Just a bad japanese arcade machine based game wrapped into a MMO.

Never played monster hunter games but as far as i played , it was insanely boring.
The gameplay seems to be heavily influenced by japanese arcades and overall korean MMO's.

I started everything was just being automated to a point i felt i was doing hardly anything at all , the overall UI design and the controls and pop ups was nothing short of obnoxious with barely a tutorial with menu's in menu's , literally as in playing in a arcade as the hunt could be as engaging as playing a automated mobile game where you just get guided to with zero effort to be showcased 50 flashy effects to pretend you are doing anything at all.

The obnoxiously long hunt is just about calling a SOS to not need to hit weak spots for 30 minutes straight for how boring it is to then just take some scales and resources from the defeated monster to be 0.001% stronger craft some gear and upgrade to do it all over again untill you meet the end as nice looking fluid heavy animations and particle effects are literally the only thing that makes this half as interesting to look at while it runs poorly.

5.5/10 , if i wanted to play this i would install black desert.

Ngl, I kind of felt that it felt like an auto game as an old time player as well.
Doubt you're the only one who experience this.

Well .. unfortunately , it did not convince me to ever play another monster hunter game ever again.

older MH games were not as simple/ez as modern ones (since world)

1-4 were best of bunch even if visually not greatest.

Generations on handheld started getting "easier" and world & after was much changed for ease of entry to appeal to a larger audience (which worked)

The hunts can be long or short depending on your skill & knowledge of monster you are hunting. (in worlds some people took 30+min to kill a nergigante yet if you know what you are doing you can kill it in under 5)

While I do not like rise/wilds as much as world and especially earleir ones MH as a whole is best time sink for players who enjoy hunting monsters (and ofc the true end game fashion)
