I played both betas/stress tests and the game just looks and feels like complete shit. Did it change at all since then?

I played on both PC and PS5. In my opinion the game looked really muddy and gross. Like MH rise looked better on switch. I know it's monster hunter, the gameplay was fun(ish), kind of easy. Very hand holdy though. I do not want to drop $60/70 on this game if it's exactly like it was in the beta's.

I played the beta on PS5 Pro and exactly had the same impression. It didn’t look good. Everything muddy and blurred, even in quality mode. In performance mode its even worse.

Personally, I didn't have the impression that anything had changed much in the final release. The miserable graphics and performance definitely spoiled my enjoyment of the game after only 2-3 hours into the game.

This game is making me spend 2500 on a new rig and I'm conflicted about it. My 1080 has served me well o7

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Eh. I have a 3060 12 though

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I got the 3060, and returned it for the 3070. Upgraded from a 1070, a 10 year old card. But the 3060 performance wasn't there, and for $100 more I stayed in the xx70 lane. Needed the 3070 for 1440p monitors, the 3060 was good at 1080p but choked on 1440p. Was worth the upgrade for me, was my Christmas present to myself after 10 years of my old equipment.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

im going to go amd next time. i dont see it as a time to upgrade though, i stull use 1080p monitors with 180hz. to mee that's better than 1440 at 60hz [similar prices]

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah, it was a good deal on the monitors. Went from 22" to 27", redid my whole desk.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah, I got 3 27s for 150 each on sale.

Looked through steam reviews a bit, looks like there are a lot of negative reviews related to performance. It's currently sitting at Mixed reviews.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah I plan on buying PS5 probably if I do because I expect it to be more optimized for consoles at first. Hmm maybe I'll sit on this one for a while, maybe wait for a sale or something.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

What's your hardware?

On high end hardware the game runs fine, not good but okish. On console they use FSR1 at a really low resolution, making everything look really blurry. On PC at least FSR3 is available for lower end hardware but don't expect too much if you don't have a Nvidia 4000+ or AMD 6000+ series card.

Digital Foundry has performance videos for console and PC up already.

I have a 3060 12gb OC edition, Ryzen 7 5800x3D, 32gb ram at 4200, and installed on an m.2 SSD.

And I should expect much as the medium settings requirement is nvidia 2000 series... And DLSS also makes the game look like a shit sandwich even on quality.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And DLSS also makes the game look like a shit sandwich even on quality.

Correct, I'm on a 7900 XTX and was able to get the best experience on Ultra by using FSR only for anti aliasing (native resolution) and turning on FSR frame generation. There are still artifacts but they are not nearly as bad as with upscaling.

Without frame gen I hover at around 60, good enough for controller but a pain with mouse.

Still, your 3060 is most likely going to output a clearer image than what your PS5 can do with FSR1. Did you give the benchmark on PC a go?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No benchmarks. Just played on various settings

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Beta wasnt optimised at all and frame gen was broken in them which was funny, capcom said this was the case and is why we got 2 more betas hehe. Full game is better optimised but still has some hickups. Id suggest to run the benchmark, which is free and is a lot more updated than the betas ( and runs better )

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Playing on ultra on r7 7700 and 6750 ( 12GB ), 1080p and its running 43-60fps. They also released a high res texture pack but its recommended to only use with min 16GB of vram ( free dlc ) which i havent tested yet.

So try the benchmark and see. I think the medium settings should be fine

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I only have 12gb of vram. I would be fine if the game ran on high with DLSS OFF and native 1080p at 60-80fps. But it just doesn't, even though my PC should have 0 issues according to their spec requirements. I'll wait for patches and sales I think. Or maybe a demo is a ailable? I haven't looked.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Is this from beta or benchmark tool? Big difference. I have framegen off because eeuw and play on 1080p

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

i tried the benchmark today. medium settings, native res i get 50fps average.... im not playing this for a while lol. that's insane for what is recommended vs what i have for specs. medium should be at least 80fps on my computer.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Good to know, thanks for posting the results!

It's a new game. Unfortunately I think we are now in an era where we can expect new games to run like shit on release, and be improved over the first year.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Idk KCD 2 runs like a dream day 1. Few funny bugs but nothing game shattering.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Wdym runs like shit. Been playing all day just fine...

... And on linux too...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Specs? Settings? I can run the game fine as well if I upscale from 240p.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

See comment above. R7 7700, rx 6750 xt, 1080p

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah I tried the beta of wilds on steamdeck and I got 1 frame of game and nothing more haha, after rise being playable on switch and how amazed I was by world on pc it feels like a big miss this time. Hopefully it gets better quickly.

How about the game though? How does it feel compared to the last 2? Interesting mechanics?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Depends on your hardware. I ran the benchmark tool for a laugh. I don't think I quite meet minimum spec, but not far off I think. If you're down that end, I'd avoid it.

Lots of upscaling and frame generation options, which honestly make it look shite.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

i am WELL abover recommended soec by a long shot. They should maybe reconsider those specs since not everyone wants to use fram gen and lower resolutiona in 2025.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

From what I've heard this game is very CPU demanding title. To get a decent performance you have to be on platform with DDR5 and lots of CPU cores. Also game very much recommends RTX 4000 series or better with frame gen turned on. If you are trying to run the game on RTX 3000 series card, you should turn on FSR frame gen. I suppose one can argue that game is not very well optimized and therefore it needs all that much hardware to run well and you're not entirely wrong there. I think devs were too ambitious with all the graphical bells and whistles and found themselves in this situation.

Personally I don't want to see a trend where games are only playable with frame gen turned on. We already have a situation where many games are blurry and have artifacts all over the place. I don't want annoying lag added on top of what's already a mess.

Also game very much recommends RTX 4000 series or better with frame gen turned on.

Capcom straight up recommends frame gen to get 60 FPS, which is not what the current frame gen tech was made for, it's ridiculous how bad this game runs

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

i like to think my r7 5800x3D is till a good CPU, if i can run star citizen at 60-80fps at all times, monster hunter wilds should also be able to run the same way lol.
