  • 4v1 asymetrical has long ago ruined any chances of a legacy franchise horror game.

    I hate this style of gameplay. It encourages min/maxing, griefing and requires YouTube strat watching. I am too old for all that shit. I just want to play a decently made (quality here can match the movies honestly) b-tier game in these worlds I grew up loving. Instead, I try these things at launch when they’re buggy but still have some equality as the player base hasn’t gone full toxic and then by the time they’re patched and stable, its full of sweats or dead.

    By now we’ve burned through Evil Dead, Killer Klowns, Texas Chainsaw and Friday the 13th chasing Dead by Daylight money.

    What a fucking waste of dev resources. All it’s done is make each and everyone of those potentially great franchises for story telling appear too unprofitable for suits to jump in again…likely never on some of them.
















  • With this and the Day One Steam Deck, it really shows us what the future of gaming could have been.

    Now give me a uplay - crossplay license for PC, Xbox and PS4/5 (with streaming licenses for geforcenow, Xbox Cloud and PS-Whatever it is) and I’d day 1, Ultimate-Deluxe-Gold w/ Season One Season Pass that shit.

    They won’t. But we could have lived there instead of the land of minimal effort, 4th rate headline grabs of desperation. Instead the Guillemots (let’s all agree to name and shame multimillionaires from here on out, every chance we get) angle their golden chutes away from the impact zone as the company puts all it’s underpaid, non-unionized dev teams hopes and dreams of eating this summer against a bloated budget and assembly lined “creative decisions”.
