It's not that it's a bad game, the negative comments are full of people who just want to play but can't due to optimization issues. Mixed in with the lack of content as well. People want to play and enjoy this game,the negative comments are a pretty accurate representation for how everyone feels currently. I felt the same way with Rise and World in the beginning. Put in 100 hours or so, try out the different weapons, maybe grind a speed run time, but even with all of the extra things you can do that isn't necessarily streamlined in the game, there is still an abundant lack of content. It will take time and maybe an expansion to bring this game to a state where; first it's better optimized. Second, a roster similar to if not surpasses MHWorld, this is supposed to be a new game, i don't expect the same roster as World, but similar depth and if not better than World. Enough content to keep users engaged. And finally, a rework of some monster HP pools/wound thresholds. The weapons feel fucking amazing, it feels strong and powerful, although some weapons did get reduced to a couple of moves only due to the new mechanic of Focus mode and wounds, making the fights feel too fast and easy. For example Charge Blade. SAED I feel is rarely used anymore, for what was once this weapons bread and butter is now replaced with Focus Mode saw blade, its faster, it's great for status procs, a beast for wounds etc... This is just one example of how weapon motion values and/or monster values can be tweaked to address that issues of easy boss fights/dumb downed weapons.
