Kwolok posted:TCM is starting to fall into this category but hopefully the devs can turn it around because tis not designed to be like that I dunno, people seem to be having a lot of fun with the Family side of things. It's funny people are sleeping on Leatherface when he's pretty strong and in fact there will be standoffs between randos over who has to play him when if you take a few games to learn him you can get back at Leland bodychecking you by chainsawing him to pieces.

Yardbomb posted:DBD still sucks, but TCM has been fun so far. That'd be neat. Blocking off the places the survivors can worm through would make it a fun choice between risking doubling back and Johnny getting you or trying to push forward into who knows what.

Medullah posted:There's also Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed which is an assymetrical as well. I always forget that one exists and it seems a shame because historically busting has made me feel good but I remember seeing of the originals you could only play Ray and Winston which felt weird. At least throw in some people from Extreme Ghostbusters or Answer the Call.

CuddleCryptid posted:It just had enough gaps in the design that playing it outside of a group (for survivor) was frustrating and playing it as killer against a group or good solo survivors was maddening Also it seemed like they ran into some licensing issues and couldn't release any new content for a while?

curiousTerminal posted:First survivor match of the night: Double iri wesker with a map offering who hard tunneled me at 5 gens even though all 4 survivors brought anniversary cake or BPS. For some killers, XP offerings mean if they get the match over as quick as possible it's fine because they'll still get a bunch of BP just for kills.

Archenteron posted:God I miss F13. Is that legal rights limbo lawsuit still ongoing? Well the game's not coming back but to answer the larger question, yes, Jason (and Pamela) Voorhees creator Victor Miller won in court (twice) against Sean Cunningham. It was always completely valid under California law but Cunningham just had to kick. What it means for Jason they're still working out but this means Miller gets a cut of stuff he always ought to have had.

Genpei Turtle posted:Given their rationale I kind of get it. I was thinking of picking TCM up and watched a couple of broadcasts on Steam, and about half of them were blatantly cheating. (had the trainer UI overlay on the game visible and everything). If it’s that pervasive I can see why they’d want to quarantine PC gamers for the time being. Oh, I get it as well, it's more about how it feels like it could be a problem that trips up the game from the jump. I've also seen a lot of hackers which is dumb for a goofy party game with a man with a chainsaw, and not even fun hackers just like infinite stamina hackers.

Evil Kit posted:Frankly I feel immensely terrible for any content creator who's made their name with a single game. The amount of mental required to stay positive and enjoying a particular game is insane and majority of streamers can't do it, most just becoming really cynical and frustrated. BoxBox, a TFT streamer, is fairly up front and has stated that if he ever plays a different game on stream he loses half his viewership minimum, and will also hemorrhage viewership if he plays another game while waiting in queue. So he's just had to suck it up when it's TFT stream day and sit there staring at a screen waiting for a queue to pop, and is fortunate enough to be able to stream other games occasionally without having to worry for his livelihood. Yeah, I have a streamer friend who just eventually decided to add Hunt: Showdown and TCM to the rotation because they just can't stand how DBD gets especially in the evening about 7 PM EST when it feels like everybody with a bad day at work wants to take it out on other people.

Shaman Tank Spec posted:To compare: I play a lot of Final Fantasy XIV and World of Tanks. When I take a break from FFXIV, it's just a thing. OK, I feel like playing something else for a while, I'll be back when the next content patch drops etc. With World of Tanks it gets to a point where playing the game actively makes me angry and frustrated, and I feel like I never want to touch it again. Didn't even one of the FFXIV devs tell you to take breaks from it? Shaman Tank Spec posted:I don't think the game's going to die overnight, nor that TCM is going to overthrow it (and the devs don't seem to even want to, they're content doing their own thing), but it's sad how bad things have gotten and how little hope there seems to be of anything changing. Occasionally nerfing whatever perk the spreadsheet says is the problem this month (or more realistically this six months) ain't gonna do poo poo. It feels like Gun Media knows that if not for the legal stuff Friday the 13th would still be a going concern (Uber Jason RIP) and if they can do that with TCM then it's a victory.

Doomykins posted:But these survivor favoring games still died. I think it's a case of the 4/5 will howl but keep playing vs the game quietly dying. Part of it is probably the big content creators making - because they need to game the YouTube algorithm - title cards like "This killer is BROKEN!!" and survivor players going 'well it must be true' and not want anything to do with said killer.

Evil Kit posted:I mean that's you selectively watching certain types of streamers lol. it's not uncommon for survivor main streamers, especially the casual ones, to play exclusively SWF. Whether that's just one other person or a full swf depends on the streamer but it really takes a certain type of player to have the mental for solo survivor queue. Most streamers I know at least have a community day, but even then they don't often use comms unless they really trust who they're playing with. If somebody says a Heated Gamer Word it's on them, and more than that I've seen randos on comms try to take over the stream for lack of a better term, talking over the streamer and whatnot. Also comms are distracting if the streamer wants to interact with their community.

It died out because it had gameplay issues, not because they made the cardinal sin of shunning our sacred Steam I dunno, a lot of folks did seem to go 'I'll wait until it's on Steam' or more accurately 'ew, Epic' because brand loyalty is a poison.

Shaman Tank Spec posted:I'm not saying this is proof that DBD is going to die as well because I honestly think DBD has too much inertia and too many popular licenses to truly die. But it is fascinating to see them do the same kinds of design decisions in another game without those benefits, and the results of those decisions. I'm also not going to pretend it's easy to design and balance a game like this so that both sides have a fun and rewarding experience, I've watched a couple of good breakdowns on VHS and Evil Dead respectively and why they died and they both honestly had the same thing in common in large part, which was making monster/Kandarian demon unfun to play. Maybe because they figured the other side would be bigger so they weighted towards that but of course in doing that it meant nobody wanted to play those roles so queue times just got worse and worse. And playing monster or demon were always a pain for different reasons.

Scoss posted:In the post-game with my zero-prestige Billy, a 70-prestige player started poo poo talking me because I wiped them out, calling me a "boring rear end trash killer"-- evidently, because I held W and pressed left click too much instead of excessively chainsaw bonking the environment and letting them run circles around me. I was using the chainsaw as much as I could manage, mind you, and got a few downs with it, but not enough for this dude's satisfaction. Yeah, I keep seeing more and more 'we were having fun and playing the game' taken by the other side as 'YOU'RE BEING TOXIC.' I was in fact told to unalive myself because I rescued a teammate during endgame collapse against a Huntress and she got no kills. I mean, she got double hooks on everybody, lot of decent axe snipes, played fine but she was "supposed" to have a kill. A lot of these complaints are "Oh no, you killed survivors" or "Oh no, you got out of the gate" and it's getting sillier.

Medullah posted:Yup and stealth is useless against them. Try an Artist/Huntress match against them and watch them dodge like Neo in the Matrix Although it's interesting how you can game the system, so to speak. Take Artist with Disco and it's super easy to keep the bots off gens because they always pair up but they flee like frightened toddlers when hit with birds. Nemesis and Xeno can always hit their whip attacks because bots always vault. Take Bamboozle or just make them repeatedly vault to clear them off a loop. Unfortunately none of this really teaches you anything about how to play the game.

What a dork. Like the equivalent of some millionaire dressing up as Lucy from Elfen Lied then killing for fun because she thinks it's unironically badass. I wish they'd leaned into how unbelievably stupid and funny that is, it owns. Interestingly the average Predator is the alien equivalent of a rich dipshit who hunts wolves with a high-powered rifle from a helicopter so Skully still keeps to their spirit if not their appearance.

I don't blame them for wanting to play Lethal Company.
