The hype around the new Nicolas Cage license is insane to say the least, amid his funny perks, questionable voice lines, and drippy cosmetics it's easy to get lost in the absurdity of this new DBD chapter. But it's important to keep looking forward to the future and the risks and changes this may bring to the game. DBD is in a rocky state at the moment after the dull merchant and knight releases alongside the 3 generator meta. While this does seem to be calming down I can't to wonder if this is just the eye of the storm, or if DBD really is on it's way back to greatness. Either way in this video essay/short commentary I will be trying to kickstart the discussion of what exactly Nicolas Cage's addition to the game will bring to the future of the hit horror game dead by daylight. Guess I'm back with the Milk now. If you like me or my content don't forget to like, comment, subscribe and/or follow my twitch: You can watch me live here: / unladencrow If you want to send me something I now have a twitter! / crowunladen Everything below is algorithm pleasing word spam: Gen rushing is a problem in the asymmetrical horror game dead by daylight in which all survivors do a gen before a chaser is able to get a single hook. This gives the survivors an easy win that the monster is not likely to come back from fairly without the usage of a perk like NOED, rancor, pop goes the weasel, or everyone's favorites, Hex: "Just a little bit" Ruin and Barbeque and Chili for those extra points and those free points that are more reliable than the new free point codes from twitter and other social medias. The codes are only good for getting iridescent shards farming to unlock all characters for free (licensed killers like Freddy kreugar, Jason, Pennywise, Pyramid Head, Nemesis, Michael Myers, Saw aka Jigsaw aka The pig. With this problem solved many large dead by daylight creators like Monto, Trutalent, scott jund, and zubatlul would enjoy the game more, maybe noob3 would even return. However this is not the only problem plague-ing (get it?) Dead by daylight. Thousand Hour SWF squads, aka Thousand hours bully squads, SWF on comms, keys, moris, deadhard, body blocking, poor perk balance, lack of streamer mode, and overall toxic community can harm interest in the game and make it very stale to play. Add on top of that a poor rank rest system and no rank rewards things can feel like an unrelenting grind.
