What is the appeal of Monster Hunter games? - eviltoast

While researching good PSP games to play I found many posts about Monster Hunter Freedom Unite and other Monster Hunter games. They are beloved by the community but after doing some reading/watching it’s not clear to me what the appeal is. I would appreciate if someone could tell what the goal is and what you love about the game. Apparently they are very long games (I think I read 100 hours or something along those lines) which is really great if I can get into a single game for that long. Thank you!

    I love this style of game and still get on Phantasy Star Online and Diablo II (heavily modded) and slaughter those same monsters over and over… but I found the menu system of Monster Hunter World so frustrating that I gave up quickly. YMMV
