I’m relieved that the Rise era will finally be over, and I’m excited to hear about Monster Hunter 6 sometime in the next few months, but I’m also a bit worried.
Hopefully they’ll bring back slower, weightier gameplay, get rid of all of the counters and anime power fantasy moves, and incorporate more hunting into the next entry. Since World was so well received (and sold so well), I’m cautiously optimistic that MH6 will be a return to form for the series.
Even so, I’m a bit worried that Capcom will continue to court causal button-mashing action gamers at the expense of the core fans of the series, and I’m also quite worried that Capcom will go even further with their unwelcome monetization of an already full-price game to the extent that I’ll have to boycott the title, though hopefully it won’t come to that.

TL;DR: relieved and cautiously optimistic
