The 3rd Generation is the one I started with... that being said, I am probably a little biased with it... but for me, it's the generation that defines the best of the series right now.

I've played MHFU from start to finish, and I can see why so many say it's great - because it is. If they had ever released a HD console version I would've bought it, hell I'd still buy it now. My only real complaints are the screwed up hitboxes and ridiculous training school quests. That's it really.

But the Switch Axe is my best and favorite weapon, and nearly all of my top favorite monsters belong in the 3rd gen... also, I really, REALLY enjoy swimming. So, with that said, 3U would be my pick.
