  • It's extremely close.

    I would like an extension on the Saw franchise license: Hoffman as the Pig, for example.

    But I suppose Halloween would be good. We could have Dr Loomis as a new survivor. Annie and Lynda has Laurie skins. Also include 2018 Michael and Laurie skins. And maybe add Haddonfield Memorial Hospital or Smiths Grove as a map.

    This is approaching lauch-day Battlefield 4 levels of bad.

    I'm not familiar with that game, but this is certainly a sad state of affairs.

    I have been robbed of the Nemesis Adept due to the new bugs. It's simply tragic.

  • I had one crouch at a pallet and go back forward...until I set a trap one side and the dope slide in to it.

    I also thought it was amusing how they crouch when wanting a heal.

    This game needs a full bot mode. And if it had full custom...I would be one happy customer.

  • Playing as Nemesis on PS4 is a painful, ridiculous experience. Honestly, the game is more broke than ever. This is it, the very worst in terms of playability.

    I've had so much lagging, juddering and survivor teleportation it's just sad. What a bloody disaster.

  • Yeah. Started 5 mins ago.

    I'm off to bed though. Night.

  • I would definitely like to see a murderous robot chapter.

    Ash vs Evil Dead, it's not memorable, there's no killer, there's no map, and the perks are garbage. I literally keep forgetting Ash is even in the game and I don't like playing him.

    This was another iffy addition to DBD. Like Leatherface, it could of been so much more with a full chapter.

    We'll have to wait for the Evil Dead game for the full experience.

    On a side note, I feel Ash vs Evil Dead was more miss than hit and the original Evil Dead films weren't classics.

  • @WexlerWendigo said:

    I haven’t seen Ash outside of DBD, so I won’t include him. My least favourite license of DBD is Texas Chainsaw Massacre, I am a huge horror fan and absolutely despise almost every aspect of that movie.

    How about everyone else?

    Whilst I don't despise it, I am of the opinion that TCM is vastly overrated.

    Some of the scenes with Leatherface (hammer/door slam for example) are good, but overall it has a mediocre feel. It's honestly nothing special. Films like TCM were and are 10 a penny. I prefer the 2003 Wrong Turn to TCM.

    As for my 'worst' license...I suppose it would be Left 4 Dead. I'm a playstation user and have never played a L4D game.

    But I am well informed with the others included. I would say from the remaining licences, A Nightmare On Elm Street. The remake is a weak film.

  • They need to just put in full custom bots.

    Would definitely up the overall fun factor.

  • I almost did. Got 27k+ BP sliver/red/red/red.

    The chaser is an issue.

    Lol. I wonder if that could have been me. I got adept Jill because I got to the hatch literally a split second before Nemesis by pure luck. He seemed to know exactly where the hatch was, I didn’t and it opened within hearing distance. Were you at the Yamaoka Estate?

    No it was McMillan.

  • I'm still playing relatively well regardless of current crapfest that is DBD PS4.

    It's a pity because this chapter honestly looked pretty good.

  • I'm sure Mr X and og Tyrant will be making an appearance at some point.

  • It's a shame because this actually looks quite ambitious (unlike the Trickster chapter) but the delivery has been a train wreck.

  • I have all previous Adepts but agree Killer Adepts should be simply 4k using their unique perks. The end.

    All this sodding about to get the right level of emblems is a load of hickory smoked buttock meat.

    I nearly got Adept Nemesis...but the little darling got the hatch.

    But Adept Nemesis is definitely doable. It'll just take time. On a positive note, It will be a good opportunity to practice with the killer....that's if this the awful ps4 lagging and teabag-clickers don't ruin the experience.

    Why is PS4 more laggy than Xbox? On my side I don’t experience that much lag. Sometimes it lags and my game freezes but I heard it’s worse on PS4

    I'm not sure. It's definitely worse with the update. Nemesis seems to be a real mess.

  • Agreed.

    This along with the toxic morons are really spoiling the overall experience. It's just plain sad.

  • PS4 is woeful. Absolutely woeful. Playing as Nemesis, the constant juddering and lag has cost me chases and very likely the Adept.

    Highly irritating.

  • I agree regarding the fun crew.

    The lag on ps4 is bad enough, but the lad party have made the experience far more painful. Thanks guys 🤗

    £9.49 well spent.

  • Absolutely agree.

    My experience on PS4 with Nemesis has been utterly horrid thus far.

    Welp. The only counter to remove keys is gone. Very cool devs.

    Oh seriously?

    This is ridiculous.

  • I would be much happier if:

    a) Killer Adepts were just 4ks.

    b) There was an offline mode/bots.

    c) There were more online modes.

  • Midwich. Just depressingly crap.

    Not a fan of the swamp either.

    Ah, that's a shame. I don't think the main point of Soma was to be scary - It did have some scary sections, but the game was all about plot and atmosphere. It's kind of like DBD in that it takes place in a horror setting and it can certainly scare you from time to time, but that's also more of a secondary draw of the game. I don't mean to imply that Frictional was ignoring that side of things either, because they clearly weren't; I just mean that telling a compelling story was the game's main strength and probably the devs' biggest focus.

    There's a "Safe Mode" setting for people who don't really enjoy the monster encounters but still want to experience the story and environments, so that might have made the experience better for you!

    Yeah I heard about the 'safe mode', but was quite a bit through the game at that point.

    I think that's what I wanted with the game: a chance to explore and enjoy the story instead of constantly hiding etc.

  • @[Deleted User] said:

    It's gotta be Soma.

    This is if I'm leaving out everything I have too much nostalgia for to evaluate fairly, though. If not, SSX Tricky and Sly Cooper really need to be in the conversation.

    I think I'm one of the few people that disliked Soma, and I played it to the end. I thought it started off well, but I ended up not enjoying it. I found the enemies more annoying than scary. I just wanted to get the game over and done with.

  • Time for an afternoon kip...

    I honestly kind of find it funny that someone with a No Mither pfp is shaming No Mither.

    There's a reason I use No Mither as an avatar:

    A couple of years ago, I kept enquiring about the then-broken 'Wounded Healer' (heal other survivors whilst injured) trophy on PS4. After several months and minimal feedback, it got fixed.

    In order to qualify for the injured state, I would equip No Mither. It made for several tedious matches, many of which didn't count due to the bug. But finally...it got sorted.

    I kept No Mither as my avatar as a reminder of my intrepid quest.

  • You make groans...it's noisy...you are down in one...you are a burden on your team...you instantly contribute to some killer perks...the killer knows you can keep getting up...it's a trash perk.

  • I actually like this idea.

  • He looks slightly more inbred.

  • Friday 13th: The Game.

    And I'm a older gent. Manhunt and GTA V are big favourites too.

  • @miketheratguy said:

    We've all heard of Freddy, Jason, etc. But what about those underdogs of horror? Whether the characters from these movies would fit in this game or not, which are some of your favorites that always seem to go forgotten and unmentioned?

    For me:

    • The Descent. DAMN good horror movie, one of the best of the last couple of decades in my opinion. If you haven't seen it, do yourself a favor and get a copy. Just make sure that it's the uncensored international version. The ending of the American version literally just cuts off the final scene, and the movie is much worse for it.
    • Puppet Master. Yes, they made 907 films in this classic direct to video Full Moon series, but the first few were actually creative and pretty fun. Number 3, in particular, was a highlight. If only we could somehow get Blade, Torch, Pinhead and Tunneler in this game!
    • The Gate. An awesome, crazy movie about two kids who accidentally open a portal to Hell in their backyard by playing a metal album backwards. Ah, the 80s. Notable for its creature design, spooky set pieces and remarkable (for the time) Harryhausen-esque stop-motion effects, The Gate is a really fun, satisfyingly creepy horror film.
    • Frankenstein. Yes, everyone knows who Frankenstein is (well actually they apparently don't, since most people still erroneously think that that's the name of the monster, NOT the man who created it), but I wonder how many people are actually really familiar with the story. It's an excellent piece of work, about an ambitious man studying human anatomy who cobbles together a living being so grotesque that he rejects it out of horror and regret, leaving the creature to try to survive and understand the morality of his "father" as well as that of his own existence.
    • The Brood. A woman telepathically controls a horde of creepy little dwarf-children things who run around in snowsuits and kill people with mallets. Disturbing early Cronenberg.
    • The Thing (1982). One of the greatest sci-fi horror films ever made. Just watch it.
    • Pumpkinhead. Why does everyone forget Pumpkinhead? LOOK at that thing!!!
    • One Dark Knight: Just a mausoleum full of rotting, floating cadavers flying around. That's all.
    • Willard (2003). Not the original, but the better version all the same. Crispin Glover totally owns the role of a disturbed loner who has no one but an army of rats as his friends. I would love to see this guy in DBD.
    • Phantasm. The Tall Man needs more representation. Who's with me?
    • The Witch (2016). Tragically underrated. It's not so much a traditional horror movie as a serious, increasingly dark depiction of an early English family of Christians unraveling in the apparent absence of their god. Profoundly well acted and beautifully filmed, this is a movie (like Hereditary) which was amazing, but developed a poor reputation because of misleading marketing.
    • Bone Tomahawk. Kurt Russell (always great) and a posse from an old Western town embark on a quest to save some citizens kidnapped by a group of mute cannibals living in the mountains. A weird hybrid between drama and horror and also a very slow burn, this movie is nonetheless strangely hypnotic.
    • Session 9. An asbestos-clearing crew pushes themselves to exhaustion trying to clear out Danvers State Hospital (a real abandoned mental asylum, which was the actual filming location). Bad things ensue.
    • The Ritual. A group of friends take a hike in beautiful, picturesque woods. Bad things ensue there, too. Nice to see a movie with something in the woods that's not just a witch.
    • Basket Case. Similar to the Twins, yes, this is nonetheless a must-see B movie for the ages. It's a wonderfully sleazy movie about a man who was forcibly separated from the deformed mutant half-twin that was born growing out of his side, and their mission to get revenge on the doctors who separated them.
    • Jacob's Ladder. More thriller than horror, but there are moments that are guaranteed to creep you the hell out AND make you jump. Do you wish that there were more horror movies where the scares weren't telegraphed and could come out of absolutely nowhere when you least expect it? This is the movie for you.
    • The Deadly Spawn (AKA Return of the Alien's Deadly Spawn). A gloriously cheesy 80s movie cashing in on the "gnarly monsters from space" trope, this one's about a hideous, massively-fanged Venus flytrap-like thing hiding in a basement and growing exponentially larger with each kill.
    • Critters (and Critters 2, the superior sequel). A cross between E.T. and the alien invasion story that inspired it (The Kelley / Hopkinsville incident). Good fun.
    • Hereditary. Accept that it's not a traditional jumpscare / monster horror film and more of a careful, deliberately paced study of a woman slowly, apparently(?) losing her mind and allow yourself to stand in awe of Toni Colette's performance, among the greatest ever committed to film. There are, however, some moments that will definitely make your skin crawl.
    • Don't Look Now. A stark film about grief. With a moment that....well, you'll know it when you see it.
    • House / House II, The Second Story (80s): Slightly in the vein of Evil Dead II, this is a pair of movies that are as corny and fun as they are spooky. They're about the freaky things that happen inside...yes, a house.
    • Krampus: The ultimate complement to Gremlins.
    • 28 Days Later: A typically intense, in your-face Danny Boyle film, the one that basically put him on the map. It's about a horrific worldwide pandemic and the desperation of a tiny group of survivors to find hope. Has NOTHING to do with zombies, despite even the back of the video case saying that it does.
    • Eraserhead. Ehhhhh.....You'd just have to see it.
    • Re-Animator. A deft blend of horror and comedy. Thoroughly entertaining on both fronts.
    • Killer Klowns From Outer Space. Delivers exactly what it says on the tin.
    • Things. I'm just kidding. This is one of the most hilariously inept films ever made. See it and laugh. Hard.

    Good list.

    The Ritual doesn't get enough love. Enjoyed that.

    I was a fan of Puppet Master 2 as a youngster, but after part 3 they're utterly appalling.

    Some films I like that don't get the recognition they deserve:

    HOSTEL: The thing I love about this film is that every scene counts. There are no duds. There is foreshadowing all over the place. It's a fantastic film. One of my favourites. The sequel had it's moments but wasn't a patch on the original. The third chapter was poor.

    MANIAC COP: There isn't much to it, but it's been a guilty pleasure since I was a child. Simple but fun.

    DARK NIGHT OF THE SCARECROW: Another film I saw as a child, and it absolutely terrified me. It has a creepy atmosphere and doesn't reply on gory kills.

    CLOWN (2014): A great film. Guy puts a clown suit on...and it won't come off. He then starts to change. Worth a watch.

    THE REEF: This was a brilliant film. After The Shallows, this is the best shark film since Jaws.

  • It's a perfect counter for gen rush when using killer who have limited map pressure.

    It's fine.

  • Clown, because it's very realistic.

  • Evil by design. A product of his environment. His mental instability being the main factor. As a result, he is easily influenced and acts on instinct.

    However, if you watch the alternative ending to Leatherface (2017)...that's pure evil. Highly disturbing.

  • Add the ability to tombstone kill survivors straight from locker.

  • Blight. Nurse. Oni. Deathslinger.

    I suck with all these guys.

  • Like the "Salt Mines" from Friday 13th? It could work, if the player could be rehabilitated along the way and earn their way back to normal games.

  • No. All systems.

  • It think it's the two floors and multiple layering etc. All seems like a hike.

  • A year later, and I still haven't fully mastered the structure of Midwich. But the last few licenced maps (RCPD, Midwich and Hawkins) have been all rather large.

  • I think he could do with some better add-ons, at least.

  • Starstruck is a good perk but is highly situational. Nothing is guaranteed. Good for stun challenges and expert/troll stunners.

  • I go with corrupt, surveillance, nurse's call and bbq.

    Corrupt obviously reduces the amount of available gens at the match start. Pig can then stalk patrol the remaining open gens.

    Surveillance is obviously the Pig's most handy perk and one of the most important for killers overall.

    Nurse's will allow you to creep up silently to a healing survivor and strike. Especially good for tracking down freshly dash-attacked victims.

    BBQ will assist with tracking your next target and give some extra bloodpoints.

    I usually get a good game with this build.

  • Myers.
