It's not a crime for us to point out that the graphics look like shit, especially when they do.

If bloom lighting makes things look smoother and better than why get rid of it?

You don't need to compare the games monster for monster, environment for environment to see very plainly that MH4 does not look better than MH3U.

Graphics tend not to impede an MH fan's decision to buy an MH game. If that were the case then back in 2010, we'd all have been off playing graphical kings like God of War III or Battlefield BC2 while MH3 rotted on store shelves.

I myself make a very strict point of making any MH4 or MH3U 3DS video on youtube 240p (the resolution of the 3DS screen) and popping out and resizing the video to the size of a 3DS screen when I watch it. The only thing that MH4 has that improves the look is depth of field. Textures are simple and muddy regardless of the resolution, my friend.

It's okay to admit that the graphics ae not up to what most of us were probably expecting. The game will still be fun and we'll all be happy with it.
