So I actually bought this game not being a die hard pred fan

Now hear me out

-I never watched any of the movies before buying this game

But I had see bits and pieces of predators and always thought they were cool so when I saw the game my interest was peaked

-So I watched the youtube channel deadmeat’s videos on all the predator movies and the videos on the alien movies and avp movies just for good measure

That was enough to get me hyped for the game and preorder it and while I still think the game could be in a better state I can feel illfonic is slowly going in the right direction
Then the dutch dlc came out and to show support I purchased it and while I feel it was not really worth the money I didn’t complain cause I new what I was buying a new class and early access to a weapon and knife so that was fine
By this point I was feeling the man I feel bad not having watched any of the movies or buying any merch

-So I’m with my brother at gamestop for him to get something and what do I find a PoP figure of the 87 pred decloaking so I snatched it up and bought

Finally I went on TV searched up predators and recorded as many as I could

-Predator-I felt like for the first movie it was alright but definitely didn’t have enough predator for me solid B movie for me
-Predator 2-Much more pred which was nice and showed off more of his arsenal but not a super fan of all the side characters but still pretty good C+
-Predators-Now this is what I’m talking about lots more pred action actors I know and am more invested in more space stuff just more more more definitely my favorite of the three but I can understand people disagreeing cause the murderer guy turning on them in the end was dumb but other than that I really enjoyed A movie for me

Now unfortunately I couldn’t record The Predator but I see it that the changes in story as far as the autistic kid and trying to improve themselves is were the issues lie in that and I agree that sounds stupid

But as for the predator franchise In a whole i completely see why yall care about it so much and honestly i want a new movie simply so I can go see it and because yall need something to get the sour taste of the last movie out XD

For me the pred franchise is an 8 out of 10 only because it’s a mixed bag of good bad and ugly but it deserves it’s high regarded recognition
And I hope the game keeps getting better to do those movies comics etc the justice they deserve.

Me too, I’m a f13 diehard fan and love this game

I’ve never seen any if the movies or read any of the comics or anything, but I knew about predator, cause it’s pretty famous.

And when I heard you could play as a predator I was like, yooo that sounds awesome.

Now I wanna watch all the movies lol.

The whole point of the 87 movie was that you didn’t see the Predator much, that’s what made it awesome. It’s a different kind of movie; an unknown, unseen enemy that’s stalking and killing an elite squad one by one. It’s all about the mystery, the anxiety and tension. Trying to appreciate its mystery now is pretty impossible when everyone knows what the Predator is. But back in the 80s when I saw it for the first time, it was intense. I fell in love with Predator because of that movie, and then everything came after that and was an extra bonus (sequels, comics, toys).

Welcome to the Predator fanbase🍀👌🏼💯

So here’s the main spoil about going from games/books and all this stuff now back to 87 and in 90s (P2)

Alien came out in 79 (?) And it was amazing space monster horror. If you time it, the Xeno has very little Screen time.

87 Predator went by the same method. You don’t really see it which is why it built up tension. There’s a shot, when Dutch is fresh out the river and hiding on the tree mudded up and the camera pans in from behind him as Predator walks up towars him and its just a great shot to show how close they really were to each other. Predator was unknown, didn’t know anything about him.

It was 1987, no one knew anything about Predator. At all.

Just like 79 with Xenos.

P2 used some of the same but injected some more action. It stepped a bit away but made some sense given the setting. People still didn’t know much about Preds.

As all of it went on, they gave it more Screen time both a good and bad thing. Media flooded with new stories and comics.

It can be too much of good thing. You lose the suspense that captures the first crowds and then they went with “bigger/superer” preds as a solution vs actual hunter skills variations which is what they were know for.

Then AvP and AvPR came into and its own bag of greatness and terrible things.

Im not gonna start with 2018.

Absolutely right.

Most of people was exposed to Aliens and Predator in a way or another; as many pointed out, they didn’t watch any of the movies, didn’t read any of the novels or comic books–yet they were aware of Predator—as a side note, what an achivement, two “monsters” which are so unique that they are part of our collective imagination.

But it brings the issue that the thrill of discovering them first hand via the movies is lost, the figure of Predator is no longer mysterious…

Yet I recommend watch all movies, draw your own conclusions, enjoy them for what they are…then you may take over the novels and comics- if youblike what you saw and are looking for some expansion of the universe-currently Dark Horse putting out amazing comic books so-called Essentials, Predator, Aliens, and Aliens vs Predator, they gather full runs, the commonly labbeled “best ones”…

Predator is a solid B movie??

Predator is technically or was ahead of its time back in the day btw lmao… pointing that out… alike many other movies such as E.T, Star wars, halloween

Usually its in A+ category for its time…
In current time it would actually pass of as A- but i still rate it A++ lmao…

A- or just A is given to movies rn that has decent story and decent CGI and effects…
