MH Oldschool

Thank you, Kresna, for your detailed and spirited and honest reply! I appreciate your work in bringing Dos to a wider audience, and the care you have taken to make the translation as officially Monster Hunter as possible is fantastic. Most of what you wrote I understand or I guessed at before and I ...

What is the job of the translator? Professor Mazzotta says translators have a habit of thinking they are artists and they inject their own ideas into the translation which changes the meaning, tone, intent of the artist. If we are to have respect for the original work and to try to understand it, to...

Felyne have been talking since MH1. You can also set them to just meow like pervious games. Aye, but for me the hunt is a quiet place away from people talking and away from civilization. MHFU airu, Chacha in Tri, these are wonderful and the limit of speech during the hunt. Barely coherent and only ...

https://i.ibb.co/HHr61qs/IMG-2751.jpg I forgot tranqs for the capture, the final “ovenblaster” (as my family calls the wyvern fire) was face to face with the Reoleia doing her last fire breath attack. That moment when I realized she was charging up for her flames as I was doing the same, fantastic ...

Yikes I can’t believe there’s so much positivity for this game here. Airu chat boxes were a travesty that should have had the option to turn off. Airu’s speaking brings the game down to kiddy arcade levels of attention seeking. The circle is now complete, From Software ripped off MH for Demon Souls ...

I picked up MHG today and am excited to try it for the first time. I don’t know the differences between MH-Jp and MH-Eng and MHG … why is MH-Jp more popular than the other two? My impression from reading old MH promotional material in English was that the translators made it a real passion project b...

So how do you all hold your PSPs/Controllers? Edit: I'm also interested on how the fuck you're supposed to play on 3DS On 3DS I’ve switched from using the touch-screen camera control to just using the left hand controls. I decided I prefer playing when the camera isn’t moving all the time so I can ...

Adam - I totally agree about items and hunter arts. But then again I don't think anybody should be buying or farming items anyway. All monster hunter games are better when the player engages with the world through hunter/gathering rather than menuing. Just hunt and gather and make everything yoursel...

Hey, Stephan, thanks for the replies. So do you think the "portable boss-rush" or the "work-simulator" ideas, as ways to understand and evaluate the series, have any merit? How to explain the relative crash of the Japanese monster hunter market? Rise was very popular with kids on...

Original hardware if possible, is fantastic. This really hit me when playing Tri (though "emulated" on the WiiU) and the controller was so much better than playing emulated on the Steamdeck. Controllers is something I don't see too much focus on but old Sony/Nintendo controllers can be of ...
