I suffered with an unruly Seikret in Monster Hunter Wilds for 50 hours before tweaking these control settings changed my hunter's life

A hunter riding their colorful Seikret in Monster Hunter Wilds, their Palico is sitting just behind them. .

Ah, Monster Hunter Wilds' chocobo. Uh, I mean Seikret. These adorable feathered creatures are a new addition to the series, letting me hop on and travel across maps at lighting speed, store a secondary weapon I can swap out mid-fight, and access hard-to-reach areas tucked away across the Forbidden Lands.

They sure are handy, but boy are they a total pain in the ass to control. As the hours ticked by I found myself becoming increasingly annoyed with how unruly my Seikret was being. Attempting to stop beside a resource node saw my chicken lad fly past it instead as I rapidly mashed R2 to try and get it to skid to a halt, and opening my map to check something would often lead to him straight-up wandering off. Where you going, bird!?
