No surprise here, but it looks like ass in performance mode on a standard PS5. Textures are horrible.

In game feels better performance wise than the benchmark at least for the areas we have unlocked but still can't hit consistent 120 cap without frame gen with 4090/7800x3d at max settings.

Didn't need to set up dlss 4 (3.5 is in game atm), but with frame gen and the settings I had in benchmark it was at my 120 cap pretty much the entire time with max settings and I didn't notice any artifacting or input lag. Think if they give it another once over and get the 3.5 dlss to 4 on release it should be much better for 4 & 5 series users.

Otherwise it's just play at stable 60 fps cap instead and not worry about frame gen etc. ;[

I think i'm gonna have to figure out how to tweak my keybinds to make it not aids to get any decent time in this. All I did was the little intro fight so far, with dual blades. Holding rmb and then clicking middle mouse button to throw shit is terrible. Holding a side mouse button and then pressing shift etc to do certain attacks is also not great feeling but not quite as awkward. Maybe I just need to get the feel for the game back though, I dunno. Stopped playing Rise before the expansion came out so it's been a while.

Might try out some of the other weapons too and see if I like them. I liked the flying around and stuff with dual blades in Rise but it seems you can't do all that in this one so less intent on sticking with them.
I’m going to buy a controller, the controls with mouse and keyboard are just too janky.

Anyone recommend a good controller?

PS5 if you want access to dualsense features (adaptive triggers/haptic feedback) on supported games, but unless something has changed recently they only work while wired.
XBox if you don't care about that.

I use both, but prefer PS5 when at my PC and Xbox when I want to run wireless like via Steam Deck hooked to TV.

This is the newer version of the one I've been using for 3 years (v2) and it has been perfect. I don't care about wireless at all though. I do believe someone recommended another version in one of the Technology threads though.

8bitdo Bluetooth pro has been the best controller I've ever used.

Not sure why I have a 3 instead of a 4. Did 4 release after 2023? Either way wanted a 2nd one so I can have one for laptop + pc sooo...gonna order another.

Ordered, thank you for the recommendation! Fingers crossed that one of those buttons on the back can be mapped to PTT in discord.

Not sure but that would be really cool. I know you can rebind multikey binds like R1+Y to them but not entirely sure how you'd map it to a keypress/discord function.

PC performance, based on this beta and the benchmark (which I think is a newer build) isn't good enough on my system to buy it. I'll grab it for the PS5 Pro and hope you can turn off Ray Tracing on Balanced mode, or that the upscaled 1080p for Performance looks good.

Did all the hunts except Arkvald today, and it was fun. Very very much want to drop hundreds of hours into this.

Yeah think bench is newer. Buddy pointed out that raytracing isnt in the beta but is included in the bench.

Yeah, I couldn't find the RTX setting in the Beta build and I think a couple of other options were swapped around b/c it took me a second to find Bloom and Blur vs. the benchmark settings page.

And why they didn't release the latest build for beta is beyond me unless it was too late to do it or something relating to consoles.

I managed to play the beta with acceptable graphics and framerate...by playing in a 1080 window.

Hammer feels so god damn good. Offsets will be tricky to master though.

Restoring license for MHW Beta let me play on PS5 Pro this evening. I want to say that Resolution Mode felt smoother than with my PS5 during the first beta, while Performance mode still looked embarassingly bad and felt less than 60 at all times.

Does sprint speed feel a lot faster than in World to anyone else?

Spent all my time in the training room and yeah hammer is good. Lance will 100% be my main, it is a damage/counter machine. Just constantly going in. I think they will both benefit from stam boosts so should pair well.
