Hunt times nearly tripling because you refuse to fucking clutch claw wallbang every single available opening and the monsters having grossly inflated HP and defense values that borders on fucking Apex numbers in 4U that can only be resolved by {Gimmick} isn't fucking fun, nor is it hunting the monster because instead you're fighting the fucking game itself instead.
Making every weapon as irritatingly complex as Charge Blade used to be and doping the monsters so that the only feasible way you can enjoy fighting them is by playing the way the GAME wants you to and it actively fucking punishing you for not doing so is the hallmark of game devs huffing their own colons and no longer caring about making a game that their playerbase will actively enjoy. But you don't need any more evidence that this is fact considering the team keeps shoving unskippable story faggotry down everyone's throats despite it being the number one criticism from both World and Wilds, and they have actively commented that it's the new direction moving forward no matter what.
