Monster Hunter Wilds

What went wrong?

No content and too easy

Nothing

It's the best selling game of 2025. Probably will only be beat my Mario Kart and maybe something else.

No Maki dating option

Is this game as good as Monster Hunter World yet?

Why do keep making this thread

I wish I had a button that instantly erased anyone who has ever posted a Steam charts screenshot on Anon Babble from existence. And I don't even like Wilds.

Nothing. There's a finite amount of content and 90% of the playerbase will have done it by now and aren't interested in the autistic grind that keeps people perpetually playing.
I also think making a player count thread should net you an instant ban as you have no interest in genuine discussion.

not even close lol

This is the funniest release since DD2

all that hype and it’s so bad people pretend it doesn’t exist

don't try and latch onto world's success you wilds scum

Infested with Type 1 and type 2 slop

Bro there were multiple betas, of course I played the game, which is why I knew the game would end up flopping massively. It’s AWFUL

What causes Capcom mental illness like this?

kek if anything I think wilds was forgotten faster than dd2 lol

flopping massively

Kill yourself retard

59% positive reviews

LOL I only buy at 70% or higher

I played all the shit and it still runs bad

I also think

Stfu gay retard. No one cares what you think.

Drip-fed monsters and no endgame grind. People aren't going to keep a game installed to play 3 hours every 3 weeks when a new monster drops. After a couple of hour of hunts, you have enough of the new monster mats to craft whatever you want and the fight itself starts getting predictable.

it’s not specific to capcom but all Japanese media. It’s why certain subsets of tendies are deranged, why some anime fags are mentally ill, why Kojimadrones are delusional. Some people experience have their experience with Japanese media, and never broaden their horizons

It's a combination of brown skinned niggers who cant even run the game trying to turn every game into the tortanic and classicfags seething that the games aren't the same as what they played 15 years ago.

That’s complete dogshit considering it’s the sequel to capcom’s best selling game ever and it hasn’t even beaten rise yet.

It's just not as good as world man. Super let down by this

boring ass game

genuinely felt nothing while storming through it

Occam’s razor suggests the game is just bad.

isn't this that tranny game? you know the one with the trannies?

article march 31

released Feb 28

It sold 8 mil in two days

Ended the month with only two more mil. April passed and they haven’t announced more than ten mil. OUCH. Wukong for the record had 20 mil in a month.

Still more player than troonbreak

Rise has been out for over 4 years retard.
Considering I've actually played the game and you haven't I would suggest you're a retard.

moving the goalposts

Not the point. The game isn't a flop you retarded nigger.

Wilds made me finally realize that Tokuda is a hack.

I think I just got bored of monster hunter. I'll probably drop the series when GTA 6 comes out

Anon Babble is so desperate for everything to be TORtanic they call games that sell 10 million copies flops

When the Switch 2 releases this board will become unusable

If GTA 6 sells 20 mil that’s a flop anon, sales are relative

Wilds doing ten mil is ATROCIOUS

I hate wilds and i hate ryozo for fucking up dd2 development

Tokuda was always a hack. The first game he played a large role in (4U) was pretty controversial and all those complaints are what led to the massive changes in world. World itself was obviously controversial for a lot of reasons and then you have wilds which is a disaster. Tokuda hasn't made a single game that's universally beloved

the game isn’t a flop

It objectively is a massive failure

You're objectively fucking retarded.

Speaking for myself, they casualized core mechanics and ruined the sense of skill expression involved in positioning yourself properly by shoving focus mode in the game. They also shoved a perfect guard mechanic that's piss easy to pull off and highly rewarding. Usually, when games have a parry mechanic, the timing's fucking hard to pull off. In Wilds it's piss easy.

This game offers very little to hardcore players who want to truly get gud at it, and casuals will do their story playthrough and forget it, so that's probably the issue.

See
You literally have no arguement. Wilds performed horribly

oh but compared to indie dev scrimblo bimblo earth bound inspired deck building rogue like ten million is good!

It’s the sequel to capcom’s biggest game ever. And it sold like shit while having zero legs and continues to have negative word of mouth

why would anyone play MH without master rank?

I came from vg lol let's get this party started

solid summary

Better than base World, doesn't hold a candle to IB

The wait for P6th is going to be awful.

they'll probably delay the wilds expansion too lol we'll be waiting 10 years

The base game was pretty good even tho it lacked content and a lot of the new "innovations" (connected maps, herds, alphas, weather, dual weapons, etc) were pretty pointless and severely underutilized.
The post-launch, just like SF6, is just abysmal. Spreading the content of a single update over 2 entire months and releasing a single new monster every 3 months is just not enough to keep people interested.

Overall it's probably going to become one of the best MH eventually, but it desperately needs the expansion to fix a lot of systems and like double the roster.

Usually, when games have a parry mechanic, the timing's fucking hard to pull off. In Wilds it's piss easy.

They ruined my favorite weapon with this. Sword and shield is such an overpowered joke. I remember someone posting some thousand+ entrant spreadsheet on carts and SnS was the lowest by a country mile. It’s like cheating

hurdur just don’t use perfect block :^)

Then you just feel like some goober not using your weapon to the full potential. It’s not like skipping clutch claw or mantles. It’s a feature built into the weapon. You feel retarded for not using it.

Overall it's probably going to become one of the best MH eventually

Lol, the gameplay is horrendous because focus mode has homogenized every weapon

30 fps

No gameplay changes from World

All monsters are shit

PS3 graphics

Added Lovecraftian shit to a family friendly franchise

Retarded interface

Unskippable walking segments

Shit music

No Elder Dragons on release

Less monsters than MH2 and 4 on release

Proof Of A Hero is literally just a copy of the original but worse

Hammer deals no damage

LS is overpowered

No challenge

No MH language

Is this the worst game of all time?

The Bug moves in Rise were mostly awful as well and they managed to improve them a lot in SB.
It can be done but it's something that 100% requires a major overhaul in the expansion.

Holy fucking based

Wilds is a product of dumb greed, casualized to extreme levels blindly seeking to increase the player base while ignoring those who've been sticking with the series. I sincerely hope it fails hard to surpass World sales to make Capcom go back on their horrid streamlining of game mechanics.

DELETE THIS NOOOOOO

World was too successful for capcom to reverse course.

Realistically speaking they just double down. An exec sees a huge initial rush of sales and low engagement rate and doesn’t think

huh we alienated our playerbase we need to win them back

But thinks

huh we need to further pander to fomo cattle and maximize the experience for casuals

Like people keep expecting g rank to be harder when more realistically capcom will think it needs more story

playable

it isn't, and thats what went wrong

the fucking retarded story that you have to sit through for 7+ minutes before you can play with your fucking friends waiting to join you FUCK

Wildxisters...... Our response???

Execs are always ruining everything so that wouldn't surprise me. If Wilds is the template that Monhun will follow in the future I'm fine with dropping this series, unfortunately.

By who's standards?

I don't know OP, what could possibly be the reason? Is it maybe because of you being a gigantic faggot ?

Not exactly holding my breath for portable team to cook after Rise.

Don't even want one, Wilds is so bad I wish they'd just make a whole new videogame that's actually good instead.

They should've let it cook for another year. Poor optimization, made rare drops way too common, no chase items.

I beat the game
Waiting for an assload of content before I go back to it instead of the dripfeed.

That's a nearly 30 year old game. Having that many players is amazing. Wilds is less than 3 months old and has lost over 95% of players

SB was easily the best MH I've played since 3U. If Ichinose doesn't get coerced into adapting too much from Wilds, it should turn out pretty good.

I actually just started playing this. This is my first Monster Hunter game. So far it seems fine I guess. It's just like a series of boss fights.
I do wish the fights were a bit more dynamic - they start to all feel the same after a while. They should have different strategies for different monsters or do something to make it feel less like you are just hitting a damage sponge the entire time.
I just finished the main story, but it seems like there is more content after it. Not sure how much more is left.

Faggot

Honeymoon phase is over and now people see how retarded the storytelling is and how braindead the game is.

nothing. that 1.3 million player nut combined with initial sales is all that will ever be talked about and people pointing out the massive decline will be shouted down as weirdos who don't even play MH.

If the new portable MH doesn't have (modern) water combat it's a spiritual flop

That's a nearly 30 year old game. Having that many players is amazing

Holy copium. Its a flop bro they even canceled the sequel

I don’t know I think the sticking point will be

it’s not better than world it didn’t even outsell it

Spbp

The portable games never had underwater combat so it's very unlikely but it would be hilarious if portable did it

I have really simple concept for Capcom to avoid waiting years for the next game, stop re-building the fucking gameplay, menu, and other various systems from the ground up every single fucking installment. That might help.

It's an autistic mainline thing and they're only doing it because of world sales. Rise was literally initially just meant to be a GU sequel with the same old ass graphics and gameplay

SB was much better than base Rise but you still had garbage like spiribirds, double gun dogs and spammable wirebug supers. I can't imagine going back to it.

It's so fucking sad that Lagiacrus has been hyped to heaven and back at this point, it's going to be a very disappointing fight in Wilds.

3U was portable

p3rd was portable 3U is mainline

SteamCHAD ludo

stay.

There's a finite amount of content

A game about replayablity should have replayable content, if a MH game is only fun the first time you see the content it's a bad MH

I'm still hopeful that one day MH3U will be supported by Pretendo

Actually, the 3G(U) version for the 3DS is the original software, the Wii U version is a shitty upscale of the 3DS game. As a matter of fact, Tri's textures on the og Wii are better than 3U's textures on the Wii U because of this.

give it another couple months and it'll be less populated than rise on the switch / switch 2

More like released from Nigtendo's dirty paws
And 4U, too. imagine relic hunting for months with a REAL working online

spiribirds

Don't use them. You already get the standard 150 HP/STA from eating anyway.

double gun dogs

Never used palamutes outside of getting the award, I wouldn't know. Gather cats are too useful.

spammable wirebug supers

The only silkbinds I ever had equipped were repositioning-based moves, so I wouldn't call them "super moves." I also couldn't spam them, or I'd be in trouble if shit hit the fan.

World has the excuse of being the return to real consoles combined with Iceborn which further inflated the numbers. You can't compare the two until wilds expansion releases.

This is the truth.
But the real truth is that you blow through LR so fast, and the balance of the game is so wonky that there is literally no walls or points of challenge at all until VERY late HR and even those aren't hard if you're not stupid. It's a shame bc some of the new monsters have decent movesets and fantastic designs, but they don't get to shine. The wounding/focus mechanic is too OP and hard to balance, but focus also changes gameplay too much. I can't help but hold it down with LS even bc I can't miss my foresights if I do (also LS i so unga now it's retarded, sunbreak was actually peak ls). I see people complain about people carting who have NOT EVEN UPGRADED THEIR ARMOR. It's almost like they're new and never hit a point wuuhere they were taught they needed to bc they failed.
The art, new monsters, and weapons are all soul, but the game is a nothing mess of easy bullshit with8 5 monsters you fight in the end. That's it.

Fighting AT rey for the blossom dance had me realize the aftershocks for his attacks are the kind of mechanic that, in another monhun, the monster would have as part of their kit, but you would be able to break parts to help reduce the effectiveness or get ride of he aftershocks (his fulgurite coated wing blades), like nergi with his spikes or even shogun ceantaur with his razor claws, but no its on AT end game event quest rey dau. Feels like they removed the mechanic.
But worse still is that if you break those parts on AT rey it doesn't stop them... so its not even a mechanic. Just feels lazy.

It's not just about the player count. The reviews are bad too. Crapcom got away with it again everyone said it wouldn't be shitty like rise

open up game

it's rise

Tendies need to stop pissing money away on slop products and they'll stop getting raped by corpo

real consoles

Whatever the fuck that means. Was MH on fake consoles before?

Portable does not mean the game was on a portable console. That's irrelevant.The portable games have a design philosophy distinct from mainline games and have all been directed by ichinose so far. The portable games are freedom, FU, p3rd, GU, and rise

If it was like Rise it would actually be fun to play. Wilds is 100% a logical continuation of world and its mechanics.

Capcom has already proven that they hate money, so I have given up on a real "Classic Collection" of any kind. I seriously doubt it's Nintendo stopping them from releasing the games again.

Wilds being easier than World is extremely illogical though, normal logic would dictate that World was a gateway for noobs, so it's easy, then Wilds should be harder since those noobs already got some training with World. But nope, it's somehow fucking easier?

The game is good, but god fuck it runs like nigger shit
Literally kills the game for me.

the game is good

Jeet detected

classic collection

Let's be real barely anyone would buy that shit. Kids and even most Millenials need their slop upscaled grafics and cinematic story to enjoy Monster Hunter these days. It's so over.

World was wildly successful by dumbing the game down for casuals and thrusting ungodly amounts of forced story into the progression. Wilds just went with the "if it worked so well for World, then going even further down that path will be even better" logic.

Probably already is, world literally yesterday was about half of wilds

contrarian idiot detected

Literally made for babies, and I'm not even a dude who wanks over difficulty.

Lack of content, too easy, runs bad.

It'll probably get better (this isn't a cope, it happened with Rise, don't be a faggot), but the dripfed model is tiresome and I want them to stop doing it, make finished games, stop tampering with the UI, and stop making the games annual releases.

Every annual series I've seen (Pokemon, Ass Creed, COD) has had major problems.

Monster Hunter games getting easier by each generation is standard for the series.

Majority of reviews are bad

The aftershock stops if you break both its wings but only temporarily as it can restore them. The reason for the aftershock to exist in first place is to counter all the counters as they made the hunter even more OP. Sb endgame did the same with risen valstrax and shagaru spawning delayed explosions. The worst is that without the wirebugs you can just spam everything.

good for you and your ChatGPT powered bot army
also platform full of PC shitters is absolutely irrelevant so there's that

Shut up jew

They use to use good looking people in advertisements to make ugly people feel bad. Which was an effective form of controlling them. These days they use ugly people in advertisements more often because it’s like a type of controversy to keep us distracted. Games are just ads lol and they make you pay for it. I can show you a dozen or so different propaganda methods in use, just in the OPs screenshot. Aliens have been killing my friends.

you know exactly what it means faggot and if you don't then you haven't actually played the games and aren't worth having a conversation with when trying to discuss the games. so, which is it?

90% of complaints are about performance issues.

inb4 shilljeet

The people whining about it running like shit are poor shitskins and chinks.

Well excuse me for finding console elitism completely retarded. Basing the quality of a game on whether or not it specifically released on Sony or Microsoft hardware is incredibly childish.

Another nintendo nigger posting steam charts

Rangeban when?
MH isn't a live service game

MH isn't a live service game

Appealed more to movie game shit and doubled down on all of world's worst aspects. I do not give a fuck about that child and his village and I don't know why capcom thinks anybody else would be either. I want Monster Hunter not monster movie watcher.

MH isn't a live service game

Capcom handles wilds like one. They even ban people from online.

MH isn't a live service game

LMAOOOOOO

World was just a flash in the pan. Normalfags bought it but realized it was a real video game so they didn't buy Wilds.

No content, way too easy
I've killed every monster available in the game
Haven't carted a single time
The wound system keeps the monsters stunned/flinched 90% of the fight.
I absolutely love the focus system, it's just that the monsters play as if it didn't exist. They need to make the monsters harder to account for the much more fluid and better feeling combat.

Went back to Rise, hadn't played the DLC, the monsters are 10 times more aggressive, there's barely any windows to attack ( at least with GS ) and it's as if they never get tired.
You get maybe 1 mount on the monster in a full hunt, I haven't actually failed a single mission as of yet, but have died plenty times to monsters like Goss Harag and , partly due to wearing high rank armour in MR.

I had so much fun with MHWorld's Fatalis and Alatreon, I killed them maybe a hundred times each. Going to Wilds, the game just isn't at all challenging. And Fatalis probably won't make a comeback since we have a budget version of his attacks in Zoh Shia

MH isn't a live service game

Keep samefagging like the retard you are, you're surely proving me wrong

The art

soul

The game looks genuinely horrible in terms of art direction

I absolutely love the focus system

You had a good thing going with your other points but looks like you and I cannot be friends.

Because thirdies can't run the game with their 10 year old pagpag fueled gaming rigs.

Insect glaive just isn't fun enough what if we gave it two buttons that you have to permanently hold down

All me BTW

blossomdance is over

it's over

They made the worse than Vanilla launch World and Rise.

World was new and fresh

people had alot of patoance for the QOL and dumbing down of mechanics

way more hype than Wilds

actually had basic conte t like a final boss and hub at launch

the deco grind, while dog shit, was atleast A GRIND, Wilds has nothing

Rise had way better action arcade focused combat

Rise had the best update cycle between all 3 games (update every month.)

Rise brought back a couple of old mechanics and had a more portable feel(portable MH are the best games)

Really it's content Grind. You can't go back to Worlds dog shit drip feed style with a update every 3 months after giving people a way better update cycle with Rise.
You can't have ZERO grind in a MH game, along with zero friction becuase of QOL casualizations unless you have actually difficult content (Wilds has neither). In fact, Wilds LR/HR is the easiest in the franchise.

The game peaks in third world time zones. Game is just bad homie, excusing the performance is just a crutch. Same with DD2

Why are you lying? Even normalfag mc dad gamer says the game is bad.

MH isn't a live service game

too easy

no switch skills

linear "open" maps full of invisible walls and canned seikret animations

75% of the budget went to storyslop

slim roster

very static build-crafting thanks to lack of buildcraft features and redesign of the armor skills

every hunt plays the same because of this

It’s also

hideously ugly

runs like shit

music is borderline ai slop

removed armor variations to appease troons cross dressing

MH isn't a live service game

- Price tag
- Dumbed down for normies and streamers
- Woke content to appease woke trannoids
- Deep shit performances on pc
- Boring design for monster, armors and weapons
- Crappy gay music

The list goes on

Not even close and is full of brown people just for "iNcLusIviTy"

Kill yourself, the game is pure shit, even compared to base World

World turned it into one.

Capcom cocksucker

locked on-cartdridge dlc on 4u

nice try

Event Quests

LMAO

Are we allowed to say World was better now or am I still a World baby for that?

good as Monster Hunter World

Equally mediocre

uuuuuuuuh im sooooooooory you just cant fight fatalis right now please wait until the unlock date I know hahaha I'm sorry I just wont unlock them before the right time!!!

also directed by Tokuda

OH SHIT

Drip feed content and the game is piss easy.

Wilds is so shit that it makes World look like a competently made game.
But it's not surprising that the team behind World, which was a bad game, also made another bad game.
They made a movie game for normalfags and made it so braindead you never have to learn how to play. The percentage of people in "endgame" content that don't understand how to play monster hunter is the worst it has ever been in Wilds. It's impossible for them not to get carried in this game.

There's a reason you constantly get reminded to carve tails, to gather things, the status effect of the monster, and watch out for big attacks. And it's because they understand that the World subseries of games are made for the lowest common denominator that don't want to learn how to play the game.
Reading monster behavior? Looking at patterns? Fuck that just tell the player to watch out and have the HUD go nuts.

Too casualized.

People who complain about "dripfeed" content clearly have not played a legit MH game at all. It's had that shit since the very beginning via its event quests.

Rise was the same shit I’m guessing you played the PC version? Because Switch the game took a while to get its wheels in motion.

Rise was done after two months and in those two months they released 9 monsters (including recolors).
The game launched in March of 2021, Chameleos updated arrived at the end of April, then the Valstrax update arrived at the end of May.

took a while

2 months
The game has been out for 4 years

I updated my drivers and my game has been crashing during mostly the AT quest every time I get to his room
I don't care enough about this game to rollback drivers, and uninstalling, wiping the folder, and reinstalling didn't do anything
5080 + 7800x3D btw; incredible work capcom
This shit's depressing man; I knew World was fun but was also the harbinger of worse things to come, and they came fast
My favorite series just feels (and looks) like sludge.. slop, if you will

people said left and right it's the driver after one day already

nvidia lists it at this point as known error

anon still fresh installs the game

rolling back a GPU driver is a matter of 3 minutes

Nvidia card

lol

Not using Unreal Engine 5 and instead uses a shit engine

they'll waste another year or two updating this dogshit instead of making a good game like GU and rise

annoying

Works on my machine

-sent on a 9070 XT device

POST ROOMS

I updated my drivers

I've seen a ton of people online saying the new geforce driver has bugs or something. And I started looking it up, after I started getting some artifacts myself. Got a fucking mini-heart attack, since it's a new GPU. But I rolled back the drivers and haven't seen them since then.

Newer nvidia drivers have been fucked

he boughted Nvidia

Lack of endgame content and a very sparse update window.

too easy no interest to play updates when they die in 10 minutes and the cat is op casuls think they are good but the cat does all the work

Ichinose will save the series (again)

like dragon's sugma, monster hunter was astroturfed either by a chinese, or indian sweatshop. they pumped the fake numbers as high as they could, and then dropped it as soon as the actual players dropped off.

Ending hunts immediately is soulless.
This is the number one reason why Wilds is flopping.

on par, which is to say it's one of the worst monster hunter games. wilds is everything worldies asked for, doubled down: no content, nuked difficulty, brown "people", endless dialog, and an ugly handler. couple in the ultra epic story, and you have the perfect game for worldies/normies; open world sloppa that gets stale instantly.

here's a steam chart that makes me laugh.

The game was bad

It was advertised too heavily all the normalfag cattle that buy every game streamers play have essentially memoryholed this game because they don’t want to admit they are cattle

those reviews are not because of the game itself, but because it's the most technically broken game ever made. No other game runs this bad while looking like a late ps3 game

unreal engine 5

not shit

Unreal Stutter 5: Ghosting
