A look into the MH community, from a new hunter

Discussion

So I, like many, many, many others, picked up on MH due to Wilds due to its critical acclaim and popularity, and due to how incredible the entire thing is, is now infected with the nagging want for more MH. Amazing games, amazing art, you know the story, you've all been there. But while the in game comradery seems to be flowing strong, outside? Good god.

I'm not a stranger to combative communities. Hell, I played Destiny 2 and Dead by Daylight, I'm a gladiator with seasoning, but a very vocal section of people are so BITTER. I'm at a shock that the only other community I've felt this unwelcome is the deep, dark parts of old Destiny 2 lfg, and if you've heard a LICK about that, you know very well what I'm talking about. Everybody is just so caught up on the old, on small things that don't matter, on the colour of a gold statue being slightly too yellow for them, it's madness.

So much negativity towards everything, I don't understand. The new game comes out to wide, critical success, and 50% of what I see here is just constant whining. "Too easy" they say, as they compare a base release to the omega mode death dragon that released for a game 1.5 years after its original launch. "Not enough content" they cry, 100 hours deep without all achievements and only 3 monster titles. I saw a good, GOOD amount of people legitimately disappointed that the update is what they showed the update was going to be. Like, there are two new monsters, an entire hub area, HOURS of content... This is a free update. Archtempered Rey dropping in a month? Good cause for negative discussion. The monetisation? Absolutely, it's not fair. The update...being a large chunk of new content? THAT is what I see the most discussion on, the large update not being large enough DESPITE THE FACT they were DEAD silent when the stream was on. Are we spoiled enough that we're upset they didn't drop an entire new monster (a BIG addition) as a secret? Are we disappointed that this wasn't in the main game? Because deadlines suck, that's how it is. You had to wait a month to get this, despite the fact the game was awesome beforehand, big whoop. You would be scream crying the amount of stuff that's trashed instead of being finished sometimes.

Like, I need somebody to have a calm, civil (BIG FEAT FOR A LOT OF YOU) discussion about why this community is so ready to fight. There's so, SO much bickering, you can't celebrate anything without somebody coming up to you and saying "errrrrrrm acctually in MH World, this thing that was added LONG after launch was 6x harder/better than this, therefore this is easy/fucking sucks". I didn't see egos this big in the souls community until Elden Ring. The souls community. God, please take a chill. What seems like 50% of you which I'm betting is 95%, keep on. Great. You're cool, feel free to hate Wilds, or hate anything while still being fine and cool about it. What seems like 50% which I assume is 5%, play another game or something man idk. Spoiled child.
