Hunt Showdown is a cruel place

a game wich forces you to kill monsters in order to claim their bounty, of course there is a little catch to it. There are other humans or more precicly other Hunters who will try to take the bounty away from you...wich means.....well they most probably will try to kill you during so. I always had a dream, to once meet people there that wont shoot but rather talk with me and even be friends with me. At some point I gave up looking for them. Today 26.01.2020 I found a 3 man group in Hunt. At first they tried to kill me, cornered me......but they didnt do it. I started speaking to them: "Hey you guys, i`ve got an Idea. How about you take one bounty and leave so nobody gets hurt." Silence...... but then....... He answerd: " sure, but how can I trust you?" I repled: "You can`t"....... The conversation goes on about trust issues and stuff but in the end one of them decided to come near with no weapon. He said that they are trusting me so they only send one unarmed person. I showed him the Bounty and he took it. I was...........very supriced .......noone ever was friendly to me......... He asked me where he could safely leave me again. (we were in a cave just so you know) I showed him the exit. As he saw the exit he looked at me and said: "Thanks" my heart was pounding. I didnt know if he would fuck me over or just leave after all. I was happy and kinda sad. As he turned and took his first step towards the exit.......... I shot him in the head. I killed him. I have no excuses. Hunt Showdown is a cruel place....

Alright so this was my second experience in the game and I can say it was one of the most epic, intense and emotional rollerocasters I have ever experienced in a game. I will split this in two parts, BOSS RUN and EXTRACTION --PART 1 -- BOSS RUN --- > launch spider mission in the night with a random partner > get matched with a dude who didn't have a mic and was just nodding his yes/no answer > start the game pretty slowly > since it's night we are extra sneaky > find first two clues > everythingisokaysofar.jpeg > find third clue, have small gunfight with players who eventually disappear > after third clue we make our way to the boss > we hear gunshots in the distance > oh shit "we need to kill them after they got the boss for us" - say I to my mute friend > he nods his head in argeement > get close to boss walking on a makeshift plank-bridge above the swamp, and tensions are already building up > as soon as we can see the boss room, the last gunfire echoes from the boss chambers and everything goes silent > only creepy music in the background > "this might be a trap" - I tell my friend > as soon as I look him in the eyes he gets shot and falls down in the swamp > OHSHITOHSHIT.webm > I jump down, go to beneath the boss room and hide in a corner for some time > should I evacuate or should I revive my buddy? > spend the next 5 minutes contemplating > I can't just leave him hanging. > I wait for a few minutes, so they don't camp his body anymore and I run to him to get him up > manage to revive him as we both now hide in a corner > "okay, we can fight the boss or haul ass - it's your call" - say I to my friend > he takes some time to think this over > in the end he nods his head in an ecstatic manner pointing up to the boss room > we climb up the ladder and enter the boss room - the boss is at 30% health > boss spits poison and shit at us, I take out my dynamite stick and with a price bait from my friend, I throw it directly in it's mouth, obliterating the remainder of it's 30% in one shot. > feelsgoodman.tif > begin banishing process, and the next 3 minutes are the longest in existance > just before the boss is banished a guy storms in to steal our bounty > with a set of precisely calculated bait and switch maneuvers we manage to kill him(luckily he was just one guy) ---PART 2 --- EXTRACTION --- >as the boss completes banishing I collect our bounty and call my friend " GET YOUR F BOUNTY AND LETS GET THE F OUT OF HERE" - say I while hearing gunshots in the distance > we take it, open the second floor door and jump down the river, not looking behind us > "oh shit we made it" - say I while taking a breather. My friend nods his head in approval. I look at the map to discover the nearest extraction point some 500 - 1000 meters from us. > "okay we need to circle around it" - and we spend 10 minutes going around to evade campers, but as soon as we approach the point we get shot upon > "RUN RUN RUN" - I scream at him while struggling to zig zag in the swamp which slows your movement speed down > I hear people shooting at us and bullets darting near my head > we manage to double back to near the boss room > "the only plan now is to go across the entire map to the opposite side and take that point, it's too risky here" > the next 20 minutes were spent avoiding rabid dogs, not startling the crows and killing some minor zombos while always paranoic that someone might shoot us in the back of the head >my mute buddy was always there by my side, looking out for me > each time I turn around he had my back > we would check corners, cover each other and generally became best buddies over the course of the game > as we reach the extraction point, I see the horses there, and the next 10 steps to the location give me the most notorious feel of relief - "WE MADE IT" - I scream - "NO ONE IS HERE, SURELY NO ONE DARTED ACROSS THE ENTIRE MAP JUST TO CAMP HERE" > countdown timer begins >20 seconds > 10 seconds > I see my buddy getting anxious, as he can taste the sweet deserved victory closing on us > my teammate cautiously waits behind some boxes, while I run around - "good game my friend, we did good we m..." > at the 5th second I hear a shot and I fall flat on my back as I see the horse carriage right above me > OHGODNO.flac > I hear gunshots as I see the distance from my friend is increasing - 5 meters, 10 meters, 20 meters." > sigh and lean back on my chair - "that was it, he's gonna die, it was all for nothing" - I think to myself as I keep hearing gunshots in the distance > "hes probably going to abandon me and take his loot, thats what i'd do" > as I lay there contemplating whether or not I should leave the game, suddenly the gunshots stop, as I see the distance from my friend closing > coulditbe?.jpg.jpeg > friend hovers over my body reviving me from underneath the horse carriage, I immediately pull out my syrenge as he takes cover and starts shooting covering shots towards the forest where we got shot from > I start zigzaging around as I heal myself - "THANK YOU FRIEND" - I shout in the mic while healing > 10 seconds > I HOPE THEY DONT SHOOT ME AGAIN > "YOU DIDN'T LEAVE ME BEHIND" - I scream in the mic > 3 seconds > "I HOPE WE MEET AGAIN MY FRIEND" - I say while the last covering shots echo out > 1 second > You live to die another day text comes up > WE MADE IT WE ACTUALLY MADE IT > It seems actions do speak louder than words I tried looking for him in "recently played" but seems the game doesn't support this as of yet. Thank you for comming back to get me mute friend, risking your life for me, I hope to see you again some day!

Bought this hoping for something a bit less stressful than Escape From Tarkov... nope

Just killed my first enemy Hunter. Great experience.

I just finished the tutorial. So far, a great game.

As I see it, it boils down to 12 players rushing to kill a monster and take its bounty. But then some players realised that they will let others do the job, kill them and take the bounty. So they wait outside patiently. So I decided to be smart and that I will wait even farther outside, even more patiently. I thought I was going to succeed. But it turns out there is a bunch of players waiting even more patiently even more farther outside!

Before I played this i had a small penis, no girlfriend and no will to live. None of these things have changed, but the game is pretty good tho

Pros - You get to Yee-Haw Cons - You get Yee-Hawed 8.5 / 10 - Too much water Edit: After further patching of my torn denim, it seems that the Yee-Haw has intensified. 10/10 - Just the right amount of water.

> is lvl 5 hoonter mucking about in the bayou with a kind stranger > think VOIP speak is only between teammates > blurt out "I think the butcher is right up ahead" > two voices I dont recognize say "who the fuck said that?!" > commence impromptu gun fight that reminds me of a Trailer Park Boy's shootout > nobody landed any shots, all wiffs > end it with a good ol' fashioned knife fight 11/10 need to play moar

Pretty decent, tried it for a couple of hours.

this game gives ample oppurtunities to say things like "this is my swamp" "yeah, it's back the way you came" "Not the bees!" "im gonna throw a lamp at it" all of which are things i dont regularly get to say, so thank you hunt. Good game 10/10

Nobody's gonna read this review, so I'll just say I'm gay

This game is brought to you and sponsored by the Louisiana Office of Tourism.

Nobody will read my review, so i'll just say i'm gay

My life is nothing but chilling and unwinding. I enjoy playing Hunt to get stressed out and have anxiety.

10/10 relaxing hunting simulator with lots of different huntable animals, some will also carry weapons. You can choose between three locations with stunning sights to visit, were you can take a walk with your friends through the beautiful forests and investigate the marvelous nature.

Better than Fortnite.

its a good game, but if you pair up with some mong called jordan then prepare to have no help, sets you on fire and calls your mum gay 10/10

hmm hmm hmm hmmmmmm hmm hmm hmm hmmmmmm

I have played the game for nearly 800 hours, and man I am bad at it. But that doesn't keep me from playing, because it's awesome. I have read a lot of complaints about campers, so let me assure you, I am one of those campers. Hunt: Showdown allows for many a play style, like rushing in with a shotgun, duelling with pistols, or sniping from far away. There are at least a dozen weapons which allow a sniper playstyle, so don't complain about it. I have played computer games for nearly 40 years now, I'm 55, and I cannot (and would not want to) compete with the Fortnight Kiddies (like my sons...). So I will continue playing, I will continue sniping, and I will desperately try to push my KD past 0.60 - a task of herculean dimensions. Update: I have to correct myself - I'm not a camper, I'm a sniper. I run around, I follow the bounty carriers, I try to get into a favorable position, and then try to shoot them from a safe distance... but all the time I get shot by the campers. Damn those campers! So now I'll change my tactics: I try to become a close combat killer. I'm fairly certain that this step will halve my already measly KD, but whatever, as long as it's fun...

The Good: The PVP in this game is truly addicting The level of dopamine released in the ventral striatum when succeeding a team wipe is comparable to psychostimulant drugs. The Bad: The difficulty of the game is like anal Hard and painful, but you'll get used to it. 10/10 would recommend

The game is great. The sound design itself would make this a spectacular title. Gunplay is fun and varied, especially with the introduction of custom ammo. Level designs are interesting and really make you feel like you're in the setting from the time period to the effects of the malady the AHA is attempting to deal with. Unfortunately the game is getting attention, the kind that grows a playerbase. The kind of playerbase that loves to spend additional money on cheat programs. I've spectated entirely too many people in the past week who track targets perfectly through walls they have no vision through. Swapping from their primary weapon to another piece of gear, to immediately swap back and have their gun fully loaded. That is, when they decide to not make it -too- blatant by continuing to fire while their loaded ammo shows 0. Before, yeah there was some suspect play. I've seen videos of people using things to kill players from 700+ meters with dual handguns, hip fired, through all terrain and obstacles on the map. For whatever reason with the most recent patch, players who do that kind of nonsense have come out of the woodwork and its sad they have to stoop to such levels to validate their parents decision to not abort.

With the realise of 1.0 the Devs decided to completely change many aspects of the game. One of the initial biggest attractions for many people to Hunt was the fact that the game had a dark, gritty look which was also echoed in the tough, unforgiving nature of the game. It was a slow, tactical game which could burst into action at any moment, whether it be PvP action or you just accidentally wandered in to the middle of a pack of Hellhounds and the resulting noise attracted everything in the vicinity. Unfortunately 1.0 changes a lot of these The graphics are nowhere near as clear or consistent as they were at launch, they have upped the lighting to the point where the once pitch black night is not dark at all. They have reduced the LOD so much that texture pop-ins happen all the time, this is really off putting in a stealth game when you are looking for enemies in the distance in trees/bushes. Up until 1.0 aiming in Hunt was a two step process, One button to bring your gun up into hipfire stance then another button press to bring you into ADS stance. This, along with some pretty severe weapon sway meant that gunfights in Hunt used to require a great deal of skill. Even people with incredible aim couldn't just one tap everyone from anywhere. It meant fights on average lasted longer than other FPS games and this required players to be more than just a 'Good Shot' in engagements, flanking, retreating and re-engaging, using decoys or even triggering AI to help you win fights all happened frequently. However the introduction of 'Gunslinger' mode allows players to bypass the two stage aiming system, with Gunslinger the player is always in hipfire stance, meaning they have an advantage on anyone not using Gunslinger as they only have to press one button to shoot instead of two, and although the Devs claim there is a disadvantage to using Gunslinger I have yet to see where any disadvantage lies. The removal of the weapon sway has meant that anyone with halfway decent aim can get headshots quite easily, both of these changes have reduced the skill ceiling whilst also reducing the average length of gunfights which in turn has seen a reduction in the need to flank etc. This has imo made the game a little boring. If I wanted insanely accurate guns and fast gunfights I wouldn't be playing a game like Hunt as there are so many other games that allow me to play that way easier and with more enjoyment and variance. They also decided to add a 3d pinging system, it feels so out of place in the game it's ridiculous. I realise they wanted a way for random teams to communicate without using in game VOIP but instead of having the mark only appear on the compass they make it 3d, reducing a huge skill in the game which was being able to quickly and accurately describe the location of an enemy. As far as I'm concerned the Devs have spent over a year and a half making a game that caters to the audience that initially bought the game and supported it an audience that loved the slow paced, stealth and tactical heavy requirements, only for them to turn around and slap those supporters in the face by springing a dumbed down, easier to play and more accessible to the average player version of the game just before full launch. It reeks of a lack of confidence in the original concept and gameplay and stinks of a company who are struggling financially screwing over those that where there when needed in order to chase that mainstream cash. I've been eagerly awaiting the full release of this game for nearly 2 years and I couldn't be more disappointed in the outcome. Edit to add: I didn't realise that 1.0 increased the price to £36 for the little content in this game (two maps, 3 Bosses) it really isn't worth it with that price point.
