All Monster Hunter games are similar. However, MHTri and MH3U are special because they are the only ones that feature underwater combat. Unfortunately, neither of these games is available on current platforms, making it nearly impossible to play them legally and safely today. It would be really great if MH3U were available on modern devices. MHTri was my first Monster Hunter, and I truly want its legacy, as well as MH3U’s, to be preserved the right way.
"The first time I heard about Monster Hunter was in its third installment for the Wii console. The experience was quite simple because I didn’t want the game itself, but rather the controller. In America, they released a game set with a Super Nintendo-style controller, but in my mind, all I was thinking about was using the controller for other games But the moment I put the game in and the cinematic started with the game’s introduction, it hooked me. As I began playing, I got hooked on facing colossal monsters, essentially with what could be called a stick, improving through the falls and seeing the monster's characteristics. It was an incredible feeling, and I wish I could relive that first time I played this beautiful game."

Honestly, the only way modern players can try the underwater mechanic, one of the best mh games ever released and a true nostalgia piece. As a monster hunter fan myself, i would recomend to at least try this or mh4u if u want to try an "og" mh game.

The third generation of Monster Hunter was such an important time for the series, Capcom and the Monster Hunter team innovated so much in terms of map and monster design and the effects are still felt throughout the series to this day. I think that it would be incredible for players of the newer games to be able to experience the 3rd generation of Monster Hunter, especially since right now, there's no easy way to play these games, unlike MHGU and the two fifth generation games, there is no way to legally play them on modern hardware. Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is such an important game for the series but also for me personally, such a beautiful experience with incredible musical compositions, map designs, art, monsters, weapons and an overall good time with that old sense of wonder that you'd feel when booting up a game for the first time.
My predilct game mh ,brachidos and abisal amazing, i can end all game ando engoy custom builds, hunt the plesiont un the water really my favorte mh portátil game ever
The game that means so much to my, the acuatic combat was really good (when you're not playing the 3DS version XD), the charismatic monsters like Dire Miralis, Abbysal Lagiacrus, Gobul, Nibelsnarf, Hollowed Jhen Mohran, Rust Duramboros and many others that are closed on this game and they didn't deserve that fate, they have their rights to shine once again and I'll fight to see this game on GOG and preserve the legacy of MH
The first monster hunter I played, so many hours, and the funny part is that I found it on a pawn shop, but was really a discovery, this game made my r1 button don't work on my old 3ds
Water combat was so fun and had such an amazing and special atmosphere to it wich would be way better with the right stick of modern controllers, I used to play it in a 3DS The Deserted Island map is so cool and beautiful in its underwater zones and the Flooded Forest had such a cozy beautiful nice aura with its rainforest vibes, loved this game, also amazing fights like Gobul, Royal Ludroth and Lagiacrus, sadly Gobul is one of the few monsters that never got to future games and stayed in 3 Ultimate like Qurupeco and Gigginox
This was the entry title for me to this magnificent world of monster hunter. I've played it so much on my WiiU and 3DS... I'd definitely buy a PC version of it, to relieve those days. Also, aquatic battles and Lagiacrus, baby!
Those games also need your vote!
Silent Hill: Origins
Silent Hill: OriginsSilent Hill: Origins is the fifth installment in the Silent Hill survival horror series, and a prequel to the original game. As in the previous entries, the player move back and forth between nightmare and real versions of the town, gathering items used to solve puzzles and open up new areas. Monsters of various types provide obstacles and, in series tradition, are mostly disturbingly twisted versions of humanity. The main character can fight with his bare fists or use melee weapons. Unlike previous games in the series, melee weapons break after a time. There are also one-shot items that can be thrown and several guns. There is no HUD, but the edge of the screen turns red when the protagonist is near death.

The player can build Digi-Farms to raise, evolve and communicate with the Digimon.

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
Silent Hill: Shattered MemoriesSilent Hill: Shattered Memories is the seventh installment in the Silent Hill survival horror series, and a stand-alone reimagining of the original Silent Hill video game. Once again, you will cast Harry Mason searching across the haunted town for his missing daughter Cheryl. Through his exploration, Harry will come across objects and recordings that tell some of the history of Silent Hill. New to the series are a depiction of Silent Hill's demonic alter-dimension as a world of ice, and the removal of weapons from the game: when the monsters come out, Harry must literally run for his life. Between scenes, the game will cut to a psychiatrist's office, who asks personal questions about Harry and his past experiences. The game will then alter itself based on the player's responses, changing characters and lines of dialog to something intended to be more personally uncomfortable.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom PainMetal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is the sequel to Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes and a prequel to the original Metal Gear. The game has a complex story with long cut-scene sequences, but there are fewer and they are shorter compared to earlier Metal Gear Solid titles. Most of the gameplay mechanics introduced in Ground Zeroes are carried over: it is still an action game and stealth oriented but replaces the linear corridor design from most earlier titles with large open world environments that offer the player unrestricted freedom for the approach. The world has now a real-time day and night cycle and various weather effects that influence enemy behaviour, visibility and sound. Sabotaging or destroying certain structures can also influence other parts of the map.
