Goodbye for now Hunting Grounds...

#1

Played the shit out of the beta, loved it and remained hopeful there was more to come.

Slightly rocked that it was a more polished beta. Been supporting and playing since day one though.

Cruised these forums since those beta days and gave feedback where I felt it could be useful.

Bug I’ve hit a serious serious wall that I didnt want to reach.

Putting this guy up on the virtual shelf as I sort of feel torn about how things have been handled over the past month.

Truly feels like it is dying out and dont truly feel like I’m working toward anything anymore.

Turning into a “play in a party” game.

I’m just upset cause I love this franchise and everything that have done. Just feel like I’ve built up and hyped up this game in my own head to think it was something it wasnt really ever going to be : / especially for the 80 dollar starting price point. Feeling very torn about my investment so far until I’m proven otherwise

I feel u man,

I havent played in over a week.

However ive been keeping my super post active, and talking to people where I can.

Really all we can hope for is that they listen and get to work asap before the game does die.

I hope it doesnt, but they do need to be quick about it.

Unless you are in a private match, this game has a horrible experience and is very unwelcoming to new people.

It’s becoming it’s own Niche market unfortunately and its dug itself in a hole :(

I would argue that all assymetrical games suffer that fate.

The issue is that there isnt enough assymetrical in this assymetrical lol.

And because of the game being neither here nor there, Either of the larger audiences that the game should have, have mostly already stopped playing. And all thats left are the most hardcore of predator fans, that just cant stop playing.

And honestly, I salute those people. I just hope that there are enough of them to keep this game afloat until it can be fixed truly.

I cant put into words how addicted to the game I am but I am mad while playing it…

It’s a strange and unbelievably frustrating feeling I’m not really enjoying right now.

Only right thing that i feel I can do is tell them how I feel about the game and just walk away from it and hope they can use the money I gave them to make it better.

Never had an experience quite like this for 80 dollars before.

Sad

The social and private matches have kept it fresh for me.

When those people arent online (yes im aware I can join groups and stuff), drastic downshift in experience.

Wish I could just boot it up and play solo and have actual fun with it.

I get you. I still love the game, but all I see lately are 90% Berserker matches that end within 2 minutes because either the team couldn’t aim, or they could and killed the Pred because all those players do is combi rush and melee spam. Super board at this point. It still has a lot of issues. I stored up about 60,000 veritanium for the next content drop. I’ll probably grind out a little more in private matches but for now after hitting 100 I’m kinda done. Playing the Pred is still fun, but the fireteam is either godlike or terrible depending on how well they work together. I’ll come back when the next patch comes out or the next content release.

Those stats seem about right.

The balance is player skill/ if your against a cs go team your fucked due to predator getting wall blocked 90 percent of the time. For indtane your vs 2 recons with shotties or mag pistol. Suppt has shotty a nd scout has a shotty they will just burst you to half hp and if u attempt a claim be prepared to lose all your hp
The predator cant sit behind a pillar and try to snipe. The way hes made is to be out in the open. The problem is you buff any aspect of predator anymore than he is you run risk of wiping teams super hard on the flip side I think the only only thing that needs a nerf is the seringes need to take time to heal and not and instant 100 hp heal or the ressurected fireteam member starts with his ammo and items. This game is not complete…
Predators are wiping fireteams so they dont have to deal with topped iff hp fireteams.

Yeah I’m the same. Haven’t played it in a while. I can just tell the game is going to be a continuous unbalanced shit show with all the people crying for one thing and then other people crying for the opposite. At this point I’m just waiting for a bot mode. This game won’t last long the rate it’s going.

If you factor in your point about asymmetrical shooters, the only way to make a game like this work is a solo campaign mode, like predator:concrete jungle. I think it’s going to be super hard to balance a game where everyone’s happy. Even if it was pretty close to being a balanced game, there will still be a lot of unhappy people complaining about balance. Illfonic probably should have built a campaign, and a solid one too, smart AI, big maps with objectives/free roam as pred. Then most people would be happy with a predator game.

I’ve done the same mate and so has many that care to admit lol the game is just a demo thats still sat in that 2 day trial we had before release date lol no other maps/content/statistics and ratings/cinematics/balance not enough ingame time and an ingame spoon feed target isolation that defeats the purpose of the hunt and destroys fire teams experience, to think of all the guys out there that spent £49.99 for an special edition just for an free predator colouring book and skin to play a demo ffs lol

Iffonic should have hired shane black since he also knows how to fuck a predator franchise.

Yeah, I haven’t played match in days… theres still a lot of bugs, the balance is still off, and the forum(though its getting better than it was) is still pretty damn toxic…

I started playing The Outer Worlds yesterday… its a lot of fun if you’re into Narrative Driven RPGs like Fallout New Vegas(same team made it actually)…

It seems to me a party up with friends is really what its aimed at 100 levels open all weapons and options the only real thing I have left is cosmetics for the weapons and armor styles for predator, becuase quickplay is anything but and the 2 min matches, I’ve only been the pred a few times but without iso I wouldnt find them at the moment maybe I’d get better idk. But sadly I dont see this game going anywhere special anytime soon maybe they will figure out a way to make it more of a play once a day or week

I was farming V for cosmetics, but then they reduced the pay back you receive on Duplicates manually padding up the grind wall on unlocking cosmetics…
That was when i seen the writing on the wall…
