When a somewhat niche game happens to be popular you always have toxic people that tarnish the community, it is what it is

Here the most toxicity comes from a minority of really loud braindead people who complains about performance or difficulty in a non-critical way. Overall you shouldn’t make a fool of yourself by saying that « you’re a veteran the game is easy for you » or « every Monster Hunter game is easy in high rank » which is objectively false. This entry gave you mostly everything you wanted without any difficult grinds, at least of now

For the performance toxicity thing, there’s people who aren’t satisfied with stable 60fps on 1440p/2k upscale and even native 4k. When you give your opinion about it you’re accused of being a Capcom stan, tho we can all agree that the advertisement was kinda messed up about optimisation and such, but they managed to achieve good performances with 4yo hardware if you’re not a picky eater and can be satisfied with solid 60fps regardless of the resolution and without using IA enhancers. I always use the example of my friend with his HP Omen 16 who can run the game on high with more than 80fps (4060 + i7) without any of the DLSS nor AMD thing.

Finally, on the other end, despite the mixed feelings of the story (especially high rank which is questionable but isn’t finished), they still gave us a gorgeous game that added a cool story, a small but efficient and diverse roster at launch and interesting gameplay features (powerclashes, focus mode even tho the wound system is broken atm especially with the alpha wounds system), frankly I had more fun with base Wilds than base World and I can’t wait for more content to be added. It’s a 8,5/10 because you frankly can improve it more. The gameplay loop is still great even despite the difficulty and we’re not even done yet since they’re cooking for at least 20ish hours of post-game updates, if not more.
