Bit late, no money wasted like the rest of us that got hours in. No worse than playing full price for a game and it goes free to play a year later.
PLEASE JUST MAKE A SOLO OR STORY MODE ALREADY!!!
Well I hope you stick around the community, I enjoy your posts. I just don’t want the fun people getting banned.

But taking that into acount for every game, we wouldn’t have any online only games that thousands have loved . Destiny one and two, Siege, DBD. Yes eventually they die. But they provide experiences for a lot people you can’t find in offline games. PHG is another one in that pile. Not to mention the amount of work that to get a proper story mode would ruin the game as it would lose support from the devs causing it to lose support from fans.

This is completely false. If your making a game its going to take hard work, if we. had devs who. just. settled for the bare minimum then we wouldnt get the “best” games to every exist, but that is whats happening cause devs see post like yours and think why out all this effort into making our game different or the best that it can be when they will settle for us giving them one game mode with massive bugs and no real content and charge them for it cause you will do it, and thats the problem. And with games like destiny 1 & 2 especially the first one fans and players alike were asking wheres single player??? then they gave it to us in the second game, fans have been asking for offline modes or just any new modes for DBD for over 3 years now so you bringing up these game is just making my point mean that much more. People can enjoy playing online thats all good, but no game. i mean no game should only cater to online players (ill give a pass to games like falls guys and among us) but with an IP like Predator its completely ridiculous that it didnt have a story mode or offline content at all especially since players were asking for it wayyyyy before the game even came out. If your a game dev and you dont want to put in the work for your game choose a different career path. Offline content helps games and you do see that this game basically lost its support of the fans after the first month, yes people are still playing but not as much as they want, and players like you need to stop thinking that games like this wont die, cause it can and guess what if it dies they will cut their servers and then guess what…you cant play the game anymore, all that money goes right in the trash, but if the game had offline you can play it as much as you want and not have to worry about others playing the game in order for you to play it.
While I have many issues with this game and the company behind it I will give it credit. Illfonic made a fun game that I enjoy and if the servers would for some reason shut down after one year then I wouldn’t mind since I’ve gotten my money’s worth on this game and then some.
I still however would not want them to add a single player mode to this game. Primary example just look at the AI and how janky they are. If they did add one it would be bare bones and more than likely good for one play through and that’s it a whole bunch of resources wasted for that.
5 months later and my point still stands about single player mode. I don’t think it should be high priority right now though of course. I mean for goodness sake fix what we already have please lol. But I don’t think it should never come to the game. At the very least make it a priority when the game is reaching the end of its life cycle.
Again I want to reiterate this point as I feel it’s very important. Offline mode has no downsides and will only help the game in the long run. If they work on an offline mode then they’ll have to work on improving the AI which would mean the AI in the multiplayer will get improved too. Not only that it could also mean that we would get AI to replace rage quitters in matches so matches will still be fair. And lastly there is most likely a good portion of people who have not purchased this game because it’s online/multiplayer only. By adding an offline single player mode you give these people an incentive to buy this game which in turn will lead to more players, more money earned and more support for the game. You want to appeal to as many people as possible if you want to succeed, not just restricting yourself to a very niche audience (which is also a point for an alien crossover being a good thing but that’s a topic for another day).
And as for you two @mdg2020 @FossilHunter13 I wouldn’t rule out the possibility of such a mode coming to the game just yet as there is two pieces of substantial evidence of it coming to the game.
The first piece is that private matches can now be completely paused while playing solo. Why would they add that to solo private matches when it has no good reason of being there if they weren’t working on an offline mode?
And lastly I’ll leave you with this…
well if you see a game with zero good content janky ai and no real player base then god help the rest of us players that want more from devs when they can give you nothing and your satisfied, the ai is janky cause they made zero effort towards it and have dont want to fix it simple as that, and you may not want one but majority of players do and them adding one will give the gave extremely more money. Like no one really likes or plays this game to the point majority of people are saying they should have just remade predator concrete jungle a way better game. You can enjoy the game in definitely not saying that at all, but most of us dont want a half assed game $40 game when free games give you more to do. And it would only be wasted resources cause they have the mindset that you have which is we will do nothing that the fans are asking for. Adding single player story may not benefit you but doing it will gain them money…money that can go into fixing the game and the ai.
Im not saying it has to be now even though honestly it should have been there before launch since thats what majority of players were asking about/ for when it was announced. If they do add one down the line I 100% see it helping the game sales wise and maybe even player wise

You seem to be confusing working on a single player game with hard work
Uh no. When I have I ever said the game is fine as is without need for improvement.
In fact my problem is making a single player mode would take too much away from the multiplayer. I.E not putting work into it.
A. Destiny did have a single player. But it was bare bones
B. Destiny 2’s story was also bare bones.
No it doesn’t. People may want one, but look at what they’ve done with the game. More so, look at what siege has done without a single player. Because they cater to their core audience and specialize in their strength.
In fact look at what happened when they did get around to a single player. When they first started working on outbreak it took an entire season of content, and an additional map loss, and what did we get?
3 levels… relatively large but, 3 levels.
Oh right… thats a triple A company.
Now look at illfonic and tell me that its anywhere close.
Let me guess, dark souls should have an easy mode
Look. Lets see a game that tried to pander to multiple groups of people. Destiny 2.
You know, the game that pretty much alienated fans of the first. Because it was easy to grind out the best gear and exotics were just “unique” legendaries for the sake of casauls who didn’t have time to grind out Gally in the first.
And what siege and DBD does, they cator to online gamers. You can’t just say a game should pander to multiple people because it just what it should do when implementing that would result in serious compromise that would come at the cost of lowering the quality of the game.
Then why don’t we get ubi to make a single player game instead of highjacking this one. Especially since its not goimg ro end well.
Again you seem to be confusing single player games with hard work.
Let me get this straight, Illfonic, the company that can’t even release an update thats nothing but a reskinned class amd stat changes without causing major bugs, is going to be able to create a single player experience, in a timely manner, that will save this game, but wouldn’t be nearlt as good if that effort was put into multiplayer.
A. We talking forever? No of course not. But the time we put into it will be worth it because the time we had will be like no other. Go clutch a 1V5 im siege after giving the game a full year and tell me you’ve ever had a high like that.
B. Short term? I’ll admit PHG could end up being a freak acident but if we’re looking at things objectively DBD was in a worse state than PHG and still survived. And look at what DBD did. They focused down on multiplayer content
I don’t like to assume since its not objective but I have a feeling you just want a single player predator game.

Summed up this rational pretty well. F13 single player was a waste of resouces and people need to stop expecting illfonic to give us concrete jungle 2.
You’ll get 5 trophies/challenges and braindead bots to shoot and that’ll be that.

Haha you mean the good times like when you get stuck and can’t move and get killed? Or the time the game crashed because you got parried? Yeah, no. That is only true if the game is good and I’m sorry but this game sucks donkey balls. It’s not good enough to be online only that’s why so many players are dipping. Fact of the matter is if this game was any decent there wouldn’t be as many people requesting single player because they’d actually be having fun with the game.

Right now? Yes game sucks, but look at siege that game was full of bugs and problems too. But look at it now. Obviously lainch siege was better but DBD is more comparable. And this game is doing better then DBD by its life cycle now.
Maybe so but those games were nowhere near as bad as this one is right now. Anyway, this guy isn’t asking for the mode immediately. And Illfonic adding such a mode won’t be as bad as people are making it out to be. You’ve got to acknowledge the good such a mode will do. It adds longevity to the game, more players which means more support for the game and it will also give them a reason to improve the current AI and could prove useful in online matches by having AI replace rage quitters. Sure maybe the AI might not be excellent, but overtime it can be improved. Should it be high priority right now? No definitely not. Should it never be added? No and to think that is just silly.
A.I. are purposely dumbed down to make it easier for FT’s. If they were actually decent it could throw a match way into predators favor, we wouldn’t want that now would we?
When I say improve I mean make them more intelligent not make them unstoppable killing machines.
Ya but DBD was worse and they’re much more comparable.
You also have to consider the practicality.
It took siege a year, which costed an entire season, plus a map, for 3. Yes 3 missions.
Now look at Illfonic and tell me they’re anyway comparable.
Not if it sucks which is very likely.
Same is true for working on multiplayer
But they have a reason for working on the A.I. to improve the multiplayer. And if they’re focusing on other things its because they have bigger fish to fry which means, they’re prioritizing.
Again. Look at Illfonic. Do they look like the type of company that could make a single player game thats half decent.
I get this and I am saying they are purposely dumbed down to make it easier for FT’s if they were any smarter could have an issue and it was strongly favor pred at that point. A.I.'s were always meant to be space fillers not intelligent enough to be a real threat since they want you more focused on pred not A.I.
No im not confusing working on a single player game with hard work, cause they are both one in the same.
take to much time away from the multiplayer?? the only thing the game has going for it and to this day they havent gotten it right, if your game is going to be only multiplayer only focused you better have that working as clean as possible with much to do…which this game has neither. Cause players are majority saying fix this not add this to make the game actually worth its price, the players time or the cost of the DLC they charge.
And yes destiny 2 did have story mode and to your it was bare bones to others it may not have been, but lets say that it was bare bones, guess what the game had stuff for the player to actually do, the online worked the story was there for people who didnt want to play online
You say “working on outbreak it took an entire season of content, and an additional map loss” ok your point is what, so its a problem when your lose what you want but its ok that others dont, its ok to sacrifice a single player content as long as multiplayer is there? And I said Devs are half assing doing single player modes casue they see that you will pay $60+ just to play online, so your proving to them that. why should they add stuff when your will pay for nothing ummmm like predator hunting grounds.
You do know Destiny 2 made extremely more money then PHG right? And im not im saying that the devs should make it in a time frame, and your saying the devs that can’t even release an update thats nothing but a reskinned class and stat changes without causing major bugs should make a single player mode, the reaso nthe game is like that is because they know you will pay for what ever they give you. I was asking for this mode as was majority of other people wayy before the game came out, and your hear saying hey this game has bugs fix this fix that why are you not shocked that they haven’t fixed what you want though?
And DBD is lasting longer because the player base finds the game fun…players dont find this game fun hence why its player base is basically dead. If your going to carter to a specific player base and " specialize in their strength." as you say the game should have modes and gameplay to keep your audience interested PHG did not do that and if this is their strength then maybe your right about them not doing a single payer mode if they cant even get their only mode game right even when other devs ahve done it better like DBD when they were a small team working on an independent game but illfoic worked on two franchises and both games are completely buggy messes but like you said they specialize in this. Because if they didnt why would they make 2 games that only catered to online players and for both games they got countless requests to make offline content and yes it was buggy but guess what thats their strength apparently.
Offline will give the game longevity and like I keep saying stop thinking this game will be a DBD when it wont be cause DBD. fans enjoy the gameplay PHG fans dont enjoy the gameplay overall.

I think you’re confusing bot mode of already existing multiplayer modes for triple A quality full fledged campaign. Which I don’t think any reasonable person is asking for. A bot mode is not as complex as that. Anyway we already know they’re most likely working on it so given their comment about it and the now being able to pause private matches.
