cool. Having to work around the hyper aggression of the monsters and the slow ass high commitment moves is fun and most of the monsters are really fun fights to learn and the game doesn't force you through a bunch of long ass tutorial missions like world and 4u did.
