It feels awful to rate it negatively, because it's a great game to sit down and play; but due to (mostly the performance) I cannot recommend the game to people unless I know for a fact if have a really good PC.
(spec reference for later: Ryzen 7 5800X and RTX 4070)


•Focus mode: Allows more control to attacks, very helpful for newer players.

•The monster roster: Definitely quality over quantity... granted fights in monhun always had quality, just higher than usual.

•Wound system: by having them appear by just playing the game instead of what World had.

•Weapon models: the return of weapons that aren't just mostly copy and paste parts, YIPPEE!
(sad how they messed up World weapon models like that)

•Food Buff: Dying or completing a quest no longer gets rid of your food buff.

•Weapon changes: love changes for all weapons, capcom cooks once again.
(except I hate like half of my most used main's new moves lol)



•Campaign: SO MUCH ESCORTING, I might have had a better time if they just took out a lot of the escorting because I like exploring but getting dragged around to explore a main route feels as awful as it does in ANY game.

•Lobbies: worse than both Rise and World, don't know how you ended up over-complicating the lobby system, and also not provide steam users a way to join via steam menu.

•Co-op: back to same issue as World, you can hunt together but you can't watch cutscenes or do the escort sections with friends

•Crashes: Somewhat frequent crashes (had at least 7 crashes since I got the game, one of them being RIGHT AFTER the start up logos)

•Ingredients: irritating to obtain, up to personal preference ig.

•RNG Decos return from world: I totally having most of my planned build be tied to RNG instead of just a minor part like charms.

•Decos are separated: Decos now can only be slotted in armor, or only slotted in weapons; not both.

•Beta Armor: No difference in models when making beta armor, a step back from World as some beta armor pieces looked better than alpha pieces.

•Endgame: Feels like slop with the fact that now I feel like I just added a gacha game to my library that doesn't use a stamina/resin system. iykyk

•Endgame hunting: You just wait with your friends for apex and dual monster quests to appear otherwise you aren't really doing anything meaningful at all. So hopefully the title updates will fix this.

•god forbid your weapon benefits from focus strikes, some people will fiend for wounds, even if they don't get benefits.

P.S. new LS combo is so braindead, so many LS videos are now unwatchably boring lmao

Mainline story was good and so were some of the side quests too.
Combat I feel could of been harder as I didn't have issues with managing healing due to how relatively tanking Clive is even in action mode to the point where I didn't bother to heal for over half the fights.
Would be nice to re-fight Notorious Mark hunts as enemies in open world are pretty boring (maybe that is a feature after finishing the game but I just went straight into NG+ so I wouldn’t know if they did).
Accessories are kinda just not important; except for a select few, since a LOT of them are super minimal in affecting gameplay for the average gamer. So min maxing a build doesn’t really exist.
Could use a decent amount of less side quests as they are just not interesting but overall it was a very good game.

♥♥♥♥ was boring

Same problem Helldivers 2 has, a lot of countries not allowed to play because of Sony being obnoxious. Aside from that Legends mode is kinda buggy and REQUIRES a PSN account too.

Really want to not post this, because I like the game; however, Sony still refuses to allow 180 countries to buy and play the game.

NGL, felt a bit skeptical about whether I would like the game, but I trusted Fromsoft.
Ultimately at the end of day I love the game, it's been a while since I had a game that is fun to the point where I think about sometimes while going about my day. Only complaint is no that there is PvE co-op via story or some other game type, regardless love the story mode a lot.

zzz

it is so poorly optimized that my game runs 30% slower, so if I join multiplayer I can see players moving faster and the monster can/will slide...

Ultrakill has rewired my brain, I can no longer look at any game the same without desiring near impractical and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ insane synergies. I want my blissful "no thoughts, head empty" mind back.

If the game is going to get any better than the demo, I am really looking forward to playing the full game
