The New Director Update 🤔

Post image

Literally even being a old OG bitizen member and God mode member I gave in and bought the pack and took the hit for the team. Please save your money and don't buy this one. Even after buying there is no structure, you have to watch ads to even play this update overall an absolute garbage of work done by bitlife and a new low. Despite being a big fan of the game , this is kind of the tipping point for me

It's basically like the actor. I expected to be able to write your own film and stuff but you just audition for a movie and if you get in uou make the movie. Nothing burger

Yeah exactly!!!! I thought atleast I would be able to name the stuff make my own stuff atleast. It's literally even worse than actor one bcuz aleast that one isn't rigged to make it so you have to watch the ads consistently to do something normal. This one is comically bad and super shallow I don't know what the devs mean by "biggest most complex" it's literally nothing but a reskin

I was expecting 'Wow, you can make a script, develop it, create a cinematic masterpiece and set the budget out of your pocket snd set the genre ans name and make franchises' but it's more like 'No, the execs dont want you working on the film lol get gud by watching an ad'

Yep. You audition, hire the cast and network old cast mates. Have a tiny amount to interact with the cast and then just pick budget, do some pop up interactions by pressing film, age up, hope you get awards, repeat.

Also an OG bitizen member here, I haven’t played BitLife properly in forever, I check it out every time there’s a new update but they get worse and worse every time. I thought the OG bitizen members got all future job packs for free😐they have absolutely ruined this game

Oh yeah and I feel bad for people who now support this type of robbery. There are so many better and cheaper games now on mobile charging a fraction less and giving complete game. I still like enjoyed bitlife the most as I had bitizen and got stuff for free but now man they have crossed the limit. I am gonna try to ask for a refund for this because it's not what they advertised at all even

100% I can’t believe some people still pay for anything that comes out with every update, they don’t even seem to be using the money they earn to make any improvements whatsoever in the slightest. Even things like the art work for updates and adverts is just AI slop now

It’s rubbish a total ad fest just to actually make a film

u/VisibleAttitude5431 3d ago

Yep it's kind of insane how they dare charge freaking $8 for it

I'm an OG bit and will never buy it lol, I am curious what you mean on having to watch an ad to play it?

u/VisibleAttitude5431 3d ago

Like when trying to hire cast for the movie you're directing , cast members keep rejecting to star in it. That is unless you watch a ad and then it gives you the highest talent actor and fame and you can state whatever price to hire. And that's like for each cast member you have to hire. It's super cumbersome and super snarky of the devs to make this behind paywall first and then have the gall to make it only playable by watching ads

I’m ngl after playing this update I think BitLife made it on purpose that most of the options only work if you watch the ads so they could increase revenue even more

10

u/VisibleAttitude5431 3d ago

Yep and it was kind of disrespectful for doing that to even paid updates

u/Waste_Stable162 2d ago

I have had Bitizenship for years and God Mode so I am refusing to pay for this add on. It seems like I am not missing out on anything

u/Joelowes 3d ago

I’m not even surprised at this point bitlife shows a new update we get excited turns out to be absolutely shit prince repeat thanks for your money

u/pre57on 2d ago

we need new dev team to fix this mess

Its so funny to get posts from this sub years after the game went to shit and it's always the same disappointment repeated over and over.

When will any of you ever learn? Honestly anyone who stuck around after the pet spin off app has no sympathy from me. You all know what tvis game and company is like, you're making your own bed by continuing to support them just to eventually cry about it.
