@@matthewyeldig4608 the berserker in general is so satisfying. Arguably the most fun perk in the game. You have swords, clubs, exploding hammers, healing sticks, lightsabers (kinda), axes, shotgun-axes, pistols that shoot saws and an emp plasma rifle. It's just a shame that no one plays it. You have the OGs who play the precision perks and the majority who just spam chaos perks.

[@gagekieffer772]

The silver lining about the paywalled weapons is that if one person in your lobby has them, everyone in the lobby can use them. If you have a buddy or two that consistently plays the game with you, it might be worth it for one of you to buy the ultimate edition for all the weapon packs.

[@PhoenicopterusR]

Is that actually how that works? I remember always seeing different weapons pop up on the initial lobby screen, didn't know what it meant.

[@Ramonatho]

​@PhoenicopterusR the different weapons relate to who in your group owns the weapons. If one guy owns the Mosin nagant and then leaves the lobby, that weapon is no longer available for your lobby.

[@PhoenicopterusR]

@@Ramonatho well shit, I guess I just wasn't paying that much attention. Good to know though, thanks!

[@Niflheimrr_EL]

This, so much this. KF2 is one of the few if not only game people are happy to see someone who bought the op weapon pack since you can then use them.

[@EonAzure]

Yeah you usually see an announcement pop up that says *player name* is sharing content. That means someone is sharing something they own and usually. It can be anything from one wep to the entire armorer weapons pack

The microtransaction part was well said. Does open your eyes when you realize that AA studios or newly grown developers want to make better products but in turn alot more revenue to do it. People do deserve a good reward for their hard work too

[@Zectifin]

I'm all for smaller and middle sized devs getting their bag so they can pay their bills and make a better game. I just wish the pricing was a little better and the currency systems not so convoluted. By all means, pump out that payable DLC, just make it a reasonable price and not a confusing mess.

[@GamerVB1539]

@@Zectifin no i get that. It dont make sense to have skins be worth more than weapons. But i think thats mostly the problem. Its fine to have the market that they have but tripwire should reevaluate how much these things are really worth. Its up to them to justify those prices

[@jamzee_]

I gotta say, as long as a company can prove that even the littlest of dev, the simplest intern, will receive a living pay, im all for paying for support dlc. Like Deep Rock, GhostShip is very honest with what happens with their money, they have stated how they spend it in streams before, so im comfortable giving them my money above the standard purchase. You get to see how they spend it in the games they are working on. Versus companies like blizzard which requires you to shovel them cash just to play a janky mess of a game then shoveling that money to fight harassment cases in court.

[@joao34386]

It's important to remember something in regards to Killing Floor 2 though: Most of the DLCs and updates from the past years were not made by the original devs, or even the original company. That work has been outsourced to a third party (who do a pretty poor job) and the community, who's contributions tend to get butchered for no good reason. The microtransactions have become almost entirely predatory whilst requiring the bare minimum amount of effort put into new content. 2 Of the community members who had their levels added officially even spoke out about how many unnecessary, detrimental, and just poor-quality changes the studio made to their levels prior to official implementation, all while COMPLETELY ignoring every bit of feedback from those very same level designers.

[@shemsuhor8763]

No, these are not justifiable practices at all. It's not okay when Blizzard or EA do it, and it's not okay when Tripwire does it. Period. You tell me how you can be okay with Tripwire doing it but not Tencent? I'll wait. This is a zero-sum game. You cannot, logically, be mad at EA or Ubisoft for doing stuff like this, but turn around and tell me "well, poor wittle Twipwire is okay to do it, they're just a small wittle team of cutesy developers UwU." Ubisoft is a giga-corporation; don't they have even more employees and even more mouths to feed, which just justifies their shit practices even more, than Tripwire, then? You cannot have-your-cake-and-eat-it-too with this. Software-as-a-service is a disgusting model and it's embarrassing to see how weak consumers have become over the years on this topic. I guess the "you will own nothing and you will be happy" future really is inevitable, at this rate.

Payday and Killing Floor are some of my favorite series, and I'm really surprised on how similar they are in both their style, upbringing, and managmemt. -Grungy first game with more modern sequels -Heavy emphasis on refining the first game's formula when developing the release -Microtransaction/Marketplace heavy especially in the sequel -Both got a third game too

I hope wave shooters aren't destined to this format but I know we're not in Nacht Der Untoten anymore.

[@Fuzzleberry]

I really hope payday 3 takes a page from KF's book and learns how to do classes that all play different but can all enjoy every part of the game equally. Instead of stealth guy finishing the level as tough guy stands outside or stealth guy is constantly downed and needs tough guy to help them fight. (This might be better now but I stopped playing because this was such a problem at one point)

@@cykablyat6348 Lol typical internet response. No, That's called bad game design. in a coop game with 3 skill trees and a wide range of equipment you should be encouraged to cover a wide variety to deal with everything. Instead the stealth stuff is pointless when fighting and the fighting stuff is completely useless when stealthing. Its like having 2 different games in 1 that are completely incompatible with each other instead of 1 with unique tactics for each problem.

@@Fuzzleberry ? u do realise that stealth and loud are different gamemodes? i dont go into a ffa lobby in cod and think its dominion, thats just dumb. thats why lobbies are marked loud or stealth in payday 2, if you want to play stealth you go into a stealth lobby wth are you even on about.

Quick note that you can swap your perk skills in the middle of the match every different wave, so you can switch your tactics along with your weapons halfway through the game.

[@SSD_Penumbra]

I always think the most interesting part about KF2 is the lore implications that build up from the first game, purely built on worldbuilding alone. KF1's lore was basically "Mad scientist fucks a military trial up and the clones go bananas." KF2's lore takes that implication and dials it all the way to 11. Basically, the teams sent in during KF1 failed to contain the spread, but Horzine (the super evil corporation during god-knows-what) has spread globally, taking their problems with them. The world is fucked in KF2, and to make matters worse, they didn't just use The Patriarch's plans, but also the writings of a *checks notes* ....Thule Society Nazi who became obsessed with the occult. You may think that last part is a joke. It isn't. Volter was a nazi who did some Hellboy shit in the 40s, and we know this because of his map (Volter's Mansion) is littered with occult stuff, and also Volter has a Black Sun on his chest.

[@manofmercy1500]

And then there’s the thread that said Mad Scientist’s daughter, who had previously helped the Britain mercs destroy the main Horzine lab where her dad started the whole ZED mess, became SO desperate to stop her mutated father after her new series of EDAR robots went haywire, she resorted to undergoing the same genetic gene splicing process that turned her father into an insane monster, only to wind up just as insane and mutated to the point where she’ll aim to kill her former mercenary allies if she thinks they’re in the way of her tracking down the Patriarch.

[@49mozzer]

Horzine isn't evil, stupid but not evil. While they are taking advantage of the chaos they are the ones that made the trader pods an keeping the mercs supplied with weapons, supplies an dosh. Also they were always a global company. I doubt they would have been building new zed labs as the UK was eaten alive, they were already built.

[@The1of1000]

With each installation it seems they emphasize the story more. Guessing KF3 will be very story/campaign oriented.

[@ddlcp]

Its always been about the gameplay game such as kf as most stories in general's fairly straight forward with some obvious/ some not so turns along the way.

[@SSD_Penumbra]

@@ddlcp Oh the story is really barebones, but the fact that it's all done through worldbuilding alone is really impressive. Like, there's no cutscene of them explaining things, it's all just little observations on each map

Okay, fun fact about abomination: he spawns twice as often as the other bosses due to the fact that his normal spawn and his spawn for seasonal maps are both included in the list of standard boss spawns.

I'm really glad you mentioned the Christmas events because I've made a little personal tradition where I play Killing Floor every Christmas day. I play the game every once in a while, but I always make sure to play on Christmas day, whether it's one match or a few hours. I believe I've been doing it since 2013, and I'm really looking forward to continuing that tradition in Killing Floor 3 😄

To that optimization point, a few times a year my friends and I get an urge to play KF2 for fun and reinstall. Every time we do, it crashes on startup until we look up a fix and then takes 5-10 minutes to fully launch. Once we’re playing we forget the bullshit, but going through that each time is such an irritating hump to get over

I watched a hand full of videos from Bricky (mostly of games im interested in personally (also including a few of the videos after this one was posted)) and I'm commenting on This one specifically specifically to say that he brings up things I usually dont pay much or any thought to. Im a simple person, I play game, if I had a good experience I'd say I enjoy it and dont usually look too deep into it. For instance. MW3 (2023?) Campaign flop was (for me) only because I noted that it was very short and the 'end' was awful (I didn't play Warzone.) But Bricky opened my eyes to plot holes and other problems that the game had. I appreciate that he expands the view for people like me.

[@EvanHead]

Thank you! Someone who loves the Christmas events more or less than I do. I remember playing the first two with my friends and they were the best. However. The more recent ones don't feel as lore heavy as they used to. Same thing with the Halloween events but those are more understanding. The Christmas events always held a close place within me. I get that we stopped krampus in the second one but still they could've built up on that alone even more. Still love it though

21:40 back when it first came out, i made a suggestion that they add a Third person mode That works in public games, got some smartass say "Killing floor is a first person game, not a third person game and it'll never be third person" My response to that was, "then why are they selling us Cosmetics for our character that we can't see"

I get what you mean with the "people pay tons to the right people". I bought the supporter pack for battlebit not because I liked the skins, but because I loved the game and wanted support the devs.

[@hecc7906]

All the microtransactions can be forgiven with two words: Mrs. Foster

[@spamhere1123]

My favorite part of the difficulty settings in KF2 is that higher difficulty is not just "more health, more damage" enemies. Yes, they do have more health, yes, they do have more damage, but it's actually not that much. The health of the enemies scales FAR more by the number of players than it does by difficulty. What mainly makes it harder is that the enemy behavior totally changes. Clots don't just amble towards you; the sprint, dive roll to dodge your hits, and rather than one slow, easily-dodged swipe for an attack, they have multi-hit combo attacks. All enemies are like this--they run faster, hit many times rather than once, actually try to dodge your attacks, and are just infinitely more aggressive. The entire pace of the game changes at higher difficulties, and I love it.

[@HoloCatHead]

On the subject of Micro transactions. I miss the days of Expansion packs. It was sometimes $40 but what you got was usually a side campaign, a pile of weapon skins and maybe a perk deck and some other goodies. I had no beefs with that system. It felt like a good deal and I even found myself recommending it to folks cuz some of the campaigns were NUTS.

[@MindOfGenius]

Another thing to note on the weapons; all of the OLD DLC from the 1st game (like Dragonsbreath Shotgun) are here FOR FREE which was a smart decision. Even if you don't want to pick up any weapon DLC you still have some good choices for each class.

It should also be noted that companies employ the use of purposefully confusing microtransaction menus and currencies to convince the player why it's a smarter/easier solution to just outright buy the product. If the devs were told to design one that was more straightforward, people would then understand how to game the system to get things like emotes for free

[@MrGodsNomad]

Hey Bricky, Great review, been playing KF2 on since PS4. There was one thing you forgot about that goes with your topic on trusting the Devs. Now this only applies to the weapons, and though it is a bit of an ask in price, the one thing you didn’t mention is that you can share the weapons you buy while in match. And it allows people whom didn’t buy it to use all those juicy weapons. So even though I can agree with you, I do think they did certain things that Triple A devs wouldn’t do at all. Hope you are having a great one man 🎉

[@Ren99510]

One thing I will say about the guns that you pay for is, as long as one person has bought them in your lobby be it a friend or random player, everyone in the lobby gets access to them this includes cross-promotional things like the claymore for having chivalry medieval warfare. Got to at least give them credit for that.

[@fireswordhero1644]

I'd like to point out that just after watching Bricky's first killing floor video, I found out that just a few days prior that they released a trailer for Killing Floor 3. If this isnt a sign that Killing Floor is becoming hype again and that it was fate for Bricky to hype us up for the Killing Floor games again, I don't know what is.

[@mohawkan423023]

Great point on the microtransactions - never had a problem that they exist, the problem is WHAT they are for. If studios produce genuinely good extra content that adds to the experience in a meaningful way, consumers will give their money no problem, but... that's rarely the case :/

[@drunkbunny94]

Have almost 2k hours on KF2 and made a ton of friends through the various mods and server discords many of who I'm still in contact with today. Honestly KF2 has a fantastic core with some of the best combat/gameplay with amazing mechanics like reload cancelling and zed time, different types of CC allowing for combos and takedowns of large zeds and class synergies tying the coop together. It's such a shame that most of the additions it received over the years showed that they didn't realise what people liked and what made KF2s combat so unique and satisfying and playing the game now it feels spammier and less intense.

[@zestytable2199]

I felt a bit iffy on if I was gonna buy this game but that OST sold it for me. There is no better experience then blasting zombies with heavy metal in your ears

[@conquest_and_fate]

The summer sideshow skins were sick during the event! 🤡 🔥

[@Knight1029]

I will always love Bricky for the simple fact he doesn't give the answer, "Developers hate making good games," he understands that it is more complicated than that. To be a game developer you genuinely have to be a sociopath to tell with the issues of the industry.

[@toddchily6737]

Nah that microtransaction rant was based af idc what ppl say

[@BenBuki]

the microtransactions never bothered me i cant really think of a time they were shoved in my face to the point whered id acknowledge their existence i have bought a 5 dollar character outfit but i had to actually discover that on my own, great video bricky

[@dabbwolf]

As someone who played the game in it's early access form during 2015 and still plays it occasionally, I think Bricky nailed every single gripe I had about the Killing Floor 2. The game itself is pretty solid and still is fun to play, there's no denying that. Also, adding up a little on the paid weapons: It used to be that these were only purchasable in-game, but the armory pass somewhat alleviated the issue, if your friend has it - you get the access too. But it's all just... Lazy. If you take any weapon from these paid packs and compared the animations to the ones game shipped with, you can clearly see the lack of quality: the animations are stiff, sometimes visual bugs would appear... And they charge a shitton of money for em. Not to mention that HRG variations, albeit they bring new qualities to the classes and options, at the end of the day they're just boring uninspiring reskins. I hope they will come around and make Killing Floor 3 the greatest experience, but I'm staying very skeptical after what they've done with Killing Floor 2. Also, not bringing up "Demon Hunter - Collapsing" in the music segment is criminal.

[@jandamz1119]

Another fun fact about KF2: It preloads the assets for _all_ levels at application start rather than loading the necessary assets of a level being played on; so for some people who didn't install it on an SSD or fast hard drive, the game will launch significantly slower at times taking up to half an hour due to the sheer amount of maps. The reasoning behind this choice was to lower load times between matches and faster getting into gameplay/action after boot up. The downside is that the boot up time gets worse for every new map that gets added that mostly has new assets. I for example used to have the game installed on an external drive in case a friend wanted to have the game installed but didn't have the net speed to do so. Launching the game from that drive made it boot up really slow and it got to the point after a major update that added a new map that it outright took an hour to launch. So heads up for anyone installing the game in a regular hard drive or so.

[@jankomericki2966]

Man, this video is so good, it's got me Bricked up.

[@mrtan5641]

Best part of the weapon packs. You just need one person to own it for everyone in the server to use it. And its ACTUALLY pretty common when i play games that someone else has the weapon pack and its unlocked for everyone.

[@KageRyuu6]

The Matriarch is actually the Patriarch's daughter, while the Siren is a clone on his Wife, and the Clots are cloned from his Son. So, regarding your "new main squeeze" comment... ew. Additionally, I like Trip Wire, I don't love them because for about a year there was a runaway memory leak that made KF2 unplayable for me, but you don't have to buy the DLC to benefit from it, because those who do share it with the whole lobby.

[@chiefbungalow]

I met a schizophrenic guy on this game once. Refused any kind of voice chat, even saying he'd block anyone that tried in his psn bio (which also told me he was schizophrenic). Friends for a week or two, naturally drifted apart. I still think about that guy sometimes

[@sanquinlily]

TLDW: If you ignore the Inventory, Vault and Store buttons, KF2 is vastly superior to KF

[@Midnight_EchoLT]

As someone who has played original killing floor and was part of KF2 playerbase, prior to its full release. OG Killing floor was a mod for unreal tournament 2004, so seeing a mod evolve like this is beautiful, staying hyped for KF3

[@ALittleBitEccentric]

Video starts at 1:36

[@issacblack4656]

I am max lvl with all of the classes and 200 hours in this game. This is the best review i have watched thank you for adding the bit about the modded maps because some of them are GOLD

[@EvilBender555]

Got any recommendations? The only custom maps I played so far are kf1 maps and killing pool

[@E_maile]

finally someone said it. I despise people that hate a game just because of the fact that it has microtransactions, that term alongside live service model gets a lot of bad rep for no good reason. The concepts themselves are good, you can pay money for cosmetics, and get free content for it in the future but its just that so many big games overprice their skins and implement these things badly that for "gamers" the terms are now synonymous with a bad game.

[@marcantoinelab12321]

As someone who has been playing KF2 since 2015, I want to add something to what Bricky ticky Tack said. 1- The micro transaction thing is true. BUT! But, for many things, it is shareable content. Meaning once you have lets say the DLC for the riot shield +glock, you share it to other players in your lobby for free! But it's not for all weapons. 2- The music is amazing but it can get very repetitive after a while, hearing the same 30 ish songs will get old. 3- it can run pretty decently on potatoe PCs. At least in my and my friends' experience. 4- The game is fantastic but I think having maybe a story mode or SOMETHING could be really fun. Even if it's just a bunch of back to back missions with some cutscenes.

[@usernamecharlie]

I love your videos

[@Soul_Cinema]

i'm sure many others have probably pointed this out by now in other comments, but the performance issues are caused by NVIDIA Flex, if you turn it off in the settings the game runs great without stutters even on low end systems in my experience

[@rin3542]

I’m still angry at the dev’s for saying that dlc would be free 💀

[@tiredman99]

The Soundtrack to this game is Absolute Fire!

[@scytheiota7144]

As a 7-year KF2 veteran, get KF1 instead of this steaming mess of an abandoned game.

[@YourFriendOnion]

I have 1000+ hours in killing floor 2 and I’m still learning new stuff all the time. I’m a few levels from being 25 with every class, right now my lowest is 23 and I’m so close!

[@cinnamon_styx]

I love that after bricky released his first killing floor video, the game went on sale the next day.

[@keidasshu5676]

if there one thing i like about killing floor 2 difficulty is the fact that harder difficult doesn't actually make the enemy more bullet sponges instead they give them more tool to attack you also the fps issue you experiencing might be because of nvidia flex , i ran it on my old pc which was just a phenom 3 core with well gt1030 and it ran fine

[@gasolineandwine]

Both your first KF video and this one were fantastic, and you can clearly tell there's love and passion, both for the games and the videos you created. Your microtransactions talk was spot on, and I think most reasonable people would agree that videogame companies need profit to continue making games while still doing it in an organized manner. Keep these up! I really enjoyed them 💙

[@JustShawn11]

Holy shit,Bricky have changed a lot,for the better. Wth its been 7 years. Good to see you going strong

[@rocker2349]

3:58 what did that poor bloat do to deserve this..? (i loved the video btw...even though im 3 months late. killing floor will always have a special place in my heart, as it is one my favorite zombie games ever.

[@crysiszombie]

The soundtrack portion didn't mention the excellent licensed songs they have in the game. So many good bands in that soundtrack list. There's an indie game I played for the longest time called Hero Siege on steam that is extremely cheap and I ended up buying every single character and skin pack they added because it all went to support a game I thoroughly enjoyed

[@AquaticHydra]

That microtransaction talk at the end is exactly why I think hunt has the best monetization philosophy of pretty much any game out right now.
