Monster Hunter Wilds Is the Latest Case of a Studio Biting Off More Than It Can Chew

by

Upon its debut, Monster Hunter Wilds received a mixed response, and rightfully so. Taking a peek at the Steam page reveals a multitude of players voicing their disappointment with the game, and I can’t help but empathize with their sentiments. It might seem minor to some, but the issues they bring up are valid and substantial.

The computer version of the game is experiencing several technical issues that remain unresolved, and it seems Capcom isn’t doing anything about it. Initially, the concept may have seemed impressive to Capcom, but the current state of the game serves as a lesson in understanding one’s capabilities.

Monster Hunters Wilds was supposed to be Capcom’s best attempt to make the franchise better





For devoted aficionados of the Monster Hunter series, you’re well aware of how immersive each setting has been in the past. Every installment offered a plethora of monsters to hunt and exciting encounters to engage with. Yet, many find the adventure in Monster Hunter Wilds somewhat underwhelming and are criticizing it as an unfinished product.

The main concern people have about Capcom’s latest release is that it seems poorly optimized, negatively impacting player enjoyment. Many Steam users have voiced this issue. Beyond technical glitches, the world of Monster Hunter Wilds appears less rich in content compared to past versions. Furthermore, cheaters are a problem within the game, detracting from the overall experience.

Improving the limited content on Monster Hunters Wilds through some DLC expansions could certainly help. But, it’s crucial that the game functions smoothly for a majority of its players, as they are currently eagerly awaiting performance improvements – this is their top priority at the moment.

It’s no secret that every Monster Hunter game has been meticulously crafted to perfection. We, as players, have high expectations and won’t accept anything less. Unfortunately, recent releases from Capcom have raised concerns among us that this new game might just be a money-making scheme, which it shouldn’t be.

Implementing microtransactions might benefit business, but incorporating them into a game that’s already broken? That’s unacceptable in any context. If the game was engaging and packed with content, no one would feel this way. Instead, fans would be eager to contribute more money to support their beloved franchise.

Will Capcom be able to redeem itself with Monster Hunter Wilds?

It’s hard to ignore the numerous issues with “Monster Hunter World,” and it seems that Capcom hasn’t addressed them yet. But we should keep a bit of optimism in our hearts since Capcom has planned an event for June 26, where they will reveal what they have been working on.

Additionally, we may catch a glimpse of the upcoming Title Update 2 for “Monster Hunter World,” hinting at the inclusion of fresh monsters. However, to make it more enjoyable for us fans, addressing the technical issues is equally important. Otherwise, the update might not deliver much value.

Capcom has immense potential, but it’s disappointing for fans to witness a decline in quality. It’s not that they don’t care about improving; rather, what’s needed is addressing the issues at hand. Once these problems are rectified, fans would gladly praise their work again.

Ultimately, whether Capcom experiences a resurgence or faces decline is entirely up to them. Critical feedback isn’t alien to any of us, and games like Helldivers 2 and No Man’s Sky have certainly faced their fair share. We’ve seen developers work tirelessly to steer their projects in the right direction, and if Capcom can manage this feat, there’s no holding back Monster Hunter World from achieving success.
