Been playing the game for two days now and I've been enjoying it. I think there are things to get used to like monsters feel like their attacks don't miss because they stay locked on through attacks and you have to into them which can take a bit to learn. It has a charm to it which makes it stand out and does pretty good to make it feel different from monster hunter.

[@gameranxTV]

[@corywertz9268]

I have a feeling you're picturing that big boar slam when you say they lock on, because yes, that has frustrated me a lot until I learned to just go between the legs. Putting my weapon away became huge for me. But yeah, many monster attacks feel cheap, but the s are awesome.

This isn't Omega Forces first entry into this genre. Omega Force also worked on the Toukiden games which are also monster hunter style games, quite good at that. So I was pretty confident they would do a good job as Toukiden is also very good. The game unfortunately has some performance issues, but I heard they already acknowledged it and will be releasing a patch next week.

One of my favorite parts about MH is that when you break parts, the limp and are reactive. Dauntless does the broken parts pretty well. You can see tails, horns, etc fall off and them react accordingly. Does this game do any of that?

[@kaalz1178]

Yes most monsters have like tails or horns that can be broken off. They also limp when they are about to die.

[@FeaR44444]

Thank you for the review. I appreciate the before you buys from this channel. One thing i missed though: how will the multiplayer Mode Look like. Is it like in MH, that you cannot explore coop but play already accomplished missions together "again" or did they finally change that? The Performance issues when playing Solo probably already answer this one... ?

Played up till the city so far (can't go beyond till release), about 10 hours, loving it. As a MH veteran this one gets all the important stuff right. My own PS5 experience has been good. Occasional slowdown only, but I'm not super fussy as long as it stays above 30fps honestly. Graphics are variable from great in some spots to just okay in others. Overall, looking forward to playing a lot more, I can see myself putting a lot of hours into this one. [Update: full disclosure, as I've played more I have encountered more occasional graphical glitches, but am still enjoying the game a lot).

it might be a small detail but when i saw you can build a "mirror" to freely edit your character i was very pleased. for some reason in monster hunter world you had to pay real cash to buy a ticket to edit your character's looks. and i also heard Wild Hearts devs will be giving free DLC updates so at the end of the day i will fully purchase this game

@@dragjamon I agree. As much as I love a good open world game, not every game needs to be 80-100 hours minimum. This trend will die off eventually tho because its development hell and takes SO long to make one game. Eventually they are going to realize that games at 20 hours length are making the same if not more money and get back to quality over quantity and the only open worlds left will people that actually do it well.

@@Doublemint27 Yeah I'm to the point where if a dev starts bragging about "100s of hours of content" it kind of kills my interest now. For me to play an a massive open world game its needs to be perfect. Good story, good characters, pretty to look at, fun gameplay, and great music. If its missing even one of these attributes its not worth the time commitment so most Ubisoft games, not my cup of tea. CDPR is the only dev that nails open worlds.

Love the game! PS5. It was amazing enough for me in other departments to overlook any shortcomings. I'm really looking for art direction, style, gameplay, music, fun factor - all of that before graphics anyway - and it really delivered on all of those other things. I don't really care about graphics, but if they can improve it some, or get more investment into development and optimization for a sequel great! What is here I loved. As regards the performance, it ran ok on the PS5. Some frame drops. Nothing that really impeded my play, but if you com to games for graphics and performance first, this may not be a game for you. There is a patch coming next week to address some things for PC players and maybe over time, some optimization for console, but I am happy enough with where it is, due to other qualities it has.

[@Akantorz]

For anyone reading this: Wild Hearts has an issues, that the devs know about and have posted on the steam page, the Code is not using your GPU to process the graphics but your CPU. So if you have a weak CPU, the game will run very poorly, but if you have a monster of a CPU, you should be able to play it a comfortable levels. They are working on this and expect the have a fix by the next week at the latest. I am able to run this game on my PC on the lowest settings and always stay above 30fps, but yeah, this game looks amazing when it works. I promise this game will be worth the 70$ once they fix the Coding error so that is uses your GPU. This could also explain why it runs smoother on the PS5 than on other devices of similar power like low-end PCs or Xbox. So definitely keep this game on your wishlist and who knows, maybe you will be able to get the game at a discount by the time it is fixed. The devs also got EA to agree to NO MTX, so 70$, maybe one DLC and that's it. Please support this game if they do fix the GPU issue, this game is really fun and I don't want this game to turn out like Blur...I miss Blur...

As a long time Monster Hunter fan of 12+ years I love Wild Hearts and some of the jank reminds me of early MH. The biggest issues are optimization but i think there’s still enough to love. After a few patches it should be a recommend for everyone imo. But for now maybe only die hard hunting genre fans. It’s unique enough to not be a clone and that’s good too.

[@Tech_D3mon]

As for the graphical issues, it has been confirmed by the Devs that they will be fixing up everything in a patch next week. So if you're the type of person who really needs the graphics and stuff to be up to par (or you're playing on PC) then I would recommend waiting for the patch. Me personally, I have been really excited about the game and already pre-ordered. Plus I'm not really the type to care either. But yes a patch will be coming to fix all that. And if you're worried about microtransactions it's also been confirmed that there will be none. If you're worried about endgame it's been confirmed that there will be in endgame and free title updates as well. I'm getting all of this information from a dev QnA btw.

[@P1anBeaner]

I actually liked deteriorating sharpness in the old monster hunter games it added to the feeling of growth from a newbie to an advanced hunter after learning to go in fully prepared with the items you needed for every hunt kind of like remembering to keep enough paintballs on you so you can mark your monster otherwise you would fail the hunt trying to find where the monster ran off to I can see why they're making monster hunter more mainstream but I miss the difficulty/rewarding feeling of the old games on the psp and 3ds

[@thatrandomguyo1]

There's SOME parts to what you're saying but there's also a wall where you have to recognize it's not difficulty and reward just tedium and monotony. It's not DIFFICULT to bring paintballs, it's not REWARDING to stop fighting and throw a paintball cause it wore off. Being fully prepared and doing the "hunter" experience is a thing vs the brute force beat down but to me that's things like the shock traps, part breaks, environmental traps etc.

I found world pretty boring to play because it crafted for you, it gave you unlimited whetstone, the firefly gps, and all the other ways it held your hand. I kinda miss when the game wouldn't play itself for you and when the fights lasted longer then a few minutes. There are already games that focus on going straight to fighting the monster/boss and I wish that monster hunter would have kept more of the hunt in it instead of making it streamlined but I can see why they did it in order to grow the audience.

This game seems interesting and it has a lot of elements that I really would enjoy but the performance problems are a huge no for me. Hopefully they can do a performance patch to fix things soon then maybe I’ll pick the game up but for now it looks like a hard pass.

You were never interested lol, just keep it real

[@dbzcollector9963]

@@hartfantom not true I’ve read a few comments about how they already plan on dropping a performance patch soon so I already ordered the physical copy from Best Buy it gets here Saturday lol

[@hartfantom]

@@dbzcollector9963 hey, that’s great but I’ve seen a ton of people use performance as a cover up to be dismissive towards the game and it’s annoying. The developers really did make a phenomenal game outside of performance issues. Elden Rings performance issues legit stopped nobody from buying that game so when I hear people trying to trash wild Hearts for performance only, it irritates me because gamers nowadays tend to be pretty big a$$holes towards developers they don’t have a implicit bias towards. All people saw was “EA” and “monster hunter kinda game” and decided to try smearing wild hearts

[@dbzcollector9963]

@@hartfantom I played the first hour and it was pretty good I really enjoyed the combat they just really need to drop a performance patch if they can fix the resolution for performance mode this game would be the only thing I play this year lol I think I spent like an hour just in the character creation 😂 but once you get to the combat the performance doesn’t bother me that much. What bothers me is seeing how good Monster hunter world looks compared to this one and that game is so old for a ps4 game but it looks like 10x better than a ps5 game. Still I’m glad I got the game I have no regrets if they plan on fixing the small problems then I’ll be sticking around for a while since it’s actually a good game it’s just not a feast for the eyes yet. I’m not a EA basher lol tho they did ruin battlefield doesn’t mean they ruin every game, like the new need for speed I actually enjoy it and still play it lol I know a lot of people hate the game.

I base all my future game purchases on these videos. Thanks for all your hard work.

These are the guys behind toukiden right? Can't wait to pick this game up in the future! Thanks for the info!

Why do people talk bad about EA but continue to give them money I don’t get it

[@killacondor]

They randomly make great games like this

[@TheBeatSmash]

Thank you for the honest review. Definitely going to wait until the frame rate issue are solved. These types of games depend on timing and frame rate with that.

[@Typodemon000]

Definetly wanna get this game but I will wait for the patches to bring it up to snuff. Great video!

[@GiovanniiRosa]

It’s been a month now, has it been patched????

[@ShadowDaPk]

Monster Hunter had Sharpness as a game mechanic since the literal PS2 and it serves good purpose in gameplay and game design.

[@TheDRexor]

Did anyone try the sound setting fix for the graphical issues? I heard that fixed the games performance on PC

[@WOKKICAMETHRU]

the monkey Kimono's moveset reminds me of the monkey boss in sekiro (also turn off motion blur when playing this game it makes a weird fuzzy effect like at 11:36)

[@christiancage6626]

As a huge MH fan...and a regular player of monster world...I must say this game is great...when I saw EA were involved I was worried...but I've been proven wrong... really a solid game this👌🏻💯

[@ryanoneill9333]

Hey man, great video. Even with the issues, I agree, this seems like a great game. Could only be even better with some patches.

[@Sho_2v2]

lets call monster hunter world clone

[@trautsj]

This game has some promise but JFC we can not look passed just how truly goddamn horrendous this game LOOKS and RUNS! I mean my goodness is this thing awful. It's so bad that it really does destroy what good there might be in the game IMO. And this thing is a current gen only title. And it somehow manages to look and perform worse than MH Rise on Switch. A truly incredible feat pulled off by the devs to do that badly lol Also $70? Really? Are you fucking kidding me? MH Rise is $40 AND it's on gamepass if you're an Xbox guy...

[@more-oreo]

Great review as always. any plan for Returnal PC?

[@louiemiller6791]

Did you get octopath traveler 2?

[@HiImRawr]

Here we are two weeks later and the game runs perfectly fine. All day one complainer should learn some patience. It's annoying for a brand new game to have issues, but they do tend to fix those issues.

[@goblin3810]

Lol. look at steam reviews. It's awful

[@Pat1711]

Having a blast in the game, the building and devices you can create to help you in combat really make the game. They just need to fix the performance issues and this game can pop off.

[@spectacularspidey28]

sold me on it! I may play to get started and remain hopeful fo the patches to fix it and make it even more worth my while!
