Shit performance aside, the game has huge fundemental isssues
>Easy as piss with monsters that die incredibly fast for 90% of the current game, focus mode absolutely broken
>Beyond that, everything is piss easy to craft due to a combination of bountiful resources and very simple recipes
>Incredibly obnoxious story that substitutes unskippable custscenes for unskippable walking segments, making it utterly unplayable for co-op despite the devs *PROMISING* not do to that again
>"Open world" segments are incredibly wasted, as you actually have barely any freedom and the game will outright say you're unauthorized to hunt something and will not give you rewards (sans carves for it)
This is especially obnoxious in HR because it does this for the apexes, even though they're RIGHT FUCKING THERE. WHY EVEN HAVE THEM FUCKING SHOW UP?
>Setbuilding stolen right from world, aka it's super shitty, boring and limited, while taking skills from risebreak and making them worse/less functional/more limited
the new rng charms seem to be somewhat alleviating this, but it's still a shit foundation with rng decos and set bonus exclusives
>Game is incredibly ugly, with poor art direction and rife with graphical bugs that come from REengine
>Seikrets are shittier palamutes that frequently make traversing even more of a hassle because of all the fixed paths, the fact that you can't jump off certain ledges without them (fucking WHY?), and the way your hunter takes 5 seconds to clamber on to them and scrambles all over when doing so
>ATs are once again barely different monsters with reskinned armor, that for some reason take an extra fucking month to come out. They learned nothing from risen kino.
I got to the point where I regret even buying the game. It's just not fun, it doesn't run well, it doesn't look good, the tacked-on live service slop ironically makes me want to play even less. I haven't booted up the game since TU1, and I fully expect omega to be a dogshit fight.
