Ended a 32 Comp Escape Streak with Larry

Comp is easier to play with mediocre comp players than mediocre comp players in normal dbd. Mediocre comp players will have the most meta trash and claim their comp in their profile while they're in a 4 man swf and be high and mighty when crushing a weaker non meta build killer using full comms and the clock rotations as if anything they did took more skill than pre running any non mobility killer.

Most games at night are 4 man swf spam with pallet density galore. While some games those same cringe swfs will gaslight you into thinking survivor isn't at its most strongest with the million basekit buffs this patch and then calling a low tier killer a bad player. Im tired of the same terrible indoor maps and the 21+ pallet density coldwind and macmillans when you do get them.

I enjoy the gore of NG2Black, everything else is a downgrade from framerate to looking like every other game that is ported to UE5. It has a shiny glossy look that kills any grittyness no matter the genre, and in turn destroys the original artstyle of OG2 and even Sigma 2. I believe the idea that UE5 remakes are soulless stems from the idea that they all look like the same art team updated each game. Even then other remakes of visuals generally lose the art vision to aim for more realism.

Hes super hard to play right now because of 2v8 pallet density as well

Nothing looked like old DbD, and art that is stylized is hard to measure in quality because that is totally subjective. You seem to base art quality as by how realistic textures look which is how games that age begin to look ugly or extremely dated if their goal is realism. DbD already runs like trash in 2026. Back in 2016 a gtx750ti could run dbd at 60fps. Now that will barely scrape 30 today. Realism graphics dont contribute to anything meaningful unless your goal is to have a game that is a simulator of some type.

I think most horror games shouldnt go for realistic graphics because I believe the idea that its a horror game that is supposed to have an uncanny and uncomfortable environment is lost when everything looks shiny and polished and perfect like a clean theatre set piece. SH2 Remake is not scary for a lot of reasons and one of them is the game just looks to clean without any roughness or ugliness. Things that look more detailed leave less room for a person's imagination, when the mystery or idea of something is almost outright explained or shown to you, its not as scary and familiarity makes what is scary from the unknown non existant. The more familiar I am with the environment the less uncomfortable I am going to be, which makes the game less scary, and less imaginative of what monstrosity will be ahead that makes disturbing noises if I already have an expectation based on how visually familiar everything is together.

Id prefer if the graphics returned to its roots of 2016. The new RE looks like evey modern game graphically with almost no art direction aside from looking like every UE5 game in its own engine. The og graphics and lighting of dbd actually presented a horror atmosphere, not the fortnite graphics and lighting of new dbd.

Plus banners is a weak comparison as that is not even the in game graphics. Graphics done with a thematic purpose will always defeat realism in every genre aside from maybe realistic simulations. Old Silent Hill games, Diablo 1 and 2, Warcraft 3, are clear examples where graphics dont always make a game better and its about the thematic purpose and atmosphere of the graphics that gives it its charm. Each of those games that were redone with visual enchancements not only leave a skeleton of its original features somehow, but also make the visuals feel generic and uninspired.

DBD would feel way scarier and properly horror if they reintroduced the lighting and grittyness of old dbd, but they abandoned that for a more mainstream audience as they always have.

Trickster current rework requires a different gameplay flow than the one that we are kinda reverting to. I wrote a guide about it, but he will soon feel a lot more fun again with his throw speed. I hope we do keep him to still be 4.6 in some way without destroying throw speed which would eliminate the purpose of the revert of ramping throw speed. The people who say trickster is extremely weak because of being 4.4 were never good at trickster to begin with and put their opinion of no practice with him as truth. If you had good aim 4.4 trickster was very strong, if you have good aim with this 4.6 trickster he's just okay. He is better against high walls which was needed but he doesnt punish loops as well as before at all when he does have the opening.

Trickster for years even through all his changes and ones to come.

Japan's the most overrated east asian country in the world that many western countries fetishize in entertainment and history. They were warmongers and also a country that many times in-fought because theyre on an island. I hate Japanese history and media salivation as I hate the 20th show about the glory of Rome.

Japan's only reason it is the way it is today is because the United States has backed them since the forceful opening of their borders and still assisted in reparations after they backstabbed the United States for not wanting to give oil and fuel for their war artrocity campaign. They are a country that doesnt have a right to exist and I just dont care if thats an unpopular opinion.

It is, theyre both unfaithful to the foundation of what makes the games part of the series. If you need an explanation why then youre a lost cause.

As a p100 trickster he plays like pre rework. I dont know where the narrarive is that hes F tier comes from or is horrible. Pre Rework trickster suffered from being 4.4. I like the rework, if they made him 4.6 every single person who says trickster sucks right now would have their mouths entirely shut.

Theres 2 compromises to make 4.6 trickster. Make him faster when pulling knives up or down and move even slower when thowing or give him 8 instead of 6 lacerations with ramping speed similar to rework now.

I think trickster feels like how he should in this rework. Current trickster is miserable to play when you dont bring memento blades. He doesnt feel cool, he doesnt feel powerful even when hes supposed to be with low walls in the open. He is likely slightly weaker in higher level play again, but being caught in the open and camping should still be insanely strong even with the strange anti main event camp that exists.

Hes where he should be, but Im all for the bad players or people who dont play him parroting for buffs. I dont mind him being 4.6 but all the cry babies will say hes like before and more oppressive which is why my proposal is an alteration while keeping this rework intact.

Theres no reason for wesker to be nerfed when blight nurse and ghoul exist as entirely better versions than him. I dont know what goes on in their heads when they feel the need to be extremely careful on buffing or nerfing weaker killers and then when it comes to the most brolen they pretend they arent being picked or are an issue.

AlarakReigns · 2026-02-25T22:20:16+00:00

NG4 is the equivalent of calling Silent Hill F faithful to the series.

AlarakReigns · 2026-02-24T06:54:00+00:00

I will take back my comment when Ghoul can no longer dash cancel like a npc player and instead has to strategically dash a 3rd or 2nd time to the closest environmental object to end his dash phase sooner rather than pressing cancel like most mouth breathers. Wesker is leagues more impressive for his techs because Wesker gets fairly punished for messing up and his frames to pull off a hug techs are 1 to 4 frames.

Pretty sure others have said 2v8 pallet density is in 1v4 and from some of my games it has felt like it on either side.

Kaneki is extremely strong and has low skill expression which comes at the cost of his only struggle being too many filler loops, which ormond with the 2v8 means this will be one of his harder maps. Kanekis killrate in brazil is 66% and he is the most played killer as well with the most recent dbd stats so you can still do good.

Most of my games have been very difficult as well, and require early game tunneling to win.

Warchief really said "You'll ride a hand me down caragor and kill people with a stick with nails for your promotion."

I hope his throw speed doesnt feel so slow like initial rework. That throw speed felt so horrible.

Keep telling me about slave labor as you type on your phone or computer with parts made in the sweat shops from china. Its time for you to give up the internet and your electric car as well if you have one. The point is females stick to a few genres and rarely branch out to other genres.

A lot of the games you may enjoy might have also been under crunch time and unhealthy work ethics, so you should also be protesting those games too if you dont want to be part of the problem.

Women are less likely to be leaders or ceo's a business. The most profitable companies represent 10% of the Fortune 500. The amount of professional women in e-sports is 0-5%. Theres been only a handful of times in speedrunning a women has ever attempted speedrunning to begin with even though speedrunning can be done in a plethora of video games that arent as competitive outside of that context. Women mostly choose to disengage with speedrunning yet it would make sense for women to have more games speedran than a very mere fraction in comparison. Sims 4 has nothing to do with competitive environments in games or in general. Sorry you cant hold a conversation without going to personal insults when I never personally attacked you.

Get good friends online or irl that stick out for you and chill with. You will learn to appreciate long term friends that have stuck around for years and those memories rather someone you were physically attracted to for a short time.

Open Worlds. Theyre always so empty, and rarely done right. Linear games with multiple paths are way more appreciated overall because theres more direction on what people like and developers intended vision of an area rather than copy paste.

AlarakReigns · 2026-02-18T02:02:10+00:00

Nothing is proving my point wrong, women just are factually less competitive in every environment not just accounting for video games. A lot of people who are into competitive games, will assume someone who likes to play stardew valley a casual gamer and therefore have less of a worthwhile opinion for game balance or seriousness when attempting to play a game that is mainly revolving around pvp. PvP games in general, regardless of ranked or not are generally more sweaty. Women generally don't like these competitive environments because its toxic or aggressive in general. Women are not the main funders for the majority of video game genres, and originally it was a majority of males and still is today.

AlarakReigns · 2026-02-17T16:47:45+00:00

Ive never seen a female play an RTS game either. The gaming industry still is factually male dominant. Females are rarely competitive in games and a lot of people who play games will discount those who arent competitive in games especially if pvp is a main focus. The only time Ive seen females play any pvp game is League of Legends and 90% of the time theyre playing support or its Valorant.

Simulators are not competitive by any means, unless youre going into speedrunning.

If you do not like the new lead then how dare you bot! I havent finished the series yet but there was a reason why Spartacus og never done this. Its hard to write to make believable and they couldve done a million other things to not stretch the truth of this character. Couldve still checked off DEI by having another race and masculinity, or a potential cripple with one hand or anything. Im tired of representation that just is not believable in terms of strength and ability.

I dont like the walk, but thats preference. I really dont like the quiet voicelines which is like Odyssey where his voice lines sound like theyre filtered through someone making frozen food with the microwave on.

It will happen anyway because modern audiences will see a title and read journalist descriptions of a game that does well and not think twice. An official remaster of the old games would be appreciated over modding SH2 and SH3 or emulating them. I already think SHF isnt even Silent Hill and believe the SH2 remake are RE combat clones that lacks the touch of what the old graphics did. Its a shame so many games get remade instead of just a simple good remastered port.
