Monster Hunter: World PC |OT| Now Jaggi Free!
- Thread starter texhnolyze
- Start date
It's been raining all morning here in the Netherlands, so things are looking up.
Will it have updated graphics? Not at launch
Will it have all the add ons that the console versions have? Not at launch
What will this cost at launch? Full retail
seems like the wise move would be to wait for the Steam Winter Sale when (hopefully) the game will be in a more complete state + bug fixes/performance optimizations

Thankfully its cooled down a bit, and its now wet and miserable in London. Normal business has been resumed.
The best way I can describe it is your're playing a Multiplayer Dark Souls where you only fight the boss... and he's a lot stronger.
haha, you seem really torn about buying this or not.
Graphics: Granted it's not mindblowing, but you can get 60 fps, which the console versions weren't able to deliver. Even locked 30 fps were impossible, because the game was running unlocked, if I remember the DF video correctly. You can also tweak the LOD and a couple other details beyond console quality, if you have to horse power. Loading times also significantly improved, which is also nice to have. Still a rather bare bone port, but it's serviceable for their first try.
Addon parts: They are coming. Not a deal breaker for me, but I'm also new to Monster Hunter in general. So...
Cost: You can get it for around 40€ with various coupons if I'm not mistaken. Worst case scenario would be cdkeys.com, where it costs 43.80€ currently. That is about what you can expect from the first steam sale (60€ -25%= 45€). New AAA steam games from big developers rarely get more then 25% during sales in the first 6-12 months after release.
But I think you already put many hours into the console version. I, for example, played through Dark Souls 1 several times on PS3 and later on PC and ignored the "remastered" version. The "been there, done that" feeling was too strong and the remastered version didn't offer me enough to come back. Maybe it's the same for you with this game.
Or just buy it and play now because it's an awesome game? That's what many people are going to do. You do you.
I really want to like this and buy it but I can't ignore the negatives...I've never played a MH game and all the high praise it gets can't be wrong...as a huge fan of the Dark Souls series I want to try this...but I also don't want to feel shortchanged by playing now and a few months later Capcom releases an HD Texture Pack etc...yes loading times, resolution and frame rate are improved but this game badly needs an HD texture improvement...if they had priced the game at maybe $40 I would be 100% in but it seems like a gimped PC version that has the possibility of getting a lot better after a few months
I don't like playing games multiple times and want the first time through to be the best version
Why? That's normal for a full-price AAA game. New AAA PS4 games often go for up to €70 these days.
Lol, jesus christ. You'd think the game has world class visuals or something. I swear AC Origins wasn't even this demanding.
WBacon I can't seem to launch the game at all when my PC is offline / Steam is in offline mode. Seems like an drastic oversight? Or maybe it's on my end?
Can anyone else confirm?
Also I think the poogie petting controller prompts are mixed up. A says Stop for me but does nothing, B says pet but stops.

That's pretty much my setup. Didn't realize i7-6700K was considered old already. :(
It's a late port though. And only lunatics price PC games at 70€ (*cough* Koei Tecmo *cough*). Many new releases still go for 50€.
I expected 50€ max tbh. I probably would have been fine with 60 if it had the Deluxe version content. But 60 + extra Deluxe version just doesn't feel right.
So in other words, it's the same value it was on launch at console. Which was good.
It's available cheaply on plenty of sites. The free market of the PC wins out every time.
Yeah, no way i will buy game that look like MHW at full price and stick with 1080p and 30fps lock.
Same boat, but with a 7700k. Which is a 6700k in disguise, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
At release? It sure was extremely demanding, especially Alexandria. I had to oc my 7700k slightly over 5GHz to get close to stable 60 fps there. An OC I don't feel comfortable running on a regular basis. They later patched out the ultra LOD/Details settings and renamed very high to ultra because of the "bad port, denuvo is killing CPU performance" accusations that went viral.

Are MHW CPU requirements justified? No idea tbh. Just saying that AC:O was even more demanding at ultra settings at release.

it's pretty telling when even nvidia, a graphics card maker tells you to get a better CPU to get a better experience lol. And for gaming, from the 6700/7700k the only way to go is really only the 8700k. So ehh..
I bought the game, and I'm looking forward playing it but I'm really worried about the performance at higher resolutions.
Crazy, isn't it? It feels like it was optimised for future CPUs/GPUs.
This does make me wonder why the game doesn't have a benchmark, like FFXV did. That would answer a lot of the questions people are having about whether it runs satisfactorily on their specific setup.
Same here. Are you doing any CPU/GPU overclocking? I had a bad experience in the past so I don't tend to do much OC, but I might if the benefits are tangible here.
Bummed videos seem to show that anything more than 20 feet away still has those awful low framerate animations *shudder*
It's counting Volume Rendering, which is super taxing on the frame rate. Dropping it to medium or OFF will get you 20+ fps.
No, there are no Jaggis. Jaggis were in previous monster hunter games, starting with Tri.
Jagras are a whole another species.
The title refers to Jaggi/Great Jaggi, a common early monster in previous games.
...and aliasing.
~2000 MHz on the GPU and 4700MHz on the CPU, so nothing mindblowing.
Yeah, especially as z270 boards are incompatible with the 8700k (still hate intel for that). I'm not willing to spend ~180€ on a new mainboard and ~350€ on a new CPU just for two more cores. Despite 4c i7s running out of breath sooner then I expected.
I'm trying to hold out for as long as possible.
when the developer mentions that a PC high-res texture pack might be released post-release it does make a huge difference
Ah ok, i see, thanks :) Yeah, i knew about it also referring to aliasing, but didnt know about the Jaggi in previous games.
Not really? They're telling you about it so.. it let's you make an informed decision about your purchase. Imagine how pissed people would be if they didn't tell you?
Edit: Also your decision is simple.. if you're in it for the gameplay / community then buy it now and have fun progressing with other Hunters. If you want pretty graphics, then wait for the HD pack.
But I can tell you right now, ask any longtime Monster Hunter fan what makes this series great... graphics won't even be in the top 10.

but they're not telling us definitively so we cannot make an informed decision...they keep stating that they 'might' release one:
MH:W Producer: "When the game launches the visuals will have parity with the console versions but we're considering releasing a free update after launch."
if they had said 'Yes we will be releasing an HD texture Pack a few months after release' or 'No we will not be releasing any visual upgrade patch for PC' then consumers could make an informed decision...this 'maybe' stuff is terrible...PC gamers might be able to get gameplay/community plus pretty graphics so it's not an either/or situation
I wish this game had a Demo. I'm in the mood for a grindy game but I'm unsure if I'd even like the gameplay.
That's exactly what I'm hoping for, awesome.
This a little less so. I'm not a fan of Diablo at all, but I'm willing to give the game a real shot
If you have a 3DS or Switch, the previous games have demos. This game has a lot of QOL changes compared to those, but it gives you a general idea of the MH style of gameplay.
Not to be critical of the person you quoted... but this game is NOTHING like Diablo. There's no top down camera, no randomized dungeons, no random gear drops with random stats, no exp system, no skill unlocks... I just can't see where he got this comparison from.
I think there's less of this overall this game. Farming speed is much quicker in this game and there are no pickaxes/bugnets so you can just farm a little bit in every hunt. Your character barely has to stop to gather now for most spots. I think only bonepiles and mining places require you to stop.
I wasnt really that hyped for it before but damn I'm feeling it now! Asked my friend if she wanted to try it this weekend. We're big into MMOs and raids but were looking for a co-op game that had more action based combat so honestly this is most likely what we've been looking for!
Edit: So getting a gunlance!

Don't worry, it's not like Diablo at all.
If it was then I wouldn't have touched it :p
