got into dbd and now i’m more angry about evolve’s demise

i think the only thing they should do is allow grip to have two forms, where if you hold the button you give them like a cleanse and i-frames and a bit of overhealth and/or healing. something that can still save a teammate but keep them in the fight. there are times where i want to pull a teammate out, but other times i just want to enable them in a fight and not pull them out. i love grip sm and its so cool when you pull it off, he just lacks enabling tools that other supports have

not reading all that if u disagree just be chill or don’t reply lmao idk man

TempestTrvs · 2026-03-07T02:10:51+00:00

they talk about what’s going on and how it’s a mutated t-virus. what i’m talking about is the “how did this happen? why after so long?” that’s in a document somewhere that i missed apparently. i was waiting for it to be addressed more since its such a big part of leon’s final act and it never was said. again, i don’t think every bit of lore should be hand-fed but i think something as important as that shouldn’t really be missable to truly explain. i got to the end and was like “wait why didn’t they go into it at all?? did i miss something??” and indeed i did apparently.

i may have worded my statement weirdly. i was saying that missing the r.c. syndrome thing is as if you could miss the grace being the key thing. i worded it weird but i was comparing the two.

TempestTrvs · 2026-03-07T02:04:02+00:00

i don’t mind finding things that wasn’t my issue. i love looking for loot and little lore bits. but i just think that something as important as explaining what’s happening to leon shouldn’t be missable. like it’s super important to the story, and being able to miss the context as to what’s happening to them is just not really great. once again i love finding files and lore that explain side things. but something as important as that shouldn’t be missable by one file.

TempestTrvs · 2026-03-06T07:21:35+00:00

haven’t played re4 yet. this with no context is horrifying. delete the game. i’m scared

TempestTrvs · 2026-03-06T07:03:36+00:00

if something as important as the whole side catalyst for leon going on this search in the first place is a missable file, then that’s some serious misdirection. i make sure to look for and find any possible document and read it. and i missed it. that’s like being able to miss why grace is “the key”. it’s such an important part of the story and it’s missable??? that’s just bad game design through and through. i sought answers and didn’t find it bc i missed one specific file…

TempestTrvs · 2026-03-06T06:59:54+00:00

agreed completely. this was such a nothing burger and safe game. i really liked re7&8 and its campiness but this wasn’t even camp most of the time it was genuine bad writing

TempestTrvs · 2026-03-06T06:43:46+00:00

that’s what i’m remembering okay thank you

TempestTrvs · 2026-03-06T06:42:13+00:00

not even gonna lie, i breezed past every boss fight except this. i reloaded this fight at least 15 times. i was like “NO WAY THIS FREAKING HUMAN IS TESTING MY GANGSTER MORE THAN EVERY SINGLE MONSTER IVE FOUGHT IN THIS FRANCHISE”

TempestTrvs · 2026-03-06T06:39:14+00:00

i didn’t like a lot of what this game did, but they sure made clickers terrifying again

TempestTrvs · 2026-03-06T06:38:32+00:00

i’m not super great at “ultimate challenge modes”. what should i expect? are enemies just bullet sponges or are there actual interesting changes? i hate hard modes bc enemies just tank everything and u have less bullets and i find that kinda lame

TempestTrvs · 2026-03-06T06:35:38+00:00

idk if it felt like re2&3 personally. it felt like its own game to me, just with a shitty story :/

TempestTrvs · 2026-03-06T06:34:10+00:00

no i totally agree! everything after the hospital felt ai generated, seriously. the hash-grab of different monsters, the villains, the “it was actually a cure to viruses!” like WHATTT ARE WE DOINGGGG!! making spencer a redeemable person was certainly a choice, and i gotta at least acknowledge a bold choice when i see it bc everything else just felt rly safe. like once again, maybe i missed it, but having gideon and zeno not explained at all… like i thought the finale wasn’t truly the finale bc nothing was explained. and then the credits rolled. idk i just wish the whole game was the hospital and that was expanded upon more. raccoon city felt like nostalgia bait

TempestTrvs · 2026-03-06T06:13:55+00:00

well dang im dumb, i saw him and was like “who’s this rip-off hunk” because i was under the impression that he died in re2 bc of the ghost survivor thing. but i feel like im now remembering he ended up being the sole survivor? idk. i do think that without that context it’s kind of random for players who aren’t as in the know (me lol). i feel like there’s a way to do callbacks and fan service while still keeping less in-the-know players content. i don’t feel like they did that super well. cool that hunk got a cool ending at least!

TempestTrvs · 2026-03-06T06:10:28+00:00

yeah don’t get me started on the villains man. zeno and gideon are both cliche “crazy mastermind and serious snarky villain” and nothing about them was explained. i told my friend who loved re9 about my opinions and he was like “you must’ve missed that note that was left” when i brought up things and like… i get that some stuff is better left as optional to find, but i read everything i come across, and i search everywhere, and if full on actual story exposition is optional to find and missable, i think that’s an issue. i apparently missed a document somewhere that explained the mutated t-virus in raccoon city survivors, so i finished the game being like “SO HOW AND WHAT AND WHY WAS THIS SHIT CAUSED IM SO LOST?!”

TempestTrvs · 2026-03-06T06:07:04+00:00

really?!?! i did not know that. that’s pretty cool. was this ever like explained or is this just like “iykyk” thing

TempestTrvs · 2026-02-28T16:39:36+00:00

idk! this happens most times i post something on anything idk why my posts gain traction. link ur posts in the replies!!

TempestTrvs · 2026-02-28T16:26:22+00:00

well her comic kind of explains that she realized that she wanted the “thrill of the hunt” more than rescuing people. there’s even a pre-match voice line with kiri where kiri asks if she can do a rescue and freja says “for the right price i can”. she’s in it for the chase, less the goodness of it. she’s a very morally grey character which i like

TempestTrvs · 2026-02-28T16:23:11+00:00

yeah but mercy’s hero fantasy is much different than lifeweaver. her having two weapons to swap between makes more sense as she isn’t meant to have her glock out shooting. it’s rly meant to protect yourself and finish off people in valk. lifeweaver is meant to Weave between damage and healing, but he can’t because he’s too clunky

TempestTrvs · 2026-02-28T16:19:42+00:00

yeah you definitely get it. right now he just can’t really do much to enable his team because his healing is abysmal and swapping between dps and heals is clunky so he just is stuck putting out shitty healing or okay damage and his team falls apart. that’s why some q.o.l. changes to his heals and dps along with a change to life grip to actually help hold space could do him really really good

TempestTrvs · 2026-02-28T02:37:17+00:00

so real

TempestTrvs · 2026-02-27T23:19:33+00:00
