This one is supposed to have less endgame content than 4U, but who actually plays these things long enough to get there? I had a fine time hunting dinosaurs until I got tired. Isn't that all you need from a Monster Hunter game? 3U was my first foray into the series before the slow pace, general clunk, and gathering quests turned me off of it. This one had slightly better quality of life features, online play, and a couple of fun new weapons to try. This adds up to make it a better experience overall, even if I don't ever expect to become a Monster Hunter diehard.
