This mode is cool, but it is wreaked with problems: bugs (not the xenos)
, microphone issues/hiccups, and certainly, enormous lag and it is frustrating to play with friends, because of the issues mentioned, and without friends, because the AI is now absurd come past wave 6! That's your AI these days: from unrealistically stupid to unrealistically hard! For single player in Bug Hunt mode, that is! And It takes FOREVER to find mates to play! And the the Xenos taking forever to kill is not helping matters! Of course, with two or three, two turrets and a tunnel to prevent them from coming from multiple directions, it can be done! Still, not my idea of 'good fun' when you're trapped in a mode where you can't get connected to players!
They should build a DLC or a patch that enables us to have a crew of NPC/bot buddies to play with, because unless the issues with the connection/finding parties is solved, this mode is SP only for me! I am tired of waiting and waiting and waiting...!
So, There is still LONG WAYS to go for Gearbox! And next DLC, they need to either retcon or fill in the blanks for the story to make sense! Otherwise, there is no graphics patch, AI semi-patch or co-op modes that can save the beast!
Still, great graphics on the Bug Hunt modes! Why weren't they in the SP campaign to begin with, is anyone's guess!
Regarding the grain, I think it hides better the
poor graphics flaws, but it gets annoying... good to know they will include a toggle option on next patches...
Although it is good to see Gearbox trying, this game took 6 years to develop... They are trying to buy us back with things hat ought to have been done prior to release, not months after! And a 4 GB patch says it all! The biggest patch I have ever seen for a game!
Nevertheless, this DLC and the patch are steps in the right direction, except for the film grain...
