I just checked like 10 users accounts, they dont even own the game, it looks like if you played the beta you can write reviews
Bandwagoning is a thing.

Or perhaps, they just really dislike the things this game is doing?
Nah, must just be a trendy thing to do.
Always take away at least half of the opinions you read on the internet as trolling.

So 90% thumbs down over crappy DLC is trolling?

Half of all opinions or half of the opinions you don't like?

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
Many people for some reason hate online only games. You can look at only GAF and come to this obvious conclusion.

Looking at the Steam reviews it has nothing to do with being online only, but basically the DLC practices and lack of content for the asking price. Couple of the reviews even say the gameplay is good.
I agree that on GAF MP focused games are not popular, but there's no connection here.

Pretty much as expected.
An 8-ish game.

I was watching chef big willy streaming this on xbox last night.
Kept going on about how great it is yet the entire time as the wraith saying how awesome it is and how hes easily the best monster he just found himself running away and never attacked the hunters once, then kept going into the same cave system where they trapped him in and instead of fighting his way out or even trying he just kept running. Then said "credit to the hunters they know what they are doing, respect"
So goddamn boring. like watching people play tag.

Game can be boring, game can be fun. All depends on who is playing and how they are playing.

Isn't the whole game P2P based? And the matchmaking basically HUGELY goes for people in your own region?
Cause I totally get matched up with Germans in every game. Usually ONLY Germans.
If you really think that it is that simple when it comes to a game where the only mode is competitive multiplayer, then you need to get your head checked out.
Tell me where I have to spend money after my initial purchase to keep playing the game

You really should disclose the reason that you're okay with the DLC pricing is because you got the game for $30 on day 1. If you got it for $60 like most players, you'd probably be at least a little peeved at the surprise $3-6 skin DLC.

Played a few hours last night, had a really good time with it.
Excited to play some more tonight.
Guess that means im insane

Once again you are clearly missing the point here. It's not as simple as spending more money for "optional" (I use quotations because in a competitive multiplayer game, you had better buy the other newer characters if you care at all about keeping up) DLC.
It's about the fact that what you get in the base game is absolutely laughable. If they wanted to design a DLC factory, they should have made the base game Free to Play.
I am not ok with the pricing. At all. It is way too high.
I am however getting sick of people acting like the existence of the DLC somehow forces them to buy it or makes the game a 100$+ affair. Cause it is not.

GMG has the Digital Deluxe version for $59.99 at the moment, on the VIP deals page.
At that price, it's worth it whatever way you look at it (unless you don't like frenetic fun fps shooters that is).

I guess the only issue is if they make the DLC characters more powerful than the regular characters.
But that would cause such a huge backlash, I can't imagine they'd be THAT sleezy.
Also that over time you'll want some new things to play with and it's a bit pricey. That alone isn't reason enough to skip out on it though. The above is slightly concerning but gotta hope I guess, not missing this game, not many like it.
this makes very little sense
It's only supposed to keep you busy until the order comes out on the 20th
Don't know if you're being sarcastic or honest question so I'll answer as a real question.
You do not have to buy a single piece of DLC to ever play this game. The audience will never be fragmented as all new maps/modes will be free. They are selling new Hunter characters, new Monster's and skins for said characters. You can always play this game 100% with everyone (even those who own the new characters) with the 12 hunters, 3 monsters you get in the box. You can CHOOSE to buy the additional stuff if you want, but in no way do you have to.
lol this is like watching a street fighter match where a honda does nothing but headbutt and turtle ftw and saying the game is boring.

This is why I don't get why the backlash is so strong.
Don't get me wrong, I understand the questions on why the DLC is so high (and it is much too high and 2K should rightly be ashamed), but I'd be much angrier if the expensive DLC eventually fragmented me and others away from the DLC owning consumers.
It doesn't. So, I'm not really super pissed about it.

It's just the perception that many people have. They expect to have everything meaningful in a game (excluding superfluous pre-order DLC and other "boost" like nonsense) when they buy it as a packaged product at $60 at launch.
When there is meaningful content being sold separately at launch, it feels like it's being held back--like it it's important to the game, but the developers want to charge more than $60 for their product.
It's easy to constantly have a nagging feeling that you're getting an incomplete experience despite having paid full price. That negative sentiment will probably continue to grow and grow and turn a lot of people off in regards to the game. I think it was a monumentally stupid decision on the developer/publisher's part, and I don't doubt it will lead to this game's potential popularity being heavily stinted as well as dropping off more steeply than it would have.

And go back to after running through Order over the weekend.
That's not a fact. After the first 10hrs I've yet to see all levels, unlock the second monster and have to play two of the four classes. Which in themselves have different guys/gals which play differently. Also it's obvious that everyone is still learning, there's a lot of hidden depth. I also am convinced that new characters/monsters won't be overall stronger because that would fuck up the whole balance and destroy the game which isn't really about 'keeping up'.

Currently sitting at 79 metascore. Didn't this game take a lot of best in show awards?

You only lose $5.95 for a return. Better than eating the entire $60.

Over a single playable demo from what games were submitted, just like everything else.
Doesn't mean the the whole game comes together as GOTY. Concepts and the match-to-match stuff is fine. Just seems the variety of modes and map dynamics that are bringing the game down.

Keep in mind that although the "deluxe" edition does come with the 4 new hunters, it still DOES NOT come with the 4th Monster. The only way to get the Behemoth was to preorder or buy the $100 Monster Race edition (PC only). Or pay $15 outright when he's released in a couple of months.

I'm sorry, but this game is fantastic. I've been playing with a friend for the last two days, and we're both having a really good time with it. I hated the beta, and really couldn't get into it. Today for 5 hours we played with a full lobby of people with Mics, really had a good time. I love the concept, and it executes pretty well in game. Idk what it is, but there's something about how the game plays to make feel different each time you hunt. Playing with well coordinated team (status grenades, health grenade launders, combat shotgun, support turrets) just makes the game so satisfying when you melt a monsters health bar into nothing. Best $28(dying light traded in after I beat it) I've spent.
