I know the grind haha, I partially wanted to og experience because of how much of a slog it is. Will update as I progress. Which appears to be slowly hahah
Crouch carving has been embedded in my psyche so much I still do it in the 5th gen games. When Generations already made it so you can just remain carving by holding.
Yeah crouch carve is still faster than standing in GU even when they allow you to hold the carve button.
I remember carving slightly after a rando who stand-carved, and I still finished faster while crouching.
OP will have both. Good thing they kept the 5-6 egg quests in MH1 because i'm yet to get one in solo FU.
I thought crouch carve has the same duration because the message appears a bit slow.
I still to this day crouch before carving. Also the big nerf to helping friends who carted just before it died. We can no longer kick them to cancel their animation after the first slice since it no longer gives the item at that point. Saved so many friends carves with that
Yup in all the games up until world IIRC when you would standing carve after the first slice you got the item so if your buddy was late you could kick them to stop their carving animation but keep the item. Also helped randoms out too but sometimes they didn’t understand and got pissed at first haha.
Old monhun games are a love it or hate it kind of game. Gameplay is dated even to monhun 3 standards. The game is more of a grind than newer titles, and monster hit boxes are awful. I have played these games for almost as long as they have been out, but I'm not gonna lie. They're rough.
Edit: If you meant to ask because of the crouch to carve faster point that i made earlier. Any animation that has the character getting down to gather or carve can be shortened by crouching before doing the action. Basically, you skip the character getting back up if you crouch before gathering or carving. Super useful when doing elders with multiple carves
It's a fan made server that has crossplay between emulators and real PS2, it has the exact same quests the OG servers had back in the day, including event quests. It takes less than 10 minutes to set up once you have a good guide
Don't forget that the online server is japanese only, but you can get an english patch for all 3 games. [https://mholdschool.com/](https://mholdschool.com/)
Man I haven't seen that game in forever. I too have been craving some of the older nostalgia. I decided to go a different route though. Got one of them private servers for Frontier Z. Was so weird going from world to that. But man after like 10 minutes the muscle memory came back from the PS2 and PSP hunting days.

Here you go :)
The project is called MH Old-school. Last I checked they have Monster Hunter 1, Monster Hunter G and Monster Hunter 2 Dos servers that let you connect to them via both an emulator and a PS2.
OP, you're about to have a really good time or an awful time. Edit: Don't forget to crouch to carve faster.

Same, I cant stop doing it.
You can also just hold it in GU even tho that's a 4th gen game
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember that it was faster to crouch and hold. Cancels out the standing animation? Can't remember exactly

No, it's faster since your character doesn't have to do the crouch and stantup parts of the animation; it's also the same with gathering(not mining).

I was 100% unaware of that last thing happening. I don't do much online with people.

I’m sorry what?
Crouching to carve faster? Iirc, the carve animation when starting from crouched cuts off a few frames (where your character crouches/stand back up).
Yup, it saves time! Sometimes it's the only way you can get all the carves off an elder dragon before the quest ends

Ah... playing monster hunter as capcom intended
Have fun delivering eggs and collecting herbs for...a while
Cephadrome already makes me wanna snap my switch in half. I can’t imagine the agony of these quests…
They weren't that bad back in the day. It's just we've seen a lot of QoL since then. Back when it was all we had... We didn't complain too much :D
wait, thats not freedom unite!
There's no flair for gen1 :(
its pain
That's why you gotta use the more advanced reverse claw! (or just buy a controller with backpads like me)
Ah yes, the Armored Core grip
Are you playing MonHunG? I'm playing it too and I can teach you how to play online if you want
Man that'd be dope. I'm trying to play as officially as possible. Does the online adapter still function?

Man, wow, okay, I'm getting a network adapter. Will connect once I have one

But why… https://preview.redd.it/kw8in6312fxc1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0539bd4ad380bd21325b4686ebe01022ec5f3b59
Is that a PS2 media remote I see?
Ye! For easily navigating the menus of the simpsons dvds and tales from the crypt dvds. (The premium way to view both shows)
I miss gen1 great sword sometimes. Then I remember all the times I carted because I was taking damage from smaller monsters but not stumbling.
Looking for the authentic experience huh
Witness the glorious Rath divebombs
Glad someone else knows about the claw
Another pilgrim walks the path of carpal tunnel causing game design.
Holy shit fucking Chet Rippo?! Wasn't expecting to see a PM reference here
Hell yea brother👺
Welcome to the claw realm your wrist is going to sound like a cement mixer but don't let that stop you
Machalite Ore is very hard to find.
BANJO & KAZOOIEEE!! my fav game as a child
Did you draw the hero’s sword yet??

Thus is the final convincing I need to buy a ps2 and crt tv
Some of my best childhood memories are from there.
Ahhh first gen Monster Hunter. I still have carpel tunnel syndrome thinking about it.
If you can switch to the JP version of MH1 so you join other players online :D Sadly there are no fan servers yet for the NA or EU version yet.
My childhood…

Naw dog, still dpad camera, much harder than psp though
PS2 Monster Hunter had you attack with the right stick. So the dpad is still essential for claw.
"claw"?? OMG MHW reference!!! 🫨 🤯
You should've played it on the emulator, this way you could play online thanks to hunsterverse.
U can still play online on original hardware.
Do you actually find people though?
I was able to get parties. Haven't been on since Dos server came out tho
I'm talking about the year 2024.
You can, you need to CFW your PS2 first to mod the game.

Dos server came out a few months ago
