How you enjoying the KF3 stress test
I'm actually having fun but I've only played as shotgun guy

>>715619480 (OP)
i played like 20 minutes on sunday and it was okay
there's a bit to like amidst the lots to hate

>>715619480 (OP)
It wasn't too bad if you used your flashlight, muted all voices, and hit tab instead of trying to navigate the shitty lounge base.

I have no idea what the fuck they were thinking with missions though
>can be completed solo or mp
>separate for each player
>direct incentive to run away from their team and jerk off on an objective marker

Solo mode's probably online only too

>>715621452
I've only played for an hour and I basically just ignored anything that wasn't gameplay
Had no idea about the missions but if it's just cosmetic shit like kf2 then I don't care, I only use default skins anyways

Instead of facing a full blown financial disaster they should remove the zeds and replace them with big titties monsters. At this point nothing else will salvage it.
Pay me for my ideas, my address bigtittiemonsterfucker@hotmail.com

>>715621798
true!

Played 3 games, had zero fun, uninstalled

>>715619480 (OP)
fuck off yoshillo

>>715619480 (OP)
Graphics really look like shit for the performance they deliver
I don't like all that zooming around gameplay
Perks tied to characters is still fucking retarded
I fucking HATE the shotgun spread without ADS, it's fucking retarded, its cone of fire is like 2-3 times as wide, fucking WHY, it feels like SHIT
Yes I am angry
ANGRY ABOUT SHOTGUNS

>>715619480 (OP)
A dose of pure concentrated anti-soul modernised dogshit made by devs with no talent to tick every box, take 0 risks, and be enjoyed by no one. The least memorable game I have ever played and I just finished playing it an hour ago

I'll stick to hopping on KF1 a few times a year

Guaranteed to go the way of Payday 3, Redfall, Back4Blood. It introduces every wrong with current videogames while also feeling cheaper and more poorly made than it's predecessors

>im having fun!
>im having a blast!
>im still enjoying it!

>>715619480 (OP)
There is another stress test?

>>715628118
It's today
and you actually can play for than like 15 mins unlike the last one

>>715619480 (OP)
The fuck do you mean enjoy
They just change the UI and made the gunplay less COD

I can barely make out what the fuck is going on, Didn't enjoy it after a couple of games.

Everyone who shared their impressions in this thread are getting sued

Better luck next time. Prepare your anus for prison fun.

how do you join a game without running across the gay hub world every time?

>Dead on the inside voice acting & marvel quip dialogue
Apologise to the KF2 trader and also Ana.

>>715629049
>We apologize
>No formal retraction
Jail.

>>715619480 (OP)
I'm only playing if they go back to the design philosophy of 1

>>715629049
>Nightfall Specialists
instant red flag, this is how you know the game is shit without even having to try it.

>>715629454
>rewriting code and patching a game for a stress test that lasts a day instead of just posting something
retard

The support/engineer's ultimate ability is growing two giant ears to shoot sound waves. It looks so fucking stupid.

>>715619480 (OP)
I installed it last night and got a message that the beta was over, uninstalled and found out it has strict hours for being up, wont be reinstalling

Do KF2 logic still apply? Are you not supposed to use a firebug on a Scrake/Fleshpound for example?

KF has been shit since KF2
dont @ me

>>715630187
people mostly only playing on normal and shit is dying too quick to even tell what's effective
gotta try harder difficulties for that if the game even makes it to that point

>>715619480 (OP)
>How you enjoying the KF3 stress test
Played 3 hours just now and had - dare I say - fun. Didn't experience the performance issues I had last beta, and I have a pretty budget computer. Movement feels a bit more sluggish this time around, guess they're trying to appeal to the KF1 fanatics, but it's alright. Slide isn't spammable anymore, which is a good thing. Only played as sharpshooter but those guns felt and sounded good.
>>715627487
>nooooooooo you can't just enjoy a heckin' videogame!!!!

I'm thankful for the stress test as I know now I will never have any interest in playing it ever again.

Killing floor was always a scifi game. I don't really get this atomsphere thing that's always brought up for KF1. I am enjoying the KF3 stress test. I'm gonna preorder some more copies for my friends.

>>715631867
its literally the same build as on sunday

all the guns are boring futurist garbage and the shotguns feel like shit
i hate tripwire so god damn much

>>715632280
>its literally the same build as on sunday
Was talking about the beta back in february or whatever.

>>715632242
>I don't really get this atomsphere thing that's always brought up for KF1
It's a classic old game good, new game bad.

>>715621798
Nigger you have 60 fucking porn threads in the catalog you have to ruin this one too?

>reddit hates it
>steam hates it
>/v/ hates it
damn shame

For my take, it wasn't BAD. But there was absolutely nothing to write home about either. It's just another generic zombie FPS.

And seeing what KF1 WAS, and what KF2 SHOULD HAVE BEEN, KF3 is just even more of a departure from it's core into just bland-zombie-shooter in a sea of bland-zombie-shooters.

Did I have fun? Eh, kind of.
Did I like what I saw/shot/bought? Not really. It was all pretty standard.
Did the levels make sense, and did they have any sort of logical flow to it? Absolutely not. This is where all this vaulting and shitty obstacle-hopping made it seem kind of trash imo. While KF1 and 2 both (but 2 less so) had fairly simple level design, that is what made it more fun and "grounded". Fighting Zeds in KF3 is more of an obstacle course made manifest than any of the older maps in both previous games, which made running and gunning pretty shit as you had to stop doing that, turn around to see what was blocking you, vault over it or up a wall, and then go back to trying to help your friends out, when you honestly should just be able to keep on moving once you get the layout in your head and not have to trip or vault up/over every last thing.

KF3 doesn't SUCK, it's just "meh" at best, and annoying at worst.

>>715632242
you're b8ing and the other reply is you replying to yourself

>>715632242
that DLC as well as other crap moneygrubbing DLCs with golden guns and robots and lasers and shit came out many years after killing floor 1 had peaked

>>715619480 (OP)
>enjoying
Mission impossible.

>>715619480 (OP)
what the fuck is wrong with matchmaking this time around? it's fucking awful compared to last beta

>>715633913
yeah i played one match and it was horrific. they're really stressing the test

Now that Shitwire has dropped the ball, any class based Horde Shooters that are 1) good 2) alive

Didn't tripwire used to make somewhat decent games? What the fuck happened?

>>715634203
The team that made KF1 (or at least most of them) went on to greener pastures, and of the few that stayed left after KF2.

KF3 is made by an entirely different team that has no fucking clue what they are doing, nor what made 1 such a success, and 2 somewhat appealing to play

>>715634135
darktide

Stop Killing Floors

>>715634417
runs like complete ass, i always uninstall it after a few hours

where's my welder

>>715634135
Tide games or Helldivers are all that's left

>>715634135
Darktide. Give the Remedy game like one year to get content and maybe give that look.

>love KF2
>have over 300 hours on it
>preordered KF3 as soon as I could
>could play KF2 for 5-6 hours without ever getting bored
>play 2 games of KF3
>feel bored like I’ve already seen everything
Feels bad man. KF2 is probably my favorite coop game of all time. For it to get a sequel that feels like such a step back. It’s just the worst fucking feeling.

>no dirge
Welp, back to Killing Floor 1 then.

>>715621798
The leaked Stalker redesign is your answer my friend

>>715634336
KF2 was a lot more successful than KF1, and I would argue an improvement in most areas.

>>715619480 (OP)
fake guns are ass, bring back real guns

>>715632242
>thinks post gold edition content represents KF1

>>715635818
>that's not REAL KF1
Lmfao, lol

>>715635769
Mainly gun and zed animations. The aesthetics was a downgrade. Gameplay and pacing is both good but for different reasons. KF2 is great for headshot adhd zooming. KF1 is great for wading against a horde.

>>715634336
>nor what made 1 such a success
KF1 wasn’t a success.

welp

>>715634135
DRG I guess
have a bad feeling about Rogue Core

Hot take: Killing Floor was always shit but the good kind of shit. The kind of shit that always gets you to come back playing despite the flaws in the game itself. Think of Evil Dead 1 for example. Campy ass film that has little to no budget, but great premise and execution, that's Killing Floor 1.

So did they actually try to redeem this trash game in any way with the delay by changing some of the most egregious shit? Or did they just do it in hopes that people would forget how much it sucked a few months down the line.

>>715636683
So by that logic KF2 is an objective upgrade and the pinnacle of the genre?

>>715636910
Killing Floor 2 is Ash vs Evil Dead

>>715636910
An objective upgrade on visuals and graphical fidelity? Sure. It actually far surpassed KF1 in that regard.

But it lost so much of it's goofy appeal, it's nonchalance of its characters towards certain death, and so so soooo much of it's charm in the process.

Was KF2 bad? Not in this anons opinion. It just was a disappointing-yet-still-fun sequel.

KF3 is just sad.

>>715635378
>KF2
>the huge downgrade from KF1
you already had shit taste.

>>715634045
no i mean the fucking matchmaking either doesn't find anything or puts you in games that are in round 5 or even a wiped team. can't find a single fucking game on hard

>>715636427
I seriously hope you're just pretending to be retarded.

I thought they delayed it indefinitely, did the shareholder start getting pissy?

>>715634135
HARD MODE: must have a dedicated medic class

>>715638147
I'm a KF3 optimist but holy hell do I hate matchmaking. Catering to console fags ruining the game.

>>715621798
based!?
Total Tripwire DEATH

They should have just remastered killing floor 1. I don't know why the hell did they decided on making a futuristic slop shooter. I would rather play Exo Zombies than this shit.

>game goes immediately to results screen after winning so you can't throw dosh
okay never mind everything else what the fuck is this horseshit

>>715637721
Shitters like you sunk the franchise, retard with no appreciation for the authenticity of the first game. You're the vocal minority that lead devs astray by making horrendous suggestion that don't respect the original concept. Now please enjoy the pile of shit that you've got and don't cry when the following games will be more degenerate garbage with microtransactions and tranny pronouns.

>battle pass vending machine
haha i'm out

>>715639885
>You're the vocal minority
No that'd be you. I'd post a steamcharts pic but I'm phonefagging and cba.

How long did it take to get accepted after requesting access for the test? I didn't know about it :(

>>715640120
>phonefag
>chart tard
>BIG NUMBER MEANS I WIN!
This franchise is dead but please keep consooming slop like a good nigger cattle.

>>715640378
Cope all you want but more people play kf2 and it made tripwire more money than the first game. So why should they listen to you, some old game good new game bad fag?

>>715640259
like 2 minutes

>>715641454
Ah, I guess it's joever then. It's not being accepted for me and I have hundreds of hours in KF1 and KF2.

>>715641674
your hours in previous games don't matter. just win the rng lotto

>>715641674
I applied for last one and missed it, this time got accepted as soon as it was announced, prolly be another. Any don't worry it sucks balls

I got accepted but I still don't wanna play this shit kek

>>715641674
Nvm we did it reddit

>>715642625
aaaaaaaand it sucks

>>715644829
We told you anon, we fucking told you. Lol

>>715619480 (OP)
the stress test made my ten players deep discord reinstall KF1 after all getting angry at it

the monsters look like shit it's crazy how hard they downgraded everything

KF3 is completely and utterly barren of personality. Like a blackhole sucked any shred of soul out, from the painfully boring characters, the pitiful weapon design, goofy zeds and the lifeless atmospherics. Truly repulsive.

>>715646849
This. There's zero grit in this one, zero distinction from Black Ops 6 Zombies. This game literally looks like a Killing Floor 2 mod for Doom Eternal. And that's the reason why everything feels so stiff, the devs took inspiration from fucking Doom.

As someone who loves KF1 and KF2, what does KF3 do for the player(Gameplay,fun,feel,etc)?

>>715647464
>what does kf3 do for the player
Gives you nausea, delirium and suicidal thoughts

I loved KF2

didn't this game already come out?

>>715648160
It was pushed back due to negative reviews (they paid people to shill their game btw, didn't help obviously)

>>715647464
>>715647634
>how it feels to plya kf3

Is there any way to play the launch build of KF2?

>>715630187
Why would you not use firebug on big zeds, they specifically shit out the most damage to both.

>>715650161
Prolly just means flamethrower fucks. Fire enrages them, making it harder for anyone to get headshots and elinmate them quickly. Obviously you also had microwave and helios so you could be a good firebug or a fucknugget one

>>715650015
I tried doing it for KF2 but I kept getting a build from 2017. Idk try it yourself I'm retarded.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Steam/comments/611h5e/guide_how_to_download_older_versions_of_a_game_on/

>>715650161
Because fire makes the FP and Scrakes flail around, making it harder for Sharpshooter to get the killing blow. At least in KF1. In KF2 any perk can kill any zed.

>>715650015
>>715651598
google "noobient killing floor 2 classic"
theres a decent guide on how to setup the last pre-edar build

>>715647684
Honestly kf2 was a very solid game gameplay wise, and a lot of people hated it just for not being some slow jankfest like the first one

>>715653663
This honestly. KF2 would've been perfect if it had the first game's art design

>>715652204
>110GB required

>>715627487
I forgot how he worded it but someone combined the shill dialogue into something like "I'm gonna return to form and blast my fucking head off". It was funny.

Eh, it's better than the first iteration but still needs time in the oven. I'm just going to keep playing KF2 until then.

>>715632242
You don't have friends or the money.

>>715632664
Whats to ruin? this game sucks

How many bosses?

>>715654328
Okay Shillwire.

>>715654737
Two so far. Zynthetic is coming back so maybe we'll get The Patriarch in a later update like how they did for KF2.
He's supposed to be dead for good, but there's no way TW is that stupid to kill off the most iconic antagonist in the game, right?

You people make up all this shit to complain about when it's obvious to everyone what you're mad about: you're racist incel chuds and there are more women and minorities than white males.

>>715654737
>>715654909
I've seen three bosses so far.

>>715655251
Whos the 3rd again

>>715655209
R9k is three doors down, moron.

>>715655408
There's a crawling bug type who lays eggs, there's a big hulk looking one who leaps and shoots out spikes, and then there's one that has three gorilla looking bosses that are absolutely unkillable unbalanced niggersmashers. I've gotten the triple gorillas like four times and we've never brought them below 90% health on hard difficulty. That one definitely needs to be nerfed.

>>715655897
Doesn't the gorilla one shoot an unavoidable laser beam at you? I could be misremembering.

>>715653663
Initial response was more positive, I had tons of fun during early access. Half the hate came from "loot boxes before 1.0", then all the bullshit added in 2017 soured everyone else on Tripwire. By the time they went back on "no paid weapons" most everyone from the ea period already left, and the legacy was ruined

I'm having fun. I think it's better than KF1 so far, but that's just me.

>>715619480 (OP)
I just don't want to play as a black guy, it's just that simple...

>>715657035
He is the healslut anyways, probably not even straight

Yeah okay.

>>715621798
I dont appreciate you doxxing my buisness email.

>>715654317
LMAO I know exactly which post you're talking about. It was something like,
>“Tripwire is really listening. I’m returning to form. I’m returning to my wife. I’m returning to the shotgun in my mouth.”
Shit had me choking. It perfectly sums up the KF fan experience every time they drop a new trailer.

Four (4) weapons per class is a HUMILIATION RITUAL tier insult.

the overall mood of 3 just feels so weird

this kf2 song feels like it perfectly fits and captures what the game was going for but 3 feels like it lacks identity

>>715631867
>>nooooooooo you can't just enjoy a heckin' videogame!!!!
"I'm having fun" or "I'm having a blast" are useless statements, typically applied to shills because you can say this about ANYTHING,
>i'm eating poop, I'm having a blast
>raping children, having a blast
say what's actually good about the game

The whole appeal of KF was that you're essentially in the middle of an apocalypse and you're trying to make the best out of it. KF3 just throws that out of the window and said "erm yeah, so we have technological advancements in the year 2090 and everything is chrome"

>>715629836
You get ults in this one?
lmao I was already not buying but now I'm super not buying it

>>715661691
In defense of the devs, they've stated that they're removing ults in a later update.

>>715630187
Flamethrowering a Scrake was way less effective to me than just shooting him with the starter gun in the head.

>>715634135
Don't listen to the tasteless faggots saying Darktide, that game is STILL inferior in every single metric to Vermintide and it also runs just as ass as any modern generic UE5 game.

>caring about modern trigwire
not even if they paid me

no they didn't.
