Monster Hunter joins games in complete vestigiality of their own systems. In trying to make the game more "fun" and movesets more complicated, it streamlines gathering, sharpening, any kind of resource management, planning around the hunts with item needs and even variety of gameplay in any meaningful sense into oblivion, leaving an admitedly entertaining multiplayer character action game, with none of the strategic depth and slow methodical approach and somewhat lowfi charm that birthed and sustained the series more or less up until world.
Games are a victim of comfortable player bases
