Killing Floor - Epic

I purchased it one of the other times it has been on sale. I mainly purchased it because i'm a big fan of L4D2, and i don't think that KF even remotely holds a candle to L4D.

Yeah I bought it yesterday for $6.95 off Steam and it's great.

I think it's a great game.. I keep coming back to it. Love the weapons/weapon feel and monster variety, and yeah there's definitely some good teamwork needed to survive.

Killing Floors gunplay is way better than Left 4 Dead, and the fact that buying new weapons is based on monmey gives the player an incentive to play other than simply to "survive". Left 4 Dead is boring. While both games use a spawn system, and while both games combat encounters are almost identicle each time, Left 4 Dead just rushes the player and it becomes highly repetitive when the horde rushes.

As mentioned Killing Floor also has better team work, imo. I love playing medic and trying to heal everyone, then whipping out a gun that sound powerful and blowing them apart in slow motion.

I honestly think most people eat Left 4 Dead up because it's a Valve game and nothing more.

Because Valve games are actually very good. You can say the same thing about Bungie, BioWare, or Epic Games. Elann2008

And Left 4 Dead was an extremely repetitive game with extremely limited gameplay. The first horde rush in the first 5 minutes of play will represent the rest of the entire game across multiple maps - hell across multiple GAMES because Left 4 Dead 2 was a clone of the first game. From a gameplay standpoint Left 4 Dead has no unique situations because of the so called dynamic AI Director. Because of the way it works, spawning constant zombie attacks it's always the same thing.

In my first 10 minutes of play I realised I'd seen all there was to offer and stopped playing and realised I wasted my money. Luckily someone elsem bought me Left 4 Dead 2, but it was still just as boring. Took me less than 5 minutes to realise what I'd experience.

And honestly, all I can get from people is "Valve" and "Zombies" as to why the L4D series is great and neither of those sells it for me.

What's so great about this game? I mean I don't really like L4D either, but this just feels like a mod that should've stayed a mod. I played it during the free weekend a year back and everything about the game feels clunky. I mean even the menus don't look like they have much polish to it. The ironsights on the guns are horrible, and people walk pretty slowly. The only thing I enjoyed about it was the bullet time mode, but that kind of got annoying because it happens even when you are not fighting zombies.

When you aim down the sights, it would get stuck. Again, very buggy. Elann2008

You do realize that's an actual setting? 1 click to enable ironsights, a 2nd click to disable. You can switch to holding ironsights in the Options menu.

Enemies are too easy to kill.Elann2008

You ever try soloing a Fleshpound? And it's weird that you call them hard to kill when comparing the game to L4D, whose zombies shred faster than wet toilet paper.

LOL! L4D sucks compared to KF. L4D is so boring.

Ehh, I played the trial weekend earlier this year and it's fun, but it boring pretty quickly as well.

Opinions, yay.

To Digitalexile: Your criticism seems to lack knowledge about the element that kept making me come back to L4D2 which was the competitive multiplayer component(versus).

Playing as the special infected is a varied, intense, gameplay experience with a very viceral, and satisfying feel.

There are also other small things that put L4D2 above most other fps titles for me. Like the feedback you get from the visual impact, sound, and everything else related to the guns. Especially the shotguns are pretty much unmatched in my experience.In a game like killing floor you don't get that finely crafted differentiation.

I just want to say, for those of you complaining, I hope you realize the game was an effort created by ten people. The fact that it's being compared to Valve's baby LFD2 is tantamount to its success as an indie game, and Tripwire as an indie developer.

In itself KF doesn't sound very exciting, but when you get down to it, there is no "zombie" game that comes close in terms of sheer intensity.

The community is nicer too. KF is the ARMA of zombie games :P

Exactly, that's such a weird complaint from someone who likes L4D. The only L4D enemy that's even slightly hard to kill is the Tank. I'm guessing he only played, like, 3 waves.

And I never said L4D was harder than KF, vice versa... I said... KF was not challenging enough and it was too easy FOR ME. Opinion, see what I did there? Grrr...Elann2008

That's too bad about connection issues :( Most of the time it's either the server's fault itself or you tried to join a full game and the browser didn't update correctly. I've pretty much only played with friends on our own listen servers with fun people dropping in and out from time to time so community has been absolutely ace.

You can still pub better on KF than LFD in terms of finding a group of likable people, but whatever the case your enjoyment will go up tenfold if you share the experience with friends over skype/vent, you'll be yelling all kinds of profanity and blasting heads in slow-mo. When I think of KF, the one thing I think of is last-stand-backs-to-the-wall intense.

I thought the game was fantastic when I first played it too. Now I get really bored playing it all the time.Pvt_r3d

I don't know what you played but it wasn't KF.

I DIDNT because I am teh best Sorry no hell on earth, that's new, and my game keeps crashing after the new updates I have loads more on my xfire profile, I am the best KF player ever, same for CSS.
Do not ever try to play with me, you will hold me back. There are only a select few people who are as leet as me.

Aw yeah

You have been the mediator in all of this and gave me some great advice and I gladly take them. I'm going to put some hour(s) into and see if I like it more. Honestly, I put in 9 hours into it and I haven't been wow'ed yet. Maybe, I've been doing something wrong or perhaps I was in groups that didn't make it any fun. Any info I should know to make connectivity to servers better and easier? I can only connect to servers 50% of the time so I feel like half of the time I spend on KF is trying to connect. And when I get in to a server, I NEVER leave because I never know if I'll ever get to play again. Thanks in advance.Elann2008

I wish I could help you with that, but I'm not familiar with that problem. Maybe check your UPnP port mapping.. I think there's an option for it in the game, either check that it's on in the game and set on your router, or if it's on, try turning it off (on both). I vaguely recall some problem related to that. There's also Official KF forums and they be a better help than here.

Not trying to convince you to like the game, I mean if you don't like it you don't like it.But I find it a fun challenge on hard. It's been made a lot more difficult now that you can't run around with a crossbow and one-shot scrakes and fleshpounds. I should add you on Steam, myself and a couple friends still play on occasion if you feel like giving it another go.

Well I've owned this game for a long ass time. It has always been epic.
