Why I'm Not Planning To Buy Killing Floor 3...

[@sadgallington7850]

I don't really understand why the cosmetic aspect is the issue on this controversy, you're not going to get much sympathy from normies if you present your problem like this "I won't buy this game because they're threatening customization" this is like... you understand? This might be your issue and not really money but yeah. In reality I think the actual problem is "specialist" being sold, the solemn reason they did this is to sell you perks rather than just cosmetics (specialist = skin + perk). Instead of you just buying a cosmetic like usual, with this change you're sort of obliged to buy a cosmetic (because it isn't just that anymore) if you want to stick with the meta/try new content, because this is really that, a new way to milk the player's pockets. Look at Dauntless for example, a very niche game but I loved it, what they did to it? something similar... Deleted like 180-120+ weapons from the game, replaced them all with 19 weapons (now sold at the store 15$ dollars each), which now basically are skin + perks + skill and call it a day. For context, each weapon had a very small perk (not meaningful at all) and that was it, the rest of the build (skills and perks) system was completely untied to the weapon, so you could 100% customize the build and perks (due to the number of weapons every perk for every element was available basically so no restrictions). In simple terms they're making a cosmetic (something optional) be tied to something meaningful/game changing like perks/skills to force people not only to buy the skin if they like it but also buy the perk (probably to charge more also), if they don't like the skin this goes to the perk, like some sort of 2x1==1x2 abusive system. I hate it and I hope that every game that is doing this gets backlash at least, because I don't see any difference between this and a mobile game where everything ends up being p2w. Cheers.

You are judging the game before it has even come out. KF1 to KF2 is very different, KF3 is equally different too from what we can gather. Can you please tell me why you think Concorde and Killing Floor are similar, they are totally different games? With your logic, do you think Borderlands is a hero shooter? Of course not. Give the game a chance and then be as critical as you want, but please don't judge a book by it's cover.

So you would rather play NIKKE and Stellar Blade, but not Killing Floor 3?

The character design is so cringe and looks like they're supposed to be action figures. Okay, okay, take a second look at the original Ninja Turtles toy of the Shredder. Do a quick Google search; they use the exact same head design as that toy for the ninja in this game. The medic, excuse me I mean, Obi-Wan Kenobi looks too Star Wars to me. You have the guy that is the idea of the advanced Warfighter rip-off character of the exo suit. You have the Sharpshooter, which is basically any generic sniper person, but it is also kind of messed up because if you look up a GI Joe action figure, they actually have a sniper character that looks exactly like that. They have Mr. Foster, but he's a clone. Why, he doesn't even sound like Mr. Foster; he sounds like a bootleg. DJ Scully and slightly different pitch think about it. Think about DJ Scully saying, Splash some cash, and re-listen to the Clone Mr. Foster speak. Then you got the female character from Fix-It Felix as a fire bug, whose character design does not fit at all in the game more so than the others. Every character design that's playable is too clean. They don't look like warriors; they don't look like mercs; they look like action figures.
