I'm not sure about this at all. Mildly interesting concept but I can't see how it won't get awfully boring within a week.
 
Just had my first game on it there after a good while searching for one. I was all over the place like. :lol:

That's exactly why it's boring. I was a hunter and there are a team of you running around in the dark for 20 minutes following footprints that lead nowhere, then you are told some birds have been disturbed by the monster and you run in the other direction. Eventually you find the stupid thing and shoot the shit out of it. Your bullets don't seem to register so you aren't sure if you are doing out. Then it blows up some electric generator and you lose :neutral:. But running around for ages and ages before all this is so boring its unreal. Won't be playing it again.

Even in previews alot of magazines, forums etc. were raving about it. From what I read and trailers I saw it sounded shite to me. This alpha has just confirmed it.

One of the Mods on Neogaf summed it up in a good post, about 80% of the replies on that thread have said near the same thing:

"Played a few games with friends. We got a group of 4 going, and finally managed to connect with solo players who were monsters. It's.... not very fun. :(

For game which demands so much coordination and teamwork on the human team, it also doesn't give the humans much to do at all. It's really dull for a long time until the monster actually triggers something which allows it to be tracked. Even then, it feels like so much of the gameplay loop is dependent on the player being the monster to keep it engaging. If you're playing with a scrub, it's a non-game. If you're playing with someone very experienced, it's frustrating. At least in team vs team games, there's usually an ability curve, here, out of a game of 5 players, one player alone determines the tempo of the match. Not a fan of that at all.

The UI is also really crappy on PC. It feels like it was designed as a console game from ground up and there are stupid things which keeps reminding everyone that it's a console interface meant for buttons. Ugh."
