The recent beta test for Monster Hunter Wilds has been met with generally positive feedback as it showcased impressive new features and quality-of-life enhancements, but one recurring criticism has also cast a shadow over that praise. While the gameplay feeling of the introduction to the series' sixth generation is overall comparable to what was appealing about past entries, the specific reduction in the presence of the "hitstop" effect of attacks has been mostly perceived as a detrimental change to combat. With Monster Hunter Wilds slated for release in just a few months, fans are hoping that Capcom will take their feedback into consideration before it's too late.
