It largely depends on your platform, I feel. I’m on Ps4 and haven’t had half of the issues others have, but anything is possible, ya know? It’s a fun game, to be sure.
Don’t pay full price, I’d say. See if you can get a used copy and try it out. Practice in private match mode against bots, both as Pred and Fire team. Find loadouts you like and level the weapons up, etc. That way, at least you MAY not get obliterated by some of the elite Preds and FT death squads out there. If you’re on ps4, turn off cross play. A new ps4 player has zero chance against a pc player. Those mouse-masters are basically Robocop with his targeting system and can snipe your ass from halfway across the map.
Don’t buy any dlc characters unless you’re really into the game. Only classic Dutch and Valkyrie Pred are what I would consider to be OP, but I don’t own every character either. I don’t have Cleo or Dante yet. Once you get good with the basic stuff, then branch out.
DON’T WORRY ABOUT NOT HAVING JUNGLE HUNTER! You CAN get the mask from field lockers, buy its rare. It’s stats are NO different from the regular Hunter class.
Alpha is free at lvl 100. Elder is only available at lvl 150.
Use specializations. Always. Experiment with them.
Play with friends if possible, get a good team together for FT and it’ll be way more fun. Sometimes playing with random people can be frustrating when you can’t communicate.
Overall, I do recommend the game. Just don’t think it’s RDR2 in quality. It’s a AA title with some issues, but none so bad that it makes it unplayable. I’ve been here since the beta and still play. And when I hate something, it goes in the trash. This one’s still in my console.
Hope that helps! Hope to see you in the jungle…and kill you!
P.s. your name and avatar combo is concerning.
