So in spite of hunt showdown having record high amount of problems. This video was done in order to explain why I simply don't play the game. I can get the constructive criticism of people acting like shills for the game. But let's be honest here. If I broke down every single problem that hunt has accumulated over the past 4 months after there new engine upgrade. The concept would break down into nearly 4-6 videos in total. I refuse to make that much of a breakdown for hunt because its already in a bad rep for false promises and consistent issues let alone horrible game mechanic balancing. Yes I could do that but its not worth the effort for a dying title. 🪦🪦🪦
I don't quite understand this comment. This is one of your more viewed videos in a while, so I would say it runs counter to your statement that hunt is 'dying'. There has been a good faith effort to engage with the content and provide you with feedback. If you just put all of that under the umbrella of 'people shilling for the game' I guess you're not interested in improving.
@@tomsmith7265 You act as if making more videos describing more issues for the simple fact that Crytek is somehow not responsible for selling a product. Everyone bought Hunt Showdown in expectation that the game would be in at least decent working condition. It's also incredibly easy to grind out videos for Hunt because of the mass amount of changes with problems that constantly occur with each update. I understand the logic of chasing the grind for views. But even if I'd made an hour or hell 2 hours long of a full on review for Hunt Showdown after the engine update and adding 1896 to the title. Which doesn't make a new game either, that in itself was a really pointless change. It's also incredibly stupid that I'm getting staked burned despite the fact that the game is consistently losing its own identity and player base. If Crytek wants to lose their already built community and never put actual effort into their game. Then I just don't see how Hunt or its community will ever improve it's as simple as that.
@@EpicGamingGuruReal It is separate from crytek or hunt amigo. Its input in how you can make your videos more informative and engaging to us viewers. I don't really mind if you dislike hunt now, or crytek, or the playerbase. I just have no clue why, except that the game I play hours every week apparently isn't even in working condition for you. I don't really understand 😅. But it's fine, if you just wanted to rant and this is just a one off video that you're not interested in following up, then yes - my input isn't relevant. Good luck with the future videos.
@@tomsmith7265 Crytek is separate from Hunt... This is exactly why I don't respond to the comments. Ahh yes the company that literally developed hunt and is responsible for the changes to Hunt is somehow a different entity all together. Sure sure will go with that logic. 🤡
I'm not saying you are necessarily wrong, or that you're not entitled to your opinion - but this was not a great video to support your opinion. And it's going to be a bit of a wall of text, but only because I feel like it could've been an interesting video. I will try to be constructive. You claim the game is massively losing player count. Looking at steam charts, it's not. There was a peak for 1886 after which is settles back to normal numbers, then a smaller peak for murder circus, and it's starting to settle now. You claim the game is 'completely broken' and a 'bug filled mess' but you provide exactly 0 examples of the bugs you are talking about. You ask 'what is hunt trying to be' but you don't explain what you understood hunt to be, how you feel it's deviating from that, and why that is a bad thing. You just state 'there was a direction' and they are 'adding stuff' instead of 'focusing on what they have' You mention the example of the revive bolts, but you don't state why you dislike it. I mean, I can imagine why you might dislike it, but I would prefer to hear it from you in the video, with some examples. The UI section, something I very much agree with you on, is also missing any kind of details - you mention you have a 'video' to showcase how terrible it is, but it's just you scrolling up and down twice on the tool menu.. and a comparison that even Tarkov is better, but I don't play Tarkov.. You even state, when speaking about the UI, that a 'good example' of the improvements you would like to see is them implementing 'quality of life changes' whilst 'simultaneously adding improvements to the game'. This is of course not an example of improvements at all.. At least mention a quality of life change you feel they should've added and provide some examples of improvements you feel match closer to the 'direction' you feel hunt should be taking. I would've focused on showing how you are forced to use keyboard shortcuts to be able to navigate without clicking 8 times, and then showcase how between the different menu screens the keyboard shortcuts actually change as an example of unacceptable UX. It's odd timing for me, I think the murder circus event is one of the better ones in recent history. I like bounty clash as a game mode. The Revive bolts weren't as overpowered as I thought. I like the new event traits. I like the addition of subsonic ammo and the newer weapons. But I also understand how these changes seem to be Hunt trying to move more towards an 'action' orientated gamestyle, where things move faster and there's less stalemates (something they actually said in their dev updates). So it feels like it's moving more towards a call of duty style, which I don't play for a reason. I think that might be your problem with the game now, which is fair - but this video doesn't support or deny that feeling I have. Best of luck on your future videos amigo
I've been enjoying Hunt more and more with the past updates since the engine upgrade, both in terms of the new content and the playability. And I wanted to comment on the video, but you've already done a good job stating everything I would have. The only bug/issue that affected me was the mouse-cursor appearing in-game, and yeah it was legitimately negatively impacting my fun, but it has not appeared since they've patched it out. I only have about ~250 hours in the game since 2022 but my experience has almost been the exact opposite of this video's creator.
This game is fine. It's doing great and the new event is super fun and I don't even like clowns. This dude is just sad cuz he's reminiscing on memories of a game not the actual game
When talking about issues such as UI and bugs, you should provide examples and display them in the video. It would make the viewer more connected to the video. In the end I didn't understand what bugs and UX elements exactly ruined the game for you. I personally believe the game is doing fine according to the steam charts. The fanbase is very commited to this game and so the numbers seldom change.
My only real complaint is that I'm stuck in 5-6* lobbies after the engine upgrade. I used to be a 3* that OCCASIONALLY got a 4* rating, now I don't get a game with less than 50% 6* players. I definitely play better but it's kinda grueling just to get in a couple wins on any particular day. And solo play is a no go for me anymore, mostly because while I like ambushes and being a bushwookie, I do NOT enjoy doing that for 20+ minutes. None of that has to do with gameplay or "direction" though, just matchmaking.
I'm 2 star solo always in with 3 4 or 5 stars. When play with my son a 4 star it's against st 4 5 stars. Not fun either way unless you have friends to play as trios. Which I dont
Stop feeling like a puss and go on to learn man, stop being a bush wookie and go seek 1v3, rush inside building, die, die, die but learn, nobody cares about your mmr or KD man, play and get better, you’ll « deserve » (as it seems to be the feeling for you in tour comment) that 6 star mmr. You can do it man 👍 maybe you’re the next Rachtaz. You’ll get better by seeking bad situations and fights, it is inevitable 😅
@@Ian-lm5ep Yeah, that definitely shouldn't happen :( It's neither fun nor fair... for anyone. I used to think SBMM systems were a good idea, after 3 years of experiencing them in a wide genre variety, I'm exclusively against them in any form.
This is your reminder that David Fifield used to work at Raven Software for Call of Duty: Online up until like 2015, the game immediately started going downhill the moment they signed him on as whatever the hell they gave him for a title. Also Crytek's insistence on using Leaseweb's awful servers hampers their ability to retain any players, since Leaseweb has literally been the worst server provider in mainstream gaming; to put it into perspective that Black Desert Online, a Korean MMORPG, stopped using LW in the first two months of launch because the servers were that bad.
Do investors pull the strings ? Because that would make a lot of sense. The recovery shot, and rev bolt is what's bothered me most. Along with the failure to fix bugs when they continue to add new things and sell new skins.
Dude I 100% agree with you man, the last two updates added in too many things that I think just don't belong. (Rev bolts, recovery shots, more spam weapons) hunt is pushing me back to eft.
@@josephstalin7668 who cares most of the players have left the game. The event player base is pathetic. It's like 10k online 6PM-12AM on Fri-Sun during the event. Less than 6k without. It used to be 20k+.
I told all my friends and promised myslef as soon as they started adding anything from my world. Like people or celebrities i was done. And i said i would tolerate necro when it came out but nothing else like it. Never again will i play
I haven't played since the clown show down event and I finally played today. I feel kinda dirty now. My squad mates keep tryna get me to play but they are new and don't know how much better it was.
@rawnukles yea man won't be getting back in think i had a little over 1000 hours played since release and it's not even the same thing anymore. If the game never changed to 1896 I think I would have played it forever
i like your first point, i bought hunt last week with a friend and those were our EXACT observations, comparing it to tarkov and saying how shit the ui is.
I have been playing Hunt for over 4 years with 1300 hours. While i do get the sentiment and my patience with crytek wears thin as well more than it used to. The "game is dying" narrative is not substantiated by the data. Back when i first started the game regularly had player counts in the 4 digit range and being a morning time gamer you couldnt find anyone in US East servers. Now the player counts are regularly hovering around the 15 to 20k range during down moments and shooting up during events. Sure the game doesnt pull COD numbers of players, but it never was going to
Not going to post a lot since a lot of people already brought up a lot of good points. I'll just add that while the UI isn't perfect...after they patched it it's very functional. I can kit out a hunter without using loadouts in about 30 seconds. Personally I prefer the new UI but that's just my opinion.
100% agree, i loved this game so much during the 2018-2022 era. It was so cool but now they are keeping making weird things that don't belong to hunt imo (spamm weapons, explosives and specials ammos on everything)
3k hrs: i dont mind the new ui even it has a lot of seensless screens and most of the bugs are not gamebreaking. i mind playing against sus players from totally different regions all the time
Anyone that stopped playing hunt because of the new UI (which is not good, but not that horrible) is just a crybaby. If beeing troubled by the UI and not beeing able to adapt to it, is a bigger issue than gameplay itself then, imo, you're not having the right mindset for games. and no, old Hunt's UI was not even close to "perfectly fine".
@@xxtapout12xx43 Oh don't worry I'm working on something big after this video. Can't say what otherwise it's just going to spoil it. I do appreciate the information though and I absolutely hate the direction a lot of game corps are taking games. I remember the grand years when games had something to look forward to.
Sad this is, if you check steamdb charts the player base is slowly but steadly going up despite the stupid Crytek decisions... Guess they try to bring more casual ppl into the game whom were never a target player for this game.
I understand the frustration but you don't raise any concrete points just vague complaints about the bugs. The game is worse because the devs tried to upgrade the game to renew interest but so little of the original dev team remains and its so limited the game is built upon layers of spaghetti code. The update was rushed because they were desperate to increase the playerbase and their dev cycle is so slow it needed another year to cook but companies pressure their devs to rush things out without proper testing. Most live service games are a rushed sloppy mess these days, like Tarkov, Sea of Thieves, etc. They just pump out new content to retain interest. I honestly expected the game to be even worse on launch knowing their history. It'll improve eventually but we're about 3 dev teams of separation from the original vision of the game. Mechanically the game is in a good state, its just the performance and audio that are absolutely fucked. They'll iron out most of the glitches in time but I don't think they have the time or talent to ever unfuck the audio. At least you're not trying to peddle a false narrative like many nostalgic amnesiac "veterans" who claim the game is becoming more spammy, the game used to be a lot more spammy before the Dolch, Avto, C&K, Bornheim, Winfield, Officer, etc. got nerfed. Every year the game has been quite different with varied flaws but as long as wallbangs and audio work most of the time its still the same Hunt we've always known and loved.
Sadly i agree. I have played since the beginning, almost 2000h at this point and i just lost hope after they failed to fix the ui and all the new bugs. Its not one big thing, its a thousand small ones. The gameplay is just a shadow of its former self. I think cryrek means well with many changes but they have listened to the wrong feedback and changed too much of the game. PS. Dualies is the worst and i hope people who use it step on a lego
'Untolerble' nothing of substance was said in this video, no stats, no explanations, just opinions (which you are esntitled to) but man why dont you come back and make a more concise and articulate video, or just tell us you dont like it
Bought the Game 1/6 Years ago and it was Bad started to Play it 2 Days ago again and its so much better now From the UI the Gameplay and it feels much more realistic in the 20 Hours i played it i had Not a Single bug☠️
mald cope seethe etc I still have fun and can enjoy the game. the UI is an acquired taste. imagine being livid because they didn't test every edge case on every gpu 😂 plenty of other games for you to play, quit milking this dead screaming horse "I'm a loss for words" might be the most helpful thing you said. you just keep saying it's broken buggy and glitchy without showing any of them
Sounds like a you problem. I have fun. I only play a handful of matches a day if I play every day. I have other games to play so for me I don't have the issues you do. My opinion is different, not facts.
I never Heard about this game until after it got the big graphic update i really like this game on console i haven't experienced bug's or glitches the ui was hard as hell after a week it was fine to get used to it seems like most of the problems are on pc i hate the cross play with pc players im getting destroyed and killed from so far away with a mid range rifle with no scope i couldn't even see the person that killed me theres Cheaters in the game that's the real problem this game has since I've been playing
ive been playing hunt since 2020 and i enjoy the game the most rn, your point is invalid, sry bro, ur just mad about some changes that i admit were not good, but the game it self is getting better and more fun when it comes to gameplay and mechanics. you dont even know when the game came out and yet ur talking about issues like bugs etc (i havent really encountered mutch since i started plaing) without any footage supporting your claims. The game is not dying look at steam charts since release the game has a steady increse of players with every update. pls use facts a show the bugs ur talking about, everything i got from this video is that you are mad and cant get your point across
Complaining about the UI now is irrelevant, it works perfectly fine now that we are used to it. It literally takes 10 seconds from the end of a game to make my stuff for my new hunter and be ready for the next game. It’s not even a problem anymore, go with it. Bugs are in all multiplayer video games, even solo games (Hi Bethesda, hi Ubisoft) and it is hard to keep a small community multiplayer game alive when you have so much to do as a small team so ofc they have to sell DLC and battle pass to survive with what the Video Game market is today. This video is just a kid crying cause time passes. Sad man, leave Hunt if tou cant bear change, sad tho… The game is not ruined, it is in its best state since it launched actually 😅 Launch a multiplayer game on your own and see how it goes man… Embrace reality instead of crying without giving solutions man. To end this comment, if early players are leaving the game, it’s not because of what it is today for the most part but because, they want to play something else than hunt after all these years 😂 Aight stay safe and stop crying on the internet man, ✌️
I done 6k hours and game was golden but since new map and ui change it’s so bad to play slow fps .these new weapons everyone has crag silencer overpowered and silent or these new weapons from the circus is a joke.
@ What about your cpu. The game is cpu heavy mostly. Perfect match for hunt is ryzen 7800x3d due to its high L3 cache. I have Ryzen 7 9800x3d and can't say nothing bad about it, its perfect and i dont drop a single fps..
@ i7 and i9's 13. and 14. gen are absolute pile of dogshit cpus.. talking from my own experience, i had i7 14700k for 2 years and i kept getting stutters and fps drops like crazy in hunt.. month ago i switched to Ryzen 7 9800x3d and it was the best decision, hunt is smooth as butter and other games are running flawlessly
The biases in the comments shows. Rubbish? Check player count. I played for free thru gamepass, 3 games in I’m against prestige 10s? That tells me there’s not many players playing. You’re a minority defending this game.
Idk man I am new to the game so I never experienced what is was like in the past but I love the game it’s so unique wish I would’ve got into it sooner but I got no complaints 🔥🔥🔥
UI is shit, yes. But what can you do? Just stop crying and adapt to it, now i can recruit infinitely faster. You dont wanna? Ok, just quit the game and keep crying i guess?
alot of complaining, alot of nagging, not alot of explenation nor substantiation. U are ranting about crytek ruining everything without giving a single example of what ruins the experience for you. I agree to a certain degree: the UI is atrocious and like every game, it has its bugs. However, the dev team is actually trying to produce new content in the form of maps, events, new AI, new weapons, traits and so on. They are very transparent on what they are working on for the future and how they will suffice. U are just blatantly talking about them ruining everything and making everything worse. I have to say: if ur only seeing the negative side of Hunt, maybe stop playing or get a lil positive.
I tried playing this game, but after 15 hours i couldn't get used to the needlessly off center crosshair and it triggered the fuck out of my OCD. Cool concept, unfortunately not the game for me. No idea why this game is now recommended to me tho. But algorithm gonna algorithm
Okay I get the UI, you were used to one UI and then they changed it and you don't know anything again but I get the change because the previous UI was hideous, now it at least has the games style. Also the UI looks to be made to be console compatible so PC players might have a harder time going through it. Bugs and glitches? What bugs and glitches? I haven't played the game that long but thus far I haven't encountered a game breaking bug. You were talking about bugs and how they make more bugs with new updates for 1 minute and 36 seconds and haven't named one bug. Again talking about updates that ruin the game but you don't name any updates or changes that ruined the game for you. And the concept of the game seems perfectly fine to me, I have no idea what you're talking about. Like I don't really have a problem with the video and people are entitled to have their own opinions but the thing is, that you haven't really addressed any issues with the game just said why you don't like to play it anymore.
i have been playing since beta 2017, its hilarious as the moment Fifiled joined the dev team this game went straight to Call of duty fast lane :D.. this game tries to be so fucking mainstream its losing the unique identity :D

Now the player counts are regularly hovering around the 15 to 20k range during down moments and shooting up during events. Sure the game doesnt pull COD numbers of players, but it never was going to
Not going to post a lot since a lot of people already brought up a lot of good points. I'll just add that while the UI isn't perfect...after they patched it it's very functional. I can kit out a hunter without using loadouts in about 30 seconds. Personally I prefer the new UI but that's just my opinion.
100% agree, i loved this game so much during the 2018-2022 era. It was so cool but now they are keeping making weird things that don't belong to hunt imo (spamm weapons, explosives and specials ammos on everything)
3k hrs: i dont mind the new ui even it has a lot of seensless screens and most of the bugs are not gamebreaking. i mind playing against sus players from totally different regions all the time
Anyone that stopped playing hunt because of the new UI (which is not good, but not that horrible) is just a crybaby. If beeing troubled by the UI and not beeing able to adapt to it, is a bigger issue than gameplay itself then, imo, you're not having the right mindset for games. and no, old Hunt's UI was not even close to "perfectly fine".
Lmao. Have you ever played a ubisoft game? Or bethesda? Most triple A companies do shit like this constantly.
@@xxtapout12xx43 Oh don't worry I'm working on something big after this video. Can't say what otherwise it's just going to spoil it. I do appreciate the information though and I absolutely hate the direction a lot of game corps are taking games. I remember the grand years when games had something to look forward to.
are you Huuge view or why are you just crying?
Sad this is, if you check steamdb charts the player base is slowly but steadly going up despite the stupid Crytek decisions... Guess they try to bring more casual ppl into the game whom were never a target player for this game.
I understand the frustration but you don't raise any concrete points just vague complaints about the bugs. The game is worse because the devs tried to upgrade the game to renew interest but so little of the original dev team remains and its so limited the game is built upon layers of spaghetti code. The update was rushed because they were desperate to increase the playerbase and their dev cycle is so slow it needed another year to cook but companies pressure their devs to rush things out without proper testing. Most live service games are a rushed sloppy mess these days, like Tarkov, Sea of Thieves, etc. They just pump out new content to retain interest. I honestly expected the game to be even worse on launch knowing their history. It'll improve eventually but we're about 3 dev teams of separation from the original vision of the game. Mechanically the game is in a good state, its just the performance and audio that are absolutely fucked. They'll iron out most of the glitches in time but I don't think they have the time or talent to ever unfuck the audio. At least you're not trying to peddle a false narrative like many nostalgic amnesiac "veterans" who claim the game is becoming more spammy, the game used to be a lot more spammy before the Dolch, Avto, C&K, Bornheim, Winfield, Officer, etc. got nerfed. Every year the game has been quite different with varied flaws but as long as wallbangs and audio work most of the time its still the same Hunt we've always known and loved.
i missed old hunt showdown alot of good players i was fighting with is insane
Sadly i agree. I have played since the beginning, almost 2000h at this point and i just lost hope after they failed to fix the ui and all the new bugs. Its not one big thing, its a thousand small ones. The gameplay is just a shadow of its former self. I think cryrek means well with many changes but they have listened to the wrong feedback and changed too much of the game. PS. Dualies is the worst and i hope people who use it step on a lego
'Untolerble' nothing of substance was said in this video, no stats, no explanations, just opinions (which you are esntitled to) but man why dont you come back and make a more concise and articulate video, or just tell us you dont like it
What direction they want? Its easy. Make it western cod selling mtx and battle passes with trash colaborations.
Bought the Game 1/6 Years ago and it was Bad started to Play it 2 Days ago again and its so much better now From the UI the Gameplay and it feels much more realistic in the 20 Hours i played it i had Not a Single bug☠️
Tell us how you really feel buddy!
Remove the MMR system
mald cope seethe etc
I still have fun and can enjoy the game. the UI is an acquired taste. imagine being livid because they didn't test every edge case on every gpu 😂 plenty of other games for you to play, quit milking this dead screaming horse
"I'm a loss for words" might be the most helpful thing you said. you just keep saying it's broken buggy and glitchy without showing any of them
Sounds like a you problem. I have fun. I only play a handful of matches a day if I play every day. I have other games to play so for me I don't have the issues you do. My opinion is different, not facts.
I never Heard about this game until after it got the big graphic update i really like this game on console i haven't experienced bug's or glitches the ui was hard as hell after a week it was fine to get used to it seems like most of the problems are on pc i hate the cross play with pc players im getting destroyed and killed from so far away with a mid range rifle with no scope i couldn't even see the person that killed me theres Cheaters in the game that's the real problem this game has since I've been playing
bro chill, drink some water
ive been playing hunt since 2020 and i enjoy the game the most rn, your point is invalid, sry bro, ur just mad about some changes that i admit were not good, but the game it self is getting better and more fun when it comes to gameplay and mechanics. you dont even know when the game came out and yet ur talking about issues like bugs etc (i havent really encountered mutch since i started plaing) without any footage supporting your claims. The game is not dying look at steam charts since release the game has a steady increse of players with every update. pls use facts a show the bugs ur talking about, everything i got from this video is that you are mad and cant get your point across
You must have low kd as all my 6 star mates have left the game as every noon runs round with anything explosive and crag silencers 😂
@ im a 5* 1,13 kd 1400 hours played
@ also correct me if im wrong but 6* is the elo where everyone runs long ammo and dolch whats wrong with having fun
The ui is fine you are mad my friend , maybe try to use your brain
Complaining about the UI now is irrelevant, it works perfectly fine now that we are used to it. It literally takes 10 seconds from the end of a game to make my stuff for my new hunter and be ready for the next game. It’s not even a problem anymore, go with it. Bugs are in all multiplayer video games, even solo games (Hi Bethesda, hi Ubisoft) and it is hard to keep a small community multiplayer game alive when you have so much to do as a small team so ofc they have to sell DLC and battle pass to survive with what the Video Game market is today. This video is just a kid crying cause time passes. Sad man, leave Hunt if tou cant bear change, sad tho… The game is not ruined, it is in its best state since it launched actually 😅 Launch a multiplayer game on your own and see how it goes man… Embrace reality instead of crying without giving solutions man. To end this comment, if early players are leaving the game, it’s not because of what it is today for the most part but because, they want to play something else than hunt after all these years 😂 Aight stay safe and stop crying on the internet man, ✌️
I done 6k hours and game was golden but since new map and ui change it’s so bad to play slow fps .these new weapons everyone has crag silencer overpowered and silent or these new weapons from the circus is a joke.
Maybe outdated rig? Cuz im completly fine running 200-240 fps on 1440p with high graphics..
@@elmoe7318I got 2080ti used to get 140 fps high settings 1440. Ow I’m lucky to to get 110 fps medium settings 😂 and high settings I get 30fps now
@ What about your cpu. The game is cpu heavy mostly. Perfect match for hunt is ryzen 7800x3d due to its high L3 cache. I have Ryzen 7 9800x3d and can't say nothing bad about it, its perfect and i dont drop a single fps..
@ I got an i9 overclocked to 5g :(
@ i7 and i9's 13. and 14. gen are absolute pile of dogshit cpus.. talking from my own experience, i had i7 14700k for 2 years and i kept getting stutters and fps drops like crazy in hunt.. month ago i switched to Ryzen 7 9800x3d and it was the best decision, hunt is smooth as butter and other games are running flawlessly
lmao what till you discover destiny2, youd be even more pissed at what they've done
Game is brilliant ,something difrent than battleroyal . I stop playing warzone hunt is the way forward
It was better in the past.
You could never know what you missed
Nothing is wrong with hunt showdown.
What a rubbish video. Basically not happy with the UI. 😂
The biases in the comments shows. Rubbish? Check player count. I played for free thru gamepass, 3 games in I’m against prestige 10s? That tells me there’s not many players playing. You’re a minority defending this game.
Idk man I am new to the game so I never experienced what is was like in the past but I love the game it’s so unique wish I would’ve got into it sooner but I got no complaints 🔥🔥🔥
As you shouldn’t this guys just being a cry baby
u spitting facts
Lol stopped watching after 2 mins. Realized you have no clue what you're talking about. This is all subjective opinion
Don't know huh?
Here you go then th-cam.com/video/FdPgaDZbpJY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=20uJ1TXOK8seTFdX
True Story
Crybaby video, no valid criticism at all.
We are just gonna keep enjoying the game more with less crybaby players around. 😂
UI is shit, yes.
But what can you do? Just stop crying and adapt to it, now i can recruit infinitely faster.
You dont wanna? Ok, just quit the game and keep crying i guess?
People are quitting.
LOL
Yea I quit.
alot of complaining, alot of nagging, not alot of explenation nor substantiation. U are ranting about crytek ruining everything without giving a single example of what ruins the experience for you. I agree to a certain degree: the UI is atrocious and like every game, it has its bugs. However, the dev team is actually trying to produce new content in the form of maps, events, new AI, new weapons, traits and so on. They are very transparent on what they are working on for the future and how they will suffice. U are just blatantly talking about them ruining everything and making everything worse. I have to say: if ur only seeing the negative side of Hunt, maybe stop playing or get a lil positive.
Wasn't the old UI a bunch of grey boxes? I think this one is much better looks wise and actually stylistically fits with the game.
we got santa, killmonger, george flyod, ghoust face, and now post malone
george floyd?
@@bucketeerbill7646 the gun runner, looks like him
try cs2
I tried playing this game, but after 15 hours i couldn't get used to the needlessly off center crosshair and it triggered the fuck out of my OCD. Cool concept, unfortunately not the game for me. No idea why this game is now recommended to me tho. But algorithm gonna algorithm
You can center the crosshair in the settings.
After the 1896 update you can now play with an centered cross hair.
Okay I get the UI, you were used to one UI and then they changed it and you don't know anything again but I get the change because the previous UI was hideous, now it at least has the games style. Also the UI looks to be made to be console compatible so PC players might have a harder time going through it.
Bugs and glitches? What bugs and glitches? I haven't played the game that long but thus far I haven't encountered a game breaking bug. You were talking about bugs and how they make more bugs with new updates for 1 minute and 36 seconds and haven't named one bug.
Again talking about updates that ruin the game but you don't name any updates or changes that ruined the game for you. And the concept of the game seems perfectly fine to me, I have no idea what you're talking about.
Like I don't really have a problem with the video and people are entitled to have their own opinions but the thing is, that you haven't really addressed any issues with the game just said why you don't like to play it anymore.
i have been playing since beta 2017, its hilarious as the moment Fifiled joined the dev team this game went straight to Call of duty fast lane :D.. this game tries to be so fucking mainstream its losing the unique identity :D
Game dev try to release a good extraction shooter and not unplayable slop challenge (impossible)
