Eurogamer: we can't recommend the PC version of Monster Hunter Wilds
-
It seems better on launch with the nvidia driver for it than it was during the first open beta but I think they’re right with the overly aggressive culling and texture streaming causing issues. They said it’s still more than playable at 4k60 with my 3080ti and I’m having a blast
I updated my NVIDIA drivers to play and it broke display port support so I had to change the monitor cord to my motherboard display port and rollback drivers

YOU HAD ONE JOB... to render a damn desert.... that is mostly empty... this should work on literally 10 years old gpus with 2gb ram with 100+ fps... they are lazy, they are cheaping out on optimization, game textures does not even look good.

Have you ever worked on a game before? I'm curious how you think laziness plays into this when the entire industry is collapsing and everyone would love to hold on to their jobs.

I upgraded my rig after the beta just for this game. I’m playing it with plenty of frames after the new drivers and dlss 4, no frame gen. I have an i9-1400kf and 4080, way out of average range. It defaults to ultra everything. It still looks like absolute shit. I can’t believe they released this.
It’s a major shame because combat feels amazing. But they are ship of Theseusing MH. So many little baffling decisions. The scout flies aren’t actually as bad as I thought they would be. But there is just so much shit on the screen all the time. And the available settings don’t help so mod is the only hope I guess. They redesigned the item box interface, so 15 years of muscle memory is worthless and I think they removed the ability to sort items cuz I haven’t found the button to do it yet. You can’t simply open the menu and look at your status to include food skill descriptions anymore (or I can’t figure out how). There is no MH language?!? At this point I feel lucky they left in cat noises for felynes cuz the subtitles of their dialogue show me I’d have refunded if it was stuck in English.
I had a sense of awe and…pride?… when world was such a hit after loving this niche title for so long. But I got a sense of the transformation that was coming due to westernization/casualization and it’s just a let down. Idk why they didn’t have faith in their original, more whimsical vision.
God save the portable team.
For the item box, open the sub-menu. First option is auto-sort.

DP is working fine for me, it could have been a botched upgrade and you just have to try again (or DDU)

Indeed. This is 100% on management for not prioritizing PC and rushing the release dates. Cheaping out is right, lazy...not so much IMO.

Yeah that’s just for the pouch, not the box. It looks like the categorized tabs are supposed to replace the need for auto sorting the box, but it doesn’t feel right with the aforementioned 15years of playing. Guess I’ll get used to it.

And that's why I don't preorder games anymore. I'm sure they will fix it, eventually, but it sucks for people who want to play it this weekend.
Preorder has been a synonym of unpaid beta tester for me since almost the conception of digital preorders...
If you like to preorder you should expect this to be honest.

TBH I used to be a huge Monster Hunter fan, pre-ordered MH: World, and it was such a huge disappointment that I will never purchase any capcom game ever again.

agreed, making video games has gotta be the worst ROI software job in the world. bad hours, bad pay, bad management. anyone who wanted to be lazy could do so anywhere else but video games.

Doesn't really matter though, it's NOT on the consumer. We don't have a responsibility to buy badly optimised garbage.

O...kay? I never said you HAD a responsibility to buy MH Wilds. I'm really not sure where your vehement reaction is coming from.

You don't, but the "lazy devs" accusations are nonsense explanations for it being poorly optimized.

I got so tired of spending an hour with friends prepping for a hunt then 10min into actual hunt half of us getting one-shotted because we chased our quarry 50m too far into some area with enemies that can insta-gib you (this was World).
And with PS4 load times too ugh -

Yeah that game was unplayable for me. I rebind my keys, but there were functions hard bound to keys, probably from like debugging or something, so pressing them would execute two functions. Specifically it was camera rotation. That was disorientating as hell.

MH: World is the only MH game I tried, out of curiosity. It ended up on my library at some point as a PS+ game. Got through the initial "story" thing, if you can call it that. The tutorial. Getting to the camp. The mandatory chat with 10 different people. Did the first real "hunt".
It seemed to mind bogglingly boring, that after that mission, I just uninstalled the game.
Wilds looks amazing. Which makes me wonder if the games are sufficiently different that it might be worth give it a chance.

Guess Palworld should have stayed open.
