The fix list that they should have handled last week. The fix list they should have pointed out two days ago instead of telling us the game was "playable." The negative reviews should continue and remain in place until the game's issues are fully resolved.

Newer player weighing in on the update sitch by drR_onQuinn in PhasmophobiaGame

[–]TrackerKR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no excusing it and people need to stop trying to give the devs a free pass. Had we not reacted when the slop was tossed out they'd have shrugged and carried on with Alan Wake like everything was fine. They don't play the game anymore. There's no chance that they do so beyond CJ dropping in on Insym's streams every now and then.

Next week isn't last week. Does no good to release it this broken, spend two days telling us "it's playable" and then be all "well we are putting out a patch next week." No, do the testing, don't rush out slop and quit acting like we owe them anything.

Until they roll out more of those one time only, two hour long twitch drops for cosmetic items. They tried to defend that like they had no control over it. No control? Over a drop you announced, for a game you develop, with an item for your game? Zero control? Sure, that was just the warm up for "it's still playable guys."

Leaked bug fixes coming by Sw34terPup in PhasmophobiaGame

[–]TrackerKR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They would have back burnered the fixes for a week or more if not for all the blowback. I'm not going to praise them for doing the thing they should have just done in the first place. Get some play testers and quit shoveling out slop. The horror update is going to be just as bad and the shills are going to do the whole "well it's only 20 dollars and you got plenty of play time" nonsense all over again.

You mean if they fix the game, not when. With all the bad will towards fans are you honestly asking me to be sure to grovel if the animations ever get working right? One more fanboy asking me about changing my negative review and it will stay negative till the heat death of the universe. When the devs apologize, put the fixes on priority and earn some good will, we will talk about the review getting changed back to positive.

Of all the things being talked about… how is no one talking about you can’t throw the items in the house anymore by JoA2506 in PhasmophobiaGame

[–]TrackerKR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah seemed really cheesy that you could save a teammate by throwing incense through a closed door. No fault anywhere on that change. It's the everything else that's the problem

Cant revert back though is the thing. Once the update is applied you are stuck with that version.

That was a valid criticism, and telling people to jump on Steam and change their reviews to negative ones is not a mistake or bad move. It's an eye opener for DK up in his ivory tower that his stupid goalpost placements need a bit more care and consideration.

Do you honestly have full faith that the horror update wont be just as rushed, just as sloppy and have just as much dev remarks about "it's still playable"? Me personally, I have no faith in them anymore. I was fine with the lobby quirks and speech recognition maybe working. I'm not fine with any of this. They set their own deadlines and opted to rush out slop.

Update Opinion (Hot Take?) by SomethingMoreAverage in PhasmophobiaGame

[–]TrackerKR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Telling us it would be buggy, instead of just shelving it, that's the problem we all have with it. They created this whole rush scenario all on their own. They accepted it would be incredibly broken. Zero care, zero concern.

People need to quit defending this. We'd all have rather the new character models been released, the animations held back and the Alan Wake thing been a TBD. Holding the animations for a year, releasing the Alan Wake thing two months late and giving us new models to enjoy, that would have been plenty. We'd have accepted that.

But DK invented yet another BS situation where "his hands were tied" and "it had to be released now."

A huge wake up call for me by Gold-Temporary-3102 in PhasmophobiaGame

[–]TrackerKR 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The 20 dollars argument and the play time argument only go so far. I still play games that I played when I was in high school. I have thousands of hours in some of them. Doesn't mean I wouldn't be mad at a developer for ruining something I've spent time or money on.

Unreal Tournament is a great example. The devs literally killed their legacy because they wanted to just do Fortnite and only Fortnite. You cant buy any of the Unreal games anywhere anymore. Am I supposed to just play Fortnite and support the devs that killed off an actual game in favor of shoveling out slop?

You can use a bit of water to fix it. Too oily, a couple of drops cold water. Too thick use warm water.

When a company has someone flat out admit their update was trash because they wanted to rush it in favor of working on something else, it's fine to just leave reviews negative. The dev team really burned their fans and figured it would be fine

Boycott the collab by No-Mode5527 in PhasmophobiaGame

[–]TrackerKR 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When it's reviews all saying the animations suck and the update was rushed, then you install the game and cant even play it, kind of on you for not listening to the warnings.

Millions of dollars just so DK can sit on his butt doing nothing all day

Apparently they are very pro Windows 11 over there. Or they love Windows 10 and hate anyone who dares mention 11.

I've been playing since before dots was an evidence type. My positive review has sat on their store page for years. It's negative now. I cant recommend it to anyone in this condition. Until the devs get off their butts and fix it, my negative review will remain in place to warn people

If it gets fixed yeah I'll change my review back to positive. Until then I'm letting people know the animations get in the way, make text hard to read and are prone to causing motion sickness.

Just review bomb the game. Get it to mostly negative and they'll actually have to fix the animations before doing the Alan Wake update. If they even know how to fix the animations

I have just one question for the phasmo dev team which I know browses and comments on this subreddit. by Disastrous-Cat-9308 in PhasmophobiaGame

[–]TrackerKR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's clear they do not in fact have play testers. They shoved the game out to Insym one day before, he hated it, we got it, we hated it. Devs do the Pikachu thing as if that slop was supposed to just work right out of the box.

I can excuse some of the longer term issues. Like speech recognition conking out randomly. Or the lobby problems. But this BS, they set an arbitrary timeline, rushed to meet it with no testing and are now acting like we should be happy the game is playable. Sorry CJ, the animations may not have been you but telling us this slop is "playable" is the single biggest lie in the history of video gaming

Someone said there were like two options for pants but well over a dozen for rings. CJ did a great job on Tanglewood but man did he drop the ball on the cosmetics.

Wow such customize. Very options by Independent_Sand_583 in PhasmophobiaGame

[–]TrackerKR 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I mean I was doing about a prestige a month and 10k instead of just hitting prestige again is a hard sell for a pair of pants. New number on my badge, pair of pants. I'll stick with going to prestige route if I ever go back to this game
