this was my first mh game, and i loved it. the graphics were amazing for a nintendo DS game, the reason i didn't give it 5 stars waas because the farming can get tedious, but in 2021 generations is dead, and very few people actually play. there is an offline campaign but its not too long. and with how much rng there is with items farming is not the most pleasant experience, ESPECIALLY when you in the high ranks in online, if your going in a full playthrough of this (and im not talking about gen ultimate, and xx ) id recommend you grab a group of 4 and play with them, because if your reading this, chances are, you are considering it. i haven't played the remakes of gen, so idk if they're dead, but i know gen is dying, if not, dead. but with the few years i played it, i STILL have more to do. so to those of you who are reading this, weather you are getting gen, world or even preordering rise, if you agree or not, happy hunting ;)
