After playing this game (and getting kinda tired from aknowledging myself with megaten series) i got seriously interested in MH, but when i asked some of my mh-playing friends how i should get myself aknowledged with it, opinions were direct opposites of each other. One of them advised me to skip old-gens and get myself mhr, while the other one advised to play at least one game from each generation. So i hoped the root of my interest would also be my tiebreaker. Could you tell me your opinions, please? :s
Monster hunter is a large series. If anything, best game to welcome new players would be Monster Hunter World, since it is meant to be welcoming newer players. Monster hunter rise too but the controls might be too complicated for newcomers.
You dont really need to play the old gen since they are there as fun games with nostalgia like pokemon. And you dont need to know anything about the old gen since every new game is a new story, new hunter, and a new set of monsters with the occasional returning ones.
And dont worry too much about others opinions on games per generation. Just have fun with the new ones since that is how games are suppose to be. :)

Oh don't worry about the comparison. What I am saying is that whenever you start a monster hunter game, its always a new experience. And I am not saying skipping is bad. Always start with one thing, then if you like it, you can play the previous ones too.
Though I do warn you, all monster hunter games are at least about 100 hours worth of gameplay. That's why I don't recommend playing older games to beginners or new to the franchise. But regardless, I hope you enjoy your time playing Monster Hunter :D
