  1. I wish more dbd players could look past the rough edges and camping of idv, because its not the end of the world.

    Playing dbd for over 7 years, and Idv for a little over a year now, Im honestly enjoying IDV much more now.

    Also yes, costumes are EXPENSIVE on idv, but earning characters free on idv takes way less time than DBD, which is the more important part than looking pretty.
    AND there are trial cards so you can actually try a character before you put all your time into one.
    Dbd deleted theirs (on the main game) just because you could earn them free after an insane amount of grinding.

  2. 3:21 "Camping hooked survivors and targeting survivors immediately after they are unhooked is heavily punished by the game as it is not the intended way to play." Entirely incorrect. Face camping is punished, camping at a distance is not. Targeting a survivor after getting unhooked is also barely punished at all. Both play strategies are extremely prevalent.

  3. The mobile and gacha vibe turn me off IDV so hard which makes me so sad cause i love the overhall presentation, i'd love an acutal pc version and not just a port of the mobile one, mayhaps one day.

  4. I remember the time when DbD first came out and I wanted to play so badly but I didn't have any money. Few years later I was shook to see a few of my friends playing a DbD look-alike and I immediately played it lol. I play both games now but my friends only have IDV so I mostly gravitate to IDV.

    Also I really love listening to professional sounding Duko, keep up the good work! xD

  5. I was a dbd player since year 4 of DBD and recently I started getting back into the game. I have a friend, who played IDV for years before. We always kinda argue which one is the better game, but we don't actually know the differences in the two game. But now thatI learned that IDV has a gacha mechanic in the game, I'm going to have an upper hand in these arguments. Thanks!

  6. As someone with hundreds of hours in both, at the end of the day, it’s pretty much just a question of whether you want to play a coraline mobile game or a tbag flashlight clicking simulator and either way you’ll spend more money than you’d like on a game you have a love-hate relationship with.

  7. I kinda hate it when some people try to turn down idv by comparing it to dbd. It took inspiration (basically stollen everything lol), but overtime they changed everything, so now both games give you different experiences. Idv isn't a horror game for like 5 years now, it's more about gothic and edgy style, which allows all those skins to just exist there. Camping is a strategy in idv, mainly because both hunters and survivors have perks and abilities to perform camp/counter it. Also the fact, that survivors in idv all have different mechanics is great and makes the idea of playing survivors more interesting and diverse, you main a character, not a build for a character. Also some of idv mechanics are way more interesting than just "press this button to perform a special hit", idv have some shit like Photographer, who destroys survs by downing thier copies in another dimension (If I remember correctly, Demogorgon in dbd also uses another dimension, but more for the sake of fast travel)
    I like how you can find a character with basically any type of gameplay, that you may theoretically like.
    I kinda believe the games to be equal, maybe dbd is a bit better because of the fact that it isn't a mobile transaction-driven game, but still
    P.s. I also think idv skins are so much more creative and pretty, and you still can get mos of them while being f2p like🥱

  8. I like the scaling powers of IDV. The premise of this style of game is “either do a lotta damage fast, or stall long enough to wear them down”. Tempo should be in the hunters’ hands and they should be rewarded with the ability to close out games fairly well. My favorite character was the gamekeeper, the double-minigame of the hook aim and followup swing is rather thrilling, plus he looks and sounds cool. I enjoyed my time in IDV whereas my 8 hours of dbd yielded only bad vibes and broken friendships, but if i were to try DBD again, i’d play oni, because his design philosophy is so similar to IDV.

  9. IDV just has a silly chaos I love so much 😭 let me be a silly goose and make firework hearts at emil mains 😔😔

    great video as always, duko! my overall takeaway is that if you prefer something more serious, focused, and balanced, play DbD! If you wanna fuck around and find out and see the horniest players known to man, play IDV!
