I'm not a huge fan of an open world map after I realized most monsters can easily out run a hunter any time they want........worst thing is, monsters gets immuned to items like traps and flashbombs in the third generation, so there's not going to be much of an effect if you accidentally used a load of items on the monster earlier in the hunt.

In 3G, stun traps lasts less then a second on hungry Jho if it stepped on it for the second time. I don't see much of a stalling effect happening there if Jho can still see me and decides that I look a lot tastier then my felyne counterparts.
