The patch for Monster Hunter Wilds on March 4th will address issues such as the Ingredient Center, Grill a Meal, and story progression in Chapters 5-2. When the update goes live, all online sessions will be discontinued, and players will not be able to play online until they download the patch. While some are happy the patch is coming, many prefer Capcom to focus on performance, especially with PC.
Performance has been the biggest complaint against Monster Hunter Wilds since the beta, with some being unable to play the game entirely. Capcom has addressed this issue, giving troubleshooting guides, but fans are demanding the studio take action to increase performance and remove these issues, stating these troubleshooting guides are a lazy way to deflect blame from the studio.
Despite the praise Monster Hunter Wilds has received, the game currently sits at a Mixed reception on Steam. The negative feedback primarily stems from the performance issues. There are over 58,000 reviews for Monster Hunter Wilds, showing how many players are affected by performance problems and how big the demand is for these issues to be addressed.
The gameplay and design of Monster Hunter Wilds has been almost universally praised, though concerns the game is too easy have also been shared. This is a minor complaint compared to the performance and optimization issues plaguing Monster Hunter Wilds, especially on PC, that have been criticized since the open betas.
Aside from the performance issues, Monster Hunter Wilds has earned its praise. With a fun and engaging story, excellent weapons, and charming NPCs, it is poised to be one of the best of the series. Capcom needs to address these issues to maintain good faith with veteran players and newcomers to the series. There is no doubt that Capcom will release an update to address the complaints, but it needs to be sooner rather than later if the game is to keep its player base.
