Monster Hunter Rise

As a base game MH it has arguably more content than base World had (unless you count time wasting RNG grind as content). I don't think it makes sense to compare it with Iceborne at this moment, which seems to be something that the people who play the game like it's a live service game do. Because if you do it will just repeat for future games, because you can 100% sure that the next MH base game release will have far less content than Rise + it's future expansion. Rise isn't getting treated differently than previous base MH games in that sense.

While stuff like the flagship monster pf basegame is just so outlandishly designed it pushes for a sense of disbelief. If you ever saw some gimmick crammed in as a design element in a platformer series (like vehicles) and it felt unnatural then I kinda get the same vibe from some of this game, that and the wirebugs and stuff, it feels like kinda lazy abstraction and I wasn’t going in expecting World but the pre-World games were a lot better aesthetically
