Look, I love Monster Hunter, and I know you don’t play it for the plot, but the storyline in this one is….. incoherent at best
The monster fighting is a lot of fun though!

“Hunter, here is a new land we know nothing about. Go discover things!”
Pacing is a bit crazy tho.
I might even argue I liked the story in fact.
Doesn't matter though, hit big monster with arrows or sword. Pew pew.
You can sprint through the story and it appears like only a few days pass at most, but I truly believe that the time inbetween/on hunts and events is closer to weeks or months.
"I went and slapped a monster, it took a couple minutes, and suddenly the rain has come!" is just terrible narrative structuring. The real time to game time flux is just very awkward in it's presentation, they don't address it well.
Just a minor gripe on the how it flows. I get HR is the game, but if you are gonna go for a story, at least ... Try? Lol
1)Walk to new area
2) Talk to 3 people in town
3)Kill the thing from the cutscene.
I'm unaware of any plot.
The idea is there, execution isn’t.
Except we’re not here for the execution of the story, but for the monsters
Just give me a good reason to kill this dinosaur. Say the word. That’s why I’m here, and we all know it.
(I have spent 40 hours on this game that came out a week ago)
And then your toon is like
“I’m gonna kill the big monster, by MY choice”
In game Hunter: give me the skymerald or your offspring will die-merald
They could report on 200K Ukrainian refugees we are about to deport
HHS could report on measles

The quality of life improvements are great, gathering items from distance, fast travel any time, crafting lists, etc. add in far less clunky combat and a less restrictive stamina gauge, and this is my favorite installment so far.
But yes, the story is… not its strong point.
10 minutes later when I was able to grappling hook gatherables from its back I realized the series can never go away from this ever
I love Dead Island 2 (actually better plot than first game), but it’s also fun to run around and kill
Zombies for fun
Monster Hunter has a plot?????
Is THAT the source of incoherence? They don't really know how to simultaneously condemn AND valorize the monster hunting?
Doesn’t really matter to me in the end though, I’m just here to hunt monster
Also can you be liason for all these people you didn't know existed? Tell them to get me shit"
