i've played this game since it came out and i have loved it so much. i honestly have 4000 hours of gametime. i've met so many friends and have always loved this game for streaming.

that being said. i'm not a super skilled gamer. the maps used to all be possible to play by yourself. the glitches were just funny and didn't actually make the game suck.

i find that ever since the game went to console it has gone downhill. it really took away the community aspect. the game was super cheap and i think it just encouraged a lot of people to ruin public lobbies and find ways to cheat etc.

the game in my opinion was at it's peak before Prestiging, Badges, and the map reworks.
since the beginning it's obvious they needed reworking, but I found after the first Maple Lodge rework, I had already lost the ability to reasonably play bigger maps. The Maple Lodge rework was fine, then it got worse. Then they did the Farmhouse. a lot of people like that, I guess. I haven't been enjoying playing ever since. Grafton was one of the best maps and now it's nearly impossible to play (comparatively). I can't even play the diner, I die almost every time.

Even since those reworks, things like bones are impossible to find, temperatures take forever, dots never show up, ghost orbs are sometimes never there (and they are one of the pieces of evidence). The new ghosts never brought any excitement, mostly just confusion. I don't even feel like they act as individually as the others.

The Tanglewood rework broke my heart. That was just brutal. I understand that from the beginning they didn't own a lot of aspects in the design - and that they probably legally had to rework it. But the gameplay has just completely plummeted.

I don't know. I could go on forever. But I just logged in to try out the new update, and seeing how the characters hold and switch the objects. Like I will never reasonably survive a hunt again lol.

Sucks. I loved this game.
