Capcom just proves that gameplay is superior to graphics

[Bigboss PC Faster]

Capcom totally nailed it with Monster Hunter Wilds! They’ve shown us that if the gameplay’s solid, people don’t care that much about fancy graphics or a few performance hiccups.

I mean, the game’s got some rough spots visually, but the core hunting and fighting is so damn fun that it’s become the "biggest hit" in the Monster Hunter series. with over 1 m peak players on steam. not to mention console player base.

It just goes to show-give us a good time with killer mechanics, and we’ll forgive some blurry textures or lag any day. Gameplay beats graphics, hands down!

"rough spots" is an understatement.

4k DLSS Quality, High textures and some spots look like N64 textures and no I am not exaggerating.

i would agree wiht you ... but good gamplay isnt here.. i can that there can be good gamplay as the mechanics are sounds how ever the game runs less than my dead grandmother when i faught lalabarina it went down to 20 fps making it really hard to not only play but i could enjoy the fight and before you ask i have a 4070 ti super and a i7 14700f so it isnt my hard ware
i do think this game will be the biggest mh game though fo sure just hope they fix the game so its playable and so that more hunters can play cause anything less the a 3080 is gonna struggle with this game

i personally agree with you, but this games getting some pretty bad hate from the community at the moment... which i personally feel that some are just dumb opinions

Yeah there are some dumb opinions, but I think everyone can agree this game runs really bad.

do you have a solid state drive? and NOT running on 4k? put the game down too 1080p or 2k if you must and you'll be surprised how much of a fps boost that gives. i have worse specs then you and my pc is running better then yours

The more "streamlined" and "accessible" the gameplay, the unequivocally better the gameplay experience. I genuinely hope that the DLC expansion will include "auto-play" functionality, where the game can play for the player... This would make MH Wilds perfect +1. 🙏🏻

Indeed, the O. P. is spot on -- Capcom have reached the apex of game design: Mastered the art of harmonising PERFECT VISUAL FIDELITY with FLAWLESS GAMEPLAY MECHANICS. Capcom are the Di Vinci of gaming.

Sorry, I would have responded sooner but I had to walk with my boss for 10 minutes before he would let me.

You’re actually right. Despite the games atrocious textures and smears and blur + poor performance, if the gameplay holds up a lot of people will look past it. I myself am excited to play, but I don’t want to support a game that can’t get performance correct. I feel like I’m paying a premium for an unpolished unfinished experience. But for those that are, thank you for beta testing for me 🙏.

i9-9900ks and RTX2080 Ti and very few issues here. Not had the same framerate issues as you, although occasional dips to between 30-40fps. Only noticeable things for me have been textures loading in a layer at a time at the Base camps, and delays loading in when spinning the camera. Very occasionally I'll have black shapes spazzing out over the screen, but it's only happened 3 times throughout the whole of low rank when something clips in and out at the very front of the POV. Spinning the camera a bit fixes it. The game overall is a mess of performance issues across the whole scope of hardware, but my 5 year old PC is keeping up far better than some younger ones that's for sure

But Capcom is the one putting graphics over gameplay by ruining the performance by cramming it too full of graphical fluff.
