Looks like the physical version requires a day 1 update to play the game. Not playable off of the disc alone.

Capcom has confirmed a day one update for Monster Hunter Wilds…

[Icymanipulator]

It’s launching everywhere at the same time, so presumably, no.

Also: why does EVERYONE forget about Raider Rides in World?



Seems like everyone is having a big bitch fit about seikrets being able to auto pilot while you heal, sharpen, etc. That’s LITERALLY how raider rides worked in World. Why is this some huge new game killing feature to everyone NOW? People really got rose colored glasses regarding World.

Completely different and misses the point entirely. Can’t summon in combat, no free control, way more restrictive overall.

In other news,
Preload done, now all that’s left to do is wait. Have Friday and Monday off. It’s going to be gaming heaven.

 

[Danjin44]

I ordered the stealbook edition, so my copy arrives at Feb 28th.

God I'm soooooo hyped!

 

[Hot5pur]

Just learned that they are keeping the dumb system from World where each person has to watch the cutscene separately in a quest before being able to join their friend.
This made playing co-op in World extremely tedious and they got plenty of negative feedback, only to do the exact same thing again.
I think the idea is you want each person to feel the *joy* of discovering the monster on their own or something, so it would mean having to teleport the other players, or only having one main character in the cutscene.
I'm so conflicted on this game, if endgame is just story but with numbers go up, I'm going to wait for a deep sale and pick it up when they've done a bunch of QoL, and hopefully balanced story difficulty.
Seeing a ton of people who got soured on this game after reviews, still worthwhile probably, but not the day 1 megahype train that it was supposed to be especially following the masterpiece that is World.

My Physical copy arrives tomorrow so they better have that patch ready already.

 

[Danjin44]

When World first came out we had same exact drama with people shitting on the game both for “easy” difficulty and performance on PS4…..until Iceborne came out.

 

[Wooxsvan]

actually no. New zealand ps5 launches feb 28 midnight local time which means 6am feb 27 eastern US time. this is also why the last embargo is 6am. a little more than 8 hours from now

and don’t forget that the ps4 pro performance mode barely kept 45 fps

 

[Danjin44]

Yup, and we gone through again with Rise…….we are just repeating exact drama all over again.

 

[.Xeno]

Not sure if anyone post this but they have updated the community page for the weapon changes(Day 1 patch) - https://www.monsterhunter.com/wilds/en-au/community-update/

I was wrong; I was looking at PC times. I didn't notice that consoles were up to 18 hours ahead in eastern territories. Annoying.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Yup, and we gone through again with Rise…….we are just repeating exact drama all over again.

Hmmm not quite

We are getting a good ps5 pro version with a pretty locked 60 and much better IQ

Well papis, I dont know where to find time to play this but I just bought it for Steam

Let's go

The cutscene thingy is not exactly the same. Yes you can't watch cutscene together but the joining process is much better. Hard to explain but you will see.

Would you mind DMing me more info? A friend of mine literally went from day 1 to “no” because of this.

 

[LavitzSlambert]

Finally preordered my copy and am preloading. Went with the base game because I can't justify $20 to $40 for a few cosmetics that I won't even bother using.

 

[GymWolf]

Yup, and we gone through again with Rise…….we are just repeating exact drama all over again.

Dozens of people, veteran of mh included already said that it is much more easy than rise and world

A direct comparison is not just saying "the game is easy", it straight up tells you that the game is even easier than rise that was already much easier than world.

 

[Lokaum D+]

In worlds I ran bow and my wife ran dual blades, hopefully those are both still in cause we liked em. Trying not to look over too many previews/media to avoid spoilers. Is there a weapons guide anywhere that doesn't spoil anything in the game?

Bow now has aim bot, a lot of ppl ll main bow

 

[Lokaum D+]

Have they? The biggest complaints I'm hearing is that auto-piloting to the monster is ez baby mode, and being able to call your mount mid combat and sharpen/heal etc while moving makes the game so easy. You can do absolutely all of these in World. So what are the stark differences? I must have missed it. The only difference I'm aware of is that you can actually pilot your Seikret, where Raider Rides could not be player controlled directly.

The difference is that Seikret is available on the go, World raiders are hidden behind side Quest, so If you rush the game you ll probably not even get one till you look online and you need to do the side Quest for every map.

Seems like all the required game data is on the disc and can be played offline without the day 1 patch.

Edit: You need the day 1 update for online play though (duh).

 

[GymWolf]

Why would anyone start playing without the day one patch?

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Why would anyone start playing without the day one patch?

They obviously wouldn't, but from a preservation point of view, it's important to have an actual playable build of the game printed on the disc that can be installed and played offline, even if the build is old and comes with its own set of technical glitches and shortcomings.

 

[Solarstrike]

Just perfection man. Wow awesome OT thread Draugoth

 

[Yoshichan]

See ya later boysssss

 

[splattered]

Bow now has aim bot, a lot of ppl ll main bow

Aim bot wtf? Now I'm gonna look like a fool if I use it hahah oh well... it's my favorite weapon I'm not gonna avoid it because of that I guess :/

 

[Lokaum D+]

Aim bot wtf? Now I'm gonna look like a fool if I use it hahah oh well... it's my favorite weapon I'm not gonna avoid it because of that I guess :/

its basicaly the main feature of the bow right now

 

[Evolved1]

i was considering staying up till midnight and playing a couple hours... but i'm thinking the better play might be to go to bed super early and just wake up super early. then i can truly nolife without interruption lol.

 

[Aenima]

Sharpening my LS right now.

 

[TheKratos]

Would you mind DMing me more info? A friend of mine literally went from day 1 to “no” because of this.

When you have a linked party, you will automatically send out invite once your cutscene is over. However your co-op partner will get his own cutscene and has to fully watch it then he can accept your invite.

Basically it's kinda same World shit but with link party the person inviting doesn't need to do anything extra (no sos etc). The invitee however does have to accept invite (or maybe this can be auto accepted, didn't check settings).

 

[Zacfoldor]

Hello, thank you for the OT. I'm hyped about this one, but currently finishing my up Rogue on D4. Can't wait to play. Going to be playing on Pro. Glad the game got amazing reviews! I'm hoping this will be the most popular MH ever and the first one I'm really going to take a deep dive into. Until then enjoy your hunts gents and remember to keep your women loose, blades sharp, and powder dry!

 

[kazuyamishima]

My copy will be ready in a few hours, I just wake up to pee (it’s almost 3 am Friday time here in Kangaroo Land)

You gotta be kidding me. I thought there was no way they’d bring that back.

Japanese companies still have no clue how to craft seamless online experiences. The amount of hoops this series makes you jump through to play with friends has been absurd for years.

 

[Arsic]

I only enjoyed MH Rise and its expansion. World never got me into it, and prior games on mobile I never really messed with.

So far all intents and purposes this is my second MH game.

I don’t have a deep tie to the franchise so I’ll likely enjoy it more than veterans who have expectations in mind.

Me? I just want to hammer bonk each monster once and call it a wrap. Preloaded and ready to go for tonight on ps5 pro.

 

[darrylgorn]

[GymWolf]

See ya later boysssss

Wait until tomorrow, there is a chance that capcom is gonna rebalance weapons and mknster with the day one patch.

Not even joking or being envy, if i had the copy in my hand i will still wait for the day one patch to start playing.

(Probably some fix to performances aswell)

 

[GymWolf]

Btw, any chance for the game to unlock tonight at 00:00 on steam?

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Still think graphics kinda suck, but I caved and pre-ordered it anyway.

Hopefully I won't regret it.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Ready for the hunt

Runs great on my Pro, Performance Mode all the way. Visually it's going to take a lot of fiddling around with the HDR settings to get the right look, still not happy with it. Overall it could absolutely pass for a PS4 game though cutscenes can look more next-gen. I think the real difference will be seen in the animations/physics bit I need to spend a few hours with it to come a definitive conclusion. Either way I'm hyped to be in the MonHun universe again, nothing else quite like it

Dude named blunty has a video about color settings or some shit.

 

[Skifi28]

Getting home from work and firing it up, 5 hours to go.

 

[Danjin44]

I still have to wait until tomorrow since I ordered the physical copy.

When does it unlock for steam europe?

No idea, I'll be playing on a pro.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

No chance because steam always does global launches

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Dude named blunty has a video about color settings or some shit.

17 minute video for something that can be explained in 1 minute. Anyway, I saw it though his settings seem to be based on NOT using HDR. Already found a sweet spot experimenting myself.

So the usual tomorrow at 6pm then?!

Since i didn't watched the video yet, do you have a tldr? I'm not gonna use hdr like him.
