I Feel Like Consoles Need Some Love.

By that I mean with sensitivity, frame rate ect. But the biggest thing I notice especially in recent events (aka nurse change) is that as a PC and someone who casually plays console, some killers feel really hard to play... Now most just require more time then would be required to learn on PC and that's okay but there is a real outlier here. Nurse, she was playable before she was changed however almost nobody on console could but it was still optimal if you took the time. I tried playing her on console for the last week and it just feels like consoles need some sort of tweak regarding certain killers because god Nurse feels terrible to play on console. I don't have fun playing nurse on PC because of the tweaks either but I'll live with that. You just shouldn't have a killer that is basically there to torture yourself and is just literally unplayable on that platform. Which is why some sort of console specific tweak should happen in my opinion.

    That's why I said multiple XD. But yes I agree I've noticed console legion sucks because of how console is.

    And that’s why cross progression is a good thing. You can play on w\e you want. You could upgrade to a pc at some point and keep all your buys and hard work.

    Did they implement that yet? I'm guessing not :/. I just don't think even then the solution to having a killer that is literally unplayable by 90% of the community is to just upgrade to PC. Sure I can just go back and play on my PC since I just usually do stuff like KYF since most my friends just play console it doesn't matter when I'm playing killer. But it just feels wrong to tell people "well you just gotta upgrade to PC if you want to play what you want to"

    Console needs love? Understatement. Console needs a director who can oversee the importance of the issues at hand and find solutions to the core problems of what make console less desirable to play in the first place.

    As for Nurse, I agree and disagree at the same time. For red ranks, you will now only see Billy, Ghost Face, and Spirit (who knows for how long). I’ve tried the new nurse on console, I’ve challenged myself to her on the most difficult maps. Would I say she’s nerfed? Absolutely. Would I play her against a strong 4 man this time around? Absolutely not. She will gather dust while survivor queue times increase. Here she is with my results after her nerf. Keep in mind this was more frustrating for me than it was “fun”.

    Yea, I'm aware she is playable and can still get kills. Just saying as you have said yourself it's frustrating and not fun at all, while I can still get 4ks and you can as well. Most of the community if not almost the entirety already can't play her. I'd love if Consoles could get someone to oversee the issues ect. But I doubt you guys will get that :/

    Edit: I also chose to use Nurse as one of my main points about console due to the fact that almost everyone except the most dedicated can't play her due to how the current state of console is. She is a perfect example of how some things are completely unfun and frustrating for everyone.

    The fact is thou consoles have limitations.

    only so much you can do.

    and I do not know what limits ps4 and x box have I’ve seen a game drop it’s console ports for pc only cause the game that was a ps2 game first exceeded what the ps2 and Xbox 360 could handle.

    i hope they can get you all 60 FPS.i just don’t know

    I always get frame drops when notifications pop up, as killer or survivor. Very serious ones too, like a full second of the screen just being frozen. Gotten me killed quite a lot as survivor when you get hit, Sloppy procs, and you end up somehow reversing your camera and running back INTO the killer despite not having touched the control stick at all. And as killer I whiff so many attacks because I get Bloodlust at that EXACT moment.

    Performance/optimization should be top priority for consoles. I want the game to run at 60 FPS smooth no matter what. And don't give me this "your console can't handle it" BS because Gears 4/5 runs at 60 FPS 1080p flawlessly on my Xbox One X, probably better than majority of PC's out there. It's not the platform that's the problem, it's the game.
