Wot I Think – Monster Hunter: World

“The plural of ‘monster’ is ‘monst’.”
Nietzsche, probably.

Welcome hunter. If you’ve already got a decent idea of what the hunting of monst is all about, and you’re just here to make sure the rescue from the darkest recesses of console exclusivity went smoothly, you’ll want to head over to Katharine’s rundowns. For the record, my own experience has been largely positive since the latest patch went live. A couple of brief hiccups when things got hectic, but nothing major. Frequently I found myself admiring the frames and going “mmmm, yes. This is a good amount of frames”. If you want more frames, you can always turn off Volume Rendering Quality in the menu, which gets rid of the game’s fog effects and improves performance a lot. It is a very nice fog though.

Right, now the nerds have left, let’s talk about cats! If you’re on the fence about Monster Hunter: World, the Palico companions are a good litmus test. They protec. They attac. They increase your survivability by sporadically using healing wasp sac. They’re also all over the marketing material, so you probably know whether or not you find them cloying already. If not, and your first thought upon seeing one was “I can’t wait to murder a big pink fluffy bat so I can make this lad a smol pink fluffy hat”, then you’re probably on board for what the game’s got in its magic bag. The bag, by the way, is part of a fresh and sporty athleisure spring/summer collection made from a dragon’s arsehole.
