Code might come quick. Lot of us got ours last week which is odd for GMG since it usually arrives day of.

Reading/watching every review I can find - the discourse around difficulty is interesting as it appears you can simply leave your palico at home and solo and have the difficulty be present, or they've given you a pretty op palico and ai helpers to overcome pretty much everything if you're not quite as good. Seems like a decent solution, though imperfect. I know I carted plenty in the beta to Arkveld, and carted a metric ton in MHW. Game seems a bit easier than MHW and roughly equal to Rise from what I gather, and people are just much better at the game as well after playing World. I know I'm still not great, but I'm a god compared to how I played when starting World.
Time is just moving so freaking slow, really need Thursday night to get here before my baby does!
My biggest gripe probably from reviews is performance, and lack of a home base/room/big hub. I really liked that in World and spent a bit of time capturing wildlife for my base. Also, the continued support and updating they do for these games is exciting and I'll be really interested to see a post launch roadmap heading into the expansion next year.

Every single MH release has loads of people saying "this is too easy" by those who played previous iterations. Then you go into multiplayer and derps be carting 24/7.
LR/HR will always be a relative snooze fest for good vets. MR will always be about optimizing speed for good vets. Outside of some of the earliest MH iterations it's never been "hard" and even then it was mostly fighting the jankiness of the game over the monsters.
Fighting without palico is often better to optimize speed by having more control over monster positioning.
I will never use the AI helpers, but I also don't care how people play their single player games so bring them on to help the newbies.
No home for endemic life showcase? Sad.

Pretty sure every concern voiced by the reviewers is going to be addressed, but the time frame of those issues being resolved might take quite a bit. I do find it odd that we don't have a room, especially since we can still capture endemic life.

Is the difference in our scores vs fps due to frame gen or is something wonky going on maybe?

Frame gen on. I went through the last couple pages and saw other scores, I imagine mine will be much worse with frame gen off.
I don't play many modern/higher graphics games, frame gen is bad I take it? Makes it look worse overall for higher fps or something? I had the AMD version of dlss set to Quality as well.

I just turned it off for the benchmark but I think people here were saying the frame gen just boosts fps at the cost of input delay. I hate input delay just as much as every other form of 'lag', if not more. Our systems are pretty similar so i'd imagine you should still be pretty solid with it off. Not sure how big the difference in 7900 xt vs xtx is though since I only looked at them when I was building my system and have long forgotten that.

Sad times seeing those poor 7900's being forced to drive non-ultrawide displays.
That said, If I was getting 120 fps with it off I wouldn't bother turning it on. Also, the default sharpness setting is WAY too high for FSR/DLSS upscaling. 0.2 is the highest that should ever go.
Input lag isn't a huge problem as long as you're using frame gen properly. Games that try to use it to turn 30 fps into 60 fps are a massive fail. It's best used to turn 80-100ish fps into 120-144 to try to hit the refresh rate of your monitor. My benchmark below is a prime example of when you want to leave it on (unless input lag is actually noticeable, which is unlikely):
