Amirite?

It doesn't have to make sense, since the Entity's realm is a collection of different world's evils and survivors. It's power is outside that of what we know.

@Raven014 But it's not horror.
@Redcum if you're making fun of what I said in that other post, I don't see why, as it WASN'T confirmed before. Now it is, and I said that it could be cosmetics(which I hoped as again, Stranger Things is a teen drama, not horror). It's not right for the game, but they need more players and more money so I can understand why they would sell out.

The Show is supposed to be a horror show. This game is supposed to be a horror game. I don't get where you get that from.

@PBlackII Told you man, it is weird having a non human killer tho

I definitely do not consider ST to be a horror show. It's more of a pop drama with horror/sci fi elements IMO.
It will reach a much larger fanbase because of this.

let’s see...
”look who’s shitting in the tall grass.”
Ash being from a show that’s a comedy.
Pizza man outfit, cowboy outfit, bright neon clothing, literal fresh prince of bel air inspired outfit, dad bod billy, purple elephant clown.
A morri being a selfie.
I think stranger things not being pure horror isn’t that bad from what we already have.

@Raven014 Stranger Things is not horror in any way. It's teen drama. Every death is an emotional sappy scene, every scene with a monster is an action scene, and most of the show is about romance or kids living their daily lives with an added dose of sci-fi things. If it's supposed to be horror then this world has really gone to the crapper when it comes to the horror genre. As I said before, the only scene that was even close to horror related was Barb's death, and it wasn't even 2 seconds.
@xCarrie Outfits are something not lore related, or game related. They are cosmetics, purely for looking the way you want. Ash is a survivor, I would give them a bit more leeway with that, and I believe for all intents and purposes it was MEANT to be horror. I didn't watch it, but if it was bad horror, that's a different story. A killer(or survivor) can have a sense of humor while still being considered horror, but a show can't be full comedy and be considered horror.

@Atrushan88 Yeah cosmetics aren’t lore based but they’re still in the game. Dbd is labeled as “horror” but seeing a guy running around in a neon tracksuit and a guy in a pizza boy outfit being chased by a girl with a ruler doesn’t really strike horror. Ash vs evil dead is labeled as a comedy so if dbd was all about horror why add something from a comedy show? :/ If you’re going off just looks of the killers which makes the game horror I think seeing a demogorgon would be much scarier then a group of teens.
Just think of it like this. Dead by daylight is supposed to be horror but isn’t. Stranger things is supposed to be horror but isn’t. Win win.

I just hope BHVR doesn't get carried away with all the licenses and we look up and barely have costumes for any licensed character, or our shards are worthless because of many licensed dlc

@DudeDelicious Stranger Things has no horror in it whatsoever though. It has gore, and maybe the occasional jumpscare, but it's a kid's show. I watched horror as a child. I had nightmares of Jason Voorhees chasing me in a field of corn(funny how we have a corn field in DBD). I had nightmares of Freddy and Michael Myers and Chucky terrified me. I have friends whose 3-5 year olds watch Stranger things with them and aren't the least bit scared.

I get what you're saying, in my eyes Horror is something scary like Nightmare on Elm Street, IT, Halloween, The Ring etc. But nowadays Horror is vastly big, did you know Jaws is a horror? Don't Breathe? A Quiet Place? Crawl? The films I listed aren't scary whatsoever but are listed as Horror. If you look at IMDB the genre for Stranger Things are Drama, Fantasy, Horror.

Netflix classifies it as horror.
1 -
Oh you're that guy again who is so narrow minded to think this is a kid's show. Because there is no true horror in it and the lead actors are kids. Sure buddy. have you ever thought this series has a lot going on that keep ALL generations interested? this is not in a MILLION years a kids show, go somewhere else with that bullshit

Jaws doesn't even have hands to go around stabbing teenage girls with. Horror involves a lot more than slashers guys. Jaws kept at least as many people afraid of the ocean as Psycho made people paranoid to take a shower. If you don't get people invested in the characters the horror elements don't mean a whole lot and you're left with shlock. Halloween spent most of the movie showing teens and kids doing things that teens and kids do and then took the less is more approach to the killings compared to even some of the movies at the time. The Lovecraftian horror of the unknown combined with the real life horrors carried out by the collective under governments and corporations in ST is just as valid as the primal unstoppable beast horror you get with slashers and um... Jaws. It might not be your kind if horror but it's horror none the less.

@TAG Let's be honest Netflix has a lot wrong with it other than it's description of Stranger Things as horror. I've even looked up what people classify Stranger Things as, and while some things classify it as horror, the only people who actually describe it as scary are people who are afraid of their own shadow and don't even like to watch horror.
@Jimsalabim It's very kids oriented. Yeah, it's also teen drama, but it is in no way horror. It may not be ONLY a kid's show, but it's definitely as much a kid's show as it is teenage drama, and nowhere near horror.
@JESUS_CHRIST I never said I disliked Stranger Things, and there are many characters in the show I like(meaning I am invested. I mean I've watched all three seasons). That doesn't make me think any more of it being horror than if I hated it. It's not horror. It's teenage drama with kids and sci fi elements. The thing all those movies have in common(and yes, Jaws during it's time WAS scary, but that's because movies weren't like they are now). Again, the only people who actually get SCARED in Stranger Things are people who are so afraid of horror that they don't even watch horror, and are only invested because it isn't really horror. None of the death scenes in Stranger Things are meant to scare anyone, except maybe Barb's, and that was literally the only one. All of the others are either emotional scenes meant to make you go "No don't kill him" much like GoT, people you aren't invested in or don't even know, or heroic scenes in which the person sacrifices themselves to save another. There is gore, and there may be one or two jump scares, the bits that SHOULD be scary are watered down, and even those scenes are so few and far between I could almost forget about the other world known as the Upside Down until they bring it to the conclusion where they bring it all together.

Stranger things gets to be horror, just like Goosebumps gets to be horror.

I'm just gonna repost this:
Horror is very personal. Most people aren't going to find most horror movies scary. There are some universal fears that exist, but those are done so often that you need a twist to really make those classic fears/scares effective.
Most horror is going to be only scary when you pair it with things that the viewer personally relates to and fears at an irrationally higher level (or sometimes personally historically rational).
Fear of diseases, fears of being murdered by a loved one, going crazy, etc.
Horror gets a bad wrap because people treat anything that shows dimension, drama, mystery, thrill, etc. as being of that genre and not involving both.
There is a reason a lot of people say horror movies aren't scary, it's because they aren't watching the ones THEY would find scary. They are simply watching a horror flick that doesn't resonate with the fears of their internal structure.
Also when it comes to the more generalized ones, the most effective fear implementing strategies in horror revolve around more complex systems which aren't really possible to construct in a game like Dead by Daylight in gameplay, but solely in lore.
Being eternally trapped in a death game where you never leave IS TERRIFYING. But we can always set down the controller and make some popcorn before we throw on Clue or Airplane.
It is totally valid to say something doesn't scare you, but it scaring you personally and it being of the horror genre are very different. There are plenty of horror movies that don't feel scary at all but still involve horrifying subject matter.
PS: Goosebumps counts as horror. It is a horror show marketed toward children. Still horror, just tailored for CHILDREN. Both of you are showing you lack like 0 credibility in being able to speak for the horror genre when you think you can eliminate different things you personally don't like from the category. Read a book(or two) on the genre.

Bill is LITERALLY from a shooter game, yet Stranger Things is too far?
2 -
@TheGameZpro3 Was he a chapter? I don't know, I wasn't here for Bill, I didn't play L4D, and I don't really care about him, and I didn't want him when he was coming to PS4, so I mean...
@xmenfanatic Except I've seen kids watching Stranger Things who barely have any experience with horror(and are scared of plenty), not scared of Stranger things. None of the scenes invoke fear, they invoke every other emotion but fear and there's no one who I have met that was actually SCARED of anything in ST. Again, I did research. The only people who find Stranger Things scary are people who are so afraid of horror movies that they don't watch horror, and these people were nervous about watching Stranger Things but actually said "It's not scary enough to stop watching". If this is horror, it's targeted for people who are scared of their own shadow and do not watch horror movies. And with that I have to ask, is it really horror if multiple people who are scared of literally anything are barely scared of it?

Sorry bud, whether you like it or not, it's still Horror. Interdimensional monster killing people in a small town is horror.

@Clogwrench Well, I want Gizmo as a survivor and Stripe as a killer then. (Also that looks like it's straight out of Wikipedia).

I want jeepers creepers. Than I will be satisfied. Demogordan Is a welcome change though.

Sorry, most likely will never happen.
The devs most likely wouldn't want to give him even a penny. plus, fans would be out ragged by this as he gets money, probably not deserved in most eyes.

The developers are just making it up as they go along
I mean this really just describes DBD in it's entirety
The entity can do whatever the developers want it to do to justify the events in the lore it's like the Michael Bay Transformers movies
Billions of retcons
1 -
Don't be one of those guys. One of those people offended by everything, and anything. It's old. It's so old. (I'm not saying you are one of those guys)
I hope the devs are smarter than that.
Also. DBD doesn't need Victors permission. Jeepers creepers is a 1938 book filled with tons of source material. They can basically copy how the monster visually looks in the movie (or really close), because the book covers it in details. They can ask for book rights which Victor definitely has no claim to, if he even has the movie license in the first place; which i don't think he does anymore.

If they can take the concept and keep the pedophile from getting any money then I support it. Being offended by someone who is a pedophile isn't "being one of those guys who is offended by everything". It's being against adults who sexually assault children.
2 -
And why does it matter if he gets money for a license he may, or may not have? How exactly does him getting money from you=agreeing with, or supporting his terrible actions?
0 -
Because giving a pedophile money is supporting them financially. I don't want to financially support a pedophile. Simple as that.

So what you are saying is both the general public and Netflix classify it as Horror. Good enough for me; that's horror.
1 -
@TAG No what I'm saying is two people classify it as horror on the internet, and those two people are so scared of actual horror that they don't watch it, but are completely fine watching it on Netflix. If someone scared of their own shadow(who doesn't watch horror) watches it without being totally scared out of their mind, even going so far as to tell others who do not watch horror that it is totally fine to watch, I don't see how it could be considered horror. But if we're going to classify it as horror, as I said we may as well have a Gremlins chapter as well.
