Why all the hate for the new chapter?

My main issues with the new chapter is Toba Landing (It's one of the worst maps in the game. Probably THE worst) and Singularity's power being a clunky mess. Other than that, the chapter is great.

I'm pretty happy with the new chapter. Always been a big fan of sci-fi. The Single Lady, I mean Singularity, is difficult and his power feels clunky (for me, at least).

Love the new map. Fun as survivor, kind of a pain on killer. Love the small details (millipedes running across the floor, the reptile birds flying in the sky, all the flora).

Made for This is a new staple in my build currently at the moment, having a blast with it.

EMPs do need to be adjusted, though.

I'm leveling the killer to prestige 3 to unlock all his perks then never playing him again. The EMPs kill his power and I dont have time to surveillance cameras when I need to pressure hyper sonic gen speeds. Even if you do hit them with the biopod they negate it to quick with the EMPs.

The Chapter is head and shoulders over the Skull Merchant chapter.

The thing to take into account is, as far as I can remember, every chapter has had people bemoaning it. It's pretty much par for the course, especially when people are declaring a killer is crap less than 24 hours after release (which is never enough time!). Just the same old circle of vomit.

I like this chapter and The Singularity will be a decent killer as time goes on.

I think when more people starts to utilize Singularity's power as a chase heavy tool rather than for map control, i imagine there's probably gonna be less complaints about the killer's power than as it currently stands since everyone is still figuring out how to get proper use out of the power.

Although i am still looking forward to next bugfix patch to see what kind of improvements they're gonna give to the killer and the EMPs.

Thing is, I'm usually the most level-headed when it comes to new chapter impressions, I'm usually right there giving every doubt it's benefit, finding the good in whatever mixed bag they give us. I can't see it in this killer at all. This is the first time I've been instantly disappointed, and can't find a way to redeem it.

I've played against him several times as a solo survivor. I haven't failed to have constant access to EMPs, and I haven't failed to completely delete his power when he tries to use it. The only times he did any damage was when he stopped using his power and just played as a powerless M1 killer. I've played as him a few times, and haven't been able to teleport to any survivor, because as soon as I activate a pod, it gets instantly EMP'ed.

It seems from watching other streamers who manage to use him well, that his power only works in chase, as in you shoot survivors directly. This simply isn't feasible on controller. He's Trickster all over again.

Setting up EMP's???

Bro what???

I would say both Nemesis and Wesker were well received on their release.

Nemesis being the most popular chapter of all time. And Wesker being a pretty good killer out of the box.

The main problem I've seen is just the EMP since they can easily just disable your power for an extremely long time I get it's so we don't have another Skull Merchant problem where it's just a three gen killer but I the problem is that you can grab an EMP and use it and already near by is another EMP ready to be used or simply make the printing faster. While yes there is a brown add-on that reduces it by a good amount it just seems the EMP's appear a bit often for me that is. Playing survivor against him as ended the same 4/5 matches I'll escape since I can disable the biopods within seconds. I get the point of survivor is to escape but I still want to have some kind of pressure.

The new chapter great in my opinion just need a nerf to emps but i not suprise by the huge amount of backlash! i feel anytime a killer remotely strong come out the survivors complain to no end!! and any time a killer come out who not strong the killer mains scream D tier which = bad chapter!! Half of the killers roster haven't been receive well on initial release (twins, legion, knight, trickster, skull merchant, sadako, freddy, etc). I'm not even suprise anymore.

You dont set up pods, at least you dont go out of your way to do so.

Theres nothing stopping you from shooting a pod mid chase, quickly locking onto them, and then make up the distance by shooting them directly. They EMP it? take 5 extra seconds to repeat the process.

The worst thing they can do is EMP something across the map, because then you can't replace it in a timely manner. Which btw if you dont want a gen to be worked on, place 2 pods far enough away so that the EMP cant reach both of them.

Pods also should be treated sort of like Hag traps by making them have multiple uses for its one location. That way youll get the most value from them. Difference between Larry and Hag tho is he doesnt need to go out of his way to do so. You can see a good spot and shoot it at quite a long distance.

Hes far, and I mean FAR from a weak killer.

Anyone who is truly enjoying this chapter is likely not spending time online to talk about the chapter and rather playing the chapter.

The reasons why I don't like this chapter and for me the hated Knight chapter is better:

• In terms of perks and from a killer main perspective, Forged in Fog brought more interesting perks for killer, including a new Hex which can be fun with some killers like Pig and Sadako, and Nowhere to Hide is fun due the tendency of survivors to hide near Generators they're repairing and you get a lot of free hits due it. End Transmision killer perks are very very niche and/or situational Machine Learning is the only one which can catch some interest for me and I think I wont use it a lot.
• Character visual desing-wise The Knight>>>>>>>The Singularity and Vittorio>>>>>>>Gabriel, for me The Singularity is one of the ungliest killers (in the uncool way) of the game if not the ugliest, however The Knight is one of the coolest and more badass killers in the game, and I don't like to have an Astro Boy like Gabriel in the game as survivor.
• In terms of killer powers: Is way easier to use and capitalize The Knight Power and for me personally the Knight Power is more fun.
• Map wise, the maps of both chapters are bad gameplay-wise, but for me Borgo is more cool despite that ugly fog, I don't like the alien planets, I consider it doesn't fit in the game.

My statement was specific to the chapter we're talking currently, End Transmission.

Gabriel got Made For This and Scavenger which are generally more useful than anything Singularity shipped with.

I'm not going to go over everything else you mentioned cause it's irrelevant to the discussion.

How did my post come off like that when the entire context of this thread is about the new chapter?

It makes more sense to assume that people making statements in the thread about the sentiment around the new chapter would be unless specified otherwise about the new chapter. You chose to respond to me, but why not anyone else when the level of non-specificity was used by them as well in their statements.

Just because you don't see something doesn't mean it is happening and that in the context of wider game experience it isn't problematic when looked in relation to others things. Reading comprehension isn't hard when you account for context.

old spirit once you hit it game over you can't do anything against it

All you can do is camp the pallet and pray it turns up the other way. It's just luck, not mind games

As for the rest of your points, I agree with you
