After her sudden and unexpected retirement, Japanese singer Maki Goto has been filling the hole in her heart by playing her Wii, Xbox and PSP. After beating "Monster Hunter"'s 999th level, she announced it to fans, who were shocked.
All day, every day, Maki is playing video games and it seems she doesn't have any friends, according to insiders. "She's got a lot of free time, and she should be practicing her music or acting."
But up until now, Maki's pride has been extremely high, as a former top idol. Around the same age as rival singer Sawajiri Erika, Maki has allowed herself to be consumed by video games.
"While I'm sure games are fun, playing all day, every day and being completely absorbed must be lonely."
Monster Hunter World is close to releasing, which means it’s no better time to reminisce and look back at some of the best Monster Hunter games that came before it.
Goomba Stomp: "In Japan, the Monster Hunter series is something of a legend. Every gamer worth their salt in Japan knows about Monster Hunter, as each new iteration in the franchise, is met with high critique and commercial success. However, this is not the case over here in the States. The first time I had ever even heard of the franchise was a preview for the series’ third installment, Monster Hunter Tri, in Nintendo Power. The idea of hunting giant beasts with an online team seemed like a really cool concept to me, especially when I learned of how well the series was received overseas. Little did I know that Tri would go on to become the single greatest experience I have ever had with an online multiplayer game."
It's like drugs, people who haven't try it looks at it like it's some kind of outlandish, weird thing they'll never understand why people are addicted to it. But once you try it, preferably with friends... suddenly you have 200 hours logged in in just a short time you'll never guess it's a capcom game.
too bad they chose to release it on a niche platform in the west, if only capcom has the brain to upgrade the graphic and release it on PS4/XB1 I'm willing to bet it'll be as huge as overwatch, only you won't be bored as fast.
Its funny because even though i know Generations is exactly the same as Monster Hunter 4, just with even less story and the addition of Arts, its still addicting as hell. There's just something about it. The preparation before going out to fight a particular monster is probably my favorite aspect of the games.
Knowing your enemy and what weapons, tools, and items to bring is something missing from a lot of games that is done really well in this series. That strategic feeling before the actuall nonstop action begins once you find the monster is unlike any other game that I've played.
With recent release of Monster Hunter Generations, Bit Cultures lists out our Top 10 Monsters from the series. From the terrifying to the hilariously named.
If I was rich and famous I'd do whatever the heck I wanted to and not give a rats ass about what anyone would think.
Keep on gaming lady, your living the dream.
I know alot of people on here can relate to this article.

Also I'll be her friend if she needs one, She can come round mine and play games anytime :p
If she doesn't want her life to fal apart, she should limit her gaming time, however, she doesn't have to give it up, just limit it to like 4 hours instead of the whole day.
