I really love Monster Hunter, and the fundamentals of Rise are about the best they've ever been in the series, but the game was unfinished at launch, and I think that Capcom deserve more flak and more attention given to that. The most recent update is pretty high quality, but it also feels half-baked to me, like it was thrown together in haste. There are spelling errors on quests, bugs with a quest showing up multiple times, the apex monster fights feel unfinished and boring and don't have any special gear associated with them.
The fact is that the game itself is great, I'm not denying that. I'm a big MH player and I think Rise is a great entry in terms of its fundamentals. But it is not OK to be releasing unfinished games like this, and I worry that the more that a company gets away with this sort of thing, the more encouragement there is to cut corners next time around even worse.
