WIth all that out of the way, there is no way to deny that this is a pretty shoddy port. When you play solo, this game runs fine most of the time. You only hit some occasional frame drops (down to 45ish) on high settings with my config, but Volumetric Fog turned off. Unfortunately, if you're like me and have spent about 70-80% of your time in Monster Hunter as a group with friends, then you'll want to play online which is plauged by awful frame drops down to single digits in the right scenarios. That's also if you have the patients some nights to actually stay on hunting with friends due to consistent server errors. The server errors are unfortunately, not consistent. They come and go and you spend a decent amount of time remaking rooms just so players can stay together.

With all that out of the way, I would still recommend this game to most players. With more tweaking to settings and downgrading the image quality you can get a locked 60 pretty easily or with a few minor tweaks you can get a pretty easy locked 30. Both of those configurations will look better than the PS4/PS4 Pro and with a locked Frame Rate you don't have the serious issues with frame timing that the PS4/Xbox platforms have. If you also play durring low population times then you rarely ever see a disconnect from the server and you can really enjoy what this game offers.

Other than that, I will say that Monster Hunter is an amazing franchise. Outside of the first title, every generation of this game has really moved the formula forward a pretty large step and always gives you satisfying combat that always rewards skilled play; even when the rng doesn't seem to be in your favor. World still isn't that "perfect" Monster Hunter experience past hunters are looking for but it's gotten very close. With the frequent free updates to the game in both monsters, events, armor / weapons, and cosmetics it really felt alive on the PS4 with the PC release having an accelerated content schedule to catch up to the PS4. Capcom has also acknowledged some of the faults of the PC port and has planned some fixes. Hopefully they can really revamp the port into a proper state that runs much better than it does.
