Dude you have no idea how nice it is to have these videos available for pretty much any game worth playing. Definitely saves me a lot of cash or makes me spend it😂
tons of graphical issues but overall a great experience. as an old man who’s played almost every single monster hunter, this game is a great competitor
Been playing the game for two days now and I've been enjoying it. I think there are things to get used to like monsters feel like their attacks don't miss because they stay locked on through attacks and you have to into them which can take a bit to learn. It has a charm to it which makes it stand out and does pretty good to make it feel different from monster hunter.
I have a feeling you're picturing that big boar slam when you say they lock on, because yes, that has frustrated me a lot until I learned to just go between the legs. Putting my weapon away became huge for me. But yeah, many monster attacks feel cheap, but the s are awesome.
@@kaalz1178 Yeah, especially up against a hillside, some trees, or buildings. I guess as long as 3rd person action games exist, camera issues will too.
This game lacks the ability to solo well. Weapons like bow are just not worth the time. I'd say this game needs a lot of improvements. Dodging is weak. You can't lock on well.
This game looks cool and if I was younger and had endless free time, I'd probably give it a shot on sale. As an adult gamer tho, this game just has that vibe that all the building mechanics will make it more of a chore than I want it to be. I am at the point where I want my video games to just be games again instead of massive time commitments.
I love this comment! That was what's kept me from Monster Hunter. Love the concept and understand you're "hunting" but it sometimes felt like 1 moster/hour and I want to game free time.
@@dragjamon I agree. As much as I love a good open world game, not every game needs to be 80-100 hours minimum. This trend will die off eventually tho because its development hell and takes SO long to make one game. Eventually they are going to realize that games at 20 hours length are making the same if not more money and get back to quality over quantity and the only open worlds left will people that actually do it well.
@@Doublemint27 Yeah I'm to the point where if a dev starts bragging about "100s of hours of content" it kind of kills my interest now. For me to play an a massive open world game its needs to be perfect. Good story, good characters, pretty to look at, fun gameplay, and great music. If its missing even one of these attributes its not worth the time commitment so most Ubisoft games, not my cup of tea. CDPR is the only dev that nails open worlds. Just finished CyberPunk last week and at 80 hours I was actually sad to walk away from that world. lol
This isn't Omega Forces first entry into this genre. Omega Force also worked on the Toukiden games which are also monster hunter style games, quite good at that. So I was pretty confident they would do a good job as Toukiden is also very good. The game unfortunately has some performance issues, but I heard they already acknowledged it and will be releasing a patch next week.
@R. Flores I never got to play much of soul sacrafice but I love toukiden. Especially the updated Kiwami version which is actually on ps4. Definitely worth trying.
Super fun game. I've got 60 hours on Wild Hearts now and have been playing Monster Hunter for 8 years or so, and Wild Hearts is no doubt a capable competitor-at least, once they fix the performance issues.
I just started the free trial last night, made it to the first NPC playing the music. I agree the graphics are very Switch-ish but from the little combat I experienced I think I might like it. Glad I watched this, thanks bud. Now subscribed 👍🏾
Played up till the city so far (can't go beyond till release), about 10 hours, loving it. As a MH veteran this one gets all the important stuff right. My own PS5 experience has been good. Occasional slowdown only, but I'm not super fussy as long as it stays above 30fps honestly. Graphics are variable from great in some spots to just okay in others. Overall, looking forward to playing a lot more, I can see myself putting a lot of hours into this one. [Update: full disclosure, as I've played more I have encountered more occasional graphical glitches, but am still enjoying the game a lot).
@@rafalos-zx6go I can only vouch for PS5, and I'm maybe less sensitive to that sort of thing than some may be, but I've not really noticed anything 🤷♂️ That's not to say there is none, just that I've personally not noticed it.
it's honestly so upsetting that kind of every slightly bigger release is thrown onto the market in an unfinished state and publishers just get away with it like it's just the new standard while still demanding full price, which in this case is 70€ on steam. Thats really enraging me.
For anyone reading this: Wild Hearts has an issues, that the devs know about and have posted on the steam page, the Code is not using your GPU to process the graphics but your CPU. So if you have a weak CPU, the game will run very poorly, but if you have a monster of a CPU, you should be able to play it a comfortable levels. They are working on this and expect the have a fix by the next week at the latest. I am able to run this game on my PC on the lowest settings and always stay above 30fps, but yeah, this game looks amazing when it works. I promise this game will be worth the 70$ once they fix the Coding error so that is uses your GPU. This could also explain why it runs smoother on the PS5 than on other devices of similar power like low-end PCs or Xbox. So definitely keep this game on your wishlist and who knows, maybe you will be able to get the game at a discount by the time it is fixed. The devs also got EA to agree to NO MTX, so 70$, maybe one DLC and that's it. Please support this game if they do fix the GPU issue, this game is really fun and I don't want this game to turn out like Blur...I miss Blur...
This game simply doesn't have the heart that MH has. There's only a handful of franchises in existence than can illicit the triumphant, downright orgasmic feeling of raw *HYPE* as a new Monster Hunter reveal trailer with 'Proof of a Hero' playing in the background.
Games are vecoming more and more under optimized while they pile on more and more assets. On top of that since computers are still doubling in power every few years they have no need to optimize
Anytime EA manages to put out a great game the entire gaming community is delighted yet perplexed. I've been keeping my eye on this one since the reveal, glad it turned out to be a fun game. Definitely need to play it.
Haven’t heard about Wild Hearts too much so thanks for the review Falcon. You basically answered all the questions I had about it considering it was a similar type of game to Monster Hunter! Might check it out after Atomic Heart!
LMAO broooooo I was in the same boat with Atomic Heart until I read your comment... I was like wth is Atomic Heart? I immediately went to steam and no I have it pre ordered. All your fault. Hahaha
it might be a small detail but when i saw you can build a "mirror" to freely edit your character i was very pleased. for some reason in monster hunter world you had to pay real cash to buy a ticket to edit your character's looks. and i also heard Wild Hearts devs will be giving free DLC updates so at the end of the day i will fully purchase this game
In a way it's good a game like this is coming out. I think Capcom started making more of these microtransactions for just basic things like character editing because there was no competition in sight. Hopefully with Wild Hearts will make them think twice before slapping microtransactions
As for the graphical issues, it has been confirmed by the Devs that they will be fixing up everything in a patch next week. So if you're the type of person who really needs the graphics and stuff to be up to par (or you're playing on PC) then I would recommend waiting for the patch. Me personally, I have been really excited about the game and already pre-ordered. Plus I'm not really the type to care either. But yes a patch will be coming to fix all that. And if you're worried about microtransactions it's also been confirmed that there will be none. If you're worried about endgame it's been confirmed that there will be in endgame and free title updates as well. I'm getting all of this information from a dev QnA btw.
I was waiting for this one! I've put in well over 500 hours between World and Rise, so i'm definitely looking forward to this despite the graphical issues. Always love the before you buys.
Not here to persuade you one way or the other, but on PC the game is borderline unplayable (regardless of hardware or settings). I know he played up the framerate and stuttering issues a lot, but somehow it's even worse. Coming from MHR it's certainly jarring.
@@Nightenstaff glad I pre ordered on ps5 instead of pc. Love my computer but that seems to be the case this generation. Dropping a rushed pc port and seeing if the community complains enough and if they do fix it within 48 hours. Done with it, if it’s a pre order and it’s not a shooter. It’s on ps5 for now while the hardware is still current and capable
@@codysimpson911 No one cares about these things. Go back to twitter with that bullshit. Better yet. Leave your delusions and mental health issues between yourself and your therapist.
One of my favorite parts about MH is that when you break parts, the limp and are reactive. Dauntless does the broken parts pretty well. You can see tails, horns, etc fall off and them react accordingly. Does this game do any of that?
Just picked this up. It was released free on EA for Xbox. I honestly love it. I haven’t experienced the visual issues but maybe once or twice in 20hrs of gameplay. Definitely going into my list of fave games of 2023.
Been playing it all night past the 11:00 release. Got to the town. I really don't care about Monster Hunter, I just feel it's too simplistic with a lot of annoyances. But I'm loving this. Takes the more annoying things and just replaces it with more fun interactions with the environment. There's a lot of very impactful things you can do during gameplay. Like when I created a giant wall to make a boar go flying, just put that goofy smile on my face. I'm also right now placing a bunch of buildings in my realm, just to make it fun to traverse.
It’s what’s keeping me from getting the game, I really hope they drop a performance patch over the weekend or something so I can actually pick up the game and enjoy it.
The performance issues aside, I’m not the least bit mad about dropping the 65$ for this game. Honestly compared to some of the other games that have been released in the last couple years this is defiantly one of my favorites. Although there’s only so much gameplay you can do. It feels really great while your playing it.
going to put this game on my Wishlist. I tried getting into MHW, but i just couldnt. I got bored pretty quickly since the only thing you do is fight monsters (like duh, thats the title right?) but I figured thered at least be some side quests, side activities, but it really was, fight a monster, unlock the next one, go back out and fight the next one, rinse repeat. Not sure there's much more than that here, but like i said, Wishlist, wait for a sale, and maybe I'll give it a try.
That's literally the basis of the whole franchise and it's the same thing with monster hunter inspired games, wild hearts has exactly the same gamplay loop.
This game honestly felt like such a blast! Tried it for two hours with EA play, and the only thing holding me back from picking it up is the performance. I really hope they are able to fix it soon!
Love the game! PS5. It was amazing enough for me in other departments to overlook any shortcomings. I'm really looking for art direction, style, gameplay, music, fun factor - all of that before graphics anyway - and it really delivered on all of those other things. I don't really care about graphics, but if they can improve it some, or get more investment into development and optimization for a sequel great! What is here I loved. As regards the performance, it ran ok on the PS5. Some frame drops. Nothing that really impeded my play, but if you com to games for graphics and performance first, this may not be a game for you. There is a patch coming next week to address some things for PC players and maybe over time, some optimization for console, but I am happy enough with where it is, due to other qualities it has.
Rise on Switch feels great let's be real, and honestly a hell of a lot better than Wild Hearts in its current state. Really hoping for a fix, I want to like this game so bad.
Thank you for the review! I think I am going to hold off till they fix some of the graphical issues. I love these style of games, but I want to take break and play something different. Probably going to buy Hogwarts Legacy and purchase this one later. I will definitely buy it. I like to focus on one game at a time and go all in.
Thanks for the in depth review! I've not played any Monster Hunter games, but this makes the genre look really fun. Just may wait for a few patches to come out before buying. Also...I saw that you sneak up and pet non-aggressive wildlife, so that's another bonus.
FYI if anyone is using the Nodachi in this game: Don't think of it as a MH Greatsword! While you're holding RT in the Iai stance, you can continue attacking to build the meter a LOT quicker to get to that final move at max meter
Yeah, can confirm this. Just bought it yesterday and i’m having a blast. It’s sad that many people are not going to touch this because of the bad launch. I am actually enjoying this more than World or Rise. This is my GOTY.
This game is so fun I can deal with the crap resolution and performance. Really hope they iron it out because this game is amazing. The karakuri system is incredible and combat is so fluid.
It's a blast. I just hope they fix the performance stuff so more people want to hop in thus more support in the future. It's gonna need like 20 more monsters to really compete
Can def tell they learned from their earlier Toukiden games. They've taken a lot of stuff i think they wanted to put in those games but couldn't due to the limitations at the time. One thing i wish they'd done was put some of those weapons in this game.
Maybe I’m too used to mhw but the performance issues, especially the stuttering fucks with my sight so badly it’s hard to position for attacks. XD also you can rollback weapon upgrades and get your mats back in mhw
I actually liked deteriorating sharpness in the old monster hunter games it added to the feeling of growth from a newbie to an advanced hunter after learning to go in fully prepared with the items you needed for every hunt kind of like remembering to keep enough paintballs on you so you can mark your monster otherwise you would fail the hunt trying to find where the monster ran off to I can see why they're making monster hunter more mainstream but I miss the difficulty/rewarding feeling of the old games on the psp and 3ds
There's SOME parts to what you're saying but there's also a wall where you have to recognize it's not difficulty and reward just tedium and monotony. It's not DIFFICULT to bring paintballs, it's not REWARDING to stop fighting and throw a paintball cause it wore off. Being fully prepared and doing the "hunter" experience is a thing vs the brute force beat down but to me that's things like the shock traps, part breaks, environmental traps etc.
@@thatrandomguyo1 not sure why you're writing in all caps I know how to read but like I said I get it some people want to just get right to it and fight the cool monster with a gps that takes you right to it and a system that auto crafts everything for you as you pick up random stuff and other people like the micro management of everything and enjoy having to find and hunt the monster down and having to remember the crafting recipe. What you see as tedious I saw as a unique game experience that although could be frustrating at times added to the difficult learning curve and ultimately the reward of successfully hunting the monster.
@@yung-tuwei2284 I've also been playing since monster hunter freedom unite and I didn't see it as tedious I just saw it as part of the learning curve because that's just what the game was. I found world pretty boring to play because it crafted for you, it gave you unlimited whetstone, the firefly gps, and all the other ways it held your hand. I kinda miss when the game wouldn't play itself for you and when the fights lasted longer then a few minutes. There are already games that focus on going straight to fighting the monster/boss and I wish that monster hunter would have kept more of the hunt in it instead of making it streamlined but I can see why they did it in order to grow the audience.
@@P1anBeaner Writing in all caps? I used caps on 3 words as emphasis, but I guess that sort of ends the convo if you wanna just ignore what I said and go to passive aggressive insults. Have a good day.
Thanks for the video y'all! Such a huge bummer that so many games are being released before they're ready.. The reviews on Steam are atrooocious, which I think is fair. $70 for a game that doesn't work? Nope.
I played the 10 hour trial and I love it! The graphics are definitely a bit bad sometimes and when I first played on Monday it was laggy but they patched it and honestly I'm happy they didn't focus on the graphics aspect because I use a bow and its incredible how many combos I can do with the bow alone
@@workgmail2375 subscribe to the EA Play or whatever and then you can play it. Only one I've seen it on is Steam, otherwise, idk about the others. Didn't apply cuz money issues at the moment
As a huge MH fan...and a regular player of monster world...I must say this game is great...when I saw EA were involved I was worried...but I've been proven wrong... really a solid game this👌🏻💯
the monkey Kimono's moveset reminds me of the monkey boss in sekiro (also turn off motion blur when playing this game it makes a weird fuzzy effect like at 11:36)
i love these videos you guys always make it a point to put the game first and not worry about what other people think or say. also im a big fan of the warriors games as well. so i was kinda worried when i saw they where going to make a game like this, but was happy with how it came out, yes its a bit meh here and there with lag and frames but what do you expect from people that make games that have you playing a op character that KOs hundreds of troops a mission. but they always listened to the people (outside of there over priced skinks and such) for their bugs and performance fixes
I'm really enjoying the game myself but I wish I could convince my friends to play it lol Also with the graphical issues! Turn off the motion blur.. it might help!
I get the graphic and performance critique. Luckily for me, I am not a graphic person but the performance really needs to be good for such a fast paced game.
I was playing this game last night and I’ve been enjoying it a lot. Yea it has its problems and issues but compared to the last game they made they hit this one out of the park. I’m just really glad that there is now another fun and good hunting game. I don’t think this could take down monster Hunter at all but I do hope the monster Hunter developers get some inspiration from this game for the next monster Hunter game. I would love to see the hunting games like this to become a big and popular genre.
This is a spiritual successor to the Toukiden games of the same devs, which also went head to head with the Monster Hunter games of that time period. Toukiden 2 ended with a visual theme where the medieval Japanese theme was starting to combine with the Karakuri theme. There was literally a partner NPC in 2 that was a human soul fused onto a Karakuri body. I'm quite surprised and disappointed Falcon seems to not know of these games when they were actually good and quite unique at the time. Toukiden 2 was even impressive for being a seemingly open-world-ish Monster Hunter game before World was a thing, and it had a Vita version too for portable players. Might want to at least try 2 since it's definitely quite fun even now. Only thing I dislike with this new game is that it's EA. "You use a launcher to launch another launcher that launches a launcher that launches the game."...should be enough to tell you why I dislike EA.
The little side stories with the partners in the first game were pretty nice too. I accidentally completed Nagi's story at the perfect time and had her talk about her experience with medicine just before the ice turtle mission where you tank a boulder for her and she ends up operating on you.
This game seems interesting and it has a lot of elements that I really would enjoy but the performance problems are a huge no for me. Hopefully they can do a performance patch to fix things soon then maybe I’ll pick the game up but for now it looks like a hard pass.
@@hartfantom not true I’ve read a few comments about how they already plan on dropping a performance patch soon so I already ordered the physical copy from Best Buy it gets here Saturday lol
@@dbzcollector9963 hey, that’s great but I’ve seen a ton of people use performance as a cover up to be dismissive towards the game and it’s annoying. The developers really did make a phenomenal game outside of performance issues. Elden Rings performance issues legit stopped nobody from buying that game so when I hear people trying to trash wild Hearts for performance only, it irritates me because gamers nowadays tend to be pretty big a$$holes towards developers they don’t have a implicit bias towards. All people saw was “EA” and “monster hunter kinda game” and decided to try smearing wild hearts
@@hartfantom I played the first hour and it was pretty good I really enjoyed the combat they just really need to drop a performance patch if they can fix the resolution for performance mode this game would be the only thing I play this year lol I think I spent like an hour just in the character creation 😂 but once you get to the combat the performance doesn’t bother me that much. What bothers me is seeing how good Monster hunter world looks compared to this one and that game is so old for a ps4 game but it looks like 10x better than a ps5 game. Still I’m glad I got the game I have no regrets if they plan on fixing the small problems then I’ll be sticking around for a while since it’s actually a good game it’s just not a feast for the eyes yet. I’m not a EA basher lol tho they did ruin battlefield doesn’t mean they ruin every game, like the new need for speed I actually enjoy it and still play it lol I know a lot of people hate the game.
Samesy. We haven't had as many issues with frame drops playing on Xbox Series X, even when there are 3 of us building and blasting. This game is definitely fun though. So looking forward to patches.
I'm glad that, despite the graphical issues, it looks like a great game. The team behind it should be proud to have been able to find success where they were unfortunately unable to with Toukiden 2.
Here we are two weeks later and the game runs perfectly fine. All day one complainer should learn some patience. It's annoying for a brand new game to have issues, but they do tend to fix those issues.
Thankfully, the performance and graphics issues are nigh immediately being addressed as a patch is being released next week to alleviate or even fix those issues on all platforms. So optimism is gonna be key here. I have seen so much negativity thrown at this game already because of these issues but, rest assured they will be fixed.
I was low-key super excited for this game then saw that it was made with EA and got super nervous but this video throws those out the window can't wait to try it and maybe buy it too
"monster hunter is a niche genre" dude is absolutely clueless. Niche in the west maybe, but it was already a hugely successful series before 5th gen lol
Once this gets patched and the peformance is improved on console at least, I'll probably be checking this out, and your glowing recommendation certainly helped! I've never played a Monster Hunter before but the fact this one sounds a bit easier to get into - and it has a very medieval Japanese aesthetic which I love - makes it much more appealing to me.
@@nekrumzero8117 I can't play Wild Hearts online because it says that I need to reset my password, I did, but they keep telling me that I need to reset my password. Do you know what issue I'm talking about?
EVERYONE TURN OFF MOTION BLUR THERE IT SEEMS BUGGED OUT AND SEEMS TO JUST BLUR EVERYTHING WHEN YOUR HARDLY EVEN MOVING as soon as I turned it off I immediately noticed the game perform alot better
Can you fight without using this building structures during fight with monster? I know this has been mentioned but wanted to make sure. It's not necessary to use this function at all and I'll still have fun?
I had to set prioritize performance instead of resolution in game settings and also disabled motion blur and the game played and looked 10x better. This is playing on A PS5 with "4k hdr" TV. Most likely will need a patch to fix whatever is goin on with res and frame rate. With that being said, after I adjusted the settings i've been having soooo much fun with this game
Thank you for the review. I appreciate the before you buys from this channel. One thing i missed though: how will the multiplayer Mode Look like. Is it like in MH, that you cannot explore coop but play already accomplished missions together "again" or did they finally change that? The Performance issues when playing Solo probably already answer this one... ?
Yeah I felt exactly the same as you when I tried out this Wild hearts, I was intrigued because of the previous dynasty warriors titles and early dynasty warriors was good very good, this wild hearts has all the right mechanics and new elements added to the monster hunter genre with the crafting traps and wooden blocks for setting up different attacks, but the performance of this game and graphics are poor running on next gen consoles it looks like beyond last gen graphically, but it's an ok game . Keep up the awesome try before you buy videos
Wow! "Doom clones" sent me on a trip through time! I last remember that phrase from reading it in a physical copy of PC Gamer Magazine. Thank you for the nostalgia rush, Falcon. From: a fellow 'old' person
Here's my quick input. Ive got about 1200 hours in mhw if that gives this little bit just a little more credibility lol. Review in progress, the world is endearing, loving the color pallette, monsters are great and challenging, the weapons are fun and require a learning curve, the frame rate is pretty bad at times, some lighting issues, the camera gets lost in itself often, but that all being said I can't help but want to play it when I'm at work, and I can't wait to sink more time into it. Definitely try it out on ea play if you can 10 hour demo on there. 👍

For anyone reading this:
Wild Hearts has an issues, that the devs know about and have posted on the steam page, the Code is not using your GPU to process the graphics but your CPU. So if you have a weak CPU, the game will run very poorly, but if you have a monster of a CPU, you should be able to play it a comfortable levels. They are working on this and expect the have a fix by the next week at the latest.
I am able to run this game on my PC on the lowest settings and always stay above 30fps, but yeah, this game looks amazing when it works.
I promise this game will be worth the 70$ once they fix the Coding error so that is uses your GPU. This could also explain why it runs smoother on the PS5 than on other devices of similar power like low-end PCs or Xbox.
So definitely keep this game on your wishlist and who knows, maybe you will be able to get the game at a discount by the time it is fixed. The devs also got EA to agree to NO MTX, so 70$, maybe one DLC and that's it.
Please support this game if they do fix the GPU issue, this game is really fun and I don't want this game to turn out like Blur...I miss Blur...
Thank you for another great before you buy. You guys do us a real service with these.
Our pleasure!
This game simply doesn't have the heart that MH has. There's only a handful of franchises in existence than can illicit the triumphant, downright orgasmic feeling of raw *HYPE* as a new Monster Hunter reveal trailer with 'Proof of a Hero' playing in the background.
I swear this channel has saved me from so much heart ache and brought me so much hidden gems
that part
I’ve been having so much fun with this , feels like what it felt like in the monster hunter world days
So excited to play this when it's all ironed out... I really am. I just wish we could get back to a point where things work as intended upon release.
Games are vecoming more and more under optimized while they pile on more and more assets. On top of that since computers are still doubling in power every few years they have no need to optimize
dont preorder games then and they will stop doing this shit
@@natem355
Judging from his comment, it doesn't sound like he's a pre-orderer.
Anytime EA manages to put out a great game the entire gaming community is delighted yet perplexed. I've been keeping my eye on this one since the reveal, glad it turned out to be a fun game. Definitely need to play it.
I would say their track record is better than Konami to say the least.
"great game" MH knockoff. My grandma could have produced this game with funding.
@@ArthaxtaDaVince777mad much
Haven’t heard about Wild Hearts too much so thanks for the review Falcon. You basically answered all the questions I had about it considering it was a similar type of game to Monster Hunter! Might check it out after Atomic Heart!
probably by then they will fix the performance for PC and previous consoles, good call.
LMAO broooooo I was in the same boat with Atomic Heart until I read your comment... I was like wth is Atomic Heart? I immediately went to steam and no I have it pre ordered. All your fault. Hahaha
@@tone19xx atomic heart is coming to Xbox game pass if you have that.
@@tone19xx Lol I didn’t realize how similar the names were until just now but tbf they look completely different 👀🤣
@@tone19xx stop preordering games bro ur part of the problem for why game companies are shoving unfinished bullshit out the door
The Monkey doing a Vulcano boosted drop-kick sold me. That shit is awesome
it might be a small detail but when i saw you can build a "mirror" to freely edit your character i was very pleased. for some reason in monster hunter world you had to pay real cash to buy a ticket to edit your character's looks. and i also heard Wild Hearts devs will be giving free DLC updates so at the end of the day i will fully purchase this game
Free dlc updates? Awesome man, as a mh fan, this game is really awesome
In a way it's good a game like this is coming out. I think Capcom started making more of these microtransactions for just basic things like character editing because there was no competition in sight. Hopefully with Wild Hearts will make them think twice before slapping microtransactions
As for the graphical issues, it has been confirmed by the Devs that they will be fixing up everything in a patch next week. So if you're the type of person who really needs the graphics and stuff to be up to par (or you're playing on PC) then I would recommend waiting for the patch. Me personally, I have been really excited about the game and already pre-ordered. Plus I'm not really the type to care either. But yes a patch will be coming to fix all that. And if you're worried about microtransactions it's also been confirmed that there will be none. If you're worried about endgame it's been confirmed that there will be in endgame and free title updates as well. I'm getting all of this information from a dev QnA btw.
I was waiting for this one! I've put in well over 500 hours between World and Rise, so i'm definitely looking forward to this despite the graphical issues. Always love the before you buys.
Not here to persuade you one way or the other, but on PC the game is borderline unplayable (regardless of hardware or settings). I know he played up the framerate and stuttering issues a lot, but somehow it's even worse. Coming from MHR it's certainly jarring.
@@Nightenstaff glad I pre ordered on ps5 instead of pc. Love my computer but that seems to be the case this generation. Dropping a rushed pc port and seeing if the community complains enough and if they do fix it within 48 hours. Done with it, if it’s a pre order and it’s not a shooter. It’s on ps5 for now while the hardware is still current and capable
@@donovanlankford2089 you get to choose your pronouns too, so you know this game is going to be awesome lol
Cringe
@@codysimpson911 No one cares about these things. Go back to twitter with that bullshit. Better yet. Leave your delusions and mental health issues between yourself and your therapist.
One of my favorite parts about MH is that when you break parts, the limp and are reactive. Dauntless does the broken parts pretty well. You can see tails, horns, etc fall off and them react accordingly. Does this game do any of that?
Yes most monsters have like tails or horns that can be broken off. They also limp when they are about to die.
He talks about this in the video. Idc if this is a year old.
@@skinnytoadd1820are you into monster hunter and if you are, do you like this game?
@@2_572yes it’s good tbh
Just picked this up. It was released free on EA for Xbox. I honestly love it. I haven’t experienced the visual issues but maybe once or twice in 20hrs of gameplay. Definitely going into my list of fave games of 2023.
ive seen alot of negative reviews, i want to like it just wondering why its so mixed on steam
Been playing it all night past the 11:00 release. Got to the town.
I really don't care about Monster Hunter, I just feel it's too simplistic with a lot of annoyances. But I'm loving this. Takes the more annoying things and just replaces it with more fun interactions with the environment.
There's a lot of very impactful things you can do during gameplay. Like when I created a giant wall to make a boar go flying, just put that goofy smile on my face.
I'm also right now placing a bunch of buildings in my realm, just to make it fun to traverse.
Been playing it on release! I’d say it’s incredibly beautiful but has huge fps issues on day one, hope they patch out any performance issues soon.
@Crows Wit I can play early thru ea play
It’s what’s keeping me from getting the game, I really hope they drop a performance patch over the weekend or something so I can actually pick up the game and enjoy it.
@@dbzcollector9963 they said next week they will have a patch but they have done a patch I haven’t had the performance issues just the sound bug
@@antigo2hard I see I might still pick it up mainly cause I really like monster hunter and this looks right up my alley.
@Crows Wit get an ea play trial you can play for ten hours to satisfy you that's what I'm doing now
The performance issues aside, I’m not the least bit mad about dropping the 65$ for this game. Honestly compared to some of the other games that have been released in the last couple years this is defiantly one of my favorites. Although there’s only so much gameplay you can do. It feels really great while your playing it.
Are the graphical issues resolved now ?
going to put this game on my Wishlist. I tried getting into MHW, but i just couldnt. I got bored pretty quickly since the only thing you do is fight monsters (like duh, thats the title right?) but I figured thered at least be some side quests, side activities, but it really was, fight a monster, unlock the next one, go back out and fight the next one, rinse repeat. Not sure there's much more than that here, but like i said, Wishlist, wait for a sale, and maybe I'll give it a try.
That's literally the basis of the whole franchise and it's the same thing with monster hunter inspired games, wild hearts has exactly the same gamplay loop.
@@nekrumzero8117 yea I know. But I liked the extra things they add to the right in this one.
This game honestly felt like such a blast! Tried it for two hours with EA play, and the only thing holding me back from picking it up is the performance. I really hope they are able to fix it soon!
Do you really pay for EA play.. or does it come with something ?
It’s included with Gamepass if you’re on Xbox. You’ll have to pay for it on PS.
@@is370 just montlhy 4 euros so to test is it’s a great thing
@@is370 free with gamepass if you have an Xbox
@@droopybeagle wild hearts require ea play pro tho. no?
Ign, hasn’t been relevant for a long time, Gameranx is no bullshit, no drama, politics, just games and jakes hair. Best channel
Love the game! PS5. It was amazing enough for me in other departments to overlook any shortcomings. I'm really looking for art direction, style, gameplay, music, fun factor - all of that before graphics anyway - and it really delivered on all of those other things. I don't really care about graphics, but if they can improve it some, or get more investment into development and optimization for a sequel great! What is here I loved. As regards the performance, it ran ok on the PS5. Some frame drops. Nothing that really impeded my play, but if you com to games for graphics and performance first, this may not be a game for you. There is a patch coming next week to address some things for PC players and maybe over time, some optimization for console, but I am happy enough with where it is, due to other qualities it has.
Rise on Switch feels great let's be real, and honestly a hell of a lot better than Wild Hearts in its current state. Really hoping for a fix, I want to like this game so bad.
Thank you for the review! I think I am going to hold off till they fix some of the graphical issues. I love these style of games, but I want to take break and play something different. Probably going to buy Hogwarts Legacy and purchase this one later. I will definitely buy it. I like to focus on one game at a time and go all in.
Good luck
HL is so boring to me after lvl14
Thanks for the in depth review! I've not played any Monster Hunter games, but this makes the genre look really fun. Just may wait for a few patches to come out before buying.
Also...I saw that you sneak up and pet non-aggressive wildlife, so that's another bonus.
No problem!
MH genre is very addicting but also very difficult.
Man this is turning out to be great year for games so far and it's only February
Great year for games, terrible year for pc performance :(
@@ActNasty5 I thought PC was god tier lol
FYI if anyone is using the Nodachi in this game:
Don't think of it as a MH Greatsword! While you're holding RT in the Iai stance, you can continue attacking to build the meter a LOT quicker to get to that final move at max meter
Was thinking about posting this, that puppy charges super fast with each charged strike.
The game has been updated and the performance issue are so much better now. I would definitely give this game a try. It is fun.
Yeah, can confirm this. Just bought it yesterday and i’m having a blast. It’s sad that many people are not going to touch this because of the bad launch. I am actually enjoying this more than World or Rise. This is my GOTY.
This game is so fun I can deal with the crap resolution and performance. Really hope they iron it out because this game is amazing. The karakuri system is incredible and combat is so fluid.
It's a blast. I just hope they fix the performance stuff so more people want to hop in thus more support in the future. It's gonna need like 20 more monsters to really compete
👍🏼
One thing i recommend doing when playing is unbind jump. And bind dodge on the previous jump button its much more usefull xD
Thank you for all your hard work I absolutely appreciate the heck out of you guys for before you buy and for Friday news recap 🤙🏽
Can def tell they learned from their earlier Toukiden games. They've taken a lot of stuff i think they wanted to put in those games but couldn't due to the limitations at the time. One thing i wish they'd done was put some of those weapons in this game.
When running on PC can you put HW in the description please
Maybe I’m too used to mhw but the performance issues, especially the stuttering fucks with my sight so badly it’s hard to position for attacks. XD also you can rollback weapon upgrades and get your mats back in mhw
7:53 that hammer bashing that thing's head is one of the funniest things I saw in a video game
I actually liked deteriorating sharpness in the old monster hunter games it added to the feeling of growth from a newbie to an advanced hunter after learning to go in fully prepared with the items you needed for every hunt kind of like remembering to keep enough paintballs on you so you can mark your monster otherwise you would fail the hunt trying to find where the monster ran off to
I can see why they're making monster hunter more mainstream but I miss the difficulty/rewarding feeling of the old games on the psp and 3ds
There's SOME parts to what you're saying but there's also a wall where you have to recognize it's not difficulty and reward just tedium and monotony. It's not DIFFICULT to bring paintballs, it's not REWARDING to stop fighting and throw a paintball cause it wore off. Being fully prepared and doing the "hunter" experience is a thing vs the brute force beat down but to me that's things like the shock traps, part breaks, environmental traps etc.
@@thatrandomguyo1 100% this. As someone who's been playing MH since Freedom Unite I'm glad they got rid of all that tedious shit.
@@thatrandomguyo1 not sure why you're writing in all caps I know how to read but like I said I get it some people want to just get right to it and fight the cool monster with a gps that takes you right to it and a system that auto crafts everything for you as you pick up random stuff and other people like the micro management of everything and enjoy having to find and hunt the monster down and having to remember the crafting recipe. What you see as tedious I saw as a unique game experience that although could be frustrating at times added to the difficult learning curve and ultimately the reward of successfully hunting the monster.
@@yung-tuwei2284 I've also been playing since monster hunter freedom unite and I didn't see it as tedious I just saw it as part of the learning curve because that's just what the game was. I found world pretty boring to play because it crafted for you, it gave you unlimited whetstone, the firefly gps, and all the other ways it held your hand.
I kinda miss when the game wouldn't play itself for you and when the fights lasted longer then a few minutes. There are already games that focus on going straight to fighting the monster/boss and I wish that monster hunter would have kept more of the hunt in it instead of making it streamlined but I can see why they did it in order to grow the audience.
@@P1anBeaner Writing in all caps? I used caps on 3 words as emphasis, but I guess that sort of ends the convo if you wanna just ignore what I said and go to passive aggressive insults. Have a good day.
Thanks for the video y'all! Such a huge bummer that so many games are being released before they're ready.. The reviews on Steam are atrooocious, which I think is fair. $70 for a game that doesn't work? Nope.
You guys are the best when it comes to reviewing games. Thank you for your long commitment to doing well by consumers.
For graphics issues just turn off the motion blur and it greatly improves the quality of graphics also improves the FPS
I played the 10 hour trial and I love it! The graphics are definitely a bit bad sometimes and when I first played on Monday it was laggy but they patched it and honestly I'm happy they didn't focus on the graphics aspect because I use a bow and its incredible how many combos I can do with the bow alone
where can i get the 10 hour trial??
@@workgmail2375 subscribe to the EA Play or whatever and then you can play it.
Only one I've seen it on is Steam, otherwise, idk about the others.
Didn't apply cuz money issues at the moment
@@workgmail2375 ea game pass
once you get the game make sure to turn off motion blur. makes the game look alot better
As a huge MH fan...and a regular player of monster world...I must say this game is great...when I saw EA were involved I was worried...but I've been proven wrong... really a solid game this👌🏻💯
the monkey Kimono's moveset reminds me of the monkey boss in sekiro (also turn off motion blur when playing this game it makes a weird fuzzy effect like at 11:36)
You guys are by far the best source of gaming information out there these days. No Kidding. Thanks for the hard work and dedication.
Is there gonna be review of Scars Above ?
Review starts at 02:30
i love these videos you guys always make it a point to put the game first and not worry about what other people think or say. also im a big fan of the warriors games as well. so i was kinda worried when i saw they where going to make a game like this, but was happy with how it came out, yes its a bit meh here and there with lag and frames but what do you expect from people that make games that have you playing a op character that KOs hundreds of troops a mission. but they always listened to the people (outside of there over priced skinks and such) for their bugs and performance fixes
It’s been a month now, has it been patched????
I'm really enjoying the game myself but I wish I could convince my friends to play it lol
Also with the graphical issues! Turn off the motion blur.. it might help!
Why do people talk bad about EA but continue to give them money I don’t get it
They randomly make great games like this
I get the graphic and performance critique. Luckily for me, I am not a graphic person but the performance really needs to be good for such a fast paced game.
I was playing this game last night and I’ve been enjoying it a lot. Yea it has its problems and issues but compared to the last game they made they hit this one out of the park. I’m just really glad that there is now another fun and good hunting game. I don’t think this could take down monster Hunter at all but I do hope the monster Hunter developers get some inspiration from this game for the next monster Hunter game. I would love to see the hunting games like this to become a big and popular genre.
As someone who isn't put off by not perfect graphics or performance this game sounds awesome. Will get it soon.
5 months later I finally remembered to buy it. :)
I'm always looking forward to your "Before You Buy", even if I'm not so interested in the game!
🤝👍🏼
This is a spiritual successor to the Toukiden games of the same devs, which also went head to head with the Monster Hunter games of that time period. Toukiden 2 ended with a visual theme where the medieval Japanese theme was starting to combine with the Karakuri theme. There was literally a partner NPC in 2 that was a human soul fused onto a Karakuri body. I'm quite surprised and disappointed Falcon seems to not know of these games when they were actually good and quite unique at the time. Toukiden 2 was even impressive for being a seemingly open-world-ish Monster Hunter game before World was a thing, and it had a Vita version too for portable players. Might want to at least try 2 since it's definitely quite fun even now. Only thing I dislike with this new game is that it's EA. "You use a launcher to launch another launcher that launches a launcher that launches the game."...should be enough to tell you why I dislike EA.
The little side stories with the partners in the first game were pretty nice too. I accidentally completed Nagi's story at the perfect time and had her talk about her experience with medicine just before the ice turtle mission where you tank a boulder for her and she ends up operating on you.
This game seems interesting and it has a lot of elements that I really would enjoy but the performance problems are a huge no for me. Hopefully they can do a performance patch to fix things soon then maybe I’ll pick the game up but for now it looks like a hard pass.
👍🏼
You were never interested lol, just keep it real
@@hartfantom not true I’ve read a few comments about how they already plan on dropping a performance patch soon so I already ordered the physical copy from Best Buy it gets here Saturday lol
@@dbzcollector9963 hey, that’s great but I’ve seen a ton of people use performance as a cover up to be dismissive towards the game and it’s annoying. The developers really did make a phenomenal game outside of performance issues. Elden Rings performance issues legit stopped nobody from buying that game so when I hear people trying to trash wild Hearts for performance only, it irritates me because gamers nowadays tend to be pretty big
a$$holes towards developers they don’t have a implicit bias towards. All people saw was “EA” and “monster hunter kinda game” and decided to try smearing wild hearts
@@hartfantom I played the first hour and it was pretty good I really enjoyed the combat they just really need to drop a performance patch if they can fix the resolution for performance mode this game would be the only thing I play this year lol I think I spent like an hour just in the character creation 😂 but once you get to the combat the performance doesn’t bother me that much. What bothers me is seeing how good Monster hunter world looks compared to this one and that game is so old for a ps4 game but it looks like 10x better than a ps5 game. Still I’m glad I got the game I have no regrets if they plan on fixing the small problems then I’ll be sticking around for a while since it’s actually a good game it’s just not a feast for the eyes yet. I’m not a EA basher lol tho they did ruin battlefield doesn’t mean they ruin every game, like the new need for speed I actually enjoy it and still play it lol I know a lot of people hate the game.
Samesy. We haven't had as many issues with frame drops playing on Xbox Series X, even when there are 3 of us building and blasting. This game is definitely fun though. So looking forward to patches.
Palichos? lol, did that bother anyone else.
I'm glad that, despite the graphical issues, it looks like a great game. The team behind it should be proud to have been able to find success where they were unfortunately unable to with Toukiden 2.
Here we are two weeks later and the game runs perfectly fine. All day one complainer should learn some patience. It's annoying for a brand new game to have issues, but they do tend to fix those issues.
👍🏼
Thankfully, the performance and graphics issues are nigh immediately being addressed as a patch is being released next week to alleviate or even fix those issues on all platforms. So optimism is gonna be key here. I have seen so much negativity thrown at this game already because of these issues but, rest assured they will be fixed.
As always the best before you buy out, keep up the great work 👍🏽
Thanks, will do!

Looks like another game that launched too early
"Really aggressive monkey" instant Vietnam flashbacks to Rajang
"monster hunter is a niche genre" dude is absolutely clueless. Niche in the west maybe, but it was already a hugely successful series before 5th gen lol
Once this gets patched and the peformance is improved on console at least, I'll probably be checking this out, and your glowing recommendation certainly helped! I've never played a Monster Hunter before but the fact this one sounds a bit easier to get into - and it has a very medieval Japanese aesthetic which I love - makes it much more appealing to me.
lets call monster hunter world clone
How do you play multiplayer on this game and how it feels to play multiplayer in this game?
You can join another player's hunt via the several portals on each map or trough the map screen.
@@nekrumzero8117 I can't play Wild Hearts online because it says that I need to reset my password, I did, but they keep telling me that I need to reset my password. Do you know what issue I'm talking about?
Lol. look at steam reviews. It's awful
EVERYONE TURN OFF MOTION BLUR THERE IT SEEMS BUGGED OUT AND SEEMS TO JUST BLUR EVERYTHING WHEN YOUR HARDLY EVEN MOVING as soon as I turned it off I immediately noticed the game perform alot better
"Before you buy." They ask for your favorite pronouns... Mine are uninstall/yes
Can you fight without using this building structures during fight with monster?
I know this has been mentioned but wanted to make sure. It's not necessary to use this function at all and I'll still have fun?
The game is balanced around using them, you could opt-out of using them but it would make each hunt an uphill battle.
I had to set prioritize performance instead of resolution in game settings and also disabled motion blur and the game played and looked 10x better. This is playing on A PS5 with "4k hdr" TV. Most likely will need a patch to fix whatever is goin on with res and frame rate. With that being said, after I adjusted the settings i've been having soooo much fun with this game
nice to see the channel is back to getting review copies 👍 hopefully that means more before you buy videos
This game asked me what my pronouns were and immediately uninstalled the trial.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Must suck to be such a snowflake that pronouns bother you that much. 😂
Thank you for the review. I appreciate the before you buys from this channel.
One thing i missed though: how will the multiplayer Mode Look like. Is it like in MH, that you cannot explore coop but play already accomplished missions together "again" or did they finally change that?
The Performance issues when playing Solo probably already answer this one... ?
Another dodge dodge dodge dodge attack dodge dodge dodge dodge attack game. Nah.
Yeah I felt exactly the same as you when I tried out this Wild hearts, I was intrigued because of the previous dynasty warriors titles and early dynasty warriors was good very good, this wild hearts has all the right mechanics and new elements added to the monster hunter genre with the crafting traps and wooden blocks for setting up different attacks, but the performance of this game and graphics are poor running on next gen consoles it looks like beyond last gen graphically, but it's an ok game . Keep up the awesome try before you buy videos
Wow! "Doom clones" sent me on a trip through time! I last remember that phrase from reading it in a physical copy of PC Gamer Magazine.
Thank you for the nostalgia rush, Falcon.

I base all my future game purchases on these videos. Thanks for all your hard work.
I always watch your review on games before buying it! Thanks for everything so far! Following you for years now!
Monster Hunter with better movement, faster combat, is all I can think of
Here's my quick input. Ive got about 1200 hours in mhw if that gives this little bit just a little more credibility lol. Review in progress, the world is endearing, loving the color pallette, monsters are great and challenging, the weapons are fun and require a learning curve, the frame rate is pretty bad at times, some lighting issues, the camera gets lost in itself often, but that all being said I can't help but want to play it when I'm at work, and I can't wait to sink more time into it. Definitely try it out on ea play if you can 10 hour demo on there. 👍
