^ the ghost can damage your trap.

Yah the tethering system and trap system need to be improved. When you are up against a player who really knows how to play ghost it’s almost impossible to capture them. Longer battery life and better tethering would be better. I had 4 busters tethering a really good ghost player and we couldn’t capture him.

Some funny bugs:
I was in a game with 7 ghostbusters and in another game with 2 ghosts lol

[mrmichaelt]

From what I gather, there's 5 levels total?
-Whitestone Museum
-Hudson Canyon Lodge
-Rock Island Prison
-Clock Tower Brewery and Pub
-RMS Artemisia

Is there an end boss or is it just Nameless during the cutscenes?

[Kalonthar]

I just play the single player and love it. I mean matches last like 4 minutes as a Ghostbuster (10 as a ghost) and I never lose, but the immersion is what I craved and I got it, lol. I know the mechanics need some work in terms of balance, but if I could get a game that combined the 2009 game and this, I'd be in Ghostbuster heaven.

Illfonic is will be adding more customization options and is taking ideas:

Is that an official Twitter thing or is it just Proton Charging trying to make conversation?

[Rookie99]

A No-Ghost or Rays Occult shirt under the flight suit would be cool. Or getting to choose what logo is on the suit.

The person he links to is the Illfonic CCO and looking at his feed, you'd see he's taking requests. Seems legit.

[Macktacular]

I asked for the Extreme Ghostbusters proton pack. That series doesn't get enough love.

[jonogunn]

I have to say again just how much I dislike the upgrade cosmetics lol. They are so drastic that it no longer has any parts of the original pack.

I’m all for comestic upgrades but I wish it went along the subtle lines of Afterlife. The Afterlife pack had lots of added/changed components yet it still looked like the original pack.

[zeta otaku]

yeah, I mean, I don't mind stuff getting bolt on, but completely REPLACING large sections just seems... off to me. Like, my pack looks like it's a brand safe knock off and I'd LOVE to be able to hide upgrades or, less likely, alternate visuals that aren't as drastic.

[timeware]

I don't mind them. We can always switch to the default mode, but I'm sure if someone makes the request they may consider something more simplistic. I had requested to be able to drive the Ecto as a Buster, possess the Ecto as a ghost, and possibly possess the remote control trap. I think it would add a little bit more incentive to choose the Ghost role if you could chase the Ghostbusters with the RCT.

[SpaceBallz]

I'm hungry for more maps already

[Ectojeff88]

Maps and ghosts are biggest elements for long term variety. Even as a separate non-film timeline this game is perfectly positioned to continue brand activity until the next shows and movies are out.,

[jonogunn]

They are quite similar. Would be cool to get something completely different.

Prison map is horrible

More receding hairline options please.

[timeware]

I think they forgot the mini-pufts.

[jonogunn]

This video has some pretty good tactics on playing as a ghost. The part where he talks about how to quickly down the busters is exactly what a player did to my team and I and we had zero chance

[timeware]

Some players are just that damn good as a ghost. My last match we caught the ghost a few times, got the rifts and they hid really well at the end. Ghost popped out in front of box at the last minute just to tease us.

[Kingpin]

and the traps really need to auto activate or be able to toss while firing.

I get the frustration... But I imagine Illfonic made the choices that you need to specifically activate the Trap, and not being able to throw it while firing, in order to make the circumstances seem more realistic to how they'd play out in real life... Which is probably why there's no HUD map, or ability to see where the other players are located if they're not in your field of vision.

Notable bugs so far:

•I somehow got to play as a ghost for several matches before I'd even umlocked Tobin's Spirit Guide.
•The game completely crashed on the match ending cutscene... I don't think I lost any progress though.

Critiques:
•I share the view that Rock Island Prison is probably the weakest map, a lot of dead space and not as much variety as the other maps.
•I wish it was more obvious when you're playing the ghost where the rifts are.
•I also wish the wall portals were maybe a bit more obvious, like maybe a subtle glow to the cracks before it opens up fully.

- Yes 5 maps.
-No. At lvl 30 you pass Act 5 and that's the end of it + you get something as a reward.

[zeta otaku]

So, just as an FYI, there's a known issue where the trap pedal upgrades are glitchy. If you stick with the extension cable or default, you're fine, but if you use the other two, when you join quick play, your trap will reset to full default.

[Spectregater]

On PS5 multiple times halfway through a match it will no longer let me fire. And so all I can do is scan, shock and throw the trap.

Can someone help me out with an overall fans score for this game in comparison to GBTVG?

I know absolutely nothing of this game.

If GBTVG was a 10.0 out of 10 (fanservice, enjoyment, etc) what does GBSU get in a fans opinion?

Anyone?

Figured someone would've jumped on this first. Bugs aside, it's a pretty solid game (also the devs are on top of the bug list and have already pushed out 2 patches). In my opinion, it's a solid 8. It doesn't have the story of GBTVG, but there's a LOT of heart in this. The narrative is there, but that's a bit lacking. The game play is MUCH more solid than the 2009 game's multiplayer. The proximity chat is great as well. Hudson and Aykroyd sound fantastic in their roles and the new comers are solid. The player VA list is filled with A list voice actors as well. The gameplay is fun from both sides of the particle thrower. I'm not sure how much fan service-y you can get than creating yourself in game and having your gametag show up on the flightsuit (wish you could change that, but for now it'll do). While the map selection is limited, they're large enough that you won't be playing it the same each time due to the ghost being controlled by a player and the type won't always be the same. Also, each map has lore to collect and discover. A couple are rather dark.

[timeware]

Once you get to lv 30 that's it for story mode?

More interaction with the new characters would be nice.

Some missions at Nameless' request, finding blue prints for new equipment, maybe a tutorial mission with Catt exploring the bot mode. How about a mission with Winston or him giving advice over the radio? (As long as it doesn't get repetitive.)

It would be nice to see those expanded on. Story mode could have been more involved I thought. It was good as far as Ghostbusters goes.

[jonogunn]

BTW in reference to wanting the trap to activate if you unlock the Skid attachment to the trap it does exactly that. No need to step on the pedal

Anyone have issues when clicking link to Epic?

[timeware]

Yeah it acts like it's linking but doesn't do anything.

[zeta otaku]

It's a known issue. To resolve the Epic issue: go to your account, unlink your PSN/Xbox account from it. Start Ghostbusters. Go to link account. It'll give you a link (epicgames.com/activate) and a code. Enter the code and it'll link the game and your console to Epic.

Sure, but you have to remember this is a "budget" game. They've already mentioned things are in the works so it's possible there IS more story to be had once they release it.

[jonogunn]

Thank you!

So is there no way for us to add each other on our epic accounts besides running into each other in a game?

[zeta otaku]

Huh? no, you add each other as friends on Epic, then at Janine's desk where it says Invite Friends, there's a tab for "other platforms". That's where you'll find them. (if you add them while the game is open, you'll need to quit and relaunch the game)
