I started with Unite, then went to 3rd gen and back again.

The only things I liked about Unite are the crapload of content and the tense feeling of getting KO'd  when you're not being very very careful. I could've said difficulty, but the difficulty of Unite is cheap and poorly designed. I didn't like how you wasted A LOT of time waiting for a monsters to get out of the lava or to finally land on the ground where you can actually whack it. Getting killed by overpowered lame attacks that have ginormous hitboxes isn't any fun too. I mean... who gets killed by a chin bump or by getting dragged by a tail moving at 1 mph?

The tons of innovations in 3rd gen are pretty big and welcome for me. I just wished the difficulty was a little up there. The monsters are tricky enough, but the damage just sucks.

TLDR: I think 3rd gen's better, and Ultimate will be the best of them. :)
