What Do You Like About DbD?

[Morshu-Maxxing]

There's always so much toxicity in-game and the discussions, so I'd like to just take a break from it and ask everyone what they really like about the game? Whether it's a character, a mechanic, or even the story.

One thing I like about DbD is the uniqueness of it. A diverse group of survivors and killers going head-to-head to see who can escape, and who dies. There's professional killers, and professional survivors, as well as casuals for both, so it's always anyone's game.

What do you like about Dead by Daylight?

Same as you, sort of. I like games where it's the other way around and I can play the bad guy for once. Other than that it can get quite complex with the perk builds and strategies of countering this and that. Theres just a lot to learn here.

The toxicity is horrible but I start to harden up against it. If you don't take it too personally and just see most toxic people as some whiny man-children, you'll actually smile about their insults. Just never take this game too seriously, its still just a meaningless game.

Nothing. So I’ve quit :)

I like to be chased by a decent killer

[❤️ iValkyrie]

Browsing the steam forums every day. Sometimes i don't even play the game, i just browse while doing something else. Its funny to see what survivors are mad about each day and what suggestions people put forward and immediatly get shot down by a girzzled and salty community.

Funnily enough. That's how I ended up here. Steam recommended it after Evolve Stage 2 died. So sad.

What I like about dead by daylight is that if I'm just in a bad mood and I just want some free wins to cheer me up, I can always just play survivor.

Run around in a circle when found, focus down the gens when the killer isn't on me, equip a few get out of jail freecards as my perks. ez win, ez lyfe. No skill or effort required.

Every once in awhile i have amazing games. When the survivors and myself turn the game into a game inside of the game... for example, dwights playing locker shenanigans in the basement. Or a survivor griefing their teammate by dropping a pallet and blocking them. Or a survivor dropping a flashlight as an offering.

Or survivors letting me set them up for slug racing at the exit gates.

When you get out of the game and nobody is salty...those are my favorite games.

The potential for the whole slasher movie dynamic.
It's rare, but the games where you have killers that like mindgames and hijinx and actively mess with you (while still playing) are great. Also have way more fun playing like that as a killer. Sadly everyone is conditioned to rush at their respective objectives in an effort to gain BP/pips, and it tends to be a chase-grind for killers and a wait-grind for survivors.

These kinds of creature-feature horror PvP tend to have the same problems, though DBD has an interesting attempt at lore/setting with The Entity, and the killer roster is pretty cool.
