Discussing Survive The Hunt #26

Survive The Hunt 26 was quite possibly one of the most successful for me, with plenty of cars exploded, exciting chases and some near misses thrown in for good measure.

[@NoteToUrist]

During a STH you tense up, thinking the hunters are cleverly positioning themselves, waiting for the perfect moment to spring their trap. then when you watch the analysis, you realize they are just prating about discussing the Chunnel for about an hour.

*Alex going 100mph through tight twisty one-way streets after being bumped by hunters* "Is that him?" "Uhm, it might be?"

[@longbowxmkii]

In fairness, it's hard to keep track of who's in what car, and where the chase has gone exactly

[@mafiacat4422]

Yeah, Alex definitely relies on chaos to make distance when a chase is on-going; either that or the unlikely possibility he finds a super-car during the chase and can actually afford to switch, in which that case he can get get out of sight exceptionally quickly just out of pure straight-line speed. One survive the hunt his only option left was to resort to running on foot while the hunters actively pursued Alex (I don't remember why, or which one) and out of some movie involving plot-armor he found a super-car in a garage awaiting him, and he narrowly escaped that one alive. That has to be one of my favorite survive the hunts, that and the one where he escaped on the beach after a chase that lasted ages (Was an older one as well). So it definitely goes to show Alex is put in unpredictable situations where he has to find creative solutions to survive, which really makes STH so good in the first place. Keep up the good work if you do see this Mr. Longbow.

[@trulsolsen683]

@@mafiacat4422 ah yes, wasn't that STH 17? Same one where he shot down that helicopter. Definitely my favorite one as well

[@mafiacat4422]

God, I love this community. It very well could be STH 17, since it would only be a couple away from 20 I know for sure. The moments where Alex goes on the offensive and survives are great, since it's a risk and reward play that always puts some good tension and action in the mix. I also have pondered for a long time if Alex is allowed to get a boat, since if he is well that would be quite interesting - a chase in the waters? I was excited that it would possibly happen in STH #25, but it didn't appear there where any for the taking; asides it would have directly informed the hunters where Alex was located. I love the fact that the hunters where shocked that he took that route, and I am sort of wondering if it would actually be viable. I haven't played GTA 5 so I wouldn't know the map too know if in his restrictions it would be effective. One of these days it would be great if Alex just did a yolo attempt where instead of pris he actually tried to kill as many hunters as possible before the end of the time - they wouldn't know this of course if / when it happened. Still a thought.

[@trulsolsen683]

@@mafiacat4422 yup, this looks like it kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5emnGaOncyNp9km50s I think going on a boat is technically allowed, I seem to remember one time both Alex and all the hunters started on boats. Might even have been a recent one. Think he got off it pretty quickly and never returned, but it certainly would be interesting. Have you seen the STH he did in Forza Horizon 4 where he spent the whole time following the hunters at full speed, pretending to be one of them? The mad man actually got away with it haha. But I think that'd be way too risky in GTA V because of the hunter chat. Test Drive Solar Crown is right around the corner, and that's expected to have a pretty massive map with tons of playable city area. I'm willing to bet they're gonna try at least one STH over there, and that I can't wait for. But for now, GTA does just fine.

[@nicholsonfile]

It would not be a bad idea to have some of the hunter's record their video. This could actually be included when FailRace realizes he's being pursued as a kind of live dash cam. It's likely more work and editing than is really worth it, however.

[@x-90]

So you mean we see the hunters POV and than in the bts we see Alex’s POV? I would love thar

[@iambiggus]

I'd be cool to see Alex on a map that we can see but they can't. That way we can know how close things got, etc. Sounds like it would be pure GTA chaos. I like it.

[@soopespeed]

On laddosaurus's channel - the laddo show - there is a video of him hunting in StH. Just he was unlucky that time, and nothing happened. But it is still a taste of their experiences. I think a version of that with multiple perspectives would be cool

[@terryostype9099]

This is absolutely fascinating. You'd think that as this series goes on it would become more simplistic but the opposite is true. As each individual learns about behaviour patterns (both Alex and AI) the complexity increases. This also means that predicting future behaviour patterns becomes more complex. This in turn means that there is an added level of complexity as Alex and the hunters develop more complex levels of strategy based on how they predict the different outcomes. Then on the level of human interaction and communication you have another unexpected outcome. You'd expect that as the hunters work together more they would become a more cohesive unit and therefore more successful. However as it becomes apparent that behaviour patterns are less predictable and more chaotic different theories of predicting future behaviour emerge...sometimes even within an episode. This leads to less coherence within the hunters and more conflict. I reckon a good psychology, social anthropology or even maths student could get a decent PhD out of watching this. I may have had a couple of beers and I'm still nulling this one over so cut me some slack!

[@aryboss1514]

Damn, we found ourselves a philosopher

[@tls5870]

Like the hunters predicting which pri he will go to next, and Alex realizing they're going to expect it and goes for a different one but then the hunters predicting he will dupe them and predict the correct one and then Alex predicting he should go for double reverse psychology and go for the obvious one while walking down the street blending in with pedestrian AI and watching the mayhem unfold after blowing the pri and discreetly aim a weapon at an AI car so that they take off in front of the hunters.

[@terryostype9099]

[@MisterVercetti]

This video pretty much confirmed my suspicions: this smashing victory was comprised of 10% Alex's skill and 90% Hunter incompetence.

[@mafiacat4422]

Well it's not necessarily incompetence, there's just a lot of chaos during STH. I will say some shenanigans do cost the hunters in some of the STH, though the AI are just a real-pain for hunters leading them on a false-chase on occasion. Also Pri notifications not showing up nearly defeats the purpose since it can take a minute or two before the hunters can figure out which one if they hear it and don't see it, by then Alex is only in the very rough-area if not gone. It also can be hard to distinguish who is driving what vehicle in amidst a lot of chaos; especially when a truck accidentally becomes a hazard that throws one off. I can understand your point though :).

[@Marrrrtin]

Actually, I think Alex deserves a bit more credit for this one, and also luck and good timing!

[@louisurbancic2206]

If you've ever played STH, you'd know that hunters describing accurately while chasing the survivor at the same time is incredibly difficult. You're trying to do multiple things at once and hoping the others are understanding what you mean and the more voices on the mic the harder it is to single out the instruction. So call it incompetence, if you choose. But it comes across as you don't seem like you've ever played before. Last time I did it, we had everyone on mic (5 hunters and 1 survivor) and the survivor was taunting us telling us that one of the hunters passed him and it still took us 15 real world minutes to find him, to say nothing about the actual killing him to win. And that was 6 people. Looks like this group consisted of 16-ish people. It's a tough game for everyone involved which is what makes it so interesting.
