You're right but I still think the series had to evolve past the loading screens. World and Wilds do a good job of creating general scale but imagination & loading screens do an insane amount of heavy lifting that just can't be replicated in a game that wants to let you actually run the distance seamlessly without most of your hunt time being monster chase time, something Rise and now Wilds are adamantly against (Think too many people got lost in Ancient Forest and it fucked up the dev team)
