Hopefully the next tome in October is full alien and I hope Ellen Ridley gets the astronaut suit from the first film at the ending
Finally, a killer that feels fun to play as without being oppressive as hell
I just wish the mori had a face hugger
I played a few matches of Xenomorph in the PTB and I loved it so much it is the only killer I bought on release. I had a rude awakening when it released today and I played it only to find out they altered how the tail attack works, which takes away a lot of potential and lowers the skill ceiling significantly. The tail attack now automatically drags downward after the initial jab, which means its nearly impossible to hit over a single obstacle because it will drag itself down automatically and hit the obstacle your trying to hit over. They also increased the size of the hitbox so its easier to hit walls, especially on the new nostromo map [Which btw is more survivor sided than Garden of Joy] theres just invisible walls inside the gaps in the rocks. I played probably 6-7 matches with Xeno today and I only got to hit a survivor over an obstacle a single time, and it could have easily been done if they didn't screw the power up. Also they changed the Clown's bottle throwing trajectory for some unknown reason and made it so the smoke that tells you which bottle your using does not exist anymore. Bhvr threw this chapter in the dumpster, and this was going to be my favorite chapter release of all time from what I played on the PTB.
Tail Attack is 4.8m so its close to Nemesis T1-2 whip attack
My biggest grip day 1 of the PTB and day 1 of this release is the terror radius. How I wish they had included more with that component of the kit. The Xeno's biggest fear factor was the stealth and it feels like they could've done so much more with that. Besides that small complaint, I'm fairly happy with what we've got.
The Xenomorph's fatal flaws.
Lacks any kind of slowdown. Killers like Nemesis, Pinhead and Wesker have some kind of passive slowdown that gives them more time (the box, the zombies and the need for sprays). Xenomorph has none, she relies entirely on pressure and short chases to stop gens from flying.
The tail hitbox is way less generous and precise than Pyramid Head and Nemesis, sometimes the animation goes right through Survivors.
A turret placed in decent loops (shack, most main buildings, T&L/jungle gyms etc.) will turn the Alien into an M1 Killer before it can be destroyed, and we all know how M1 Killers fare nowadays.
The turrets entirely invalidates any kind of stealth. Even being Undetectable won't matter to a turret. A turret set up near a gen that Survivors are working on will negate any kind of possible sneak attack. This severely limits potential builds for the Xeno.
A half-decent SWF will have turrets setup near almost every gens they work on, making most chases start as an M1 Killer, even if the turret is destroyed fast enough the Survivor has made so much distance they might as well have Sprint Burst.
While healthy for the game, the Alien is horrendous at holding a 3-gen. In fact it's quite the opposite as Survivors can emulate Dull Merchant and set turrets near all 3 gens, making surprise attacks impossible.
The music is awesome now though ^^
Oh it is today I thought I was trippin
I love this killer I saved up all the points to prestige already have it's perk in the locker for my dredge
Guys just wait. I’m Getting deja vu from last year. A somewhat well received chapter for the anniversary. A banger full licensed chapter that is nearly universally praised. Then two dogshit original chapters that put the game into a downward spiral. Enjoy it while it lasts
I didn't really had a main in DBD, or in any game cause i like playing diffrent characters, not same all the time. In DBD, the problem was i couldn't find any that were fun for me.
Closest was Singularity but after more times playing him i was getting annoyed by the EMPs and stopped playing him.
Then there was Dredge but i hate his anti-loop, it's or the most unfair thing in the world or complete waste of time.
Wesker i thought is gonna be fun, he's not. If the loop is even slightly curved, you are useless, you can't use his power in loops but that's my favorite thing.
I tried Sadako but no anti-loop just sucks, BHVR should just give her ability to go through palets and maybe windows when Demanifest, you literally can't attack so what's the problem.
Doctor i had fun but…. I don't even know why i stopped, i just didn't play him at all even if i had fun with him.
All the other killers i find boring or annoying. Xenomorph i tried on PTB, was quite fun but i didn't play him against real people cause queues were too long so i played only with bots. His Tail is like Nemesis but actually fucking useful, don't need to hit survivor 4 fucking times to get somewhere and what i saw with Nemesis, his Tentacle is not hitting where you are but where you pressed the button. What i mean is that you can't go forward to "extend" the Tentacle range after pressing so you have the blue line under your feet or i think, it's fucking weird, if what i'm saying is true, he has technicly even less range but i'm not sure, maybe it just feels like it. I love tunnels, if it was Demogorgon instead of Xenomorph, it would be perfect for the upside down. Flamethrowers are a very nice counter, not really annoying and actially you can counter the counter… Double counter, so you don't feel like you just got fucked cause you exist…. Like this one character that has a counter but can't do shit with it and it's the reason people don't play him, can you guess who?…. Yes….. Freddy Fazbe- Singularity, it's Singularity. So in conclusion: Xenomorph has mobility that makes Demo feel like a proud father, Tail that is better than Nemesis entire life, actually fun and fair counter that Singularity could only dream of, Queen Xenomorph the 3rd has dumpy that even Pyramidhead could get shy, Demodog, Xenocat and Thanks Giving Turkey, can't see a better dream team. Thanks for listening
Just gen rush it's very easy
How I feel about alien is how I feel about wesker I think both are well balanced and their powers are fun to use and it's not to oppressive either you have the ability to counter both of their powers as well
Just waiting for the inevitable crippling nerf.
Hahahahahajaha! Perfect killer? Really? One the bully squads finish eating this killer, nobody else will play it since it's mediocre at best.
It deserves to have the option to crouch whenever it want's, the turrets cancel out the stealth so it would make the survivors place them further out to spot out the incoming threat. Have its tail stay the same just dont tie crouch to it as well imo reallly.
Yes alian is cool, the art work is amazing and the new map is decent as well that's the biggest shock with this up date.
However every thing just seams familiar playing with/against him. It's like they have buffed demogorgon and gave him a new skin, plus in chace you have to be honest it feels like a huntress. The tunnel system is cool but it's been done many, many times.
Survivors in chase huntress tactics works very well against him. Tunnel system is identical to old sadako, From the survivor view.
It's not all bad I'm enjoying the game now that the 9 month drought has ended. But for myself it's not hitting the high that I was expecting, or maybe I'm just been to picky.
It surprise me that ppl can’t vault fake against alien. They do have to pre button tap to hope for a hit
