*** Monster Hunter: Wilds Thread ***

[jinxpad]

Couldn't find a thread for it so decided to make one (Mods please forgive me if not allowed)


The pc beta now available on Steam I had a chance to try it out this morning and was very pleasantly surprised with the FPS that I was getting.

80-105 during opening cutscene
80-95 during first fight
Maxed settings (As much as I could at least)
No FSR/Upscaling
1440P

Given that a friend of mine said that the console performance was terrible even on performance mode struggling to maintain 60FPS, I was a little worried but now after actually trying it I'm even more hype about the final release in February.

Hoping to find some other OCUK hunters maybe! I've been a monster hunter franchise fan since the Freedom Unite days on PSP, absolutely loved World, Rise was OK imo.

They'll be adding cross play as well with Wilds, really looking forward to it. The MH community has always had a really active community, so we should be in for some fun times.

Still not sure about your character and the palicos having actual dialogue though, I kinda liked being these silent hunter who just nodded and grunted at everything to get my point across...

Just did first mission, performance for me was roughly 120fps at 4K with DLSS Quality and frame gen active (4090 + 7800X3D), I dunno maybe seems a bit low for how game looks


In terms of gameplay though I really enjoyed it, first time playing using mouse and keyboard rather then controller, went with my usual hammer and I felt sorry for that poor little monster I completely wrecked his day

I think that's not so bad fps considering you're at 4K?

No idea to be honest what kind of fps do you get without any framegen?

MH World is the best in the business but MH Rise has updated QOL changes from world but its more casual friendly imho, very solid game and might be the easiest to get into but for the purist experience World is the way to go, probably dirt cheap now too.
Try the cheapest maybe to see if you enjoy the gameplay loop?
Or you could just wait.
Worth mentioning the vast modding support for world though.

Am really looking forward to what the modding community come up with for wilds!

Bought the digital deluxe monster edition which comes with the icebourn expansion and some cosmetic dlc for £14 which I thought was quite cheap. Downloading now so probably give it a quick go tonight.

have fun! One thing that I would definitely say as a new player is to just stick at it if you feel a bit discouraged at the start. Monster Hunter games have a really steep learning curve and each weapon handles significantly different from the each other. One thing Monster Hunter has never really done well at least in my opinion is easing new players into the mechanics of weapons very well and it can seem quite daunting and there is a lot to learn but I promise you when you actually get it, There really is no other substitute for Monster Hunter.
