Be wary of people who cite entire platform generations and not actual games from them as points of reference, they're relying on you not calling them out for one.
I'm genuinely excited about the possibility of people digging up cut monsters/equipment, as well as modding the hell out of my character. After platinuming the PS4 version almost entirely solo and completely legit, I'm more than ready to crack MHW open and get every last drop of entertainment out of it that I can.
Thank God (Gabe?).
Capcom doesn't believe in lower case letters.It's showing up on my steam list now. LET ME IN! Feels so strange to finally see it there.
Just came in here to ask this. Bloody hell, will take me most of a day to download this thing. Let me get it ready!

WBacon just confirmed in a SteamERA chatroom that the game unlocks at noon on Thursday
If its anything like the console version, it's not a huge download - something like 8gb
That's really refreshingly small. Looks like preload is a go anyway. Happy days ahead!
This made me go look up how big it is on Steam.
20gigs. God damn. It's SSD time baby.
Why though? If you're gonna release a game on a specific day, literally release it that day, not halfway through the day.
Seeing so many more games doing this. Back in my day we could unlock these games a day early with a VPN. Now they don't even release at 9pm pst the day before like they used to.
I don't recall anything going awry with Steam game launches before.
Yakuza 0 came out late in the day too, and that didn't solve shit. They haven't even managed to roll out a patch they didn't immediately have to roll back from. Releasing later didn't do anything for them.
Nice to see they're still polishing it though.

From the wordings, it seems that they're not really that ready to launch the game this week. I have a really bad feeling about this.
That was because of the release day being set to Tuesday. It's been corrected. I was pretty convinced that was true, especially since GMG keys are being distributed already, but since Amazon changed the date to the correct release day and GMG codes aren't allowing preloads, only adding to library, I doubt it.
I mean, we have tons of literal video evidence of how the game's performing on PC already.
If it was in a bad state, they wouldn't have let a bunch of people preview it ahead of time already.
The game has felt very polished after the patch they released so I don't think people need to worry. I haven't encountered any bugs or crashes since then.
Valve supporting launches is standard procedure. Also, although they could have done an open beta to test their infrastructure even then nothing can fully prepare you for the real d-day.
To that post you were responding to I don't understand... I thought World looked really good? Does it not?
It does, but that's because of the strength of it's artstyle. The IQ and texture work is a bit all over the place, and its highlighted on increased resolutions. I definitely could see some mods trying to address some of the visual flaws.
I don't think this was posted. Apparently with the new Nvidia drivers, performance got quite a bit better. Still probably want to turn off volumetric rendering though.
Quack quack! I didn't check CPU usage and such, but framerates for me wasn't noticeably better with new drivers. Maybe it's only with specific hardware you'll see an improvement with the new drivers.
Man, the loading times alone make me want to get this on PC. I don't have a SSD but like sheeeesh. I'd double dip but my stuff is old. i5 2300 & a AMD Radeon HD 6800 on 6gb ram. lol.
Have you turned down volumetric rendering? I honestly can't tell the difference between high and medium/low and it added 20 frames for me with my ancient (OC 4.5) 2500k.
I have. Actually I think it looks even better with volumetric rendering turned off, it seems to add an odd blueish filter everywhere.
