I actually powered thru 9S route and hated every part of it.
The mix of inferior melee combat, obligatory hacking mini-game and recycled content is one of the worst combos I've seen on an otherwise good game and the only good thing I got from it was being able to use my displeasure into some strips.
I also bought Monster Hunter World and killed some Jagras and Puki-Pukis. Using a Longsword for now but crafted a Puki Greatsword to try something different. My favorite part however is ordering food so I can see the cooking cats animation. The cats (I know they are called Palicos ok?) are probably my favorite part. I'm a easily pleased meowster.
