I'M FLOORING IT

>>714648012 (OP)
What happened to this game? Last I heard it got delayed something about classes?

>UE5 microtransaction movement shooter slop
At least kf1 still works

>>714648141
>game had some hype
>open beta was ass
>all hope was lost
>studio delayed it
it's over

It just looks like such bland UE5 slop.. It really doesn't feel like a next gen game at all. It's 2025 PC gaming for fuks sake.. the map should be an entire cities, the ZEDS should be in the hundreds, and you should be able to demolish entire buildings. Instead we got a mobile game with some of the shittiest woke ass looking character models I've ever seen. This game was 100% outsourced to India.

>entire cities
>hundreds of zeds
No. It shouldnt be Musou Killing Floor Warriors.
The tight maps are what makes it fun

does this shit still have a server browser? last i heard, they even removed that. fucking grim.

>>game had some hype
From who?

[speaks japanese]

>>714648248
is there really people who unironically prefer kf1 over kf2?

>>714648012 (OP)
I don't know why but the zombie in the screenshot isn't scary.

>>714648759
>the map should be an entire cities, the ZEDS should be in the hundreds, and you should be able to demolish entire buildings
When I want to play EDF I play EDF, I don't want Killing Floor to imitate a game it has nothing in common with

>>714649713
mouth open is never scary

>>714649570
Only people who played kf1

>>714648012 (OP)
why is the zombie soijaking

>>714648915
>Musou Killing Floor Warriors
would play the shit out of that, providing it wasnt made by tripwire

>>714649570
KFMod >>>>>> kf2

>>714649570
Yes. It's the better game.

>>714648262
>>game had some hype
after 2 I just don't care

>>714648012 (OP)
>watch KF2 go from literally unplayable to decently playable to literally unplayable again
>give up on KF entirely
>now I get to watch KF3 go down in flames
they fucked this franchise so hard with 2, all they had to do was give me Harold Lott again and instead they did everything else (poorly)

>>714648012 (OP)
no one else is

>>714650534
Havent played in a while
How did they refuck it?

>>714651358
nta, but from my opinion its the addition of pay to win DLC guns, something that they explicitly said that they would never add. Along with that, the class identity is largely lost as its become more of a horde shooter than a team based zombie shooter... and also the whole shift from the gritty, industrial tech zombie motif, to a weird, sterile, neon-medical type of zombie motif... and all new enemies are fucking robots. Basically they would have benefited from doing less and instead shaped KF into some weird.... pseudo-resemblance KF game.

>kf1 super fun gameplay and atmosphere
>kf2 super fun and satisfying gunplay and weapons to play with
>kf3(so far) has nothing that the first two games had.

I heard they are delaying the game's release to fix things, but I am not holding my breath. Going all out in the future tech for 3 was a bad move. They could've scrapped 2's future premise and gone back to special forces fighting gritty monsters with and updated engine and it would've been decent.

>>714648012 (OP)
After the beta, I have less than zero interest. It's Payday 3 all over again.

>>714648012 (OP)
What's wrong with the original? Do people really want a 3rd game with modern day graphics?

>>714649570
Yes, me.

I prefer KF1 over KF2, because in KF1 it was more fun to be huddled up somewhere with your team together and coordinating reloads and shit, before someone eventually fucks up and we all start running trying to barely survive by getting rid of the red. KF2 is fucking boring because everyone is running around alone juking enemies and shit, with enemies spawning right around the corner if you stop looking there for a second. The gunplay also feels like total ass in KF2, including the UI/UX.

>>714648262
it's out in like 3 weeks and you can request access to a server stress test beta which will probably be this upcoming week

Even with the delays, there is no salvaging this shit.

>>714649570
I tried KF2 twice, during the beta and few years later on a free weekend. Bounced right off both times, it just feels like ass and completely lacks the charm of the first game that got me hooked up.
I don't care if gunplay is better if the game has no appeal.

>>714649570
Yes.

>>714652190
I only ever played bezerker in kf2 so I guess I didnt notice
It isnt as good as kf1

These guys remind me of Hi-Rez. In that they completely tanked their reputation and put out slop that none of their fans liked in any way shape or form.

Trying again huh? They must really be nervous about it flopping.

>>714648012 (OP)
Man I absolutely loved KF2 untill they ruined it with shitty animations and EDAR bots

>>714649570
Yes. The guns and enemies look like plastic toys in 2.

>>714654771
It will
KF3 will fail harder than Payday 3 did

Forgot my pic. I hate this shit art direction. Looks like something Bethesda would cook up for starfield that runs on juice packs.

>>714649570
If you played KF1, you would too.

>>714649570
this is bait.

>>714648262
there wasn't any hype, TW just paid a bunch of streamers to play it and not even they could muster up the will to shill KF3 in the state it was in

>>714654904
This looks like a shitty Vanu weapon from Planetside.

Is KF2 still an MTX-riddled shitfest or is it semi-playable now?

>>714648012 (OP)
Even the Steam description is soulless

>>714654919
And look at all my (You)s

>>714654770
Difference is that KF1 and KF2 were both a successful and had their own direction, whereas Hi-Rez burns money on chasing trends and failed projects.

>>714655034
it's like 100gb now

>>714655034
Most of the MTX are just cosmetics, but there are actually unique weapons that are sold, and some are actually pretty cool and fun to use. Some are pure gimmicks and "but why?" additions.
The weapon unlock bundle goes on sale for cheapish sometimes but you'll still be paying more for the gun unlocks than the game itself.

The only good thing is that if another player in your server has them unlocked, you can buy and use them as well.

Can i just get KF1 with KF2's gore system and gunplay? Is that too much to ask?

>>714655121
>KF2
>successful

lol no, beginning of the end for tripwire.

>let's make a bad game on purpose
What is this phenomenon called and why is it so common in the past 5 years or so?

>>714648262
I had the slightest tinge of hope for it because the dev diary shit they had was extremely forthcoming showing really early prototype footage so surely if they are confident in letting it all hang out the full release will be good right? Then I played the beta and felt nothing.

>>714655314
For real, they could make a bank pandering to nostalgia and just remake KF1 with all the mechanical improvements KF2 brought, but they decided to copy nu-doom right when it's starting to fade.

>>714655501
All the senior devs moved on. Bean counters think 'resources' are equal and didn't hire experienced developers to replace them.

All the passion and experimentation was removed in favour of dragging tickets in Jira.

The hiring bar was lowered and salaries didn't keep up.

DEI 'game designers' started getting hired a bit into KF2's development.

And last but not least, Tripwire was always kind of shit, riding other people's coattails and getting heavily carried by a select few people who are no longer there.

>>714655670
And the more interesting perk system
Sitting there and grinding door welds just to level up sucks

>>714648012 (OP)
>tippy taps aggressively towards you

>>714648012 (OP)
This is the logical progression from KF2. The people who shill it over KF1 are responsible for this

>>714654553
the competency crisis on full display.

>>714649570
Same level of enjoyment for me. Both get old after a long while. You can like two things at once, picking one thing over another especially as a "OLD GOOD, NEW BAD" faggot just means you should kill yourself.

>>714655501
It's essentially lowering the equilibrium. Whether that is incidental or not is another.

>release bad game
>spend 1-2 years updating it
>it's maybe milquetoast at best, but everyone claps anyway

Rinse and repeat. No Man's Sky set an example, but also an exception seeing that game never actually stopped when it finally found some appeal.

>>714654553
Best thing they can do is scrap the Killing Floor name, slap on some story mode, and sell it co-op campaign left 4 dead style game. Call it Mr. & Mrs. Foster Save The World or something retarded

>>714648012 (OP)
I will not be buying
I loved KF, which led me to buy KF2, which I liked less

>>714649570
yeah, first one was better

last time I played the first one was 2014, and for kf2 it was 2021 but I don't even remember playing it at this point, 1 was much much memorable and fun for me.
