Gotta say, the way you just encounter new monster fights as part of the story instead of choosing a specific quest to hunt it is kinda annoying, as it means that unless I constantly check a walkthrough, I can't prep for fights properly by choosing the right weapon or armour set or stocking up on specific items.
It doesn't break the game as the fights are easy enough to just brute force my way through, but the prep aspect was always part of the Monster Hunter experience and I miss it here.
