Is it still shit?
Havent played since release and heard they tried doing loot boxes. Is it still a soulless version of KF1 or have they actually improved it in the last 2 years
It's better than KF1 now.

They added all the perks, there's new zeds and zed behaviors, two bosses (3rd on the way), more maps, versus mode, etc. Plus they're doing the seasonal events again, and the entire game has much better production value.
Yea there's loot drops and crates, but it's only cosmetic items.
The only reason to play KF1 at this point is if you're the type that hates change of any kind.
>>382745961
it was only bad at the beginning, like almost every other tripwire game. their games are usually an overall drop in quality that takes awhile to reach it full potential. that said they actually have a decent amount of content out for KF2 now, but if you're really on the fence just wait awhile longer.
>>382745961
It's in a pretty decent state now. It's more fast paced than the first so that will be a bad or good thing for you. A lot of the charm that came from the voice acting is still gone as well.
It fun though, worth trying it while it's on sale.
>>382745961
KF2 is better mechanically but the atmosphere is still not as good as KF1
How does a video game recover from a shitty beginning that has no more hype?
try it for yourself you spineless shit
>>382748615
The same way KF1 did it. Sales, events, free content, free weekends, etc.
>>382745961
free on ps4 last month, it's good for a free game, wouldn't pay for it though
might be better with mods but none of my friends have it on pc
the weekly challenges are pretty cool
they have bobblehead mode on now
>>382745961
nobody cares
>>382748615
hype is something only underage and retards buy in to. it only leads to disappointment. the best games are ones you look into on your own and have no other preconceived notions about other than the gameplay trailers you watch.
this is of course assuming you watch something that actually reflects the end gameplay, but still.
>>382749739
You post that like you expect me to give a shit and drop the game because of it.
>>382748615
I believe KF2's early access was a huge mistake for this reason.
These days people move on pretty quickly if a game doesn't hold their interest. While this would be fine for a single player game with no microtransactions, this isn't the case with KF2. They would have had much more financial success as well as a bigger community (who would spend money in the shop) had they released the game when it was actually finished.
>>382748681
I don't think this applies anymore. Killing Floor was a novel concept at the time, now I'm just another person who looks at KF2 and thinks "been there, done that". I wouldn't expect KF2's community to grow at all.
>>382748832
Beat the Bobblehead one just now, easy stuff with the cheaper ammo.
>Precious Horzine Helm is the reward
Now this one is a bit out of the blue compared to the last few weeklies. Sadly KF2 cosmetics in general don't have a lot of body options to compliment them. Is there a matching armor that's a weekly as well?
>>382750518
I also got the game from PS+ and I've got to say I was incredibly underwhelmed because you're right, there are just so many wave based shooters out there. If I wanted to play a game where my friends and I can shoot dudes for hours on end I don't even need to pay $15 for it.
>>382748615
FFXIV apparently did it.
>>382749739
The entire dev team is SJWs who can't take any criticism without crying.
>>382745961
Played the EA, and hated it. Bought it during the sale and have been enjoying it. It's basically a slight sci-fi version of KF1 with more satisfying combat. The cosmetic shit is pretty obnoxious though. Overall it's a good game now. Still missing some old characters though.
>>382752264
>look through all the cosmetics
>somehow the much more common ski masks are more fashionable
>>382752264
>>382752521
here's mine
I don't know what they were thinking with skins. There's no reason for them to have different quality skins for weapons, the playerbase needs to be an order of magnitude bigger for that kind of dumb shit. It's been well over a year since they added microtransactions and I've still got a bad taste in my mouth.
I'm hoping they don't go overboard with out of place steampunk garbage in their game this time. I don't know what the obsession is with developers in recent years, but it's out of hand.
>>382753220
There's plenty of out-of-place cosmetics that don't really suit the characters, though thankfully I think they already got over their Steampunk phase and only ever did some gas masks for that. At the very least skins don't clog up the weapon list with duplicates and encourage some more core-looking stuff to exist, but what the fuck were they thinking with Medic weapons I would like to know because they're ugly toy guns, even skinners find them a pain in the dick apparently.
>>382751071
It was leaked a week or two back that there would be precious mark 7 armor to go with the helmet that's this week's reward. The armor will probably be next week's reward.
>>382754632
So we're probably going to see a lot of people wearing the full set, then.
>>382750265I feel you completely but I still get hyped for new releases of my old favorite series
>>382753220
eh
i could never get worked up about it because it doesn't effect gameplay. Although it's definitely a kind of "bad taste in the mouth" sort of thing, it really baffled me quite -how- angry people got about it
Agree with the steampunk. I really hated how the only bolt action rifle in 1 was covered in bronze spraypaint and made a dumb steam noise. It's like if the only Double Barrelled shotgun in the game was clown themed and made silly noises and shot confetti. I just want a classic DBS.
>>382755053
Yeah. Though, honestly, I think I'd rather see people wear the gold set than some of the retarded cosmetic combinations I usually see.
>>382751939
>>382749739
>/po/acks actually get triggered by this
You faggots ought to crawl back reddit, he was saying that there's no reason to add any other sexualized character other than the stalker since it won't fit in with the game's style
>>382745961
It's free on PS4 but I couldn't find a single game on sunday morning. Deleted that shit right away.
>>382755407
and then they added rae higgins
>>382755646
>Higgins
>Provocative
You gotta find better b8 than that
>>382755646
Rae is fucking terrible and inexcusable.
But KF2 is quite good, its in the best states its been for a long time.
>>382755407
>picking on /po/
>>382747107
Or if you got an ancient PC like mine

If prior experience in F2P games is anything to go by, I'm going to assume people who spend a fair bit on cosmetics would probably stick with what they have or incorporate one of the items into their sets while it's trendy, and those who spend little to nothing would likely commit to the entire set even if it's just because it's not the default.Thankfully the black ski mask is a common drop, it goes well with a variety of things.
>>382755508
>PS4
Considering the original game's popularity on Steam, the console port backfiring on Tripwire does not sound surprising.
>>382755646
>>382755761
Have either of you spoken to an Australian woman before? because literally all of them look, sound and act exactly like Rae Higgins.
She's aggresively normal.
>>382748615
It gets on average around 4k players so I think it's doing fine. Besides they're getting a lot of money from crate whales
>>382756168
They really don't unless you live in some shit hole bogan area and even that feels like it's stretching it somewhat

>>382756102
The game is actually quite popular on PS4 and I've never had trouble finding games.
>>382756492
Well, alright then. Is it largely because it was free on PSN?
>>382747107
>better production value
What are you trying to say?
>>382756603
Never had trouble finding when I bought it normally, now there's even less trouble, the real issue is the caliber of player on higher difficulties and nobody wanting to zerk or medic, and since I'm a faggot and like to win I usually go medic or zerk and generally have to carry.
>>382756624
he means it has better graphics and UI
Will I be able to sell my Summer Sideshow items once the event is over?
>>382756087
I might actually give it a try.
>>382756986
I'm curious about this as well. Hope it happens for the paints as well
>>382756793
Suicidal on Medic is amazing fun.
>buying the medic assault rifle as quick as possible
>just sitting up the back, occasionally spewing medic syringes, no need to even fight because healing pulls enough weight
>speed and damage boost at perk 15, just turning everyone into absolute killers because alpha crawler gas is constantly doing tiny amounts of damage allowing you to buff people with syringes
Then you get 20 and the damage resistance buff comes into play, and nobody is fucking dying on your watch.
