Not nearly as bad as I thought (as in you can still get games going), but for a full price game it's still a laughing stock.

Hi, I'm nortonff. I spend my life going into threads to say that I don't care about the topic of the thread. It's a really good use of my time.
Embarassing numbers.

Man, was holding out for the F2P route.
Think they were absolutely onto something, hope they can make more of it.

It's a 2015 edition. So they're re-releasing it the same year it launched.

Such a mishandling of an IP. Sad.
Though I've never played the game, I think that the concept is pretty cool. I tried watching some matches but its hard to root for anyone as theres not really a terrible amount of strategy. Imagine if Valve tried to push Left 4 Dead as a competitive multiplayer game.

Was this game really trash? I did not play it, but I tought impressions on release were quite decent. I thought the game died quick, because it was low on content and had this expensive DLC policy.
The game was released this year and this edition will release in a month. It's not so unusual for publishers to charge full price for an ultimate version with all the DLC.

Not nearly as bad as your thought?
They are trending sub 1000 players per hour.
That's like, amazingly horrible.

And only twice the amount of abusive DLC.
It was decently received, but ultimately turned bitter to most people by its DLC structure, lack of content, and I'd like to think in no small part thanks to the daft way DLC was announced in the first place; First by announcing pre-order content before the game was even shown, and then finally by releasing this kind of ridiculous, presumptuous piece of PR when announcing DLC plans:

The game looks amazing but the community looks dead. I like asynchronous multiplayer... I want this to work.
Does this shave off all of the F2P elements that don't belong in full price games? If this Ultimate Edition just includes it all then maybe this could revive it!

Wow, that couldn't sound any more like an infomercial even if they listed the price as "three easy payments of $19.99"

I have no interest in this game but some of you seem to take some strange pleasure in seeing it "fail."

People called Romanes they go the house?
Oh, I remember that 'Behemoth for free' pre-order tactic.
Absolutely terrible.
Don't even see this charting, at any rate.

Played one match of beta. Spent 5 minutes attacking the monster and 25 minutes running around trying to catch it. Terrible game. How someone thought it was a good idea to release it is beyond me.

It had some very shitty practices that amounted to "pay to pay," tons of people were hoping it would fail so it wouldn't cause a poor precedent in the industry.

Some people will just buy any FPS....this game had flop written all over it.
Probably due to the DLC schemes.

My Xbox is telling me I have spent 474 hours playing this game. I think a portion of that must be in sleep mode or something, but I know I have nearly 300 hours played just as Goliath.
I would not recommend this game to anyone, really. At launch it was awesome, except for bugs and glitches. Stupid, needlessly misleading DLC chart aside, the games main problem is the devs tweaked the games meta way too much and never for the better. Now is a very shitty time to jump in. Vanilla hunt matchmaking has been replaced by Hunt 2.0, which takes FOREVERRRRRRRRRRRRR to find a match compared to vanilla Hunt, and has your normal ranked mode issues like people quitting because they don't get what they want or are losing, disconnects and no one can join in to replace them, people raging at bad players, etc etc.
I don't really blame the media for falling in love with the game the way they did. Played in short bursts with other players unfamiliar to its mechanics in a small social setting (all in the same room), I would imagine the game was amazing. But in reality it just didn't work out that way, which is probably why the pre-release buzz and metascore don't line up.
The funniest part about this (if the price is real) is that the DLC isn't even out yet. The first hunting pass and 4th monster are out. But the second hunting pass has only seen two of the four hunters released. Neither of the other two hunters or the monster have even been revealed let alone released. In fact in the fine print on the second hunting pass they only guarantee the content will release before like May 2016 or something LOL. I guess maybe this at least confirms the DLC should arrive before November 2nd.
Oh yeah, the game still has glitches and bugs that were present in the alpha, and beta. Glitches that badly fuck up the poster child monster Goliath and make him virtually worthless in high level play. And they have the nerve to pull this bullshit. LOL.

There was cosmetic DLC available day one, and a preorder bonus. People really made way too big a deal about the games "DLC schemes".

Are they really happy with ~10 play sessions / purchase? Doesn't seem like something you would want to accentuate

Monster DLC?
2.5 million units. 27 million sessions.
That's 10.8 sessions per unit.
That seems... low. I played more than 11 sessions during the beta.
I assume each match is a session, rather than each series of matches, but even so, booting up a 60 dollar game less than a dozen times feels pretty sad.

Amazing. The game has been $12 used at gamefly and $20 new multiple times, the population is a wasteland, and they think it'd be good to rerelease it for $60???
At $30 even I would have jumped in. I liked the game from the rental i played but man, at $20 this game would be a no brainer.
