NO crossplay sucks
For real it keeps me from playing with all of my friends this is stupid, I’m sure people would rather play with their friends and lose to cheaters every now and then, than not play with them at all. Weird way to approach this issue in my opinion.
Well pc community won’t stop cheating so I’m glad it’s out
It’s not all or even a lot of the pc community but yet we are paying for it as well only now we are stuck with all the cheaters and can not play with our friends on console. Remember that you are stereotyping an entire community because of a couple bad apples.
a lot of people be doing it too, I came across several xbox players that were hacking the game too.
Same here. If PC players want to spoil the game by cheating then they can do it amongst themselves. I’m glad they can’t crossplay with consoles and hope it stays that way or at least give consoles the option of opting out of crossplay with them.
They’re doing nothing for the victim side and might as well just hand the kills on over. Thr family is already O.P and they just keep catering to the family mains. Also fix the cross play already, not all of pc are cheaters and its unfair that we are stuck with them and nobody else.
I totally agree when are the victims gonna get something it’s always for the family they have enough it’s hard enough to survive as it is now they don’t have to turn anything on so they all come to the basement to kill us so we have zero chance it’s getting to where no since in playing the game anymore we don’t all want to play as family just make it fair for all
What I’m saying we finally get a game that lets us fight back against the killers and everyone is pissed about it, it doesn’t make sense
Fighting back means nothing when dying 19 games out of 20. Yeah I can backstab a family member, and stab grandpa, get a lucky door slam occasionally, but none of that is satisfying when it never leads to escaping which is the entire goal of the game for victims.
I actually find escaping far too easy every ten victim games I survive like 8 or 9 of them. The family is not op imo you just gotta know how to play victim.
Tell me you rush and escape in 3 minutes without telling me you rush and escape on 3 minutes. Literally only way to win as victim. I don’t play the kind of build or victim that can escape in 3 minutes, not everyone is running max endurance proficiency builds. Im not playing anymore after losing my last 20 damn games in a row. Not fun at all.
I’m so sick of the bug that happens when you try to unlock doors it lags and you can’t preform a simple unlocking door. Change it
It does that too when you hop in the well, it will glitch to where your stuck and the killers can’t attack you and you can’t do anything about it but disconnect.
Why is it that all the Nerfs are to screw over the survivors? And how come they haven’t fixed Survivor perks like overlooked where it doesn’t work at all. It uses all of your tokens at once and you can still be seen. Making it useless. Seems like you guys are doing the same stuff they do on dead by daylight. Always tons of changes to the benefit of the killers and screwing over the victims.
I noticed that too, and the killers be taking advantage of that. It makes the game suck.
I just uninstalled, clearly the devs just want this game to be “Family Faceroll simulator”. I’m surprised they still allow us to escape from restraints in the beginning and don’t just have the family come in and kill us right off the bat. It would make these futile matches quicker at least.
The game sucks now, too many killers gatekeeping one exit. And at one point some killers be waiting at basement doors to open up. resulting in instant kills and the game ends in less than 5 minutes. Some hackers be dming talking about “Oh we hacked your game”. And it’s not fair.
All I see is people finding more to complain about. PC and console being separated is a really good thing. PC players have always had a bigger advantage. The movement and loading is faster. Those who disagree, clearly haven’t played on both or can’t admit the truth. Console players will always be at a disadvantage against PC players. It’s about time there’s a game that recognizes this and puts a stop to it. If PC players want something to be mad about they can be mad at the PC hackers. Honestly, why pick a fight with anyone else? It’ll go nowhere. The game creators are doing their best to fix it BUT I HAVE TO ADMIT it’s been super amazing on the console side with playing against and with others who are also on console because they are all at the same advantages and disadvantages. As far as the game, sissy is way too over powered and needs to be tuned down. Even though it’s only her first hit that’s poison, that’s all she needs to keep you put. One hit and you are so stunned that you can’t move or get away. Cook can hear constantly and just stand around listening while the other 2 gang up on you. Johnny can run and hit you while stunning you. The family shouldn’t be able to run THAT fast while hitting. The fixes shouldn’t only be focused on victims. It could help more by adding surveys to the game menu. Fixes shouldn’t only be considered by the ones who complain the loudest. There are plenty of humble folk who also enjoy the game.
Ruining the game disabling crossplay goodjob!
