what went wrong?

Unreal Engine 5

killing floor 2 was widely panned for being shit and ended up being botted for hats like tf2

why would anyone expect 3 to be any different

>no music bands probably all ai generated slop music

KF2 wasn't anywhere near as bad at launch and that's the only memory I have of it. Only played KF2/3 in beta/stress test super alpha beta

>killing floor
>the floor doesn't kill you
Why is this false advertising allowed

>>716398834 (OP)
it's a regression from killing floor 2 in every way except weapon upgrades (which i'll admit are a massive step up from the arbitrary "number go up" of kf2)
it's very clearly a 1.0 in name alone, think darktide at release.

How the next games looks better but rest are worse? Enemies are still sponges until they explode?

It's an upgrade from killing floor 2 in every way, but now people realize how truly shit killing floor 2 was.

>>716408894
same story here. the run of the mill scifi aesthetic ruined the whole appeal and yet they doubled down on it for kf3. lmao

KF1 is obviously heavily steeped in British culture and emerged out of shit like 28 Days Later, Dog Soldiers, Guy Ritchie etc. while the people who made KF2 just like KF and seemingly gradually got replaced by people who don't even like KF at all and would rather make every map, gun and character look like a walking microwave shooting gay lasers at flying robots.

there must be a colossal retard in charge of killing floor at tripwire. there is no other explanation. some disgusting, vile narcissist who wants to create his own vision of the game, and this revolting retard has been at it since kf2 at least.

this is just how all good entertainment dies. examples include the entire american comic book industry.

It's genuinely impressive how they can make the game look worse than it's predecessor while quadrupling the requirements to run it

>>716408894
>why are enemies harder to distinguish

You guys should be wearing glasses

>>716398834 (OP)
I played the stress test so I know the game is shit but I am so desperate for a game like this, might reinstall 2 and see if it scratches that itch

>>716411173
and tripwire should be making good games, your point?
I'm just not buy anything by tripwire anymore after they released that turd that was kf2

also make a martial arts class where you can switch between boxing, judo and kung fu
but all that would take actual effort

>>716398834 (OP)
>make the same game 3 times
Why? 2 was already pushing it.
Make something new.

>>716414871
but they didn't make the same game 3 times
they bought the killing floor mod
then they made "killing floor 2: all soul removed"
and then they made "killing floor 2, part deux: even less soul"
England would hold annual military parades in tribute to tripwire if they actually made killing floor 1 three times in a row

>>716399021
>releases KF3 in a very obviously unfinished form because they got absolutely ass raped by steam refunds the second KF2 came out of EA

>>716409720
removing hero shooter bullshit and the boring sci-fi aesthetic would go a long way, I don't know why the fuck they insist on it

>>716415035
All "muh soul" really means is janky and kinda shit, with some charm. I prefer good gameplay, which is why I never played kf1 again after 2 released.
Shove your niggerhouse aesthetic up your ass.

>>716415958
>I prefer good gameplay
so you prefer killing floor 1, which has objectively better gameplay than 2? no? why would you out yourself as a braindead retard then?

>>716415958
Following your train of thought, soulless implies a lack of charm, which is certainly true for 2/3.
KF1 was a more experimental, and thus more interesting game, because it had its own UNIQUE identity.
KF2 was way more streamlined and, more importantly, homogenized product.
Classes started to blend together, fun gameplay options were nerfed or streamlined for the sake of balance, gameplay suffered for these changes.
For example they kept welding but the game was obviously not made around it.
They kept sharpshooter but the game has no sightlines, maps are claustrophobic as hell and spawns cheat like crazy to close distance when you're not looking.
They kept crawler type enemies with special spawns but the game has no special spawns anymore, the alt-spawns are literally just everywhere at once.
They kept the clots but made them all ninjas from Naruto, on higher difficulties they do strange acrobatics as attack/running animations, further pushing the game towards spam, unlike the ammo conscious first game.
They made the enemies much faster but the player sprints like a snail, forcing ninja parrying to survive elite enemies.
They kept the rage mechanics for elite enemies but removed the meter for the Fleshpound, now it just always rages a few seconds in off-screen, removing all tension or tactical decision-making.
There's many more things like this.

KF2 is an experience you suffer through because of the gunplay, that's it.
I doubt 3 fixed much.

>>716416132
I don't consider standing still, shooting down a hallway and only moving the mouse slightly horizontally to be good gameplay, no. And welding isn't fun. And I prefer to buy a medic gun over using the syringe to heal others.

>>716416641
>soulless implies a lack of charm,
Not what I said, didn't read the rest.

>>716416751
which is why I refuted your claim that it's "kinda shit" in the rest of the post, by proving how shit KF2 is as an iteration
fuck you coward

As with all KF games, wait 3-6 years and buy it for -90% off. It's a game about killing waves of monsters, stop overhyping such simple shit. It was never going to be great because it can't be great

>>716411173
dude they made the crawlers fucking white

>>716408894
pretty much
I only enjoy KF1 but I've already played it to death and my friends also got bored. I just wanted more of it.

>>716417076
Not true.
Back during KF1's peak popularity, there was a legitimate discussion to be had about its rivalry with L4D, and both games could take their formulas in interesting directions.
A lack of follow-through does not delete the potential that was there at the start.
Even today, many shooters have gunplay that's worse than KF1, and the horde-shooter survival genre has basically not moved on from it.
There is no legendary second iteration, KF2 is a pale imitation with bad direction.
I guess WWZ is a solid game that builds on some of KF1s ideas.

Why did they cling on to the sci-fi aesthetic? Such a weird choice

>>716417076
blud's never heard of dynasty warriors

if its anything like KF2, thats the reason

Probably the most mid game I've played this year

>>716417764
KF2 was fun.

>>716408894

game is hideous and runs like shit
KF2 let's me have 1500 ragdolls
so fuck off and kill yourself you dumbass tripwire faggot

Killing Fart was never good

>>716416819
>refuted your claim
Nah senpai, I don't need to read more to know it's all bullshit.

Im baffled how shit this game is. It mustve been made by completely different people

Thanks for reminding me I need to start appearing offline so no one memes me into buying this. Just got to give it a week before they actually get frustrated instead of saying how awesome a game they played for three minutes is.

>>716420724
Can't say I'm baffled you're such a faggot

>>716417627
Because adding wacky skins won't rape the aesthetic as much that way and the people working on this are faggots who never watched splatter movies.

Thematically KF2 was a step down but mechanically it's great and set pretty high standards for animation quality and gunplay.
KF3 is a step down in BOTH aspects, with terrible designs/themes AND terrible gameplay feel. Sequels shouldn't be outclassed by previous games in their fidelity like this.

>>716421878
>Because adding wacky skins won't rape the aesthetic as much
Right, go ahead and defend the fucking chicken and santa, retard.

>>716398834 (OP)
that's what they get for firing their own founder for having the wrong opinion

>>716410195
kf2 had soul after 7 years of work, trust the plan. In 2032, kf3 will be great.

>>716419302
Spoken like someone who got stomped by a clot and rage-quit in 2009. KF1 had insane style and grit for its time-absolutely oozed atmosphere, and the gunplay slapped harder than it had any right to. Just because today's dev team is playing Mad Libs with design decisions doesn't mean the original lacked substance. At least back then, headshots felt good and Hans actually had presence. Keep seething.

>>716425713
Just say you got filtered by KF2 when you couldn't play first person tower defence anymore

>>716398873
The easy cope. I know for a fact that this piece of shit "game" wouldve flopped regardless, the franchise is doomed. Now lets all pray this will be the last one, just let it rest already, you already raped its corpse well enough.

This is going to be another BF situation where there is a wide open road to steal the spotlight since the poster child for the genre keeps shitting itself at the drawing board phase (let's remove classes lol) and nobody is smart enough to swoop in.

>>716398834 (OP)
Kino gameplay. It filtered a lot of retards already.

t. snoyboy zoomer lmaooooo

KF2 and 3 are simply too fast and complex for KF1 fags. They can't react in time and are completely lost in maps that are bigger than a shoebox.

Man steam forums are just as filled to the brim with desperate delulu doomers as this place.

>>716430739
I once beat KF2 HoE burning paris solo with one faked player for higher zed count and using just the lever action as a sharpshooter
