I have 200 hrs in Freedom Unite, 250 hrs in 4U and about 90 hrs on MHW. I love them, warts and all. But I can't say I'll miss the tedious gathering or the zoned off maps. MHW introduced a lot of QoL improvements that everyone except the masochists should appreciate. Combat is a lot more three-dimensional and employs environments in a way a lot of us have always wanted.
I don't know what people are on about when they hate on scoutflies. Back in the olden days, you didn't "hunt" the monsters, you just went around each zone until you found it, paintballed it and memorized its route. There was no "hunting" or skill involved. Why would you want to waste space on paintballs? This is just plain old nostalgia talking.
I do agree that they should've added more armor and weapon diversity, though, but I guess it must've taken quite a bit of resources to create what we already have. Better to start small and test the waters than go all out and risk a massive (financial) failure.
