0:00–0:01 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_0So recently I've been playing the brand

Segment details
0:06–0:08 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_3in general, I knew I just had to play this
Segment details
0:08–0:11 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_4game.
Segment details
0:11–0:11 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_5Unfortunately, so far it's been kind of
Segment details
0:11–0:13 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_6bland, boring, lacking in a certain kind
Segment details
0:13–0:15 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_7of luster, and also a little bit boring.
Segment details
0:15–0:19 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_8And as a Monster Hunter game goes, this
Segment details
0:19–0:22 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_9couldn't be more boring than it actually
Segment details
0:22–0:24 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_10is.
Segment details
0:25–0:25 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_11So basically, if you've ever played a
Segment details
0:25–0:27 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_12Monster Hunter game, it is exactly like
Segment details
0:27–0:29 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_13all the other Monster Hunters.
Segment details
0:29–0:30 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_14You have a map and and it's full of
Segment details
0:31–0:32 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_15monsters, and then you go and hunt them,
Segment details
0:32–0:33 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_16and then you fight these big dragons and
Segment details
0:34–0:35 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_17bosses and monsters that just knock you
Segment details
0:35–0:37 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_18back, and then you roll around, and then
Segment details
0:37–0:38 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_19you have to get up again.
Segment details
0:38–0:39 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_20And then you collect the reagents, the
Segment details
0:39–0:41 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_21reagents or the ingredients to craft stuff
Segment details
0:41–0:44 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_22in the village, and then you've got little
Segment details
0:44–0:45 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_23cute cat furry things, and it's just
Segment details
0:45–0:48 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_24basically exactly the same as every other
Segment details
0:48–0:51 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_25Monster Hunter game that has ever existed.
Segment details
0:51–0:53 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_26They haven't really done anything new.
Segment details
0:53–0:54 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_27The classes are basically the same.
Segment details
0:54–0:56 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_28You've got the gun lance thing with the
Segment details
0:56–0:57 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_29shield, and the rolly guy, and the dual
Segment details
0:57–0:59 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_30wielding sword guy, and the bowman.
Segment details
0:59–1:01 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_31So it's basically everything you
Segment details
1:01–1:01 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_32would expect from a Monster Hunter game
Segment details
1:03–1:05 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_33with no new innovation, very typical of
Segment details
1:05–1:07 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_34Capcom.
Segment details
1:07–1:08 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_35They're just not very good at making
Segment details
1:08–1:09 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_36games.
Segment details
1:09–1:10 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_37I can't think of a single Capcom game
Segment details
1:10–1:11 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_38that's actually any good recently.
Segment details
1:12–1:13 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_39So first of all, the performance of the
Segment details
1:14–1:16 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_40game is absolutely abysmal.
Segment details
1:16–1:18 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_41The graphics are terrible.
Segment details
1:18–1:19 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_42I don't know why a game coming out in 2025
Segment details
1:19–1:22 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_43looks like a game playing on the
Segment details
1:22–1:24 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_44PlayStation 2.
Segment details
1:24–1:25 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_45So even if you've got the latest GPU and
Segment details
1:26–1:28 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_46latest systems, you're going to have lag
Segment details
1:28–1:30 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_47and performance issues because this game
Segment details
1:30–1:32 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_48has been extremely poorly optimized.
Segment details
1:32–1:34 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_49So I have the latest gaming laptop with a
Segment details
1:34–1:37 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_50Ryzen R7 940HS with a GTX RTX 4050 or
Segment details
1:37–1:45 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_51something, I can't remember now.
Segment details
1:45–1:46 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_52And I've got a really good laptop, it's
Segment details
1:47–1:48 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_53supposed to be for gaming, costs thousands
Segment details
1:48–1:50 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_54of pounds, and I don't know why, but this
Segment details
1:50–1:52 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_55game, it doesn't play very well.
Segment details
1:52–1:53 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_56Frame rates are rubbish, FPS is bad, and
Segment details
1:53–1:56 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_57performance is really struggling even on
Segment details
1:56–1:58 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_58low graphics settings.
Segment details
1:58–1:59 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_59It's just kind of ridiculous that they
Segment details
1:59–2:01 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_60expect us to pay £60 for a game when it's
Segment details
2:01–2:04 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_61not even finished and not even been ported
Segment details
2:04–2:07 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_62well and optimization is so bad.
Segment details
2:07–2:10 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_63I don't know why they didn't test this
Segment details
2:10–2:11 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_64stuff out before releasing the actual
Segment details
2:11–2:13 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_65game.
Segment details
2:13–2:13 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_66There's no excuse.
Segment details
2:13–2:15 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_67And the game is just kind of like the same
Segment details
2:15–2:17 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_68as all the other games.
Segment details
2:17–2:18 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_69They don't really make anything different
Segment details
2:18–2:19 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_70with this game.
Segment details
2:19–2:20 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_71And the things that they boast about on
Segment details
2:21–2:22 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_72the Steam page are things like, okay, so

Segment details
3:00–3:00 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_93Is that just at night more monsters come

Segment details
3:02–3:03 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_95That's not really— I mean, Minecraft used
Segment details
3:03–3:04 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_96to do that, didn't they?
Segment details

3:27–3:27 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_109God, it just sounds so boring.
Segment details
3:30–3:31 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_110Like, what does the game actually bring to
Segment details
3:31–3:33 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_111the table?
Segment details
3:33–3:33 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_112Also, I've never really been a fan of the

Segment details
3:38–3:38 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_115It always just feels very slow, clunky,
Segment details
3:38–3:40 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_116and not very fluid.
Segment details
3:40–3:41 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_117It's kind of like a mixture between Dark
Segment details
3:42–3:44 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_118Souls and Elden Ring where it's slow and
Segment details
3:44–3:46 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_119clunky, but it doesn't have that
Segment details
3:46–3:47 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_120satisfying rolling.
Segment details
3:47–3:49 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_121And, um, you know, if you mess up, you
Segment details
3:50–3:53 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_122know, it's kind of your fault.
Segment details
3:53–3:54 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_123Whereas in this game, it's just like if
Segment details
3:54–3:56 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_124you mess up, it feels like it's the game's

Segment details
3:58–3:58 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_126So because of those reasons, unfortunately
Segment details
3:59–4:01 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_127I'm gonna have to give this game a 3.5 out

Segment details
4:06–4:07 · rev_460cc3fec334ec79e008638d48bc1a27_131£60 for basically what is another Monster
