Honestly, I begrudgingly play new MH titles. I love Monster Hunter, but this tactic Capcom has been playing of "Move the game down the list in power so we don't have to update the graphics" is getting old. It's been a PS2 game for over ten years.

Are the graphics still PS2 level? o~o Personally, part of why I quit the series was how clunky the games felt, perhaps they improved on it nowadays but the menus and how stuff was explained in older MH titles felt so clunky that it really turned me off from the series. I think the series needs a serious overhaul, if it did I'd definitely give the series another go. 

The games always felt great to me, I guess I overcame that "clunkiness". I do know what you're talking about, though- it's very awkward compared to traditional games.

 

And yeah, totally. Here's a sample of MH2(DOS) from PS2:

 

Compared to Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate:

 

Improvements are minimal (mostly only benefitting from higher resolutions). While I'm appreciative that they put function over form, I'm upset that they've completely ignored form for over a decade.
