I used to play Depth, that was a real fun asymmetric fps a few years back. Dunno what it's like now, tho.

Depth is good fun but it's one of those games that get a big population boom any time it goes on sale for super cheap, then fritters away a bunch of population over time for a few reasons, then another sale and another boom.

It's not running fine on consoles. The switch version runs sub 30 at most times, apparently.

Also yeah, the game is Not Good on console and can have entirely different metas sometimes because certain killers are just agony with the FPS drops and in general lower FPS on consoles, switch version both looks and runs awful.

Oh yeah, she's unfortunately been That Killer for a little bit now languishing with a kit that just doesn't really cut it anymore or has been completely powercrept by another killer, with Pig it's that Ghostface came out and did "Sneaky ambush slasher" way better than she ever could, because he can play the stealth game, but he can also trick people on loops way harder with turning off the stain, turning off his stain also lets him get a lot more tunnel-vision grabs/hits, he doesn't have to slow himself to a crawl to play sneaky at all like she does and so on. Pig was cool when once upon a time her traps were more fun to play with and could screw people in better/funnier ways, but it feels like someone has to almost be letting it happen to die to her traps now unless she's running some loadouts. But hey they remembered that Plague was still in the game eventually and gave her some changes that helped out, so ideally Pig can get that next.

Man, the game is so much less fun now that Undying + Devour Hope is a thing.

Imagine how fun it's been with the million instantly cleansed hex totems that spawned right in front of survivors at the start of matches on the other side of the map that you have literally zero chance to do anything about for years. :v:

Undying is just yet another band-aid for problems that the devs won't or can't fix.

Like I wish I could use Huntress Lullaby on it's own for laughs more, but without Undying it often gets blown up before a stack can even happen, same for other hexes that aren't high impact but trapped in lit-from-match-start totems.

Even with TotH, a lot of the time you have absolutely zero ability to make a save when the totem spawns across the entire map, right in a survivors initial 360 view. Undying is the only like true Hex insurance. (One of Blight's perks, so also DLC)

And remember, if you don't like how a killer actually plays, you can just keep playing who you do like and them dump BP into that other to get their teachables out of them.

Like that used to be Bubba to a T back when he'd been abandoned at the bottom of the heap, he was just a hurdle to getting BBQ for most people, nowadays Clown has that designation more for how good Pop Goes The Weasel is.

I'm going to play my third ever Blight game when the patch that fixes his FOV comes out but he was leveled the night I got him for that sweet sweet hex baby

Yeah, despite his issues Blight can still be a crazy terror so at least it's not a great perk trapped on a terrible character again, but god almighty does it put a damper on playing him when you get a poo poo map like corn anything and he's blinded worse than any short character.

DeathChicken posted:

I'm to this day really dumbfounded they released a character glitched halfway into the floor and it took them six months to fix it, their logic being "We'll get to it but it's a lot of work"

Everyone should've group hallucination style insisted to BHVR that Blight is a survivor and his problem is ruining the game, poo poo would've been patched overnight.

"Hey you, killer. Don't chase me off the hook. Don't go anywhere near the hook if you have me on one, I don't care if three other people are standing nearby. Also if you knock anyone down don't leave them there, ignore that if you pick them up they're going to stab you, most likely even if you've been chasing some other person long enough to down them too and came back. Also stop playing Hag, Deathslinger, Spirit, Freddy, Pyramid Head and Doctor. Failure to do this means you are a Bad Killer and playing the game wrong."

I love that Nurse is sometimes included in that list of names too, like man, really gonna gripe about the hardest to use killer in the game, but then to those people literally anything that kills them or their little gang is overpowered.

Man you know what, every decent chunk of killer games I get this little twinge in my mind, I hope the new colorblind options come out and they're chained to a perk, like how having any non-headache-inducing FOV is tied to one already, just because I know there'd be such a massive blowup at the devs that they might actually concede things like "Letting you get to basic accessibility options without a perk grind" like sane people and free both options and any others from similar boneheaded design further on. And then their entire office would probably twist into a black hole at the task of putting an FOV slider in the options menu.

Cause man seriously, feeling a little sick from the start lately, playing killer too long in combination has been giving me some real gross eye and head feels after enough.

I have become 100% shameless about deranking after having had enough red ranks for a good long time. It's not like I'm looking to stomp new/mid-level players balls, I'd just like matches that are actually fun to screw around or try funny things in anymore and the higher in rank you go, the more those matches vanish under dreary sweaty experiences. Sure it's cheesy or whatever, but given the choice between "Cheesy, but non-malicious rank manipulation" and "Get little if any enjoyment from most matches anymore" I'll go with the former.

If you pick some of the real rear end in a top hat challenges, just focus on doing those if you're gonna do them, you might be a detriment to the team, but gently caress em they'd almost certainly or are almost certainly doing the same thing.

And then sometimes you see a Nurse and realize it's someone who's literally never played her before, just trying futilely to get the two instant strike blinks challenge done, I'll actually be nice to those people and like, stand and nod at the gate until they get that I'm telling them "Go on, do your challenge man" and not being a fool, just cause it feels nice to help out someone obviously struggling really badly with a high skill ceiling killer/challenge.

By just standing there until the killer gets sick of it, remember which game we're playing, there's absolutely terrible nerdlingers that would go there and then alt-tab out until you quit, it's happened with previous invincible spots.

Man, he really has so much of other killers, but bad.

He builds up a burst of power like Oni, but Oni can just sit on his until he needs it, while you get this dumb small window to use Trickster's power that also handicaps him.

He has a ranged build-up attack like Plague, except for some reason his drains and even drains in chases to make it worse.

He throws his weapons and can do direct health states like Huntress, except Huntress hits you once and you're injured, while he needs to hit you like fifteen times or whatever dumb amount.

Along with the previous two, not only is his build-up shtick worse than Plague, he has to go get ammunition like Huntress.

He can't lean on playing M1 because he's as slow a giant slavic beast woman.

A lot of his addons feel like they barely do much, so you can't even use the god awful excuse of "He needs addons" like people did/do for some killers.

His own power in general negatively affects him more than maybe anyone else, not only does he go into a Nurse UGH state, he can't use his normal power for twenty seconds after.

Best of all, people told BHVR all of this on the PTB and they did jack poo poo. I hate it because he's hypothetically fun, but the moment you run into people with any sense whatsoever he's torture.

I cannot fathom the amount of raw, internal tension between the team that handles the art assets and the team that "handles gameplay".

The Twins are at least pretty strong, but only when played in the most dull way, leave Victor at hooked idiot, go roam around as bog standard M1 with Big Body and pop to Victor when needed as your off-hand hook camper.

Plague and Bubba are great for their perks, but they're also generally a lot more fun to play than they used to be nowadays as well, Miguel Myers is also fun but if you want to keep enjoying him, don't play Ghost Face, it's hard to go back after :v:
