This games fanbase goes to a truly heroic amount of effort to be horny, especially since Charlotte is one of the more viscerally disturbing designs.

Tiny Myers posted:They whine about any gameplay mechanic introduced that adds any measure of difficulty or complexity to the thing they've spent 4000+ hours (not an exaggeration) doing, even though you'd expect they'd want some kind of variety at this point, because they simply do not want to play the game anymore, or perhaps they just want the easy hit of dopamine from a practiced skill and to be able to turn their brain completely off with no struggle whatsoever. This is the real culprit of why the community seems to hate the game and the devs and each other so much. The whole drat playerbase is hugely burnt out but instead of realizing that if you do something for Two Thousand Hours you get bored, they get frustrated instead of taking a break and doing something else. I tend to stop playing in between events or rifts even if I still wanna play, simply because I don't want that burnout.

See also: every multiplayer game made past 2015. I have no idea how the Fortnite developers drag themselves into work every morning just to make something new that will have the lifespan of a housefly with heart failure.

idontpost69 posted:most of survivor bitterness can be traced to gens. Doing gens, tedious work, for an entire match and then feeling like failure was innevitable sucks. Losing a teammate and your tedious objective now becoming impossible sucks. If the entire game say resembled endgame where you're just freely running around by the seat of your pants with no 90 second qtes weighing you down I think people would be better sports about the humiliation of getting ganked. That's one of the things TCM did really well IMO. It's not a game of linear progression where the survivors have to tick five items off a list and then escape, it feels more open ended and varied.

I used to have an active SWF, but now I really only play Survivor if there’s an event, a daily/tome, or if I’m bored/frustrated with playing Killer. Survivor has such a lack of variety unless you’re playing a dumb gimmick build, and even then it’s kind of a slog. Solo Survivor even moreso.

The reception has been positive. I think it’s a combination of being a goofy, fun skin in a vacuum, and it being historically relevant to BHVR. Were Naughty Bear not their first game, I imagine the skin would have never been made.

More adventures in watching twitch vods of ttv username SWF squads. I have a half-leveled Pyramid Head that I bought 30 minutes ago and am trying to learn how he works, this is game 2. Rank 1 perks and brown items. I play a game in RPD and they gently caress up unbelievably at the front lobby generator (one of them used an offering to get RPD...). I down the runner who has led me straight to them trying to 3-man the gen, slug out another clever person who is trying to body block/sabotage around the hook, slug out another who seemingly thinks it's illegal to touch them while they finish the gen because I am currently carrying someone 5 feet away. Just a catastrophic clown show on their part by piling into the tiny office area near that gen, running into me, refusing to abandon the gen, running over my barbed wire, etc. At least 3 times in the match I have nurse's calling and see pairs healing up so obviously I drag the sword and shoot a laser beam at them through the walls. A lot of people spent time bleeding out on the ground but only because they were playing like they wanted to die and I can only hook them so fast. At least once during the match I deliberately left someone on the ground because Nic Cage is very recognizable and I thought it might be his third hook. I also hosed off into the ghost dimension when they were in shambles to farm some points because they were getting slammed. I wonder what they're saying on team chat? Let's find the stream vod. "Imagine playing like this" "I think he's tunneling" "Well he's certainly something, playing like this" "He's just playing in a really toxic way" "Why the hell is he using Nurse's calling on pyramid head, that's idiotic" (One of them suggested I might be stream sniping instead) I think this game's entire playerbase has gaslit themselves. There is some kind of legit psychological phenomenon here where people are just instantly ready to perceive killers as toxic assholes because of the fundamental dynamics of the game or something. Man hunting you = bad guy and everything that follows is a contrived justification. I had 6 hooks spread out before the first person died, I let the last survivor wiggle out because I wanted to go chase a green rune, I legit don't know how much more fairly I could have divided the attention unless I was keeping count with an abacus. I know nobody is making me watch these vods but it's just equal parts fascinating and bizarre. I don't want to give people a "toxic experience" but I am only becoming more convinced that simply means every time they don't win with 3+ escapees it was a toxic game.

It's aura reading which lets you hit multiple targets, and it works even if one of them has Distortion.

What if I told you these monologues and team chatter play out for 99% of players in all competitive games.  It's a totally human habit that has to actively be broken and policed.

Medullah posted:Yuppp this happens a lot to me. I had a match this weekend that went from "3 gens done with 2 hooks" to "4k at 2 gens left" because of a flashy/altruism spiral. I also love the people that don't know how to play against Xenomorph and sit at a pallet waiting for you to break it so they can get their flashy flashy only to eat a tail strike to the chest. He's quickly becoming one of my favorites, has a great toolkit and isn't all that complicated to use. While we're on the subject of 3D mousepads, I've always thought this one was funny.

I one time looked up a VOD from someone I went up against and it was awesome. "Wow! This dude knows how to use Pinhead! He's really good". I will never do it again because I'll never see a positive remark again.

Who were just fully immersed and freaking out. In between managing to be salty about the world's laziest Clown play from me because it was Midwich. Survivor hiding in a locker: "Oh God, oh God. I think they know. Go away go away go away. Me, running laps in the halls: "Where the hell am I? I hate this loving map."

The addon philosophy of Killers Through The Ages doesn't help this any. Current addons work like this: Brown - Numbers reduction/minor power rebalancing Yellow- Slightly larger numbers reduction Green - Applies a status effect in some way Purple - BIG Numbers Reduction or minor gimmick addition to power with possible downside or Survivor playstyle/activation requirement Iridescent - Info or anti-loop utility not present in basekit This is a far cry from the mid-stage addon balance of "one brown addon that makes the power worse as a joke, three or four addons that do the same thing at varying levels of usefulness, and then purple and iri addons that completely change the power" which is present on pretty much any killer prior to Blight. Wraith, for instance, has 3 different addons that affect cloak and uncloak speed, and movement speed while cloaked EACH, which takes up 9/20 addons, even before you factor in the meme addon and the two "clapper" addons that bring this to 11/20 addons that are either duplicated or Straight Up Intentionally Bad. vs Wesker, Xeno, or Smerchant where the green addons apply blindness, hemorrhage, mangled, and exhaustion, no meme addon at all, and a number reduction to the most frequent part of the power. Myers brown addons are like "straight up worse than the yellow and green addons, which are basically identical with better numbers" and Legion rework brown addons are like "your power lasts 20% longer" because they don't reuse effects anymore. And then there's killers who they just do not understand how people actually play them, like Pyramid Head or Twins, where seemingly all but 4 or 5 addons affect the part of the power that you actively try to avoid using.

Is it still kosher to talk about other asymmetrical games here like the last thread? DB Breakers is doing its first year anniversary and it seems like they at least are trying to revitalize the game after it basically has been on the brink of death for 8 months. I was super into this game at launch and played a ton with friends but poor balance and a declining playerbase ended up burning my friends and I out that we all eventually stopped, but the upcoming changes seem pretty good. Crossplay for one is going to be huge since right now the game is split up between 4 tiny playerbases and being able to merge them all will be a huge boon I think. Also excited to see some meta shakeups have happened since launch, and the bike (RIP) has been nerfed enough that it's no longer something every survivor in every match runs and makes games over before the raider can hit level 3. Really hoping all these changes are enough to jolt the game back from the brink because of how fun it is.

Breakers was fun but for me it had the same issue as FF13 where I liked being the Hunter the most and that happened like 10% of the time. That's just the wages of having a 1 v X game, where you're going to be playing X a lot more than the solo, but still. Onboarding was also really hard because being able to take on the Hunter without being mashed into dust relied on you having some grasp of the combat system, which you could only get during those 15 second bursts of fighting or during the aforementioned rare Hunter rounds.
