PHG has Evolved

#1

This game is going the route of Evolved where the devs care about the wrong things.They care about making money which is fine, you want a game that brings in money but the main priority should be to fix the game and attempt some balance within predator and fireteam.
Yeah I know “get good” is the classic response but you can’t tell me this game isn’t walking the footsteps as Evolved. High player base for the first 3 months but its now a downhill slope.

The most recent update to this game was the addition of 3 new masks…really thats the bar we set for this game. They give 3 masks and you say “Wow illfonic really does care”. They could make the game unplayable but as long as they give you something you’re all fine with it.

I’d like to see a rebuttal.

You really don’t think we wont have bug fixes and a balance pass on the big Holiday update releasing this month?

I’ve been playing this game since the start of its release. I’ve seen the slow decline and the fuck ups hence why I left. For every 1 bug fixed 3 are created. They mess with the balance where you will be actively hunted by the fire team. Anything else?

Sorry you’ve been sucking I guess?

Alright so maybe that came off a bit too much but I’ve seen this before. People couldn’t hang and they come back and say its the devs faults. I get my fair share of bad matches to but shit happens. You can’t hang with the balance changes I don’t know what to tell you other than git gud because that’s just the game.

Besides this is all on rotation around here.

  • Jungle Hunter threads

  • Whens the update?

  • Balance patch complaints

  • The sky is falling / the game is dead.

I’ve seen it all before and the only time the doom and gloom will ever be right is the time it’s posted immediately after they decide to turn off the servers. For now things are fine and we just have to wait until the next update.

Those three masks weren’t the holiday update, you brainless monkey. They had some finished masks and gave them to us while they’re working on the actual update.

The Devs are working on things people are asking for, an it is all the wrong things. “New Modes or the game will die” Its not like a vast majority of AsymMps only have one game mode. But we got one, and they have another one in the works. “Make the FT classes different” Here, look at these specializations. “Buff FT, Nerf Pred” Okay. “Buff Pred, Nerf FT” Okay. They are trying to balance out everything.

Every update, they release new content. From new weapons, to new maps and modes, to new free classes. And with every update they continue to work on the balance. People play the game differently than expected. “Hey, we made this cool logging map, and there is this big open area and large buildings to deal with during the mission” and people decided to camp the rooftops and snipe the pred across the map. So they buffed the cloak so you need to actually do things. Its hard to contend with players who work against the intended objective. But they are trying.

And then there are people like you who have nothing to say but to shit on Illfonic. Not even giving criticism for them to work with. People like you who don’t play the game, but lurk on the forums seeking the attention mommy didn’t give them, or daddy gave too much of. Find something better to do with your life.

That actually is what killed Evolve and to an extent it kills most asymmetrical games. That and evolves hide and seek gameplay loop made monster already an unfun game of tag where if you get caught early by a good team there was no point. Random groups in these games suck because one side requires teamwork and the other does not. All the people queuing monsters weren’t masochists and hide and seek for 10 minutes was a frustrating so they left. Evolve screwed itself when they gave the hunters no other objectives than to just incessantly chase the monster around as soon as the game starts and its not like the AI was ever really relevant when it came to slowing down a good team.

P:HG’s specific issue is that there is no variations to the gameplay loop and the skill ceiling is laughably low and they keep making it lower. Pred has caster and bow(theyve shrunk the viable weapon roster since launch and keep giving pred useless melee weapons), everything else is suboptimal while FT get hitscan guns and perks that allow a solo player to down pred after 2-3 seconds. There are no meaningful playstyles, every pred is functionally the same hit and run bow strat but with different stamina and hp. The culmination of skill expression for fireteam is one guy tracking and hitting the pred for 3 seconds lol.

The pred IP will keep it afloat though I think. Evolve atleast introduced variation with its DLC, PH:G is like if Turtlerock just released more reskinned goliaths with slightly different heathbars and stamina objectively worse than the default golaith.

The new map is cool though and the monthly release schedule is bold, if they stick to it the game will be fine.

#10

Respect @Finessology you didn’t bash me you game me supported evidence and explained the issues in Pred.

Much respect fam and I agree with you on most of what you said

#11

Nah you good man. Even me reading my post back I sound like an entitled cunt. Truth is I want the game to succeed but I’m more a realist then a optimist and with illfonics track record its a coin flip for this game.

Agreed

#12

You’re the one that called it an update. Not my words, you single-celled algae.

Evolve had a great base and was all around a great game. No one side felt op unless you were dumb enough to let a monster get to stage 3 with taking no damage at that point u were fucked. They went super money hungry with all the add ons. Which is something Illfonic is doing. Atleast evolve had a offline mode and multiple modes at launch.

This as well. Also ai monsters that wouldn’t prioritize anyone. They would attack equally like the pack of dogs tht would roam the map.

For all its massive faults I still loved that game. As soon as they announced a second DLC pass though I gave up especially since the hunters began to get more and more insane shit.
