Money system needs to be re-worked

[WTGs]

Hello,

I found out that any equipment bought is lost and not refunded after each wins.
I do not see the point to have a money system If using any equipement makes the session worthless.

Honestly I cannot play this game anymore because of this.

You don't really have to buy anything in the first place, I won all my games till now without buying anything (unless I wanted to for side objectives), I'm sitting on 12K after 10 hours of playing. I agree that it's kinda dumb that you don't get the stuff you buy in a round refunded if you survive/win but if you are low on money then that's really not the games fault, the game gives you everything you need from the get go.

not really. you always get EVERYTHING YOU NEED.

learn to play the game by reading the guide at the main menu.

Problem is not a question of being low on money or not.

The problem is that, with this system, you do 95% of your game without buying anything and you stockpile money. Then for few games you are going to spend it for the fun. It is not necessary for the progression of the game. The equipment is here to give you a significant help in exchange for the risk to lose it. If you lose it whatever happen...then....what's the point?

Some objectives are not even worth it, (danger detector for 100$ to earn 50$???).

There is no real progress system in all of that.
So it smells like a feature to do like Phasmo without understanding why Phasmo put it there.

agree, unless the entire money system is reworked i'd stick tho phasmo

My godness are you like paid by the dev? You are on all the topic screaming your love for this game EVERYTIME.

Honestly, read my message before answering me GET GUD.

I say that the system is broken and does not work as a game mechanic, I am not complaining that I s**** a** in this game.

You said it yourself, we get EVERYTHING so what is the point to have money? For the lul?

nope. just you complaining about purchased items not saving is pointless since it isnt really required. you can buy extra stuff if you want extra stuff JUST LIKE IN PHASMO BUT YOU GET EVERYTHING YOU NEED JUST LIKE IN PHASMO

you get money much faster than in phasmo and you dont have to worry about bringing items between missions because you have excess money to buy what you need

so... uh..... what did you miss?

Good luck doing a game in Phasmo in nightmare with the base stuff but let me guess, it is easy for you because you are a pro player?
In Phasmo, you buy stuff and you carry the risk to lose it but ow man, you are happy to find those pills when you have a revenant on your back.
So that's why the mechanic in Phasmo is better implemented. You can go for a run with the base stuff but there is a high probability you will get your ass kicked or you can take equipement with you but you have a risk to lose everything. It is so well implemented that on some run you will decide to LEAVE before finishing the mission because you will feel that the risk is too great.

This game has none of that. The system is pointless and the best proof is that if there was no money system in ghost watcher, the game would BE EXACTLY THE SAME.

We are on a typical case of, Phasmo did it, so I did it also. why? no idea.

Does it make sense to throw your tools into the trash after each mission?
What is the downside not to have a owned items list so you won't waste your money.

Playing higher difficulty becomes not so worth with how items being done every end mission.

it's just not necessary in this one. once you start stockpiling hordes of money, you'll understand why. with the money i have in game, i can buy what i need when i need or when i want. im not saying your point is wrong, im just saying, the way the game has it here in this case is fine

[DiasFox]

Game has its own charm. But there are things like these should be improved to make the game more fun and worth it on the loops.

As of now, not only this problem. Even the video cam has no night vision function (Even though title screen showing the cam doing night vision). Flashlight cannot be used offhand.

[Cryptic]

the video camera is just a way to find where the ghost currently is in this one. i think nv would be cool but it isnt necessary since there is no orbs or haze/goo in this one to find

[Deathrowy2k]

I agree, why have the other stuff if you already have "everything you need". Why not just take it out of the game then. The money system needs redone.

[Deathrowy2k]

Why would I want to stockpile money for things that are not necessary? Why have the money or other items at all?
