Thnink for a moment, how long it took you to farm some of the more rare monster derops, such as a Rathalos Plate....now make it EVEN MORE rare, and you have MH:O. It uses the Eastern MMO practice of micro-transactions to speed up progression (which they pray you will do since they lowered the drop rates). So the game is pay to win.
It is basically the same thing that Blizzard did with D3 when it first came out. They added an Auction House so to compensate they made drop rates insanely low.
Outside of looking the part of a MH game, it doesn't feel the part.
If you are a fan of MH, I would honestly say to skip this and get MH Generations instead. Sure the graphics aren't as pretty but it'll be a MUCH more solid MH experience as it is actually created by the main team. MH:O is outsourced and made by a team that hasn't worked on any other MH title.
