We're less than 20 hours out from SEA, and there's been word on the street that Australia (and others) may get a censored version for local release. Obviously this means I'll have to get a US goon to buy for me, but surely this close to SEA Tripwire would know if they have to have a cut version available or not?

From the store page for KF2 :

NOTE: It is quite likely that there are some regions where we may be required to make cuts in the future, particularly in the gore system, to comply with local ratings boards, once we get the game into its full release status. Regions most likely at risk of this are Germany (via USK) and Australia (via OFLC). Japan is another possibility (via CERO), but is an unknown quantity to us. To be quite clear: this means that, if you are buying from a region which regularly forces cuts on to games for gore, you may get reduced gore when we go to the full release version of the game.

Yes, I read that but was hoping it was known one way or the other by now. It's not like SEA bypasses any censorship issues.

Personally, I don't think we need to worry now that we an R rating available for games now.

Given that there is no mention on Steam of the new Mortal Kombat being censored, I can hope they won't touch KF2. MKX is way more extreme in their fatalities than KF2 will ever be.

I can't believe how much I miss the "switch to last used weapon" button from KF1. Toggling quickly between 2 items is great, and I just can't do it accurately or as quickly with the mouse-wheel or number keys.

I can sorta see someone getting annoyed if they managed to get to level 20 and were getting used to suicidal, then getting bumped down in level so that they can't really play at that level anymore.

Players should all start out at level 50 so the game is really easy, and as they get better they start to lose XP and skills until the best players have no extra stuff at all. Anyone can be awesome with massive damage boosts and protections. Let's get this sorted so we can see who the real heavy hitters are!

It's kinda interesting watching people call each other retard baby shits over the clot grab. Interesting and also loving dumb.

We don't even agree on it internally at Tripwire (Shocking revelation: we are not a game design hive mind) but if you're ever going to try out a mechanic early access is the place to do it. If it loving sucks we can always change it or make it an option or whatever. I'm just glad that something solves the problem in KF1 of not being able to move and not knowing that you're grabbed by a clot until a Fleshpound has expanded your anus.

I'm sure you don't give a poo poo what a few retards on SA think, but my vote is to keep it in. In a team game that is all about awareness, something that can gently caress up your aim because you or your team ignored a threat is a good thing. If players don't like it happening, get better.

If they want me to use the syringe mid-combat, they need to make it a lot easier to use on a moving target. Anyone who needs it is probably desperately strafing around and/or my "helpful" syringe is just going to mean I bodyblock them in to eat the damage anyhow. I never felt like the KF1 syringe was tricky to use on moving targets, but I really struggle with the KF2 syringe.

Yeah, I've pretty much given up trying to use the syringe on others unless it's between waves or otherwise really quiet. If someone is moving it's next to impossible to hit them with it. As you say, in KF1 it was trivial.

The one place with the ramp with a pipe full of blood, four weldable doors, and a bunch of computer desks that inevitably get blown up by wave 3?

For some reason, my group always seems to wander into that area despite us actively planning and repeated to ourselves that we should never go there. I don't know why it always happens.

I love that spot not because it's easy or a great place to hole up, but because it gets absolutely mental after a while and everyone shits their pants. I don't want a quiet paint-by-numbers game when I play, I want balls-out mayhem.

Every single time I've tried to weld a door to get some support XP, I've been yelled at for it. Every single time I ask about which doors are good to weld I get told never to weld anything. In my defense the game explicitly tells me when choosing the support perk that welding doors gives me XP so I assumed it was somehow beneficial. Also I'm completely new to this game.

I wish that the game didn't claim that welding is a good thing and would give me XP when it seems to be bad more often than not.

If I ever feel like welding for XP, which is almost never, I just weld one up and then unweld it immediately afterwards. Repeat as desired. I've certainly never done it tactically as it has never seemed to help at all, just when I'm waiting for the trader pod to shut.

Everything in KF1 except Firebug was super good.

While firebugs would anger FPs and scrakes, they were magic at clearing out trash on early waves and I had lots of fun with them. Being immune to husk fire and their own grenades was pretty helpful, too. And lighting the Patriarch up so people could track him when he cloaked was pretty useful.

Outpost plays fine, but god is it boring to look at after playing Bioticslab for a while. It's like someone removed all of the cool stuff in Bioticslab and replaced it with a generic outdoors snowy base area.

And the best spots to fight are all outside that I've seen, so the only spots indoors I've even really seen are the ones with trader pods. Mind you, it's amusing to see how far up the walls you can splash blood.

Amusingly, on one of my last Outpost games I had died and then respawned into the new wave when the last zed to be killed was a vomiting Bloat. I spawned right into his vomit flow and started the wave taking damage as I headed for the trader. Both annoying and funny at the same time.

My specific problem is having to haul rear end all the way across a map to get to a trader pod. This is usually a problem on custom maps (some of them have the pods 300+ m apart, which is just poo poo no matter how you look at it) and that's not TW's issue but sometimes even a regular map is tough.

If you're not all moving towards the trader when you're down to the last few zeds then you aren't playing it right. I mean, if you died you have to weigh-up having the cash to re-buy or going back for your gun, but when you talk about distance between pods you must be talking about between wave visits, and you need to be near the pod before the wave ends.

Jimbot posted:

Do they plan on ever adding anything that lets you keep track of your team better? Not being able to see where they are if you happen to get split up during an extremely hectic fight isn't all that fun. Being able to see their outlines through the walls or something would be a good addition.

Hell no, I just can't agree with you here. Part of the fun is trying to get back to the group. And by "fun" I mean "panic", and some of my favourite parts of the game is when things go to poo poo.

Hopefully they'll get back to us in a week or so before I go back to thinking either the sky is falling or talking about how lame the Commando is outside of being the trashman. Or just forget this game exists again. :(

Being the trashman is such an important job. It shits me when a scrake or FP turns up and everyone ignores all the other stuff and just concentrates on them. Then a bunch of gorefasts or clots wander in and gently caress everyone. If I'm Commando at that stage I ignore the big guys and clear out the junk so Zerkers can maneuver around.

Don't Large Mags increase total ammo count or am I recalling incorrectly? If they don't, they should, so the trade off is that while faster reloading is superior, Large Mags give you a larger pool of ammo.

Yeah, that's a good point that I didn't think of if they increase max ammo count. I guess you would weight it against how often you run dry through a wave.

I enjoy playing medic simply because it changes from a zed-shooting game to a "try and get a shot on that guy in the distance when other guys keep getting in between us" game. I really like trying to place myself in the best spot to cover the most people, and even with the homing darts you still feel like a bad-rear end for getting a heal off way across the map.
I try to clear up trash if it's going to block or get behind someone, and target sirens who are behind the big guys. Other than that I tend to leave shooting to others, which sometimes makes me feel like I'm not pulling my weight. But I'd rather be able to heal someone when it's needed than to be caught reloading.
