Foxi'd rather them early access the games and allow us to give us feedback rather than just hoping that their game works out for the best and fully releases it and patches it after

The problem is that devs take their sweet time getting to the finished state because they already got paid and there is next to no motivation to complete the full release. It's happened many times with indie games, and I've gotten burned by one too many early access/kickstarter titles that failed to deliver.

KF2 looks like they're doing things right, but i'm holding back to "vote with my wallet" against the early access fad.

yeah but i think it's silly you're striking against the devs that seem to be putting their heart into it and are actually using early access the proper way

i really doubt the kf devs would ever leave the game unfinished, and i'm willing to put that into text now because i really doubt they are going to abandon their game even a year from now

i agree, i dislike early access but they updated kf1 for like 6-7 years?

they obviously care about their fans

I'm not actually striking against the devs, I'm just not going to buy the game until full release. And I absolutely plan to buy this because I love Killing Floor.

Game is fun as fuck, looks great, actually starting with your class weapon is great. Leveling is better, sprint is nice since it's actually balanced around weight and I think health.

No. Not from what I've played since the beta. You get a flat miniscule-yet-noticable speedboost that doesn't change no matter what weapon you actively have, your carry weight, or your health. Berserker and Medic get bonus move speed as they level up just like KF1. Berserker has a specific perk that gives him a flat bonus speed boost at a certain low-health threshold.

well i just got to level 10 in this game after playing all day with some friends

this game is really tough, but idk if it's just fake difficulty because it doesn't exactly matter how you play, but it also depends on your characters levels because the stat attributes make a huge difference in how well you can handle the harder difficulties

i haven't beaten any of the campaigns yet, but i still had a ton of fun just dicking around with my friends killing zombies in a game that i can say is quite difficult, but idk if i would call it legitimate difficulty

the AI is super crafty at its current stage as far as i've seen for bosses, and some of the waves on the harder difficulties will make you probably say wtf out loud

definitely think this is a worthy purchase so far, especially since not all the content is in here yet and it's only 4 classes at the moment haha

I think the game is pretty solid, one of the more well polished 'early access' games. Feels like they might need to revamp the current XP system, not having to kill a monster for XP is great but at the moment it might encourages running through tagging every enemy with 1 pistol shot to net full XP without killing anything.

I also hope there are tweaks to the boss. Haven't lost a solo match because the boss seems so easy there, but have died to him multiple times because of his health and damage scaling for other players in a match. He can barely seem to drop you past half health on a solo attempt but his grenades and minigun are near instant kills when another player is present. Looking forward to seeing the other bosses that are supposed to be added though.
