It doesn't actually play like monster hunter at all, and Tri definitely has muddier textures. That's not to say PLA doesn't have its share of poor textures, they're definitely there.
The game itself doesn't play like Monster Hunter at all. Having a hub world doesn't a monster hunter game make, might as well say it's budget Super Mario 64. Even the quest structures are completely different, Monster Hunter's quests are pretty much invariably have you fighting the monsters while you can get through a lot of PLA without having to really fight any monsters.
You sound like someone that's really only ever played Monster Hunter Tri, and think every game is like it going off these comments. You couldn't even pick facial expressions in Tri, part of that is that Monster Hunter as a series has never been a story driven game.
I'm not saying Mario 64 invented the hub world, simply saying games using certain elements doesn't really make them similar. In terms of actually gameplay the roll is pretty much all they have in common. The game are fundamentally different.
Yeah monster hunter isn't a story driven game, the newer games simply added voice acting to what is essentially the same story the series has had since the beginning. Wilds is pretty much that you could say is sort orientated.
simply saying games using certain elements doesn't really make them similar.
So what if they copy those elements nearly 1:1?
In terms of actually gameplay the roll is pretty much all they have in common.
I like how you ignore all the other aspects of game design like quest design, level design, ui aspects, movement design to hyper focus on only 1 point because you know you're wrong but don't wanna admit it.
You can just admit you're wrong, nothing bad about that.
