Game is a bit buggy/laggy at times, despite running on heavy machine that *should* be able to run it optimally. Inversely, some people with "weaker" stuff can play it perfectly. I often see people ♥♥♥♥♥ that their NASA-level computers cant even start the game or get past the main menu, while i play mine off a laptop and an EXTERNAL hard drive and only crashed on me once in over 70hrs of playtime (at HR56 level wise).
Content has been a bit slow, but then again im guessing its also because people are so spoon-fed these days that they expect sorry are entitled to new things every 3 weeks despite the fact we got a new monster added, the Blossom event being made and other returning smaller event hunts (that give you stuff too).
The game running like crap (and crucially, looking mid at best while doing so) is a big thing, but it also has these unskippable story segments that keep limiting what you can do at a time, which is a first in a monster hunter game and has been quite badly received, then there's the story itself, centered around the stupidest child in the planet and how special he is, then there's the fact that the game tends to drop inputs at the worst moments (at least with charge blade), and the differences to both player and monster movesets that make moves hard to read, hard to predict, and frustrating to deal with a lot of the time.
Imo this game is absolutely not worth $70, and it'd be a hard sell at $50 assuming you have a 5070 or above (which is the only thing that can approach running it at 60 fps with anywhere near decent visual fidelity).
The only reason I'd personally say not to buy the game is because of performance, which is unacceptably bad. Everything else is either incredible or acceptable!
The review status is justified.
"high" preset screenshots. These visuals can be reproduced in any rig.

Performance *is* rig dependant, and while terrible across the board, it can be brute forced through with enough of an overkill computer. Visual fidelity is ♥♥♥♥ regardless of the computer you run it in.
Anything below "high" with the high resolution pack DLC results in abhorrent visual fidelity, and I'm being generous and ignoring the lighting system since, thank christ, it can be solved by a mod released yesterday.
EDIT: Actually, I'm playing on "high" textures with the high res texture pack. Just took a random screenshot from where I am at the moment.

This is some Rise ♥♥♥♥.
I'm on ultra. I'm just wondering if I should give that texture pack a try but I know people with 4090s and high end systems were struggling with it originally. Did it ever improve?
MH is my favourite game series and this is the worst quality release I have come across among all games I have ever played, not just in MH.
I do, however, concede that it is getting a bit better by the weeks. It's still not consistently stable though.
As for content, it's alright given that the game is just out and has a bit more free content updates promised on the long run.
Even worse when you are using it on a nvidia card and not an AMD card because at that point it is even less optimal.
I honestly have no clue why they arent more positive. Game is great fun overall.
Honestly, I didn't see much of a performance impact, and unless you are really tight on storage, it is an absolute must. The store page lists that it will only affect "ultra", but in reality it will improve every texture setting. "Medium" and below will still look like barf with it, but it will get "high" from "eyesore" into "okay".
(it also says it requires 16 gb vram, but on "high" at 2k it will not go past 6 gb vram so it can be ran on an 8gb card no problem)
Absolutely. The problem is that with this game they just keep popping up. As someone who's trying really, REALLY hard to enjoy this game, believe me when I say that I'm not exactly itching to find eyesores in it, but they just keep cropping up. Every cutscene has some ♥♥♥♥♥♥ blurry ass texture somewhere prominent, every location has a few things that look straight out of a PS3 launch title.
And if it was a budget, even a AA title, okay. I don't own any that off the top of my head is this inconsistent with fidelity, but sure. If it could be ran at a steady 60 fps, okay. But it's a $70 recent release that needs framegen to reach 60 fps on anything but the very top end of GPUs. One that seemingly capcom considers to be in an acceptable enough state as to not need any post-release updates regarding its technical state.
I'm not saying it's an unplayable mess, because I sure am trying hard to get my money's worth, but regardless of how much you enjoy it, it's technically very inconsistent at the best of times, and we owe it to ourselves as fans of the series to at least acknowledge it.
