Cephalopods were a great addition as a monster type and they were fun to fight.

You know what would make a Cephalopod monster even better, if it was in water!

Mark my words Capcom i'll figure out how to datamine and rip model out of Wilds only to backport it into Tri.

FInally managed to push a friend to learn how to set up an emulator to play MH GU with me. This 60 fps mod is lovely

. Speaking of which, do you think Capcom will ever release MH GU (or any of the old world MHs) to PC?

No Capcom and Japanese companies in general hate PC as they can't have full control of what you can do with their product. They only release their new games and older games they don't care about on PC as they know that there is a lot of money in PC gaming.

It seems like more Japanese developers are releasing titles (including their older catalog) on Steam, outside of nintendo of course. While I can't see Capcom putting in the effort to port most of the older MHs to steam, MH GU doesn't seem entirely out of the question given that it has a Switch release. It's a bit of a long shot but a man is entitled to his optimism .

Disappointing. The game doesn't really have a whole lot of content at the moment and the content that IS there is extremely easy. There are a lot of ass backwards decisions like having an open world just to have it be instanced to single players. Multiplayer being a shitshow (as always since world), and the Sekiret which is a "Get Out of Federal Prison After Shooting Up A Nursing Home" card with how much it can let you get away with, the pack feature being extremely half baked with only like two or three monsters allowing for it to happen. You can obviously tell that the game was rushed out of the door AND was trying to casualize an already casualized series. Also the game runs like shit on PC and with every subsequent update the game runs worse.

I will say, the new monsters (minus one in the ice area i can't remember) are all solid. Cephalopods were a great addition as a monster type and they were fun to fight.

I've heard it called "what world was to oldgen, wilds is to world". The wound system just seems to power you up even more with little downside. You initially could only fight the final boss once outside of helping out in multiplayer, with a quest and armor being added later. Of course on release there was no gathering hub, and I believe there is no personal room still (so catching endemic life is pretty much useless). Initially, the late game grind for decorations was by grabbing a flower for trading, rather than hunting monsters. Didn't help that the only monster worth hunting at that point was tempered arkveld.

Reason for the negative reviews is that most people probably stopped playing after the 10 hour campaign, so you are left with Monster Hunter addicts realizing the game will probably not feel done until maybe the DLC. You've had updates and the game still isn't stable, so it seems like just another Capcom IP where they string along some minor content. You'd think they would've done a ton considering the sales numbers, but they got the money already I suppose.

I like your optimism. So yea with how most console are doing excluding the Switch 2 Japanese companies will be forced to put more of their games on PC as we can already emulate their games anyway might as well put them up on stream or other platforms. I believe it's only 12 or so percent of gamers that are based enough to pirate or emulate so that's still a majority of the customer base that will buy the ports.

Nintendo will be the only ones that will be able to remain console exclusive as their fans are zealous and will spend insane amounts of money on a company that actively rips them off.

As someone who doesn’t currently have the capacity to play it, is Wilds ACTUALLY bad or is it just Steam losers and World newfags who don’t understand the series?

If you thought World was too casualized, Wilds makes it look hardcore in comparison. They gutted the charm and everything is streamlined to hell and back.
