WTF is wrong with Killing Floor 2? (lemmy.world)

The game now requires an always-online connection, even if you play offline. Just tried it myself by setting Steam to offline mode and you can never 'Ready Up' into a map. This was not the case before the Epic Games Store integration they did awhile ago.

The game is now bloated to 100+ GB install. If you already own KF2, you need to pay more for the Ultimate edition for all the silly weapon packs they added to the game over the years VS buying it bundled (???). All the stupid lootboxes are STILL in the game. It takes forever to boot this game off a HDD.

It just sucks man. I heard about the game in the anniversary post and wanted to play KF2 again. Its crazy how this game somehow gotten worse over time. How can KF3 possibly be good?

I tried KF2 for a while and really couldn't get into it. The game just lacks replayability in my opinion. Trying different perks, maps, difficulties, etc. really didn't resonate with me because I felt like I was doing basically the same thing, just kiting around enemies in a predictable loop. There was a serious absence of memorable moments, unlike with other horde shooters like l4d and even b4b. Sunk a few dozen hours into it and it kinda feels like a waste in hindsight, never really enjoyed it and spent the whole time trying to.
