My point was never that Rise wasn't incomplete at launch, just that World also launched in an extremely sorry state. This was a feeling echoed by a lot of old time fans used to the amount of content that we used to get in MH games on launch. It wasn't exactly Tri levels of bad, but the feeling of cut content and making it to the end with a sense of "that's it?" was a widely shared sentiment at the time of its release.
Unfortunately, as much as I love generations, we can point to that one as the game starting the trend of no longer receiving the "Ultimate" editions on launch in the US
