Monster Hunter Wilds is Way Better than I Expected (so far) | Beta Test Review

[@thehellslayer300]

The problem is the optimization is dreadful

[@mokadelic4037]

Yeah, I really hate how companies nowadays optimize their game based on the highest performing hardware available instead of the most commonly used by the players, and rely way too much on upscaling techs instead of improving the native resolution...

[@JONATHANP1619]

Wilds on PS5 on Framerate mode looks worse than Rise on the Switch.

[@thehellslayer300]

​@@mokadelic4037it seems that a good gpu is not enought, seems like this game is screwed by the cpu requirements, and since intel fucked up the 13 and 14 gen cpus thats a giant problem, this also happened with dragons dogma 2, seems re engine cant handle big open worlds without needing some absurd cpu power

[@aidancav]

@@thehellslayer300yeah this is the only game ive seen use 50% of my cpu. gpu isnt even running at 80% most if the time

[@louismartin7608]

That's the last thing devs work on during a production, knowing that this Beta is a few months old and the game releases in February, that leaves quite a bit of time for them to optimize. I expect the final game to run way way better.

Them having an A and B team has been a success for like well over a decade my man.

[@mrbigglezworth42]

Just a note, a little fun fact, but there are more people in game with MH:Wilds beta, than there are peak players of Veilguard. (EDIT) I also gotta agree on Bugstick. The kinsect I suspect will be upgradeable, and I hope Rises alternate kinsects like the support variant comes back. Having it supplement my big attacks was nice, as was building around using the kinsect as a heat seeking missile for big damage as well. I was surprised they nerfed glaives air-game, it finally got to a good spot in Sunbreak so that hurt me. For the most part Swaxe is still decent, but man, I really felt the lack of evade extender and the morph buff skill.

[@snazzydrew]

@@mrbigglezworth42 nerfing the only fun thing about insect glaive is kinda sad but at least I can switch to Charge Blade on the flying so it's okay.

[@immersion9880]

As a bow main I’m in love with the tracker and the new arc shot. Tracker is great for opening wounds and using the “magic archer” finisher is so *chefs kiss*. Also rewards good aim.

[@neerodz2650]

i liked rise for what it is, just how i liked GU for what it is, but at the end of the day the mainline games should not feel more like the portable series than it own self it's fine to have some aspects, world had a lot of mechanics mainly combos from GU, and same here with wilds having that from rise, but the design philosophy of Wilds i can't appreciate at all a lot of consequences and risks have been reduced or straight out removed from the game, monsters will never feel the same when if i'm in danger i can just call my seikret heal sharpen might as well keep running in circles until the monster stop attacking, and then go back to fight i can now do animation cancel mid combo and reposition mid combo if i'm short on potions i can fast travel mid combat or run so fast with my seikret to my very close portable tent and restock they even removed tracking, and i didn't have issue with that in rise bc it's a portable game, but in a mainline game the preparation is almost non existence having the portable tent, the tracking is no longer here, there are no major consequences of failing anything, can you call this a HUNT anymore? it feels like monster fighter than monster hunter to me, and as a long time fan it's sad to see that capcom don't see ppl like me as the target audience anymore it's like a new darksouls with dmc combat, you won't lose your souls when you die, the map shows enemies position at all time so you won't get ambushed ever again, and you have infinite flasks, that's how i feel regarding Wilds

[@Dante-uj5pc]

You make some valid points and I can kinda understand the feeling. To me for now Wilds feels like a mix between World and Rise. It is moving in a more arcadey direction, but not as arcadey as Rise; the environment and ecosystem are really inherited, even improved, from World tho. Let's wait for the finished game tho, might get some nice surprises

[@zephalion7386]

The game just wouldn’t have been where it is now if it catered to the old school noche, games have to adapt to their enviroments if they want to survive, you can give yourself challenges and ignore mechanics and you can have it be hard, it’s there for you to do with as you please,

[@logandarnell8946]

"game should stay the same and never divert" is not ever going to make a successful or interesting series. just play the old games if that is what you want. the only problem is some of them are locked on old bad hardware.

[@Zombie5918]

I understand what you mean and I agree, but don't judge quite so fast, I found monster tracks for the frog and the sand worm thing This is a demo and things like monsters preferring sand peaks to fight instead of flat terrain must be for testing ie: remember lagicurs, (I think that's it's name) not being implemented because it would clip heavily inside terrain? I like to think most of the ease of things right now is for testing and I hope it's no to far from the truth

[@thecrypticstench]

This quite literally is what happened with Elden Ring. They added a lot of QoL features but the open world by its nature gutted the core loop of those games unless you a) went out of your way to engage whatever may have aggro’d or b) avoid using torrent entirely. Really hope that Capcom doesn’t gut the rest of their systems so they can make a quick buck.

[@crimsonsea9985]

Performance mode looks like someone wiped Vaseline on your screen. At least on ps5.

[@Eweyhen]

If your lobby has like 25+ people all around you yeah it does. But in the open world by yourself I’ll disagree.

[@MoreImbaThanYou]

I like the Hunting Horn changes. It's not as simplified as in Rise, but the new inputs give it alot of nuance.

[@JONATHANP1619]

While stable, if you prioritize framerate, the game looks rough. This is not a next gen experience. But in all, the game is fun, the new mechanics and the world in general is really good. I just hope we can have private lobby.

[@blackdust7353]

Wtf do you consider "rough"? I'm more than satisfied how the game looks and by no means do you always need a "next gen experience". As long as the game is fun, looks alright/good and runs well, i don't see a big problem with that

[@logandarnell8946]

considering how this game looks, I would dread seeing the performance on what you might consider a "next gen" experience. a term that means literally nothing anyways.

[@abeon8151]

@@blackdust7353 It looks great when the game loads properly and textures don't look smeared, blurred, doesn't have weird ghosting and other visual artifacts and the character/monster models decide it's low-poly time and turn into PS1 models. Also, most of the time I have around 80 fps on Ultra, but sometimes it just decides to shit itself and drops to 20. I don't know why. And yes, my textures are blurred on those Ultra settings. Other people with even a better PC than mine have been reporting similiar problems.

[@buzzular8198]

without nextgen hardware, how can you expect next gen quality???

[@sk8ermGs]

You’re one of the lucky 10 people with a rig good enough for this game 😢

[@logandarnell8946]

I mean. I have a pretty middle of the line rig as modern setups go and it is absolutely playable, have to fiddle with the settings and realize modern medium is the same as 5 years ago high when it comes to performance. the line will constantly change as hardware and expectations evolve. sucks for those of us with limited disposable income but that's life. it could very much do with optimization passes though, I am giving it a pass for now as it is still very enjoyable and playable in it's current state and it is only a beta. and seemingly an old one at that.

[@Rift0567]

Its badly optimised sure but a lot of middle of the road rigs can run it decently

The majority of people were fine, the problem is with the scrubs with the outdated systems thinking their inferior hardware should be able to play newer superior games.

[@mokadelic4037]

The game itself is amazing, I only hope they polish the performance the better they can, because on my rtx3060/r5 5600x I can barely squeeze 30fps on a 1440p resolution/medium settings with no upscaling. I turned on the upscaling and the performance is marginally better but the drop in quality is way too noticeable for me to settle for it. I also tried lowering the resolution to 1080p but strangely I didn't notice any changes in performance. Except from that, I had an amazing time, and to be fair the game is pretty enjoyable even at 30fps. If they manage to push it into the realm of stable 40fps before release, I won't have really any complaints, it's literally a better version of MH World so far.

[@snazzydrew]

Ngl you're computer sounds weak compared to mine. And I have no issues.

[@mokadelic4037]

​@@snazzydrew well, yeah, if you have a better pc, you're going to get a better performance. Also, water is wet, did you knew? Amazing

[@EspyMelly]

You're not seeing a difference changing the graphical settings because your CPU is what's bottlenecking it, not your GPU. The game is extremely CPU heavy and a lot of more casual PC users don't understand that your graphics card is not the only thing that determines a game's framerate. Unfortunately the only thing you can do to improve that is turn on frame generation, which since you don't have a 40 series nvidia card you'll need to use FSR frame gen which has some pretty bad artifacting.

[@Dandoskyballer]

I already have Monster Hunter World, and it doesn't have performance issues.

[@PunishedDad]

the focus attacks on wounds just feels amazing for any weapon so I think the etiquette on that will be bring skills that cause more wounds if you want to rely on those moves for your build because I'm not going to leave it for you :D

Well you clearly prefer faster movesets and gameplay. The slow and careful react and punish of Monster Hunter is great. I didn't like Rise all that much. I'm sure I'll play and enjoy this game though. Makes sense you no prefer the bow, dual blade, and insect glaive with the fastest movement. I'm a lance, charge blade, and greatsword fan but bow is incredibly fun.

[@jacobscott2473]

[@duobizarrobizarro]

I know people will disagree but I kinda miss tracking the monsters around; ofc I wouldn't want them to force it but it would be nice as some sort of gameplay option to disable instantly knowing where every monster is or something along those lines. Also, the GS is boosted, you can turn around both while charging the TGS *AND* in the middle of using it. You have to try real hard or position yourself really bad to miss now. The new counter is nice, but tbh it's something you'd only get to use regularly whenever farming a monster you already know pretty well; other than that, you're better charging a regular slash and shoulder-bashing to hyper armor it or just roll out if you still have time.

[@cherdnad2630]

I remember seeing tracks on the field. They probably only made the monsters visible in the beta. What would be the point of those tracks otherwise

[@Nero_PR]

All the monsters appearing at all times was done for beta purposes so hunts didn't take too long as the team wanted to stress the servers out at the max capacity, so they cut down all tracking to reduce slower hunts. They mentioned you'll need to track down the monsters the first few times until you get enough lvl to know where they are.

[@PomaReign]

Definitely does not feel closer to Rise than Worlds. Rise is a lot faster and arcardey, this feels closer to Worlds, its not as reflex intensive and movement and animations are far slower than Rise. At best it's 15% Rise and 85% Worlds.

[@emeka490]

Thank you this is exactly my sentiment it's insane that his take after playing the beta. World has elite combat and Wilds has simply improved on it. Very little rise is in this game.

[@devdutdutta8796]

Game is good..... If you can play it ffs. I am barely getting 30 fps and me and many others are crashing like no other

I can get a stable 60 with mostly bottomed out settings and the FSR turned up to balanced but yeah it sure does like to crash.

[@Nutt_lemmings]

⁠seems like some cards can't use the upscaling and just get blackscreens for now.

[@ArtDadDraws]

I fixed the crashing by moving CrashHandler.exe and CrashHandler.dll to the Crash Reports folder. Something is triggering crash handler to run and artificially shut down the game. The FPS issue is really bad imo. I hate having to use FSR and frame generation just to have it feel playable (FSR Frame Gen ghosting is real).

[@darksavior1187]

Having played the beta when it became available on Steam until today, I loved nearly everything I saw. Resulted in a pre-order, I liked it that much. I ran into only 3 issues, and they were all technical; I had to disable frame generation otherwise I had a black screen. I also could not launch an optional quest with the AI support hunters, every time I tried, it crashed the game to desktop. Lastly, I think it could be further optimized to help performance. That's it, everything else I tried was amazing and left me both hyped and sad (sad because February 27 is so far away). Can't wait to hunt in the wilds!

[@terrancecloverfield6791]

Opposite experience here. I'm gonna pass on the launch date until there's assurance of optimizations. I'm tired of the slop that is AAA gaming.

Me having 1000+hours in vanilla World, think it will be fine content wise

[@NovaeXelon]

As IC is my main weapon I feel like people who have a controller that has customizable back buttons have a considerable advantage because of all the charging you do now. I liked to not have the camera locked on to the monster but fine camera adjustments are now no longer possible because my thumb is clamped down on Circle/B for charge attacks or Triangle/Y for charging the insect. It felt much better to play once I configured the back buttons of my 8Bit Pro 2. Also what Mug said about pace: When he said World is a 2 and Wilds a 10 I had like Bayonetta in my head :)

[@dylanskrow1669]

Re. monsters running away too often, I saw speedrunners use a slinger ammo that aggro'd the monster to them and prevented them from changing locations. It's not a permanent fix as the effect seemed to last just a few minutes, but throwing one or two of these pods onto a monster as it gets low might prevent the issue you mentioned of them fleeing multiple times to make it back to their nest. If the beta was still up I'd love to jump in and find the exact item they were using in the videos, as the footage I was watching was in Japanese.

[@squishybuspr]

I played the beta on PS5 and I think it’s an awesome improvement on MHW. My only complaint is that I wish we could rebind some of the buttons, specifically for combat. Using triangle and circle for attacks is annoying. I’m sure they will patch this up on release.

[@Urkikk]

as an IG main, the kinsect in beta while slow is still manageable. it performance in hunt is pretty decent, it still has that mobile aspect on it, even after they remove the bounce, we can also string helicopter into descending thrust which is also a nice addition. and you're not entirely helpless without stronger move either, thanks to descending thrust and kinsect now assist even without any extract to help with collect extract Assist kinsect move also now collect extract along the way, which also include green extract for healing. This iteration's aerial IG also less stamina demanding than World and Rise, now all the aerial move nolonger require stamina to perform them instead of just midair evade, they just consume the stamina, so it only cause a trouble when we land but not as much of a problem, and this is without blackbelt food effect or any stamina reduction skills too. I see Wild IG as its own things tbh. I felt the same way with other IG, even though I want more like Iceborne IG. Still don't like how they gated descending thrust behind red extract like that.

[@Omegasutoraiki]

Thing about the monsters running away. If you use Sword n Shield your Seikret attack changes when you make it sprint. So if something is slow enough you can chase it down and hit it with the SnS sprint attack. You basically swing your sword at it's ankles and hold it out for a while. So you do a bunch of hits as you run past the monster. I have personally used it a lot to hunt down Chata and Dosha and get some more damage on them as they run away.

[@ye-roon]

The game being easy is something capcom usually does for the beta/demo as its more about testing the game and netcode and other things as opposed to balancing the monsters. And i completely agree with the monsters running away, then you do 2 hits and they run away again.

[@Dante-uj5pc]

They put lure pods in there to kinda mitigate this, and hopefully they will get some feedback and change it a bit in final game

[@ericjoestar1065]

I don't get your arguments at all, that Wilds is closer to Rise, than World. The speed of the Monsters and Weapons is inbetween both Games. But this is a continuation of World, with some stuff of Rise sprinkled in. The Game focusses heavily on the ecology aspect, the Weapons movesets are set and you don't have too much Anime Bullshit. Hit impact is also much better, than in Rise and slightly better, than World. Also the Game will be Open World, once you unlock every locale. It's a seemless World.

[@maddo-hq9jr]

Didn't get that comparison either. I even had the feeling that Wilds sometimes even slower than World.

For me, setting optimization issues aside, melee weapons feel just flat. Bowguns and the slinger feel powerful with these meaty, bassy sfx yet melee weapons only have this high pitch metallic flinging sound that lacks impact. The lack of hitstop doesn't help either. If feels you are just cutting through whatever, like flinging a stick through the air. I hope they get this right for the release.

I was never very good at Monster Hunter games. I was getting my face blown off by Rey Dau in the Beta, like constantly. The Doshaguma pack was also really annoying. Didn't find either of those easy myself. The other two though, the bulldogfrog and the wiggle worm were on the easy side. But I did fight Rey and Dosha a lot more than the other two. Also I am a GS main. Have been since MH Tri. And will say that there is not much point in focusing weak spots with it. Since it already deals so much damage. But since you can aim your attacks now, and not just your TCS is the biggest, best upgrade for the GS.

[@Mamiya645]

I want to see a bow/bowgun/ls main try out the lance and share their opinions on its dps, speed, utility. Had a hilarious StarFox kind of playthrough in slow motion of it, hope to buy a more playable PC for this during Black Friday, hopefully a Ryzen 780m box for VESA mounting really is enough for 720p60 stable - that's all I want.

It felt super clunky honestly. The heavier weapons are even slower than before, making combos a pain in the ass. The optimization sucks hard. The goddamn BIRD mount NEVER stops fucking moving.(it should stop when you stop moving the controller stick, why is this a thing?) There was almost no music half the time I was fighting each monster thus leading to dead silence and weird noises. Player pop in was bad, I almost never saw my linked party member even in the same lobby. Even with a great graphics card, my friend and I kept seeing the "wooden models" as we call them.(just low poly unrendered version of chaeacters/entities.) Shits a buggy mess. I guess that's why it's a beta though. Hopefully they fix all that.

[@andredaedone7732]

The game is a lot of fun and no problems with my system vs the game.

[@TheSleepingMongrel]

As a GS main I tend to let my fellow hunters get the wounds for the most part, unless I can knock down on the monster. What I've learned is some weapons are wound makers and wound breakers with the latter being ones that get use from breaking, LS DS and others that get boosted from breaking wounds.

[@iHeartAMP]

Bruh wound braking with the GS is so good, it usually topples the monster and you have instant access to True Charge Slash, you are wasting a lot of DPS if you are not breaking wounds with Focus.

[@TheSleepingMongrel]

@iHeartAMP in solo or with something like Lance I'd agree but other weapons actually get buffed big-time from wound popping. It's best to make them so others can break them IMO that's just my personal experience and yes there are certain situations that GS would be better like getting situational wounds like after Rey gets done shooting or chattacabras tongue hanging out.

[@I39393I]

the best thing i felt off this beta is the depth like longsword straight up get a whole new moveset and a new ender gunlance went from holding shild charging shots to break dancing in monsters face abd the wound system benifits each weapon like you could up your sword gauge with longsword depending on how many wounds youve poked and the sharpness is pretty durable to play with i have no gripe about this beta other than i can not play with my friends since they didnt figure out the low end optimising and he only got a 3060

[@I39393I]

sad thing is they did not gave us some crucial skill for some of the weapon so the flow feels kinda wrong like quick charge with greatsword and quick sheath with longsword and fast transition on switch axe and charge blade so when coming off the sunbreak all weapons just felt slower but theres enough new stuff to try out to the point i can ignore those issues like the new spin move with switch axe is cool af and you can go to the chainsaw by strike the wounds with chargeblade

Do you think it will be good for newcomer? I never played any MH games since non of them look that good to me but this game is really appealing so far.

[@yaboimikevernoy5896]

welcome to the gunlance brotherhood mug

[@Not.A.Heretic]

performance is so ass though

[@catriona_drummond]

Speedier gameplay? hm. My dyspraxia disapproves.

[@DrewWhoSwitch]

My only issue is the monster AI and overall behavior. I think they can iron this out before launch but the enemies move around the map and run away WAY too much. They can also lag out and get stuck in certain areas of the map. Specifically the tunnel entrances from the dessert to the lower levels

[@kayleptwomoons1007]

We had actual omnidirectional movement with wirebugs and I already miss 'em. SwitchAxe Swagger is back. Also pls don't show me players uselessly mauling the monster's abdomen. Easy? That's just low rank where monsters have a 2 second delay between every action.

[@herbyplayz5813]

Just for clarification, the theory of the "A team" and "B team" is debunked. By simply looking at the credits screens for 4 ultimate up to Rise, there is no pattern to who develops each game. Way back in the psp era, sure but now there isnt a difference in developers.

[@NobleRh]

Question What are your specs?

[@OldmanNawaf]

2070S+i7 9700K, 1080p, 40-55 FPS, Lowest Settings, DLSS Ultra Performance 🥲

[@Dastardly_Duo]

0:33 Well it's not true. Hope that makes you feel better

[@illegalalien6542]

Dude stop gaslighting, the beta runs like complete @ss on a variety of rigs AND consoles. Don't believe me?, check out literally ANY discussion board...

[@sangyonglee635]

top action game as always.... wilds has best character animation so far... just need to add 'jump '

[@emeka490]

The gameplay does NOT feel more like rise at all just look at hunting horn. Your coping if you don't see they huge influence World has on this game.

[@I39393I]

i still miss my wire bug when ever im downed

[@Brentonius_III]

ive found that re engine is super weird looking on series s i have resident evil 2 remake and that and wilds beta have this weird blurry image around characters think i might need to get a ps5 my friends have had 0 issues on their console

[@heimdal8]

Why are everyone complaining about frame rate and optimization like this is a finished product? It’s a beta. It’s entire function is to stress test the (as yet unfinished) game and find things like this. Do you not think Capcom are watching and taking notes during the beta that they initiated? Wait until the finished game is actually released and then complain if the problem persists.

[@ericjoestar1065]

Because Dragon's Dogma 2, which runs on the same Engine and is also an open world game, had terrible performance (and still has, afaik). Also a beta is also a small test, for how the performance can be. For example, the beta for World on PS4 didn't run much worse, than the full release and 4 Months isn't a whole lot of time, to optimize. Better question is, why do you have a problem with people complaining about it? You will profit from it as well, when Capcom listen to the customers.

[@Corrupted_Hivemind]

Haven't had issues on both PC(rtx4070 ti and I9 13th gen in case some of the issues like polygon could because of gpu idk) and PS5 during the Early beta access for psplus users. Games great and literally every weapon that feels really good to use like if you hated hammers on worlds for being slow then id recommend trying em on Wilds because they are slightly faster and the bow is so good with the new combos. I can NOT WAIT TO BUILD CRAFT with some brand new perks and the fact gun lance shelling attacks for example benefits from attack up and probably can stack with artillery park(if im remembering the right perk name)

[@thehellslayer300]

You have an i9 13 gen, thats the reason on pc, the problem is that low system requirements demand 10 gen cpus

[@Corrupted_Hivemind]

@thehellslayer300 idk i haven't had any issues so far in the beta but i have seen some images of the polygon issue but never truly bothered to look into it but i wouldn't be surprised low system requirements is a concern... I'm still fairly new and inexperienced to PC stuff in general since i built my first PC at the start of this year so I'm still learning pc technical stuff as i go but im surprised new games still have a moderate low end requirement(granted optimization issues is a growing issue) but some people might have to look into upgrading if Capcom can't fix the issue but it is a beta for a reason so hopefully that issue will be ironed out by launch

[@MoonBunnyLovers]

Never played any. A few friends played on switch and then stopped after like a week... So glad i didn't buy a switch and subscription lol

[@CoreIdeas]

Hey Mug, loving the content! If you get a chance, I think you should play Wayfinder! Just released 1.0 after converting from a live service to a single player dungeon crawler. It's fantastic

[@daeamiralis]

The only thing I hope for is that wilds is difficult

[@daeamiralis]

Rise completely turned me off with how piss easy it was

[@JamoART]

Damn what a wide video

[@quote720]

so did you just tie up your hair and hope everyone forgot? I feel betrayed D:

[@davicioso47]

Monster Hunter Wilds is straight up ambrosia, too bad you cant run it anywhere

[@ivanlawrenceco656]

i call it massive bull, WILDS feels more like WORLD more than RISE, the combat is mix between 4U and Base world. i see zero GU or RISE dna here.

[@ilikecookies230]

im here for beta blues support T.T

[@babytiny5807]

The combat feels so good, but to be honest I miss the clutch claw and especially the slow-paced tracking from World. It really felt like you were getting to know the monsters more deeply and helped with immersion and a build up to a grand reveal. If Wilds had repeated tracking, but a bit less than World did, that would be perfect for me. Also, getting a wall bang with the clutch claw was satisfying and I hope there's something similar here

[@Dalamartm]

I will not be fighting bad framerates with anything less than a 4090 if this game does not improve by release its a pass.

[@cherdnad2630]

Am I the only one who thinks the game is slower than world? At least the Lance weapon.

[@TheKingsGambitShorts]

it takes too long to kill the monsters. no way should it take me 25 min to kill a fucking boar. i dont even want to know how long a big monster/boss/ would actually take

[@TypeiZ]

What are your favourite PS4 games? Any suggestions what to play next?

[@Pokemark17]

I love the bow in this game probly be my new main they did kinda fuck the hammer my previous main tho

[@Fullnattyalchemist]

imho it feels more like world then rise
