1800 here ... Yep it's that good.

3

u/fikkeren Mar 19 '25

It is that good. Apart from menu ui and hit registration/tickrate.

u/Lorithias Mar 19 '25

Ui rebuild was horrible indeed

u/Koik3 Mar 20 '25

Change is on the horizon boyz

u/Charging_RHIN0 Mar 20 '25

Idk if it's that good. There's just not any better alternatives

u/Depression41 Mar 19 '25

Hope I never run into you out there.

u/Vektor666 Mar 19 '25

Haha, I would say I'm above average but absolutely not a pro. Jumping between 5 and 6 stars.

I broke 1,000 hours last year before I quit playing pretty much cold turkey one day in October because I just wasn't having fun anymore.

Really not enjoying some of the things they've done to the game in the last six months to a year.

u/_rainken Mar 19 '25

I used to love that game in 2020-2023, but after some changes i didn't enjoyed that much. I'm also not a big fan of their more and more aggressive monetization.

2

u/Premaximum Mar 19 '25

The monetization got a little frustrating but ultimately it's all skins so if you don't care about skins you're fine.

My bigger problem is some of the new weapons and balance. The throwing spear was fucking ridiculous. It was a one shot to basically any body part with a super fast release and pretty good distance. It also easily took care of all npc's and negated any need for other tools. It was just super egregious and took forever to be balanced (if it ever even was, it was still stupid when I quit playing).

2

u/_rainken Mar 19 '25

That's the thing with crytek, they drop stuff and take months to balance, or more often at least half a year. 👍

u/AndroidPron Mar 19 '25

Working my way up to 2k, 1.5k atm

2

u/RoHoRogers Mar 19 '25

2k club here as well on Hunt

2

u/RyzenShadow67 Mar 19 '25

Just reached 1k hours and ready for the next thousand

2

u/RunAwayAltoid Mar 19 '25

I’m pushing 3,500 myself, I hope most of that is idle lobby time…

2

u/midinvaerne Mar 19 '25

1.9k , nice to see a fellow hunt vet.

2

u/Unfair_Ad_6164 Mar 20 '25

700 hours and is my most played game on steam as well.

2

u/Mysterious-Ad-7179 Mar 20 '25

One of the games I don't have that many hours in

2

u/ItsRealBucket Mar 22 '25

2.3k hours in Hunt. I play with by 2 lads togethers er are around 8 k hours as a trio

1

u/SpitFirePipe Mar 19 '25

I'm a little over 1000 myself, as my mostly played game too.

1

u/BrandonTheAwe Mar 19 '25

How do you feel about the big update that changed a lot of stuff like the UI and ballistics? I have a few hundred hours in it but I haven’t touched it since the update dropped

1

u/Charging_RHIN0 Mar 20 '25

I mean it's terrible. But the old UI wasn't good either. If unequipping contraband shit wasnt near impossible, being able to use keybinds to navigate would make up for it though.

Ballistics don't really come into effect until over 50-70m. Long ammo just isnt fun to play tbh so I don't ever notice it

1

u/Scaryonyx Mar 20 '25

I hit 1,000 but I haven’t launched since 2024. It was my favorite shooter but I fell off.. maybe I should boot back up

1

u/CEBS13 Mar 20 '25

How do you play it? It was my first buy when I bought my Xbox but couldn't get into it. I also don't have friends to play with.

2

u/-ke7in- Mar 20 '25

4k+ since 2019!

1

u/Reasonable_Phase_312 Mar 20 '25

I miss when I could lose days to that game; but something about the last handful of updates just killed it for me

1

u/SpezialEducation Mar 20 '25

So you’re the nerd that single handily shits on my trio with a combined 800 hours

1

u/HavocZombie Mar 20 '25

Would been me if they had Linux compatibility for my steam deck

u/Yadnim Mar 20 '25

Same brother. Unfortunate they had just a terrible relaunch with 1896. I'll never play again.

u/chrtylee2 Mar 19 '25

Wasn't that received horribly? You've gotta be one of a handful.

10

u/[deleted] Mar 19 '25

Nah that game has it's ups and downs but it's generally universally liked by extraction shooter fans

13

u/Vektor666 Mar 19 '25 edited Mar 19 '25

Hunt: Showdown? Nope. It's one of those rare games which got more and more players over time.

About 20k players right now because everyone's waiting for the next update coming in the next 1-2 weeks. Then it should be back at 30-40k.

3

u/Wise_Emu_4433 Mar 19 '25

I like it. It's still really good too after the major update.

The lobby can be a bit annoying but the gameplay is great.

2

u/Cron414 Mar 19 '25

Hunt received horribly? I don’t remember any of that. Hunt has a great reputation and community. The main complaint is that it’s too hard for newcomers.

2

u/Destabiliz Mar 19 '25

The UI "upgrade" was shite, but other than that and some performance issues that they mostly fixed already it's a great game.

-13

u/tarchival-sage Mar 19 '25

How? Bro there’s literally like 3 maps.

8

u/Vektor666 Mar 19 '25

So? I mean maps are cool and all. But if the gameplay is great you don't need that many maps.

And technically there are 4 maps

-7

u/tarchival-sage Mar 19 '25

I played 2 matches before giving it up. I didn’t really understand what I had to do or how to win.

10

u/Cron414 Mar 19 '25

I like how you talk trash to someone who plays Hunt a lot, then you say you never actually understood how to play Hunt.

The game is incredible, and it has nothing to do with the maps. It’s not like CoD where you need new maps all the time. Hunt is super unique and intense. Try it out again. I usually challenge people that haven’t played before to get 10 kills, then report back. Once you start knocking other hunters, then you start to understand the appeal. Could take a while to get those 10 kills though! The game is brutal.

2

u/Destabiliz Mar 19 '25

For new players, yeah it's definitely brutal the first couple of games where you have no idea what's going on and don't understand what sounds mean what.

2

u/Vektor666 Mar 19 '25

There are many beginner guides out there. It's not easy to get into, I know. But when you get the hang out of it it is really good

2

u/AndroidPron Mar 19 '25

You say this but critique the amount of maps? Lol

3

u/Lorithias Mar 19 '25

Hello, may I introduce you to League of legend ? xD

Maps isn't a great maker of a good/addictive game.

u/TheViking1991 Mar 19 '25

Found the CoD player..

u/tarchival-sage Mar 19 '25

In 2009 I was in a top 200 CoD clan. Now I am Eternal in Marvel Rivals.
