Slasher mode from GTA Online vs Dead by Daylight

[Xenoborg]

I've been playing Slasher quite a lot since I am not allowed on Dead By Daylight anymore. While F13 is utter trash, the Slasher mode for GTA is done pretty well.

Everything is just...well balanced and well thought out. The lighting, the mechanics in terms of controller vibration, the simplicity, the timing etc.

A small game mode that someone in Rockstar thought of in probably 15 minutes just to cash in on Halloween is somehow more survival horror-esque than Dead By Daylight and Friday the 13th combined.

It's pitch black dark and you see something moving 10 metres away and you don't even know if it's a friendly or not. The suspense doesn't even wear off. It's constant and feels so well done.

It's so sad, because in that game mode, we don't even have mass murdering entities or ghosts or scary serial killers. Just a bunch of people in masks. And that's a thousand times more scary and satisfying than this game.

The maps aren't even dark or scary in Dead By Daylight. The hospital is flat lit. The only map that still kinda got to me was Lampkin Lane, but the credit for that goes to the movie franchise.

I'm honestly baffled. With all these perks, killers, powers, maps, rules, webs etc. how is this game still so mediocre compared to a simple DLC mode from another game that isn't even from the same genre?

Makes you think.

Additional questions:

1) Are the killers still as miserable as they were in July?
2) Are survivors still overpowered?
3) Was Nurse playable on the new Huntress map when it came out?
4) What about the revamping of the trashy killers?
5) How many new bugs were introduced in the new updates?
6) How many old bugs that were fixed a long time ago, came back in with a new update?
7) Is SWF still broken? From the looks of it, yes. But how is the matchmaking now? Still buggy?
8) Revamping of old perks?
9) What is this new soft ban nonsense? People who deliberately ruined games for others are being unbanned? Wow.
10) How soon is yet another DLC being pumped out?

Yes, I have been playing GTA V a lot. I've actually been a solid player since 2013, but joined the PC community right after being disallowed on Dead By Daylight. I was really expecting extreme toxicity levels in GTA V. I was expecting people to be breaking all kinds of rules and making it a point to ruin other people's games.

Oddly enough, that has never happened as regularly as it happens on Dead By Daylight. If I found a hacker, I reported him and he'd literally be kicked out within a few minutes. The automated ban system is amazing. I know a friend of mine who keeps modding in GTA Online, and he's had almost 5 accounts instabanned because the system could correctly identify external modifications made in the game.

It's quite sad to see the direction Dead By Daylight is headed. The community and the devs/mods are both responsible. But I'd blame the devs more, since they failed to keep the community healthy.

1 yes
2 yes
3 I don't know
4 They are revamping them, doctor's revamp came and he's more or less the same
5 A few
6 Some still persist
7 I don't think SWF is still broken. Matchmaking has improved. Bugs still exist but it's not nearly as bad.
8 Yes, some perks are getting revamped, or worked on. Self Care babynerf, huge buff to Urban Evasion.
9 Yep.
10 No new dlc since lulliby in the dark confirmed.

It is their fault for listening to the ones that scream the loudest and balancing the game accordingly.

I'm not talking about getting rid of problematic people. I'm not saying GTA is full of amazing, caring people. It's just that there is a sense of responsibility in the players over there. A fear of consequences. I never saw that here.

"Also, you cant really censor communtiy discussions and reddit, considering itd defeat the entire purpose of their existence"

You can't censor community discussions and reddits? Have you ever heard of a Dbd moderator?

Well SWF is a product of that. They weren't going to implement it until survivor started asking, and asking, then review bombing, screaming and crying for it. And we all know how well regarded SWF is nowadays

The moderators job is that people obide the rules. Most of these are respecting others in a fair manner and all of the spam ♥♥♥♥.
Complaining about something is not something that should be censored in a discussion board. Complaining can be healthy and good for a game, if done by mature and competitive people that have a clear head and firm grasp about what they are talking about.

You cant just be like "your opinion is wrong, so Im going to censor it."

No, it's not that the devs are listening to the people who are loudest. It's just that the devs do not know how their game works. You can balance something only if you know how it performs at various levels and magnitudes. If you don't have access to the data, or you don't want to access that data, then you end up making band-aid type, short term solutions to bigger problems, because you don't know where to look/you don't want to make the effort.
