Friend finally gets into Monster Hunter to see what i love about it so much

Some games should never ever have 'lore'.

Lore is one of the few interesting things video games have.
Why are anti-lore fags so whiny?

...

This is horrible b8, this wouldn't even work on half/v/ user, come on son. Apply yourself.

Lore so deep it doesn't even exist and instead you have to watch some retard on youtube pull shit out of his ass

You mean pull shit off tvtropes and reddit more like it.

The what now?

Bump for this

I have no fucking clue

It's still someone pulling shit out of his ass.

No idea

Also, thanks for that, Holla Forums

This vile ju-on is now yours to bare too.

...

soooo…. It's a robot dragon flesh-golem? I Don't see a problem here, user. Do golems not exist in Mon-hun or something?

...

It's non-cannon wankery from a concept art book.

No. Monster Hunter is basically: iron age man vs dinosaurs and dragons, but man has gunpowder.

Then they started to drip feed ancient super sci-fi stuff.

That was how the lorefags started to bleed in, but it was only the start.

Then it had a Metal Gear Solid tie in.

Now some retards believe mgs, resident evil and monster hunter are the same canon and monster hunter is a post apocaluptic world where the t virus made metal gears organic.

REALLY. THIS IS MONSTER HUNTER CANON FOR SOME PEOPLE.

Oh ok. I guess maybe that's a thing to be outraged over, maybe? Just tell him it's non-canon concepts and maybe direct them to proper lore or just explain that there is no real lore and to just enjoy the game.

Doesn't change the fact that someone wanted to do it.

Sounds awesome

Oh user, sweet thing, we all know that wont happen. Look at dark souls. By its last iteration 90% of the story was just reactions to head canon and fan service.

Lore exists for rpgs and sci fi games.

Who or what is that? Sounds like some faggot eceleb.

I don't see why Vaati doesn't do MH since it's a pretty good soulslike series.

dear lord, tell me you're joking

You know i am not. You wish i was. But you know.

You know.

I hate that "lore" has become the new "app" in that any info pertaining to a game that isn't gameplay related is called lore now.

You must not remember what the old MGS threads were like

I guess it's more accurate to call some of it fluff rather than lore. Lore is supposed to be backstory whereas fluff is more the details like "The reason there are stars on the american flag is to represent the individual states' and shit.
and that's literally the only bit of useful information I've learnt from /tg/

How does Ape Escape tie into all of this?

I had no idea monster hunter had lore.

FIRST YOU MUST FOLD SPACE FROM ISK.

ONLY THEN WILL YOU SEE PLANS WITHIN PLANS YOUNG ATREIDES.

I hate this so fucking much and have since I first saw it all those years ago.

Monster Hunter barely has a story, does it need "lore"? I'm lucky the people I introduce games to like gameplay and not story shit, even if they are normalfags.
