Everyone is saying how good this game is so i'm thinking of buying it during autumn sales. Sell me on this game, anons who have played it
I tried playing it with my friends but I found it very boring, if you're scared of some pixels on a screen maybe it can be worth it.
>>721514884ok i removed it from my wishlist, sounds like friendslop
>>721513918Used to be fun, then the devs took a casual game you'd play a few rounds on a Saturday night and started catering to the crowd that no-lifes this game.Also they completely fucked up the VR controls
>>721513918I've been playing it a bit more recently myself after getting bored with it when it first launched. It's definitely more interesting than it was back then with the harder difficulty modes removing 1-2 evidence so you can't just immediately know what the ghost is without it ever hunting.Every ghost has it's own unique characteristics you need to learn now outside of evidence, so if you're playing on nightmare difficulty where you only get 2 out of 3 evidence, you can usually narrow it down to 3-4 ghosts out of something like 20, from there you (usually) need to make it hunt and discern it from it's tells. Some tells are very obvious, others not so much. Most people use the following website to help them learn since memorising 20 different ghosts right off the bat is pretty hard, I've been playing for a few weeks now and even I struggle with placing names to certain behaviors still: https://tybayn.github.io/phasmo-cheat-sheet/The thing with Phasmophobia is that it's very much it's own thing. I definitely think there's room in the market for a game like it that's slightly more casual than it and relies more on communicating with the ghost than going through a checklist in a way.
>>721513918It's a cool game if you like paranormal shows like Ghost Adventures since you have most of the same equipment. It's usually better to play alone or with people you know. Randos suck and might kick you for no reason.
I remember the game needed access to your mic and I couldn't ever figure out how to get it to actually listen to me so I gave up. As far as I know, the game was listening for specific keywords, it wasn't for VOIP or anything.
>>721517629What did the devs change? I haven't played in over a year.
>>721519829Thankfully you don't need to use your microphone anymore, there's a text to speech option in settings now for the relevant items that make use of it (Ouija Board, Monkey's Paw, Spirit Box).>>721519874Not sure exactly what they changed but the game plays like how >>721519709 described.
This game is absolute abysmal amateur dogshit but totally worth wasting money on if you only want to stand in a room saying trigger words and taking photos for national geographic all day while the ghost poses for you instead of feeling like you're actually in a haunted house. The devs consider an actual horror update lower priority than character customization, prestiging, twitch drops and even a fucking movie deal so make of that what you will.
>>721513918I just wish the devs would stop fucking around reworking the maps and focus on ghost events some more.
>>721517629>Also they completely fucked up the VR controlsBoooooo, literally the only good thing was that it could be VR.
