The focus Wilds has on plot feels like a very natural extension of Capcom watching Monster Hunter World outsell every game they've ever released and wondering if the story structure was key to that success. I'd rather get in & out of hunts quicker, but I understand what they're trying for here. - ThreadSky

Curious if you’ve ever tried fromsoft titles if plot isn’t really your thing?

Combat is fun in these games even if multiplayer is pretty painful due to whatever p2p system they have.

Oh, I love FromSoft games! I'm hoping to do my first ever replay of Sekiro sometime soon.

The best thing about replaying these games is that challenge runs are enjoyable because they’re so fast to get through!

I've really enjoyed it, though I'd add that they're seemingly doubling down on making each area feel alive with details on their ecosystems. More obvious pack or herd behavior, more dynamic monster interactions, etc.

With a voiced hunter like we have now, I'd love to see trends like solo vs multiplayer hunts, the monster you targeted the most, or weapon type usage rates to factor into a backstory. Like halfway through you find out why your Hunter is here and see a cutscene influenced by those things.

it'll definitely be interesting to see if they continue this pattern of alternating more elaborate, narrative driven games on high end hardware with more focused, let's just go hunt some monsters games on low end hardware

because wilds definitely isn't fit for the steamdeck or the switch 2

It seems like they're just trying to use low rank as a brisk tutorial/story thing now, which I don't really agree with, but whatever. I hit high rank and it seems to open up into something a bit closer to what I'd prefer out of a MH, so hopefully the momentum doesn't stall again as it goes on

Yeah I'm not a big fan of the narrative in these games. I just don't see it being that deep that it's necessary to add to the gameplay loop that has made the series what it is

It’s not what I want from Monster Hunter and it doesn’t seem to be what any of my friends want from it either and in many ways it exists at odds with a lot of the new mechanics in Wilds but I’m sure it eases new players into the experience so I get why they did it that way.

Hitting HR was so refreshing though, felt like Monster Hunter finally properly arrived

the amount of times my friends and I have said "in a cutscene, I'll join in a sec"
