Yep and their advertising was terrible. I genuinely didn't know it was released until threads on /v/ like OP started popping up.

Another game that had terrible advertising was pic related, I genuinely didn't know it released until talk about shutting it down started popping up. Some people have even said "That game isn't even out yet" when I've told them it was shut down. And I actually wanted to check it out.

Thank god for Steam refunds coming out within like a couple of days of me buying this.

Though I guess it could be a fine game in the future it was just barren when I played it. Is it still in early access?

Sequel is still incomplete, missing some classes.
The original also has had a lot of updates to add more weapons.

However, I'd be willing to say KF2 has better gameplay mechanics, except the enemies teleporting when they're out of sight and too far away, but that was to solve an issue from KF1 (enemies getting stuck somewhere and players having to scour the map to find them, originally solved by just killing the enemy automatically if it was detected as stuck and out of sight for too long) and they made it less of an issue in recent updates by making the teleporting less janky.

I'd say the latter, I rarely hear of games that are more than a month old. Especially on /v/.

>>339713671
They're all totally different though.
Mobile games are 5-minutes, WoW is for people who put way too much dedication into mediocre games, and consoles are optimal for games that don't require precision or complex input but terrible for games that do.

Sorry, of course you need to add the 5 people who play shooters on consoles.

Those marvelous free spirits who don't give in to evil DRM software by playing the game on their designated officially licensed Gaming Consoleâ„¢ for officially licensed Consoleâ„¢ Games. Fight the powah

16-20 classes available, requires mixing and matching of first 4.

What really killed it is when they added "classes"

Initially there was only one gun that could do every job; it could snipe with massive recoil unless you were grounded, it could be an assault rifle and it could launch many types of grenades.

Then they had to CODify and make an SMG, a railgun, assault, etc.

The population just dropped off immediately.
