What would be your final straw to stop playing this game?

I think I'm too far in. The sunken cost fallacy is a dangerous mistress...

Ive had plenty of final straws with this game. I took a long break from the game after unlocking all teachables on my console and afterwards sold the console.

I got it for pc because some friends of mine got into it and i wanted to play with them since theres very little to do socially since the pandemic.

Ive almost unlocked all teachables on pc and after that ill probably quit playing as much for a while.

Either once the pandemic is finally over or some new games finally release ill probably forego dbd indefinitely. Its not really that fun of a game but like i said theres literally been nothing else to do for the last year.

If you look on steam or most other platforms the same games from like 2014-2016 are still featured. They all have the same model where studios make one game and milk the crap out of it for years with dlc and cosmetics etc and new games get hyped up and released with game breaking bugs. ######### happened? Its like the gaming industry peaked when fallout 4 and skyrim was released and nothing as good has come about since then.

Wow dude I feel that on a spiritual level, really started playing less and less during the absolutely unplayable (for console) binding of kin chapter, decided to not play till I got a PS5 bc it was that bad. Anyways fast forward to just before the trickster chapter, I played alot of dbd during it, but I felt so...idk empty? I ended up slowly playing alot less.

Like I felt like soooo much time was wasted for the amount of time I out in, hiding survivors that waste sooooo much time after you kill two of them....or survivors who do NO gens while you are playing survivor...I started running whispers on every killer because it started annoying me that much.

Then don't get me started on the grind, it doesn't matter that I have about half the killers p3 all perks, Its still an outrageous grind, takes ages and it makes me feel like I have to always run WGLF/BBQ, because I simply can't give up those bp gains. So as of now I have only two perk slots, whispers to deal with the near hostage taking (idk what other word to use for it but let's not get hung up on semantics) and BBQ to make sure I'm not missing out on BP.

The bugs have been driving me up the wall more then usual like my patience has widdled away. Like the sound bugs, and the countless bugs that are on some killers.

Like don't get me wrong I'm insanely passionate about this game, but I'm like you, I feel like it's sadly not worth my time right now. And it may be silly to some people to hear, but it makes me genuinely sad, because sometimes I think to myself that I wanna play, and all I end up doing is talking myself out of it and being a little down about it.

Edit: What about you Yamaoka? What games you been playing, and what you been doing? (I'm high ground my names been changed in the forums)

Trickster had me close, but at least he's reminiscent of Ichi the Killer

FNAF would just be way overboard, it would signal to me that BHVR no longer has any passion for the horror genre if they'll let that crappy slideshow game have a seat next to Leatherface

Comms should be by proximity, like if you are close to another survivor. It's not realistic at all and unfair for someone across the map on top of a building/hill telling everyone where the killer is/what they're doing.

Yup. I’m still bothered by companies making merch of that movie.

I started playing DBD with a friend in late 2018 (mostly survivor).We played quite a bit back then,but we took some long breaks from the game since then.In the end of last year we started playing the game again,almost everyday, for about 2-3 hours and we have been having fun.

The last 2 months though the game has become so stale and boring that i actually consider taking a break from it again and if the situation remains the same,maybe it will be time to move on.I personally dont care if the killer runs meta perks,or noed ,moris or whatever else.The problem is that lately the vast majority of the killers i play against just rely on the same strategy:Tunneling and camping (be it facecamping or proxy camping) and in many of these cases there is little you can do.The latter has to do with your teammates too,which in most cases they only care about dive bombing for the unhook,without thinking at all.Slugging is another boring thing,but i rarely encounter it anymore.

I've been playing in red ranks a couple of months after starting the game.I want to believe that most of the DBD playerbase considers the ranks to mean #########,since they do not determine your skill.You just play the game and after a while you go to the red ranks and you may still be a ######### player.Lately i have been playing against killers with over 3000 hours that still can not comprehend this game.They may use perks like ruin or pop and bbq,perks that require that you have map presence,but they still rely on camping.Then another survivor unhooks you and then they down you immediately,since you cant do that much.Yes i know the solution to these situations is just gen-rush and yes it works.But is this fun?No it's boring.In other situations 2 survivors go for the rescue.One to lure the killer and start chasing and one other for the save.Well in most games that i played the last 2 months the killer breaks chase and goes back to the hook -_-.The mindblowing thing is that they rely on these strategies,even with 4 gens left.Strange thing in the majority of my games is that the killer doesnt even care to patrol gens with pop and ruin,except if we ######### up and we created a 3-gen.

All this would be fine if it happened in every 3-4/10 games,but nope it has to be the majority of the games.And im not saying that i am the only one that is getting camped or tunneled,but the general situation in most of my games.Did we """""win""""" ?Yes, in most of these cases at least 2 survivors escape.Did i have fun?No ######### way.

I think the cheat right now getting really worse, I've had fair enough of cheaters lately, I will stop playing for now, don't know if it's gonna be permanent or not, even as killer or survivors both got fair amount of cheaters

So you're saying I'm " childish " for stating I don't want to play a game for introducing characters and a chapter I don't like?

and for not wanting to deal with more toxic children in an already toxic fandom?

I'm " childish " for stating " This is too camp for the franchise for me and takes the game into a place I don't like. " ?

I don't think that is how that works, but go off girly. Power to the people, feel your feelings chica. I'm proud of you for expressing your opinion even though it's wrong.

I go away if BHVR nerfed Oni.

the devs continuing to pump out new killers perks etc... rather then optimizing the game and updating old perks that are near useless.

Honestly it feels good to see that some people understand and even share my current take on the game.

At this point I can't even tell if I'll ever really get back into DBD actively. I used to be (overly) passionate about the game but I feel like the devs don't really care about some of the major issues on both sides (+performance) which drives me away.

As for what I'm playing at the moment I primarily play Destiny 2 but after around 1k hours I'm starting to get bored of the game already even though Destiny's PVP can be exciting, too.

Overall I miss the times of good offline games that provided you with amazing experiences (without any frustrations) for ages. Sometimes I jump on Watch Dogs 1 just for the nostalgia. Not really an ol' timer amongst games but old enough to feel nostalgia I guess. Ironically it seems to be fairly popular. I tried the online mode the other day and matchmaking was literally 1-2 minutes.

Sometimes DBD matchmaking takes longer than that lol.

I've mostly stopped, aside from a match or two every other day. The devs are what killed my drive. They don't care about their product, so why should I?

Well if they never fix this damn lag then yeah I’ll stop. I still get, mostly as killer, lag so bad that either the survivors basically get free points or it crashes and I’m punished because BHVRs incapable of, or doesn’t want to either fix the lag or remove the dc

EDIT: I realize that not everyone is having these problems and for some it’s working great. I’m happy for you but this has been a persistent issue for me since the last expansion.

Also, not that this would really make me stop playing but I’m kinda tired of all the goofy/silly outfits. All the over the top “funny” memey cosmetics really just does not work for me.

I can see that, however if people don't like coms they can keep them off ya? It really just gives us social people the option to talk ^^

That sounds alright but killers would lose their [BAD WORD] and complain even more. I think BHVR might be afraid to make that move and anger a large part of that player base.

probaply MMR being fully implemented, turning all my games into the sweatfests ive been consistently having for the last two MMR test runs.
