>>739794040Came here with that response. Your first few dozen matches on either side are great. Survivor has you max "immersed" playing hide and seek and then slowly building up confidence to run them and feeling great when you go for a solid 12 seconds. Killer has you consistently getting 2 or 3 K as Trapper and occassionally remembering to use your power or kick gens. You get gilled with the joy of the hunt as you round a corner you caught feint movement in and barely see the Claudette in a bush with a free bonk. Then you pass that fun party threshold and only ever see Nurse/Blight/Anime on survivor and will consistently have 3 gens pop before your first down on anything but a T1 Killer. That high will never come back and you have to let go.

>>739794460>>739794040i got like to the top end of MMR within a couple dozen hours of playing killer in that game, to the point that random survivor players (several thousand hours played) would comment on it. i even played "fair" and didn't tunneli think that game just has the issue of having an inbred, dogmatic meta and so very few people even play it correctly. i always thought chasing into tiles was pointless and also most of the stall perks were crap. my wins came from optimizing for 1 big snowball engagement with a bit of info and surprise hits/downs. also yeah the balance was wack, like nurse was like 2 tiers above anyone else, even the other meta stuff like blight

>>739794040>>739794112>>739794460>>739794814I've watched my friend play this game high-level seriously quite a bit, and I was shocked that it was a completely different game from when I played it.I got it as a fun game to be scared at with my friends and hide from a slasher villain but apparently it's more about wasting time and getting points.I suppose it's really hard to make a multiplayer game scary because you'll stop getting scared of the same thing and people will inevitably fine the meta.
>>739795415desu the issue i've had with the game is that it's piss easy 90% of the time and the remaining 10% of the time that they push a patch that's actually hard, it achieves that difficulty via infinite spawning a bunch of enemies that stunlock you desu i'd prefer the latter because you can still kinda learn to play around that, but you can't play around the game being piss easy even on the highest difficulty
>>739795579>perfect game>need to use a trinket slot just to see yourself on the map
>>739794667Perfect thats right when I deleted my account because I knew I would I keep buying a shit sandwich each time they made one if I didn't (also Brack is the most insufferable looking faggot to ever run a company)
>>739795818the reason why it's not scary is because the killers are all pretty telegraphed and you can walk them around like dogs for the most part. and the rare few killers that can actually catch you do so regardless so it's not suspenseful, more just frustrating reallyidk what they could really do to fix it. i think the original concept for the game was very scary, like having to sneak around, avoid detection, and if the killer found you you'd be dead for sure. but somewhere along the way it became a weird kiting/looping/mindgame simulator with a bunch of "for the next 30 seconds your footsteps create Beams of Evil Light which incur a 20% healing speed reduction on the enemy" style perks that even fromsoftware would shy away from
>>739793910Why is bottom man giving up in dejection if he's getting nothing but diamonds?
>>739794215>gang up on one player specifically in a way that leads to wait times and being exited from the game>people complain yes people are whiny brats but to some degree it's a natural reaction to problematic design. optimal play by killer can kind of suck for the one person on the receiving end.

>>739796119>having to sneak around, avoid detection, and if the killer found you you'd be dead for sureThis would be mostest funnest for survivor but it would be suicide dot com for killers cause a losing game would just be walking around not seeing anything.New genius idea: Fall Guys style game where there's lots of survivors and there's different rounds and you get eliminated and there's different scary minigames or maps for the killer to kill you.Thank you.

>>739793910Any of the """good""" gachas. Once you hit the paypig wall the game turns to shit.

I've still never played DBD.
>>739798720 I'll sit in a discord with 4-5 other guys who are literally making excuses and borderline screaming in anger as they play DBD, I'll suggest a number of other games and these stressed to death freaks will earnestly say "eh, idk, I tried it and it wasn't all that fun" and go back to threatening to kill BHVR employees and themselves because of the unwritten rules or MUH BALANCE
>>739793910For me, it's Battle Brothers.The early game is great every time but the difficulty scaling means that by the mid-late game you are either overpowered and there's no point in going further or you are so gimped that you might as well restart because you can't recover.
>>739794248THIS
>>739798352like i said i dropped it, i only slogged through iceborne up to barioth - a monster i already knew how to fight - and timed out twice, practically without getting hit, at which point i threw up my hands and gave up on the game, knowing my only other option was grinding gems which is the worst part of these games.
>>739799130Did you move to defender weapons? I ask because I wasn't clear at the end of World when I jumped to iceborne and I had similar issues where I wasn't getting my ass whooped, but I just wasn't doing enough damage.
dota 2 was fun during the first 100 hours when i played vs bots then i started playing with real people.. i didn't last 20 hours.. also quickplay has hero bans which is weird, let me be a onetrick gaben

>>739793910Helldivers 2.You start things around, blow shit up, level up, get heavier and heavier ordnance, help with the MOs, and then new rebalancing options happen and you cant play like you got used too.But life goes on, you learn the new ways, upgrade some more, get into more difficult fights, but then at some point things just stop being fun. It's the same gameplay against the same enemies. It's the same pointless MOs that don't matter for anything. There's no charm, no compelling reason to keep going, it's just noise. Noise that you grew used too.Then another balance patch hits.
>>739799197nah i've always been a light bowgunner to my core and it really felt like i was using a peashooter against iceborne mons. always had a pocket IG and had wanted to use gunlance forever, tried it many times in many games but never had any success until wilds - do you think either of those'd change things for the better if i bothered to pick iceborne up again? i don't think i will, but i'm still curious what you think.
>>739794835I never understood the complaints about BM Zen. It's just as mid as the rest of the game.
>>739793910All the games I played in my life, even the "bad ones", I enjoyed them. You will have to explain me the feeling of playing something you hate.

>>739793910Silent hill 4, the entire second half.of the game
>>739801203They were shit.
>>739793910Satisfactory. Around mid to early late game when you need to start building kilometre long belt-lines or railroads, and fuckhuge sky factories.I know you’re meant to be fucking the planet out of resources, but I liked building stuff on the ground and in consideration with the terrain.
>>739793910Smash bros for sure.Getting better is fun but once you reach top levels it's nothing but stinky faggots and trans.But once you're too good, you can no longer enjoy playing with casuals.Really this could apply to most competitive games.getting to the top in most competitive games ruins the magic because everything becomes a flowchart numbers game.
>>739793910The image is obviously an exaggeration, but basically any Total War game(Or maybe not, I haven't played the Warhammer ones that focus more on battles)Building your empire is the coolest part of any TW campaign. Starting small, winning battles, advancing on tech trees, growing your population, recruiting agents, establishing diplomatic ties, etc. It's all the coolest shit.But then your territories get bigger, you need to micromanaged more and more cities, your enemies get too numerous and they all attack you, since you've eaten half the world already, and it's just dull

>>739794289>Blue PrinceI am honestly surprised how much I liked the roguelike elements, considering how much I fucking hated the very idea of their inclusion before giving in to my crippling addiction to (and everlasting hunger for) riven/talos/outer wilds style puzzle adventure games and actually playing the game. Didn't even mind it getting grindy in acts 2 and 3, nor in dare mode or curse mode.

>>739793910Genshin is the inverse for me, I have to waddle through miles of liquid shit every patch, which is waiting until characters are done talking about the inane and insipid plot and they can talk about stupid shit for LITERAL hours with no gameplay at all in-between conversation "pieces" where literally nothing is said and the story doesn't really advance because literally nothing ever happens and no you can't skip any of it, until I can get to the diamonds which is the exploration and the cool combat, but the only "difficult" part of that combat is timegated every 15 and 30 daysI'm actually thinking of dropping it, I have pretty amazing teams for someone who never spent a single dime but holy fuck, this is getting real old

>>739793910Town of Salem.Really enjoyed it, but the further you get along the more refined the meta is until it basically becomes a game about remembering your script and hoping the other players are retarded rather than actually being fun.The longer you play it the less fun it gets.

>>739794986That was one of the better parts of the game. The raidnigger trash it becomes is infinitely worse than however you probably felt about the stronghold. There isn't even anything time consuming about it, and the rewards for doing so weren't essential to progression either. It's just to have fun minigame items you can place on your thing, or make it look nice.

>>739793910Tunic. Neat little zelda like, seems promising, great for the first 70% then the rest is cryptic af shit out of nowhere. The fucking puzzles once you are a ghost sucks.

>>739821231Holy shit this, Inscryption has to be one of biggest missed opportunities i've seen in a while.If the whole game was just that first cabin and it was bigger, more bosses and cards it could've been a big hit.
>>739794705Yeah, it starts becoming ass toward the end of Act 2, where you don’t get any new metroidvania powers, but I quit once the only goal in front of me was “do all our shitty quests, maybe something will happen :)” and one quest was to literally farm rng drops>>739794289Just played Blue Prince. Became totally disenchanted with it when I suffered from the success of getting room 46 open and having the pump room powered up on day 11, but not having enough steps for both. I did a couple more days and found even more “puzzles” that were just “make more manors until you get the thing you need to activate something obvious.” Completely shit structure around a cool game. Being able to revisit your manors or something would fix it
>>739794289Ya I'll stand by Inscryption as a universal answer. It isn't turbo shit later down the line, the part where the computer "wins" and you partly redo the cabin section under different techno circumstances was all right.It's just the Cabin is clearly the main act and everything that comes after can't compete.
>>739795682I uninstalled the game the moment I realized you can't hold to sprint, it's unbelievable
>>739793910Crimson desert, liquid shit being the part after you finish the game and come to /v to see what others say.

>>739793910>ControlI thought the story was going to be worth it with the unique premise, and intriguing mystique they set up in the first 3 hours.After going through the game, I fucking regret I was remotely invested in the narrative.I don't even wish for a good story, it was so bad I just wished they ended the game without explaining anything.
>>739815551
The last 3 missions of Thief 1 are total ass and basically becomes a different game (for the worse). Last few missions in Thief 2 are pretty crap too
>>739801630You're shit.

>>739826630I think I emulated it, but by that time I was also playing moded versions with all three regions together and hg/ss including. I remember back then it was such a blessing thinking the company SHOULD do this, now I just see it as a greedy corp that exploits the nostalgia.

>>739827409They're part of the CIA's Bad Games Initiative. Ever since the waterboarding debacle they've been on the lookout for more effective methods of "humane" torture. Don't believe me? How else do you explain MOBA
>>739825946Sounds like a group of friends (women likely) defending their awful friend who has hurt feelings.>>739794215Yeah im going to target the weak player instead of chasing a giga juicer sorry lol!!!Im also going to slug since they have dead hard and 3 other abilities! Also getting buffed when allies get hooked/unhooked!Slugging is the way.
>>739811679NahI felt like when you hard-on goes limp because of something disgusting, that's what happened to me. I didn't even bothered to try to finish the introduction parts of that because I hated it so much.
>>739793910Basically any extraction shooter. Once ypu get all the best gear and a copy of the gear, and a copy of that copy youre basically dicking around for no real reason or running gimmicks>just play the game dont worry about the loot/gear/goals to aim forPart of the game aimed around loot is the goal of loot.
>>739803279LoLGTA V
>>739798720I enjoyed the game fundamentally but left as it genuinely has the most entitled tantrum community possible. The only way i can summarize the community is infantilizedIf you play to win, or dont waste time curtailing to their arbitrary rules not enforced in the actual game, they freak out.They refuse to learn anything ever and shame people who do put stupid amount of hours into the game.They have playground tribalism and take everything as a personal attack. They change their name to attention seeking memes or broadcasts, then get mad if you check out their stream.If they win, they have to waste minutes of their own time tauntingIf they lose they will waste more time stalling and spiting than they did playing the game.They will queue for survival minutes just to ragequit at the slightest inconvenence to the detriment of everyone else, only to repeat this in a cycle.There are no greater manchildren (in gaming at least) than the people who still choose to play dbd.
>>739793910Basically every fromsoft game ever made except Sekiro.
>>739793910Warframe
>>739793910Palworld, when the grinding starts and you have to mindlessly catch 10 copies of each shitter just to level up. The fights are also extremely boring.
>>739793910Bravely Default.The last quarter of the game is pure padding, you have to do 4 laps around the world going to the same locations and fighting the same 4 boss fights just with +10k more HP this time, and the story goes full retard and becomes some 4th wall breaking nonsense.The shit cherry on top is that if you break the cycle you get the bad ending, you instead have to play into the villain's hand like a retard and keep looping over and over.
>>739793910Every souls game but especially elden ring
>>739793910path of exile.I quit when I hit shit. Many didn't.
>>739794667>>739796110I left during legion, as soon as Argus happened.
>>739820379add a 5 to the end of that and I agree. The open world and making the game control like a real game was a really cool departure from the other games until you realise that every single mission was a different flavour of "go in and extract a thing"
>>739835157Nope, 5 was diamonds all the waybut MGS1 really shits the bed with pal key and rex at the end (liquid shit)
>>739821410It's not about being generous or not it's about the gameplay being bottom of the barrel garbage which is apparent from the start
>>739793989>Cool characters, designs, and setting
>>739794215It's not weird at all the moment you realize how these people define gameplay.They define it as: 'I get to do the things I want'.Not: 'I struggle to do the things I want', 'I adapt on the fly to do things adjacent to what I want', or 'I do something other than what I want to stay in the game'.Just 'I get to do the things I want'.The moment you realize that and the corollary, that anything that gets in the way of them doing the things they want is 'bad gameplay' to them, is the moment that everything will click as to why they complain. Getting bulldozed out of the game instantly while the counterplay lies in the other survivors, why people bitch about Blue decks incredibly hard in Magic the Gathering, whining about Mesmers in Guild Wars, people getting insanely butthurt at getting rushed or cheesed in RTS games, raging at being counterpicked in whatever flavor of MOBA they played, butthurt over zoners in fighting games, and so on? All the same root problem. They don't have the same definition of gameplay as you.This is also why Sirlin fundamentally misunderstands the scrub
>>739836372Not him but yeah? They are pretty cool. Occult noir is an interesting setting and they look interesting. I will say the launch, hero labs, and first batch of 6 characters are better than the most recent batch of 6 (except for maybe venator).
>>739798720I unironically enjoy the Chinese mobile knockoff of it more, except for the part where their stupid fucking netcode advantages Brazilians and every single fucking server hopper known to man.
>>739793910India level in Hitman WoA, map so disgusting I gave up trying to 100% it.sewers and labs of REmake 2mgs1 color changing cardmgs3 the cave, the river section, the fear boss fight, granin section, the end/ocelot unit, the prison escape/tunnels, the sorrow. i've beaten this game so many times i just wish i could skip these and get to the parts i like. I feel like these parts just destroy the flow of the game and undermine it's mechanics.mgs4 first 2 levels are excellent, rest is like the parts of mgs3 i want to skip, they ruin the flow and undermine its mechanics.Ghost Recon Future Soldier, forced action sequencesSplinter Cell Conviction, too many little things that add up to a big pile and makes the game not as enjoyable as the other entries, or blacklistSplinter Cell Blacklist, fps sections, no Ironside, the forced action sections, random bugs that can ruin your ghost run, not sure if they've patched ithalf life 2 and episodes, any section that has drivingTomb Raider 3, londonJak2, 3 and Batman Arkham City, shitty open world, only good stuff are the levels that take place outside the world map.Sly cooper 3, too many mini games and talking, no clue bottlesKingdom Hearts games, the gummi ship sectionswatch_dogs 2, the story, writing charactersgameplay is actually pretty fun
Every ARPG. You think it's cool adventure game but turns out it's just 1 ability spam one eye on the game and other eye on youtube/twitch dopamine slop. But many people have fetish for shit so they gladly stay.

>>739839954>Xenosaga trilogyHaving played it last year, it's kinda true. I'd say the vast majority of Episode 3 was very worth it though, not just the end. It's just that you have to get through episode 1's mediocrity and episode 2's SHIT to get to 3's godliness.
>>739827509at least the gameplay was ok
>>739802714yeah i thought this game was overhated on /v/
>>739839954>Reservoir dogswatand also halo 4 is shit all the way through so it doesn't qualify
Raft. I didn't vibe with it. Wanted more after playing Subnautica but it's not anywhere near it.
>>739795682This and they're also constantly adding random crap to the game that doesn't really mesh well with anything making it kind of completely pointless to even build a vehicle or a corvette because it's all so janky your corvette ends up just hovering 20m above the landing pad.
All games are terrible towards the end, some more than others, But they all have the same problem of being redundant in the formula.The most fun part is at the beginning and in the middle or a little bit in the middle, where you learn the mechanics and upgrade/level up your character. and in online games is the same, the moment the playerbase go for "the meta" It becomes more work than a fun time.The whole "the game gets better after the first 20/50 hours, trust me" is false and made by onepiecefags
>>739793910Breath of the Wild
>>739847251>All games are terrible towards the endNo, some games know how to fucking end before the devs run out of ideas.
>>739793910DMC 5 vs those 2.5 missions that are IMPOSSIBLE to SSS on DMD/thread
Path of Exile.I beat the main campaign, did half a dozen maps and then realised I'd seen 98% of what the game had to offer and that the other 2% wasn't worth grinding for hundreds of hours.The systems stopped being fun to learn or understand.

>>739793910MorrowindThe hortator questlines are where pacing goes to fucking die in a hole, which is a shame because the Urshilaku burial grounds -> Ilunibi -> Tel Fyr -> Kogoruhn stretch is actually really good and fun.Tribunal fucking SUCKSBloodmoon fucking SUCKS but less than Tribunal
>>739794215All multiplayer horror properties are filled with women and trannies. Try playing Outlast Trials sometime. It's the same fucking thing but worse because the game has voice chat.
>>739853613I fucking hate Korea tilting games towards 'skill expression' so fucking much. It ruins every game when devs start catering to these pieces of shit.
Ok but what game makes you feel like this?
>>739793910Caves of Qud. The game is so obtuse and exhausting past the first initial quest. Honestly, any games that have superbosses as the final boss are atrocious. Octopath traveler has this issue too.
Darkwood. As soon as "Act 1" ended I dropped the game.
>>739853832I actually quite like the outlast trials, it probably helps that it isnt pretending to be Esports
>>739796197Because he knows the diamond cartels are going to fuck him over, and even if they don't diamonds are now so devalued he would be better off selling cubic zirconium.
>>739839954Truth nuke!!!
>>739854287I'm so fucking pissed what they did to ThisVid. Such a fucking shame.
>>739854334The game is fun for running the trials maybe a couple times at most. However 80% of the people I queued into were women/fags/trannies. Somehow playing the game for hundreds of hours and STILL being bad at the game.
