As AltF4 already said, its literally a product where the customer doesn't understand or know what it actually tries to resemble.

Let's both be honestly here escalation, it's gonna fail because we can't play as actual hyenas.
Honestly that would had given it more appeal :V

I don't know about you, but i'm genuinely getting tired of these hipster, quirky, "lol me so random" crap. This game is gonna be a hard pass, especially since it just looks so generic.

[wub]

I'm so damn tired of devs (and publishers) being absolutely hellbent of making their shooter (whether first or third person) multiplayer only. Especially when they slap a story in here because nobody's smart enough to consider putting a single player campaign.

This game will flop at launch and they will cut the servers and forget about it. In the meanwhile you can still play dirty bomb LONG after official support ended. I cant ever stop putting Dirty Bomb as an excellent, superb example of a consumer friendly free to play game that i love and you can still play. Props to the developers for having balls so big they cant go to the servers and turn them off

alien isolation to this... i cant believe most of the dev team was thrilled about making this unless its a new generation of developers

"Since destroying capitalism is a running theme of Hyenas, the game won't have any microtransactions."

That contruction gun is like the GLOO gun from Prey (2017)

For all the germans here I'mn gonna quite AltF4Games now who also made a summary of his experience watching the Sega Stream: "ES IST EIN ZIGELSTEIN!!!!"

[mariopikaman]

Didn't even wait to launch before crashing and burning lmao

I really miss Arena shooters, I don't like Battle Royals alongside Tarkov and it's clones at all, kinda hate them actually, especially with all the single player games we lost to them like Black Ops 4 or TitanFall 3. The first few times we got glimpes of the game's existence, I was curious, but like, not so much, like just bit, like, "what's this?", but not "hey let's look it up now" kinda curious. Now that we know more... I'll pass.

PS: As someone who likes hyenas, there is a severe lack of hyenas in this Hyenas game. Give me my spotties, give me my stripies, give me my yeens.

I'm invited to the alpha and trust me this game sucks. The gunplay is "ok" but the humor is that typical borderland wannabe which isn't funny I've said my peace in their alpha discord but it's filled with the type of people that can't take criticism so this game is 100% gonna flop

[rompevuevitos]

Oh great, another one for the pile of FPS
And from sega of all things

Oh there is no way this could go wrong, no sir
It's not like sega's defining characteristic is releasing unpolished games and their only redeeming factor was having unique IPs

[EmberTheShark]

I actually fell for the thumbnail ... damn

This video, along with Volound's vids on Hyenas, have aged like fine wine.

[Cruddyhorse]

I kinda felt like something was up with this game when they went out of thier way to not show gameplay and thier continued reticence to show the game off properly has already made me plentifully doubtful.

[andresbravo]

Sometimes great companies might get feedback to fix the issues.
Edit: even I lied about this game, it might be nothing great.

[DarkFox]

More surprised to hear that Sega is still around and hasn't gone bankrupt yet; them trying to make a copycat game whose only difference is it's self-indulgent / self-referential of the company's prior successful IPs is like standard operating procedure for them at this point.

[VaqueroCoyote]

This game has nothing to do with yeens
0/10

I wanted to give this game a chance besides bit looking so cringe but it also plays very weird.
The PVE is kinda boring and more importantly feels unrewarding when you then get killed by other players. I only played a few rounds but for me the mixture of the gameplay elements don't really seem to fit together.
If it's not even a f2p game then I'm pretty sure it will be doa.
