Was Killing Floor 2 a Plus game or something? I forgot I had it. Installed it a while back, played for about 10 minutes and deleted it. It didn’t click at all and felt clunky. Last night I reinstalled while wanting some new shooter to play and gently caress man it’s so fun! I don’t like L4D style games all that often but it’s really enjoyable. Not crazy about the few games that went on for like 15 minutes while spectating someone kiting a boss but eh I can avoid that by sticking to normal difficulty I’m sure.


If I found the first game to have cool monsters and atmosphere but hated absolutely everything about playing it should I check out 2?

I think you will. The game doesn't have anywhere near as interesting a story imo, and the mind fuckery is limited to linear segments, but the monsters are wonderfully disgusting and the game play is much more coherent. The development team definitely learned.

Still, I would recommend playing it once. It's an incredible experience, and every single time I quit, just a few hours later I'd get the urge to go back to it. The only thing it would really need would be a way to better communicate that you've found the right solution to a puzzle, even if it doesn't work on your first attempt.

I mean...it was designed to be frustrating and somewhat inscrutable on purpose... :shrug:

Trico behaved fine for me and the two times I got stuck were because I'd missed something obvious. I even got the infamous drop his tail through a hole bit to work pretty easily.

Trico being "frustrating" to control, I 100% understand as being part of the game. I don't expect it to react instantly to every one of my commands, I actually love its general behavior and how natural it looks and I know that forming a realistic bond between the kid/player and his pet/friend is the point of the game, and I can appreciate that.

If the game could keep that realism but find a way to let me know that I've solved a puzzle but that Trico needs a few more minutes to really get the hang of it, it would be a million times less frustrating to me.

Best advice I was ever given?

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

Opened my eyes.
Began Uncharted 3:

- I thought they would never touch on how Sully and Drake met and just have it being one of those random adventures they keep referencing but that was neat

- The gameplay itself of that part wasn't tho, the camera really didn't help escaping the MIBs

- Chloe! :neckbead: Wait...oh no, she'll definitely die in this one, there's no way she survives two games :ohdear:

- I like Cutter already, I also thought "Great Movie!" when Drake mentioned Lawrence of Arabia :downs:

- The close combat is...awkward? This came out after Arkham Asylum and around the same time as City but definitely does not feel as good

- I love Drake's little doodles

The dock really fucks a case or nerfing it.

FF12 hack. Free LP and exp.

Go to an area you are over leveled for. Put on FF. Set up gambit for 1 character to steal if foe health =100%

Then here's the trick. Hand the controller to your 7 year old. Tell her to kill everything and run around.

There's no point when you'll max out everyone's license boards by the end of the game if you do the arena battles a couple of times.

I bought Enter the Gungeon during the sale and am completely in love with it. The gameplay feels super slick and it seems like the game has endless replay ability.

Nuclear Throne is on psn but I can't afford it, and it doesn't seem to be on sale. I guess I'll sleep on gungeon then and figure this out between This is the Police, re6, and transistor.

If you can play 30 hours of co-op, RE6 is amazing. It's an utter trash fire of a game but like RE5 it is insanely good horror camp. Also gameplay camp if that can be a thing. There's no finer experience than being the other guy in a scripted boss fight, forced to watch the interesting thing happen through a scope 200 feet away.

If you don't care, sure. It spoils huge parts of the first 2 games. Possibly even as early as the intro cutscene.

While you can technically play V3 without playing the first two it would greatly lessen the impact.
