💦 FULL SET: Id/KayJ/recommended/ - Collection

Countless hours huddled together with a few friends, wide-eyed poring over the small screen of the PSP. The thrill of the hunts, the lure of progression, the beauty of the scenery, the dismay of failure. I was reminded of the good old times when I heard MHW is coming to steam. ARE U ***KING KIDDING ME?! I was never a 'console' person, and that naturally had me anticipating.

I was playing solo exclusively when the game was released on steam (I had no idea the game was having connection issues), the game is stellar across the board, graphics is excellent, the music is pleasing, Coral Highlands look so enchanting, exactly what a Monster Hunter sequel should be. It was until approximately two weeks ago from the time of this review that I wanted to try the multiplayer aspect.

I was disappointed by how much the multiplayer aspect failed, of this otherwise perfect game. I only managed to connect to an online session briefly ONCE, even though it was two to three weeks after release. The developers released a patch (on 23rd Aug, I believe) which supposedly should resolve the bulk of the connection issue, yet the problem persisted over at my end. It felt like capcom does not care if the game is broken. It felt like the connection issue was never gonna be resolved. It also felt like maybe the whole world is enjoying multiplayer, except where I am from.

LO AND BEHOLD. I was so terribly wrong. From approximately 4 to 5 days ago, I can consistently connect to an online session, post quests with players joining me, join quests, respond to SOS flares, send SOS flares AND receive help from other players. Apparently the developers are working consistently to correct the connection issue.

I believe this game can finally redeemed itself and meet the expectations of the whole fanbase.
