COCKROACHES

[Bathnbody]

Can we please get rid of the cockroaches or at least give an option to play without them. There are a lot of people with serious phobias which all but make the game unplayable for them. Everyone should be considered. Thanks!

it a game there not real and i do think it makes a good part of the game

I can understand your phobia. I am deadly allergic to them in real life, but I have played this game because I have been able to wrap my head around the fact that they arfe fake. I don't go running out of stores in real life just because I see the toys of snakes and insects....it's a mind thing, that you have to get over if you want to play games.

If it makes you feel any better OP, there is a game where they make the cockroaches look like ice cream cones. I'm referring to Amnesia but I'm too scared to play that game for other reasons.

Im sure it exists but Ive never personally heard of people who cant play certain games because of cockroaches or other pest/animal phobias. There are quite a few other games that have cockroaches in some form I would imagine.

I dont think its exactly hidden that this game has them so if someone is that afraid of them that much virtually I doubt they would buy this game and maybe even knowing they could turn it off would still leave it alone based on screenshots and such if it was perhaps that severe.


I certainly feel like they add an extra element to the game myself though i wish I could improve other ways to get rid of them or faster perhaps as you gain skill but if its a fear of them wouldnt it be feel good to vaccum them all up and clean them out I would think?


Its nice of you to be considerate of those if this is a real concern but I'm just not convinced its as big an issue as your post suggests it to be perhaps.

Even those that maybe have that much of a phobia that it would prevent them from a game purchase how many would realistically want to play the game and for the effort it might take to implement such a feature to maybe benefit a very small number of potential players.


Now I certainly wouldnt be against an option to turn them off as customization options to tailor the gameplay style to the individual perhaps either built in or modded in some way but I would imagine it might be more hassle then its worth for the devs to do it for just the few missions and perhaps few house flips they are in.

hate to break this to you but, if someone had a phobia of walls in the game I doubt the creators would get rid of the walls. The cockroaches are there because its more atmospheric, just like how trash and dirt is in the game. You dont see germaphobes and OCD people on here complaining do you?

Would still be nice to see an option to maybe turn them into ants instead or something. Cockroaches give me the creeps.

I have OCD and the cleaning side of things is sheer relaxation for me in this game. :D

They're so small and completely uncharacteristic of cockroaches anyway that it's easy to assume they aren't even cockroaches

[Blackcobalt]

The ♥♥♥♥ roaches in House Flipper there not real unless they jump at you through your pc screen then you have troble.

I see so many sitty comments on his phobia. I does not matter if the cockroaches/spiders/snakes or whatever you are afraid of are in a game on the screen or if you see them in real life. If you are hella afraid of it, it could ruin the whole game for you...

I think more Roaches are needed, how about termites or better yet how about bee nest now that would be really cool. Or raccoons and possums living in the attic, bats and Bigfoots in the basement, the applications are endless. How about Aliens abducting me and taking me to a ship and probing me, expansions could be endless.

Scared of cockroaches in a game LOL, I've heard it all now, maybe the game needs a warning so as to cater for snowflakes.

I hear you brother, isn't that the most ridiculous thread you have ever heard, I was like are you serious! I guess they don't play Resident Evil. Maybe they should leave the Bugs and add a safe place with support and a closet where they can retreat, cry and hold a stuffed animal, what is happening to the youth of our country. Over sensitive, over Protected and over Medicated I am thinking!

I think the thing that creaps me out the most is using a hoover to suck them up... lol

[skrubbbles]

Really? I'm hoping they add even more creepy crawlies and nasty nests to clear out. Like fly and spider eggs hatching. Mwahaha

Agreed =D I don't really care if they let people turn it off or on but I'd love to see more of it, like rats and stuff.
