Questions from a new player

Hi, i’m not sure if i should buy this game. Maybe someone can help me.

  • Is this game low populated?
  • Will most bugs be fixed or will be waited until it’s becoming a feature?
  • Are there skins which are no more possible to get?
  • Do i need to invest much time to get something useful (rare item, legendary) from lootboxes?
  • Is the game predator or marine sided?

no the population is fine

some will others will be features there are some bugs that have been around for months due to their strange QA policies

Jungle Hunter 87 is no longer available he was a pre order bonus and as far as we know will stay that way

no only cosmetics

It is Marine sided and has been that way since the game came out

Literally only 20 people play this game, you’re gonna run into the same players over and over on a daily basis.

Lmaooooo…no!

It’s illfonic sided, they make all the money.

Thanks, that was a fast answer. Just dont want to join a dieing game, where you’re fighting mostly against the same player.

What bugs annoys you most actually? I was reading on reddit, that there is actually a problem with the cloaking device. Which is important for the gameplay i think.

If it’s only the one skin i can live with it.

I like cosmetics but I don’t like the lootboxes in every game.

I saw in videos that the marines sitting in their camp and if the pedator appears the health is going down very quickly. So i guess it’s a fast gameplay?

right now i’m taking a break until the next hotfix because of 3 bugs

  1. Cloak doesn’t work
  2. thermal vision and night vision goggles are too bright and simply don’t work
  3. Sometimes games will not have any audio while there is a fix if your on the PS5 platform or PC there isn’t one if your on PS4

gameplay is very fast paced matches sometimes end in less than 2minutes though other times you can get a 16ish minute game

Low populated? Sure, you’ll run into people.

Bugs? Most get fixed a couple weeks after updates, some have yet to be fixed or even addressed.

The iconic 1987 Predator is locked to pre-order. Illfonic has never been known to be wise.

Time? You unlock things by level progression. 150 is all you need to achieve.

There are no marines, it’s Fireteam (FT), and the game is heavily constructed in their favor.

Thank you all, that helped me for my decision.

I implore you to not buy this game
For the first couple of months you will feel like it’s the best game ever but after a while of dealing with
1 bugs that never get fixed
2 devs that don’t listen to the forums
3 busted game mechanics
So I’d recommend keeping your money
Also only 800 people play this game
It’s kinda dead
But I can’t tell you what to do with your money. You do you

Still like dbd. Also liked Deathgarden before it got stomped.
Was just reading, that the game has a new ceo and want to fix the bugs now. (What they did before?).
I liked alien vs predator and im still hoping for something liket that in multi or singleplayer.

Some games i really want and know that i’m getting it when i first see it. Here i was still unsure. But I’m watching the preogress and see what happens. Maybe i’m trying it ut when its very cheap.

My bad

For fireteam, it’s good. For predator you have to wait more than 7minutes to find matches

If the bugs will be fixed, it will take a long time. So probably not. We had game breaking bugs before, that were just fixed months after it has been reported.

Marine sided. The game is in the best state since beginning in terms of balance , but the balance is still trash.
If you have friends who olay the game,get the game kn sale, otherwise I cant recommend it.

It will sadly feel eons less polished than DBD in every way. DBD has vision and a general design philosophy, this game doesn’t & it’s more like someone’s college project. People only care about the fact it has pred in the title kind of like the only reason a couple hundred people are still playing A:FTE on PC.

There aren’t any real classes, just different stat variations that make a second of a difference in each category. scout can take rocket launcher. The “heavy” predator class can take a bow and arrow.
All predators have the exact same hit and run playstyle with nothing really differentiating them which means every match plays out the same exact way with pred trying to pepper people with plasma fire or arrows from a mile away while a timer counts down but thats pretty much the entire game with no depth to it aside from how accurate you are at peppering people from a mile away.

Think Evolve if the only class was Goliath and how boring that would get with 1 monster with all the same skills and playstyle. That and it’s buggy as hell and the netcodes garbage, you’ll get shot through a wall at some point and die across the map because 1 persons desynced and shooting at your ghost & the game’s hosted on some borderline experimental amazon cloud server as a hitscan FPS.
Desync’s the cause of about 50% of the bugs, the rest is pure incompetence as Illfonic yet again makes it clear why all their work was scrapped when they were working on Star Citizen.

They gave this game for free for the whole month to PS players.
If you’re a PC player and wanna pay the full price for it, I’d say either get the game on some serious discount or buy a better game tbh.

  • I never had problem finding matches, only the waiting for the Predator could be slow, but not as much as i expected.

  • Some bugs (were and) will be fixed, others might stay.

  • As said from the others the Jungle Hunter is the only one you can’t access, but the mask can be found in the lootboxes.

  • You can be OP since the beginning, the rest Is pretty much aestetich.

  • Everyone says that the game is marine(Fireteam) sided, but honestly if you’re good you’ll be unstoppable both sides.

Examples? Genuinely asking .

Pretty sure the invisibility one will be fixed, beacuse is too debilitating, but others like the enemy bot AI randomly shutting off will stay.

I mean what ones were fixed?
