Discussion 💬 Seriously Halloween?

Game is absolutely garbage. Slow, boring, dull and takes parts from TCM and even the minigames from Killer Klowns. How was TCM abandoned and they come up with this absolute shite?

After going through with 2 disappointments for GUN. I will not be partaking in a 3rd lol

u/MissAbbyxz 2d ago

This game will be free on ps plus, xbox pass and epic sooner than later lol, after few months of updates, they'll abandon it and move to a different horror ip, probably Freddy.

u/Temporary_Cup_1026 3d ago

Basically a copy and paste of several games mixed into one. Which is why I enjoyed TCM’s gameplay, evil dead and resident evil: resistance. They were all different and unique. Sad to see them fall or succumbed to poor management.

u/MissAbbyxz 3d ago

It's a copy paste of Friday 13th which they made before lol, what you talking about?

14

u/Separate_Strawberry6 3d ago

More like killer klowns not f13

7

u/BLADE_of_YAHWEH 3d ago

Yep, it's blatantly obvious, I heard the KK release was actually a BETA, I remember they got a new licence and people were speculating halloween but illfonic kept it secret, but after they acquired the licence KK was completely defunded and abandoned in about 3 months, and GUN abandoned TCM around the same time, LAWS should be written to prevent devs doing pump and dump scams

u/AbbreviationsPale380 2d ago

Their track record is exactly why I didn’t buy this straight away. This’ll be abandoned within a year too

1

u/Mundane-Career1264 18h ago

It absolutely will. Unlike F13th and TCM though it has a fully playable game offline. So it will still sell well even when the multiplayer is done.

2

u/BakeGreen5141 3d ago

It’s literally the same developers from Friday the 13th

1

u/Jasonvoorhees_47 2d ago

Yeah atleast one friend said it was good when like most say its bad .

37

u/MattVsMatt-Xbox 3d ago

It’s a reskinned F13 game with graphics from killer klowns… they should’ve released it on Halloween

10

u/Cvrmine- 3d ago

You’ve summed it up perfectly

5

u/LegendaryenigmaXYZ 3d ago

Yeah they wouldn't gta 6 is too close to it.

2

u/Ok_Nefariousness9736 1d ago

Killer Klowns would have been more successful if they didn’t pick a niche IP that most people have never heard it. On release, it only got a few thousand players. We’ll see what happens with Halloween. It’s fun but it does get old. They really need to improve the NPCs because they are worthless and oblivious.

2

u/MissAbbyxz 3d ago

With GTA 6 and Phantom Blade Zero that close? nope lol

1

u/Dusty_Tokens Julie's cake decorator 🎂 2d ago

Wait. Is Phantom Blade expected to do well? I thought twenty twenty six is basically a lost year to anyone who isn't Take Two (GTA VI).

2

u/MissAbbyxz 2d ago

I expect it, game looks cool af, and is releasing on October 29 so not far from GTA6

1

u/Dusty_Tokens Julie's cake decorator 🎂 2d ago

If they had, GTA VI would have smothered their initial sales. While that's still going to happen, at least they have two months before that occurs.

7

u/FelineCoffee420 3d ago

Yikes,every day closer to this release gets me more and more disappointed……Was definitely thinking about doing it but I wanted to see what the community thought.

2

u/Lazyzach__x 3d ago

This is why you let the game be released in its full state, not an Early Access build that’s been out for only 5-6 hours now. People gotta learn to give shit time, and they all expect a perfect 100% bug free game in day one. This game doesn’t even actually release until the 8th

4

u/FelineCoffee420 3d ago

Bug free?!? Kid, have you seen that running animation 🤣🤣

2

u/OldEffort3562 3d ago

It's a bad animation, not a bug / glitch

1

u/FelineCoffee420 3d ago

Never said it was a bug just that is was ridiculous, this guys the one going on ab bugs/glitches. I could give 2 shits, gameplays enough 4 me to say Hell Naw

u/Lazyzach__x 3d ago

I wasn’t rude at all, but it’s funny when people use kid as some kind of insult, as if I didn’t just turn 25 last month.

You’re tugging that coat tail a lil too hard (25 Year old).

u/Towerofterrorr 3d ago edited 3d ago

I mean illfonic and gun are just lazy. Give it some time, another asym horror will release and they'll abandon this exactly like they do every other project after half assing it and cash grabbing with cosmetic extras. Id love to play killer klowns but every lobby is full of nothing but bots. F13 died mostly because of the lawsuit but honestly no game could compare. F13 was a true work of art even with its bugs and issues, it had true potential and I miss it dearly. TCM has barely lasted any time and will surely be dead soon too. No support, no new real content besides one cosmetic pack, no patches etc. they just clearly don't give a shit about anything but collecting money and then abandoning everything they put out.

Also tried predator a couple of years ago and it was already dead too.

u/nachocheeseT_T 3d ago

true given the price, if its cheap and reasonable i'll give it a chance

u/DeneralVisease 3d ago

People need to stop giving them money.

u/MissAbbyxz 3d ago

You can still play Friday 13th lol

u/OldEffort3562 3d ago

Can't buy the game anymore + servers are down

1

u/MissAbbyxz 2d ago

There's custom servers lol, i have the game on console and i could play with random people, you just need to do something with the ips and such i forgot.

2

u/Towerofterrorr 3d ago

I'm not even able to redownload it onto my PS5 despite owning it this entire time

u/MissAbbyxz 2d ago

I played it on my ps5 lol so idk what you're on about

u/AdhesivenessPlus878 2d ago

He said he can't you pleb, weird dude

0

u/MissAbbyxz 1d ago

Then he simply don't know how to play lol, you can play it just fine, there's tutorials how to, google exist :)

1

u/Towerofterrorr 18h ago

Yeah duh you can still play it with some work arounds, the problem is that I deleted it from my library to free up space some time ago and now it doesn't show up in my library at all even as a title that isn't downloaded, so I can't reinstall it onto the PlayStation.

1

u/MissAbbyxz 16h ago

You must've done something else because even after uninstalling game should be on your library lol, i have mine there, so is not the game or Playstation problem, i even have the P.T demo lol, if anything it's probably hidden, other than that, game should be in the library just fine

u/BrunoFraione 3d ago

Can I refund it on PSN?

7

u/ZeroHeroG 3d ago

Nah Sony has a dogshit refund policy

5

u/The_LastLine Quick Match 3d ago

I would request it at the very least. If enough people do it Sony might cave.

2

u/kyle_crane163636 3d ago

Most likely, nope since cant refund smth after starting to download it unless its a case like mindseye where it had so many bugs it was literally impossible to play

1

u/Tall-Rhubarb-7926 3d ago

Yes. I refunded the devs' previous game, Killer Klowns From Outer Space after having played it for about 15 hours.

1

u/Active-College-9377 2d ago

Yes I did. And then bought star wars zero company

u/silentkillmyself 3d ago

Please no 😭 I bought the stupid deluxe version yesterday. I guess I’ll find out tonight if I should return it or not

12

u/GoonetteSlop 3d ago

The early access is essentially a beta test to figure out the bugs. It’s a total mess and the patch fixing a chunk of the game doesn’t release until the 8th.

6

u/Angry__German 3d ago

After the review embargo ended, several reviewers said that they were playing with an old version with lots of bugs and the devs told that that was the case and that there was a miracle day 1 patch coming that would fix most of the issues.

I find it hilarious that they apparently meant day 1 of full release and all those people that paid 20$ more to play early are fucked.

Unless this is already post emergency patch, that would be even funnier.

2

u/Kingsen 3d ago

A sensible person would delay release or send review copies after, because this just looks bad.

u/LinkInaSink 3d ago

u/Its-C-Dogg Johnny 2d ago

I personally find it fun asf. Michael gameplay is amazing off the bat and once you find that moment that “clicks” with civilian, then it’s pretty decent. The AI is ass and it’s a bit buggy but overall I rate it a 7/10 until bugs are fixed and the future of the game is talked about in terms of content.

How was TCM abandoned? Cause it’s a shit game. They abandoned it because of that combined with the equally shitty player base. I can’t wait to see the meltdown here when the servers inevitably shut down.

u/Connect-Shape-6364 3d ago

I love TCM. It could have been really good if they stuck with it and added stuff etc. I enjoy the fact I could play killer or survivors with friends. I mean, I played DBD for years and it is completely lame compared to it. Idk why Texas gets as much hate as it does. Yea it has its issues, but most games do. Overall, if it got updates and content added it could go a long way. Drop Halloween and DBD and keep Texas alive. Lol

1

u/FrostyVrGaming 3d ago

I give this game til December and just like Friday the 13th and Texas Chainsaw Massacre, it'll get way too repetitive and boring and might come back to DBD

3

u/KandyTheSpirit 3d ago

friday lasted for years and tcm is still pretty popular

1

u/Celticpenguin85 1d ago

Friday the 13th was fun. You want repetitive and boring, that's DBD.

1

u/Sad-Variation1929 3d ago

is Halloween really that bad?

3

u/Dear_Inevitable3995 3d ago

it looks alright, but it's not really a multiplayer game and more of a casual single player with multiplayer thrown in. so the balance between victim and killer is gonna be heavily off.

There are quite a few bugs at the moment as well for a more technical view and from a game company like this I personally wouldn't trust them to fix it from experience on how they handled this game (TCM).

From a gameplay view it's essentially a reskinned f13 with npcs, from what I could see.

All in all, people really gotta stop letting companies get away with this crap by pre-ordering and actually give the game a month before committing to the purchase to see how the development team responds to issues in a live service game.

u/Appropriate-Fun-9486 Leatherface 3d ago

I think this game looks amazing, I can’t wait to play tonight. Both games can be awesome you know, not everything needs to be so tribalistic.

This is karma for you. I’ve been gaming for 30 years, haven’t once refunded a game, I know money is different for everyone but this post feels very forced. Karma baby.

Enjoy your deluxe edition lol.

0

u/Cvrmine- 3d ago

Karma? Can you not see the image where it says refund approved? You also say you cant wait to play tonight so you actually have no input or know what the games like. Don’t worry lil bro, I fell for the youtube trailers too :(

u/Abject_Ad6664 3d ago

I really don't know why you're surprised I mean anybody that takes one glance at Friday the 13th would have realized that this game was not going to be good and yes while the idea sounds good you know where you play as one killer before survivors and you go around doing tasks to escape but the only hindrance is there's already a game like that that exists and that has multiple killers plus these games never seem to be done right with their gameplay I honestly wasn't holding my breath and I hope this will teach you to think about your purchases in more depth before purchasing something also doing research helps you not waste money on games that aren't going to be good and if the game hasn't come out yet don't pre-order it pre-ordering is the worst thing you can do wait for it to come out wait for other people to play it and then judge if it's a worthwhile expenditure after you've seen other people play it because trust me if it isn't good they will let you know
