PHG: One of the best multiplayer games!

#1

I consider Predator: Hunting Grounds to be the best asymmetric multiplayer game and one of the best multiplayer games. (So, thanks, Illfonic, once again.)

Pros:

  • fantastic atmosphere (graphics, art, music, sound effects , …)
  • true to the original movie
  • complex mechanics
  • no handholding
  • good performance (due to UE4)
  • build in voice-chat (which no one uses)
  • crossplay

Cons:

  • long waiting times as predator (watch a movie in the meantime!)
  • only basic social elements (voice chat only)
  • depending on version: quite some bugs
  • unbalanced weaponry although balancing should not be that difficult
  • match making does not depend on player skills
  • cheating/exploiting (just like in case of nearly all multiplayer games)

It is not the game’s fault that some people cheat and exploit and do not prefer a fair challenge. This ia a general problem of human nature. All multiplayer games suffer from it.

What’s your opinion?

Which multiplayer/singleplayer games do you regard as superior and why?

It is the developers fault, when they acknowledge there were hacks and when asked about macros ? They state they cant stop them and they only see them as an issue when “people don’t see them as fun” , which is an issue when crossplatform is a large bridge on the online only game .

Ummmm? Ft is the spoiled Brat that everyone Hates!

Beg to differ when the “Unbeatable” get beat they get sore pretty fast and tell you so!

Better than f13. You could play 10 games as Jason or go 2 weeks without playing Jason!

Would make match making even longer!

I meant that it isn’t a specific issue for PHG but a general one.

All multiplayer games, and real sports, too, suffer from some people’s urge to get an unfair advantange.

Even the big multiplayer games suffer significantly from cheats and exploits and do not effectively succeed in dealing with this issue.

I agree 100% , it was just a point that you made that they didn’t seem too worried about

Indeed. Voice chat only to complain afterwards.

Social features are really limited. For instance, you cannot conveniently invite players after a match.

And it is also interesting that you do not know the skill of other players before the actual match.

In order to save money Illfonic chosen the WORST anti cheat system there is. You literally just need to close the game, close Anti-cheat from programmes and restart the game and its magically off… If this game had Battle eye protection than yes, you would have some anomalies here and there but not to the extent of what is happening right now. Quality costs though, so we have what we have.

I agree for the most part about PHG.

For a game being out for the time its been, could have added more content. People still play it regardless.

In the span of the games lifetime and the constant changes that keep being added, they did well.

Especially for dropping a game when the entire world was able to stay home and play it to death.

Guarantee people won’t admit how much fun they actually have playing PHG.

99.9% of people on this forum doesn’t even play anymore, yet still try to influence the game.

Makes zero sense.

Another single player that’s fun as fuck is subnautica

One of the best?

This game isn’t even a contender

Its the best asymmetrical by virtue of having crossteam chat. It also has one of the higher skill ceilings rather than matches being decided purely by OP perks and RNG.

lol thats the updater splash screen you closed. The actual anti-cheat is a kernel driver you have no access to and you consented to install when you hit the I Agree button.
its not 1998. Limits what cheaters can do as they need to work around the restrictions Microsoft places on kernel level software, the day of the script kiddie is long gone.
Also most of these kernel anticheats probably sell your data but thats a different discussion.

The fact that most of this game is serversided makes the usual RAM edits impossible and the kernel drivers are just there to detect piggybacks and such.
Making almost nothing clientsided is the best anti-cheat there is, its why you don’t see people hacking MOBAs. Exception there is scripts/bots and the server logs all their inputs for review regardless.
