๐ Relevant Posts Only
Keep it related to Monster Hunter. Plain and simple. If it's questionable, be ready to back it up.
๐ Respect Your Fellow Hunters
Greenhorns or oldhats, we all start somewhere in the series. Everyone is welcome.
No racism, bigotry, flaming, trolling, or any other behavior unbecoming of a guild hunter. We're here to play and discuss Monster Hunter with like-minded folks, act like it.
No "game shaming": This isn't a place for title vs title arguments. Take that to steam forums or elsewhere. Compare/contrast mechanics between games, discuss what worked or didn't and how. Devolving into flame wars of "MHX sucks, gib more MHY" will not be tolerated.
No "off-meta" shaming: having fun playing the game is the meta. Discuss strats, builds, and give suggestions, but that's all they are, suggestions.
๐ Original Art Only
No AI art: too easy to spam, too low effort.
Attribute original artists with links, watermarks, and mentions where available. If you don't know the source, say so.
If an internet sleuth finds a poster cribbing others' art as their own, that's a bannable offense.

It's supposed to feel slow. Rise is an aberration for combat, even the fastest monsters can barely hit you because the Hunter has far too many movement options, and even if they did hit you it does nothing because you have access to 9999 Ancient Potions back at camp (yes, they did that).
GU is probably one of the best old games, but it is no way perfect. Still, it did things that newer games can't do or won't do โ or even retract on doing: GU has Lagiacrus, which was promised to us along with underwater in the World promos, but were both removed for the final, and even if it is a vastly gimped Lagiacrus in GU because GU has no underwater either, at least we get the fight. One thing GU does lots better than the newer games is the companion system, since your cats can more actively help in battle (even sending you items mid-quest) and you can actually play as a cat.
It's defo good that you got it in sale! Having two or more MonHun games to play helps stave off "playstyle boredom" a fair bit.
