why i HATE Monster Hunter Wilds

A new video. So recently I've been playing

Monster Hunter Wilds, the latest

installment in the Monster Hunter series,

and as an avid fan of Monster Hunter

games, I knew I just had to play this

game. Unfortunately, so far it's been very

glitchy, poorly optimized, bland, boring,

and lacking in a certain kind of luster.

So the optimization for PC is extremely

poor, as you can see the glitching and the

frame rate issues that I'm experiencing

right now, and I'm using a high-end gaming

laptop with an RTX 4050 graphics card and

it seems to be struggling to play this

game even on low settings. The graphical

fidelity does look okay sometimes when

it's not glitching out, but for the

majority of the time it seems to suffer a

lot of problems. Now when you're not

destroying monsters, you've got this

boring phase in the game where you're just

constantly talking to boring NPCs and

having to follow the main quest characters

around whilst they engage in really dull

and drab dialogue. There's way too many

cutscenes. Thankfully, you can skip all of

the cutscenes and you can skip through the

dialogue, but still, this is a very

lengthy process and it's very

time-consuming having to go through this.

It's extremely boring having to follow the

NPCs like this on your mount.

So there'll be periods in the game where

you've got to follow this band of

adventurers on your mount and you

basically just go on auto-follow. You

can't skip this, you can't make this go

faster. The only thing you can do is aim

at the reagents and the ingredients and

resources that you can pick up using your

grappling hook. But apart from that,

there's not really much else you can do.

It's basically like a roller coaster

simulation that moves very slowly. You

can't even use your sprint. You can't even

break free and move around on your own. I

don't understand the point of this part of

the game. It's extremely boring. So once

you've finally gotten to the camp, the

main campsite, or the next campsite that

you've been walking to, You basically just

get a hub of NPCs, usually the same NPCs

like the armor person, the vendor person,

and you basically just have to walk around

talking to the NPCs. So you got one over

there and then you got one over here, and

I don't know why they think this is

engaging gameplay. It's so boring. I just

want to kill stuff. I don't want to listen

to all these NPCs' life stories and their

life problems. So I don't know why it's

glitching so badly like this. It usually

isn't this bad. But it seems like when it

starts loading a new area, it can be very

glitchy and the frame rate is just

terrible. Like, the game doesn't look that

good and it shouldn't be this graphically

demanding, but for some reason it's like

really struggling and stuttering. So then

you gotta talk to all these people and

go through all the dialogue that I don't

even care about. We'll find her, I

promise. And then you gotta go to the next

location, which is where you're gonna

fight the big monster. And basically all

the monster fights are all the same. You

go up against some kind of big giant beast

who'll thrash around and roll at you and

attack you, and all you gotta do is spam

your attacks over and over again. And then

what usually happens, you go to the next

waypoint and some kind of big monster is

probably gonna spawn over here. Let me

guess, it's gonna drop from the roof.

Skip this cutscene. Okay, so we got

a quest. It's basically just kill big

monster, and this is what happens every

single time you go up against one of

these. And also, for some reason,

whenever you mount, it always switches to

your ranged weapon, which is really

annoying. And I don't know how to switch

it back to my melee weapon without getting

back on the mount. So you gotta get back

on the mount and then you switch the

weapon. Like that. For some reason when

you mount it switches your weapon, which

is really annoying because you have to

keep mounting. And then you just— you can

do this thing where you can jump on top of

it and stab it in the head, which doesn't

really do much damage. So you do

this and then you just keep doing this

until you run out of stamina and you fall

off basically. And then you just keep

spamming your heavy attack and Over and

over and over.

It's a very slow, tedious process killing

these monsters.

It's not even fun though,

it's just annoying. I just feel like,

come on, is it gonna die already? And I

hate it when it runs off and then you

gotta chase it to the next zone. I guess

it gives you a chance to heal up and

stuff.

So the, the combat system is so clunky and

slow.

So you charge up heavy attacks. The combat

system is just very boring.

You don't really have any abilities, but

at least in Elden Ring you've got stuff

like your Ashes of War, different

abilities and skills. This one you can do

a horizontal attack and a vertical attack,

and then you can hold it down to charge it

up, and then you can do like a wound

attack where you, you target a little red

thing. And then healing is really annoying

as well. You hold down this menu And then

she puts the weapon away, and then you can

heal.

This is basically all you're going to be

doing in the game for pretty much the

entire time.

And then if you die, you've got to start

all over again.

Oh God.

For some reason I keep facing the other

way when I'm charging up an attack.

Oh my God.

Aiming for the wound doesn't even do that

much damage. Charge up heavy attack.

Another one.

Oh my god. And then you keep getting

knocked over, it takes ages to get back up

Yeah, and then it'll run away, and then

you'll get back on the mount, and then it

will switch to your ranged weapon, so

you'll then switch back to your melee

weapon. I don't know why it automatically

switches to your range weapon every time

you mount, and you gotta chase it,

and then it will start,

and you can call SOS.

Why aren't I healing? I'm pressing the

heal and

the SOS thing takes ages to actually

activate.

Also, you can't pause the game. If you

press pause, it just brings up the menu.
