It's a very fun game and I'm loving every minute of it. I love the whole early 70s mundane atmosphere way better than the exciting 80s atmosphere Gun went for with F13.
I can definitely agree with you on how games will probably devolve in to speed runs. Right now, I feel like family kill rates are pretty high mainly because as a survivor it's pretty easy to get lost and not know where to go on the maps, and time is certainly against the survivor because of the passive bleed out and grandpa. But once people begin to learn maps, where objectives and edits are, I feel like it's going to swing hard the other way. Or, as Sledge said, turn in to basically speed runs for both sides. But so far it has been fun; it's refreshing to see something other than 1v4 in this genre.
Sledge, I think the reason lvl 3 killer has way cooler and stronger abilities is because when people get higher level victims will have an edge and it is to fix this. With a lvl based match making you where victims are at a disadvantage they will have most of the power so it is a way to correct the low skill curve and top skill curve in these games or at least I felt that way which is honestly smart development.
I don’t blame people for doing it all, use whatever means you can to escape. I think that’s kinda why there’s 3 Family members and 4 objectives; Victims are meant to attack the one objective that Family members aren’t guarding. Just so happens that on Family House that’s usually the Fuse Box lol
@Sledge The game can be repetitive for sure, but DBD even that has way more licenses and more skills, i find the gameplay loop very anticlimactic. In TCM the chases can really be addictive, for both teams. And I genuinely think the games is too fresh to jump to conclusions about it’s life time, all the things that you mentioned ( and they’re true) in the first two weeks post launch, could easily be said about DBD when it first launch. Im sure this games has a lot to offer in the near future. We now have only one license, few maps, few mechanics and it still manages to be THAT FUN. I cant wait to see what comes next.
Looking forward to your Texas Chainsaw content! I’ll also miss the Evil Dead videos, but to be fair, even if you wanted to make more content for that game there really isn’t anything to talk about right now, as Saber hasn’t done anything with the game in the past three-four months, other than a balance patch that came out three days ago that quite honestly was pretty underwhelming. This game is probably gonna become my main asym going forward if Evil Dead doesn’t get out of the rut it’s currently in right now.
Wish there was maybe a ranking for skill I feel like being new and playing against family members who are really good suck or the opposite playing family and the victims escape fast.
I guess because originally they wanted both to start the match off, like it did in the tech test. The idea being that it would force cooperation by ensuring the two non-Leatherface family split up and turn them on. But I think with testing they figured out that new players just won’t know/will forget to do it and it can give away free escapes + it takes too much time to do it and costs Family setup time (especially if you’re playing someone who needs time to setup, like Hitchhiker and Cook). Why they decided to change the generator and not the car battery? I have no idea lol
@SledgeTube I mean a majority of my games where I lose to a Connie or zerg rushing victims. It's always rear exit being ignored. I know their main focus is too have fun and not be competitive. But the goal remains, nobodys gonna have fun with matches lasting a few seconds cause leatherface lost Connie once in the basement. Basements really just like 0.1% of the game for people that understand the exit placements. Hoping something gets changed where it's actually a punishment to go back down
Love your videos. However, it’s super disappointing you won’t be posting anymore evil dead content. You were my favorite evil dead RU-vidr to watch. I enjoy playing asymmetrical horror games as well but got tired of dbd. I only like playing survivor side and it’s much more enjoyable on evil day because your not just running for you life all match. If they could just improve solo play with more information for survivors like dbd I think that would fix most of the issues and actually compete with dbd.
I dont agree about the repetive nature. Evil Dead was just if not more repeteive, espcailly for farming. I hate the evil dead skill trees, and i woulkd rather have 'boring' numbers as you call it, then stuyff that makes a huge differnce
