The DLC pricing and content, as well as the perceived underutilization of the Alien license, have also led to disappointment.
Frustration stems from gameplay mechanics and balance issues, particularly with the Xenomorph's abilities being countered by turrets and hitbox problems. Players are also frustrated with the pricing model, including the cost of skins and the perceived predatory nature of the DLC and microtransaction system.
Players are excited about the addition of the Xenomorph character, praising its unique mechanics, stealth abilities, and the immersive horror experience it brings. The detailed and appealing skins, as well as the fun gameplay as the killer, have also contributed to this excitement.
Satisfaction comes from the value of the purchase and the Xenomorph's mechanics and abilities. Players appreciate the unique and useful perks, as well as the detailed gameplay mechanics and the fun Easter eggs on the map.
Anger is primarily caused by the DLC pricing strategy, including the increase in price and the inclusion of paywalled content. Players are also angry about the immediate nerf to the killer after purchase and the overall perception of missed opportunities.
