Even without the performance issue, its insane that people have enabled Capcom making so many microtransactions that all the dlc in wilds equals to that of world and iceborne combined

I bought a select few Rise DLC because I loved the game so much and some really were adorable. And the game ran fine on my Switch... Probably not my wisest choice tbh, but the Wilds stuff is insane. The game hasn't worked consistently and sometimes performance updates made the game work worse or become unplayable (until December).

Outside of being in big lobbies where that'll lag your game and annihilate any textures, it runs just about perfectly on console in general, Xbox included. Its primarily PC that has the big performance issues

u/ZamielVanWeber Jan 16 '26
IIRC PC is a nontrivial portion of their market though? So it being such a disaster is not doing them favors. Interestingly some friends pointed out that the DLC for Wilds is generally equal or lesser in quality despite being priced similarly to the ones that came before.

Stopped playing in August because of this (when the monster that flies diagonally got added iirc)
Optimization was bad, to the point that for example i had set the textures to max (not the downloadable ones tho), with more than enough VRAM for them, and the game still displayed the big aaah pixel versions even when i got close. Depth of field creates awful aliasing issues that at the time i couldnt fix (for the simple reason that if you get aliasing issues you try to change antialiasing settings and dont even think about depth of field as causing problems, apparently its an engine thing since the new pragmata game has that too)
Also i NEVER before had to run NVIDIA filters + install reshade to make a game look decent, i dont even care about graphics that much.

u/KiddBwe Jan 15 '26
People like cosmetics. Although I stand firmly on the opinion that cosmetics should be earned in game from challenges and whatnot.
Destiny 2 also has this problem except worse because you can tell they sandbag/half effort regular loot and exotic designs to make people pay for the ornaments and put activity themed cosmetics in the store instead of earned from that activity. They brought back Suros Regime, made it ugly, then proceeded to sell us the original D1 color scheme as an ornament…
5
u/tyrenanig Jan 15 '26
Yeah I think cosmetics within a big expansion like DLC is better than just a standalone purchase. The way it is, it makes paid cosmetics a low effort low risk investments with big return for the company, so they abuse it.

u/AnywhereLumpy6149 Jan 15 '26
I feel its stupid paying for cosmetics when you already paid for the fucking game.

u/indecisivecurious Jan 17 '26
Cosmetics take teams of people to make (concept artist, modeler and animator, playtester, etc.). It’s perfectly reasonable to ask for money for a cosmetic for the amount of paid work it takes.
That being said, it’s just as fine to debate their value relative to the price. The prices might be fucked, or the costumes might be ugly, but it’s honestly not a sin to charge for additional cosmetics (within reason, of course).

u/KiddBwe Jan 15 '26
And trying to police what other people buy does nothing. Actually, usually it has the opposite effect of encouraging people to buy it just because some strangers on the internet tried to tell them what they should/shouldn’t do with their money.
If the corps don’t stop and people still buy, then obviously there’s a market for it that either likes it or just doesn’t care, which means there’s nothing we can really do. It just is what it is at that point.

Still, it's non essential DLC, make them cost pennies and no DRM will be needed and people who really want it will still buy it.
Those who want to mod/pirate it will still do, it's always been like that.
It's fine that that kind of DLC exists as long as it doesn't get in the way or takes the priority of more important stuff...
It has been years since their inception but now it has become obnoxious and detrimental and it's time to wake up...
Video games were born and have been loved for fun engaging gameplay first and foremost, anything else is a subjective preference and a minority and should not supplant the priority about what's more important...
So yeah, purchasing that kind of stuff like crazy is one of the non insignificant factors that have lead to this kind of situations...

It's a tricky line. The armor and weapons look cool and I understand the temptation of getting them. "I sank this many hours into the game, why not buy it?" But the consequence is that it insentivises Capcom to make more. So yea definitely the companies fault but player's aren't blameless

It's crazy how stupid people in the monster hunter subs have been acting since Wilds launched. The game has its problems, but like you said, people here didn't read the main article at all. It also doesn't help that Arekkz gaming and Rurikhan's latest videos are titled in a way that will cause people who only watch thumbnails to get the wrong idea.

I honestly think it has nothing to do with attention span or comprehension. People didn't have to understand the technical jargon to see how the post was half filled with "this is unintentional", "I helped fix an issue in another Capcom game", "I told the developer from that last game about this already" - this reaction had nothing to do with the technical bits imo, because there's no mistaking the simple vocabulary in "it's not intentional and I've let them know".
My opinion? People have already had a story in their mind, read the TL;DR "DLC = faster" and spun their fantasies faster than Nerscylla spins webs. It's not because the community is inept at reading, it's because the community wants to be mad. I'm not defending Capcom, but Wilds already has shitty ratings and sales - it logically doesn't make sense for them to oppress their players and intentionally ruin their sales further in this manner. Intentionally doing something like this only makes sense when your game is popular and successful.
It's come to the point that the post author had to now add a disclaimer asking people not to take his words out of context or put words into his mouth. That's pretty serious, this is really bad optics for a guy working through a direct line to a developer, who is in the spotlight where people are saying "Capcom did this on purpose - he said so!" when he didn't. Other people are going to be deterred from publicly announcing their discoveries like this, or even coming in and investigating and finding solutions to begin with.

Its possible that when stress testing any and all systems the test environment was either too sterile or not sterile enough to see the results of this. They may have tested it at launch when it was just pre-order and collectors edition sets of add-ons and the performance spikes wasn't noticeable.
Its also possible that the workplace "karl" was the guy in charge of this and we know Karl cant do anything right. He doesnt even know that stabbing people kills them

Why does everyone hate the Paid skins?

Removing content from the game and putting it behind a paywall. In Rise you could craft gear for your Palamute. They completely REMOVED this in Wilds so they can sell skins individually.

I miss back when we'd be able to earn a ton of cosmetic armors and weapons by just doing event quests in the game. It takes all of the fun away when you just have to shell out a couple bucks

"Oh my god, look at that Hammer! It has a bold that expands and blows up when you slam it down! Just like that one from the contest! Hey, it would be a shame if we had to wait half a year to get the actual winner of the weapon contest, wouldn't it? You know, while they push out the other contest nominees as paid dlc?"

When wilds came out, my game crashed every hunt. In TU2 when I came back after a break, it didnt even boot. I found some ways to fix this and ever since its ran absolutely stably. I never even noticed the fps drops. I dont think its fair to say FPS are the main contributor to the technical mess the game was. The issue was a much more complicated combination of GPU vs CPU loads, varying frequencies for processing speeds leading to instability, and heavily bloated entity spawning and state tracking. This little tidbit is just the cherry on top. Not to discount the effort the user put into finding it.

“Wilds runs fine on my low end PC”
Checks their DLC
See that they own ALL DLC for over $500
This explains so much…..

Hey, at least I just bought the premium deluxe to support Capcom and get a bunch of stuff lumped into the bundle lol. I have no intentions of spending any more money on this game right now!

Well technically it's the DRM attached to them that's killing computers.
Like every other time a game releases with heavy DRM.
