Why did Monster Hunter Wilds fail?
it didnt have authorization to succeed.
>>738689810Too much appeal to casuals and too much cutscene story bullshit. The series thrived just fine being about random hunter assigned to far flung village in need. I blame World for trying to make the entire thing grander than it needs to be, just stick to the simple original concept and come up with new interesting places and monsters for each lone hunter to go
It's fine if they want to add story, but I think they need to decouple the story with the rest of the game. Some people just want to go to the hub and hunt. So let them do that (but as an optional side thing so all the casuals keep following the story instead.)
>>738689810>system requirements insanely high>shitty performance>story getting in the way of everything because surely that's what everyone was missing in Monster Hunter>huge world that's fucking pointless because the bird will autopilot you right to the monster anyway>easy as fuck, even journalists were breezing through itTwo changes could have fixed most of the big-ticket issues; first, stop doing a big fuck-off open world in every fucking game just because you think you can. Do not listen to Redditors claiming that the big open world is so cooool and immersive, they are fucking stupid and you're not going to make the open world interesting. Bird becomes unnecessary, world feels better designed, system requirements get lower since you don't have to load the whole fucking map at once, and performance is allowed to be better. Second, fire whichever retard keeps pushing the story to the front, and double-fire the dipshit that designed Nata.
Why did anyone think this piece of shit would be good?The pre-release info was nothing but them mentioning the story emphasis and how this would be the most cinematic MH ever. And the open beta both ran horribly and had more in common with a sony movie game than it did a monster hunter game.The red flags were everywhere and only the biggest retard/crapcom fanboy didn't see them.Surprise surprise the game comes out and it's a shitty movie game that also runs terribly while looking muddy.Tokuda is a hack. Never touch anything he's in charge of desu.
>>7386929171.3 million people seemed to think it would be great!
>>738689810because it's not a monster hunter game>focus mode is the biggest upheaval of the franchise's core gameplay they've ever done, legacy skill literally does not matter>so baby shit easy even GAME REVIEWERS had to comment on how easy it was>getting materials for armor and weapons has never been more streamlined and easy>focus strike just completely dumpsters monsters until you get to 8* tempereds which have some type of wound resistance >bird car takes you automatically to your target despite the devs wasting untold amounts of time and effort trying to make the maps "immersive" >focus on a dogshit story with an annoying jeet kid literally nobody likes>no gathering hub at launch>no felyne chefs>for months the "endgame" was just killing 7* arkveld over and over and over and over and over because artian crafting was so dogshit RNG based>looks like runny baby shit 99% of the time and runs even worse despite its robust system requirementswilds is what happens when you make a game for casual retards with literally no concern about your established playerbase. and wow WHO could have predicted that not only would it turn out bad but that the people they ruined the game for would move on to the next thing in a couple of months. cue tokuda pathetically stating in an interview he hopes more people will return for the Gog update (and they fucking ruined that fight too because MUH SPEKTAKLEEEEEE XD!"tokuda should never be allowed to direct again. the game sold on sunbreak's 180 of rise and world's good will and all the pre marketing hype. then everyone played it and saw it for the piece of shit it was and it's playerbase completely cratered after 3 months. rise/sunbreak routinely outsold wilds per capcom's own quarterly reports. this game did so much harm to the franchise it's insane. which sucks because i really like alma.
>>738689810It tried to appeal to people that don't play videogames while ignoring longtime MH players.
>>738689810>Ugly lame monsters>Ugly NPCs>Cutsceneslop>Retarded writing, obnoxious story>Horrendously bad performance>Horrendously bad online play experience>Soulless art directionThey'll do it again and wonder what went wrong.
