People have tried to get me into Monster Hunter several times, with little success. There's just a lot of work involved.
Lots of crafting and farming, and once you're ready, the fight itself is a lot of work. It takes a long time due to large HP pools.
There are a zillion builds, and the story isn't exactly deep enough to engage me despite the shortcomings. To me, it's basically Elden Ring, but with the aspects I don't like turned to 11.
