While the game is having some technical difficulties (Mouse is implemented as a joystick, optimization is hurting even the top end rigs, and the servers are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ their brains on a game launch,) the game is an absolute joy. I've played hundreds of hours in other Monster Hunter games, and am happy to see it finally come to the PC world. If you like the idea of endlessly grinding for gear, MonHun is the game to play. Do come at it with a decent rig, though. Even low and off settings leave a lot of performance to be desired. There does seem to be some kind of bug with loading high res textures where it just doesn't happen all the time.

The game is playable (30+ FPS) at 1440p on a GTX 780Ti with an i7-4790K and 16gb of ram. Plop it on a SSD and enjoy the 1-2 second load times of HUGE areas that are by all accounts beautiful, even if the 780Ti has to turn it all down. Waiting for my 980Ti to come back from RMA so I can really give the game a look. :)
