Like Lambs to the Slaughter...
I started playing Darkest Dungeon, to help wean me off of DBD.
I'll be honest, I've been meaning to quit for weeks now, but I'm really wrestling with this addiction.
Anyway, I completed an achievement titled Like lambs to the slaughter... and I thought, "that... perfectly sums up my solo survivor experience."
So of course, now that I'm thinking of DBD, I boot the game up. In 5 games, I see 2 Starstruck Nurses, 2 tunneling Nemis, and 1 HARD camping Deathslinger--we're talking first hook at 3 gens, doesn't care that im doing a gen 20m away from hook with clear LOS, then holds Mikaela in chain seconds before Ace goes to 2nd stage to force the hook state, type camping.
Needless to say, it all comes full circle, and I'm reminded why I'm trying to quit playing DBD.
DBD (or any game, really) is most fun when both sides believe they are capable of winning. BHVR and the Entity are like-minded in that respect; they both feed on a person's hope. I know all-too-well the hopelessness a killer can feel at times, and I don't mean to dismiss it here, but far too often now I feel like cannon fodder as survivor.
I've tracked my own stats, and my stats don't agree with how I feel the game is going. I'll escape more than I'll die, I get a good variety of killers across the week, I see a fairly even distribution of 1k, 2k, 3k, & 4k games, and in less than 10% of my games someone disconnects. So why does this game continue to leave me disappointed?
I believe I've found the answer to that question...
