Is this the worst chapter in DbD?
In terms of optimization and bugs this chapter is far worse than binding of kin in my opinion. It's damn near unplayable in console. At least I could play the twins without constant frame drops and lag spikes. Also Nemesis feels pretty weak. I don't really understand why anyone would pick him over Pyramid Head, but I'm still new with him. Only thing I like is the blast mine and flashbang from Jill and Leon, other than that this is imo the worst chapter they've ever released.

I do not remember it was which chapter but pallet stun bug was worst and annoying. I died so many times because of this stupid bug.

The update itself is the worst in dbd, but the chapter itself is fine.

I think it was a mid chapter and that was frustrating. I think it happened around the same time as the hook bug for killer

The bugs and performance issues are due to the update, not the chapter
The chapter is amazing, two great survivors with two awesome legendary skins, and a very very fun killer.
Worst chapter is probably binding of kin

But twins actually turned out to be good and elodie had some fun perks.

No way in hell is it the worst chapter ever made. The issue here is the update, not the chapter, as others have said.
In my opinion, 4.5.0 is the worst update BHVR has ever sent out in terms of bugs (Clown rework was good tho IMO), and A Binding of Kin being the worst chapter ever sent out.
I think Nemesis is really fun to play as, and the perks this chapter has introduced are really unique.

Twins turned out to be good after a long time of learning and a very unfun playstyle. Elodie however I agree with.

There are obviously bugs which, I think it's fair to say, the devs did not anticipate.
The chapter itself? Worst ever? Seriously???

I guess i have some prejudice against that chapter because of how it was on release
Overall i like all the chapters, they brought something to the table that i liked, my least favourites would probably be binding of kin, all kill and flesh of mud (not including paragraphs)

What did All-Kill bring aside from a moderately decent new survivor?

Are we forgetting Trickster? Or are we pretending that didn't happen still?

trickster isn't the worst, so far nemesis is in my book, next to twins

🤔
I see

Remember that this was a licensed chapter and making sure the patch quality is high is very important. Now imagine how bad it would have been if it wasn't licensed.

I think trickster is relegated to the Jar Jar Binks pit of forgotten despair.
I don't recall it ever happening and I'm happier for it.

I actually like Trickster.

Lol the servers just went down.

Nah A Binding of Kin was 100% the worst

I love trickster

This.
All-Kill was, in my opinion, the worst chapter.
-Okay-ish survivor, but nothing especial about her.
-Terrible killer, which doesn't even fit the game.
-No new map.
4 -
It was a breath of fresh air in my opinion, art wise at least. I think Trickster is far more interesting to play than nemesis.

Well, if you somehow liked it more power to you. I know I hated it.
1 -
When you say stuff like this, it doesn't even feel like you're even saying anything about the chapter. More like you're just letting everyone know this is the first chapter release you've been around for.
TBH, even the people saying All-Kill and BoK just makes me think they weren't playing back during Flesh and Mud i.e. the chapter that actually nearly killed the game.

I've been playing since around the time Clown released lol. Got over a thousand hours in the game.

Well, I wasn't. I am talking about my own experience, which started when Darkness Among Us released. Out of every chapter I've seen, All-Kill was the worst.

He's being an elitist

I don't think so. They are just talking about their own experience, same as I.

The chapter itself no, an iconic horror game featuring a classic killer and 4 of the most anticipated survivors from that franchise, yeah the design team produced the best work this time.
The balance team however have so much they need to improve on. FPS drops, console optimisation and changes to killers who are in need of it (although that one can get pretty heated because it's subjective so I won't go into that much).
0 -
Surprisingly not, that belongs to either A Binding of Kin, or Darkness Amogus.
0 -
No. The same thing has been asked/said about virtually every chapter.
1 -
Everything art and design wise is amazing. But I feel like almost everything else is poor. Killer power is just meh, PH is better, and the bugs just broke the game for me entirely. But I will agree the art team did fine

LOL Jar Jar is a great comparison, as I myself don't accept that the Disney trilogy is canon. I legitimately just don't. It's poor fan fiction written by someone who had their own plans that were not those of the person who created the property to begin with. Just because they have a contract saying that they own it doesn't mean that I have to accept it as official. I wave off the Disney trilogy and I'm actually a much happier person for it.
I've tried to do the same with Trickster (to the extent of not even buying him, lol) but sadly I still face players who want to remind me of his miserable existence.

Disagree. Nothing will ever be as bad as binding of kin. I remember there was a discussion made after that chapter came out listing every new bug that was discovered, and it got to around 160 bugs total. Maybe more. At least the killer and survivors are actually fun with a good set of perks. And Binding of Kin had bugs that literally took away your power completely. I haven't seen that happen with Nemesis, at least he has a working power.
0 -
I mean the whole game went down for a bunch of people this game. Also the fps drop when nemesis uses his power makes him borderline unplayable

Hang on. Let's recap...
You: This is the worst chapter EVER!
Me: No, this one was worse.
You: Elitist.
lol.
1 -
Optimization wise this IS the worst chapter yet
3 -
But that's a problem with the update itself, not the chapter. Fps drops/lag spikes didn't make twins unplayable on launch, in-game bugs did that. In this scenario, it's issues between the platform and update itself. So I can agree this is probably the worst update we've seen in a while, but certainly not the worst chapter.
Also, have you considered that there's a lot going on right now for dead by daylight? 2 new survivors (4 including skins), new killer, everybody wanting the try out the new content all at the same time, new players from resident evil coming into the game, et cetera.
Yes, the devs could've delayed the chapter a bit to try and make sure this doesn't happen. But if they had done that, players would've complained anyway that the devs delayed the chapter. Here's how it goes: Chapter is released on time = players complain about issues, Chapter is delayed = players complain that they don't get what they want when they want it.

You legit said in a condescending way that this was the first chapter I've been around for lol
0 -
It's probably number 2 or 3.
1.) Darkness Among Us (Old Legion plus Ormond)
2.) Resident Evil
3.) A Binding of Kin
0 -
I would rather be able to actually play the game and wait for them to optimize the chapter than whatever is going on with the game. Also they've had an influx of new players with Silent Hill and Stranger thing they should be prepared for this type of situation. Skins shouldn't cause problems at all.
0 -
I always forget Darkness Among Us exists.
0 -
That's probably for the best

Knowing it's the latest chapter,which represents the biggest survivor horror license and their 5th anniversary : Yes, to me, it is the worst release I've ever experienced.

Is this your own footage? If so what's your res and how big are the finished files, if you don't mind me asking? I just play at 720 because my recordings are like 2GB for just an hour of play. Your footage looks buttery smooth (visually) and I'd love my recordings to look that good but I just don't have the space for it.

Yes it is (PS4)
Can you show a clip how it looks on your PC?

Twins took nearly 2 months post release to be good tho. Prior to that she was nothing other than a slugcamp simulator
1 -
I don't think twins was ever bad except for the brief amount of time Victor couldn't hold survivors in lockers. Then to be fair I never experienced the bugs on that killer.
0 -
Sure, here's a brief clip.

I mean, this is more an issue with DBD's code than the chapters. The game wasnt made with the intention to grow much bigger. Nurse was in the works, sure, Myers was a nice addition, but after that? They had no clue it would ever become this big. And it's starting to show more and more with each update. They are essentially piling spaghetti on top of spaghetti at this point. Ofcourse its getting messier with every update.
They did the graphical update which balanced out maps, its now time to go for the coding update, where they recode the main game to be more stable, so that future updates will be clean again.

You got hit with sloppy butcher and didn't get a fat freeze so your PC runs better than my PS4 🤣
