Anyway. Yes, it needs some further work. I hope they take care of it, there's a good game under there that doesn't deserve the weird frame drops and pixelated textures.

The Jin Dahaad fight is pretty great, it's like beating up a living radiator #Gaming #MonsterHunterWilds #MonsterHunter

So the mainline story is only about 20 hours long. Honestly I don't know what people were on about when they said it "feels unfinished," that felt like a solid ending to me. #Gaming #MonsterHunterWilds #MonsterHunter

Honestly it's nice to see they finally got to use that Dragon Weapon idea that everyone went gaga over when it showed up in that art book as an unused early concept.

I dunno how I feel about them canonizing the Ancient Civilization as being a self-destroying group of genetic manipulators. A civilization that died out because it was misusing the cycle of life is DEFINITELY in character for MH, but it's such a common concept #Gaming #MonsterHunterWilds #MonsterHunter

Would you believe I saw someone complain the story was too similar to Lord of the Rings? I want to watch the version of LotR THAT person was watching #Gaming #MonsterHunterWilds #MonsterHunter

Also I appreciate how they handled everyone looking at World and going "this feels kinda colonizing?"

-You specifically set up a *temporary* base camp, you're not starting a colony like in World

-When the locals tell you to fuck off, you do actually fuck off.

-In the ending, when an aide says "hey, now we can set up in the Eastlands!" the Guild leader says "No, they have to invite us in. It's not our land."

It's nice #Gaming #MonsterHunterWilds #MonsterHunter

Also I like that Alma, your Handler, specifically has to authorize you to hunt things. Points up that you're not there just casually wiping out species because they looked at you funny.

'Course that does create a little friction later in the game when you're just seeing what pops up in a given environment and running off to kill it for a new pair of shoes, but #MonsterHunter #MonsterHunterWilds #gaming

@CactuarJoe the ole' narrative-gameplay balance. It's tricky.

@CactuarJoe cus like, it'd be tedious to be like "need new shoes, plz authorize hunt"

Minerva's taken to sitting next to me while I hunt. Nice to have an IRL Palico :3 #MonsterHunter #MonsterHunterWilds #Gaming

I think Xu Wu may be my favorite new monster. A leech octopod with extendible needle-like blades at the tip of each arm that it can fire off at you, plus it's got a mouth like a big glowing blue W and a nice hat #MonsterHunter #MonsterHunterWilds #Gaming

Ha ha oh man the best post-hunt victory screen yet #MonsterHunter #MonsterHunterWilds #Gaming

Anyway that's a three-hour session and no crashes, I'm calling that a win. Hopefully no further annoyances crop up.

Mark my words, they're gonna add Rajang to #MonsterHunterWilds and have an arena quest with all the great apes at once. They're gonna call it A Barrel of Monkeys. I'm bookmarking this toot, I am absolutely 100% right about this. #MonsterHunter #Gaming
