    There is no horror online game that keeps being scary... Get over it... The only thing you will ever be "scared" by in any of these games will be jump scares... Horror usually comes by as the fear if the unknown, but if you have spend time in the game and know everything what exactly are you supposed to be scared of... If you can name a online horror pvp game that stays scary after a few hundred hours feel free to... I for myself did never find this game scary, because there has never been horror in it for me.

    I'm just criticizing though, does anyone call this game a horror game? I don't know even why did you only stuck on the horror part instead focusing about at least 100 years old lag and hitbox problem. Are you having a hard time understanding things?

    I think the game description itself but other than that not really...

    Because that part is a given? Everyone knows that ping/latency issues get you some of those juicy pokos, but the community has been criticizing this for years and I don't think anything about it will change if we continue criticizing that, I don't even know if it is in the hands of the devs tbh... I remember some people saying like 4-5 years ago that this issue got worse with the introduction of dedicated servers instead of the killer basically being the host, but I have no clue if that's true so...

    Don't get me wrong critiquing stuff is always a good thing, just to keep it in the minds of people that it is not OK, but the issue has been in the game since I started playing 5 years ago... And ever since people complained... I just don't believe anymore that the devs are willing or able to fix it. It is just something you have to deal with. It just feels like complaining about it is basically futile at this point ^^

    Why should I deal with a problem that literally killing the game. I lost my enthusiasm when I get hit through objects by ranged killers, after dropping a pallet, after succesfully fast vaulting window but still getting a hit. This shouldn't be something we have to deal with.

    How exactly are you gonna solve latency? One side will always be at the disadvantage there... Either it is the killer showing on his screen he hit you and nothing happenend or on the survivor side... It is basically impossible for bot sides to win this.

    Alot of times it's a ping problem. Pc killer, PlayStation survivor. A lot of go betweens there. That's not something bhvr can do anything about. It's just part of he multiplayer experience.

    Dead by Daylight is a 4v1 asymmetrical horror game going by the dbd twitter profile. Probably needs changing to party game.
