It actually starts with an unexpectedly good character creator but everything after that is just the worst thing you can do when starting a game.
Incredibly generic story and dialogue that is unskippable, a random and redundant "gameplay setpiece" that doesn't suit the controls at all, a bollocks load of pop-up tutorial boxes that you can't mash through because they ask you every time if you really want to exit them, a 2D map with unindentifiable symbols spammed all over it, utterly bad menus, a forced walking section, running around a generic jungle map for 3 minutes to finally fight monsters for 15 seconds and back to tutorial town again. I honestly do not know where to start and stop.
But of course, what the fuck is this online system? Not only are the menu's unintuitive as hell and not only is the set-up horrendous, worst of all there are absolutely no in-game explanations as to why it doesn't work and what you should do to actually make it work. And like, expeditions only have a work-around-way of going together online? I honestly don't know because the game doesn't tell me and it just doesn't work easily and intuitively.
This is my first Monster Hunter game by the way and I'm not quite sure how this game/seriers has been such a huge success with this bad of an introduction but yeah. This is like Skyward Sword on steroids.
