I just started playing it more today, and holy shit, is this game fucking easy. In past Monster Hunter games, you had to memorize the monster's patterns and wait for an opening to attack. If you simply spammed attack, your weapon would oftentimes bounce off the monster, or you'd be obliterated. In Monster Hunter World, you can just spam attack and dance around the monster while it initiates its attack without punishment. The player's speed has now been doubled since Generations, and the monsters haven't been upped enough to significantly counter it.
No more do you have to strategize when to use potions either since you don't have to halt and watch an animation to do so. You can just spam potions in the midst of your attack, ensuring there's never a moment when you're actually in danger.
Gathering is not important anymore outside of creating armor and weapons, so there's no urgency in terms of running out of items during a hunt. The item management element is completely gone.
I can't believe people say this is the best Monster Hunter. It's not a bad game but even Generations is a more satisfying game to play.
