User blog comment:Kogath/Poll: The Monster Hunter series is 10 years old today. How long have you been playing the series?/@comment-26066195-20140318031052

My first game was Monster Hunter Freedom Unite. My friend had a PSP and MHFU was the first game he got for it. Boss fights have always been a favorite part of video games for me, so once he got it he showed me and knew I would love it. Seeing that the whole game was about fighting giant dragons and all sorts of monsters, I went to get a PSP as soon as I could. I was pretty bad at the game, but regardless I kept playing, working to get past every monster. After I defeated Ukanlos almost a year later, I found out about MHP3rd, which was going to only be released in Japan. I imported it once it came out, and despite only knowing a bit of Japanese I had a blast with it. A few years later I learned that MH3U was going to come to the west, and since I was a fully fledged monster hunter fan by then I was super excited. Now in present day time I have beaten MH3U, and as I wait for MH4U I spend much of my hunting time trying to beat quests in both MHFU and MH3U that I haven't beaten.
