Saw the thread title, was excited because the series needed to advance and I could play it on PC. Watched the trailer, and meh. Doesn't look that good. The monsters lack the charm that they have in the main series. Hope MH5 innovates in a better, different way, and they don't use this as an excuse to stick with the PS2-era scope when this relatively bombs (and it will.)

They showed one monster and a bunch of underlings. There will clearly be much, much more.

I count four monsters in the trailer. Rathian, the (what I assume is) Great Jaggi, and glimpses of two others. The only thing exciting is the open-world, but I don't know how much that will enhance the monster hunter experience, rather than complement it (as a spinoff.) Not every game lends itself to open-world gameplay.  The zones are a crucial gameplay mechanic, but we'll have to see how they are accomodated for in this. 

I'll wait and see, but so far my first impressions aren't good.
