Unfortunately this is what happens when all the cool offensive skills get restricted to weapons.

Meta will always be meta so builds are bound to be similar to each other, it was the case with the older games as well, but at least before the skills were spread up between different armor pieces so the different classes used different things. Not so much anymore.

Curiously I feel like even at HR the current pieces are way overstacked with skills and slots compared to say base Rise.

(a rant)

Even compared to base World
shoot, compared to base any high rank except maybe MH:Generations, but they gave the late game a long but focused set of stuff to grind for.
And that games deviant monsters hit like trucks

And you had gear that was good but you didnt end up god tier by armor skills alone by the end of base high rank.

I feel like our hunters are over tuned by miles yet again, but it seems the majority of monsters arent made to deal with out new moves at all.
all except the Arkveld, and Gore

So much is working in our favor that a lot of the wins hardly feel earned, meta build or not, your basically bullying the monsters for the hunt until they stop moving and win-rinse-repeat.

I was originally in the camp of "Its just another case of people complaining game-to-easy only cause they got good in the previous title" but im really thinking this time around the amount of things that became conveniences for the sake of turning hunts into casual boss rushes is kinda messed with the Monster Hunter Formula.

I would like to say at least the game looks pretty, which it can! but with the current performance issues too (ARHG) I can't get good screen caps or recordings AND play at a decent fps without turning things down and using FSR frame gen as well as some mods to make the game work better.

(on a RTX 3070, this shit is only last gen hardware, its like 5 years old tops)
Super sampling being a requirement makes this game naturally look a little worse then MH:World on my system, and I can run that game 60+FPS on highest settings no matter what.
