Over the past few years, I've tried to get into Monster Hunter, but I just couldn't. There's so many gameplay redundancies that just don't need to be there. I LOVE how the game looks. I love how they designed the creatures, both visually and in their behaviours... But there's just so much that makes it as if the game doesn't want me to like it. I see the series as a huge waste of potential. They made this gigantic, sprawling world full of amazing creatures and yet they attached absolutely NO narrative to it. There's so little narrative here its sad. I'm not saying it should have some linear story attached to it, but there should be SOMETHING besides, "Hey, there's a non-human thing. Let's shove a sword up its ass" to motivate me to do something. Heck, it could go with an MMO type narrative that never ends, but it should at least give the player SOMETHING so that if people are like me and hate the gameplay, I can forgive it on a count of its story.
That's just a few issues I have with the series. Just my opinion though. If you love the MH series, good for you.
