Do you think Nemesis was wasted?

I thought that'd be the case at first, but Nemesis and Plague have totally different playstyles. Their similarities are only superficial. Plague creates lose-lose situations around cleansing and has an insanely powerful ranged attack that survivors have to give her; Nemesis has almost no benefits to survivors 'cleansing' and a much weaker ranged attack that he builds up over the course of the match and can get on his own even if he can't hit survivors at all, and unlike her, he never powers down. Nemesis is also a pallet muncher like Demo - who he plays much more like than Plague. Plague is a snowballer with powerful anti-stealth.

Anyway, I like playing Nemesis quite a bit. The zombies are a fun mechanic and very useful for giving you direction during the match, and his M2 is easy to use even if it has the extra health state involved. Yeah, it extends a chase if you infect a survivor instead of damaging them, but I get along just fine when I M2 in places I wouldn't have gotten the M1 hit. Yeah, he's considerably weaker than Nemesis would be, but there's no way his power level could be held true in a game that gives you flashlights and pallets to fend him off rather than high ordinance. I'm having fun with the big guy.

I think he is alright.

But, I think the Zombies are pretty annoying, an original Killer with Nemesis Power would probably not come with Zombies - they are only implemented because it is an RE-Chapter.

I really dont get why the Killer should get free zoning - as braindead as the Zombies are for most of the time (sometimes their AI is terrible), they are not too strong or anything, but getting smacked by a Zombie during a Chase or having to leave a Gen/Totem/whatever, just because of RNG is annoying.

I do not understand the complaints, he feels very unique because he has so much going for him. The vaccines are kind of like Pig (but actually useful), the infections are kind of like Plague, his tentacle is kind of like Pyramid Head (but way less clunky), the tier states are kind of like Myers, and the Zombie AI are more or less original. All of that in one killer.

This game has a lot of killers who are very one note. At least Nemesis is dynamic as a result of it. Heck, his infection not dealing damage is already quite different. Maybe not in a way that makes him feel strong. But you don't get the "Nemesis experience" by playing other killers, you have to play him. He is one of the best killers in the game, if you ask me. I know survivors whine about any killer that can hit them while they unsafely vault, but the fact that he gives them a free hit should ease their pain just a bit. And with limited vaccines, maybe they are more likely to notice that half their problems come from garbage teammates and not the killer just being some cartoon super villain out to ruin their fun.

You fail to understand the difference between "annoying" and "too strong".

I'd honestly like 1 more zombie because of how big the maps can be.

Lmao at people complaining that he isn't a good fit for DbD because they needed to water him down.

I don't think that matters at all. We see that all the characters can be grabbed by the Entity.

I was disappointed with his power tho, that there isn't anything original about it. Give me some new mechanics. Or imagine him having a rocket launcher that he can use even just once during the game ...

Yes and no; Yes because what we got isn't enough to make the player feel like nemesis (no dash, flamethrower, rocket launcher, more complex power), and no because he is a decent character for people who are new to the game. Even so, I believe that he is a half-baked character in dbd, and unless there are some additions to his power (adding more to infection and longer whip range, and also making the zombies more interactive), he isn't all there.

I think with DBD you need to stretch your imagination a bit. Licensed characters will never be their true selves, because if they were they would wipe the floor with other characters.

Michael and Freddy are a good example. Their true characters would have zero issue disposing of 4 survivors. They are watered down in this game.

On the survivor side there is Ash and Bill. Ash, with his proper chainsaw, could go toe to toe with a bunch of the killers and win. He has faced far worse then Trapper or Pig ^^" Bill has been through hell and back. I am sure he too would be able to take out a few killers as well.

If they didn't pick Nemmy or Mr. X, it probably would've been disappointing on some level

That being said... it's Nemmy without a rocket launcher, and Nemmy incapable of sprinting or roaring - it's a bit underwhelming to me. There are other one shot down killers that are balanced with limitations on their powers, so I feel like a rocket launcher could've been doable (hefty cooldown, alternative objective to obtain etc.) AI zombies are cool and all, but no matter how you slice it, Nemmy is just a much weaker version of PH. I don't hate this iteration of Nemmy but it just feels very forgettable and underwhelming to me.

RE Resistance had a boatload of issues, but Nemmy was an absolute blast to play in that. By a wide margin the best part of the game. Nemmy in DBD could've been so much better than what we got. It's hard not to feel disappointed

He isn't weak at all, but they should replace his tier 3 with rocket launcher. its kinda funny this huge guy can only use tiny tentacle to attack.

Nemesis doesn't have to be weak and rely on zombies. In DBD, I don't have the feeling that I'm playing for Nemesis. Oni look more like a Tyrant than Nemesis himself. It is necessary to remove the zombies and strengthen the killer.

more tha nemesis, I believe that the T VIRUS was wasted...I mean...ok Nemesis gets more powerful if he infects but the virus does literally NOTHING to survs....such an iconic thing for videogame history reduced to cause just a little cough here and there....it was hugely disappointing actually.

Yes his main power feels pretty boring and isnt unique. I think they should have made him more focused on zombies like remove his tentacle and make his zombies more dangerous and then making him spawn the zombies himself where he wants them to patrol like at a hex and like in loops to stop survivors instead of them just being rng on if they are in the right place at the right time.
