>DbD

fundamentally kinda fun, but the community is the worst I have ever fucking seen and I mean that with zero exaggeration

>Friday the 13th

looked interesting but they just recently lost a lawsuit against the IP's holder or whatever, which means they can't ever make new content for the game. It's only a matter of time

>Last Year

haven't played it, but Discord store exclusive

>playing with /v/

are you retarded

>One has SJW devs that actively shit on their community

>The other is just meh with at least some effort put into it

Tough choice, was it time already for the weekly thread about this?

They are all pretty meh to be honest. I wish there would be an actual good slasher multiplayer game, but the best one I´ve ever seen is probably White Noise 2 and that´s pretty much dead.

>DBD

One of the worst balanced games I have ever played, and the devs have basically openly admitted they have zero intention of fixing it.

Lots of absurdly overpowered shit thats been around since beta still not nerfed, lots of useless shit not buffed, ect.

>F13

SJW devs, bad, clunky gameplay, ridiculously low amount of content

>Last Year

Gameplay looks just as poorly balanced as DBD, with any team of semi-competent human players being able to just shit all over the killer player.

Havent actually played it myself because >discord exclusive

I only played Friday the 13th, but the only way I can say it is fun is if you have friends who also play it. Because you will spend hours laughing at just how stupidly broken, not unplayable broken but funny broken, the game is.

I'd say that Dead by Daylight is extremely unbalanced, but in a pretty funny way: depending on what you and your oponent has equipped, either it's massively balanced in your favour, or in theirs. From the matches I've played, either the Survivors steamroll the Killer and escape all 4, or the killer snipes everyone in 5 minutes. Occasionally, there's that one match where by some miriacle shit is balanced, the killer is a serious threat but the survivors aren't push overs. Maybe 2 or 3 guys get away, hurt and injured, and they had to work for their generators, but it was a fun match.

I'd prefer they balanced the game more so I'd have this sort of match more times, but looking at the other matches as the game currently is… it's not bad either. This kind of crappy balance is like two blind guys playing rock paper scissors, it makes the game unpredictable and I guess that's all I wanted from it.

Feels great shitting on people that DEMAND to win every game though.

We have this thread once a month every month.

>Dead By Daylight: Actual good game but suffers from some balance issues. This is the best game in this asymmetrical genre without question. Not a jaw dropingly good game. Everything else is just shit at best and a ironic nightmare at worst.

>Friday the 13th: Literal dead game that shuts down when the server hosting package expires due to losing the license, beyond that the devs are the worse tier of sjw that ban people that beat their gal pals and try to paint their paying customers as psycho rapist pedophiles until they get caught doing it to someone recording the footage and destroy their reputation and the soylent gentry dont play horror games to support them. Fuck them and the one shill the game has on here

>Last Year: looks good, great cheesy tone but its literally a left 4 dead mod with reskins of the special infected. It has one map, one mode and killer is pointless since players can make stunlock items and shockguns out of thin air because early access survival crafting. Announced discord exclusive and no console version ever. Prepurchases so low they pulled a new console port direction out their ass. Just play Left 4 Dead 2's versus mode for a better version of the same experience.

>>15941426

Have you played World of Tanks, by any chance? Sounds like the game for you.

>>15939933

>fundamentally kinda fun, but the community is the worst I have ever fucking seen and I mean that with zero exaggeration

Oh? Care to explain?

>>15941495

Not him, but.

Think of your average group of survivors in any given horror movie.

Now put them in the real world. That's who you're always playing with. And killers tend to be the most egotistical motherfuckers out there

>>15939921

Dead by Daylight is super fucking simple. I don't think there is a game that required less effort to make. It might as well just be a mod for some other game.

Dunno about the rest.

>>15941639

>And killers tend to be the most egotistical motherfuckers out there

Got any funny anecdotes?

>>15941495

I mainly play Killer and see some truly shameful, embarrassing conduct from the Survivors. Broadly they just bitch about everything and I do mean literally everything - perks, items, characters, playstyle, everything. Let me give you an example:

>play as Killer

>playing as Leatherface, widely regarded as one of the worst killers there is

>find a group of two, choose one and chase him

>he starts looping around an obstacle

>looping is a meta strategy where if you run in circles around an item, the killer - who is mechanically designed to be very slightly faster than you no matter what - will waste tons of time trying to get you while your teammates do shit

>this guy knows his loops so i peel off and ignore him, he's clearly above my skill level

>he's teabagging, spamming a flashlight at me, this clearly annoys him

>find his teammates, down one, there's that first guy again, trying to body-block me

>body-blocking is another meta technique where survivors can actually physically block a killer from completing an objective, in this case hanging up the first guy on a sacrificial hook

>drop my victim, cave in second guy's head

>hang him up, hang up the first, kill the other two guys eventually, the game is over

>say "good game" in post-game chat

>that first guy calls me a noskill scrublord faggot shitbag

>other player says "camping lol"

>exit game, the first guy has made a Steam discussion thread demanding that I get banned for "camping"

>he gets banned

This was one round, where nobody cheated or did anything wrong. The amount of people who actively accept teabagging, spamming flashlights at people, bodyblocking or the gay meta shit like running in circles around stuff and just trying to annoy the player whose entire role is to kill everyone else is shocking and it's totally widespread. The lower levels of play were really fun, but if you're even remotely good you'll be matched above them within hours and you'll end up with the angry tryhard metafaggots.

Dead by daylight has a progression system and a core gameplay which encourage people to dumb thousands of hours into it. Every game is something new and theres lots of things to get better at. It strikes the right balance between horror game and arcade game, even though it's a buggy unbalanced shitshow. The other 2 games are kind of fun, but more in a partygame kind of way. The gameplay gets stale extremly fast, and people who have figured out how to exploit the mechanics of the game bully everyone else away.

>>15942107

You know you can't use those shardw to unlock licensed killers, right? Of course you don't. After all that would mean you don't immediately drop your 7 bucks on a dlc the moment they position their ass above your mouth, DbD shill.

>>15942718

I can comnfirm this

I have as The Pig

Once when it was just two survivors who were both wounded I just had fun with it letting one guy take down another and "make progress" before killing them and then putting them back on the hooks. and when one died I just put the other on the hook and stared them down as they died and one guy called me "a sociopath"

it was funny.

>>15942771

>looping is a meta strategy where if you run in circles around an item, the killer - who is mechanically designed to be very slightly faster than you no matter what - will waste tons of time trying to get you while your teammates do shit

Couldn't this be undone by simply doing a 180 and smacking the dude in the face as he comes behind you?

>>15946777

sure, if you are playing against a literal potatoe who lets you do that.

>>15946651

>main ole' Kenny

>hook 3rd survivor

>entity starts struggle phase

>look at claudette trying to sneak up

>shake head in a no and start slowly walking to her

>she runs

>stand next to hooked victim and just nod yes as they struggle

>claudette is teabagging at open gate

>hit them with extreme status effect specced piss jug

>fogged up vision they turn to run but hit one of the two pillars and run in place

>down the fucker

A good multiplayer game lets you make your own fun.

>>15946795

I have the most fun in dbd when I play killer and get to make the life of my enemies as miserable as possible. When people start to flame and berate me for playing in a way they didn't like then thats even better. For some reason many people like to believe that they are entitled to playing against certain styles. Sure, sometimes I get outplayed by survivors and lose pretty badly but that's fine by me. The salt i get to farm every other game makes up for it.

>>15946794

>>15946777

If you run backwards as the killer the survivor won't see your red stain. As you come to the corner of the wall you spin around and smack him. Takes some practice, but it works constantly.

>>15946999

It's a shame to admit the most fun I have with this game is the least interactive.

Iron Grasp, Agitation, Insidious, and BBQ+C/Territorial Imperiative/Monsterous Shrine on Leatherface.

Just saw somebody down and haul them to the basement. Then just stand in a corner stairing at them amd fire up that saw when their buddy comes. If you feel lile pushing buttons more then a couple times Imperative really lets you up your camp game.

The salt is the reward, and it is glorious.

/thread

>>15959838

>Identity V

Sell it to me. What makes it better than the others?

>/threading yourself

Don't.

>>15968474

Right behind you bro.

Not to mention that the trailer made it seem like you wouldn't know who is and who isn't the killer.

I very nearly bought The legion because of the idea that ANYONE could be the killer, but no. that wasn't it. it's just a bunch of shitty teenagers.

>>15968474

I think many were expecting multiple bodies you swap control between like some kind of zapping system.

Meanwhile i'm still waiting on a mockingbird killer dressed like a mannequin that can hide in groups of them that spawn with them on the map.

>>15969570

I think it just proves the same thing about character based games you saw with everything from overwatch to street fighter: make it a waifu and people will pay for it.

Reminder: Huntress and Clown are the top tier fuckers because they throw poison and axes at you motherfucker.

>>15969608

Yeah but.

The pig is so much more fun

>>15957819

NOW

>discord exclusive

You mean, like, the chatting service?

>>15973307

Yes. Discord started its own game store for devs to sell their games through.

>>15939933

this tbh, Friday the 13th is alright. But it's not worth the money that's for sure.

Last year isn't a discord exclusive iirc, but it's only there for now. Eventually it'll be available on steam and shit. hopefully with a multiplayer crack

>>15939987

White noise 2 and damned are the only good multiplayer 1v5 monster games. Which is sad because Damned can be fucking terrifying, white noise not so much but it's fun at least. Shame you can't get more people into a damned game, it'd be unbalanced but it'd be funny too see 50 people all in one game

DBD is good but there's almost no point in playing as a killer because it usually takes a minimum of 10 minutes to get into a match that way, hopefully that will somehow be fixed when they add dedicated servers.

the only major downside is that the devs are literally retarded, for example they limit the in game settings because they're scared of people using specific settings to benefit them gameplay wise.

also DLC doesn't really matter, survivors are all essentially same/just reskins

the DLC killers aren't even that good, they're mainly there to appeal to fans of popular horror movies and only 1 person plays as the killer so it's not like having no DLC will give you any disadvantages. also if it really matters to you the DLC constantly goes on sale for around $5.

I played F13 it was pretty gay and is pretty dead now.

can't comment on the school game, it looks interesting but I won't shill out to discord until I see the game has a growing/lasting playerbase and the game gets a discount, otherwise I'll wait till it's on steam with a discount. from what I've heard though it's more comparable to L4D

>>15942943

simply ebin leddit tier post

>>15969570

>Saying a ball was dropped is a bit of understatement because it felt like it was never picked up. If I was the devs, I think the only way to smooth this over is to completely revamp and redo The Legion to do some sort of legion thing and then take the running fast thing and give that to a new killer, named The Runfaster.

We already have the Hillbilly.

>>15974196

>clown isn't even that good

nigger i will fight you with my piss bottles and wheeze while i do it!

>>15946616

I mean, you really have no reason to buy anyone besides Michael and Piggy. Leatherface is terrible except for BBQ (which you can get out of Shrine) and Freddy is all around awful so you won't miss anything.

>>15992111

This. Playing as Michael is legitimately some of the most fun I have ever had in multiplayer, and the Piggy is fun for placing bear traps on peoples' heads and making cute squeals if you hit her with a pallet

>>15992111

I wish freddy was more fun.

>>16004607

The Doctor got nerfed into the ground, what the fuck are you smoking?

>Doctor's builds rely on Add-on and perk combinations.

>All of his bread and butter perks got reworked and are no longer effective.

>All of his add-ons got changed, therefore no longer combo with each other.

>But they extended the range of his lunge huehuehuehuehuehue.

Trapper.

>Still needs add-ons to be effective.

>Perk changes rendered the good ol fashioned slap and trap pointless.

>Borrowed Time still glitches out on Trapped Survivors.

Wraith.

>Gave him a speed boost to counter Sprint Burst

>Now shits on people who don't use Sprint Burst

>New add-ons are still trash.

>>15974196

10 Minutes? Christ where do you live? I still get 30 minute wait times at high ranks. Then when I intentionally tank my rank, I'm still treated to the same shitty SWF squads AND 30 minute wait times.

>>15992111

Sadly bbq and chilli is the best perk in the game and mandatory in every killer build just for the bloodpoint gains. And good luck waiting for it in the shrine. Throught this games history it was in the shrine only once

>>16004607

>Freddy is planned to get a rework sometime this year, so maybe he wont be the worst killer in the game anymore.

Why is he the worst one of the lot?

>>16018400

Much longer setup time. You need to find players, start to send them to sleep and just hope they dont find each other to slap themselves or intentionally fuck a genny to wake themselves up. Only when they hear the 'one, two freddys coming for you' and the level gets foggy are they in the dream version where you actually exist and can attack them.

Or you just go Hillybilly and fucking retard screech your way across the map, downing survivors in seconds and ending the game in 2 minutes, GG, no re.

>>16018400

In DBD Freddy is just a guy with a knife glove… except he cant touch you while youre awake. He doesnt get canonical reality warping powers while youre asleep, just stabby.

>>16018417

To be fair, it'd be hard as fuck to actually port his canonical powerset (i.e. whatever he wants) into a limited format such as a videogame.

>>15958381

Why do japs love this game so much?

>>16024254

They should have just made him have tangibility in this world because they are already in some weird nightmare-hell-dimension. Should have just gave us a giant fucked up boiler room map and gave freddy something funky like stretchy arms or a glove that crawls along the ground and let him loose without the stupid sandman gimmick.

>>16024812

>They should have just made him have tangibility in this world because they are already in some weird nightmare-hell-dimension.

That's just a discount Wraith.

>gave freddy something funky like stretchy arms or a glove that crawls along the ground and let him loose without the stupid sandman gimmick.

Eh, doesn't feel very nightmare-y.

i've only watched these streaming, but friday 13th looks way more fun

>>16024812

Being the kiddie diddling sandman is his entire character, and all of your suggestions are lame compared to what he actually does to his victims in the movies. If he was given the things he has done as his moveset and when nobody is asleep he can just terrorize you with hallucinations then he'd be way more fun to play.

DBD is fun but unbalanced at higher levels.

The Jason game is literally dead.

No idea about the last one

Perhaps they could help Freddy by making gens only workable while awake, that would make it harder to get awake as survivors

>>16033350

If it has LAN and no/cracked drm it's playable online through hamachi

>>16033337

Then a game could be rendered unwinnable if everyone is asleep and no one is hurt.

>>15968474

Yeah, and they're basically "We didn't get the Scream license so here, have the generic brand", so you should at least get to play as two in a match in a nod to the original movie.

Killer Coop is something that could lead to big laffs and it just seems like so much missed potential.

>>16047342

>Killer Coop is something that could lead to big laffs

That would be unbalanced as all fuck though, just in the Killers' favor.

>>16063718

Well, Behaviour can't really balance the game

if their collective lives depended on it, but adding one or two survivors or turning down the killer's speed until they're forced to do pincer attacks to be effective might work. Maybe that'd even help out queue times.

>>16065086

A year or so ago there was a bug in the game that allowed multiple survivors and killers in a single game, and the generators automatically increased accordingly.

I'm talking 10-15+ survivors in a single game, with 12 generators to complete.

>>15969476

That'd be a neat idea, especially if the gens are always somewhere within these groups so you can't just avoid the flocks

>>15968026

mmmmm its DBD on mobile? thats as far as i can go with selling it
