Anyone playing this? Thoughts?
Nothing can make feel like I didn't waste my $30 and reinstall this piece of shit.
Nobody a asked for this. People want perks and maps.
devs wasting time on shit no one wants
especially on that stupid crafting bullshit ripped from tf2
>>333554438
It's pretty half-assed.
There's no good reason for levels/difficulty settings in a asymmetric game mode.
And in general, it's not fun playing clots or crawlers.
Fuck off Yoshiro.
>Not even out of early access
>still doing microtransactions
Anything more pathetic than this shit heap?
>instead of releasing Sharpshooter, release a half baked versus mode
yeah there's this thing called l4d2 and it plays ten times better. nice try though, tripwire
>>333554525
>Feels like they wasted money due to lack of content and features
>Doesn't come back for more content and features
>>333555605
L4D plays like shit.
But so does this.
No wonder updates take forever when Tripwire wastes their time with junk like this. It still blows my mind just how badly they fucked up KF2.
Rising Storm 2 will probably be a piece of shit as well. At least I know not to believe Tripwire's lies now.
>>333555672
>Bought Early Access and expected a full game.
Some people are retarded, though Tripwire did "launch" the game way way too early.
>>333555865
>Rising Storm 2 will probably be a piece of shit as well
I'd be surprised, given that it's being made by the same team behind RS1, which also unfucked the massive clusterfuck that RO2 was at launch and for at least two years after it.
>>333555185
You already played the versus? I've seen dev stream, crawler gas sudokku and clot commanding other clots looks fun.
On the one hand, I really want to play this game on console. On the other hand, I feel like I'd be making a mistake to purchase this game based on some comments in this thread.
>>333556972
Well when it finally released on console it would probably have all the perks, which is the main problem with the game right now, at least for me.
>>333554438
It's shit. My mates been looking forward to it for weeks and after 3 games of it he insisted we play kf1 instead.
Shit sux, isn't even fun.
>>333556972
Given how fucking horrendous the PC version's development is I wouldn't be surprised if the console versions either never comes out or manages to be amazing on the virtue of TW getting forced to unfuck the game due to the player's uproar.
who still /kf1/ here?
It's okay. Clots aren't the most fun to play but if shit like Scrakes were up on Round 1 it'd be nearly impossible for the humans, so it's understandable. Although it's nothing a balance fix couldn't fix. Adding a buy period Round 1 and some starting cash would allow Zeds to have specials from the get-go, or something. But being a clot that dies from one-shot pretty much 100% of the time is rather boring and not very fun.
That said, it's in no way a game-seller, and will largely be ignored.
>new content update
>nobody discussing it
>not even ripping into it
>just passes into the void
It's what it deserves
>weapon swap speed increased 60%
slow weapons switch was one of my main gripes with the game, now it's gone
>devs show up outta nowhere, and make a low budget, but fucking god tier game
>continue to support the game for a long time
>Finally make a sequel
>early access, full of micro transactions
>Game is dead on arrival, NO WAIT, i cant say that, its dead before it arrives. Its a fucking miscarriage.
Its literally Super Monday Night Combat all over again. Im glad i didnt buy into this shit. I wont be fooled again.
The dead sea would be embarrassed by the amount of salt i still have over SMNC.
They need to get their priorities straight, why does it take so long to release the remaining classes? The game has been in early access for almost a year and Tripwire is not a small inexperienced studio, I don't understand this. I expected a lot more from them and I'm glad I didn't let my KF boner win over my hatred for early access
>>333560892
>continue to support the game for a long time
Funfact: they stuck with KF1 for so long only because RO2's fucking horrendous launch almost killed them from a financial standpoint, while they made shittons of money off of KF1 DLC.
Is this why I had a fucking 8 gig update? God I regret buying this game.
>>333560892
tripwire didn't create killing floor any more than they created the community weapons.
they bought the rights to the mod, updated the meshes and textures, and created the husk. everything since then has been a cashgrab.
Killing Floor was originally a total conversion mod for the game Unreal Tournament 2004, first released in 2005.[7][8] The lead developer Alex Quick was first approached by Tripwire Interactive about porting Killing Floor to their game Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45, but Quick did not follow through. A few years later, when their user base started to dwindle, Quick contacted Tripwire again to negotiate the port to Red Orchestra, and its distribution via Steam—similar to what Tripwire had already done with another Red Orchestra mod Mare Nostrum—and then later, the retail game.[6] The mod version had its fifth and final official update in July 2008.
The full retail version was announced in March 2009. With the assistance of the original mod team, Tripwire would be the new developer.
In 2012, with the launch of the Linux Steam version, the original non-Steam servers were closed and the game was made a Steam exclusive.[9]
Killing Floor was released on 14 May 2009 after about three months of work by a crew of around ten developers.[10]
A late 2012 patch introduced support for the Steam Workshop; a distribution platform for user-made content functioning via the Steam client.[11] In mid-2013, a new mode called "Objective Mode" was added, where the player team would be tasked with completing specific objectives over the course the various waves in addition to outright survival.[12]

>>333561285
ah so Tripwire is to blame for this shit fest.
I knew i should have given up hope after seeing RO2.
>>333554438
ded
>>333561494
>I knew i should have given up hope after seeing RO2.
If anything you should've given up after they introduced the demo. Let this be a lesson. I'll probably still get RS2 though, unless they manage to fuck up that too.
Wow, what garbage!
I really like Killing Floor 2.
I agree about the VS mode being something no one asked for, but let's wait and see.
>>333555185
How's the steam workshop/level editor?
>wow one new map!
>wow 2 new OFFPERK weapons!
>shit nobody asked for
>a billion new cosmetics, give money pls
literally disgusting. kf1 is still the better game.
I'm sure Rising Storm Vietnam will be good
Based ShillWire
>>333554525
How does it feel, being an enabler?
What streamers do you subscribe to?
>>333562870
Inb4 Gibson personally handles the balance, as he's been doing with KF2.
Cool. might check it out later.
>le KF2 is a bad game maymay
ebin
>release this shit
>sharpshooter still not out
>>333556059
How did the RS team fix RO2?
Any info on Sharpshooter perk yet?
Is it simply just +% Damage this +% Damage that again?
>>333564062
As far as I know:
Unfucked the character models (everyone was a manlet, as in about 160cm tall)
Removed bugs
Made the class system meaningful by reducing the availability of special roles (at launch practically half of the kraut team would use MG34s and STGs).
Multiped the kill points you get for a kill by 4, which is a fucking godsend.
Introduced more maps.
Fixed a fair amount of bugs.
>>333554438
I'll wait until it leaves early access. So probably never.
>Sharpshooter still isn't done.
>Perks are just stat changes
Just add the fucking dumb extra % damage bullshit already. This shouldn't take a year to do.
>>333564658
But bruh, weapon models, they need like 2 months to model one weapon.
Some top tier 3D modeler they have.
>>333564350
RO2 definitely has gotten a heck of a lot better over time
>updates are taking longer
>are adding even less than before
and no, the shitty versus crap doesn't add jackshit
>>333554438
Aren't these faggota working on the PS4 version before the damn game's even done?
I honestly don't want to support their jewery if that's the case
>>333554438
The balancing is absolutely shit. Alpha zeds have too much HP in general, Siren has an ability that can hold a player in place and drain their health from afar, grab ability for clots is way too good because of the health boost and you can't stumble them with melee, the 4 round limit makes it harder to balance because it gives the player and zombies less time to grow and adapt to each others tactics, Stalker is kind of ridiculous with her heavy attack (has more range than light and is generally more useful) and dodge (incredible distance and speed, allows you to get behind a player every time they line a shot up at you), and Husks are incredibly OP when it comes to everything.
I still don't understand why they haven't fixed Hans, this asshole is ridiculously OP. His health requires a fucking aeon to deplete, and his grenade tossing intensifies in his final form, then fucking chases you. There's barely anytime to heal, reload or even shoot because he'll run up and rape your ass or toss Zyklon B in your face. For the last guy alive, it becomes a long game of ring-around-the-rosie, which he usually ends up losing.
>Everyone loved KF1 for the PvE
>"Hey let's focus on PvP"
>Hans on HoE
>Everything was going well
>On last regen he beeline for the medic, then instagib him
I still don't know how his aggro work.
>>333556000
>released game too early
>fairly bugless base game
Their main problem is that patches come in far too slow
>>333556972
For one, don't listen to /v/ for opinions on games. You either watch gameplay vieos or buy/pirate the game, then refund it if you dislike it.
/v/ has shit opinions, the game is good but needs to be finished and updated faster. If you don't want to buy an incomplete game, wait until release, but it's still smarter to buy the game when it goes on sale if you're going to inevitably by it on release anyway because there's no harm in it.
>>333561285
this anon knows whats up
>>333560892
>>333559280
>>333557770
Most of the Tripwire development team is working on Red Orchestra: Vietnam, probably why this game has continued to languish.
Red Orchestra is one of the few IP's they've actually created. Even then it was still a total conversion mod of UT'03
Its not very good.
Zeds REALLY need to coordinate or you will not win.
Zerkers are OP as fuck, the pulverizer in particular is to much in this mode, it one shots all the trash zeds and does AoE damage, a zerker/medic team can basically lock down the game.
The boss fight doesn't work well, especially in open maps and most pubs are to stupid to heal, you seem a lot slower than the computer controlled patty and most of the fast classes just get around you and hit you in the back with impunity.
No penalty for death for the human team, they don't lose money if they die.
It badly needs balance patches.
>>333568061
>Most of the Tripwire development team is working on Red Orchestra: Vietnam
I was under the impression that Rising Storm 2 is being worked on almost exclusively by the Rising Storm team, which isn't Tripwire.
>More PVP content
Why, that's like in every fucking game. Honestly I'd rather they make Killing Floor single player. It could be a better Doom Clone than Doom 4 itself at least it has the right amount of gun porn.
>>333568229
I believe the Rising Storm team is made up of Tripwire employees too. Its being co-opt anti-matter games. I would assume a good portion of the Rising Storm team is made up of and headed by Tripwire members
>>333568152
Forgot to mention its attracted some terribly shitty people as well, never seen so many AFKers before and people spamming kick vote among other things, also tea bagged after almost killing a team as the patty.
KF2 is now a real game, just needs to go into e-sports.
>>333568556
Rising Storm 1 was almost exclusively made by Antimatter.
>>333554438
sorry, i dont support sjwcuck developers.
I'm really not sure why they even bothered with this mode. What the fuck seems fun about playing a generic zombie, or something that walks slow while screaming? Tbh the fun from killing floor is crowd control, not being in the crowd.
>>333568961
Well, it seems like you're playing an alternative ZED. Like bloats can lay down mines it seems.
>>333570264
I just played a couple VS rounds.
The bloat can lay bloat mines
The siren has some strange pull-and-immobilize attack
The other zeds have the same attacks as their PVE counterparts.
Player-controlled Zeds are "tankier" than regular zeds; a player gorefast was able to draw all the fire.
I think it was fun.
>>333554438
>no free weekend for this update
If that doesn't tell you how useless this addon is then the very low playtime and popularity for this mode should.
Literally all that's asked for from KF2 was more classes, more maps, and better grafics.
They did the grafics part very well. The game is beautiful I'll give them that.
What NOBODY asked for however was a fucking stupid hat system like TF2 crates. Literally NOBODY actually likes that system. NOBODY. I think the most disgusting part was that they actually bothered shoehorning in that dumbass microtransaction system into the game before the new promises classes even. Fuck Tripwire.still looking forward to red orchestra vietnam tho
>>333571587
A pull and wipe from a coordinated team is amazing.
Most of the time you get a fleshpound and scrake that just rush into the enemy and die.
My favorite was the patriarch player that just stood still while spamming his attacks.
>>333572085
By the time the game is actually released it won't be graphically impressive either. A year later and it already looks like shit.
>>333572421
It didn't look impressive even at launch, it's a matter of shit art direction. Everything is too clean.
>>333559280
That's what happens when you make a game early access. People buy it, get bored with the lack of content at launch, and then never touch the game again even if a ton got added because their interest was lost ages ago.
This thread is full of fucking babies. If you don't like an idea of an Early Access games, don't fucking buy it then till it's finished. I bought it day one, and come back from time to time to play. It's a great game, already better than original KF was, and it sure as hell worth mere $30 they're asking. Any other studio would have slapped $60 price tag on it.
>>333572986
>already better than original KF was
Fuck off, Yoshiro.
>>333572986
>If you don't like an idea of an Early Access games, don't fucking buy it then till it's finished.
KF2 will never get out of Early Access.
>>333572986
>>333572986
>This thread is full of fucking babies
Takes one to know one.
>still no sharpshooter even after an update
>>333555185
They said it has only 1 difficulty
>>333554438
>We got a meme mode and half of the SS weapons after 4 months of nothing
JUST
>>333573121
Original KF as is KF w/o DLCs. First release.
>KF2 has more content than KF1 did at launch ;)
I hate this meme. KF1 had almost no content on launch. That's not an impressive metric.
>>333573719
Then why do people keep comparing original KF with all the updates to an unfinished game?
My main issue with KF2 is that the map design sucks ass, the class balance is whack, they removed a bunch of viable strats from KF1 and the pacing of the game just feels off.
I don't know what it's like at the moment, but the last time I played, it was basically just 1 or 2 medics and berserkers since why would you wanna play anything else? They can run faster, take more damage and deal more damage than any other class. It just turned into a fuckfest with 6 players running around at sanic speeds and never dying, bashing things with claymores. Welding is totally fucked (making the already weak Support even shitter) and the teleporting zeds is just lazy design.
>>333573830
Because why the hell would you buy a sequel with way less content? Doesn't matter if it had less content at lunch the fact is it has more content now and until Killing Floor 2 manages to beat it it's not going to look as attractive.
>>333573872
this is my biggest gripe with the game. the devs seem to have their heads shoved completely up their asses when it comes to game balance. The newest update nerfed DEMO for gods sake. why the fuck nerf the weakest class?
I bought KF2 off a key site for $20, never even installed it and still feel bad about buying it to this day.
>>333556000
Totally ridiculous people expect the devs to keep a schedule and not lie
I mean it's 2016
>>333574052
oh man the demo was the biggest disappointment ever. all his weapons are just total shit - what were they fucking thinking?
I find it funny that Hans is still so busted that they refuse to put him in a players hands.
>>333574052
Tripwire has never been good at balancing.
Their nerf to the m99 in KF1 was making each bullet cost 500 dosh making it impossible to buy, they nerfed the scythe weapon into worthless garbage as well.
Meanwhile the zerker could still solo the entire game in a 6 man HoE just fine, the fact that PvP has such ,major issues doesn't surprise me and it worries me honestly, Trip is shit at nerfing and buffing now they have 2 game modes to worry about.
what the fuck is a dosh bling honestly
>>333574632
Gold colored dosh icons littered around the map you need to find for an achievement.
>people like KF1 farm because it's a fucking huge ass map with expansive fields and heaps of little houses everywhere
>KF2 farm is one of the smallest maps in the game
when are Tripwire going to make a map that doesn't suck
>>333565319
Sadly, this game is one of the reasons why I bought at PS4 and it's been a year since they announced it.
>>333574761
So like the snow globes from thrillschills? Did anyone want those back? I'm convinced at this point that KF1 happened by accident.
>>333575030
no but tripwire would rather work on pointless things no one cares about as opposed to things like new maps and perks
>>333574821
>People hated Catacombs cause it gets dark as fuck
>Prison as dark as fuck right off the bat
Well at least we can go outside.
>>333574937
PS4 version isn't happening till PC version is done as said by them, at this rate you won't see this year I imagine.
Wanna know the funny part? If it was on the Xbone you'd probably have it already through their preview program.
>tfw still recall getting KF1 at launch on steam
>all the fun that was had grinding and leveling up
>all the fun the custom content included like adding custom perks and levels up to 50+
>KF2 is just a steaming pile of shit in every way
>Was excited for it since the announcement
>Played in every free weekend they held and the game got worse everytime
>all the bros I had that quit KF1 for KF2 ended up just quitting both games because Tripwire fucked up so hard
>>333575158
>>People hated Catacombs cause it gets dark as fuck
>>Prison as dark as fuck right off the bat
This game has to be played with the brightness slider up to max for some maps not to drive you crazy. Catacombs gets pitch fucking black though even with max brightness you'll be struggling to see anything.
I like how all these once "based" devs have become complete jew faggots.
Video games are fucking awful now.
>>333563012
Enabling what? He'd be enabling horrible practices by continuing to play the game.
Just finished playing a couple of versus games, its a joke. I whipped out the boom stick as a lvl 25 zerker and just one shotted every player zed in my path. It didn't matter how hard they evaded or jumped around all I had to do was swing either at him or an enemy near him and he's gone.
So unbalanced. And this is what they've been working on this entire time, instead of giving us the perks we have been waiting for they give us this shitty excuse for a versus survival game. And to top it all off they add in a crafting system because that's just what this unfinished piece of shit needed right?
Fuck shitwire.
