Dear "fans", dear Bethesda, dear Inxile and dear Brian Fargo...

Me and a friend just finished the game and I suddenly got a really cool idea for a DLC, I call it "the apology" or "the big apology". The basic idea is this: Brian Fargo or someone from Bethesda or whoever promoted this game sets up a cam and apologizes for talking people into buying this crap.

I can't recall playing a bigger piece of junk in the last 2 or 3 years. The game is buggy like hell, clipping errors from chapter 1 - 6, the commands respond poorly (there's a horrible respond lag), there's absolutely *no* reward in playing any of the sidequests or beating enemies or bosses. What the hell do I care for magic weapons? I CAN'T EVEN HIT THE FINAL BOSS WITH ONE OF THE CHARS MAIN WEAPON.
And the magic system is so pointless. There are exactly two magic types you can care about. We found ourselves running through the poorly designed and boring ways of this game, hoping that we could reach the next door to skip the chapter. And by the way, I think Inxile managed to screw up the Unreal engine even more, we were speedruning through a chapter and the textures were still loading (or does this game just look so awfully bad?).

It's 6 chapters of tedious and stupid hide and kill the same enemy types over and over and over again. It's sword and bow enemies the whole freaking game with the same setting. Over and over. And over. Co-op? That's the biggest joke. All you do is open doors together at the SAME TIME. FOR GOD'S SAKE, IF YOU ARE STEALING IDEAS FROM OTHER GAMES (saving system, navigation system, etc) AT LEAST STEAL SOME GOOD COOP QUESTS. There are 2-3 occasions in the entire game where you do something that can be called co-op, great.

And the item system? You can't exchange items between players. Try to help a friend dying and you will end up taking some junk off the ground or doing some buggy finishing move with the camera pointing to the sky.

Talking about gameplay, the fighting is bad and boring, the animations are annoying, the finishing moves are pointless and the controls are HORRIBLE. If someone is attacking you and you manage to time your attack and counter, the enemy will take damage and his attack will be stopped right? WRONG, not in Hunted. There's no point and no reward for making any effort to take advantage of a certain weapon or situation. Is more like this: Enemy attacks, enemy stops. You attack, you stop. Enemy attacks, enemy stops...

Btw, great work on the story too. I've never pinpointed and predicted a story as easily as Hunted's. We seem to have finished the game with the "bad ending", but honestly we don't give a . This **it is going down the john. There's no way in hell we would want to put this teratism on another human being.

I have no idea how high Bethesda's bribe was, but this game is hardly worth 30 out of 100.


"Constructive criticism criticizes a proposed idea. This means that when you voice your concerns, please do so in a way that offers a vehicle for improvement. If you see something going wrong, feel free to say so, but also say something about how to set it right."

That's the point, you can't. This game, everything about it, was unfinished from the start. And now, nobody cares.

My last comments:

1. Don't even consider renting this. Don't ever consider buying this.
2. Give me my money back.
3. And my time.

Thank you.

Yah. I can't help but feel ripped off at the price I paid for this game... The game was hyped and I was looking forward to it... Then all of a sudden released with little more then a peep and since then developers have completely abandoned the game... No patches, no fixes, not even so much as a comment to the community... The website has even been updated since months before the game even released. I was expecting a lot more out of this game and it's developers. I would still be excited about the game if the developers were actively involved in updating and improving the game or give us some indication that they give two [censored] about this game or the community that bought the game... I would have just pirated it if I knew they were going to pull this nonsense, but no I supported them because I trusted and respected them, my bad.

This should have been a 20 or 30 dollar game at most. It's not a bad game but it could have been a lot better and there are bugs and issues that need to be addressed.
