"and can be frustrating for players who are new to action games or parrying systems"

Man this some mental weakling cope, tells me the kind of ending they probably picked too (hint, it's the bad one, you know, for being mentally weak)

This game is here to challenge you, and if you can't handle it, lower the difficulty, but if you will let it it will ask the world if you and you will respond in kind, if you aren't a mental weakling

The core progression of iceborne/world was you grind for minmax, but you made do with what you had in the meantime

This game doesn't have any way to ask its players to stay awhile, so rightfully so people who like dropping hundreds of hours into your average monster hunter release are going to feel at a loss as the grind sucks and the builds are so simplified you don't even get to need to have a reason to go and play the game to experiment with new stuff, which manifested in a gameplay loop

Not to mention the last 6 title updates of iceborne were like 3 wyverns and 3 elder dragons

Not to doubly mention the apex 4 is not remotely as good as the fated 4

The rey dau suffers from what others have described with the barina, a monster whose attacks have such tight hitboxes you have to be trying to get hit to get hit, a problem most of the game suffers from

This has to be the most buggiest least playtestrd monster hunter release to date, but then maybe accessibility in the form of a game that hands you wins is probably why this game is gangbusters in sales, most mainstream audiences dont want to work towards earning feeling good, they're perfectly okay with being mediocre and being told they're special

The rathalos is always better though with every iteration so I guess that's a saving grace
