Why i regret buying Monster Hunter Wilds

Hello, welcome back to a new video. So

I've been playing Monster Hunter Wilds for

a bit, and I have to say, I kind of regret

buying this game for £60. It is a

stuttering mess, quite literally. I mean,

look, every time you go into one of these

camps where you speak to all the vendors,

the game seems to rubber band all over the

place like this. It's really, really

annoying, especially when you're trying to

get stuff done. But apart from that, I

just find the, the core gameplay mechanics

of the game to be really boring. So I

mean, basically all you do is you hunt

these big monsters. Like, there's one down

there. You do it like this: you go onto

the map and then you look for the moving

icon, which is the monster, and then you

click on it. It will take you to the

monster. You've got a bunch of weapons you

can choose from. I like the greatsword

because all the other weapons do barely

any damage. And, um, you just

have to kill it. And the fights with the

monsters are incredibly tedious and long.

The monsters have a massive health bar,

and for some reason the game doesn't show

you the health bar when you're fighting

the monster. You just have to kind of

guess when it's nearly dead, which is

really weird. So yeah, basically in this

game, the whole game revolves around

hunting these big monsters, and that

sounds cool and everything, apart from

when you find out that the gameplay is

extremely boring. So you've only got 2

buttons for attacks. You got this vertical

attack and and you've got this horizontal

attack, and then you've got like a

combined one which does this uppercut

thing, and you've got block. So for your

moveset, that's basically all you're going

to be doing whilst also dodging. And then

also your wound system, which you do

by attacking one of its limbs until it

gets wounded, and then you do like a

targeted wound thing. The combat is so

boring. I mean, look at this. So now he's

got a wound on his head You gotta aim for

its head and press the right bumper

button, and then you do like a special

attack and also get some scales or claws

from its body. And then you

just gotta keep spamming attacks onto it

until it dies whilst trying to not die

yourself. And there's probably several

phases because it will keep running away,

and then you gotta keep chasing it. And

it's just kind of— I don't know, it takes

forever to kill these things, and you

never really know how much longer you have

to fight it because you don't have this

health bar that shows how strong it is.

Why is there no health bar? I just don't

get it. And this is the whole gameplay

mechanic, the whole gameplay loop just

revolves around fighting these,

going back to the base, to restock and

build new gear. But then the gear is kind

of boring. And look, I got no potions now.

So you got this stash thing,

and you can call your mount. So you got a

stash, but the game doesn't pause. And so

I got some first aid kits. Okay,

so the game is like really glitching like

crazy. Because it's rubbish. So yeah,

I bought this game for £60 thinking it'll

be good, but it's just so glitchy,

so boring as well. It's just like an utter

grind fest of non-stop grinding monsters.

The gameplay is not even fun. It's like it

wants to be Elden Ring so badly, but Elden

Ring you had way more customization,

Ashes of War, different movesets, dual

wielding, loads of weapons.

This game's got some unique weapons like

the Gunlance, I guess, but the, the weapon

crafting system is just— I

don't know, it's just like not very

interesting. Half the weapons are boring

and rubbish.

I just don't really feel like I'm having

fun playing it. I feel like it's a chore,

like I'm having to work. And these bosses

take so fucking long to kill,

and then you keep getting knocked over

like that. That's really annoying. Whoa,

I've never done that before.

And you wounded— oh my god, he just

one-shot me. Yeah, and then you die,

and then you gotta go all the way back to

this stupid camp. You get taken back to

the camp, and then you've got an

opportunity now to restock. Maybe do a

whetstone and

then go, go get some potions.

Oh my god, it's so laggy. I don't know if

it's like my computer lagging or if it's

the internet lagging. And then you gotta

find your tent. Where the hell is the damn

tent? They don't make it clear on the

minimap. Where you're supposed to go.

Like, when you get a quest, unless you're

in the area where the quest is, it doesn't

show you the waymark.

So you have no idea where you— which area

you're supposed to be in. So then you have

to do stuff like Googling or looking

around the map. I can't find the fucking—

oh, here it is. So you go in the tent,

but even in the tent it's lagging. And I

have no idea why it's lagging because most

of the time it's fine. And then you can— I

can't even get my potions. I don't know,

game's being really weird. And you can do

some cooking, and then your character

makes this retarded face, and you

go back out.

The world outside is really boring and

bland as well. It just feels

so lifeless. And then you

go and relocate the monster so you can

fight it again.

Maybe do a sneak attack. Oh no,

well, I think I did do a sneak attack.

I wounded its tongue. Do you think you can

cut its tongue off?

Sometimes you can destroy the environment

to damage it.

Yeah, I just, I really feel like this

game's not worth £60.

I don't even know if I'm gonna play it

much. I just, I'm not really that into it

and I can't refund it anymore.

And then it'll run away.

Watch, look, I got no— oh, I got first aid

med, so it's not running

away. Okay.

What? Come on, I rolled.

It takes forever to kill it. Come on,

just die already.

It just won't die.

Look at that, it's still not dying.

Yeah, then it'll run away and

then you gotta chase it. This is what the

entire game is like. It's so boring.

No, there's another one there. It would

take like half an hour to kill one of

these fucking monsters.

I don't know why the damage you do is so

Did it just fart?

But it's still not dead.

At this point, it just feels like I'm

abusing it.

Oh, finally! See how long it took? And

then you loot it. It never— it doesn't

drop anything good though. It will drop

like a claw and a scale. So you do all

that work and this is what you get.

You get A

carapace, a carapace and

a jaw, and then you'll get a bunch of

other stuff when you complete the quest.

You won't get any loot, you won't get

anything cool, get a bunch of bonus

rewards like scales and stuff.

Oh, I leveled up, nice,

I guess.
