3U, aside from water combat, it is a decent game in general.
4U is a good game but fundamentally a tendie title. It has the best story and characters in any MonHun, if you care. There is a reason wilds is a massive cocksucker for 4U returning cast.
However, the game has fast shitmons that generally are dickheads. If you want a game to blaze through under 100 hours solo 4U will be a miserable first playthrough experience.
You will see a lot of anons and even normies trying out 4U and realizing it is not what they want. Even in this thread >>542324284 >>542324450 >>542325037
If you played GU then 4U will feel like a slight sidegrade. I played 4U very slowly (doing all caravan before anything else) and I'm glad that I did because the game clearly tried to be annoying more than it needed to. Like straight up dickhead. If you don't have patience, it is rage inducing.
