Honestly, the most fun I ever had with the series was MH4U which never had a base game release in the West.
Unless you're getting it specifically to co-op with friends I don't think you'll miss out on much if you just wait for the expansion. You'll have more content right off the bat, probably some improvements to weapons and other mechanics, plus it'll cost you less overall.
I wanted to get it to play with friends but can’t recommend them getting it with how convoluted the coop is. Thought they would fix that problem from worlds
Yeah, it's very strange. Pretty sure they did fix it in Rise/Sunbreak so no idea why they've gone back to something more like the World system.
Apparently it does automatically invite everyone back into one party once the cutscene is over, but that's a pretty lazy fix compared to just changing how it works.
