Hunting horn in the side pouch? Game changer. Quick buffs before a fight and then being able to switch back to your main weapon. I think the time trade off is worth the dps for the team
@@user-lz5vh9bb5w To be honest, the performance is just pathetic and it really makes the game not fun as a whole. I can understand having either bad performance and really good graphic fidelity, or good performance with lackluster graphic fidelity, but this game does not justify my 3000€ PC to sweat like it does and the game barely scratching 50fps with DLSS on performance, which totally destroys the overall display quality in this game. The game does not break any records in terms of visual innovation or even outstanding visuals in general, yet it runs even worse than dragon's dogma 2 has for me. I just don't understand what is going on in the gaming industry where developers make these games and in the development they don't pump the brakes and zoom out and reevaluate their decisions. Why is every second AAA game that comes out just so abysmally optimized? We as gamers are setting a horrible standard for studios to just hand out below average work and we even pay them for it.
I love that the quests are seamless. Part of what got tedious for me in world was having to go back to camp constantly. Can't wait to get back from my site work Friday and give this a go. Then the game launches on my birthday!
Playing the Wilds beta was so cool because it really showed how much of a testbed Iceborn was for the future of the series. With the guiding lands, snow, clutch claw, ect. I'm excited to see all the new weather and map types in February.
The FPS issue deserves a lot more than just a minor mention at the end, it's actually JUST BARELY playable on Performance mode. It feels god awful by default. They simply cannot release the game with its performance in this state, and we should be telling Capcom as such. Tired of devs making games needlessly detailed in places where it hardly matters at the cost of performance. No one's going to see that super hi res sand rock and go "Wow, this detail really makes the bleeding from my eyes worth it!"
Been coming to Fextralife for years for Monster Hunter content and guides. I’m looking forward to playing the beta this weekend and full release and all the content to come!
I fully expect myself to put in 700+ hours into this game especially with any and all dlcs they add. Have 500 hours in World and it was incredible. Wilds improved every aspect of that game and is a true testament of what can happen when developers truly love the project they are creating.

Performance is important though, and Monster Hunter is a fast-paced game, just not at the very start when you're fighting weaker "tutorial" monsters like Chatacabra, Doshaguma and Rey Dau. No one wants to fight Fatalis with awful frame rates, it does matter for iframing through attacks if you don't just rely on divine blessing or the monster simply missing you.

I went from being really excited for this game to being concerned about performance from playing the beta. No matter how you swing it this needs to be addressed and I hope capcom makes a statement regarding it.
The more I think about this the more I realize how painful and dangerous that would be. Tigers have enough rough spikes on their tongues to rip your skin off after a few swipes. What chatacabra would do to your skin is unimaginable
I've played the last two nights (to the detriment of my sleep) and I agree with most of your points. I can confirm that other weapons have changed move sets and functionality. I main the lance and Wilds has a new counter mechanic that allows you to automatically counter attacks with a small shield bash that really helps to keep your damage output high. The map is awesome, and the only improvement I would like to see on it would be a way to bring up the possible fast travel locations. I get lost on it sometimes and it would be nice to be able to quickly fast travel back to the hub once we are able to start forging new weapons. I don't know how many improvements have already been made since the beta state of the game, but this is really looking like it's going to be an awesome game.
I played it and I'm so hyped! I'm also glad you can change the pitch and tone of your character's voice and hear it in game and that your cat can talk without the stupid meows. Now your cat notifies you of things during combat instead of a meow sound and text. You can make them have a cool voice and the new focus mode allowing for constant directional control with GS, LS, and DB, completely changes the game in everything as a better way to use these weapons when most of the time, this is the reason people used something else. I am READY!!!
Monster Hunter Wilds is my 2025 game to play all year long. With a whole lot of hunting and grinding. Maybe even all through 2026 too depending if it get a huge dlc or two. Only hunt nonstop until Resident Evil 9 comes out or the next Resident Evil Remake.
The other games of 2025 are like death stranding 2 and like that ninja game from sucker punch. Will Resident Evil Remake come out on the 30th anniversary? Or at least I mean the same 2026 year? I just played the PS4 version of the gamecube remake and that was a hell of a remake back then.
The more realistic aesthetic could also be due to the RE engine using a lot of face/object scanning. It’s a similar hyperreal aesthetic to other RE engine games like DMC5 and Dragons Dogma 2. Granted MH Rise was also RE engine but they had to stylise that to get it to look good on switch
I thought I was just going to try out the fishing mechanic then a Ray dau with more rewards shows up. I was like hmm I want to hunt you with the hammer this time round. Last time with a great sword it was a 35 minute solo fight. This time round..... 6 seconds to spare out of a 50 minute fight. I got to the reward page and I suspect that the monster was like a larger crown since it felt like a larger health pool. The rewards had 3 inverted plates, 2 tickets and 1 gem. Pretty damn good rewards off one monster. Then before i had a chance to save it said connection error. At least I got the screen shots.
Really accurate insights! I've played on PS5 the last two days and for me the immediate things that DO stand out positively is that the voice acted main character actually really helps the sense of 'immersion' into the story. I always disliked how my character in MHW or MHR would just nod at everything, you know? Secondly, the amount of people in the camp area and then the ease of SOS flares bringing in other players...it REALLY did make it feel like a living, breathing world. Your comments about it feeling more like an MMO are really on-point and AWESOME! Imagine the fun of perhaps a lower-geared but highly-skilled player being able to hold their own against a super tough monster. That's how I felt fighting Rae Dau last night. It took like 26 minutes and I carted twice, but it felt SO rewarding when we defeated it. I definitely need to learn the new attack skills and patterns as you commented, but I'm excited about that! Overall, it feels like the perfect evolution and forward-thinking you would hope for in an iterative game like Monster Hunter. I'm SUPER excited for the release and would already bet monies this is a 2025 Game of the Year contender!!
Played the beta last 2 days, while the gameplay is great the visuals and performance on PS5 need alot of improvement, performance mode looks bad, and quality mode looks better but framerate sucks, hopefully they can improve them before launch
I actually kinda liked how big and overblown and bombastic oversized all the things were in Monster Hunter World. I like"Jurassic Park" feel to it, it gave it an extra sense of fantasy. There was a certain charm to it. And I'm worried that with this lean toward more realistic it will lose a portion of that. I know a lot of people are going to hop on the 'this open world is so fantastic train' but I'm tempering my expectation. I think open world is overrated. This may be hot take but I like have a hub and going 'on missions' in a separate area instead of constantly being in it. I didn't particularly like the Guiding lands portion of Ice Borne and I'm sure I'm not the only one. As a positve tho yeah no kidding the weapons act AMAZINGLY. The combat has never felt so fluid. They took what was good in Worlds and sprinted with it. They nailed that so well. Best it's ever felt by a large margin.
Yeah I'm with you on this one. I didn't like the open world as much as I thought I would. Maybe once more enemies are involved and we have access to the crafting etc it will change but the beta didn't hit with my like I wanted.
I did not expect how much of a difference it would make for the camp to be integrated into the map but it's huge. Makes it really feel like a proper next-gen MH game.
I loved it but I had network connection issues so had to solo hunt. Hopefully it works better on release. Otherwise I thought it was great as a huge fan of the series I think this could end up my favourite.
You could only play the desert map in beta. There will be 4 more areas besides the first one when the game is released (5 in total). We already know about the new Scarlet Forest and Oilwell Basin from the trailers.
This sounds better and better every time you talk about it. And i cannot tell you how excited your description of an open world "mmo-like" feel makes me...i am mostly a solo player that really enjoys just grinding mobs and exploring mostly on my own, but i do love an mmo feel where i can spontaneously group with other players in the open world to just thrash a boss when the opportunity presents itself...i dont want to be a part of an organized raid guild or something with that much structure but the ability to just organically pop in and group up with other players for a specific event i happened to fight across is really appealing to me... currently most MMOs are just not designed to cater to that kind of mostly solo play focus, since obviously group content is the lifeblood of an MMO surviving long term...maybe this will scratch the itch of that cross section of open world combat focused rpg + some organic group content... I'm more and more excited every time i hear about this game.
I have so much hope for this after this review. Gonna try the beta this weekend. Just got me and 3 different friend groups pumped to coop this, thanks Fextra!!
I managed to be lucky enough to get a session of wilds with friends, footage etc and honestly the way they introduced the new boss and mount mechanics were awesome, i honestly cannot wait for the game to release. what was your favourite weapon used in Wilds?
Omg seeing what the monster drops right from the menu instead of having to go to MHWiki for it is a huge improvement. The amount of times I open MHWiki for the most obscure items needed for lategame weapon upgrades
been playing dual blades over the weekend and it was a blast. More movement, better fluidity, evades with counter hits and a lot of spinning along monsters! Best monster hunting life ever 👍
Super excited to check this out this weekend. Definitely want to dive in on the insect glaive and the longsword, and I think maybe dabble with a bow as a secondary to add some range. Can't wait for this.
You know, after the dumb shit that happened with the dragon age situation, which is 100% a shit game, I'm starting to look at this channel in a new light, I still don't agree with a lot of you, however, as a 20+ Monster Hunter Vet your explanation was well explained and sound, I very much enjoyed this video man, well done sir.
@Fextralife. I watched the full video. Great video but you didn't address the SOS feature ( I don't think you did). The fact that you use your SOS and you get three NPC hunters to join immediately and if a player joins, he/she replaces one of the NPCs on the hunt, is GOT DAMN AMAZING!!! I LOVE IT!! Also if a player leaves the hunt (rage quit), an NPC takes their place. This will come in handy when playing with Korean hunters #IYKYK 😅😂
Wilds has very little hitlag and screen shake and unfortunately in the beta you can increase it, all you can do is go to their website and send a review/ feedback asking them to up the hitlag,screen shake,performance and etc .
I love the game and can't wait to play it. However I could barely run it at acceptable levels with an 11900k and a 3080ti. I was unable to get a steady 60fps unless I turned down the settings to medium-low, which looked absolutely terrible, AND used DLSS at ultra performance from 1440p (meaning the internal render resolution was 480p). I say stable 60, but it was still dropping down to the mid 50s during the lightening storm even at these settings. I tried FSR performance mode with frame gen, and while I was able to get a stable "60" it looked even worse with FSR, and the ghosting and input lag from the framegen made it unplayable for me. I don't know if I'll buy it if there aren't significant performance improvements by the time it launches. I am able to play every other major AAA title at 4k high settings and the most I ever have to do to maintain a stable 60fps is turn down a setting or two, and use DLSS quality. I have never played a worse running game in my life.
Well said... This is the greatest iteration to date! Capcom really showed out... I didn't have an issue with performance since I have a decent PC But I couldn't max out my settings and I could in Mh:World so I'm just going to upgrade my GPU before the full game launches!!
Wow, I feel very similar to some of your thought-provoking remarks on the Beta. I pretty much skipped the opening cutscene in order to get into the gameplay. I'm trying to get my best friend into MH through World (I didn't like Rise). I found the physical reactivity of the monsters' skins quite impressive! My weapons of choice were the SA and CB and let me tell everyone, the SA feels more fluid, but more complex. My negatives are that the UI is still clunky af with too many double confirmations. However, this is going to be a landmark video game release for Capcom and our time 😅 🎉❤
I'm kinda excited to know how much the gameplay will change now that we have the option to carry a secondary weapon to switch during hunts, and use like two weapons that focus in stamina such as the bow and dual, and pairing all the perks and bonuses from the armor and jewel to máxime damage. On a second thought, as a solo player any main weapon plus the hunting horn to self buff, sound pretty well.
My two mains are great sword and hammer. If the monster goes to a hill area or places with ledges the hammer will be well suited for me to sonic spin dash it's arse.
I like how the guy in the story prologue sees the hunters weapon and is shocked that people could actually hunt monsters. He never considered that you can kill anything with a big enough stick like my lance
I'm getting the pro so I'm not that worried. Something that I've noticed, that it could be a bug, but turning the motion blurr off, for some reason actually increases performance. It could be my OLED doing some work, but I've noticed that it was getting insanely smooth, so I brought the counter in, and it was oscillating between 76 and 118fps, with motion blurr on, it was between 45 and 57fps
I've greatly enjoyed the wilds beta, trying out the new attacks, testing out weapons I don't normally use and having a blast. My rig is starting to age, but still got solid performance at 1440p ultrawide 21:9 on my RTX 2080, so I am happy about that, the only issue I have been having is a rendering issue with the water, looking really bad at certain camera angles, where the mesh for the water just kind of screws up. It's not a performance and framerate issue so it doesnt affect gameplay, but it is a little immersion breaking mid hunt. Overall I am super happy the Beta gave us four new monsters to test ourselves against so the whole beta experience is fresh with beasties that we havent killed a thousand times over. Though I laugh that the 3 addetional armor sets they let you play with all are super weak against lightning so the big bad thunder dragon is a surprising threat at first contact. Switch Axe is just as satisfying to use as it always has been, Gunlance has some serious impact, I enjoyed Heavy Bowgun in the beta, and I've historically stayed away from bowguns in the franchise. The new tracer for the Bow is a wild new addition. I like that the movelist is visible in the top right, letting you at a glance see your moves when your learning a new weapon, and thanks to it, I was able to quickly get used to the new full combo for Gunlance for some seriously heinous damage output in one long explosive combo
I think the 2 weapon combinations are going to be interesting to see. Im guessing there's going to be weapon combos people discover that are going to be insane
I've made a run at every Monster Hunter game the last decade or so. These should be games I love but I always bounce off of them because the loop of locating, wayfinding, questing and looting has never made a lot of sense to me. The new changes suggest that finally I will have an MH game I can sink dozens of hours into. Very pleased to learn of these changes, especially the map, the feature I've disliked the most in every previous MH game.
Trust me man I did that with monster hunter world when it first released. I played 30 hours and got “bored” came back after a few months and with a better understanding of making builds (specifically getting a focus gem for my greatsword build) and I now have 1500 hours on world/IB. Give it a shot it’s one of my favorite games of all time!
Wait so u never liked monster hunter because you have to..... hunt the monsters? and because you have to.... loot? So what you want a game where you just spawn ontop of the monster everytime and dont ever have to loot anything?
@@MolezHD Uhm....no, that's not what I said. I said that the way MH implements and presents that loop is one I don't get on with compared to other kinds of open world loot and crafting games.
I'm loving the demo. I am definitely going to be maining the switch axe unless they somehow nerf it considerably. The addition of the counter attack and offset attack have opened up so many possibilities for that weapon.
There's no negative about being able to use two weapons. I mean you don't have to use two different kinds of weapons you could use, for instance, all double blades or dual blades and then have a different element in your backup. And now you're prepared for multiple types of monsters
I haven't seen anyone talk about it yet but since we can now have 2 weapons, can we carry 2 of the same weapon type? Can I have 2 different dual blades to match different elemental weaknesses for free farming fun? On the same note, can I have 2 of the SAME dual blades to potentially beat monsters without needing to polish?
Hate to appear like an FL fanboy but this is the second review I’ve watched of yours this morning and you nailed it for me…again. I have never played any Monster Hunters after just dabbling in one once and felt it was too impenetrable for me and I didn’t quite get it. I downloaded this Beta just out of curiosity and was blown away by how good it was. It felt totally cool and accessible. I preordered instantly and can’t wait to dive into this world with mates. Crazy U Turn by me that I didn’t expect.
It’s awesome that we have similar taste! Monster hunter is so addictive and fun, Its my most anticipated title for next year next to kingdom come deliverance 2 and titan quest 2. I’m weird like that lol
@@Fextralife I couldn’t get along with Kingdom Come Deliverance yet so many said how good it was. I bounced off it almost immediately. Maybe just a time in my life when I had to be selective about what time I put into games. I watched the trailer for KCD 2 however and that looked much better.

Does your gear set change if you switch weapons?
I've played the last two nights (to the detriment of my sleep) and I agree with most of your points. I can confirm that other weapons have changed move sets and functionality. I main the lance and Wilds has a new counter mechanic that allows you to automatically counter attacks with a small shield bash that really helps to keep your damage output high. The map is awesome, and the only improvement I would like to see on it would be a way to bring up the possible fast travel locations. I get lost on it sometimes and it would be nice to be able to quickly fast travel back to the hub once we are able to start forging new weapons. I don't know how many improvements have already been made since the beta state of the game, but this is really looking like it's going to be an awesome game.
There is a way to bring up a list of all fast travel locations it has the tent icon on the bottom left when you bring up the map with the touch pad
With the map open if you used the D-Pad you could set it to just fast travel locations
@@metalgamer8179 Yeah, I figured it out after I posted my comment. I should've been looking at more than just the hotkeys.
I'm normally against buying whatever in pre-sale, but this game was super fun. The bow was awesome to use
hope they will consider bringing in akantor and ukanlos
I played it and I'm so hyped! I'm also glad you can change the pitch and tone of your character's voice and hear it in game and that your cat can talk without the stupid meows.
Now your cat notifies you of things during combat instead of a meow sound and text. You can make them have a cool voice and the new focus mode allowing for constant directional control with GS, LS, and DB, completely changes the game in everything as a better way to use these weapons when most of the time, this is the reason people used something else.
I am READY!!!
Monster Hunter Wilds is my 2025 game to play all year long. With a whole lot of hunting and grinding. Maybe even all through 2026 too depending if it get a huge dlc or two. Only hunt nonstop until Resident Evil 9 comes out or the next Resident Evil Remake.
An expansion is guaranteed with Monster Hunter; it’s been that way since MH1. Expect 3 years, minimum, of new features and monsters. 😊
@ Hope people remember who I am after I disappear for 3+ years hunting
The other games of 2025 are like death stranding 2 and like that ninja game from sucker punch. Will Resident Evil Remake come out on the 30th anniversary? Or at least I mean the same 2026 year? I just played the PS4 version of the gamecube remake and that was a hell of a remake back then.
The more realistic aesthetic could also be due to the RE engine using a lot of face/object scanning. It’s a similar hyperreal aesthetic to other RE engine games like DMC5 and Dragons Dogma 2. Granted MH Rise was also RE engine but they had to stylise that to get it to look good on switch
The beta was pure CRACK! Cannot wait for the full release
I thought I was just going to try out the fishing mechanic then a Ray dau with more rewards shows up. I was like hmm I want to hunt you with the hammer this time round. Last time with a great sword it was a 35 minute solo fight. This time round..... 6 seconds to spare out of a 50 minute fight. I got to the reward page and I suspect that the monster was like a larger crown since it felt like a larger health pool. The rewards had 3 inverted plates, 2 tickets and 1 gem. Pretty damn good rewards off one monster. Then before i had a chance to save it said connection error. At least I got the screen shots.
Haven't played a Monster Hunter game in over 10 years. Your video has really piqued my interest. The game looks like a lot of fun.
Really accurate insights! I've played on PS5 the last two days and for me the immediate things that DO stand out positively is that the voice acted main character actually really helps the sense of 'immersion' into the story. I always disliked how my character in MHW or MHR would just nod at everything, you know? Secondly, the amount of people in the camp area and then the ease of SOS flares bringing in other players...it REALLY did make it feel like a living, breathing world.
Your comments about it feeling more like an MMO are really on-point and AWESOME! Imagine the fun of perhaps a lower-geared but highly-skilled player being able to hold their own against a super tough monster. That's how I felt fighting Rae Dau last night. It took like 26 minutes and I carted twice, but it felt SO rewarding when we defeated it. I definitely need to learn the new attack skills and patterns as you commented, but I'm excited about that!
Overall, it feels like the perfect evolution and forward-thinking you would hope for in an iterative game like Monster Hunter. I'm SUPER excited for the release and would already bet monies this is a 2025 Game of the Year contender!!
So hyped for this! Pre-download for the demo is 11pm est. for me on Steam. Longsword & Bow ftw
Rookie numbers 😂
@ ?
@@RodimusPrime29 homie couldn't read.
Played the beta last 2 days, while the gameplay is great the visuals and performance on PS5 need alot of improvement, performance mode looks bad, and quality mode looks better but framerate sucks, hopefully they can improve them before launch
Yes it is playable right now for sure, but you basically have no choice except bad framerate or bad resolution, needs to be some optimization asap
that's why this is a beta test. they gather data and feedback from this beta to further optimize and improve the game.
Yeah as good as the gameplay is I'm not going to buy it with this kind of performance. Performance mode looks and runs like a Switch port.
@@amysteriousviewer3772 Its beta of course it will be better in the main game.
@@RussellDrumss Thats what they said about dragons dogma lmao
Another awesome video. I'm having a blast with the Beta too. February can't come soon enough!
Did you get that "larger than life" in a script? Sounds as genuine as "return to form" from the other recent game.
You need to work on your comprehension. We were criticizing that aspect of world and highlighting wilds is not that way.
I actually kinda liked how big and overblown and bombastic oversized all the things were in Monster Hunter World. I like"Jurassic Park" feel to it, it gave it an extra sense of fantasy. There was a certain charm to it. And I'm worried that with this lean toward more realistic it will lose a portion of that.
I know a lot of people are going to hop on the 'this open world is so fantastic train' but I'm tempering my expectation. I think open world is overrated. This may be hot take but I like have a hub and going 'on missions' in a separate area instead of constantly being in it. I didn't particularly like the Guiding lands portion of Ice Borne and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
As a positve tho yeah no kidding the weapons act AMAZINGLY. The combat has never felt so fluid. They took what was good in Worlds and sprinted with it. They nailed that so well. Best it's ever felt by a large margin.
Yeah I'm with you on this one. I didn't like the open world as much as I thought I would. Maybe once more enemies are involved and we have access to the crafting etc it will change but the beta didn't hit with my like I wanted.
The hub mechanics they figured out is absolutely fabulous. I could not believe how seamless everything felt.
How similar is the character movement and control and attacks to dragons dogma 2? Looks pretty similar with how the characters and monsters move
Did you try playing with your hammer today?
I did not expect how much of a difference it would make for the camp to be integrated into the map but it's huge. Makes it really feel like a proper next-gen MH game.
I loved it but I had network connection issues so had to solo hunt. Hopefully it works better on release. Otherwise I thought it was great as a huge fan of the series I think this could end up my favourite.
I hope they bring back the Geralt skin/armor. Loved to play MHWorld as Geralt of Rivia
I’m also a hammer main, what second weapon do you think would compliment it best?
Something to chop tails
Are there many different terrains? Real forest or arctic?
You could only play the desert map in beta. There will be 4 more areas besides the first one when the game is released (5 in total).
We already know about the new Scarlet Forest and Oilwell Basin from the trailers.
This sounds better and better every time you talk about it. And i cannot tell you how excited your description of an open world "mmo-like" feel makes me...i am mostly a solo player that really enjoys just grinding mobs and exploring mostly on my own, but i do love an mmo feel where i can spontaneously group with other players in the open world to just thrash a boss when the opportunity presents itself...i dont want to be a part of an organized raid guild or something with that much structure but the ability to just organically pop in and group up with other players for a specific event i happened to fight across is really appealing to me... currently most MMOs are just not designed to cater to that kind of mostly solo play focus, since obviously group content is the lifeblood of an MMO surviving long term...maybe this will scratch the itch of that cross section of open world combat focused rpg + some organic group content... I'm more and more excited every time i hear about this game.
I have so much hope for this after this review. Gonna try the beta this weekend. Just got me and 3 different friend groups pumped to coop this, thanks Fextra!!
I managed to be lucky enough to get a session of wilds with friends, footage etc and honestly the way they introduced the new boss and mount mechanics were awesome, i honestly cannot wait for the game to release. what was your favourite weapon used in Wilds?
Omg seeing what the monster drops right from the menu instead of having to go to MHWiki for it is a huge improvement. The amount of times I open MHWiki for the most obscure items needed for lategame weapon upgrades
Would this be recommended for someone who has never played Monster Hunter?
been playing dual blades over the weekend and it was a blast. More movement, better fluidity, evades with counter hits and a lot of spinning along monsters! Best monster hunting life ever 👍
I'm on newgen Xbox and the game won't let me connect to Xbox network. Do I need to wait till November 1st?
Super excited to check this out this weekend. Definitely want to dive in on the insect glaive and the longsword, and I think maybe dabble with a bow as a secondary to add some range. Can't wait for this.
what is the beta download size?
You know, after the dumb shit that happened with the dragon age situation, which is 100% a shit game, I'm starting to look at this channel in a new light, I still don't agree with a lot of you, however, as a 20+ Monster Hunter Vet your explanation was well explained and sound, I very much enjoyed this video man, well done sir.
Lovely summary, completely agreed and looking forward Wilds.
played on PS5 and PC and it ran and looked so much better on PC (not shocked, but still) they absolutely knocked it out of the park
@Fextralife. I watched the full video. Great video but you didn't address the SOS feature ( I don't think you did). The fact that you use your SOS and you get three NPC hunters to join immediately and if a player joins, he/she replaces one of the NPCs on the hunt, is GOT DAMN AMAZING!!! I LOVE IT!! Also if a player leaves the hunt (rage quit), an NPC takes their place. This will come in handy when playing with Korean hunters #IYKYK 😅😂
Is there a way to make the combat more punchy like in World? It feels like you're hitting the monsters with a pool noodle.
Most weaopn have like 4 moves that it 😂 and I agree with you this focus mode so stupid
@@oscaroska7613dont think he was talking about the focus mode
Wilds has very little hitlag and screen shake and unfortunately in the beta you can increase it, all you can do is go to their website and send a review/ feedback asking them to up the hitlag,screen shake,performance and etc .
@Heracles12Labors yeah but focus mode makes the monster less acceptable to stagger animation by design
@oscaroska7613 I dont think i follow, focus is mode is a semi aiming system how does it mess with stagger?
Does anybody know how to change the camera so you can target-lock on the monsters like you could in Worlds? I don't see that option.
I love the game and can't wait to play it. However I could barely run it at acceptable levels with an 11900k and a 3080ti. I was unable to get a steady 60fps unless I turned down the settings to medium-low, which looked absolutely terrible, AND used DLSS at ultra performance from 1440p (meaning the internal render resolution was 480p). I say stable 60, but it was still dropping down to the mid 50s during the lightening storm even at these settings.
I tried FSR performance mode with frame gen, and while I was able to get a stable "60" it looked even worse with FSR, and the ghosting and input lag from the framegen made it unplayable for me.
I don't know if I'll buy it if there aren't significant performance improvements by the time it launches. I am able to play every other major AAA title at 4k high settings and the most I ever have to do to maintain a stable 60fps is turn down a setting or two, and use DLSS quality. I have never played a worse running game in my life.
How does it compare to the fluidity of Horizon series. 😅 I have MH world but I’m not liking the movements is this one better
The map on the beta is not the complete map right or is that the map on the actual game?
It’s not, there are more locations
Well said... This is the greatest iteration to date! Capcom really showed out... I didn't have an issue with performance since I have a decent PC But I couldn't max out my settings and I could in Mh:World so I'm just going to upgrade my GPU before the full game launches!!
Are longswords still capable of flinching your allies? Or did they take that feature away?
Flinching is in
Please tell me they have the option to add blood effects and remove damage numbers. It was my number one complaint about World.
Already pre ordered on PC. Waiting till February is going to hurt.
Wow, I feel very similar to some of your thought-provoking remarks on the Beta. I pretty much skipped the opening cutscene in order to get into the gameplay. I'm trying to get my best friend into MH through World (I didn't like Rise).
I found the physical reactivity of the monsters' skins quite impressive! My weapons of choice were the SA and CB and let me tell everyone, the SA feels more fluid, but more complex.
My negatives are that the UI is still clunky af with too many double confirmations.
However, this is going to be a landmark video game release for Capcom and our time 😅 🎉❤
I'm kinda excited to know how much the gameplay will change now that we have the option to carry a secondary weapon to switch during hunts, and use like two weapons that focus in stamina such as the bow and dual, and pairing all the perks and bonuses from the armor and jewel to máxime damage. On a second thought, as a solo player any main weapon plus the hunting horn to self buff, sound pretty well.
My two mains are great sword and hammer. If the monster goes to a hill area or places with ledges the hammer will be well suited for me to sonic spin dash it's arse.
I like how the guy in the story prologue sees the hunters weapon and is shocked that people could actually hunt monsters. He never considered that you can kill anything with a big enough stick like my lance
So ready for this game. February 28th can’t come quick enough
What, no top scars? Is this game going to sell?
I'm getting the pro so I'm not that worried.
Something that I've noticed, that it could be a bug, but turning the motion blurr off, for some reason actually increases performance.
It could be my OLED doing some work, but I've noticed that it was getting insanely smooth, so I brought the counter in, and it was oscillating between 76 and 118fps, with motion blurr on, it was between 45 and 57fps
Love it. Playing dual blades as my main weapon and deciding between light or heavy bowgun as my secondary.
I think I’m choosing the heavy as my secondary because I like that offset move it has to blow up some monsters lol
@@TheUltimateRey Heavy feels really good. The option to use it while mounted is great too!
@ my thoughts exactly! I was wondering if mounted bow gun would be viable and from what I’ve played I think so
Hey what game do you guys recommend?
The game is looking fantastic
I've greatly enjoyed the wilds beta, trying out the new attacks, testing out weapons I don't normally use and having a blast. My rig is starting to age, but still got solid performance at 1440p ultrawide 21:9 on my RTX 2080, so I am happy about that, the only issue I have been having is a rendering issue with the water, looking really bad at certain camera angles, where the mesh for the water just kind of screws up. It's not a performance and framerate issue so it doesnt affect gameplay, but it is a little immersion breaking mid hunt. Overall I am super happy the Beta gave us four new monsters to test ourselves against so the whole beta experience is fresh with beasties that we havent killed a thousand times over. Though I laugh that the 3 addetional armor sets they let you play with all are super weak against lightning so the big bad thunder dragon is a surprising threat at first contact.
Switch Axe is just as satisfying to use as it always has been, Gunlance has some serious impact, I enjoyed Heavy Bowgun in the beta, and I've historically stayed away from bowguns in the franchise. The new tracer for the Bow is a wild new addition. I like that the movelist is visible in the top right, letting you at a glance see your moves when your learning a new weapon, and thanks to it, I was able to quickly get used to the new full combo for Gunlance for some seriously heinous damage output in one long explosive combo
but is it worth playing without multiplayer?
I LOOOOOVED my time with the beta. I cant wait for the full release!
I just hope they add settings for full button remapping
Thank you! I didn't know there was an open beta.
I think the 2 weapon combinations are going to be interesting to see. Im guessing there's going to be weapon combos people discover that are going to be insane
SOOOO HYPED FOR FULL RELEASE
I've made a run at every Monster Hunter game the last decade or so. These should be games I love but I always bounce off of them because the loop of locating, wayfinding, questing and looting has never made a lot of sense to me. The new changes suggest that finally I will have an MH game I can sink dozens of hours into. Very pleased to learn of these changes, especially the map, the feature I've disliked the most in every previous MH game.
Just dozens?
@FellixNoAmatsu dozens is a lot for some people. But yeah for a MH game that's pretty weak lol.
Trust me man I did that with monster hunter world when it first released. I played 30 hours and got “bored” came back after a few months and with a better understanding of making builds (specifically getting a focus gem for my greatsword build) and I now have 1500 hours on world/IB. Give it a shot it’s one of my favorite games of all time!
Wait so u never liked monster hunter because you have to..... hunt the monsters? and because you have to.... loot? So what you want a game where you just spawn ontop of the monster everytime and dont ever have to loot anything?
@@MolezHD Uhm....no, that's not what I said. I said that the way MH implements and presents that loop is one I don't get on with compared to other kinds of open world loot and crafting games.
Soooo when does this release?
Full release is feb 28th of next year
Downloading this instead of Dragon Age 🔥
In a way, it reminds me of Public Events from Destiny. Like I could just be drawn in to a fight that I can help out in
SO true. SO much like destiny. Good point to bring up.
Best game series ever man. And Capcom should be praised
Never played any, I am hyper for this coming one. Any recommendations on which series similar to this so I get myself familiar with MH?
Do you have to pre-order for beta access?
no
It's free for you to try.
Thanks, I found it on the website and downloaded it that way, because it wouldn’t show up in the PlayStation Store.
I'm loving the demo. I am definitely going to be maining the switch axe unless they somehow nerf it considerably.
The addition of the counter attack and offset attack have opened up so many possibilities for that weapon.
There's no negative about being able to use two weapons. I mean you don't have to use two different kinds of weapons you could use, for instance, all double blades or dual blades and then have a different element in your backup. And now you're prepared for multiple types of monsters
I haven't seen anyone talk about it yet but since we can now have 2 weapons, can we carry 2 of the same weapon type? Can I have 2 different dual blades to match different elemental weaknesses for free farming fun? On the same note, can I have 2 of the SAME dual blades to potentially beat monsters without needing to polish?
This is a game I see myself playing for years to come. Throw Dragon Age Veilguard in the trash, and save the money for this game!
Did bro find downy crakes at 4:00? quick get that achievement 😂
The weapon swapping mechanic is pretty unique not as good as just pressing a button but it feels like this is how it should work irl
Mines doesn’t work says can’t connect
I am glad they tweaked the weapons. Its so much fun to master the weapons. It will be nice to learn again. I am super stoked to play this tonight.
Why does it crash or need me to use PlayStation network when i try to play this?
Is it possible for more than 4 players to get into your lobby?
16 tota; I think
@@rezterralico4369 running around the open world or just meet at village?
Hate to appear like an FL fanboy but this is the second review I’ve watched of yours this morning and you nailed it for me…again. I have never played any Monster Hunters after just dabbling in one once and felt it was too impenetrable for me and I didn’t quite get it. I downloaded this Beta just out of curiosity and was blown away by how good it was. It felt totally cool and accessible. I preordered instantly and can’t wait to dive into this world with mates. Crazy U Turn by me that I didn’t expect.
It’s awesome that we have similar taste! Monster hunter is so addictive and fun, Its my most anticipated title for next year next to kingdom come deliverance 2 and titan quest 2. I’m weird like that lol
@@Fextralife I couldn’t get along with Kingdom Come Deliverance yet so many said how good it was. I bounced off it almost immediately. Maybe just a time in my life when I had to be selective about what time I put into games. I watched the trailer for KCD 2 however and that looked much better.
I’ve never played any of these but I’m gonna jump into this one for sure
How do you get into the beta?
You just download it
