Like all Capcom games this will likely be 10-13% off on GMG before release so worth waiting a bit. Technically don't have to preorder at all and all that but it's MH so I'm buying it regardless, still going to look to save those 10 bucks though.

Well as I said it's all Capcom games pretty much, GMG has partnerships with several big publishers and they pretty much always have a preorder discount because they're getting keys for cheaper so they reduce their cut compared to Steam. I bought World and Iceborne there, Rise and Sunbreak I think I got from another one cause I missed the sales on GMG or something(Fanatical maybe, they also do this stuff). Since they're official resellers there's not really any risk unlike the keys that end up on G2A or whatever so I like using them for stuff I want to buy on release. FFXIV expansions is the same and I grab them all from there too to save a bit of money.
Much better than the 8 month exclusive Worlds got. I assume, since it is open beta, that you don't need to pre-order it?

Well it is a demo with a single monster, kinda. You get the character creation, the tutorial story fight(which is technically a monster but probably massively scaled down for the tutorial purposes) and then the Doshaguma hunt, which is the one they've shown at events. Basically we're getting the event demo they've used to show off the game, which is still nice. Also data transfers over to the main game if you want to spend a while making your char and as is common with these demos you'll get a few consumables at release too(nothing crazy, a handful of megapotions and shit).
Still is very nice to check performance, which is the big sticking point since the recommended specs are pretty fucking high.
Requirements are just having a Steam account and meeting the requirements to run the game. Also 29gb, it's a pretty big demo, wonder if it has a bunch of unnecessary info people with datamine. Consoles have no requirement, other than PS+ if you want the additional days. With only one monster imo it's not really worth it.

The World beta was the same and people figured out quickly how strong quad HBG was for speed runs.
Stoked I get to try all the weapons…

I went ahead pulled the trigger and got a top end 4090 prebuilt gaming machine. I know I could have gotten it cheaper by building it myself but honestly I’m done with that at my age and doing it for 20+ years. I put one together at pricepicke.com and it was a few hundred dollars difference in price so I said what the hell I'll just pay someone to do it. Plus buying a prebuilt I get a two year warranty on parts and labor, not worrying about swapped GPUs out of the box and they shipped to me next day air for free.
Anyway I'm so ready for this game. I believe the console beta starts tonight (like in 4 hours) so I'll be watching streams of it until the PC version goes live.

Watched Rurikhan’s stream for a while and it seemed to run pretty good on the PS5. He didn’t really complain about performance at all.

Played for an hour or so this afternoon so far. Resolution mode looks very nice, but its 30fps. The Performance mode is alright, doesn't feel 60fps at all though, and it looks really bad. Probably going to sell a lot of PS5 Pros to MH fans that only have access to console. Hopefully my 3060 will run it better.
Character creator is pretty good as well, though atm you can't select Male/Female, you have cycle through the Male presets to get to the Female presets. You can make the females boobs about twice as big if you max out the physique slider, and they add jiggle physics too.
