I have never seen a franchise that revolves around co-op so hard get multiplayer so wrong, so many times.

It's been 20 years, and every single time somehow Monster Hunters multiplayer system just gets more ridiculous every time. There have been improvements over the years but I think Wilds has the most overly complicated multiplayer I've ever seen in a game.

Wilds has....5 seperate systems and user interfaces to interacting socially with others. Open lobbies, Link Parties, Environment Links, Squads that you can pseudo interact with, and you can't join any of them openly without going through multiple sub systems. All of them are extremely annoying, and all of them are hidden. It took 10 hours of play, 3 people googling, and 3 days for us to see each other in lobby.

I love the game but GAT DAYUM.
