I came to hunt for it's unique environment, and identity amongst the FPS genre. If it moves towards COD, or anything that is away from what brought me into hunt I will simply leave.
I agree with most of what you say in your video. But from 4:16 - 5:00 watching you not heal your big bar, then almost heal it, then stop, then go shoot one Caldwell shell each time before immediately reloading after each shot was something 😅
Think the biggest problems are low skill/ cheese additions like remote explosive and insta revive from range. Game is 10x more interesting durning events, they should definently not both for fun and for game health have long breaks between events.
SUREFOOT IS STILL BROKEN. When you pledge to the wilderness pack and get surefoot it is bugged and has been the whole two weeks the event has been going. If you pledge and get that pact then crouch. Just hold W while ADS and your sights will not be aligned. Probably due to the increased movement speed when crouched, the kicker is that it persists if you decide to stand up. Funny enough when you crouch again the bug seemingly toggles itself off but now you don’t get the increased crouch movement speed, once again upon crouching another time you will now be unable to move forward and aid with any considerable accuracy. Pressing A or D while moving forward significantly reduces the effect and shots are much easier to hit but when you are holding W only it is basically impossible to hit anything beyond 5M away. If you really want to see how terrible this glitch is go to the shooting range with the nitro. It’s hilarious to see 😅 also it seems the longer the gun is the more out of line the shot is placed. This glitch killed me so many time before I realized what was happening. I Shift+W all the time and I think I have pretty snappy aim but I was not hitting any shots, I also only ran Surefoot.
Good points, mate! One thing I would add is that with having constant events where pledging and getting cash is an integral part of the game, hunt turned into a walking simulator. Every game you go to a cart, then clues, then center point, then boss, then extract. And you often end up having small, pointless fights. After the event, we had a couple of games where we just went to the boss (solo boss!) and had a great fight there. No running around, no pledging, no getting cash, just boss and fight. It was a good balance between action and no action that is currently lacking in both bounty clash and the regular game mode.
Glad I'm not the only one.. Sometimes the best matches I had, were the ones where the team ignored pledges, central cache and just did regular boss fights. Obviously the weekly challenges are trying to force you to go to the center or other resupplies.
They've been trying to cater to a more mainstream audience in expense of the game's identity for a while now. Hunt is nothing like how it was back when I picked it up, and I fear it will get more and more generic as time goes on.
@@abaranihei2608 It's funny you should say that, since GTFO "died" because the Devs wasted resources to grasp the attention of a broader audience, instead of working on the actual issues with the game. The hard truth is that the average casual player is never gonna get into games like these. That's why they're called "niche".
I really have a problem with the game beeing more Event than Vanilla Hunt just for -in my opinion- monetization and those kind of players that always need something else and new just to keep their attention on the game. Vanilla Hunt would be perfect if crytek would implement some serious Health Updates and not content after content after content for alle the short attention span fortnite Kiddies. For fuck sake this feels like somebody paints the soccer field in a different color every two months and comes up with different rules. Either you like the base game or not. I not then please play one of the basic games which are already out there.
That Ghost Face skin was the straw that broke the camels back for me after the Crytek put the game back into early access with the engine update. This is the first event in three years that I haven't touched and I definitely won't be coming back.
@@MrMurkosullivan 🤷♂It fits perfectly with the game's aesthetic, its pretty similar to the Reaper skin. The only thing that annoys you is that you recognize the mask from the Scream slasher movies. Did the santa skin made you uninstall the game too?
Hunt has always had a super negative community or sometimes a toxic positive one. People are being over dramatic about the skin if u don’t like it ok, if u like it ok but why the need to write a Reddit essay of 500+ words to say nope this THIS small thing broke the straw 😂 hunt has had such bad bugs and is so broken in it’s spaghetti code since launch most of the community doesn’t even realise this.
Not always. Back when I joined in 2019, the community was pretty normal, and if anything, most people were highly optimistic about the future of the game. But Crytek chose to ignore the actual issues of the game, and in the last couple of years they have started changing the pace and identity of the game in an attempt to appeal to a broader audience, seemingly not realizing that people are leaving because of the aforementioned long lasting issues. People have just been watching Crytek mistreat the game for too long. For a niche title, Hunt has one of the best PVP combat in the genre, and could have a much bigger playerbase, if it wasn't known for its jankyness and bugs. Just look how they fumbled the 1896 transition.
You are describing the problem people are having. It is not "the skin" and as I said "you don't have to use it". Even though yesterday I met a bunch of ghosties that looked super off on the map. Anyway for many people the skin was just one thing too much. We are struggling with constant changes, bugs (can't even use the search bar in my inventory correctly), server issues and it feels as if Crytek is more busy with other topics.
Where do you think is Hunt: Showdown developing to?
All good or are we facing massive changes in what the game is supposed to be?

Comparing hunt to fortnite or cod, even in the state/direction it is going, is such a massive stretch.

Happens to the best of us 😂 sorry for that
Games can’t even have a skin themed within the world of HUNT without being referenced to COD

At times I have a funny bug where I cannot equip any weapon using my weapon wheel :-/

You want it to end like GTFO?

Although you are correct about not having to buy it... Today I had to see it on other players. Uninstalled it after. after 1.5k+ hours
bye.
@@RiftW4lker Just saw your ethics clog. Super cool! wow
Imagine abandoning such an unique game like Hunt showdown after 1.5k+ hours just for a crossover skin which is adapted to hunt aesthetic 🤷♂
@@sirlestat9549 hahaha good one. Adapted hahah

i would prefer chars from the old grimm fary tales. In my oppinion it would fit much better, than those DBD chars.
