I don't think they truly understand their audience. Everything before the endgame is just a tutorial in MH. Yet, they usually ship the endgame with the DLC .

Then again, it sells anyways.

I don't know why, but I feel like Capcom is just going to offer more DLC instead.

Why do so many games have such broken, awful, undercooked end-games? It’s endemic.

They think it literally does not matter, and sales kinda reinforce this. The game was an enormous hit on release, but I think it gradually eats away at the faith of the customers as their experience falls to shit in the endgame where the rushed development is glaringly obvious. That's gotta add up and will eventually have an impact cause they sure as shit aren't learning the right lessons. Always remember the best outcome for the top deciders is the quickest biggest buck, and they will throw ANYTHING under the bus that challenges that. Especially thoughtful and rich game design which takes time and love to produce right.

It's Capcom, they have no intentions of "fixing it" or "turning it around" because the execs either don't care or no ones told them of the "overwhelmingly negative" reviews on steam. They'll just shut it down like they have previous games. They won't see it as people are not playing it because it's not good they'll just see it as people are not playing it so that must mean it's at it end of life so we should shut it down.

Compared to World and Rise? It's just not very good. It's by far the fewest hours I've put into a Monster Hunter game since... Well, literally ever.

It'll never happen, but more people ought to vote with their wallets or else this kind of thing will just keep happening.
