Classic series you've missed out on

I tried starting up the PSP Monster Hunter I have, and like, there's a tutorial in a bookcase or diary or something, and it's a hojillion pages long. Eeeeeef that.

The only tutorial you need is YouTube. Find a weapon you like, search up a video on it and begin to master your skills, the rest will come.

Just thought of a series I think I'd enjoy, but I've never touched.

The Batman Arkham series. I always hear good things about those games, and they get compared to Metroidvania's quite a bit, a genre we're lacking of in the 3D space. I think Arkham Knight is available on Wii U, one of them anyways.

That idea is, legit, slightly repulsive to me. It's shitty game design if your game can't be playable without outside resources. Like holy shit. Glad I only spent like $5 on the game.

If you intend to play them, go for Arkham Asylum and only that one. It's tight, it's fun and should be quite affordable. It's really the only one I would recommend.
The sequels all suffer from a disease called Ubisoftening, where the total area expands due to the addition of hot air and by Fibonacci sequence multiplication of boring collectibles.

Totally agree, (without being repulsed). It's an issue the series has always had. The newest one, MH4 Ultimate. Has actual tutorial missions for individual weapons, which teach you a good amount. I still prefer gaijin hunter on Youtube because he goes through specific steps while visually showing you the combo potential, as well as going into advanced stuff.

Of course, the best way to get into Monster Hunter is with a friend.

Kiwi - Asylum was the first one, correct? I'll have to hunt it down on 360 then if I ever get one.

Yes, and I totally agree with Kiwi's recommendation. The first one is a solid contender for my BGE list—very tightly designed and well-paced game. The sequels lose sight of what made the first one great, instead trying to latch onto some kind of open world concept.

Have to agree with that. Bigger doesn't always mean better. AA was a brilliant game, even coming from me who couldn't care less about Batman or comic book heroes.
