This is the second monster hunter game I've tried and I still don't "get" it. I feel like I should really like it, but then I play it and I get frustrated when despite limping a monster proves impossible to capture.

Am I missing something? I hated dark souls until I started playing the way it's supposed to be played, so I'm hopin g I'm just missing something here

Yeah this. Exhaustion has a lot of very visible tells like the monster panting, drooling, stumbling a lot and sometimes completely failing to execute its attacks (like trying to breath fire but just coughing). At first I thought this meant it was capturable but it's just exhausted. Limping is when the monster is capturable and it means it walks with a limp and makes retarded sounds. But it'll only limp when not actively attacking, usually you won't even be able to notice it limp until it flees to a new area. Try making Nerscylla armor or crafting perception gems to get the skill that flashes on your minimap when a monster can be captured, that'll save you from a big headache.

Really monster hunter clicks when you get to the point that there's a couple different weapons or armor you want to make so you're like " Ok I'll kill jaggi for this, kill zamtrios for this, kill tetuscabra for this, etc". It's more fun when you have a lot of stuff to aim for so you aren't grinding the same thing over and over.

maybe I thought he was limping. he went to the next room and I caught him sleeping and I figured that once I trapped him and used tranq bombs he must've regained some HP or some bullshit

also it sucks when they only give you 3 tranq bombs and one trap
