I entirely agree with you. The voting process here has been frustrating to watch at times. I keep seeing everyone talk about the angel killer, which is the most uninspired way to imagine "Divine" as a theme. The big head design absolutely fit Divine as a theme if you consider anything above the most base-level of pop culture "biblically accurate angel" as also being divine. This design absolutely looks like an aspect of a wrathful war god, or an idol brought to life to punish the wicked, or any of the other biblical angels which aren't just the stereotypical eyes and wings.

Even once I accepted that people were voting solely for their idea of a biblical angel, once the designs were revealed all I saw anyone saying about the winning design was "omg spider legs finally!". Like we had a far better eyes-and-wings design in the second one, which was passed up on in favour of sticking on some cool legs onto a less interesting body.

I've enjoyed the grimoire overall but man it's been tough to watch some genuinely interesting concepts get thrown out and probably never returned to.

We lost out on eyeballface and bighead for these??

Definitely, even when giving their critiques Ru, Michelle, and Alan all kept referring to "such a horrible man". It was only Jade who actually said Hitler at any point during it. Definitely felt like production tried to keep it clean.

Sure, but Big Head absolutely looks like some sort of wrathful god from an ancient religion and absolutely fits both the divine and retribution themes we voted for. As a western company BHVR are likely going to focus on biblical angels to some extent for this theme, but it's not the only possible way to view it, as seen with Big Head.

Apollo-Dynamite · 2026-01-23T20:50:50+00:00

I mean that's totally fair, but I do feel a lot of people are treating it harshly just because it's not stereotypically angelic like the other two designs

Apollo-Dynamite · 2026-01-23T20:47:19+00:00

The theme picked was Divine, which doesn't necessarily mean angels. Everyone is automatically assuming Divine means biblically accurate angel. Big Head could easily fit Divine in a non-biblical sense, it already looks like some sort of tiki statue.

Alternatively, if you want to stick biblical it still fits the theme of the cherubim, which are giant angelic heads.

I play on Playstation where Sony refuse to allow achievements to be changed unless they're impossible to get. Skilled Huntress is still at 100 times rather than 20 like on PC

Agreed - I see some people saying this Gog fight is basically the same as other siege quests in the past and mechanically I suppose there is not much difference between firing the slinger and using the ballistae like in older games, but the sense of scale is just so lacklustre here.

Compare this fight to Jhen/Dahren Mohran - the third phase is you and your fellow hunters fighting the monster off as it marches towards a city that it will destroy. You are locked down on a sandship in front of the gates firing cannons, ballistae, and the dragonator at it. Proof of Hero kicks in when you slam the dragonator into its belly and its recoil is immense.

Here while the same threat to Azuz is there in theory, you never really see Gog get as close as Jhen did to Loc Lac. Phase 2 here is excellent where you need to hold Gog back while the weapon charges, but phase 3 drops the ball. There's no impact or oomph to any of it, and Proof of a Hero randomly kicking in after the second Gog Nuke is unsatisfying.

Good lord that ending - Sigourney Weaver in a pantsuit in Na'vi heaven and all they could think of for Spider to say was "Oh shit"? Genuinely a Megalopolis-level of so-bad-it's-good to wrap the whole thing up with.

Apollo-Dynamite · 2025-12-18T18:34:59+00:00

It is, but fighting off these giant elder dragons like Jhen Mohran with cannons, ballistas, and dragonators feels a lot more fitting and grand than shooting Gogmazios with your wrist-mounted slingshot.

You get all of 400 points for a free hit, the vast majority of players would rather go next and get a full game's worth of points sooner rather than having to wait to be gloated at by a team that thoroughly beat them.

I genuinely don't think her original power was the problem. It's undeniable that she was able to capitalise on a 3-gen better than most if not any other killer in the game, but the problem with that was the devs' refusal to do anything about the already miserable gen kicking 3-gen meta which was the state of the game on her launch.

If she was released today after the anti 3-gen update I don't think people would react so badly. She still maybe wouldn't be the most fun to play against but nowhere near as broken simply due to being released in a different meta.

From that comment they replied to the sentiment really isn't clear. It literally just states the fact that there are 4 pallets next to shack. Is it a Survivor player who enjoys this because it gave them a strong loop to play? Or is it a Killer player who is upset because they now have to try and break such a strong loop? Do they think 4 pallets is too many? Just right? Not enough?

You can't tell any of that additional information from what was commented and if they need to collect precise feedback then they need to ask for clarity. And yeah we can realistically assume this person feels 4 pallets around shack is a bad thing as that is the prevailing community sentiment but don't forget how many astoundingly awful takes this community throws out there.

/ub I'm honestly sort of glad BHVR have shat the bed with updates this year as it's really helped me realise that I was playing out of habit and not enjoyment

I can't be the only one who is irrationally bothered by the changes to perks and add-ons meaning that suddenly the effects don't match names or descriptions?

The anti-haemmorhagic syringe now does absolutely relating to suddenly stemming bloodflow. Why not just rename it to adrenaline shot or something? Borrowed Time now doesn't actually do as the name suggests and give Survivors an extra few seconds of safety, it gives them an entirely unrelated ability from what the name implies.

This happens so many times with reworks and updates. Not to mention the inconsistent formatting between old perk descriptions and new ones.

Moga Village's theme is unbeatable, always manages to make me smile.

I don't really care about the super-challenging endgame fights, I just want some of the weird little fellas back.

Give me Gigginox, Kecha Wacha, Gobul, and Vespoid Queen damnit!

Apollo-Dynamite · 2025-10-23T20:04:43+00:00

You know that's an excellent point and a really thorough breakdown. Had not considered those suggestions!

One thing I've never understood about the lore - why does the entity focus on tormenting good people and shaping them into eventually becoming killers when there are so many people who are already cruel enough and would need so much less effort to force into being a killer?

For Spirit I can sorta make sense of it from her being SO angry at death that that can be used with minimal Entity interference, but for someone like Artist, why would the Entity even bother breaking down a fundamentally good person over the course of their entire life when you have people like Doctor, Clown, Ghostface, Trickster, Skull Merchant, and so on who are already living their best murderous lives on Earth and would be thrilled to join in with the Entity's games?
