Killing Floor 2

she killed both of my floors... i will get my revenge...

este juego me hizo replantear la vida y dejar de ver a boca solo para jugar

Today's review has been sponsored by Playnite, an amazing app that is very (lightly) ruined by horrible keybinds and a plugin ecosystem that could use some work. Anyway, Killing Floor 2 is a pretty impressive Zombie shooter. It builds on the original Killing Floor, which while a little janky (in unfun ways) and sort of a black sheep among games from its time, it was an interesting and fun game, and while it was not the best product, it gave everybody something new to the Zombie genre. Especially at a time where Call of Duty was starting to put its foot in the door. For the effort that came out from such a game, it did pretty good for what it had. The graphics, while not anything crazy were pretty good, even on its lowest settings. The game ran on some crappy hardware, used a really solid engine (for the most part), and it made many improvements over the original. New engine meant less broken mouse movement and jank, and new gameplay potential. Of course, it was not the most perfectly integrated. Loading the game nowadays takes ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ages, and the fact that you don't get to interact with its window until it's 90% of the way there is stupid, tone deaf and something that literally every other game up to its point (except maybe a few) have gotten down just fine. So, we're already off to a great start. Looks great, boots like crap. It can't get any worse, can it? Well, it can. But first, I want to bring up something that Killing Floor 2 did really good at improving: guns. The gunplay, in KF2, is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ amazing. Guns feel less like stiff toys and more like actual guns, the models look solid, and for the most part, the animations are great! While there are some questionable decisions about how guns are handled, most of them are fine. Some animations are gorgeous, and feel amazing, even if it's just to inspect. That's about where the good thing about the guns end. The guns in this game are so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ horrible. They shoot fine, yeah, despite all the camera shake that induces nausea in some. But they are so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ inconsistent. Some guns, especially on the bottom end of the rack, are overpriced for packing like a peashooter and basically doing nothing towards stronger opponents. Even some higher ranged weapons are underwhelming, and feel much weaker to guns PRICED VERY SIMILAR TO THEM. Like, there are some guns I wouldn't buy on my dead grave, it is that bad. This is on top of Survival Mode giving you barely any cash in practice, forcing you to look at lit up buy buttons on nothing but these terrible guns, which might as well get you killed early game. It makes the boss every 5 waves a dreaded chore, rather than anything fun to look forward to. Oh, yeah, the modes. They are pretty underwhelming. The generic Survival mode is fine, but everything else kind of just sucks. Survival has poor balancing and pretty much has you barely scraping by enough cash to only buy ♥♥♥♥♥♥ guns on Normal, and weekly is difficulty locked, making it a nightmare for casuals to play. Who the hell wants to be curbstomped for wanting to play the Weekly Challenge? The Binding of Isaac is more forgiving than this. The bosses are a total basket case, too. Some bosses like Dr. Zed and the patriarch are quite fine, and can be brute forced. If you're extra nerdy, you'll pay attention and notice their weaknesses in the tips. But the Matriarch... Holy ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥, I hate that ♥♥♥♥♥ so much. It's like she's buffed twice as much as everybody else. You might as well rage quit when you get her. I've never in my life ever gotten close to killing her. Outside of bosses, modes and guns, the perks are okay. They're nothing insane, just little buffs that scale the longer you play with them. While they get the job done, none of them really felt like it was that "aha!" one trick pony I wanted. It's more like, this perk has nice health bonuses and this one increases my armour. It's one or the other. I don't like being forced to switch between them, but it's my preference for wanting to set it and forget it. I will also say the studio did pretty good enhancing the gameplay. The pods not shutting down within ten seconds of a zed approaching it is always a big plus over the original, and skipping the trader saves some of my time. The game does have some pretty ♥♥♥♥♥♥ monetization practices, and it's arguably the big reason why this game deserves some flak. But... Ehh, I don't care that much. I'm quite satisfied with my character in its current state, and I don't recall any guns having like, any game breaking skins that are worth pirating, unlike Counter-Strike. They are closer to additives, rather than anything worth shilling money over. It's just color swaps and new characters. Save your money. The only way it could get any worse is if they charge you for basic gameplay features. Which luckily hasn't happened *yet*. So far, sounds like a solid game. Clunky with annoying bosses and caveats with how it loads the game, but sounds awesome! Now I know some friends that got the game for free, we'll all hop on and just have fun together! Right? ...Oh my god, this was one of the worst dealbreakers I have ever, in my LIFE witnessed. The Epic Games support for steam players, was so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cancerous. I think it beats out my opinions of Ubisoft Uno and Far Cry New Dawn, like it is just terrible. It's like they made it horrible to get you to shill more money. You can't directly invite them to your party, because they separated the systems like Payday 2. Unlike payday 2, you cannot add them traditionally, you have to link your two accounts. So you go to link your account, click the link in-game... Nothing. It does ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ nothing. Searching it up just tells you to go to Epic's page to link it, but you already did years ago. I don't have time to relink over a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ implementation, so why not just make a server with a password instead? Except you ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ can't, because the game loads for a bit until kicking you out because you 'lost connect' to the Host. A.K.A. Yourself??? And sending an invite is a cherry on the top. You click invite, and... Aha, go ♥♥♥♥ yourself, you invited them through Steam! They don't own the game on Steam, you dense ♥♥♥♥! Just a reminder, this is a game you can BUY. Through EPIC for over twenty dollars, a horrible company with a launcher so terrible, I have pirated any game I got for free through. So to know they also ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up the crossplay was just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ insane, considering there are many games that did get it right. I guess they just want to chase the players out for their awful sequel? What a disappointment. Until this is addressed, I cannot recommend buying this. You will guarenteed have issues with Epic players, and it will be a total waste of time. You're lucky if you can refund it before you run out of time. Even Payday 2 did this better.
