I'm really enjoying my time on this game, but I can't force myself to recommend it. And here's why:

Since I'll be the one with 5,000 hours in Wilds, just like I did in World, I need to be strict and not deny what's wrong with the game (even if I'm not suffering from it). I only play while I'm live on Twitch, and having an active community of people that LOVE the franchise, hearing so many bad things about performance, makes me not want to recommend the game, only for that reason. But there's more that I'll discuss later. It's unacceptable to buy a game that has been promised to us for so long and not be able to play it, even when we have the PC config to do so.

Apart from not being able to run the game, we now need to be CAREFUL with performance MODS because for some obscure reason, Capcom decided to HUNT and PERMANENTLY BAN whoever they please, even if the person is not cheating, without giving a reason AND without letting the person prove that they didn't cheat in the game, and only used tools to RUN it properly. QoL mods, tools such as FOV editor and ReShade WILL BE FLAGGED as CHEATS if Capcom wants, and their word is the last. That's abuse of power and should be UNACCEPTABLE by us, consumers. WE bought the 10 million copies in the first month. WE made Wilds break records. Not the investors, so STOP PLEASING THEM.

We need CLARITY in communication with players, us, the FANS who will be playing for hours on end. We will consume and be affected by shady communication, obscure reasoning and abuse of power without even being able to prove that Capcom is wrong.

Capcom, listen. Remove ARENAS from Wilds, focus on making meaningful content. Stop targeting mods. Cheaters CANNOT do ANY harm to ANY player. If there's more rewards than normal on a quest, people shouldn't enter it. If someone hit kills a monster, the person should quit the game without saving. Besides that, this game is 100% PVE and NO CHEATER can do ANYTHING to get to anyone. Rethink your actions, innocent players do not need to be afraid of enjoying the game that they bought with their own money. No one cares about leaderboards. Whatever is making you go NUTS on mods, GET OVER IT. It's DONE. MOVE ON. We want to play the game in peace. That's it.

It's a great game overall, however, in its current state I cannot possibly recommend it.

It works like ass, there's no other way to put it. Before the last major update I had consistent crashes after 40-60 minutes of playtime. Thankfully, this is fixed now and I can finally play with textures set on High without having to restart the game every hour. That being said, stutters and pop-ins are still a thing and FPS is all over the place, which is quite impressive considering that a lot of textures look atrocious, and that's on High. I'm not going to download a 70 GB HD pack just so the game can look like it's not straight outta 2008, I don't understand why they had to compromise in texture quality on things like character clothing details instead of some ambient barely-in-view mesh.

Performance aside, the game lacks content at the moment. The new core gameplay is fun and smooth, but there's not much to do in the end game. The game lets you use any armor you crafted as layered armor, but for some reason layered weapons are missing, even though they introduced them in Rise. There's not much customization for your Palico either, and they dropped the whole aspect of collecting different Palicos with different movesets from Rise too. As soon as you're done with the main plot and "after-plot", the only thing to do basically is to grind for different armor sets for fashion and roll decorations while hoping for the best, there's not any gameplay loop that gives you any sense of soft progression aside from that.

The game sure feels quite lacking in variety at the moment, even though it didn't shy away from the brand new $70 price tag. With enough time and polish, it will probably become worthy of a recommendation, because the skeleton to support the meat is there, now it just needs to grow it. But until then, I can't give it a thumbs up.

I've played Monster Hunter since Monster Hunter Freedom (2005). It's been a staple for years and I am so happy that the gaming audience took note of how great these games can be. It was elevated with 2018's Monster Hunter World and continued to iterate on the franchise with Rise's dog-like companion similar to the sierket you can ride in Wilds.

What I will say about the game;
The game is a loaded die and your experience will very; not because of anything the player can do; but because the developers did not take the time to make this game perfect.

Regardless if you have a high end pc or a low end pc your results will be the same. I've had points in this game where I say this might be the most beautiful game I've ever played to this is the worst looking game I've ever seen. Im running on a high end (3080 ti) on max settings and it runs around 80 fps mostly. Other zones the game looks pixelated; the lighting looks horrendous; and it's unbearable to look at.

The menus are a nightmare. If your wanting to tweak something specific good luck finding it. There's basically 8 pages of menu options that vary. It's impossible to find what your looking for without a guide. Even some of the things that should be simple such as playing with a friend, or changing your title/ Hunter card is buried.

The gameplay is incredible and the only thing that makes this game worth playing. The wounds to monsters are a nice addition to the traditional monster beat em up.

Late game your quests are essentially non-existent and your expected to open the map and choose a monster to hunt; but they don't tell you this. You run into an issue where there are basically no quests left to do except fish a specific fish that only spawns in one location and is elusive to find. It's busy work and makes it unclear if you must do this quest to proceed further. One particular quest I did; would not show me where to turn it in. You had to turn in the quest during a particular time of day; in a certain spot to even see the quest turn in marker.

It's no doubt that Capcom knew this game would perform and look this bad. We called them out during the beta period and they said it was an older build. In good faith I cannot recommend the game at the state it is in. It's extremely frustrating to come off a game like World where it was ground breaking. Then we had Rise which I think was the classic new monster hunter title with a twist (the dog/Sierket) but still niche in low quality (switch only release first).

If you love Monster Hunter it's worth the play but know that it could have been better and should have been. I don't recommend picking up full price.
