  1. personally i dont think there is much more they can do to this game, i think the issue is its 1 of a kind and everyone flocked to it like a free crack giveaway on the corner lol and everyone was playing it and only it so yea you will get burned out on the game fast. same for myself i got burned out and let it go for like a month and came back to the new update. now for ghost hunter corp sorry but im not a fan of it seems like since phasmophobia came out people decided to use someone elses idea of a game and try to make it better which did not happen along with a couple other games that ive seen that look pretty bad. ventex i get where your coming from but with nightmare on elm street and scary movies in general its kind of hard to implement things from a movie to a game well at least for this case besides more jump scares. at the end of the day its just a ghost hunting game period thats it no more no less just seems now its more like people want to complain cause its not fun to them no more or want more than whats to offer and i say to them find another game you will be back 🙂

  2. Im really hoping for more lore with each ghost. Just to give a little more immersion.

    Some QoL features would be nice too. like popping open the journal while in a house to see your current mission objectives as well as your daily's.

    The ability to "tag" rooms would be cool too. On really big maps with randos that dont like to communicate or cant, it would be nice to drop a marker on a room that they can see.

    Maybe a portable GPS item that can help newer players navigate those big maps.

    More items to help during a hunt. Like stamina pills to give you more sprint and sprint recovery for a short time.

    Ability to kick randoms would be nice too. I hate getting some dumb dumb in a game that wants to fool around and waste items or get people killed.

  3. This video is SUCH good timing! I just watched your old livestream for your first time playing the Exposition update a few hours ago! I wanted to know your thoughts because I just played the update for the first time just yesterday. The update is great! However, I feel like some of the sounds aren't scary anymore… The grudge-like croaking (rattle?) sound is so mellow now. That sound used to scare the bajeesus out of me every time. Some of the gurgling sounds sound kind of goofy and comical as well instead of scary. But all in all, great!

  4. the changes to hunts are very important to the horror aspect going forward. not being able to tell its hunting unless its close (ie. somewhat within killing range) helps make the game a bit more stressful, along with needing to disable your flashlight/tools so the ghost cant find you. more events with scary "thematic timing?" would definitely make the game stronger for longevity

  5. I like the new changes. Some improvements would be make the camera not take up so much area of the screen. Dots needs to be bigger or more of them. Would love a fit bit that tracks your sanity that you can check without leaving the house. It does need more ghost interactions. However, it is a really good step in the right direction. Hope he continues to make it bigger and scarier.

  6. I could be wrong but I think the DOTS work more like ghost events: Rather than actually scanning the area for the ghost, the ghost kinda just spawns by the projector (when the game decides to show the evidence), so you don't need to cover the entire room.

  7. I'm with you: this update is GREAT, but it's just a step in the right direction. This game really needs to up its "spooky factor." Have flashes of unknown sights/ sounds. Things in windows. Stuff that makes you question "did that just happen?"

  8. The horror 2.0 and new content drop on the Trello both sound like they'll be great and make things scarier and harder. I'll be honest, I'm still unsettled by Phas. But I've also not sunk that many consecutive hours into it. I tend to play it where I play a couple of maps and leave again, so like 30 minute sessions. Phas is a great game for that where you can just play a short while and then go play or do something else. I'd imagine if I was streaming it 4-8 hours daily, I'd not be scared either. I do really love the creepy noises on the paramic now though

  9. Mates and I mainly want the ghost to just do more, near the end of playing it we used to just leave in the van if it didnt do anything within 5 mins or so even if we didnt know what it was. Pretty much kept rerolling maps until we found one that was fun.

  10. Agree with all you said 🙂 It's just a start and if you look at the Trello thats even more apparent 🙂 More is incoming.

    With having that said, I think they did a great job with this update. I dont have even a 5th of your hours in the game, its a game that I keep installed and always get back to. And its cool to have new experiences with every revisit.

    I give this patch a 8.5/10 with the knowledge that even more good stuff is incoming.

  12. I just launched a new ghost hunting server specifically cause of this update. I'm banned from the Phasmophobia discord (probably because I use Night Vision long before DK even thought of it) I also advertised it which he didn't like, but then again I don't know if DK banned me. Glad to see you still at it 'old vet' eventhough me and you didn't see eye to eye at all either. I decided to basically take my peeps and run. Now its more like a cult. New update is great, but I agree there needs to be MOAR.
