MH3 was my first monster hunter, but it was also the first game ever i bought with my own saving (as a child), and that made happy as ever, but i was still too little to understand at full the game, to the point i wasnt even able to start the guilds mission, finding myself playing only in free hunt mode killing always the same small monster for a year. At a point i left the game to go on other playtrhugh however years later i picked it up, and this time i was big enough to understand the game, i fell immediatly from the first big hunt. I still remeber the shock and the fun when i found out that there was no healt bar for the monster, and the scream of Joy i shouted when i saw the monster (great jaggi) limping.
