VHS another asymmetric slasher game (free to play) - Surely, this one must be solid after so many failures? Spoilers: the balance sucks and the devs are faggots

[BrunoMattei]

EDIT: since I can't edit the title. The game is dead. Devs are faggots that refused to make the monster side strong and fun to play. That's all she wrote.


The devs were previously responsible for the game Wick:

What is VHS? An asymmetric slasher game very similar to Dead by Daylight but makes some crucial changes. Namely: the players HAVE to kill the monster/killer. There's no hiding until the round ends, there's no holding M1 on a generator and then running to the next generator and do the same, and most importantly there is no emphasis on mindless looping. The monster can kill you, it only takes two hits to down (unless the monster has rage) and there's no hooks or other bullshit the monster needs to do after you knock a guy down. There's no pallet or flashlight rescues either. Teens have to craft a weapon and hit the monster with x number of elemental weapons to kill the monster. If the monster has already been downed once with an elemental (let's say fire) and they're hit again with the same elemental then they're just stunned, but it does leave them open for another Teen to hit them with another elemental weapon.

You might ask: What's with that subtitle "Surely, this one must be solid after so many failures?" If you've been scoping out asymmetric games over the last few years you'd notice that pretty much every single time this has been attempted the game ends up a horrible failure. Dead by Daylight has been the sole exception to the rule and was also the first game to come out to market, despite horrifically incompetent developers and one of the absolute worst communities you will come across.

The beta starts tomorrow at 10AM PST. Let's fucking go!

Edit: the game sucks and the devs are faggots. This is now a drama thread like the Dead by Daylight one. I am so sorry if I got anyone's hopes up over this POS made by retarded Quebecois game devs.

Wait it's tomorrow? Hot Dang.

They've NEVER done a blood hunt on Black Friday. Usually, they do one around Xmas time or for Chinese New Years (because they're cucked to China).

Wrong thread.

EDIT: I didn't see the SST video under it. Derp.

Wrong thread and of course those frogs will do a double BP event to screw over a new game.

Just too bad that even double BP won't fix up every issue they have.

Double BP but you have to deal with boons, SWF and MMR?

 

[BrunoMattei]

They're having issues with their site and/or the servers and no one has gotten their keys yet. Only a handful of streamers are in at the moment.

I was wondering about that, I signed up under four different google accounts and emails.

 

[White Devil]

Any info on keys yet? This kind of clusterfuck this soon does not build confidence.

 

[Yuri_]

It will be shit

They're now saying that AWS (Amazon Web Services) is down and that's what their site uses and no one is getting keys. They're saying that the streamers are in the game because they gave them custom permissions or some shit. Not a great start. Everyone in their Discord is kissing their piddly asses. I wouldn't be pissed if the fucking streamers weren't given special treatment.

I agree. That, and how much they push faggot streamers is concerning and it makes me unsure if I want to support them at all.

I'm getting FtTtG flashbacks. Probably gonna wait for whatever the Dragonball people are doing at this rate.

Nigga, I'm getting Street Fighter V beta flashbacks. Same thing happened there where streamers were given special privilege's.

So let me take a guess what's going to happen:

Streamers shill and bring their gay little community into the game, most likely streamers and communities who aren't even into the genre. They'll play for a few weeks, complain on twitter about xy and z (survivors too weak/strong, or killers too weak/strong), the devs will patch the game in response to complaints, and turn the game into dbd 2.0 where either survivors or killers are too strong/too weak, and by the time they patch their game to satiate everybody's desires, those people will have fucked back off to their variety stream and just playing whatever game their variety streamer of choice is shilling at that moment, and the game spirals into irrelevancy. Or maybe dbd streamers who complain about dbd, play vhs for a few weeks, then complain that something in dbd is done better than vhs, so then the vhs devs in response make it more like dbd, thus starting an endless feedback loop of complaints which they can never fix, and the dbd streamers and their community go right back where they came from.

If this game flops then the genre might just be a cursed one. I'm excited to see where this goes either way. I hope for your sake Bruno I'm wrong, bro. I can tell you just want a good game.

Well, they have this... Thing shilling for the game:

It's a guy doing a really shitty Robin Williams as Mrs. Doubtfire kind of thing.

Then they have this little faggot: https://www.youtube.com/c/dowsey

A little faggot who cried when I called him out on the Discord for his comments that SWF in DbD should never be nerfed and he ran away and cried to the devs and banned me without warning. Keep in mind that I didn't call him any names but a mod used the justification that I said "sperg out" and claimed it was ableist. So there's that. I still want to give this game a chance and it's like a the enemy of my enemy is my friend situation.

Most of what I've seen is them catering to gender specials and a bunch of degenerate faggots asking them to add trannies and other assorted lbgt garbage.

 

[AcidityLiquidity]

Wow- that is a massive amount of catering to tards, trannies, and various other 'tisms.

Hope the game is good though! DbD fucking blows atm, and some healthy competition never hurts.

This thread has the potential to become a community watch thread if the soyboy devs continue down this route.

Nobody has played VHS and it's already infested with the LGBT.

Off to a good start i think.

 

[Kotol]

It's funny though, isn't it? We have the Blizzard way of balancing, not playing your own game but still insisting that the playerbase knows fuck all about balance or fun. Then we have the frog/pussy way, playing or not playing your own game but taking player feedback into consideration so much that you balance the game around the bigger side having the time of their lives while the other side just quits out of frustation.

Can't we just have devs that play their own game AND see the bigger picture in terms of balance and only consider player feedback when something is unfun to redesign it? Also, stop pandering to streamers and alphabet people and just gimme a good fucking game ffs. Eh, server problems or whatver are never a good sign, but I can wait. The pandering makes me uneasy though. That shit festers and becomes worse the longer the game stays around, because gradually it infests the developers and their decisions. Let's hope it's just a current year marketing strategy.
