Why I think the RE chapter is bad as a huge RE fan
1. Nemesis feels nothing like Nemesis from either the original or even the remake. They focused way too much on tentacles and bringing the feeling of RE with the zombies instead of bringing the feeling of the character NEMESIS.
2. The map has random for no reason orange RE mutation bubbles around the map. Before someone say "It's the entities influence" well why is it ONLY this map. Why? It just makes the map uglier.
3. Character models. People say Nemesis looks perfect... Idk how. His head is too small. His skin is pink which it wasn't in the remake. Jill looks nothing like her. There's no excuse for that when Leon so the only character who does actually look perfect. And Jill's photo in her backstory section looks good. Resident Evil 4 Leon and his base skin are the best models in this entire chapter. For some reason you guys chose RE5 Chris and for those who say its RE1, no that is RE5 Chris because he has that same alternate costume in 5. Its RE5 Chris. Claire looks possessed and her face is a bit off anyways. Jill's classic RE3 costume should be a bit bright and her face is still bad there. And the prestiged cosmetics... They are not good at all. At best they are ok.
4. Even though he feels nothing like Nemesis you could have at least created a good power anyways, except its uninspired and reused. The zombies have nothing to do with him. His power is the tentacle and the zombies are just there. He's just Pyramid Head lite in a way. HOW!? How do you make Nemesis anywhere close to PH!? That blows my mind.
5. It just feels empty and like there was no love or care put in. When SH or whatever other licenses came out I have the same amount of excitement to play them like even a week after release. Right now with this chapter excitement just died down for me. I'm just playing like I normally would. No excitement to play them. Just frustration if anything. Or just nothing.
Nothing in this chapter is exciting anymore, there's no charm, there's not love, low effort, recycles powers from a killer who should have nothing to do with this killer, and more. This chapter is bad. They should fix all these issues. I'm just 1 person though. Its makes me so sad to see my favorite license be wasted and never get a 2nd chance to actually be good. If nothing good really happens I don't care if DBD succeeds or not. They aren't willing to put in ANY good work and probably won't really ever be again if they can even treat something so big like this.

What was this chapter? What was this entire update? You just ######### out another chapter like you have been doing and you do it with your biggest license ever for DBD? There is no charm or love in this chapter! Sure its not as bad as the last 2 but its still horrendous. How do you end up treating Silent Hill and Stranger Things and every other license so well and not RE? Of course I want them all to be good and they are EXCEPT RE. This chapter doesn't feel special to even someone like me who absolutely loves RE, who plays those games daily and more than even your game which I also play a lot. You RUINED it. It was your only opportunity to do it to. I doubt you'll do any reworks to make it feel good. It is garbage and it'll always feel like garbage. But WHY did you decide to crap on it? Everyone expected a good chapter since licenses are usually handled well no matter what, well now even licensed chapters are even save from you bull! Get your ######### together please! This is the 4TH CHAPTER IN A ROW RELEASING WITHOUT A ######### MAP! What are you doing!? You can't save this shitfest of a chapter that was supposed to be your biggest one. Stop being lazy and ######### EVERYTHING up already. This is the biggest horror game franchise ever made and will probably stay that way for a long time as its still going strong. Hopefully more people go play REsistance over this dumpster pile of a chapter.

It’s very saddening because it’s gotten to the point where they just don’t care about the players and only care about the revenue.

I haven't played on the Police Station map yet, but if it's too large to be viable, they could always cut it in half. Do a round floor and an upper floor on two different maps or something?
2 -
I whole heartedly agree, they really mess up big time, I mean I know they mess up before but not like this.
1 -
It was at that point already when they added the F2P-style storefront in their P2P game - three years ago, on June 12 2018, when they released Curtain Call.
They just started going even further beyond that point, chapter after chapter, releasing more cosmetic drops than patches for bug fixes and balances.

OP still hasn't discovered the Enter key, I see.
There wasn't a single substantive complaint in this weird rant until the end where you complained about the map not being available. Which, sure, you're right that it's lame the map is broken, but otherwise that entire post was just a bunch of random, angry sentences.
12 -
That’s an awful lot of words delivering zero substance. You say its bad but don’t give any examples why. It was released without a map? That’s funny because I played it a couple of times. Yes they pulled it but only on a temporary basis.
4 -
While I wouldn't say this is the biggest license I will say they ######### it up
7 -
Tbh, I still think Stranger Things has been the biggest Chapter.
4 -
I would say either halloween or nightmare on elm street
1 -
At the time of its release the Stranger Things was definitely much more current in the public consciousness. I’d wager that far more younger players had seen ST than either Elm St or Halloween, even the remakes.
1 -
I think you could make a case for Halloween, but not NOES.
Stranger Things was HUGE.
3 -
fair enough
1 -
People gave me ######### on reddit for saying "I wonder how bhvr will mess it up" when they announced the RE chapter but even I didn't think they'd mess it up this badly.
4 -
People can't even play the damn game....console is completely assed out. Not to mention the sorry excuse of a killer release, on top of sound bugs...like ######### even....
0 -
They did a pretty damn good job with stranger things though. There was some bugs and issues, but nothing game breaking. And the killer and perks released for both sides were actually good. Not the most insane things in the world but damn good.
0 -
And you see, what you just said there is a coherent complaint. You listed various problems that bothered you about the update. Fine.
What the OP did was just spew out a bunch of expletives. His post only makes even a little bit of sense if you happen to also be dissatisfied with things.
1 -
I mean its not hard to see whats wrong with it unless you put blinders on and inhale extensive amounts of COPIUM....
0 -
What I mean is its more beneficial to put A game into another game than it is a movie or something into a game. Thats why I think its the biggest for DBD.
0 -
Not hard to understand why I'd be upset when something I care about a lot gets massacred in something else I really like and have been waiting years for.
3 -
Leon though
0 -
I can just play actual good games for Leon. Such as RE2R, RE4, RE6, RE2 original, and more.

Since the Freddy release, i dont trust them any licensed chapter to be good, Silent Hill was a pleasant exception tho.
0 -
I'd we ate talking about licensing then I think that silent hill was the best and stranger things a close second
0 -
I spent time reading random sentences about how bad the RE chapter is but the only conclusion I get is you are angry only because the map is temporally disabled. You are exagerarting a lot, a new chapter is not a bad chapter only because the map is disabled for some time.
0 -
I agree, it's not a bad chapter just because the maps don't work for a little bit, they worked hard on it so let's enjoy it.
0 -
Thanks guys. I was wondering that nobody noticed the zero substance and pure hate speech. Really, bugs are annoying and every map get closed after bringing a new one or a rework but that is not a way to start a discussion.
1 -
OP seems weirdly obsessed that the chapter doesn't fall exactly in line with what he expected out of an Resident Evil DLC.
I'm pretty sure it's the same guy who made a thread or two complaining that Nemesis 'doesn't feel like Nemesis' because he... can't sprint like the Hillbilly?
3 -
The ST chapter perks are 6 out of 9 bad, and some were worse before buffs. All of Steve’s perks are terrible, and Nancy has 2 ok perks that are only used because of the synergy they have. Demo’s are pretty meh to worst in the game. Not to mention the map is very divisive, and was hated on release.
While the chapter was solid, rose tinted glasses make it seem better than it was. As someone who’s never seen the show, it didn’t really do anything for me. Good chapter, overhyped now for what it was treated on release.

I'm speaking as a huge RE fan. Who plays the games all day. Who knows a bunch of small little things some might not know. The map simply is not the only reason. Nemesis doesn't feel like Nemesis is one of the biggest.
0 -
Its not about it falling in line with what I expected. I expect good quality, a finished product, and for the things they are based on to feel like those things slightly. Little things are very important to me. The chapter isn't finished which is awful, map has weird mutation bubbles added to it for no reason. Just makes the map uglier. Nemesis is NOTHING like Nemesis in either the original OR the remake besides his looks and sounds. None of it is Resident Evil. The best part of this entire chapter was the skins. Except for the legendaries. Those looked awful. The RE4, and base Leon skin are the highlights of this chapter. Everything else is either mediocre or bad.
0 -
I'm also an huge RE fan and not having the RPD for a few days doesn't make me think the chapter is lazy, specially considering that the proble with the map was unexpected because as far I know the map worked fine in the PTB.
0 -
I was going to agree but then you said re6.
0 -
The map is a small part of my complaints. A bigger complaint about the map is how it looks. Being delayed is annoying. Not at all why I hate the chapter though.
0 -
RE6 is still better than DBD. It at least has effort.
0 -
Pretty much this. Everyone shat on them and now they're agreeing with them because they're struggling on playing a slightly difficult killer that only now released. This gonna be the Blight situation all over again, trash tier to god tier.
0 -
Nemesis is nothing like Nemesis in the RE games because he is a nerfed version of RE games one. If they make Nemesis as powerful as he is in the RE games he would be OP. Bazooka and more weapons, high speed, etc.. he would be far above the nurse and the spirit.
0 -
You don't realize what I mean. He is not a nerfed version of him. If he was he'd still feel a bit like Nemesis. The problem I have is that he feels NOTHING like him. His strength isn't what matters to me. I just want the abilities he had in the games even if they are nerfed. Like cooldown for running. Stuff like that. I understand not having weapons though.
0 -
You're right there. Like I said before, we're just milking cows at this point. Ever since the store and rift was implemented (not saying the store is a bad thing) and they saw the big moneypiles coming in, they only have the $$$ signs in their eyes, The passion is just gone it seems since money came in to play.
0 -
I always thought it would be cool if he could walk through pallets somehow or maybe start sprinting furiously since he's the nemesis, an unstoppable stalker. I don't think he's a bad killer but for such a big deal killer I think he should be at least A tier but he's B.
1 -
You're definitely entitled to your opinion, but without playing the chapter, how do you even know if Nemesis is bad? Giving him weapons would be stupid hard to balance. The tentacle makes sense. He uses the tentacles in both the original and remake. It is a classic finishing move when he impales your face 😅 I wish the Mori was better, but this chapter so far is pretty alright imo. I am also a massive fan of the series, I have every game on almost every platform. I even got the RE4 chainsaw controller for GameCube. Being a massive fan of the series doesn't mean you know what's best though, just like I don't know what would be best for this chapter. It may even cloud your judgement and make you too critical of what BHVR produce. Do I think the survivor skins are good? Not really, RE4 Leon is default head with a jacket, Jill looks pretty so-so, I do like the Chris outfit though 👍🏻
0 -
I'm a massive fan of the series as well. Been playing them since the first Resident Evil and own almost every game on every console. Even snagged one of those RE4 GameCube Chainsaw controllers. I honestly think the chapter is fine. Does Nemesis feel a bit lackluster? Yeah, because if he was the way he was in RE3, he would be way too strong, WAY too strong. I think they should've given him a more noticable, robust evolution, not just one arm growing orange bubbles on it. However, I personally still think Nemesis feels solid. A few tweaks and he will be in a great spot. The OP basically said a whole lot of nothing and that he doesn't like the map being disabled.
0 -
Having a tentacle doesn't make him feel like Nemesis. He could have easily been swapped out for many other RE monsters. I would have preferred Lisa Trevor because they went with the tentacle route. Did I want a tentacle attack? Yes. The thing that he completely lacks that would make him feel like Nemesis is his speed. He's way too slow. He needs a running ability. Wouldn't be hard to balance. They should even sacrifice zombies to put it in.
0 -
He doesn't NEED a running ability, you want him to have one in your ideal Nemesis scenario. That might have made him too strong or hard to balance. He can hit over pallets, break them faster, has 2 AI (the zombies definitely need some tweaking, especially with their pathing). I feel like they mucked a few things up, but nowhere near as bad as some people say. Again, just my opinion.
1 -
Its not about balancing at all. Its about this not being Nemesis. This is just Mr. X if he had a tentacle which is no at all what Nemesis is. This isn't Nemesis.
0 -
It's not the devs, they don't decide stuff. It is the management who decides stuff, so they should be blamed.

As a huge DBD & RE fan, this post is overwhelmingly down on the new chapter. Sure, there’s a ######### ton of bugs in this update, the new map is disabled, Claire looks like a drug addict, and Nemesis isn’t as powerful as everyone desired him to be, but...
Other than that, I find this update to be great and a friend of mine that just tried out DBD said that he doesn’t like the amount of bugs in the update, but the feel of the game is cool and is miles better than the RE multiplayer experience Capcom has given it’s fan base thus far.
So, I disagree and I think it was a good update (content-wise and conceptually too).
0 -
It is not bad chapter, seriously i have fun with new perks and characters.
But Nemesis needs some buffs
0 -
Strength isn't the problem. Problem is the characters arent the characters. Nemesis doesn't even feel like a DBD version of Nemesis. He feels like something completely different.
0 -
I did have fun. Doesn't mean its good or that I like it. Even though I have fun I still hope it burns in a ######### fire.
