Despite it being a joke, many fans in the community have been on board for a dating sim mechanic to be added to future titles. “Honestly if they added someHades-type mechanics like that, I’d go crazy for it,” responded one commenter. “Everybody is constantly thirsting over the characters anyways, it’d be super fun.”

However, aCommunity Influencerfor Monster Hunter wasn’t so enamored with Wilds being labeled as a dating sim. “People being able to add their own custom tags to games and have them stick officially was one of the worst ideas Steam has done,” wrote Kogath. “Also, fun fact it comes up as Underwater too.”
The latter is certainly one of the things we added toour Monster Hunter Wilds wishlist, alongside crossplay and new weapons. While it’s unlikely Monster Hunter Wilds will feature any dating sim mechanics, it’s clear the community is in love with Gemma.
