The monster hunter wilds was an absolute disappointment on literally every single aspect I can think of. Capcom in their usual briliance thought, that they can skim on optimalization as usual, but then somehow also combined dithered effects with insane DRM and... it did some magic.

Monster hunter is a series, where traditionally, they are betting on earning money through a continuous release and keeping the games in relevant culture. That means, that MH world had 7 years of updates, that included a full DLC as well as many individual monsters. On the other side, since Wilds was such a shitshow, I do not expect them to even do basic bugfixes at this point.

Gameplay:
Wilds did many interesting experiments with gameplay, but it does seem, that none of them have been taken as an actual improvement. I especially hate the inversion of limb damage, where instead of creating a permanent wound, that is more sensitive throughout the entire hunt, in wilds, each wound is just a one time bonus crit. It's ridiculous just by it's concept.

Personally, I still preffer MH Rise with MUCH more optimalized and more beautiful aesthetics as well as a full open map and faster fighting style, but I also understand why most people praise the world the most.

So yes, definitely the World. I cannot even play Wilds, since all the awful graphical nonsense made my eyes scream in pain.
