Monster Hunter Veteran tries out Wild Hearts

[@cwolfxuk-other]

It had so much potential. A different feel to the MH series (I am a veteran Hunter myself) but a lot of fun. Well, until they utterly broke the PC version then abandoned it.

[@elk3407]

No, it had 0 potential. It was made by Omega Force. The only path it could have ever taken is ending up broken and abandoned like many other games made by OF. It had potential if a different dev team was working on it, but as it was it was never going to end up as anything more then a broken abandoned game. I TOLD you all this would happen before it released, but nobody listened

[@Ypsila]

Guy above me clearly doesn't know what he's talking about. xD The game isn't broken, and they've had quite a few updates since it launched. The game never WAS broken to begin with. I bought and downloaded this game the day after it came out and it ran just fine. Never saw any glitches. Never saw any bugs. I wish this game was more popular, but it looks like the players abandoned this before the devs did. A unique take on Monster Hunter ruined by review bombing from people with shitty computers who said it "wasn't optimized." If it wasn't optimized, then why was I and many others able to play it just fine with no issues?

[@elk3407]

@@Ypsila With an r7 7700x and rtx 4070 I can't even run it at 1440p 60 fps unless I turn it to LOWEST SETTINGS. FOR A GAME THAT LOOKS LIKE IT CAME OUT IN 2016. That is just kind of annoying but I can work with it because I'm not a graphics or fps snob. But what is unacceptable is the stuttering where it locks up for half a second for no reason. Starfield is better optimized

[@cwolfxuk-other]

@Ypsila R9, 16gb 3080RTX, 32gb ddr4... game actually ran fine at launch, is now a stuttery mess following the patches. I do know what I am talking about, I have eyes! Thing is, as said, ran fine at the start for me. The game is a vastly different experience depending on the individual setups, that's bad optimisation, a port that likely retained 99% of the original console code.

[@mattyryon]

@@Ypsila You lying sack of crap the game barely runs for 90% of PC users regardless of hardware, two literal identical setups with 3080s once could be running at 100 fps and the other at 25-50. The game is a joke in the optimization department, especially in the latter half of the game

[@JustSomeMemes]

The game definitely exceeded expectations despite the issues and competition. Was also impressed by how suprisingly good the soundtrack was. If it doesn't get a sequel, this one will remain wild in our hearts. Also glad to see you're still cookin', Chillycat.

It may be a little and dumb detail, but I really like that the main character apologices to the monster when doing a final blow. I don't know the story here but I feel it goes with the theme from Monster Hunter that we are not hunting these creatures for sport. At least lore wise.

[@Chilluminati_]

Good work Tiger-Sensei. Game was fun, but it's one of those games where you beat the story, do the few end game things, then put it down. Not bad overall.

[@phinixspirit]

I played this game too and I finished it all willingly. As you said, it's not at monster hunter levels, even considering that MH has had many years to improve. Wild Hearts was like fresh air for the genre, the only problem was that it was run by EA, what happened with them ceasing support, I knew full well from day one that it was going to happen.

[@street_sharq]

The Bladed Wagasa is a cool weapon concept and unique. I really enjoyed the struggle of learning the parrying and mobility. Respect for that experience

[@RauschenPauli]

the lad has returned! personally the whole building gimmick sadly did not appeal to me and the overall designs also did not stick with me to the point that i actually would get it. it also does not help that rise and sunbreak somewhat came out with this. shame the support probably is gone for the game but i can kinda see why they pulled the plug. hope this will get a sequel tho since the devs seem to understand what game they want to make and what fanbase they want to appeal too.

[@valerius9751]

I said a month after release that the game was probably getting its funding cut off, and unfortunately that's what happened. I honestly enjoyed this as much (if not more) than Rise, solely because of the fun combat. The end game was not as fleshed out though obviously

[@Belgar]

A lot of potential, but the one thing I think is missing is someone (a studio) willing to keep it up. Monster Hunter is what it is because it's been going on for almost 20 years now. Wild Hearts already have a very good foundation, better even than Dauntless if I do say so myself. If only they can keep it up, build upon it, it has a lot of potential.

[@daniel070487]

MH veteran myself. I just bought this game and am 10 hrs in. It gave me a lot of headaches in game mechanics and how slow combat it. It really feels like a poorly optimized MH World clone to me. BUT, thats the first game i like its world setting, cutscenes and actual synchro. When i dont look at the tv and just listen to them taling, it feels like im watching a Naruto season, lol.

[@Lockstick026]

Played 250h of this game and I enjoyed it a lot. The weapons are all fun to use, the building system is great too but performance just ruins it sadly. I just hope they won't abandon the IP as it has so much potential.

[@bellystraw]

Hope they make a sequel, I wanted to love this game but when I played a lot of hunts lagged like a mofo (I play on xbox). Like I remember hunting the fire monkey and the game slowed down to a slideshow. It has some fantastic mechanics, weapons are fully fleshed out and awesome, karakuri feels so natural to the playstyle that it's crazy, monsters are varied and have cool movesets. They've got the foundation, now all we need is a sequel that truly makes it shine.

[@KrakenFury76]

I still put over a 1k hours into it, on console I had no issues and so so much fun.

[@ahmadbugshan9603]

I would say these are the fatal flaws with wildhearts 1. Optimization 2. Very grindy (at least for someone like me who uses a lot of weapons) 3. Hits feel a bit too underwhelming sometimes 4. Poor balancing for some weapons like they RUINED the clawblade so many times Its so sad they got so close to creating a amazing game

[@bielmfig4534]

The game was way cooler than I expected, there's only one problem, it recused to work after 7 hours of gameplay

[@soplam9555]

Its been close to a month now and Im at end game and the endgame Kemono rivals what Capcom did with their version of variants, they're super hard to solo and it keeps you on the grind to get and upgrade the best gear to beat them faster.

I enjoyed the game so much!!! I was a staff main!

[@filipemiguel08]

I bought this game incredibly cheap, had a good time until i started to check my cpu usage being sooo fired up to the limit that made me scared for my pc's life and yes the points on the optimization were super concerning until the support for the game was reported meaning all the effort for this game went to hell. I would only recommend this game on consoles if ya wanna play this solo and i do not recommend it to play with friends unless you got plus or xbox live. Shame but unfortunately Omega force did not deliver on its vision but still....i do wanna hope for a redemption.

[@thebuddah1253]

All this love and care and ea tossed it aside. These devs need to jump ship when they are able to.

[@Somebody374-bv8cd]

I was one of the few people who actually didn't have any issues with running this game on PC. For me personally, it wasn't the performance issues that drove me away since I had none - it was the fact that once you completed the story and defeated the final boss, the endgame just falls apart. Monster hunter world and the xpack, iceborne, had a great endgame loop where you got better and better gear with free updates with new monsters to fight. Wild hearts has you farming charms with extremely marginal benefits while the monsters get reskins that hit harder and are harder mechanically while the gear BARELY improves. Not to mention you have to repeatedly farm volatile monsters to just to unlock the ability to fight the deeply volatiles ONCE, then you have to farm the volatiles again to unlock it. I don't mind grinding in this genre, but when you feel extremely unrewarded for doing it, you lose interest, and you just stop playing. The karakuri is interesting enough, but there are so many bugs with placement that making the fusion karakuri becomes a chore. Weapon variety was low, although credit where credit's due, the bladed wagasa was very fun and pretty unique. Being able to customize your own camp and drop it anywhere on the map was a pretty nice touch, as was the ability to change and customize the way your travel around your own map with karakuri.

[@espada7997]

I tried to get into this game, something new and different from monster hunter but ultimately I just wasn't feeling it.

[@weismanwriter9426]

This game is by far the closest game we've ever gotten to a genuine Monster Hunter competitor. It was SO CLOSE to being as good, but the terrible pc optimization and total lack of support from the dev team caused its downfall. I really hope they make a 2nd one someday with much more support behind it. Wild Hearts 2 has potential to be a really great MH clone.

[@JesterNil]

Enjoyed exploring the maps, but it just got too difficult for me. Got to some tiger thing I think and just wasn't having fun.

[@Esty568]

I saved up for this game and bought it, because it just looked so awesome. It felt like MHWorld again. But then I started the game and it almost made my pc catch flames. It was so poorly optimized. I was looking up fixes desperatelly in the community, but nothing really made it playable on the long term. I hoped the developer at least puts out some stability patches before they completely abandon it, but it seems like it will never happen. Such a waste of an amazing game 😥

[@garylai363]

I put an OK amount of time in Wild Hearts. It was a really good first offering, but it doesn't seem like it's going to be getting a sequel or more updates. It's a shame because it has the foundations of being a really good game series, but just needed more time and iterations to make it more complete. It's never going to compete in terms of content with MH, but it offers a different take on the genre. My personal issues with the game revolve around the end game, and some of the weapon tuning. A lot of the weapons felt very clunky to use for me, and didn't feel good. Charge meters were long and tedious and releasing the big hits was frustrating when you missed. In terms of end game and builds, I felt the builds not satisfying to put together, and not enough options to work around. Talismen and skill percentages were arbitrary feeling, your build didn't feel impactful, there wasn't enough gear to chase. There's some other small things that I felt were a bit messy but all that stuff could've been improved over time and revisions. It's a bit of a shame that this game didn't get a chance to take off even before we get into the design details. I think EA flubbed the release without enough marketing budget and to this day still no demo. If you want to take a bite out of the MH market share, you can't just throw a new entry out there and ask $70/90 for it without letting people try it first.
