When they shot it with the paintball in the cutscene it felt like the game was saying "don't worry, Monster Hunter is still here"

Right? That was such a great scene. I really enjoyed the story, especially the characters, but let’s be honest. I don’t play MH for the story, as heroic as it may be. I’m here to unleash genocide across the land so I can dress my kitty in cute clothing.

I get what you’re saying but I think that’s pretty reductive of the work they put in. I was captivated by the story the entire time. I really enjoyed the characters and talked to everyone, even the minor ones. I was very immersed and that, in my opinion, deserves praise. Never thought I’d care about a MH story (other than 4U, which this is tied to anyway), but here we are.

I so much miss the times when paintballs were indispensable tools of the hunt. What function do they even serve in this game? I can't really figure out the utility of paintballs in any of the last three games but then again I haven't spent much time trying.
