Man ok the game has some bugs.
But which game hasn’t?
Its not that bad.
I actually respect the team, because I can see how much they respect the lore and the likeness of the characters.
Not to mention that all the assets and environments look amazing.
Sure, some bugs are annoying but the game is still fun.
Should FT be able to spot the Pred when 100% cloaked? (Spamming Spot button)
Are you on console or pc?
PC
Then my experience with this game is probably vastly different from yours .
From what I can gather anyway , from any pc players that have mentioned anything , alot don’t seem to experience alot of the bugs console has.
Console had blue screen crashing for weeks at a time at points
Its pretty hard to spot any Pred that is 100% cloaked and hasn’t been hit before.
And even if you manage to do it, you can’t spam more than 3 spots before getting a cooldown on it.
I assume the situation looked different from your perspective, because when playing pred, you simply can’t know if you are 100% cloaked from what you see by yourself.
Players using high graphic settings will see you longer than players on low graphics, because the cloak will slowly fade out in a duration of about 4-6 seconds, and I guess that’s what happened to you.
I see.
No, the only super annoying and persistent bug I have had for 2 days, was after an update, when getting parried as the predator, the game would crash on my side and I would leave my gorgeous alien body in the game for the FT to rape.
4-6 seconds?! You know this for a fact?
Isn’t it supposed to be 3 seconds normaly?
Thats similar to the console I think , but it wasn’t for two days , it was for weeks.
I dont say anything of my opinion, I use my eyes and know what I experienced and my friends . Even in the bug reports ? Everyone cant be lying and hating on the game? I bought it on pre-order didn’t I? I hung around for a year for it to improve and it never really did
Yeah, if you play on medium graphics, a cloaked Pred will fade out in about 2-3 seconds once he stands still, while on high graphics, it takes significantly longer.
On low graphics he is already nearly invisible while moving and will turn invisible nearly immediately, and you can’t even see the traps anymore.

You know… I would agree with you if they had left the game at the state it was when it launched.
But the fact that they keep spicing it up with new weapons, specializations, perks etc shows that they care.
Although I will admit, I dont see why some bugs that are being reported by so many, dont get resolved…

I respect more opinions than my own , as for the state of it at launch and the state now ? What is the difference you can see? .
My view on it is , added cosmetics doesnt count towards the state? If that is what you mean?. I’m not saying I’ve never enjoyed playing it , because that would be a bold face lie . Anything else I have said ? The numbers don’t lie , sadly . I could show you reasons for anything I have said .
If by state you mean how it runs? I dont see that much of a difference if I’m honest. It still has bugs that have been there since launch and I won’t pretend I could code and run a flawless game 😁 , like I said above i dont really think they aren’t trying to fix them? I think there must be something in the process that either reverts “fixes” back to their broken state , or they do actually manage to improve certain ones but adding in skins/cosmetics could set off a chain reaction of sorts in the code? I won’t pretend I know , but I won’t pretend the issues don’t exist either .
Console certainly seems to have issues of their own compared to pc , which would make sense .
If I hear you, and I can locate where you are, I’ll shoot in that direction to make you skittish lol.
No, no.
When I say that i think that they care, I dont mean the aesthetics,
but the constant features they add.
They are constantly changing the balance of the game, and in that sense, yeah it is quite different from what it used to be when it launched.
I dont mean different in a better or a worse way, thats not the point and its up to each person to judge.
All I am saying is that this proves that they care about the experience the game offers, but again I dont understand why they dont resolve some long lived bugs.
Well good for you.
That’s what I am saying you should do as well.
Force me to move.
Not spam the spot button and get a lucky hit.
Balance isnt a word i would say is accurate in their balancing 😁 . Yeah they added specialisations for fireteam and then for pred months later , but even they are broken . Preds impenetrable was counter by hipfire , it just didn’t count against hipfire .
They adjusted the cloak eventually but then added a handful of items to fireteam that render the cloak useless etc . I dont think its really an easy dynamic to balance either , being honest . Its how much bugs and features are pretty much broken . They added one perk for pred until they added specialisations and alot of basic functions were broken . I dont know about now , but on pc and console you could shoot your plasma caster backwards 😁 two simple buttons on console and you could shoot behind you uncharged and you wouldn’t turn around .
As they should , the final game was literally the beta , you could just unlock items that were locked in the beta . It was pretty much identical number of weapons and perks at launch that were in the beta
Again… I am not saying that they are doing a good job at balancing. i am saying that all these constant changes and additions prove that they haven’t abandoned the game to its fate. So I dont get why they dont take the time to fix bugs too. Thats all.

I’m not attacking you or your opinion BTW mate , I just went down the rabbit hole with alot of things . I got what you meant .
If people enjoy the game ? Good on them , I just don’t see why pointing clear facts out is discouraged . Best case scenario? It improves certain aspects , worse case scenario? People don’t agree and call me an asshole 😁
I have facts on my side and numbers .
