It enabled frame gen by default if you didn't catch it. Might need to turn that off.

Yea kinda sad it perform so bad on SD. Maybe it will be better at full release, coping.
Looks and runs great on a 3080 though.

With a mix of Low-Med-High settings and DLSS Balanced it looked and ran better than PS5 framerate mode, but I did have one crash to desktop. Running a 3060 with an i5 11k, so my system it fairly outdated already. PS5 Pro might actually be the better upgrade for this, since I doubt getting a 4070 would improve performance all that much considering my cpu. Still gonna play Day 1 though. =)

Definitely going to be a day 1 buy for me. Game runs excellent on my machine but I got a pretty beefy PC. 4090 GPU with a 9950x CPU. I have everything turned up at highest setting at 1440p x 3340p and I'm pulling a constant 120-140 FPS.
My favorite weapons is the swag axe, hammer and gunlance at the top of my list. The mount can act wonky at times controlling it for me but overall it's a great addition. You can sharpen your weapon while on it. My biggest complaint so far some of the hits don't feel as so "impactful" as they were in World. When I used the greatsworsd and used the TCS I actually felt it when I hit the monster but it doesn't seem that way in Wilds. Feels like your hitting the monster with a wet noodle.

after really diving in, going lance for first weapon. It is just a machine, love everything it is doing. The triple stab, the counters, the damage on block, the clash, the wound stab, the mounted stab, the hop back double stab. poke..poke..poke...pokepokepoke. Can't wait to see what new armor skills we get.
Bow is my secondary, no more coatings ammo and the fuse attacks with the seaker arrow. ALL THE EXPLOSIONS!

I tested on steam deck, my midrange laptop (ryzen 6700xt) and my 4090 PC. PC/Laptop have 32GB ram, high end CPUs.
Game itself is fun though I am not a huge fan of the UI spam or the map bloat. I'm sure you can turn some of it off but I didn't bother digging too hard. It needs a lot of optimizing for PC version.
Steam Deck - No go.
6700XT Laptop - Ran OK on low settings, but I kept getting the N64 monster graphics bug.
4090 PC - No real complaints about 1080/1440 max settings, but 4k runs worse than almost any other PC game I've played in the last 2 years and I have played most of the triple A releases. Game was gobbling up VRAM and I'm pretty sure the CPU (7800X3D) gets shit on more than the card at this point too.
Still buying and hoping they got a better build in the pipeline ;[

Yeah same as always. With the Seikret running after mobs though isn't much of an issue so it's not nearly as useful but you can charge behind a mob before they get to full speed and ram them to sometimes force them to fight again. Not enough stam stuff in the demo to go very far either.
I'd say the biggest change is the constant shield bashes, everytime you block and get a low block reaction, you automatically counter with a quick shield bash. That leads to stuns, and damage scaling off blocks, and also will likely make Guard 5 more desirable(it was already pretty nice for more casual gameplay but often for more agressive damage builds you'd cut it down to like 3 or something just 1 or whatever).
Still not gonna be the best speedrunning weapon most likely but I really liked what I've seen out of lance and being mostly a lance main I'm happy about that.

Started playing today and it made me remember to stop postponing finishing Worlds.
Having the mount feels really nice, and the gameplay is similar enough to quickly get into it. Having a bit of a hard time learning the button setup though. Not sure if it's wort changing settings to make it easier to use, I guess I just need an hour or two to learn the menus. Playing with a PS5 controller.
Fell back to using the Longsword, the same weapon I use in Worlds.
Theres no lock on mode I guess? It's that focus thing instead or did I just miss it?

God damn, I was adamant that I was going to play a new weapon and not just play dual blades like world/iceborn. Tried Longsword, felt pretty ok. Tried hammer, seemed good, thought I probably found my weapon. Tried lance, didn't enjoy it. Tried gun lance and was like, well crap - this is pretty cool, maybe hammer isn't my weapon.
Then I was like "Well I should at least try dual blades and see how they changed". Cut to me playing dual blades for hours. Fuck, they feel better than worlds somehow!

I hate dual blade playstyle but for sure they are awesome in wilds.
Speed run no but consistency of progress, 100%. Took on the horde of three dogs that ended up being 4 and just smashed them all. Dungpods…what are those?

Switch Axe seems damn strong. For some reason I felt like I was moving around with it out way faster than in MHW.

Yea I found it much easier on controller. I started M+K but quickly switched.
I find these types of action games are easier on the controller, not sure what most people use for this game though.

KB+M options are kinda fucky in this build, might be better in release. World was definitely playable with, there's some weirdness compared to some other standard, but it was quite solid once you rebinded stuff. I used to dabble in Bow with kb+m cause I can't aim for shit on a controller and it was pretty good. If you're ok with a controller though obviously the game was originally designed for that.

Yea, I’ll definitely be buying a controller before this goes live. It’s just too janky for KB+M. The R+Space move in particular doesn’t seem to work all the time. It’s Vault for IG and Echo Bubble for HH, haven’t played anything else yet.
I really like the horn. QTABS still works, and smacking the monster extra times during recital feels cool. Echo bubble is nice. I miss the spinning horn from IB, but really after I had my songs up all I did was try and land the spin move on their dome, kinda lame gameplay, so not really disappointed it’s gone.
IG is not impressive really; in this beta, the kinsects are slow and the weapon just feels a bit more clunky than world. Probably just need to give it a bit more time.
Haven’t played that much yet, but plan to tonight. Still trying to figure out the wounds and wound special attacks.
Got som friends that want to play tonight, so looking forward to checking our a few other weapons.
