TIL: You can skip the camera focusing on the monster when you capture/kill it by rolling or pressing start.

I've also tried the demos for the 3DS games, but I just find it way too uncomfortable. Generations on the Switch in handheld mode is tolerable though.

• Monster Hunter Tri
  First one I played, but never played it much. Just enough to know that I liked it, and then bought World.
• Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate
  Still pretty early in this, as I ended just playing World when I felt like monhunning. Kinda surprised? at how little I miss a bunch of World's conveniences, and feel like in this format I pay more attention to my surroundings. Expecting Rise to be a good mix of both, but we'll see.
  Mostly played bow, I think aerial style just 'cause I like bouncing-up off the mon and shooting mid-air.
• Monster Hunter: World
  Steam says I've played this for 169.4 hours. I never finished Iceborne (never did the Velkhana fight), but this's what's made me most excited to play more.
  I started out with hunting horn and liked that a bunch, but after trying insect glaive I barely went back.
• Monster Hunter Rise
  I love a lot of stuff about this one, especially everything wirebug-related.

• 2021 - Monster Hunter World: The Boardgame - Seems kinda cool? Multiple people hunt a big monster.
• ???? - Monster Hunter Trading Card Game - Seems to be separate to Hunting Card? For example, there are different icons in the top right corner.
