It’s definitely more Monster Hunter. Performance mode runs pretty well but the resolution is really low, everything looks blurry. I wouldn’t be surprised if we start to see this more and more now the Pro is nearly here.

Gordon

Two open beta tests coming up soon

Gordon

40fps RT mode on PS5 Pro 😃

Turns out the beta is pretty much the same code as the last one, and doesn’t have any of the performance optimisations or gameplay improvements they’ve shown since. I know it’s a beta but a lot of people will treat it as a demo, and it really doesn’t make a good first impression at all. Pretty odd decision for Capcom.

Gordon

Weird huge octopus thing. I’m very excited for this. Might even take the day off.

Gordon

Someone broke the review embargo. Sounds good 🙂

Fixed the performance too. Nice

I’ve taken up Monster Hunter Now to keep me busy until Friday. It’s actually not half bad.

Pretty good reviews. The main criticism seems to be that it’s too easy, which I’m fine with. It’ll also get harder as they add new content and higher rank hunts.

Gordon

It’s so good. Runs and looks so much better than the beta too. Gunlance and hunting horn are amazing.

Brave

Gordon I’ll be on it at some point today. Rachel’s got a day off though so I can’t hog the telly.

Gordon

Brave I’ll be around but I also have to actually do some work, sadly.

Taken the day off and the wife is at work! Sometimes the stars do align! lol

My hunter ID is MV7AB6YF (case sensitive) still way to many different coop options… Capcom never make it easy.

Gordon

H47887RQ. It’s definitely still way more complicated than it ought to be. Seems like the best plan is to get the story bit of the way first anyway.

Gordon

Hunting horn has a song that counters incoming attacks. Monster attacks, you play a wee tune on your enormous saxophone and they get knocked on their arse. This is the best game ever.

Gordon

I have to say though the default controls for the mount are truly awful and utterly bizarre. Fortunately there’s options to make it not suck but what were they thinking?

r0wie

I think they’ve tired to make it overly newbie friendly and some of the things are a bit off. Sadly you always have to go through pages of settings to get to them

I’ve been playing it all day. For someone who was saying they were burnt out on the series not long ago, it’s got me right back into it.

Really enjoying it. My only gripe really is some of the combos (especially hammer in my case) don’t “flow” as well as previous games. But I’m also convinced that’s probably me complaining about not liking change as opposed to any actually valid reason.

I’ve played more with randoms today than I’ve ever done in an MH game. I know it’s still a bit clunky but that’s the cross play I think. The actual minute to minute, firing off a flare or answering someone else’s is very straightforward imo.

I’ve had a whale of a time so far.

Gordon

Brave There’s definitely plenty of jank but the core of the game is so, so good. I’m trying to wrap my head around how gunlance is supposed to be played. It hasn’t clicked yet but you get to stick exploding stakes into the monsters over and over again and that’s keeping me happy for now.
