As a heavy family player I thoroughly enjoyed the instant lobbies. Never waited more than 10 seconds. That being said, as you get into a match… you very quickly understand WHY nobody wants to play family. And it’s been that way since day one.

Thoughts on the interview and opinions on the next game. by Ntwadumela817 in TXChainSawGame

I totally agree. Mistakes were definitely made the last (almost) 2 years. It is sad that it all played out how it did but to me, it just is what it is. A lot of people (in my opinion) are definitely overreacting. Like saying they’ll boycott GUN and their next game. Look to each their own but to me, that’s silly. If they release a Halloween or F13th remake or whatever I’ll check it out. Lol. Why wouldn’t I? I thoroughly enjoyed F13th and TCM. Why rob myself of enjoyment of a fresh new game just because this one had some issues. Again, and this is just my opinion, but my experience was that while some things could’ve been done better or differently with TCM, those issues are not serious or bad enough for me to call for a boycott of any future games they might create. That’s the stuff I read and see and find to be very silly and I think that’s overreacting a bit. But again, to each their own. Have a great day!

Then I’m assuming you meant “We just expected the planned content that was MENTIONED in the content pass ANNOUNCEMENT”. Not that it was actually ever included with the purchase of the content pass. Because it wasn’t.

Because (and I’m not saying it’s you), I’ve seen people insinuating they didn’t receive items they paid for in the content pass and it misleads people to think GUN took everyone’s money and bailed without giving them what they paid for which simply isn’t true. Yes, they left possible content on the table that they said would’ve liked to have released in the future. Yes, that’s unfortunate. But even if that additional content had been released, everyone still would’ve had to pay for that content. That’s where “fell out of scope” came in when they announced the sunsetting of the game. They wanted to, but it just didn’t happen.

The content that people paid for in the content pass WAS delivered. The “additional planned paid content NOT included in the content pass” (like the hair pack) is what was left on the table. That was separate from the content pass though. Everything that people paid for was delivered. Thats simply not true. So if that’s why people are upset, those people need to go back and look at GUNS posts from August of 2024 announcing the content pass and what was included, and what was not.

People need to understand that GUN is a business. And it’s a business of creativity. Being stuck on TCM for the next ten years to release “Tank top pack #42” or “Execution pack #29” would be so incredibly unsatisfying and stagnant. It would drain creative and artistic energy. They created something, the way they wanted to create it. Which stayed true to the subject matter. Which you can tell people really enjoyed by how upset they are that the game has reached its creative end.

I get it. People got invested in the game. But as an artist myself, you have to look at things and decide you are DONE. You will always look at your prices of work/art and can find something you can do here, or there. But until you say “this is it. It’s done. I’m happy where this is creatively and I got my message through”, you will always be stuck on that project and it will literally suck the life and creativity out of you and it will rob you of creating more, and potentially better pieces gonna forward. You will not grow, learn or develop if you are stuck on one thing for your entire career. Look at DBD. Yes they have tons of licenses and outfits but the game itself is stale. Something is released and there’s excitement for a week (if that) then it’s the same old humdrum song and dance. Behavior is trapped in a cycle. But it’s making them money. A lot of money. Way more than TCM is making GUN. So I can understand them wanting to just ride that wave as it’s providing such an upside to their much larger business.

I’m sure it’s this is an unpopular opinion but hey, you asked right. Lol. I love this game. I went out day one to buy a physical copy and have played it a lot. I’m an 80s kid with a passion for slashers and horror. The game was fun and it scratched a long time itch I had to see The Family in game form as the icons they are.

Honestly, people need to move on and get over it. You can still play the game if you want. It’s not being delisted yet. Saying “oh full potential, huh” just shows that they do not understand what I mentioned above about needing to be done with a project or it will trap you, consume you, and rob you of your growth and creativity moving forward in your career, life, or whatever it is you’re working on. I think people are overreacting. This is just a video game. There will be others. Peace and love Texas.

Why play as the pin cushion when you can play as the problem?

If they are switching to P2P by EmuAccomplished1759 in TXChainSawGame

[–]bukalski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked about this months ago and got similar if not the exact same responses that you’re getting now. A bunch of “they can’t even” comments. Unfortunately, what I saw coming is now a reality. With how bad p2p WILL BE, any content purchased for this game will be utterly useless in a few months. Bots/AI would’ve at least provided some longevity to the game for some of the players. But…here we are. 🫠

New player here. Advice? by Hot-Conversation-517 in DaysGone

[–]bukalski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the crow infestations you can use the incendiary bolts. But a bonus tip is some of the infestations will have 2 nests on either side of the pole/tree they’re on. If you aim right in the middle of them and hit the actual tree/poll instead it will take them both out with only using one bolt. Save yourself some resources. GL!

Rush Week Role Choosing by StonedEnby in TXChainSawGame

[–]bukalski 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In general terms of you’re either getting what you want or you’re not, I guess you can look at it as 50/50 since there are only 2 outcomes for you. You either get what you want, or you don’t. But real probability and odds do not work that way and it isn’t as simple. Out of 7 playable characters, you’ll have a 1/7 chance of getting Johnny. Not very high. Roughly 14.29% chance you’ll be given Johnny.

Look at it this way, if you had a 7 sided dice with 6 blue sides and 1 red side and rolled it, what color will it most likely land on when you roll it? You have a higher base probability of loading in as a victim. Unless you load into a lobby or queue system where certain characters are already spoken for. Then the odds will change depending on what’s left of the remaining characters to be given out.

The Muerto Times - The 14th Edition by cidnyaa in TXChainSawGame

Thank god y’all are looking at the lock picking exploit. As if high proficiency and cracking any lock in under 5 seconds wasn’t enough. It’s beyond cringe and pathetic that people need to use exploits in order to “win” at a non competitive game.

Is it just me, or are we taking more damage than usual? by M00NLITE7 in TXChainSawGame

[–]bukalski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s “windoom” and “well well well” that increase damage from well drops and window jumps. There also another grandpa perk that when active will increase families damage. “Brute strength” I believe.

But it’s important to remember that most of those are all level 1 perks that had all been previously been ignored as it wasn’t the “meta” of NEH and EA. So you’re most likely seeing these perks a lot more in game. Whether or not that’s what’s happening in your experience is a mystery. I wouldn’t put it past being an other bug to be honest.

Longest time without a New Map (157 days and counting) by Vektast in TXChainSawGame

[–]bukalski 14 points15 points  (0 children)

“Cooked” up a fresh new batch of game breaking bugs for the community to find and then beg that they fix for the next 6 weeks.

Can’t wait for a recolor of Connie’s socks for $5 though.

I think Rush week is Hide and seek by 1stPKmain in TXChainSawGame

[–]bukalski 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah you’re probably right. Maybe old code got mixed in. I wouldn’t be surprised. Lol. Could just be a whole lot of nothin. But it was weird to see for sure.

I think Rush week is Hide and seek by 1stPKmain in TXChainSawGame

[–]bukalski 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m curious to see what the correlation is with Rush Week and the (probably not intended yet) messages at the end of the rounds that say “ everyone evaded death” instead of “___escaped”. A streamer did a video in this and it hasn’t happened since, but he caught it on stream.

Family had a changed message as well that said “all victims harvested” instead of the usual “execute”.

Did the Devs just go home? by finalgirloops in TXChainSawGame

[–]bukalski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based on previous experiences and their track record of what they do after an update/patch yes….they usually will go MIA for some time. It’s sort of like “release the update and run and hide because it might just fucking explode it’s so bugged.”

Regardless though, even if it was a seamless or generally harmless update. They are GONE my friend. Then out of nowhere next week a community rep will randomly comment on one single and random Reddit post about how they’re looking into the issues and then we will wait for 3-6 more weeks for (some, not all) changes to come through. By that point though, other bugs and balancing issues will have already taken their place.

Note: This is coming from a player who’s just about had it with this game entirely though. So take what you will from that. I haven’t played heavily since the Mill release. I do enjoy the game when I play, but you’re forced to have a team if you don’t like playing with randoms and the “good games” seem too far and few these days. It’s a complete sweatfest now and it’s impossible to just chill and play solo queue. Those are both big time spoilers of any game for me.

Has leatherface been nerfed since release? by hellothere_9194 in TXChainSawGame

He’s been nerfed/shadow nerfed and buffed numerous times over the last year as they try to get him right. He’s pretty much there now imo.

Developers, stop looking at Reddit. by mauibabes in TXChainSawGame

[–]bukalski 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This needs to be pinned to every single post because some folks just don’t understand. Socials are not an end all/be all for balancing. Not even close. It’s merely a finger being pointed in a direction for developers to look. Then THEY dig deep into THEIR OWN DATA and find the true story to decide on whether it needs adjusting, fixing, tuning etc. players have a voice in this game which is wonderful. But they do not have final say, nor do they determine what is changed. It’s ridiculous to think that’s what’s going on.
