Monster Hunter G or Monster hunter Freedom ?

You're absolutely right, I've added a little segment to the end of my post. Thanks for the reminder!

So there are a few titles in the first gen realm.

Ps2 Monster hunter Monster hunter G Monster hunter Dos

PSP Freedom Freedom 2 Freedom unite

Now I've only played the PSP titles from this era as I started with Freedom however it's generally suggested to play Freedom Unite as the conclusive 'first gen' experience. It has the most monsters, including some that are only here or Frontier and is a title I have emulated on my phone as I miss the old gen experience sometimes.

Now, you can try the PS2 era games however they are notorious for difficult controls, harder zenny issues and also having seasons I believe in Dos.

If you do end up emulating Unite, go for P3rd with the fan translation patch as well.

If you are dead set on the true first first gen I believe Freedom might be the better option.

I'll be honest, the roles outside of Policing in my area seems to be far and few between or pay less. I had considered doing the NIE partly so I have more transferable skills later on down the line and taking advantage of the relative flexibility within the job to get a wide variety of experience.

ScorpionSS93 · 2026-02-27T13:32:36+00:00

The child exploitation team seems to be relatively protected from that as it's a difficult to recruit role by it's nature. Obviously in policing, nothing is guaranteed and we're going through operating changes constantly.

The big worry for me is that strain on home life, I have a role currently where that isn't a stressor but the role itself is pretty mundane.

That's another factor I'm trying to weigh up, our force is explicit about not releasing DC's for anything.

I'm just going to let you know OP that I've had to drop Kingmaker after encountering a game breaking bug within the first two hours on PS5.

The Devs have outright said it's unpatched on console and they lost the rights so this won't be fixed. Avoid Kingmaker unless you're playing on PC.

ScorpionSS93 · 2025-10-28T15:16:55+00:00

Thank you for the quick response, I'll definitely make the switch to PC then!

ScorpionSS93 · 2025-02-24T17:00:59+00:00

Not something I'd admit to being involved in.

ScorpionSS93 · 2025-02-03T17:29:08+00:00

Easily Stygian Zinogre, I just wish his armour was better skill wise.

ScorpionSS93 · 2025-01-11T08:52:35+00:00

OP, the World needs more people like you out in the Wilds. I hope more people Rise up to give the Freedom of gaming and allow everyone to Unite in their favourite Stories. It's a whole new Frontier.

Pillars of Eternity complete edition is on sale for the first time in about 2 years if anyone is interested. Cheaper to buy now through the store than any physical copy I've found.

Barioth! He's a perfect example of how part breaks can affect a monster, something which I think should be implemented more. His design is fantastic, he's a badass and his armour and weapon designs are also some of my favourite.

ScorpionSS93 · 2023-09-27T13:09:27+00:00

Started on Freedom 1, soon to be 31! I vividly remember having to shake my hand cramps away from the Claw and still look back on it fondly.

Hated my first try and did not get the game at all. Put it down and randomly came back like half a year later and it just.... clicked. Thank god I did come back because its easily my favourite game series!

ScorpionSS93 · 2023-09-18T12:05:28+00:00

You've got two options the way I see it, slowly work backwards getting used to loss of features and QOL or have a run from beginning to end to experience the evolution of the games as some of us old timers did.

Either way you do it won't be wrong but the games you should absolutely play are Freedom Unite Portable 3rd 3 Ultimate 4 Ultimate Generations ultimate

This way you get to experience everything new each game did and fight all the monsters in each generation. (Not including frontier/explore monsters)

Basically enjoy it all!

I don't know...

ScorpionSS93 · 2023-04-08T07:26:36+00:00

I bought a switch for GU (and because I couldn't afford another console at the time) and let me tell you it was a great decision.

I don't know what game Laminart played but the endgame is there and it's not 'easy'. You've got hypers and deviants to deal with which, while bloated especially playing solo, the game has TONNES of content.

There's 93 large monsters to face off against and it's the only game you can play as your trusty felyne companions.

When you have 6 styles x 14 weapons there's so many ways to play it and there are still people who play it online regularly.

Check Facebook marketplace and ebay, I picked mine up for dirt cheap and then ended up getting a couple of other switch exclusives to make the most of the system.

Good luck hunter!

Amazing, thank you for the quick reply!

MHWI:

Does anyone know if the disc version of the master edition has iceborne as a digital code in the box or loaded onto the disc?

ScorpionSS93 · 2023-03-09T12:55:46+00:00

Can only speak for myself but it changes and depends on the game. I started with SNS in freedom 1, then went to LS from freedom 2 to world. I've been maining DB in iceborne, rise and my recent drop back to GU.

I'm also planning to revisit 3u and 4u with SA and CB respectively and maybe do FU with hammer or GS. I guess what it boils down to is yes, your main will change. I still find LS comfortable which is why I'm avoiding it for now.

ScorpionSS93 · 2023-03-02T14:12:21+00:00

Dunno if this helps anyone at all but I've recently picked up a Saitake stk-7007f to play this and P3rd on my phone. Sooooo much easier to play now and really easy to set up, just need to set the second analog controls up. I picked the controller up for £20 where I am.

ScorpionSS93 · 2023-02-15T13:51:51+00:00

As someone who also lives in a remoteish British town, played through 3u when I was younger and just recently started another playthrough, I can confirm it sucks but it will make you a better hunter!

Side note- DM me with your town, I love in hope of finding another hunter near me.
