Every Monster Hunter Title Update Explained

If I find any mistakes/inaccuracies, I'll discuss them here.
- MHW:TU5 also added the Zirael Dual Blades as part of the Witcher 3 Collaboration
- Some corrections regarding AT Monsters
* AT Teostra does actually have a new move.
* AT Zorah's Fireball is not en entirely new move, but merely a powered up version of an existing one.
- While MHRise's Apex Monsters do not produce bespoke armor & weapons, their high rank materials are not entirely useless, as they are required for the upgrading of a single line of weapons.

Just wanted to clarify: regular Tempered monsters did not gain health from their base counterparts - only AT Elders did.
And monsters in the Guiding Lands had more HP naturally.

Part of me still believe that the reasons for base rise being lack of content were from Covid and the first time they use their RE engine to make their MH game. Great video btw ❤

AT Vaal Hazak and AT Nergigante were whole new experiences when they came out.

The pain.

Even if not every title update was “perfect” damn are they such a good system and a great model for gaming as a whole. The team releases a full complete functioning game, supports it for a year, and then brings it to an end. It never overstays its welcome, it doesn’t try to convince us to wait several months for the game to function. They do fix a few issues here and there and address some complaints but each of these games would have been complete without the title updates. Additionally, the benefits of title updates is that they benefit the content that they add. Allowing the team a bit more time to add to the mechanics and monsters they implement. Meaning, if Fatalis was in release Iceborne, it either would have delayed Iceborne a lot or wouldn’t have been the same experience. The more spread out timeline allows these games to be more than they would have been. More companies should copy this strategy.

The reason fatalits is such a good fight is because it is simple and clean in its mechanics, but incredibly difficult to actually pull off in practice because you need to be at the top of your game to take it down

-Gold Rathian (Sunbreak) also brought the new Skill Status Trigger, alongside Defiance (TU1)
-Silver Rathalos (Sunbreak) brought Element Exploit, which as a proper decoration Skill was completely new (not be confused with the Rampage Skill which orks slightly different even if it shares the name) (TU1)
-As far as I know, you CANT lose Slots in Qurious Weapon Crafting (TU1)
-As a general disregard, the Skill+ and Slots+ rolls don't exclude rolling other stuff in favor of the targeted things, rather having increased odds and cost management in favor of them (TU3 -Bonus Update)

TL;DR - Monster Hunter is the best game franchise ever.

They pour their heart and soul into these games, and really care about the community. And it really shows when you go boot up the game on launch and everything works.

LOVE seeing videos on real life production of the series like this! Thanks man, keep up the great work!

Came across this randomly while looking for information on Sunbreak's title updates and you delivered! This is the best, most comprehensive and crystal clear info video that gave me more than I asked for. Your way of narrative also a good plus so you gained a new subscriber here :D time to binge watching your videos about MH

The quality disparity between base rise updates and sunbreak's is crazy, we went from the most underwhelming bunch to what is probably the best set of post game updates in mh.

Huh, I actually didn't know World's TU's lasted that far. Extremely informative video!

I think it was absolute PERFECT to not announce Bazel. The biggest thing about Bazel is the abrupt nature of its design. You are just hunting like normal, and then a Bazel comes out of nowhere to disrupt your hunt.

Great work, keep it up!
Can’t wait for the sunbreak forbidden episode and more documentaries when MH6 releases.

Woahhh!! Guess I just found an hour-long MH documentary to watch 😃 Awesome! Thanks, Oceaniz 😊🙏

33:07 barring mixed sets with safi weapons and fatalis.
or some hyper specific glass canon setups that speedrunners use or using silver rathalos for an easier time doing elemental dps to alatreon. Yes it is peak.
And AT Velkhana and Namielle had some niche uses. Mostly their specific skills being better than their normal ones AT velk being SUPER goood at frostcraft as an example.

Very informative video.
Great work!

11:09 that corner'fuck' felt personal😂

Not a correction but a fun fact. All of the monsters for Sunbreak's title updates were in the game by the time flaming Espinas was added shown by dataminers looking through the games code.

Sunbreak have really greats title update and really cool monsters
