Ok? If you have a problem with my thread report it and move on instead of shit posting in it.
Given that MH: Wilds is garbage, what MH title did you go back to playing?
- Thread starter I collect VHS tapes
- Start date
I'm suprised it's a common opinion now. Of course i agree (garbage is quite a strong word of course but it's a detail), i think the narrative when it launched, besides what was related to performance, was that the game was great. Of course we always have to wait for the hysteria to settle and get real opinions.
But what about the updates ? They seemed decent but that didn't bring back people ?

What's wrong with it?

You'll get a million answers depending who you ask ranging from poor story to significant performance issues, but for me, it's all the changes that just make the game overall more brainless and easy
I also hate what they did with the Seikret, it basically puts the game on auto pilot and makes you feel like you're playing a mobile game.

If a person had never played a monster hunter game would it be a good intro?

I think what people generally recommend is world + expansion if you want a game that feels a little bit more grounded in realism and rise if you want something that feels a little bit more arcade, faster style
I've also noticed that world has fashion that tends to be a little bit more grounded in what people really used to wear, whereas rise has a little bit more anime style
I don't think you can go wrong with either and you could pick up either for like a few bucks. They're constantly on sale.

Been down hill ever since.
The frame rate in the camps is really what was giving me trouble. Anywhere in the game where you had more than a handful of NPCs the frame rate tanked.

People should stop referencing data that makes me feel uncomfortable because games get ported to platforms I don't like
The best way to answer this is that the franchise was considered "niche" in the West and had a very specific game loop and very specific player friction designed into the game but Capcom wanted the franchise to sell better in the west so they water down the very specific player experience and player friction in order to appeal to....."casual western gamers" with Monster Hunter World and their gambit payed off with the franchise taken off Worldwide to the lament of their loyal original players/fans who weren't exactly thrilled with the changes.
In Monster Hunter Wilds they wanted to once again catch lightning in a bottle and sell even more so their thinking process was to water down the experience and player friction even more and while this did seem to work in the short term outside their 1st month sale they had a 98% sales fall off were even older Monster Hunter titles are selling more than Wilds these days.
The issue is that they made the experience so easy even players who started playing the franchise with Monster Hunter World noticed it and quickly abandon the game but this is without even mentioning all of the technical issues the game has had since launch because they rushed the release to met some sales goals to their investors.
None of this matters to a new player like yourself but if I had to recommend one I would say start with Monster Hunter World because I'm hesitant to recommend older games in the franchise beyond that.

Who cares about some drop off, that doesn't mean the game is "garbage". That's what I mean with speak for yourself.

Wilds has around 20-30k daily players which is about what World had when it was the only one on PC. Yeah, it failed to retain its launch playerbase but it was highly unlikely they were going to stay anyway. The more likely explanation is that there's only a certain amount of people that truly like hunting games and we've reached the point we're they're the ones sticking with the game long term. If anything, the fact that World has dropped down to half it's old daily players which it retained even after Rise (barring sales spikes) indicates that some already moved on. Whether they moved on to Wilds is up for debate.

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
There's more people playing previous entries than the most recent one.
Sure we can take some conclusions out of that, no?

Indeed, both Sunbreak and Iceborne have over twice the content and are complete with master rank, which is where the "real" game begins for many of us. Wilds is only the base game and even that is not content complete. There is a huge surge of players with every update, but the content is not quite enough yet so people return to the previous games once they are done, I do the same. When Gogmazios releases next month there will again be a huge player surge which will die down once people are done with it within a couple of weeks. This is the normal MH cycle.

If this game just would have had what is monster hunter it would have continued to have fantastic numbers of players. But nope, they casualized the fuck out of it and here we are now. And im not talking just making harder monsters but all there was in between, like go and play a older mh or just world.

I played some World, but am sticking with Wilds when there are content updates and will be returning for Master Rank once that's ready. Wilds is still the best playing game in the series, by far, even if it's too streamlined and easy. Hopefully they'll get performance and content right, adjust difficulty and we'll be back to top tier MH. Right now World is a better game, but that's because of Iceborne.
