Press enter.
And the game would need a voice command system like Tribes or Smite, btw. I don't know why so few games do it.

Probably think they can take on the humans at the start instead of feeding to evolve.
It is fairly easy to take down the monster at the start if people play their roles properly.

Thank you. I was looking around everywhere for codes besides the OP one not working.

The problem from what I've seen is they don't put enough distance from the hunters before starting to eat animals. They don't notice how the hunter landing position is somewhat close to the monster, always, so the first 30 seconds should be running away. After, using a bit of stealth or jumping to try to don't leave footsteps in the trail the hunters are following, then, it's when you can start to feed.

It takes skill, and there are many new players that weren't around for the first alpha. I wasn't confident with the monster until I had played with it for the third time, and that was after playing dozens of games as the hunters. It's also very possible that people get dropped into playing as the monster for their first game.
lol this is funny as hell. They are live streaming their own game now and can't join a match :lol

I can get a match pretty easily now. Ever since that update. ..Oh I see, there's too many people and all the servers are full. I bet its because you can just keep playing with the same people, so why leave?
Watched a stream, am I the only one who thinks this game sucks?
It looks like a mod(not graphically), definitely not worth full price, $10 at best.
Also it looks unbalanced as shit, I still don't see the main draw of the game, ever since they unveiled it.
load time are a joke

Here's my first game as the hunter. We did okay and won at least.
Recorded with shadowplay so 1080p60.

Looks solid on PC, there are some effects there that aren't on the xb1 version I think (the water ripples off of players, even though it doesn't look that good). The sniper rifle is important as the healer class because it creates critical hit spots on the monster.
For those who have had a chance to play this, is it true that you can't have a 5 person party/group playing in a match with your friends being both the hunters and the monster?

Well, that's really disappointing... hopefully something they will add to the game, otherwise that'll be a big part of the games appeal gone for me.
Yup.
Goliath feels that way yeah. He needs something else. The rock throw sux. Kraken is a beast imo.

So how is everybody feeling on the optimization of the alpha for PC?
I'm getting a stable 60fps with a few drops down to 45-55 from time to time but its not too bad. When the match begins while in the plane im geting a stable 45 but hits a locked 60 after I hit the ground. My settings are very high with tessellation on and AA at SMAA-T2. I have a i5-3570k @ 4.2 and a GTX 680 OC 4gig.

The wait between matches is way too long, hope they shorten it
Yeah, I should have used the sniper more. But I didn't like how much it zoomed in, so it was hard to get a good shot at medium range.

Matchmaking is working but because of this 8 player thing I still can't get into a game...
Better today than launch day I guess.

Guess they stopped sending out codes?
YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP
so weird.
also seems this will have a just as terrible community as left 4 dead with people on mics being racist and yelling curse words. awesome.
Back out and try again. I've had that happen to me but if you don't mind a match in a minute or two back out and try again.

Dang. I thought the PS4 alpha was only gonna be delayed by a few hours. But now that I've gotten a chance to read the post on their site, it makes me think the postponement might last for the entirety of the weekend's test and that they'll just hold another test later on down the line.

Playing on PC, first impression: those load times, LOL. The final game can't have 4 big load screens after each other, ridiculous. Matchmaking is awful, had to wait 5 minutes on my first match. Getting to play the game takes so fucking long. Gameplay is fun and hunting the monster is satisfying. My GTX670/3570k can't run the alpha on high, getting dips to 15-20fps.

I'm thinking they'll just make the alpha longer because it's been having issues across the board.

Yeah, what is up with this.
Was surprised at this, too. I guess it's been a while since I've played a shooter online, but damn. I wish the mute function worked more reliably.
It's a pretty fun game. Still have half the classes and the monster(s) to try. Kind of miss the pacing that was in L4D. Yep.

Just played a game where the monster was sat still on a cliff for 15 minutes, no AI take over, no boot.
Like, come on?
They need to add some sort of starvation bar for the monster.
