Monster Hunter has basically two tracks on mainline games: the more mechanically dense "mainline" games that improve/change incrementally and the more simple "gimmick" games that usually work sort of like testing grounds for new ideas that may or may not pan out. World is in the first camp

Uhh, World very much was not in the first camp, given that it was thoroughly dumbed down from contemporary mainline games (it released alongside GU, which was actually a traditional offering) and incorporated a bunch of new gimmicks that either abandoned series traditions or were transparent efforts to cash in on modern gaming trends to attract new players (like open worlds). World was very much a spin-off game that was trying new ideas to make the series more popular, which succeeded in doing so and has therefore defined the series' direction since.

It's since seen several years of updates and a major expansion that have reintroduced some of the difficulty of previous games and fine-tuned a lot of those new ideas to be a decent game, but calling it an incremental improvement on previous games is outright wrong. It changed almost everything other than the core gameplay concepts.

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is also selling for 20

MH3U was a WiiU exclusive. I'm guessing you mean GU?
