the game doesn't even look like particularly good. i'll take the visuals of that switch monster hunter over terrible performance any day.

I think people would have complained about the graphics had it been Switch-esq. Although I too like them more too.

I just want some fucking color and the ability to run the game at 60fps without a supercomputer.

Oh I get that. I haven't done AAA gaming in a hundred years, but I think perhaps if everything is drab it might be to counter the hyper-saturation that has taken over gaming for quite some time. I am not sure though. I know that one of the Monster Hunters was created with the intention of appealing to a Western audience. Making things look rather "grown" and I think that this game for the tiny bit I saw is a further extension of this. I can't say a thing about gameplay, but I think perhaps things are so disjointed because of this. Ultimately though, I am not an "active" gamer or in the community. I often wonder "what do people want nowadays!?" if everything is getting review bombed out the gate. I mean clearly people are mad, but I am not sure what could counter that.
