Fanatical has the Steam keys for $86.05 https://www.fanatical.com/en/game/monster-hunter-wilds
I have a 3070 and 5800X and was barely holding a constant 60fps @ 2k during both beta tests. Still on the fence whether I'll get it.
The betas both don't have the performance enhancements that the benchmark did, so if you did the benchmark hopefully the numbers were a little better than the betas (they were slightly better for me but still not great)
It ain't cheap, but consider this… Gunlance go boom.
I got my GF and I the Premium edition for V-day. My hunter's diet will be solely the provoker meal.You go boom, I'll still go BONK
Man is living the dream. Teach us your ways
@Darkvolcos: Get in, out, swinging to the side isn't needed, but you can do that for style points. You can skip to the initial thrust into the boom. Gunters will change tactics depending on what type of lance they use. Long lance you can get away with less thrusting technique, the boom is more forgiving. Shorter range may sound like a disadvantage, but is wider, more powerful and your boom has a bigger spread. Your movement will have to make up for the lack of range though. Most of us have a normal gunlance.
When you've subdued the monster, get on your ride and head back to your camp.
Practice on the dummy alone, get your moves down and you'll be able to last the whole 40 minutes without collapsing when you're ready for the real thing. If you don't do this you'll forget your technique in the heat of battle, likely just thrash about ineffectively and you'll be sent back to your camp unfulfilled.
Sometimes you can get away with sloppy technique if you're prepared a good meal. The hunter who can do both will indeed slay.
The first monster you'll encounter has a powerful tongue and will lick its hands which it coats and picks up whatever debris is around. Don't thrust that, you'll have a bad time. Avoid the tongue, too many of these attacks and you'll be downed. Hitting it from the back is effective.@BoltThrower: Appreciate the thorough guide. The hardest part is tracking and finding the monster though
Might also be worth tuning down your resolution to 1080p
Just checked Gg.deals it's the best for checking all prices, You can get it for $84.75 from 2game an offical reseller with code:5OFF
Not sure what's going on with 2game but the page doesn't load, and when I switched browsers it did load but came up with an error when I tried to add it to cart.
Fanatical is the most stress free site selling keys imo
My VPN was giving me that issue but I just went to the homepage of 2game and bought it, got the key instantly and activated it.
@JandersC: thanks bud, just need to login first before adding to cart from homepage.
dunno why cant open the wild page, just keep loading.
whats the chances EB games price matches the BIG W steelbook?
https://www.bigw.com.au/product/monster-hunter-wilds-steelbo…
Wish soon wukong dropped to that price. BTW, wukong is cheaper on Amazon but from Amazon UK. Any trouble redeem the bonus from au store? Never bought UK stock.
You will be able to redeem the code. UK is PAL. I have the same edition when I brought my copy while overseas and the code worked.
Fantastic,thanks mate.
Says no product found
Target don't put deals live until launch.
Promoting an Asian game…unusual. Dont Start-Press have a racist agenda against Chinese game like the reviewer pushing Wukong liars and he does not speak or understand chinese langauge or fact checks.
Games were this price 30 years ago so they havnt gine up. $90 is 5 pints n a friday night. Also u can probably match with jb and use discounted gc and signup bonus to get it even cheaper.
Interest rates went down. I can afford this now
Pretty sure $60 was the standard price for launch games back then. $90-$100 was for special editions.
Yep gaming companies have been pushing for higher standard prices since COVID. Without pushback from consumers publishers will continue to try push prices even higher, with $100 USD for launch titles likely to become a new norm. It's up to consumers to vote with their wallets, if a majority of people are willing to pay higher and higher prices at launch then why wouldn't they do it.
No.
$60 USD, sure.
Here's an old Toys'R'Us USA catalogue during the N64 era as an example, Mario 64 was $60 USD. 1996 -> 2025 inflation would be around $120 USD today.
@saitaris: 30 years ago, 94/95 summer, top 10 Super Nintendo sellers all aside one $99.99-$119.95
https://static.gamesmen.com.au/media/catalogue-archives/1994…
It was pretty common to get launch day deals in the $60-80 range last gen but RRP was never that low.
There will come a time in your life when you will mature and realise that spending $90 on 5 pints on a Friday night is ludicrous, not because you can't afford it, but out of principal. Unless your an Alco!
Goon bag at the local park is the way to go.
This is a true statement as the Doom for super snes was $109 in December of 1995 which calculated for inflation is $232.55 today. However, when viewed holistically, games may have a comparable price to 1995, the majority of living costs have increased substantially since 1995 and wages haven't kept pace. I can understand why some people would look at the sticker price on a new release title and find it difficult to justify. I used to buy games on launch but I just wait now. Capcom will do decent discounts if you can wait. You can get RE4 for $40 ish bucks on sale fairly often.
I can afford this no problem with plenty of disposable income left, just saying
Typical Ozbargainers earn at least 200k and have 2 properties under their belt. We find deals not cuz we can't afford it but for the thrill/hobby.
Good to be that very typical less than 1% of the luckiest in the country.
Lol, how do you even stay upright with that massive head?
Mate look at 90% of what gets posted on here. No one needs most of this crap if you're going to be like that. It's a sales website and this is a sale price.
Your last posted deal was on Calvin Klein and you are complaining about a game?

Personally id say entertainment is more important than overpriced brands in a cost of living crisis.
Anyone with questions about console performance should watch this digital foundry review
Buckle up everyone. When the next generation of consoles are digital only and the only place to buy games is the PSN or Microsoft digital store we will be paying $130 for on release with a less impressive discount 6 months later. There are games you can get for $20 on eBay because they are so old yet they are full RRP on PSN when not on sale
Gospel right there! Consumers are stupid, buying digital only console because 'I don't like to change discs' and 'I only buy digital games anyway'. But if they had half a brain and just bought the disc version, it would A. Open them up to options, for example, when you don't like a game, you can sell it. Cheaper for one and done single player games because you can.. Sell it. and B. Support disc console so Sony and Xbox don't get a monopoly on digital pricing. This is why so many people are in debt, because they are financially retarded! Not to mention they can't see the forest through the trees!
I think part of the reason digital only consoles are becoming more popular is because a lot of the audience play 1 or 2 multiplayer games, i.e. COD, GTA online etc. They purchase the game once or once a year in the case of COD. They are happy to pay full price for the convenience factor. Those of us who game as a hobby who actually like playing a variety of titles and also indulge in collecting and buying used, selling used are going to be the least served in this future scenario. I am thinking about going all in on PC gaming at that point because if they are forcing digital on me, I might as well get access to competing store fronts for the best price possible. I hope that the ACCC and fair trading gets with the program at that point and disperses the cloud lords monopolies because we will be the losers as consumers otherwise.
For psportal discs are not great, digital library is much more beneficial.
I preordered Elden ring nightreign digital deluxe and it was $15 cheaper than retail. But again the convenience to play on portal makes digital ideal.
Games are much cheaper on Linux
When the next generation of consoles are digital only and the only place to buy games is the PSN or Microsoft digital store we will be paying $130 for on release with a less impressive discount 6 months later.
some/ a lot of folks would enjoy the smell of the ocean
It seems the game is lacking in content, not much post launch update in months either. Capcom has been focusing on story mode and PC launch, not the parts I care.
Lol, imagine accusing a Monster Hunter game of being lacking in content.. the irony.
Sadly it’s true. Wilds have 29 monsters while World has 39 on launch , Rise 46. 2 additional monsters through title updates in 6 months compared to Rise had 9 in TU1+TU2 plus new ending and Apex.
Not sure why you are getting downvoted. Gaijinhunter and Arekz gaming stated the same that wilds currently has less then world comparing launch. World was definitely not great with monster variety
sad, no Target nearby. Hope JB can price match on day 1
Free shipping
Try Big w
thanks, there is a Big W in the same building as my workplace.
Today is not my day to work in the office, but I go to the office just for it.
Sadly gonna skip this as no friends planned to play this tgt.
Sounds like you need new friends..
For those who is after Simplified Chinese, Korean, Traditional Chinese in MH Wilds, get the Asian version (publisher - Capcom Asia).
The one you are getting in Australia is published by CE Europe Limited (UK) and they normally don't have Chinese or Korean within.True. Can confirm this with my PS5 games.
Here is the reply from MH Support:
Regarding your inquiry, if you purchase the game in Australian region, please be advised that only the following languages are supported for the English (UK) version of the game:
Audio: Japanese, English, French, Italian, German, Spanish - Spain, Russian, Portuguese - Brazil
Text: Japanese, English, French, Italian, German, Spanish - Spain, Spanish - Latin America, Russian, Portuguese - Brazil, Arabic, PolishTraditional or Simplified subtitles will not be supported for the English(UK) version of the game.
Don't support these dog trash games. Full priced game has micro transactions from day 1. Trash.
The microtransactions are just cosmetics like hair styles and pendants.
However you could argue that like World they'll drip feed content and eventually release a full price expansion with master/g-rank quests and monsters.
IGN said that the game is a lot shorter than worlds. Still working my way through world so will just wait.
Looks like Big W is matching $89 launch price, not sure if its eligible for Everyday rewards discount there?
Normally only excludes apple and consoles. Games should be fine.
$88 on kogan atm for ps/xb
Go to JB buy 2 copies of Diablo 4 or Far Cry 6 (or one of each) for $30 then go to EB Games and trade those two and pay another $49 for Monster Hunter.
does EB not sell the PC version? Can't find it on their site
Happening at Big w as well, I used my everyday award extra to get a extra 10% of , totaling as a 80 dollar game
Never actually use big w's 10% off.
This is likely only to be the console versions of the game at that price, I can't see Capcom being that generous to PC gamers sadly.
The performance requirements were fairly brutal as well, the specs are aligned and rely on upscaling technologies.
