Hey everyone, I'm surprised this doesn't already have a topic for this game, I see it has had a lot of flack for having bad optimization on PC or something along those lines, I am playing on PS5 and have been having a blast.

They have Squads in this game, it would be cool if we made a TL Squad to play together, it has been a blast so far.

My PS5 Username is TelecomShetland

hit me up dudes lets play

I'm on a PS5 and have had a wonderful experience so far, I was really surprised to see that the game had Mixed reviews on Steam, but with bad optimization for PC / a lot of users on Steam are complaining about having issues running the game on PC I can't really say whether or not it'd be a good idea to get it now on PC or if it will work with a 3060, I'm sure they will fix this though.

Anyone on PS5 want to play / start a TL Squad?

With framegen you can, otherwise I'd say "not really".
Even 4080s have to rely on framegen, and 4090s can barely get unstable 60fps without framegen.
My own 7900XTX gets ~240 fps with framegen, and about 40-60 fps wiithout framegen, on high/ultra settings.

It's really horribly optimized for now. On top of that add Denuvo which further tarpits the performance.

edit: on PC you can still download the benchmark on Steam. Althought it won't be as precise as the beta/stresstest client we had before, it should still be 'ballpark' accurate.

I'm running it with a 3070 and a 5700x3d. It's playable on medium, but a lot of work/optimising needs to be done. Texture pop in is significant no matter what graphics card you have.

If you care about graphics, then I'd recommend playing something else for now and waiting for them to sort a few things out. If you don't care about graphics, then your 3060 will be able to run things with 50-60 fps.

It's a shame because everyone is praising the gameplay.

It's on top of my list after I'm done with KC:D2

As far as the comments here and on steam suggest, I can take my sweet time until all the problems are fixed.
For PC Players: How are the controls with M+K? Or are those badly optimized as well?

I don't know if I'll ever be done with KCD2.
By the time I've finished the first playthrough hardcore mode will be out lol, then the game really starts.

Game is incredible with 2 caveats: the story sucks and the performance issues on PC are certainly there. If your PC is older than 5 years I wouldn't even bother.

Otherwise it's amazing. Can't recommend highly enough. All 14 weapons feel good, the new monster designs are cool, the variety is immense, biomes really interesting.

Frame generation is mandatory though and I'd recommend playing the first 3 chapters solo

Is that Alpha Numerical Code for your Squad or your ID? Still learning about this game lol, I am currently level 15 and still haven't caught a monster lol, the UI can be overwhelming for me as a strictly RTS player.... It seems as if there is just so many things to do.

I am playing a full Bowgun Style ( I know this is probably a weak way to play the game at this point, but then again I am not completely sure LOL )

I have to constantly be running / microing / shooting and dodging, in this sense it has been incredibly fun, although I have only blocked incoming monster attacks with Guard like once or twice lol

I am still having a blast though, it is definitely a game that will be more fun with friends, lets go!

That's my friend code ID. I'm not in a squad. I'm only HR5 at the moment (story feels to be taking a long fucking time to get through. I think most people just skip the story and hunt like madmen to get mats for weapons/armors. But some stuff is locked behind the story/levels, so progression is a thing. I'm trying to rush through the story as well so I can get to the other stuff.

I'm playing Insect Glaive and it's fun. A learning curve with the Kinesct (I didn't know that the stuff we're given is base form and we can purchase more base forms and change the properties. IF I HAD KNOWN!)

I have a higher end PC and it works perfectly well for me. I can't comment on lower end PCs though. If you have PS5, I'd just go that route unless you want to do some modding.

So I've gone over 100 HR and my thoughts are:
1) Combat gameplay is nice. It's more refined than World and isn't as ridiculous and busted as Rise. Balance is overall in an OK spot although certain weapons are pretty clearly more broken than others.
2) Story was about 10 hours, and then flowed into high rank fairly smoothly. Alma is a good handler and the NPCs overall are more likeable and 'dependable' than the garbage cast that was World. Surprisingly did a not terrible job here, though I wasn't expecting MH to go in that direction (although there have obviously been signs). Not sure I like the direction but whatever. I appreciated that the protag was clearly brought along as a veteran, ace hunter and was treated as such throughout the story.
3) Unfortunately you can see them changing direction on map design after the first one, maybe two areas as you go from vibrant, wide-open ecosystems to dark janky corridors. You can sense the level designers having like a clear constricted goal in mind and it's a staggering drop in quality and quality of life as you go from feeling like you're fighting in an area vs. fighting inside these tiny ass hallways all the time. To be honest it kind of sucks.
4) The loss of functionality is very noticeable. No farm (though you do get access to a similar equivalent I suppose), no mine, no personalized cabin where you can show collectibles, just a hub NPC that gives you access to random tradeables and free-stuff-over-time. Ship merchant also only shows at one of the area hubs. You have to enter the tent every time to restock items and change equipment instead of simply being able to access a chest, which adds to load times and such. It's not the biggest of deals but adds to the relative lack of content.
5) 28 monsters, which is more than base World but still sort of a shame considering this game was in like 8 years of development. There're a few cameo monsters who come in with only a variant instant of the original, which is really weird. Other monsters simply don't have any variants. I'm not sure what's up with this but it kinda reeks of Wild Hearts.
6) They still haven't learned a lesson about end-game variety. Considering they have a quest difficulty (1-8) and monster difficulty (1-5?) they could have easily adjusting things so you can get a 5* tempered Barbara become a 7* quest and thus drop r8 artians and r6 decos, but they didn't, which forces you to grind all of like 4 monsters nonstop for a gacha game end game. It's sort of dumb and reduces replayability.
7) End game weapon grind is the pits. I don't think they needed to have learned a lesson from Genshin Impact but here we are.
8) No colosseum, no more than two target monsters per hunt, no side quests to unlock equipment... there's just a painful content dearth. Enemies are also so easy that end-game speedruns are just trying to break 2 minute kills. That's insane. It's just weird - I get that they're trying to target a more casual audience than like Nightreign but this is on some other extreme. I don't intrinsically have an issue with relatively not difficult combat but at a certain point it combines with the lack of enemy variety and turns into "do you want to slag the same 4 monsters for 3 minute hunts for hours and hours in order to Genshin Impact a weapon that helps turn your run from a 3:00 kill into a 2:55 kill? I'm not advocating for big power scaling but it's very demotivating.

I still enjoyed the game and got 60+ hours from it and I have friends who've gotten like 100+ hours from this (idk how they live), but I also agree with JP reviews more-or-less leaning toward "if you must have MH and you can't wait until like Nightreign it's a good core game, but if you can wait you can just wait until more TUs or until the equivalent of Iceborne."

I think that's a fair review. I haven't made it to your level and I've got about 35 hours into the game, so I might get your sentiment soon lol.

I know they released the roadmap of what they want to do and more monsters are coming, as well as DLC. I don't know how big the next expansion will be, but I think it'll be fairly large. Hopefully we get it by end of the year since they released so early. If we get it around end of summer, it'll be awesome. GTA6 is probably going to no-life a ton of people, so they need to maximize their time.

One, maybe two monsters are coming in about 3-4 weeks. Then maybe one or two monsters in like 3-6 months (given that they said summer). Iceborne was like 1.5? years after World, so it'll likely be a while.

I mean, I'm still optimizing and trying to get the right stats for my Artian. I know there's farming and everything like you said, and I'll probably get into it. But I'm also not trying to no-life the game lmao. If I do that, it'll ruin it for me later on and I probably won't pick it up again.

I'm also probably skipping Nightreign as well since it just doesn't look like something I'd enjoy. Opinion might change but atm, that's a pass for me. Next games are AI Limit and Berserker Khazan. After that who knows.

But I'm about to get into Wilds so if you want to add and we can do some hunts together, feel free.

My biggest issue is input lag. I'm using controller and it doesn't always respond immediately. Wanna hop off the mount? Try 4-5 times. Maybe get a lucky 1 shot. Whistle for the mount? Same thing. It's frustrating as shit lol.

But so far, I haven't had too many performance issues. Everything is running smooth enough that it doesn't take away from my experience.

World ran really well for me, so I really don't get why this is having so much inconsistent framerate. Got my partner a ps5 copy to play along and now I am jealous haha

Does your HR automatically rank up to 50 after the last Arkveld hunt? I was stuck at HR 40 for the longest and then everything opened up after that. If so, then it's about to go down. I'll keep playing until I can get all the armors/weapons I want, but I dunno how much more after that. More games are about to drop that I need to get on.

I forget HR bumps exactly but yes HR is story locked, then jumps to a certain point and then you just gain HR normally via hunts after that. If you completed the last hunt and hit 50 then it's the usual end-game content grind after that.

Figured as much. There was some cool ass armors that I want to get, so I'll grind for that. I wanna get to 100 but we'll see if I survive that long. First Berserker and AI Limit are next up I think.

Finallygot my Dahaad armor. Now to grind and get the Gore armor. I was close to getting everything I need but I made the mistake of joining a lobby and some random got us killed. So close.

Now I'm HR60 and it's still pretty fun to play.

I haven't really researched what the Artian weapons should be. I did a Fire and left it at that. Hunts still take time, but I chalk it to skill issue.

Have made some more, seems like for pretty much every melee you want Attack/Attack/Attack for the parts, then hope you get 4 attack and 1 sharpness on your rolls. Blast/sleep or para depending on preference.

Affinity rolls don't seem necessary, they come with 5% base so you're hitting 90% affinity with 2 piece set bonus from + Show Spoiler [lategame monster] +
gore magala
, WEX and max might, 100% affinity on wounds. Can easily fill in the last 10% with either a point in latent power or some points in expert/agitator if you really want to.

I have no idea what's optimal for ranged

, WEX and max might, 100% affinity on wounds. Can easily fill in the last 10% with either a point in latent power or some points in expert/agitator if you really want to.

I have no idea what's optimal for ranged

I'll take a screenshot of my build and post it for you. It's probably pretty nonstandard but it works for me. I'm not trying to speedrun the hunts, so it works for me.

I'll post this since no one has yet.

I'll be in Japan when this all goes down, so I'm definitely grabbing a ton of merch in Akihabara and Lawsons lol.

The new update is out and it's pretty challenging. At least Zoh Shia. I can solo Mitsuzune no problem. Zoh Shia is a bitch if you're not on top of your game. Had 4 people struggle bussing for 2 hours trying to get his ass. Got enough mats to craft half of his armors though lmao.

The Grand Hub is pretty cool, I went into a lobby and just walked around for a bit before I started the hunts. I'm sure it'll get better over the weekend with everyone off work.

I haven't tried any of the arenas yet as that's not reallymy forte on this game. I read that there was someone who was at the top with a 0'0" time. So they'll be banned I'm assuming. I don't get the purpose of cheating in games like this at all but who am I?

Overall, with the DLC and the cosmetics/armors/weapons/hunts, this is a really solid Title Update.

finally upgraded to a new desktop with 9070xt and now it runs pretty smooth at 4K. the higher resolution texture just doesn't work though, it reloads the texture non stop, making the game extremely laggy.

Overall I think the game is just one easy smooth ride, even zoh shia is very easy once you understand how to deal with that large area damage.

The monsters need some serious buff to keep up with all the additional things they added since World imo. They die too quickly, they can't land their hit easily, even basic block now can deal with 80% of all the attacks in the game if not more.

Play IG and let me know what you think. Zoh Shia sucked at debut to fight with IG because the spots were just not there for me to get a good snatch. I think if I went back in now, I'd probably be able to solo or run through it with 1 other person.

They've got the kill down to sub-4 minutes, so it is probably dying really fast (probably helps some people are no-lifing it and getting BiS for fights).

I never tried IG but I can give it a go. I killed it pretty consistently with GS, SnS and gun lance, with SnS I don’t even need a potion for multiple runs now that I have the Zoh Shia armor set
I think the only one that feels like a proper challenging is tempered mizutsune, with pretty high damage and even one-shot move

Latest update is fun. I haven't played in almost 3 months lol. With the games and then the trip to Tokyo, I'm booty at IG right now. (Sidenote: I went to Osaka and saw the MH cafe. Forgot to go back and check it out -_-; I know...)

IG is fun to play just needs to make sure all your key binds makes sense. Since you can hold right click and do your left click and release it for to do big damage, and making sure you don't accidentally spend the powers while doing big damage.

It's a lot easier than it seems, but can be very intimidating at first.
Mostly a troll, bi-polar by design, occasionally brain malfunction. Please forgive me. xD

I'll try to get online one of these days. Got a massive backlog of PS5 games that I'm trying to get through at the moment. Not even going to look at Steam or Epic games I've gotten but haven't looked at lol

Just been...busy with everything.
