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. | ||

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. | ||

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? | ||

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 | ||

It seems as if there is just so many things to do.

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!) | ||

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 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. | ||

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. | ||

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. E: Happy birthday Southlight! | ||

+ Show Spoiler + I've just started making Artian weapons. They are allegedly the strongest if you get a good roll, but I'm finding them substandard even when I get the rolls I want. Anyone rolled anything really good they would recommend aiming for? Any weapon except Lance | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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 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 | ||
