Gaijin Hunter said the roster was "disappointing" which is just as concerning, and he also said that the end was a cliffhanger designed to accomodate the next content updates, which he didnt like either...
This is starting to get scummy even by Capcom's standards. Not to mention the fact that that this game is probably the worst in terms of optimization on release, as reviewers and DF have reported.
I miss the older gens where these games were finished on release, played well, and when the "DLC" updates/add ons were variants of monsters we had on release. Capcom just keeps raising the temperature of the water we're jumping into each year, and at some point we all won't realized we are getting cooked buying the base versions on release.
They probably saw Allmother Narwa and said “We’ll fucking do it again”. Like, seriously, I can’t imagine how bad it is finishing the game, kill Narwa only for Fugen to say “wait, where’s the corpse?”
No doubt, thats basically what happened to me lol. Gaijin pretty much confirmed this in his review of wilds from the sound of it. I love rise, but Capcom is really shakin people down for a full priced game with no final boss or final conclusion. I made it all the way through hr within like a month after release back in 2021 (I even posted probably one of my last hunts) and I just put it down for years until I bought Sunbreak for 15 bucks 3 months ago.
And I'd do it again! No regerts, Im cereal! See yall in 2028/29 before the next gen!
Theres only 29 monsters according to fextralife, its the lowest its ever been on a gen release title. I have not heard ANY one say that they are happy about this so I dont know who you are watching.
Even if there are so called "updates," the fact that there is no real conclusion either on release, and its running on RE engine unoptimized as a buggy mess, Capcom is starting to make cancelling this game easy. Are you willing to do the same for G rank? Pay another 50, 60 dollars for half finished content only to be actually finished a year later?
When "title updates" start taking away content from a supposedly finished product, then they're no longer "updates," Capcom is stealing money from you, and expecting that you are willing to accept unfinished games as the new norm for MH at release. This is not how it used to be.
Oceaniz is the one who said the new monster roster is one of its favorites in wilds.
And if I end up loving wilds, I'll pay for the expansion, it's simple. You don't have to, that's fine. If everyone whose reviewed it have it high praise, especially fans, I have no need to worry
How do you not understand how content creation, profitting mutually off the interests of game corporations and manufactured media works for creators like "Oceaniz," including paid reviews, underhanded forms of "sponsorship" in 2025? Oceaniz gets paid by the viewer so its of mutual interest that they, like most content creators, capitalize on the hype and one of the most "anticipated games of 2025." That means glow up reviews for games chocked full of all kinds of trite, and scams. But hey, if your viewers buy it, chances are they will watch your next video/article/news content too!
And if I end up loving wilds, I'll pay for the expansion, it's simple
Then you dont get to complain when others are tired of being scammed, and for when we are calling Capcom out for it. It is not us who cant handle others opinions, you replied to me, and this post, when you didnt have to?
So whats with the weird corporate Capcom zealousy, and fanaticism for their brand?
Yeah, agree with all this. Isn't a $70 game for me personally but will definitely pick up at some point when it's on sale and content has been refined.
Also doesn't help that the optimization being so bad is going to discourage so many people from playing who don't have systems like mine.
