It was the first Gen man, so if you compare it to today's verisons of course it looks terrible. But remember that it was back over 6 years ago (I think 7) so ya have to think about when it first came out rather than later.

The mechanics that we have monster hunter today may have not existed during Gen 1 or wasn't avaible to the game yet.

Trust me, if it was that awful then the game wouldn't be here today. During its time it "was" a great game.

But hey, it is your opinion and you are entitle to what you say.
