Monster Hunter Wilds - Hunting Has Changed FOREVER - Full Beta Review After 50 Hours...

[@RageGamingVideos]

I know performance is a contentious issue currently with different experiences across a multitude of systems but as I say in the video until February we have no way to know how its actually going to be, Capcom are very aware what's happening and there's no reason not to have faith in what they've said about the performance of the current version that's way ahead of what we played.

[@Xikishi]

@@RageGamingVideos honestly performance was good for me at least there were 100 players in lobbies if there were not so many performance might have been better. Also did you see the data mine someone did during the beta?

[@tom8636]

yea luckily i have a top notch pc but for all my friends i usually play with, they have mid range pcs and can play most other games but were unable to play the demo at all it was rough and soured their taste for the full release, i do hope pc gets a 2nd demo on a newer build of the game to take those thoughts away from the 1000s who were unable to play because i want this game to do well the demo was so fun.

[@_ScarCrow]

My friend were fighting Big boxes it look funny but a bit sad tbh, hes looking towards buying a new graphicscard but its a bit sad he has to do that because he Can play all other games decently

[@MichaelWilliams-lk7bk]

I wouldn't say all 14 weapons feel better I prefer the charge blade of world and iceborne. I felt it wasn't as nice on wilds I could possibly be proven wrong when skills come out. I feel the amped discharge before the sead is a wast of power so to get full power you need to stand there like a lemon yelling hit me to get it off the block. I also prefer to be able to crack out savege axe mode when I want to rather than when I have wounded them enough or do a block yet again. Still going to be getting the game as I can always go back to world if needed.

[@randomdude4505]

​@@MichaelWilliams-lk7bkCB was my main in my first playthrough of World and I agree. DB also felt lacking after Iceborn and Rise/Sunbreak. I also felt that the range adjustment to LBG was overdone and GS was under powered compared to Hammer. I was getting hammer hits of 124 and GS hits of only 129. Even with the focus mode making it easier to land TCS, it still takes longer than whatever the big hammer move is called.

[@moistwindow6094]

This beta felt like the closest realization of actually going out and hunting, the feeling of someone in the camp spreading the news of the monsters that have been sighted, going out and hunting a monster, seperating it from the pack or luring out a single member, going out to explore and gather recources, it was all just so beautiful and exciting and most importantly addicting, utilizing the ability to use 2 weapons and figuring out when to use them and which ones would be better with which monster, it just all felt so good, i am beyond excited for the full release Very few games still get my full trust, but monster hunter continues to earn it

[@tarlaihope]

The funny thing is the beta is like barely anything from the actual full game. The full game will have so much content we haven't seen yet and also it will be much more optimized. Almost forgot the fact that they will probably make a dlc with the G rank quest difficulty.

[@josefernandez4423]

and it's just 1 map. we have 2 more confirmed maps and maybe more, possibly 5 locales. we will spend countless hours in this game.

[@Rain1]

Only thing is though, they got rid of the tracking part. Unless it's going to be in the full game, and they just got rid of it for for now to streamline the beta experience. As of right now you just set up waypoint hop on your chicken and go straight to the monster knowing where it is on the map

[@WIILP3450]

I adored my time with the beta and I PRAY TO GOD they optimize the game better in the next 4 months!

[@michaelbailey1242]

The build for the beta was also reportedly branched from the full game 4-6 months ago, so the full game is likely already much more optimized than the beta version

[@Rain1]

That's my problem. The graphics aren't good enough to warrant how bad the FPS is at 1080p.

[@ilikecookies230]

@@Rain1 it more the cpu T.T RE engine has a massive cpu bottleneck problem, like in dragon's dogma 2, that had some CPU issues (still does but its a little better) during launch, if i was a betting man, monster hunter will launch with cpu bottle neck issues, but at the VERY LEAST the network held up with 100 player lobbies and only 16 hunters on screen in the village. still excited though, its monster hunter and I pushed through DD2 on launch, I'm gonna be fine come launch but my game is gonna look like mud and im fine with that T.T

In video themselves even said that you shouldn't run frame generation unless the game is already natively hitting 60 FPS cuz it's going to look bad. And I'll be completely honest, I'll probably buy it because I want to play the game. I'm just sad how the optimization is

There are a lot of videos out there now with top of the line rigs, best setups you can get running into CPU bottlenecking. I do hope they fix that after the beta.

[@d.b.hemlock]

Wounds in multi-player absolutely need to be addressed. Some weapons utilize wounds to get further into their mechanics (CB, IG, HH etc.) meanwhile others use it for purely more damage. In multi-player it feels like a fight and struggle against your fellow hunters to see who gets to pop the wounds. Or flat out some weapons can pop multiple wounds at once. Like the Bow. It makes it a nightmare to fight for a wound, ignoring what the monster is doing racing against your teammates to try to get there first. I recommended in the survey they make wounds only appear to the hunter who created them for a set amount of time, before becoming available for the entire party. Or simply make wounds more frequent to spawn. Other issues would be such as IG button mapping is atrocious on controller. Not everyone plays M&K or has access to gyro. Button mapping across the board feels slightly janky. I'm sure a lot of it is old muscle memory causing issues learning something new, but a few changes could be made to make it easier. Sound seems to be off. I know it's just the beta, but weapon sounds don't sound like they have weight behind them. Even monster roars sounded a little lackluster and high pitched. A few minor changes, I'd like to see more physique sliders in the character customization. You can spend hours perfecting your face, but you only get the choice between bulky or thin for body is kinda a let down. All in all a few changes and tweaks would polish it up quite a bit. I have over 3000 hours in MHW Iceborne on just my main account, I look forward to putting thousands of hours into Wilds as well.

[@geo_101]

I think this will have to be like moves that throw/knock down players where you just learn multiplayer manners and don't do them when teammates are nearby. Manners gonna be important again. If your weapon does not fill gauge/meter/etc via wounds and someone in your party does, leave the wound to them. Priority to CB, IG, HH, LS, SA, and maybe DB for sure. With insect glaive probably needing it the most.

[@JustAFishBeingAFish]

Super off topic but I loved the wilds demo and I enjoyed rise. Should I get worlds?

[@Scorptice]

sounds like a skill issue

[@geo_101]

@@JustAFishBeingAFish If you're looking for something closer to wilds than rise was, go for it! The iceborne clutch claw metagame is a bit stale and a handful of the late game monsters have 1 hit KO moves, but overall it's a really fun game. No mounts until you get later into the iceborne content though, and they auto-travel only.

[@DRAG0NSPIRIT10]

@@JustAFishBeingAFish Definitely. Traversing the maps in World/Iceborne will be a little slow at first, since the mount system wasn't added yet (well it did get added in Iceborne but it wasn't that good), but once you unlock the other base camps that'll make getting around a lot easier. Other than that the game is still great to play even now.

In terms of game performance, it’s not just 6+ year old builds that are majorly struggling with the game. I’m running a 3070ti and it is struggling to hold around 30fps on optimized low - medium settings and I’m still getting playdough monsters. Yeah I can understand that most of the community probably should upgrade by this point, but that still doesn’t change the fact that the game shouldn’t only be playable on higher end 40 series cards. It is essentially turning a $70 game into a $700+ game if you’re only upgrading your GPU alone to run it.

[@Mostbaleia]

The same thing happened with world and no one is talking about. Capcom pushed the limits of current gen and people are whining cause they have 5+ years old hardware. People without SSD, and 4gb GPUs are just cooked.

[@ravekiller.]

This game runs and looks like doodoo on my ps5. I’d be interested to see this and wukong run the on ps5 pro, but that doesn’t justify the price of the console imo

[@Rill_1]

​@Akant0r9 50 FPS on high is kinda unacceptable on new hardware, for a game that looks like this. The graphics are good, but it runs worse than Ray traced cyberpunk

[@Nickademus77]

The rig argument is a little off. Most modern titles seem to run fine on my gaming rigs, but the more egregious part is that people just can't really afford to upgrade anymore. Everything is too expensive.

[@AnacreonSchoolbagsJr]

Yeah, I can't afford a $400 gfx card right now. Times are hard, work is scarce and it looks like the situation is going to do the opposite of improvement before the Wilds release.

@@AnacreonSchoolbagsJr only $400? I was looking a few weeks ago, and the only things that are a worth while upgrade for my 1070ti are running $1000+. It's sad how expensive it is to get something that is not obsolete next year.

[@r863sa]

​@@zenthorth4874 I suppose that depends on what you consider worthwhile, an upgrade to a 4060 from a 1070Ti is 300, and is around 50% faster (with gains ranging from 30-50 frames in the 1080p game testing I saw), and there are way better cards obviously that are still less than 1000. Like you said, it won't age particularly well, but the upgrades are definitely there for you, and it'll get you access to DLSS and all the new shit that's sadly becoming the expectation by game studios who don't want to bother optimizing anymore.

[@Mirranda096]

​@@zenthorth4874to reiterate what the person above me said, even if on paper the specs of the newer cards seem worse or not an upgrade, look at a performance review site and directly compare them. Even a 4060 is a massive increase over a 1070.

Coming from someone who uses all the weapons, one big issue I have is the changes to the insect glaive. Now it's not taking away the ability to fly, even though that was a core feature of the weapon...but the new combo's requiring you to claw your controller to do them efficiently. Now a controller with paddles can help this issue, but if you don't have that type of controller the weapon is honestly going to be a struggle to play effectively. Other then that...I loved the beta, and am completely ecstatic to play it fully!!!

[@desaranfenrir9295]

Trying to sweep the performance issues under the rug by criticizing players pc upgrades is a cringe take. When 60 fps is basically locked behind 4070 or higher, there is a problem with the game's optimization. The game is not so graphically intense to warrant the pc demands it has. We played in a barren desert in the beta.

[@gavinw1184]

Yeah, the performance of the beta was just straight up bad. Luckily there are still plenty of reasons to have faith. The biggest one is that capcom themselves said that the beta build is pretty far behind when it comes to optimization.

[@FalafelPlease]

Performance is so bad it's probably the worst optimized game of the past 5 years

[@r863sa]

It was more CPU bottle-necked than GPU to be fair, like I was running 50-60 on my 3060Ti at 1440p, so upgrading to a 4070 or just having one wouldn't really help much for most people. But considering that's a part that most people upgrading will have to replace half their system to upgrade (CPU, mobo, and upgrade to DDR5 RAM) due to AMD just swapping to AM5 and Intel always changing socket every 2 years cause they're assholes... still a huge problem.

[@Mirranda096]

I've got a 5800x3d and 6900xt (3080 Super equivalent), and I was running at 1440uw with an average of 90 fps at max settings. I don't think it's as bad as people are flaming it. Yes my system is above average, but I also played it on my PS5 too and there's a definite performance difference between the systems, but it was massively improved over the gamescom footage and was completely playable as it was. Turning off motion blur on the console made a huge difference too for no real loss of experience.

My hope is that the final release runs on at least 1080p60 native without any framegen fakery on PS5 equivalent hardware A game where timing matters so much really benefits from the smoothness and capcom itself recommending people to play on 30fps interpolated won't do the game any favors for how sluggish that feels. You shouldn't be using framegen until you get native 60

[@atomicbomb1248]

Am I the only one who didn't really like focus mode? From my admittedly pretty limited hunting, the only downsides to just holding down the button when holding your weapon is the slight zoom in, and you might move a bit slower. The upsides to holding the button down, on the other hand, are numerous. You can see the wounds easier, you deal more damage to wounds, you get more a move dedicated to wounds, and most annoyingly, it seems like the only way to turn your hunter in the middle of a combo, besides some slight help from WASD on some weapons. The last point is really my main gripe as a sword and shield main, as they took away the spiral slash, so the only way to re aim is to hold down the focus button. I'm just not a fan of just having to hold down the button to even aim. I think I would honestly okay with the mode if the ability to aim was just on all the time without focus mode, while leaving all the wound related stuff connected to focus mode. That would make focus mode more specific to wounds, which makes more sense to me. The aiming part of focus mode just seems tacked on for me, so that more people would be almost forced to use the new feature for basic control. Other than this one gripe, I feel that wilds has basically improved across the board over world, with very interesting reworks (especially bow and longsword), more open feel, great visuals, etc.

[@apersonthatis7007]

Hitstun is something incredibly important for combat immersion, I hope they fix that for most of the weapons. I wasn't able to enjoy Rise much because of the sheer lack of hitstun for weapons I played

Just make a lobby with a password if you don’t want to see 100 people, or just make a lobby that only 16 people can join in. I’m more than sure you’ll be able to do that in the full game. Leave my 100 lobbies alone 😂 you know how easy it is to join in a quest with a lobby of a hundred. World can only have a max of 4 quests per filled in Lobby per filled quest in the “16 player lobbies”. Now since it’s 100 in Wilds…I’m not about to divide all that so I’m pulling out the calc. …and it’s a total of 25 quests per full lobby with filled in quests.

@ and I was talking about the minimum of quests being able to be posted, so they’ll have to be 25 people posting their quest and the other 3 joining each 25 to make up 100 while the minimum of world would be 4 people posting their quests with the other 3 joining in each so it’ll make a total of 16 if you didn’t get what I meant. I’m pretty good at everything with math, just not division 😅 and nothings wrong with that. Who’s dividing in the real world anyways.

[@Tentaculat]

Beta was great but performance on PC was very, very bad. I'm glad I didn't preorder since I doubt it'll be fixed by release. I got World on release and performance was equally horrible. It took them years to fix it. Some people say it was terrible until they removed Denuvo and the game "magically" started to run great. Wilds will have several anti piracy services running, not just Denuvo. Other than that the game felt great, but the lack of hitstop is extremely noticiable.

On the point of the multiplayer lobbies, i was fighting Rey Dau and had gotten him down really low when all of the sudden a bunch of people started joining the hunt out of no where, when I hadn't fired an SOS or anything and they managed to not only ruin my fun of the solo hunt but also managed to fail the quest with all three managing to die from a few attacks, and I was just speechless. I genuinely hate the fact that because of the lobby system I can't just hunt something by myself without someone potentially joining in without my permission.

[@vultar9999]

You could set the max players on a hunt, but it was hidden in the quest settings. Basically, you needed to go to Alma, then settings, then turn the number of hunters down to 1. The only good thing is that it was a permanent setting so once you set it you were good.

you don't have to own a high end pc to know that the game runs badly, just watch benchmarks on KZbin with different hardware, it's objectively bad, with that said we still have 4 months until release for the game itself i'm really conflicted on, i liked a lot of changes, but some decisions i really can't enjoy at all, i thought i'm alone on this but a lot of ppl shares my disappointment with the game, mainly 2 things, the lesser emphasis on the hunting experience in favor of more fighting by reducing and or straight out removing preparation and tracking, adding easy sharpening and healing, fast travel mid combat..ect and the new direction of more flowy combat and the ease of movement in the expense of the risks/rewards and consequences in fights like older titles

[@toospooky5929]

It isn't just 6 year old PCs that can't play it. Frame gen is required to get 60fps at 1080p (upscaled from 720p with DLSS) on something like a 4070S. That is an up to date upper-mid range card. The performance is inexcusable. Stop being okay with Capcom's laziness.

[@quinny720]

It was a rough, flawed experience but I still loved every second of it.

[@VelkhanaTheIceborneWyvern]

That's the best way to describe my experience as well

[@Monsoonasaurus]

I was trying so hard to have the minimal amount of fun, lol. And I still had a blast. Lots of beating up on poor Chatacabra to try out all the weapons, and only playing a select few up through the various monsters. Even if there is not demo, which I would be fine with at this point, i'm in, i'm ready I want to go ahead and pre-order. Side Note: My favorite little detail was a post hunt scene with my palico that mimicked World where you give them a sausage, but then the seikret sneaks up behind them and steals it in one gulp. It was a great call back!

[@xboxbam3979]

Just FYI for those that didn't try it. You can use the "link-party" mode to link up with friends, then use an "environment link" to all exclusively play together. When that environment link happens, all others in the multiplayer disappear and you are left with just those in your environment link. It was handy, but had its share of stability issues and connection issues.

[@Ninetails-ze8mc]

The one thing I really want them to fix are the insect glaive controls because they are horrible on controller and for me are the only thing holding the weapon back for me so I hope capcom are aware

About the performance bit - I'm literally using one of the recommended gpus and the game struggled to hit steady 60. My cpu is overkill for any game out rn. The optimization is awful there's no way around that.

[@bighat4742]

Same. I am *over* the recommended slightly (67000xt and 5700x) and still couldn't get a steady 60fps, hanging around the 50fps. And when in the base camp, it just tanks to 30fps.

[@dragonseth07]

The response to the lack of hitstop has been wild. To hear some people talk about it, you'd think it's the most important part of the game!

[@Rain1]

I mean I get it. It was so lacking in rise especially with the charge blade SAED. It makes you feel the immersion of the hit when you land big attacks. It's all part of the player experience. Just like when you use the home run bat in Smash Brothers, boy do you feel the power.

[@Felipe-oe5su]

The combat feeling meaty is a big appeal, there’s no reason to downgrade it for no reason like they did

[@moistcurdle8719]

Betas are usually separated from the main game development months before said beta comes out, so it’s likely that this beta is from a version 4-6 months ago I’d say. Full game should be better optimized, although I’d say this beta isn’t bad at all compared to other betas.

[@CoffeeSteve7224]

For me overall, despite my performance and graphical issues, I gave it a 9/10. Because it was genuinely fun once things finally like smoothed out. (I did stream it so that caused a portion of the performance issues). But what I found a little frustrating but also comical was the randomization of monsters just being polygonal. Like every other monster could be fully rendered, but then a Balahara would be polygonal. Or a chatacabra. However what did fix that was going back into the starting menu and going back continuing the game. I had to do it a few times. Took me a bit to get a Rey Dau quest because I hadn't encountered it, but when I finally was able to join a lobby quest (cuz many many Rey Dau lobby quests were full) I had the capabilities of posting one. But I did it solo with the NPCs. Also a really nice touch that I recognized during my fight with a party of 4 during my 2nd attempt at Rey Dau was that the NPCs such as Rosso, Olivia and whoever else joins, goes back to camp so that players will join if you ever use a flare.

[@Valkaiden]

The only major issue I had [wife and I play on series X and S] is the series X was having a lot of freezes and crashes, possibly a similar issue to when the X released and was having memory leak problems causing crashes. Series S worked flawlessly through the beta period, and I would assume Capcom will address the Series X issues before release. We gave them a LOT of bug reports to look at over the weekend lol.

[@Umbra_Rex.]

Considering how many people played the current beta, I would not be surprised if capcom gave us a second beta/demo that shows off the final build of the game sometime before release

[@HonestTraveller]

I love the feature where you can explore on your own but then if you fight a monster it starts the quest straight away.

[@EyelessWolf_]

I liked the seeing all the hunters in the HUB it felt like an expedition. I mean who would send just a 4 - 5 hunters and like 50 support people into unknown lands? That's asking for trouble. Who's going make sure the camp and everyone is safe while we are out? Having an active HUB make a lot of sense.

[@mcsalty7358]

I loved the beta, but the hit lag impact definitely needs to be cranked up a good bit with the heavier weapons. Also i really hope Capcom addresses Insect Glaive cause the combos and charge mechanics do NOT mesh well. Even after fiddling with the button layout it was rough. It was one thing to take away aerial combos (sucks but not the end of the world tbh), but the combat flow just doesn't feel right at all and hurts my hands (console player). Im not even an IG main but this just isn't the way to play this weapon. Feels like its going through an identity crisis with its mechanics and crab clawing so many buttons just to adjust my camera while attacking is really not acceptable.

[@andrewtanyenwei7740]

I've been playing since MH Portable 3rd and met one of my best friends through MH World. The enjoyable and precious moments you have hunting with friends is truly what brings hunters all around the world together. Really looking forward to MH Wilds and your future videos on it.

I love all the details, one thing I thought was cool was how Alma records your fights and watches from a distance. I cant wait for the full release!

[@janstastny5937]

Was excited for whole week to finally try it, then after I started playing and finished Chatacabra hunt I tried different graphic setting and realised I have only 2 options. Run the game like microsoft powerpoint slideshow even on lowest settings or enable DLSS and look at blurry mess. I know my RTX2070 is far from best options right now, but still didn't expect it would be this bad. So so far I spend more time in settings and character creation than in actual game, but at least most of the things sound nice about the game.

[@spence6195]

My biggest gripe with the beta was constantly chasing the monsters around, also some weapons hits not feeling impactful enough

[@vansserafim]

keep in mind that the numbers are not as high as they could be because game for some reason is not available in russia and belarus

[@Draethar]

After 19.5 hours I ended up really really liking the Insect Glaive! I can only imagine what it’ll be like when I can build a character around it to make the weapon shine and get the Kinsect moving faster! My ONLY gripe with it was the controls. Charging your Kinsect Extract or doing your charged attacked makes it so you can’t have your thumb on the right stick at the same time unless I learn to do some kind of claw grip where I press Y with my index finger… I may be able to get one of those Elite Xbox controllers that have the paddles underneath to solve this though… 🤔

[@GoPlayNTraffic]

IG and CB needs needs a rework.

[@catbourquin]

The controller set up for insect glave needs work

[@starchecker1438]

There is a huge problem that has been forgotten here. the glaive was castrated. You are no longer the ruler of the air and you are almost equal to the entire footfolk. In the beta, it's ok with the small monsters, but with the big ones it'll be fucked up. Like a big sword wooden head, waiting on the ground until the monster lands. that's stupid. why didn't they adopt that from MHW and iceborn? This is already getting on my nerves. I can't accept that, so I just pre-order the premium version.

[@willytorres1962]

Played it and it was solid but i dont know why long sword simply doesnt feel as good as world/ryse which is crazy to me

[@deviljoegaming]

I felt that managing your max stamina is annoying. I hope they make it so your max stamina goes back to its default level if you return to base camp while not on a quest.

[@deviljoegaming]

I get that it might hurt the immersion for some, but at some point, there needs to be quality of life. Having to eat before EVERY hunt or using a ton of rations/steaks in-between hunts just feels like a waste of resources, especially cause you didn't have to in every other MH game.

[@kruaser123]

I feel like most of the big complaints will be touched on so I just want to list a few nitpicks that will probably get lost in the sea of tech issues. 1. I'm not super thrilled with the seikret. Mostly I hate how a lot of times it just does things without any input from the player like going to the target automatically and you have to stop what you are doing to rein it in. I get they are going for an agro from shadow of the colossus approach to make it feel like a realistic animal, but it got to the point of annoyance that I would dismount him just to check the map. 2. The map sucks. Not the locale, the map. This weird moving 3d map makes it almost impossible to tell where I am and where the route I should take is. It's not helped by the zoom function being either too far to read or to close to read. 3. Speaking of close, and this is purely a personal nitpick, why do the cutscenes feel too zoomed in. Like the camera is too close to the characters and it feels claustrophobic. Not a big deal but a strange choice. It makes me think I should go into the menu and adjust the camera away from my character. 4. Speaking of menus... If you thought world had too many menus, I could barely navigate the betas. I pray we are not reading the armor skills the same way in the equipment menu because my God. I dread to think that Gemma's smithy menu will be as clunky as Worlds. Overall I think the beta was fun bugs and nitpicks aside. I just find some of these choices obnoxious when Rise solved all of these issues, so why are they going backwards on this?

[@kruaser123]

I have found out auto explore is something that you can mess with in the settings, but I feel like that does wrap back around to the ui issue

[@dorianmcdonald1674]

Well if the game at least ran on the lower ends then im sure that half mil wouldve lasted longer. I have no issue playing cyberpunk 2077 on max settings but for some reason i cant get more than 15 frames native? If frame gen is the only way i can hit 30 fps then idk what im supposed to call this; monster hunter slides? I loved the actual gameplay but when i have to dodge attacks before the monster moves then its just not doable. And the preformance issues are entirely cpu dependent because of the lack of optimization, you could have a 4090 but if your cpu is more than 2 years old than you are limited to sub 60 fps no matter what you do

[@Soulsborne312]

I wish i could play the beta once more from the first day, the very first time creating my charakter to first run into chatacabra i truly love the game even in the beta status, the learnig of the mechanics, and you cotton as well as hollow did a great job in your videos, did you also saw in the wide area where the doshaguma run around,the little once there is a rare balck one beneath them i got the pleasure to capture 🤩please keep up the great work and hopefully we could see us one time in wilds 😁

[@TubeYouDSilvy]

Of the four monster - the 3 “early” monsters were fine - they looked good - but in terms of fighting them - nothing special. But I did think Dosha looked very cool - the hair effects looked really nice. But Rey Dau made me feel very excited. For a mid-level fight - fantastic. If that is the benchmark for new monsters - really exciting.

[@jockpackage1770]

lance kind of stole all the lag from GS and S&S, I love lance but the transition form pokes to block t pokes again feels really off. Also, why in Gog's name does doshaguma of all things have an unblockable attack? Rei dao doesn't even have one of those, his biggest lightning blast doesn't train much stamina or do much chip damage but this bear can flip the table and just ignore that. He just lifts the ground out from under you, either suddenly or after having done a slam combo. I guess, if this stays, it means we'll get guard up rather early in this game. I personally love that the devs said, in an interview, that the game will never force weapon swap on you. It's always a choice because nothing in the game is balanced in a way that forces you to use it. Now, we'll see how the skeleton crew handles that promise, in the title updates. They kind of have a tendency to throw out the script from time to time. I really hope we don't get nonsense like that stupid Frontier scorpion that can only have his parts broken by specific weapons and you can only break them in a specific order. That would be bullshit and utterly ruin this idea of weapon swap being optional. Having some cheese trats with weapon swap is fine, the alternative of forcing you to do those things is much worse. IG also had me missing Iceborne and the clutch claw... Well not the claw specifically, that's a joke, What I miss is how you swap from aiming with weapons that have aiming like gunner or IG to aiming with slonger. Using one of the triggers to use focuse mode is fine for most melee weapons, but for IG you end up having your aiming for the bug and shooting it on the triggers that are on the same side. It's awkward as shit to control. I wish it was just tap or hold the right stick to turn on focus mode for that weapon so that you had the proper triggers for the kinsect. There's even a setting to toggle instead of having to hold the input for focus mode, I wish that could be changed so IG is not lumped in the the melee weapons but instead with the ranged ones.

[@indeedgaminghere401]

My Game of the Year, hands down. I don’t care if GTA 6, Red Dead Redemption 3, God of War 6 and Elden Ring 2 drop in 2025. I already know CapCom is gonna bring it home, they don’t miss with Monster Hunter.

[@kittyclaire]

The beta was fun, but as a dual blade user, the new perfect dodge mechanic felt ultra inconsistent to me and a few friends too... kinda like you cannot do perfect dodges back to back? If we dodged and got the buff, none of us were able to perfect dodge again while that buff was still active. We would have to sheathe the weapon to break the buff, then go back into demon mode to be able to perfect dodge again. Friendo said the bow weapon does not have to do that, and when they tried DBs, they said the same thing?...

[@Hell_Soll]

thanks for pointing out the toned down impact of weapons, I got used to the fact that weapons like SnS feel more heavy after a while but it always felt weird whenever I did hit a monster, I never knew how to propperly descripe it until I saw it mentioned on Twitter, if it wern't for the damage numbers, I woudn't even know if I hit the monster or not, some people said that it's better this way for the flow of the battle and recovery time, but I hope that it will return once the full game releases.

[@someguyperson]

This demo is nowhere near ready, but considering this is a build that's ~6 months before the release date, I think they can clean up all the issues. I do want to list the bugs I saw in the demo with only ~6 hours of actual playtime: 1. Monster rubberbanding where Rey was attacking a phantom 8 feet to my right and at the last second, snapped to my location and hit me (probably a netcode issue) 2. PC settings didn't actually fully change until you closed & reloaded the game, particularly when it came to resolution 3. VRS is broken and enabling it makes all water disappear if the camera is moving 4. Monster pathing issues where I saw a Balahara go up and down a cliff repeatedly until it despawned.

[@Maite-AileenBrandt]

I can't agree more with you on your points about exploring and the astonishing feeling environments - especially since World, this game series simply achieved to persistently struck my awe and take my breath by that, lol. (Even though, for that reason, I also struggled a little initially to get into and fully enjoy Rise as much as World, Iceborne, 3 Ultimate etc., because of less (/ different?) focus on the “exploration” / “environment” parts, I guess (though still not completely sure on that one).) Funny sidenote: Especially during explorations of all those twined, vast areas and environments in World's Ancient Forest, I constantly felt that this is the “Avatar” (the Pandora one) game that Ubisoft did not manage to create (as of now). The environments, its flora, fauna, and ambience and all the rich sounds you can perceive, it all feels like a walk through the Pandora of the movies to me. Not sure if I'm the only one, that feels like that. :D But I outright love that fact, and simply it reinforces my overall appreciation for the Monster Hunter series in general even more. :>

[@hubexergaming8224]

Dude its so crazy how you bring my thoughts on point. I found it perfect too and the only thing i hated was that i dont have my privacy in town. Always was a good thing to finaly be in tent or out in the wilds. But it will maybe change. And i need some more HUD and gameoptions. I was never a fan of the green trace everywhere. The „scoutflys“ as soon as possible it will be deactivated and increase immersion that way. Performance on my 4070 with frame gen was perfect. Performance on my Girls 2070s was unplayable. Hope they will get it to run on medium to low until release. Thanks for your content

[@phoenixneo1630]

For the weapon switching, it did let me test out multiple weapons on a hunt (since I was trying out how each weapon feels). It also let me use GS to cut off a tail and then switch to hammer for the stunning. But yeah. This was amazing. And the new features of GS have made me decide to main GS (with hammer as a sub) in this game (which works well, since I've designed my character on a DnD Fighter I play that uses a Great Sword as a weapon).

[@RichardSanders-vo1qc]

Absolutely loved playing the demo. I just feel a bit sad about the loss of the unique character of the Insect Glaive. I maimed IG in World/Iceborn. But in Wilds I’m going with either charge blade or switch axe or long sword as main. Couldn’t get over the changes of IG. As for performance issues. I had a few on PS5 but nothing that isn’t to be expected in a Beta. I’m sure they’ll solve them. I had no crashes. I think the Beta was a great success and if I could keep playing it till February, I would.

Im glad you brought up hitlag. That was the first thing I noticed as a hammer main. I went back and tested it in world. While it is there in Wilds, World's feels way more impactful. I made a note of it in my survey response. I hope it's something they consider tuning up. I too would like an option for auto-run on the seikret to be completely turned off. Having him run because I have a target is frustrating lol.

[@LuvMachine707]

I liked being able to switch from an agile weapon in the beginning of a fight to a strong weapon when it's time to finish things off.

[@lordofwar5790]

Is there a reason they went back to the World way of multiplayer and the Palico? In Rise, we still got to have a Palico no matter how many players were in a hunt. In Word and now Wilds the Palico only stays for up to 2 players. As soon as a 3rd player or NPC hunter joins the Palico retreats to camp. That is the only complaint I currently have and is not really a complaint but more of a curiosity to why they decided to back to like in World.

[@deagron1375]

One thing the weapon swap could be useful for would be when you hunt 2+ different monsters in one hunt. I play IG (regretting bounce missing) and tried gunlance to change my feel and gameplan regarding how to face monsters, and I must say sometimes one feels better to use than the other just for those 4 guys we've got to fight. If they'll do multiple monsters in one hunt like in the previous games, I'll certainly enjoy the switch system depending on the targets

[@philbert4398]
