Do i need to pay like a month of ea pass or some shit? Or i just need to have origins store in my pc?EA play 10 hour trial
Tbh i never liked demo for hunting games, i need a properly paced introduction to all the aspects of the game to really enjoy the experience.

It's just 10 hours playtime, you can do the tutorial, what is less than stellar, but then you can roam the first area ten hours and hunt three different monsters & get a feel for the mechanics and how the game plays.

So i don't need to pay any ea bullshit fee?
Neat.
I already know that i'm gonna try like 15 min and then just create a new chara in mhw

You won't, Wild Hearts is a great MH clone with the building adding a real fun mechanic to set it apart from MH.

I hate building mechanics of any sort
Can you play proficently without using them at all?
One of the tutorial area didn't give me Monster Hunter vibes - but briefly felt like Dark Souls.
The bosses in Monster Hunter all have some pretty big tells that telegraph what they're going to do, while you also have some weapons that leave you open if you commit to an attack at the wrong time. The first boss at least feels like it doesn't play by that mechanic at all.
The building mechanic hasn't clicked with me yet - I keep expecting an anthropomorphic cat to pop out of the ground to build something while I'm busy fighting. Fights feel oddly lonely without a talking cat speaking in puns at my side.
I'll dig more into it, but between this, Hogwarts, and my PS5 run of MH:Rise I'll be going back and forth a lot.

I said the exact same thing...I hate building mechanics of any sort

But using them to make shortcuts round the map, or a spring board across a gap, or zipwire up a tall mountain etc or even in attacks (can ignore if you want)
It's surprisingly good, and other players may have put building stuff elsewhere, when you visit their worlds to hunt.
It's was the one thing I was most worried about and thought I wouldn't like, but it's great.
Also no sharpening weapons I don't miss that at all. (Then again it looked silly on MH on some weapons, why is my hunter sharpening the weapon handle)
No long animations for gathering resources.
It's got a lot of stuff I like more than MH, to my surprise.
I think the combat might even be more enjoyable too

Sorry you do need a month or ea play, it's £3.99 last I check, but I have game pass ultimate so I have never thought about it solo, as it just comes with something I already pay for (sorry for confusion)So i don't need to pay any ea bullshit fee?
Neat.

Don't worry, i kinda knew that there wasn't a free demo.

I don't wanna sound like an old men yelling at building mechanics, but i really don't give a damn about any of that, sorry.
I hated building stuff in death stranding and that was a similar approach (kinda)
Combat from the videos seems more arcadey, less deep and weighty than mhw, all stuff that i don't like.
If you played mhw, can you tell if the characters are as weighty or more like rise?
anthony2690
Member
I haven't played world since I was done with Iceborne, I think characters feel weighty, but couldn't say more or less without playing it again.
But I'd have to boot up mhw again and compare again.
Wonder if mhw is 60fps on series X.

HDR is completely broken, disabled on series X improved the look alot. Game has its moments visually.

HDR in this game is the fakest HDR implementation i've ever seen.

I hate building mechanics too. And I just started death stranding and was enjoying it and now you’ve told me there’s building! Noooo
The building mechanic and especially when it comes to level design ideas is the biggest strenght of this game. And it stays accessible, in or out of combat, it's really nothing overly complex or something that breaks pacing i think.
Still, to me the monsters are just not as fun to hunt as the ones from Monster Hunter. The weapons can be satisfying to use but quickly redundant and the way the monsters work with patterns that are locked on you is the easy option from the devs. The positioning is not very demanding even though it still matters but it's more about last second dodges even in the very beginning. It feels less precise and believable than MH and at the same time more conventional.

I literally avoided any of that and just used the power\speed legs lv3 to do all the deliveries.
I fucking hated the driving aswell so on foot was the only chance.

I've seen so much hate bc of the graphics, but this is way better to me than the MH games. Boss fights are challenging and unique and the building mechanic isn't hard to use

In really enjoying the game so far. Been using the bow, really like it's mechanics. The area are very large and being able to set up short cuts, tents, and other things adds a lot. No more running around forever following monster that run in the fight. Just quick travel to a camp close to it or using the vine launcher to cross areas and have your own travel network.
The karkurai or whatever the building things are are great in battle to. As offensive and defense and have dramatic effects that benefit you.
I'm enjoying this more than monster hunter, it's a very nice breath of fresh air for the genre

After watching all the weapons guide from cowboy and rurikhan i must say that the weapons seems one of the things they got right, i'm actually thinking about doing a month of ea pass to play this thing.
Maybe after a couple of patches to fix the shitty performances i'm gonna try it.
Hopefully people is gonna continue to play this thing for a long time like they do with mh games.
The hammer seems more fun in mh tho.

Took a look at EA Play cause I was interested in this game and other stuff EA is coming out with this year. Who is this for? I thought you would be able to get day 1 releases for their games but all you get is a lousy discount. I checked their library of available games, super small and disappointing choices. Guess I'll wait for a price drop on Wild Hearts.
Edit: Was looking at the PlayStation version which only has the Basic EA Play. On PC you can get EA Play Pro which does include new games.

I love World, I like Rise, so far I'm loving WH too. Though at this stage the design of the monsters I've seen is kinda meh.
GymWolf

Yeah, monster design sucks asses from what i saw.
Some are good but just not on mh level.
Are movements and weight more like world or more like rise?
Same for weapons impacts, rise felt much worse compared to world.
Last edited:
Yeah the monster design is simply large ass mutated animals. I'm only at start of chapter 2 but so far it's mostly giant rodents and a few birds lol.
Movement/weight is floaty kinda so I guess more like Rise but tbh I don't see much between World and Rise for this aspect.
Weapon impact definitely not on same level as World but to be fair I only used the Nodashi (great sword).

What did the update do for the PS5 version today?
I’m only seeing PC patch notes everywhere I look.

I had the strangest encounter. I fought the "chicken monster" and it was incredibly gorgeous. Literally stunning. Breathtakingly beautiful.
But this only lasted for about 10 minutes. The world popped into beta development mode. I can see the vision of the developers, I remember MHW started out in need of several fixes. I just hope the devs release the necessary patches asap.

I'm trying the 10 hours try on pc, the game seems good but holy shit the performance are fucking horrible.
This thing make look gotham knights like a superb port.
This shit is not even stable at 1440p (while having one of the worse graphic i saw in years) and it gets even worse in multyplayer.
How the fuck can you release a game that require precise inputs and movements in these conditions?
Do you people have any hints on how to improve performances?

Mhw was in much better condition than this thing performance wise, not even close.

Yeah, i found more people playing mhw than this game when i searched from coops.
Performance are too much dog shit for how the game looks.

Something to do with changing audio, I posted about it prior.
Performance Fix? [My wonky work around] :: WILD HEARTS™ General Discussions
Im not sure why or how, but upon downloading the game on medium and high settings the overlay stated i was getting 60 fps but it felt more like 20. I was ready to wait to refund the game when my friend noted that he had put his headphone on and his problems went away and now the game was butter...
I'm about 11 hours into the game now, as I finished HWL & really enjoying myself, think I'm about to start chapter 2, performance is very smooth on consoles with update 1.5 (i also use vrr)
I think Tecmo Koei games oddly struggle horrifically on pc, as ni oh and wo long have performance issues too :/

Those comments are old, they probably fixed that with the recent patch 1.05 but i'm gonna try anyway, thanks.

Finally came around to try it via GP and .....holy balls.
I thought Koei Tecmo had dropped the ball with the tech of Wo Long, but Wild Hearts is in its very own league of technological incompetence.
The graphics look worse than MH:Ryse at times thanks to that vaseline-smear effect that made it impossible for me to simply get crisp edges. The popin is also omnipresent and a lot of textures and assets look like they are straight out of the ps3 era.... and after all that it still has worse framedrops than Cyberpunk with RT on psycho on my 3080.....
I´m a MH addict...and yet this game isn`t worth a second look imho.

Just downloaded the demo, it wont start. It crashes everytime the game is trying to load. That cannot be a good sign. Lol.
Edit: got it to work by redownloading the trial. The game is fantastic really. But the performance is really rough. I really prefer this over Monster Hunter Rise but man I just cannot get over that framerate drops and low quality textures.

Had the same problem. Solution: You have to download the trail completely.
Finished the demo today: Amazing game. I will probably buy it soon. There are a few problems with the graphics on PS5, but I'm okay with that.
Edit: Bought it yesterday night.
