The corpos who are behind the majority of live services don't know anything about games, they just read charts and make decisions based on what they think said charts mean. The problem is that art does not chart out neatly, making it impossible for them to predict what will actually be popular.

Little did I know, it was one of the least popular, at least on 3DS, and imagine my surprise when I eventually picked up the other games on actual consoles, specifically World and Rise, both of which I play to this day! I played the Wilds beta on PS5 and on Steam, to get the most amount of time and I am just unbelievably excited for it's release. They took the very best parts of World and Rise, and then cranked it all to 11 and added a ton of awesome new mechanics, and I think this will no doubt be the best Monster Hunter entry we've ever seen!

Monster Hunter is basically a continuous game that get expansions between some years, those being each new title. They don't change the game to the point where it doesn't feel like Monster Hunter but even so the feel is different enough to be a completely new experience, and for me that is what make this franchise so successful over the long term

[@zzz66688]

The content in monster hunter world feels like a MMORPG where each update adds a boss/dungeon, and recurring seasonal events. But all of that on a miniature scale of 16 player lobbies. Monster Hunter Wilds will scale it up even further up to 100 in lobbies, so it will be even closer to that of an MMORPG experience.

[@LloydTheZephyrian]

MH World launched on PlayStation 4 AND Xbox One.

[@kman9884]

It was available on PS and Xbox at launch. The pc base is about 1/2 of the gaming base so they did miss out by waiting so long. Ultimately they sold insanely well so it doesn’t even matter

[@proxywolfx]

It was not Playstation exclusive

[@kcl5038]

It was a console exclusive but ya, its PC launch numbers were nowhere near as high as they would have been had the pc launch been concurrent with the console launches. The PC launch was a full 8 months after the console launch and they drip fed content so PC was always still behind consoles. A lot of people who would have preferred to play on PC played on console because they didn't want to wait and then they didn't want to repurchase the game on pc just to have to reset 8 months of progress and still have to wait months to get to new content. They blundered the shit out of the PC launch and disrespected the PC community... which was a real shame because the game just felt so comfortable on PC. With a proper simultaneous pc launch this game will get a ton more love from the PC community. Here's hoping they get the performance issues dialed in a bit before launch.

[@maverickrx8]

[@EdgardR.]

Monster Hunter is NOT live service wtf...it's a whole game by itself that has had multiplayer for a while and now that DLC is the norm they also make some expansions but there's no monthly, not even yearly content updates. It's just a game with multiplayer and (just recently) expansions.

[@tompramanaaccount8892]

Yeah the definition of "Live Service" has change so much since the abomination of EA/Activision microtransactions and they spent years of research how to milk the gold and dime from a players down to a very tiny pieces of content. Live Service used to be an "Alive Server" where there's a huge server with lots of players online playing together and maintained to be alive and well for years to come. Nowadays Live Service means you pay for subscription otherwise you can't continue to enjoy future content and stuck with the content you have or not playing at all. Monster Hunter is the whole package you paid to enjoy till they release a new one and the DLC.

[@rebirthofgodrics907]

They release title updates throughout the year. They are live service lite. They are not live service as the traditional live services we know but it does updates after release since world . Sunbreak had 7 title update. each update changed the gamdrastically the last one being the biggest game changer with armor qurios crafting. The same is with iceborne rajang raging brachy safi fatalis alatreon they were periodically added alongside collab quest into the game.

[@thepikminbrawler1746]

How would you define live service then? I feel like World barely fit the mold of what can be considered a live service but I still consider it one. It has a lot of online features, has frequent updates, microtransactions that are the main form of monetization and there is a sense of player retention (the grind).

[@anthonyweston5588]

This is what live service was originally. Not battlepasses and seasons.

[@MrRenanHappy]

It is literally a live service game as it gets constant updates. They dont just release the game with multiplayer and thats it. Elden Ring is a multiplayer game that isnt live service, it got one DLC and thats it, Monster Hunter World was clearly a live service game by comparison, it had constant updates, microtransactions and constant events.

[@bullbae02]

Just like MH world, it needs more optimization before launch and i know eventually it will.... the amount of technical features here are amazing! i have always been upgrading my PC when a new monster hunter game comes out.... maybe this time i need to as well.

[@thefiresworddragon927]

Yeah, it'll get better, and then when the next game comes along after 3 years it'll become better by removing Denovu DRM, making it playable for people at the recommended specs and without the absolute best gear costing thousands.

[@piedpiper1185]

I would add that Wild Hearts had the potential to be an actual rival to Monster Hunter but EA didn't want to put in the extra work after it was released. It had serious performance issues on both PC and consoles that never got fixed and the player base never heard anything from the team working on them (Possibly because said team never existed). This lead to the game hemorrhaging players the longer the issues were not fixed. It also never did any after release content updates like MH has been doing for ages.

[@LinksRoyal]

yea a real pity. the kamakura stuff was pretty neat. but EA just drop it and moved on. i will never consider their games again.

[@Evycakez]

I really loved Wild Hearts. I don't know why Team Ninja went with EA of all publishers. The game is really good with the building aspect. EA seriously dropped the ball on it, but it us EA

[@bookfish]

Wild Hearts is the perfect example why there won't be any game like Monster Hunter from the western AAA studios. EA saw that MH brings a lots of money to Capcom, to they tried to replicate it. But once it was done they realized, that it takes a fuckton of effort, not just to make a game like this on the same level as Capcom does, but it also to keep the game running, with adding actual new content. So they just dropped it. And EA doesn't want a slow steady income. They want all the money in the world right now, with the smallest amount of work.

[@MrHocotateFreight]

I may have the pc to handle MH:Wilds, but im still gonna say this The specs needed are not ACTUALLY the specs needed, like a car's gas tank with a hole in it, the dev team did such a poor job you need a bigger rig to handle the F ups. And to be clear, there ARE f ups thanks to DLSS, a nifty game-assist program meant to boost frames a little bit, but companies use it actively like a crutch. Its a fantastic game, limping on dlss when it doesnt need to.

[@FellixNoAmatsu]

Imo it's worth spending the 70$ to support developers and franchises that respect gamers and their fans with their work. By buying and supporting games like this we can show that games that are just made to be good games vs games with forced modern politics hold no place in thus gaming industry. I know I'm sounding preachy, but at the end of the day with companies, money speaks.

As if you look, you will notice that most kids these days learn to game on a tablet before they even learn to read/speak or write. Having politics forced into modern gaming will have a massive impact on our youngest and most easily impressionable generation.

I cannot sufficiently express how much MH means to me. I've played every MH game that was available to me in the UK, and I fondly remember my friend calling me one weekend to invite me over, he showed me MH on the PS2 and I was immediately hooked. I asked my parents if they could buy me the game and luckily enough they were able to buy me it that same day. Then when I got home from my friend's house, I immediately started my new save and played it al throughout the night. I also tear up a little when I listen to A Proof of a Hero, as soon as the build-up then flourish comes, I get tingles all over. I'm so grateful to Capcom and the team for giving me a franchise that I can be so passionate towards, and I hope Wilds will be able to continue that success that World brought about. I just sincerely hope the execs at Capcom know not to eff around with the series and not pervert it with the usual corp greed. They're teetering that line when they added MTXs in World and Rise.

Yes!! Gunlance main here, beta was amazing!! I personally didn't have any trouble with the beta. I have a 3080 TI and was running good on 4k. But my buddy who I was playing with has almost the same specs as me and his entire map didn't load in. Like he was running on air and couldn't see walls. Took 3 re-installs but it did eventually run good for him. We had a couple times where we de-synced but I mean for it being the beta honestly it felt pretty good. Hopefully some of those things will be fixed before the launch. I'm super excited for February we got Monster hunter on the 27th and then Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 like 2 weeks before that. :D

You have confused live service with always online. These are not the same. MH literally is a live service. They monetize the game with cosmetic micro transactions and release hunts and events actively over the course of each game culminating in an expansion that sees the cycle repeat. It’s a textbook live service. It’s just that so many games do it poorly that people stop thinking about what it’s supposed to actually be. The fact mh does it so well makes people think it’s just not live service at all.

It's cpu bottlenecked. I got 5900x and 7900xtx. It still lags in the town. 45 to 52 fps, the open world is closer to 60. This game still needs to be optimized. Not feeling good about capcom Dead Rising is still broken. Game break bugs, and we haven't received one patch.

The game can exclusively be played offline with 0 interactions with anyone else. There is not a single actual live service game that can be played offline entire for the duration of the game. By your logic, Mario Kart would be considered live service, and that's not remotely true.

Gameplay seems fun, performance on PC is... not good, very glitchy on what I'd consider a pretty alright gaming PC. If they iron our the kinks before launch it'll be great - REALLY hope they can actually do that though because at the moment, it's ah... rough.

[@Keilink]

Regarding your intro, you speak of the MH franchise being an exemple about building a live service, but that's the thing, Monster Hunter games are *finished products* and not LS. You pay an upfront cost and that's it, you can do pretty much what you want with it: - Rush your way through progression - Install any mods (at your own risks for your save file) - Use cheats - I'm almost certain you can mod cash-shop items into the game - And so on It's not thought like a Live Service where publishers AND lead devs feel like they need to hold your d*ck and show you where to aim, controlling every single aspect of your experience like Ubisoft does even in their solo games nowadays. That's why MHWorld was a breez of fresh air back then, with hope that they'll keep the same philosophy for Wilds~

[@Bat0541]

I'm not so sure on this, it's easy to get big about a high number of players checking out a free test, but for a number of people I know and myself the horrible performance issues shut down a lot of the personal hype for the game, and there are more and more growing concerns about further and further monetization around features that used to simply be present in the game (like the character customization and stuff like that). Don't get me wrong I have been playing the series since the original title on the PS2, I have always loved it, but this one is making it hard for me to get too excited.

While I agree that games have gotten expensive. If you are seriously only interested after a 45% sale then you were never in any reasonable range of the target audience. There’s literally no feasible way this game would ever be sold for that price outside of deep sales long after sales slow down. And that discount is beyond even the recent price hike meaning you would have found the old price too expensive too.

I became a massive Monster Hunter fan around the time Tri and 3 Ultimate came out. It was rare to find anyone out in the West who even heard of Monster Hunter, let alone was interested in it.

I already feel a sense of pride and joy similar to seeing my own child accomplishing something great and I'm technically 10 years late to the party.

[@Sawolf151]

Monster Hunter is awesome but dismissing all the microtransaction is a bit concerning. It's horrible the number of it (World alone has 200+). Among those are the ones to change the appearance of your character which is not in game. Even MH Stories have that. In Rise you are not able to delete your save and even if you pay the change you cannot change your name. It's not all that grandiose and these are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Capcom spitting on their fans. Let's calm down.

[@IzyReally]

Yeah. I love Monster Hunter but I think it's also walking a narrow line where it just becomes a different type of COD style franchise. The slow creep of microtransactions will eventually cross a point where people will eventually have had enough but by then it will be hard to walk them back. Putting game features behind MTX like character recustomization hasn't aged well as more and more games make that a standard feature. Yet we're probably stuck with that because people have come to terms with it being normal. Capcom is a massive company that doesn't need unwavering loyalty and uncompromising praise. So many companies we looked favorably upon 5 years ago have gone to crap because of people not speaking up when they were the ones tiptoeing a narrow line like Capcom is now.
