I rarely review games...but I might as well do it for a freakin' Monster Hunter game. This game ain't perfect, and it's not my favorite (still 4U), but even with the flaws I still enjoy it.

I'll just go ahead and point out the stuff that bugs me the most...

1. Online, ALWAYS, ONLINE. Why? What the hell? I rarely play these games online, so why do I HAVE TO BE ONLINE WHEN SOLOING A QUEST? Not only that, but because it's always online, I can no longer pause a game mid-quest when alone.

2. The maps, they're fine, but...way too large...I'm okay with the loading screens finally being gone, but brings in a new issue-...

3. Monster AI, not only are they less aggresive, but...STOP RUNNING AWAY! Might as well call this Monster Hunter: Chasing Simulator. At least with the older games they stayed in the area and kept fighting. The issue is much worse in Coral Highlands, so much climbing...

4. The music...it's just....there.

5. Difficulty, I'm still in low rank, but I still heard that the game is very easy compared to other games. Then again they were also expecting this game to have G-Rank, lol. So far I haven't failed a quest at all, and the monsters die way too quickly sometimes. As for Tempered monsters, from what I've seen, aren't they just a more boring version of Hyper monsters? Ugh, Frenzied monsters may have not been perfect, but at least they were interesting. Hyper and Tempered monsters just seem like the same exact monster with higher attack. At least with Frenzied/Apex changed things up with inflicting the virus and Apex changing their movesets, hell, Apex Zinogre could even paralyze you. (that one caught me off-guard back then, lol)

Bonus: The Raths...they don't sound like the Raths anymore...wtf? They just sound like...generic monsters. Barroth doesn't even do his normal roar, he just...roars...Actually, the freakin' monsters roar too much, and they're all boring! Uragaan's new counterpart even does the same boring roar, instead of the roar that's followed by two jaw slams. At least Diablos still has his roar.

I'll still recommend this game obviously, but if you're wanting a more action-packed MH game then go for Generations Ultimate, at least that one has a giant robot. (or just get 4U, since that one was basically a prototype for World)
