    Thanks for watching the video and taking the time to share your thoughts! After reflecting on the feedback, I’d like to address both the positive and critical perspectives.
    Game development is an ongoing process, and I appreciate those who recognize that it takes time to address issues while staying patient as fixes are rolled out. I understand the frustrations voiced by others who focus on the game's shortcomings and express their disappointment more loudly, often through negative reviews and reactions.
    That said, this video represents my personal experience and opinion. Hunt: Showdown is a unique shooter that stands out for its slower, more strategic gameplay, which might appeal to those looking for something different from the usual fast-paced shooters. While there are occasional technical hiccups-such as dropped frames or UI abomination-the overall experience remains deeply engaging. Instances of cheating, though rare, can understandably be frustrating, but I believe it’s important not to let such negative encounters overshadow the enjoyment the game offers.
    Thanks again for engaging with the video, and I hope you continue to find what makes Hunt: Showdown such a distinct and rewarding experience.

    Sound, as a soloplayer, really is my greatest asset.
    My first action is always to collect the surefoot perk, and also i take the perk that prevents wild animals from triggering.
    Happened soo often that i ran to some random place and suddenly hear crows right next to me, knowing i cant trigger them.

    tl;dr hunt is still in beta
    hunt is in fact - theoretically - a great game,
    BUT
    kill trade window is long, almost neglecting any skill differences - which simply means no matter how good you are, if your opponent shoots you a second after you kill him - he still kills you aswell,
    maps are bugged, textures are bugged, fps drops are nothing out of the ordinary.
    The game rewards you for passive playing - basically sitting and not moving is a powerplay and it sucks.
    Also there are a lot of ping abusers, because hunt responsiveness is highly on the side of your game client and not the server, so when a chinesee man peeks you - you see him and 10ms later you are dead.

      The trading thing is annoying. I usually play duo or trio, so it’s not as bad as playing solo and trading.
      As far as the ping abusing goes, I max out at 4 stars so I just assume everyone is better than me. Especially because I play in almost entirely 5-6 star lobbies with my friend. But I’ve had a few that were really noticeable. This is similar to the finals as well. I still enjoy both games.
      I think this is a part of non region locked games, and hopefully devs find a way to address it.
      If someone wants to cheat or ping abuse, I can’t do anything about it but feel sorry for them. I’m definitely not going to let their sad existence keep me from queuing up for the next game tho

      @@threshious crytek devs are good at shitting out new skins and releasing the same event under new name over and over again, the problems ive recalled higher are only the tip of hunts problems iceberg.
      But honestly, hunt's team is low in numbers so all of the above are understandable, it simply hurts that the game design is polluted by its spaghetti code and poor management system that leads to bad decision making.

      trades happen a lot less now. like A LOT.
      maps bugged and textures bugged I dont know what you are talking about or its too minor to take in consideration for a guy not looking to find negatives.
      passive playing? false. every player that is "good" at this game, NEVER stay still &/or camp, NEVER, you can look it yourself in content creator youtube channels. you have plenty of tools to know if a player is nearby, and then play accoringly. it takes 0.1 second to strafe in and out of a corner/wall/door to trigger a camper potential shot, and then they are exposed af. camping is something I literally never see. the only time I see someone crawling slowly trough the map and standing still are 1-3 stars that are too afraid to play.
      ping abusers never seen them in my server.

      @Botchulaz7 2 місяці тому

      I think first and foremost, this game is hard. A lot of people don’t like that so they complain about things that are out of their control to mask their skill. Things like “ping abuse” that’s not a thing. Crytec doesn’t use Peer to Peer matchmaking. That has been dead in online shooters since 2011.
      This game also shouldn’t be looked at under the same scope you would look at CoD or Apex. It’s not supposed to be a fast paced, twitch shooter with crazy movement. Each action is supposed to be deliberate.

      @@DoctorWhoBlue it’s absolutely gotten worse and I’m not a guy who bitches, moans and nitpicks every flaw. There’s a great video explaining exactly why too. Essentially they wanted to avoid the appearance of ghost bullets so if another player’s game registers you getting hit within 800ms then it will register on the client and can result in you dying long after you have killed the other player. I would rather have the appearance of ghost bullets and a hard reduction on that 800ms window.

    14:20 you don’t have to unlock the special ammo, just the variants.
    Edit: and right after that you talk about shared weapon XP but that was also removed not too long ago (sometime before the new map) you share xp from what you kill (hunters, AI and bosses) but sadly if you are both using a sparks and one of you finish the boss with it, only that person will get weapon progression towards the sparks while the team mates will receive XP normally to hunter.

    I have a little over 1k hours into hunt. Balance wise, its in one of if not the worst spot the game has ever been in. Burn speed, hit registration, trade windows, and overtuned weapons/equipment are all really sucking the fun out of the game rn. Imo it would probably be best for new players to wait for some balancing patches before diving in.

      Dude I don’t disagree with your critiques but the logic of new players waiting for balance patches makes NO sense. New players are the most likely to adapt to the current meta and accept it and be fine with it. Where they’re jumping in right now would be their baseline and then better balancing would be an improvement from their perspective. They aren’t going to incorporate your retroactive opinion on the game as newcomers and choose to enjoy it less based on the way it used to be balanced.

    This game is amazing and does not deserve the review bombs. Sure the UI is not great, but surely people don’t play a game because its UI is the best UI? I honestly don’t spend much time in the UI menus, I just load up get straight into matches as fast as I can so I can squeeze in as many matches as possible, because the gameplay isn’t is so bloody good.
    The game is not a full price game and the monetisation is there because the company has to make money in order to keep working, you don’t have to buy any of their dlc to play, but it’s there to help the company stay in business.

      cringe... this game not having lots of looting is the best part. in tarkov for example you are staring at a dude's backpack while you are "searching and looting"... lmao, 5 minutes per match watching a blank screen going "searching" lmao. you have a mission in this game, to kill a monster, other players are trying to do that too, you can pick other players guns, if its better or you like it more, and extract with it. you can also find envelopes in the map that give you money, exp or trait points. but the biggest rewards is extracting with bounty, that gives you money wich you use to build your character how you like. this game is more "skill" focused, rather than "gear" focused like those other crap extraction games. having good gear and traits gives you an edge, but still, a new hunter with a 10 dollar revolver can 1 tap you. im sorry you can loot an impenetrable helmet.

    Honestly juat seeing the title of this vid made me laught. The best time to play hu t was a few years back before the 800ms trade windows, before the change to client side instead of server side, before crytech prioritised skins over game health and stability, before the poor performence issues witch caused some with really high end rich boy pc's to lower their graphics just to atill experience frame drops and graphical bugs. Honestly i k ow that when you are new to Hunt you don't really notice these things and the game seems really amazing to you. And i agree its a reaaaaly fcking awesome game but its haunted by an uncountable amount of problems and the devs sadly don't seem to fix them. There are bugs in this game that exist till the launch of the game some are funny and some are not. They should sacrifice some time to really heal the game and repair all the damages instead of pushi g out skins and batle pass events who are juat (in some way) reskins of older events. If they actually repair all this i am sure that a lot of players new and olde who left the game will come back.

Performance, server, hitreg, ping limit, and those are just the superficial issues that have little to do with the core gameplay. Also, I specifically disagree with Hunt not holding any hands. It holds plenty of hands. The hardcore aspects have been massively watered down over the past two years.
