The more I watch the trailer, the more I'm certain about how I don't like where they're taking this. Unlike Tri G, which I hated, then researched and fell in love with in a matter of hours, this game remains off-putting to me. The environment, while open-world, was VERY ugly. A lot of what makes MH so visually impressive on whatever console it's on comes from the way each area is split up into smaller, more detailed snippets, like you're getting the best feel for the environment possible. This feels barren and boring.

Not only that but things like platforming and riding on monsters don't really feel like they belong here. Platforming maybe, if there's a little rougher terrain. But like Loss said, this is not Dragon's Dogma, nor is it SotC. I don't like the riding of monsters and I doubt that'll ever grow on me. Every aspect of this trailer (The laziness, boring environments, monster riding, etc) left a very bad taste in my mouth and I reckon it'll take a lot to convince me to like this game.
