Monster Hunter Wilds to get permanent price drop from August 4th

In this time of everything costing more a year after it's released, it's nice to see some things sticking to the old ways. Capcom have today announced that the latest game in the Monster Hunter series, Monster Hunter Wilds, will see a permanent price reduction from August 4th. I've seen reports of this being around 45% off, though cannot find a specific source for those claims. Alongside this price reduction, we're also seeing some of the bundles from launch being updated new bundles, largely changing which cosmetic DLCs are included.

This all comes in preparation for the upcoming expansion, Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascension, that's set to launch in 2027.

are you saying monster hunter rise is better? Or just that every new game has new fans and veterans not liking it? ::unsure:
Rise was also on the easier side for different reasons, but I think most people were hoping that wouldn't carry over to the "main" series games. Capcom introduced a ton of new players to the series with World, so I'm not sure why they felt the need to reset again/make Wilds so hand-holdy. Hunts went from an average of 30-40 minutes in World to 15-20 minutes in Wilds. Never felt like the monsters stood a chance, even toward end game.

The last one that I played was World, but I hear that Rise is the only recent one to play similarly to the old-school entries and actually has a harder end game.

Wilds still needs frame generation to even run semi-okay for most people doesn't it? I remember reading about how this can actually make attack animations misleading when you try to use those i-frames. I don't think this this engine or the price decrease is good enough...
