I totally agree with you.

They ruined MHFO and I actually like what they have done with MHO because it was taking MH from his old roots, excluding one or two flashy moves and the damage text (which can be disabled), the areas and Monster designs are serious and grim.

Something that you didn't mention, dunno if you dont care or you forgot, but the graphics are awful. MH3U for 3DS had amazing graphics, but MH4 and now this one have lame graphics, awful and too-colorful textures, bad animation and rough edges on the 3D models.

Gamers have lowered the game standards by saying that "Graphics don't matter when you have good gameplay", when you could have both. But hey wait! They still charge you $50 - $60 for "just mechanics".
