[Digital Foundry] Inside Hunt: Showdown 1896 - The CryEngine Evolves - Crytek Developer Interview
This game has such a fun premise, and the atmosphere is incredible. I wish I had enough free time to really get good at it.
It's also fun as hell to play but yea working your way into playing well is difficult and requires a bit of time. The downtime between shots is simultaneously the best and most stressful part of the game.
But if you ever do get the chance, remember that the low tier guns arent the best but if you're even decent with them you'll never have a problem. Also melee is fire!!!
Oh I still have fun playing it when I can! But it's more of a desperate attempt at survival and less a strategic hunt for the bounty and skilled firefight with enemies. I wish this existed back when I was in college and had more free time to play and friends available to co-op with. I'm so anxious about letting down teammates I'm matched with online.
Is this game still a shit show? Last time I checked it was overwhelmingly negative
wasn't this the update that caused a mass review bombing?
Yes, because people got pissy about the menu UI. It’s really not great and needs rework, but not enough to review bomb like it is right now. Globally, the game is really better with the new engine even if there are stuff to be fixed still.
How was that even an upgrade, they removed 2 maps, tanked the performance, increased the matchmaking time tenfold, reduced server performance, screwed up the ranking system, increased skin prices and introduced countless new bugs and crashes. If anything this was a huge downgrade.
They should've left Hunt the way it is and released Hunt 2, but they didn't have the balls because they knew nobody would play that shit. I guess releasing good old fashioned sequels to multiplayer games is bad for business, especially if you're such an incompetent dev. No, the new school way is to shitify you game in the name of a next gen update, and straight up deny everybody the ability to play the old version, see Overwatch, CS:GO, Squad, Warzone and now Hunt.
And don't come at me for saying Crytek is incompetent. Incompetent is the most polite thing they can be called. What they'be done is straight up malicious. You know how I know? Because you could sit me down, 8 hours a day 5 days a week, and my whole job for months would be nothing but to come up with the most dogshit UI possible, and I couldn't even come close to what they've decided to release. They must've had a whole TEAM of "experts" working 24/7 on that.
I swear I wish Steam would introduce a new rule. 2 hour refund window resets after every major parch, just to put the devs and publishers on a leash, when it comes to fucking up the product people have already paid for.
