A half broken piece of full price software runs terrible on all platforms and you make this about imaginary pc entitlement. holy shit.....
You´re a customer, get over this retarded platform warring and demand that you get good quality for your money.

Its not platform warring, its the reality of having spent a great many years in dev and knowing that when people say "based on this amount of grunt required, why doesn't this game run like x other game which is vaguely, superficially, similar ?" They really do not understand what they are talking about.

Its cringe-inducing to see such a reductive way of thinking that it makes "judging a book by its cover" seem sophisticated.

People being disappointed on how a new game looks and runs on their expensive devices is cringe-inducing? The dev perspective means nothing when the consumer clearly sees problems with the product. No level of "you just don't understand" will make me okay with how this game graphically looks and runs.

more apologetic nonsense.
Games don`t exist in a vacuum they are in a competitive market and have to live with comparisons. This tech we get here is at least a full gen behind the competition while still running worse than games like CP2077 with activated PT which si something MH can`t even dream about.....

This "it`s complicated" bullshit is just that, incredible bullshit.

The game looks like an PS4 game graphically, should run fine even on low end gpus like the 4060… Stop pretending that the game is a looker and we need a NASA pc to run the game fine.
Its not a looker nor optimized well. People needs to remember that when discussing its performance.

My guy, the minimum requirements are literally below the series s. People at that level already knows their place and don't expect modern AAA games to run all that well.

Ugh, yeah, this is true. Honestly, I don’t even get what all the back-and-forth is about, I didn't say ALL the bad reviews. I said A LOT of them because I see A LOT come from people who don’t even list their specs, which is pretty sus in my opinion. Complaints like 'herp derp, shader loading takes 30 minutes' without mentioning what hard drive the game is installed on is completely meaningless to me. Shader compilation took around 10 minutes for me, which was long IMO but it's the first run soo...

One thing I suspect is that Capcom screwed up visuals at 1080p because when I run it at 4k it looks remarkable, but at 1080p it looks washed out and blurry. Not sure if that has to do with the High Resolution DLC or not.

Also, my Black character looked brown in character creation but turned into straight charcoal in-game. Honestly, an improvement, character creation seemed to only allow light-skinned Black options anyway.

i9 13900k (weakest link IMO)
RTX 4090
SSD Crucial T705

Edit: I'm at work right now otherwise I'd share screenshots. And when I get home, I’ll be too busy playing and sipping bourbon to give a damn.

FOMO is hitting me hard right now
Game needs patches and a full-version will come out in like a year. I'd wait.

I knew this was gonna do huge CCUs. Didn’t expect 1M+ tho.
Yeah same, but I guess it makes sense if we consider it's the first ever monhun game to arrive day 1 on PC.

Somehow they've actually managed to make it even worse than in the beta. The game is very unstable and I have significantly less fps than before.

I cry about Xbox and hate PlayStation.
Imo the game is poorly optimized on every platform, it's worth waiting a few weeks or months to get a better experience.

Might as well wait for the first title updates that will add some proper challenges.

Always surprised by all those brazen, wild lies that nobody ever seems to care about.

Even the 4070 family is more than 5% of Steam users according to the last survey.
runs well and looks great on my ps5 pro (performance mode), at least i dont need to worry about framerate issues.

Dear lord. I get that some of you live off your console-warrying supply but come on, have some standards.

It's the best console version for sure... but the modes are 1080p 60 fps with dips, 1728p 30 fps or 1404p 40 fps.

I wouldn't call that an optimization masterpiece, more like adding raw power to fix the issue.

DF says it best:
Instead, we get image quality and performance pairings that a lot of players would have reasonably expected from the base PS5, with a 1080p60-like frame-rate mode and two lower performance modes with better image quality and limited RT.

Is this game a Chinese thing? Absolutely insane CCU, but I only ever hear about this game on gaf. It is like the gaming equivalent of Avatar. Insanely popular, but I don't know anyone who plays this game.

On PS5 Pro it's a 9, I hear this sucks on PC, so just get an alternative machine to play it on? Sometimes PC just isn't the best platform lately I guess.

Need a link to purchase one, lol?

You'll need one for GTA eventually anyway. I think because they know most players are on Playstation they want to make sure that has consistent performance before worrying about PC. Isn't that how everyone does nowadays? With Nvidia going off the rails with the price and microstutter in almost every(other) game with the devs blaming the engine-makers and vice versa makes you wonder if the PC still has the same old magic. I mean, if you could download adult content on PS5 Pro you wouldn't need a PC at all. Free your gaming from the whims of your gooning and join the new, young, hip, slick, smooth, sexy, clean, PS5 Pro Master Race.

But I did notice that when I switched from 4K to 1080p (just out of curiosity), the colors looked washed out and the details were blurry. Then again, I’m 52 years old, so it might just be my aging eyes. Or, maybe I missed something like turning on HDR? Who knows? Will check when I get home from work.

Yeah, Monster Hunter is huge in Asia, China especially. This is likely part of the reason Capcom chose PC as their main platform. They're reaching people they previously weren't.

Don't forget this when you leave work.

The Chinese are responding accordingly in the review section. Clearly their tolerance for the gash PC performance is much lower than the rest of the world's.

Stolen from the Installbase CCU thread. Records will be smashed this weekend. TintoConCasera TintoConCasera help me, brother. I'm getting weak.

Just wait for the best possible version my man, the one that's fully patched and has all the monsters already.

Plus, modern gaming has taught me that it's best to wait until the honeymoon phase is over before even trusting other people's takes on the game.
 
Have all their games suffered on pc? Crazy to think their largest platform is the one with the most issues.
Not really.
Capcom doesn't even make pc ports for in-house projects, they've been building pc first and then achieving console parity for 20 years now even when not releases a pc version right away, so if anything their console versions are ports and pc are the best versions of their games.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Probably gonna surpass Lost Ark and become #5 top concurrent played game on Steam.


Amazing success for CapGOD!

Too true.

Only 29 large monsters in this.

There were 36 in World and I remember that feeling light.

Monster Hunter Tri launched with only 18 lol. I somehow sunk 300 hours into that on Wii.

totally understandable with the bad reviews. if your game keeps crashing or can't boot up on release, those bad reviews are well deserved. that being said, I played this with my friend and his wife for like 6 hours last night when it dropped. I think she had one crash and was able to get back in without issues. and no problems at all with me and my friend. we're all pretty happy with the game so far.
