Is World still worth trying or should I go straight to Wilds?

[SinMurlock]

Im just not sure if my Pc will be able to handle Wilds

[MissingNo.]

Absolutely still worth it. Runs better, content complete, frequently on sale, can be completed solo, still has over 30,000 players if you want to play co op.

[jrwwp]

try to play wilds and see if it runs well, if so, play that. Otherwise, world is amazing still, but not the "main game" anymore.

[Percopius]

Yeah, World is really complete, there are hundreds or thousands of hours of game-play waiting for you, and years of content and patches. Also, it runs really well and looks fine.

Then don't buy MH Wilds! The way MH Wilds is getting released it will be overprized on Release Date anyways. Most people know that.

With MH World it was the same way:

The prize for the main-game started with ca. 60 € - just the base game! And the Expansion, if you want to call it like this... ca. 2 years later on... started with another 60 €!

And Iceborn... the so-called MHW-Expansion... is only the G-Rank aka Master Rank-Add on. In previous MH Parts Master Rank was always called "G-Rank" for... "Guild Quests"! Now they call it Master Rank, but it's technically the same.

All the monsters, you're killing on Low Rank, you'll kill on High Rank next - with some additional monsters... so that this loop doesn't feel too blunt.
After you're done with High Rank, you do the same monsters with some additional ones on Master Rank... that is the next loop!

And since MH World Capcom went especially funny, cause they added a 3rd loop after the Master Rank-Loop into that game: it's called "the Guiding Lands"-feature, where you've to hunt slightly stronger, armored (called "Tempered" or "Archtempered") versions of the same monsters from the MR-Mode. And for what? Not for crafting armor sets, but for augmenting your weapons... like granting your weapon a "HP Drain"-feature for example.
Instead of upgrading the weapon base, you just add some slight bonus features into a fully-upgraded weapon in the end - cause... midway augmenting weapons isn't possible and wouldn't make much sense - cause... augmenting is extremely expensive material-wise.

For that you need to even level-up the different Biomes of the Guiding Lands, cause only on maxed out Biomes you get the really juicy super rare materials. Why? Cause only on maxed Biomes the armored Monsters can spawn.
And even there Capcom f'cks the players by restricting how many Biomes you can max at the same time: you downgrade other Biomes when you're trying to level other Biomes.

Which is why a lot of ppl skipped Guiding Lands and Biome leveling completely!

-----------------------

TLDR:

that is...

to understand... how Capcom designs video games and how Capcom tries to make money out of franchising. And that's what Capcom intends to do with MH Wilds, either.
You can rest assured that you won't just pay for the main game of MH Wilds and the add on aka Expansion will double that prize... to say it bluntly.

So, is it wise to buy MH Wilds just on release date? Especially with an underpowered PC? I highly doubt that. But... your decision. Don't think, you weren't lectured afterwards.

The demo guarantees absolutely nothing! The demo of MH Rise was broken for some people like me.

After the first 5 mins of the MH Rise-Demo I permanently got a blackscreen when I restarted that demo. I discussed this with the support, I discussed it on STEAM. Nothing worked.
I deinstalled and reinstalled the Demo of MH Rise at least 4 times! And the last time 5-6 months after the actual release of MH Rise.
Then... it worked for ca. 5 mins till it broke again... with the same "blackscreen"-issue.

And in terms of MH Rise...

that thing even runs on the Nintendo Switch - an underpowered Nintendo console, which doesn't even reach XBOX One or PS4-level in terms of hardware.
Not to mention that other triple-A titles work perfectly fine on my PC.

-------

Before that happened, I'd have agreed with you. But since then I highly doubt that you should rely on a demo when you want to decide whether you can run such a performance-hungry game.
And MH Rise was released on Switch first and years later on STEAM. In terms of MH Wilds you don't know how performance-hungry that beast will become after a few patches and the expansion later on.

listen to this: finish MH World while waiting for MH Wilds' iceborne equivalent expansion to come out, then you buy MH Wilds.

MH World - Iceborne is absolutely worth playing, especially if you haven't played it, MH Wilds prolly only have a 2-3 months worth of content anyway before they release the expansion

[Mythily]

Wilds is a dud. Right now you will get 50 hours out of it at most.

[Stormer]

Wait and you get it at a lower price and with all the bugs fixed

[President Benny the Beaver]

Just now, there's 34k players online in Monstet Hunter World, this is really a huge amount of players. There's no need to rush to Wilds.

[いか]

So in the early mornings pst you can see up to 50k people , standard is 30k, low is 20k.
It's going to remain popular for sure. Especially after how terrible wilds is running for many.

Rise peaks at about 30k players but it's super variable mode some weeks it's max 5k period.

If you can. Get any monster hunter you can. It's just worth the play time. I have wilds and I'm about to log into Rise. Rise. A inferior game graphics wise.

World is better game, literally. And especially right now.

[Under there]

I honestly expect them to shut World down soon to force people into Wilds.

that would tank their wilds reviews and alienate their customer base

[Rothgar57]

I recommend World or rise tons of content. Still many players. I am waiting on wilds for when i upgrade my PC and the game is baked more.

If you think capcom has any respect at all for their customers you must be new
