Why neutrals reviews?

[|Revenge|]

i'm thinking about buying the game, but why does it have neutral reviews?

[Weitsicht]

cause optimization and gameplay could be way better

[Mikebeez]

Gameplay is great. Optimization is terrible.

I've been lucky with optimization though as I have only a single crash out of over 200 hours in the game.

Also for MH vets, content is a bit lacking even though simple math shows it's only one less monster than World on release. However, challenge is a bit lacking.

Another thing is it's also much much easier to get the materials/decorations you want which in turn cheapens the experience a bit more. In other words, far less of anything to grind and progress towards. But again, this is the eyes of a MH vet.

Overall though I'm still having fun getting all the titles and such. Almost every single weapon still feels very good and rewarding to play. Honestly it's a good time to get in here as a new title update is about to hit on April 4th.

it has three less monsters. Guardian Arkveld and Zho Shia have zero refights, they're set piece monsters and nothing else. all though we're getting refights for Zho Shia, it's likely we won't get any for Guardian Arkveld.

so, again, TU1 is actually making that "1 less monster than world" true. though by tu1 with world, it got deviljho so....naw, still two less it seems. and this doesn't include the content BEYOND just Monsters.

cuz this game has so many defects.

Horrid PC port.

The game DOES run well if you hit their recommended specs but it's just not well optimized so it's nowhere as good as it could be running.

The actual gameplay is superb, though as with most things you have a bunch of people who hate literally anything that doesn't cater explicitly to their personal tastes so they insist the game is awful.

If you have a machine that's near or above the recommended specs, you like the look of the gameplay, and you don't mind just-okay performance, then go ahead and give it a try or wishlist and wait for a sale.

Terrible optimisation that potentially can't be fixed because of RE Engine, being the main issue. The game is much easier than the likes of Rise, so much so that even the gaming journos said it was too easy. And lastly a terrible lack of content.

It deserves the mixed review status for the first point alone, honestly it's still too high but if you look at the non-useless positive reviews, they pretty much state all of the above anyway.

[konn]

agreed with most of the above. except understand that this game will get frequent content updates and is catered to newbies of the monster hunter series. so can think of this game as early-access with less bugs but poor optimization for weaker PCs. Try the free benchmark or demo if available and tweak the graphics settings to see if it runs well on your PC.

less monster，and could not f*** Arkveld

[Starcake]

A good game plagued by AWFUL optimization. Wait for a sale if you're not a fan of the series but still wanna play it. Or at the very least a few beefy patches.

Performance is an issue for many people, and the game did not released fully complete.

The completeness issue is being addressed for sure with Friday's update, however, I'd suggest waiting for confirmation on performance updates before buying. The game is otherwise fantastic.

Most people have never learned to review properly.

[Poyzo]

Game is too easy. People are sick of the Hello Kitty games we are getting nowdays. Tons of negative reviews for it as punishment!

[ᔑᓭ∴ᔑリ⊣]

the biggest criticisms are of lacking optimisations and difficulty. the devs are planning to address both in updates, so if you're willing to wait a while, you may as well

[PapaKutz]

Yeah, basically just optimisation issues, initially it ran nothing like the beta and the benchmark results were different too.
For some peeps there's also a lack of content and was some belief that it got easier. Imo TU1 is still a few days out so content really isn't an issue, especially since we've got hunters out there pulling over a hundred hours before the first week was over.

Fwiw my crashing issues stopped after a small overclock (just 1%)

Bad performance, doesn't run on Steam Deck, vertex explosion glitches on Linux/Nvidia, dumbed down game play, no end game, etc.
