You have to respect Tri for what is was though

Tri was the first game imo to get the giant monster battles right. No other game before it has a giant monster battle that comes close to Jhen Mohran's, imo. MH2 definitely did alot of things but Tri also did a few things that were just as important. Tri was the game that updated the model of flying wyverns. It fixed things that were annoying in the older games like broken hitboxes. it also added and improved existing attacks of the weapon classes it had, and even though the monster list was small compared to previous games, it made it work and all the monsters of that game are memorable. Tri was enjoyable and definitely worth the price it was, atleast imo.
