I've Played Monster Hunter Wilds (Hands On Impressions)

I never took you for a Monster Hunter player Force! Glad to hear your take. Im stoked to spend 1000 hours in the demo.

[@MythicMagus]

Capcom did a ton of streams for the game during Gamescom too. For anyone who wants to see those they're up on the Monster Hunter Channel. Showing live, uncut gameplay and getting the game into the hands of people outside the company is what sells me on games these days and Wilds looks REALLY good.

[@LaserStorm117]

Amen. Imo, they were completely binge-worthy, but my opinion may be seen as biased bc MH is one of my favorite IPs. It was great to get to see several different mentalities of the developers: Playful, knowledgeable, dedicated and welcoming. There appeared to be almost no disconnect with them and their fans. I loved it. There will be plenty of redundancy through each stream, but that's they had new people in the audience each day.

[@brandonenke2680]

​​@@LaserStorm117 these days it's a god send to have a company be so open with gameplay and letting fans get their hands on it before release. Usually a good sign that they are happy with how the game came along and with how the final product will be on release. There's only a couple of AAA developers I have any kind of faith in anymore and Capcom has became one of them. I got introduced to the series 5 years ago on World and I loved it. Then I beat world and got into iceborne and was absolutely blown away with how much more content I got out of a 30$ dlc. Ever since then I'm a major Monster Hunter fan play 100s of hours into World/Borne and Rise/Break and it looks like I will continue to be with the next installment of the series looking as good as it does.

[@v.m.6549]

True that brother

[@LaserStorm117]

​@@brandonenke2680, Hell yeah, brother! We're happy to have you, and happy you love it so much! Capcom's developers are fantastic, though the business side of the leaders can leave a sour taste every once in a while. It is nice, though, that they enjoy doing long post-launch support, esp the free updates with new activities and seasonal events.

[@ZeeroDubs]

I personally enjoy the perspective of "non-veterans". World was my first MH game as well and thought i oht hundreds of hours in it and fell in love, I still struggle at times with the unique language and vernacular of the game. Listening to giga-veterans can be confusing at times lol

[@eddyram4932]

I been playing MH since the first one in PS2😂 and when World came out, I was telling everyone I could at work. I wanted all the people I knew to experience one of my favorite game franchises of all time. The best part was that World made a lot of things much better than it was before. Wilds is gonna be… wild😂

[@GForceIntel]

I thought world would be the monster hunter game I always wanted. Now this looks like it. The seamless map is enough to make it 10 times better.

[@jcruz2255]

I really hope we can create our character online before we get the game like Dragon's Dogma. It was kinda nice having our character ready to go once we boot up Wilds.

[@johnathanrhoades7751]

I just….I just want a public demo. This looks amazing. Playing through World and Generations Ultimate in the meantime

[@TheDryerNewt]

Anyone else notice the ticking sound in the video? I hear music some times

[@Mecheka]

You should play MH Rise before Wilds. Lots of additions to combat was done on that game and Iceborne. Yes, graphics are low and hunts are short, but the combat in Rise is really good

[@Kulgia]

I wonder if the demo is going to go public soon...

[@bobcharlie2337]

There are a lot of good additions in this game, the settings for us low vision/blind players could be a little more robust, but it's alright. The UI is difficult to get throw during combat. It could be better.

[@Akzerru]

Fun little extra info of which I am stoked about. The devs confirmed transmog, but also that you as a player can wear both the male and female armor regardless. The doshahuma armor he puts on in the start of the vid is the male variant.

[@YoutubeDictatorship2024]

You like dressing in womens clothes as a male and mens clothes as a woman? That’s called being a cross dresser

[@eddyram4932]

This is one of the biggest things that no one really talks about. Several of the armor sets have very distinct differences, and it’s gonna be dope to mix and match what looks best.

[@Mohgenstein]

@@KZbinDictatorship2024yeah I do. It’s funny to see a buff dude in skin tight armor.

[@Akzerru]

@@eddyram4932 indeed!

[@fatalexception3845]

Arguable, some of the female designs are very feminine and would look absolutely cringe on a buff dude. Some others cover the whole body and could look decent. But the bulk and thickness of the male variants give a superior air of power, of strength. What the male hero is supposed to exhude with his looks alone. But hey. It's the modern era. To each one their own.

[@wither5673]

Seamless transitions sounds cool but I would be fine with a loading screen in between biome zones if it means better performance of the game overall, maybe they could make it an option so you can pick?

[@asefasdf8503]

i wish it was out already god damn ive never been so excited for a game

[@voltaicburst4279]

I hope we can turn off the reticule for focus mode.. i'm just going to memorize where it is then turn it off, it will look way better that way. Also hope the other maps are better because i'm kinda already bored of that desert and i haven't even played yet.. something feels off i think they've revealed it a bit early compared to how they showcased world.

[@GrippeeTV]

Would’ve loved for you to talk about performance overall since this is using the same engine as DD2 and we all know how that game ran on PS5

[@Skyztamer]

I'm curious to see how useful weapon swapping will be in the late game and end game experience. Early should be fine as we don't really worry about builds yet. Although in past games in late game/end game content we build our sets with one weapon in mind in tandem with specific armor skills (and gem slots) to create a specific playstyle. Swapping just the weapon might not be ideal, like having a some of ice elemental attack gems on your armor and ice weapon, but you swapped to a fire weapon but still have the ice gems on your armor. Or you bring focus on your armor and swap to a weapon type mid fight that doesn't have a charged attack or meter to build up. Maybe the gearing in Wilds will be different, simplified, or balanced elsewhere to account for stuff like this to make weapon swapping a non-issue? Or maybe just creating a build with a single weapon in mind would still be better? Idk, just some theory crafting.

[@BlurredVision18]

GL, CB, and SA all benefit from the same phials, as well as Horn and Hammer for stun, as well as LS, DB, and IG with power uptime and sharpness, alternatively, just take a Bow or Bowgun with every weapon. The ammo will still do most the work.

[@BlueMoonFuzz]

I really hope they release I public demo later this year

[@dregnoff9361]

Damn fine Greatswording if u ask me Killing the lightning dragon is prolly how u can affect the forcast

[@jshtng78]

I hope that if we get into the game and there does happen to be a handful of surprise loading screens in the middle of the open world the people who discover them won't make a big deal about disappointment or being cheated. I also hope those people get dogpiled by everyone else if they try to blow it up out of proportion. Especially if they try to make a new meme out of it.

[@NateQDruen]

Force, my guy, I hope you see this. There is some sort of audio issue with all your videos for the past year or so. There's a really subtle high pitched clicking that happens at seemingly random intervals. I'm assuming it's unintentional and idk what is causing it but if you can find a way to fix it that would be awesome cuz I love ur videos but that minor audio glitch makes them borderline unwatchable. Thought it was my device but it doesn't happen on any other channels and it's on almost all of your videos. Been watching your stuff since the "Why I Quit Playing Diablo 3" video which was probably 10+ years ago now and Monster Hunter is my favorite videogame of all time so super hyped for your coverage of Wilds, have a good one dude!

[@saverx1775]

I hope that my friends and i can play the story "seamlessly" world and rise require you to start a quest and sight the monster then quit before you could invite friends and that was a huge turnoff for a few of my friends. So much so that they didn't even give the game a chance.

What do you mean? Focus mode is a targeting option that allows for special attacks on wounded zones, as well as redirecting attacks if you need to fine tune where you are aiming. It is meant to be a reliable tool when monsters have wounds, the only thing worth being concerned about, is how often wounds can be exploited.

[@unclebaba3463]

I'm gonna be honest with you, and I think you'll get it, if they made a game and they talked about the feature they added to help you land precision hits, and then they showed a bunch of times of it missing, it'd seem like a shitty mechanic
