Disappointed in HTS2 -- Wanted to discuss about it

[Robert Garcia]

Hi everyone. I dont actually have HTS2 for pc, i played both the first and the second on PS4, but i wanted to find a community to discuss this game a bit. I completely loved the first one and played trough it in 3 days non stop, but the sequel actually disapointed me. So i wanted to share a few toughts about it, and actually talk a bit about what I wanted HTS2 to be ( was so wrong).


First of all, HTS2 is a good MP Co op game, but its not actually a sequel of HTS1. It plays different, it has changes on some core mechanics that made HTS1 enjoyable and, even though HTS2 tried to be new and inventive, the new stuff does not actually build on top of what made the first be likeable and charming.

So here it goes. How i would like HTS2 to have been, or if we ever see a HTS3, what i wanted to see:

For it to be coiol, it would have to bring elements from the first and second game together focusing its strenghs and fixing their flaws. Here what i tought.

1. Improved Open World Story driven Co Op campaign -- Not the Independent quest system we have on HTS2. I would like to see a single player/co op campaing like HTS1 had that gave us the sense of continuity that the first had. That allied with the superior graphics of HTS2 would be awesome.

2. Survival Routine and Strategy -- Like on the first HTS, we should have methods of foraging on the open world like finding water ponds, cooking, exploring hunting grounds etc. All that would be actually very fun to do in an random generated open world like HTS2 should have been. The current "survival" system of HTS2 that rellies on grinding the same quests until you have what you need its not as fun as just surviving the enviroment. Also, would be cool to have a sleep mechanic, but i understand it may have no place in a MMO like game, but i would prefer to have a CO OP game only tbh.

3. Camp Building and Defense -- Like in HTS2, i actually enjoy the camp building, but i think it should not impact the game advancement so much. It should be a place to craft, store stuff and have a tower defense fun, but the way it limits the characater advancement its not fun at all. I think the game would be much more fun if we had seveal HUB areas where you could build a camp (a small one, actually) and have diferent BIOMES with diferent enemies, diferent hunting grounds and different resources to collect.

4. Independent quests/challenges -- On top of the Co Op open world, we would have the quests much like what we have in HTS2 that would be accessed by the COOP camp. I think we could have a building on the camp that would be an antena or whatever and that would put you in a lobby with other ppl to play online quests -- and that could have timed events, new MP story quests and etc, and would be a cool and fast way to grind resources for weapons and to build your own camp -- kind of like a reverse of what happens in HTS2 right now.

------------------------

That is kind of my toughts on the game. I really think that it would make more sense like that. And i hope that they make HTS3 more like the first one. Let me hear your opinion ppl.

wow! bro too long your discussion

[Robert Garcia]

TLDR; I would like it to be more about Surviving and CO Op, less about grinding and MP quests, with a decent story driven campaign. Also, I want to cook on a fireplace and drink from a well.

=D

Disagree totally OP. H2S2 much better then the original and I'm NOT going to post a 1/2 page rebuttal.

Really, im not saying that it is a bad game. I just was disappointed coming from the first one. It really dropped all i enjoyed about the first, and the new mechanics did not appealed to me. I was expecting to find a story driven game, with random generated landscapes and a continuity of the first storyline, and a lot of what i enjoyed in the first game simply its not in the second. Still, it must be a fun game to play online and all, but its not the experience i was expecting.

they will not add any thing to this game since last update was like 1 year ago
they left this unpublished grind feast garbage in customers hands
story is bad its just missions from random people
better weapons are just (same gun with more dps and other stuff)
this game is about doing same thing for rest of the game after 10 hours

its not fun but atleast I bought it for dirt cheap so ı didnt lose anymoney
