I see now that Hunt really is broken

[Risk Management]

I've played Hunt since day 1, almost exclusively, and always stood up for the devs since it's such a unique game and I wanted to see it succeed. I'm not a huge gamer, so I never really had anything to compare it to. I picked up Helldivers 2 for Xmas and it immediately showed me how broken Hunt is. From the disaster of a menu to the long wait times, it just doesn't feel anywhere near as polished as it should be.

Maybe Helldivers also has issues that I haven't seen yet, but so far I've just had a bunch of mindless fun. The core mechanics of Hunt will always hold a place in my heart, but I just can't justify dealing with the issues when there's other games that I can go in and out of, spend less time waiting and more time having fun.

I'm not sure what the future holds for Hunt, but it saddens me to say I'm giving it a rest for a while. I couldn't even be bothered finishing the event for the first time ever.

Hunts quality has dipped in some areas. The UI is the WORST offender. I hope the guy who designed it got fired and his family sold to Uganda or something.

Because you REALLY need TRY to make that bad of an UI.

It reminds me of Grandma's fridge. Sh!t plastered everywhere and only a fraction of it is important.

It's been going down hill since 1896 update. I still enjoy it, but it's getting harder and harder to enjoy. The game is in a bad state and instead of fixing it Crytek keeps adding more broken stuff to the already huge pile.

I don't like the new weapons further screwing up balance.

Performance is still ass and is one of the biggest gripes I have with Hunt currently. It's mostly the same since launch minus map crashes and dark sight stutter.

No ping limit (no 225 or whatever it is now doesn't count) so getting shot behind cover is still a thing.

Trades still happen consistently in cqb. This makes playing shotguns annoying.

Every event there's op pact that makes other choices redundant. Even worse now that even traits bleed into the main game, like Surefoot and Lightfoot making solo footsteps quiet. I play solo too and I despise this change. Sound is so important in Hunt and to remove sound ques should be a crime.

Broken promises in regards to engine update in general. The game feels half baked and unfinished, no wonder new players don't stick around for long.

I could go on for hours, but there's no point beating a dead horse. It's all been mentioned before. I wish another game able to scratch that Hunt itch releases at some point and then I'm gone. Hunger looks promising, but it's too early to tell, we'll see.

Good luck in Helldivers and may it bring you as much joy as Hunt once did!
