killing floor vs killing floor 2

[KibaCoyote]

i want to know the community's opinion, i own both, ive played both and i absolutely love both, however i want to know which the community prefers? or like which one you personally like more and why and so on, i want to know the opinions of the community

prefer the look of KF1, second is too high tech for me personally

prefer the gameplay of KF2, the ragdolling of enemies is fun and the parry system adds another thing to master

Killing floor 1 is the only choice here. It has great graphics, gameplay loop, a certain charm to it. The last couple of maps added were already indicating Tripwire was going downhill, but nonetheless I also played Burning Paris, Outpost and Bioticslab for 300 hundred hours when KF2 first came out. Then came lootboxes, weapon skins and the zedconomy and Killing floor 2 basically deleted itself from any self-respecting gamer's library.

I like both versions, but it really comes down to "Would I buy them again if I had to?"

And frankly, the only reason I'd buy KF2 again is for the level editor, as I mainly play it on Xbox, and the only reason I'd buy KF1 again is if I could get my hands on a physical copy - that is if those exist.

1 was a much more interesting game, but 2 was definitely more playable.

I have a physical copy.

KF2's astmosphere is quite frankly ♥♥♥♥ and is even more predatory than KF1 ever was.
I like the gritty raw details of KF1, the music, well everything.
The only thing I like from KF2 is that hammer that has that explosive thing attached to it. Grug smash!

The only thing that is a major bad thing with KF1 is the hitbox for the heads, which is some of the biggest garbage I've ever seen in a game, other then that, it's perfect and KF2 can eat ♥♥♥♥, and if rumours are to be belivied, KF3 can also eat ♥♥♥♥ since it looks to get even further away from the formula I love.

I'd love a remaster of KF1 where they only fix the bugs, keep the physics engine mostly the same in terms of maths, fix the security holes/exploits and give a touch of graphics fidelity to it (such as more visceral blood) and do a slight rebalance of the weapons so some of them are not ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ (Bile thrower for example).

Even better if you only have to purchase the game, but if you already own the DLC on KF1, it get's registered for free in said Remaster (but I don't doubt for a second that Tripwire being the grubby money pinchers they are requiring you to buy the dlc all over again).

If it's not possible, I one day hope the community that's left would be interested in making some form of "OpenKF1" where the mission goal is to keep everything mostly the same, but with the security flaws, bugs and exploits gone and on a more modern engine with better dev tools for mutators etc. Legally it would be very easy to make without Tripwire kvetching, since OpenRCT clearly can exist, and not even Nintendo could do ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about the Super Mario 64 PC port since it does not redistribute assests nor contains even a single line of code from Nintendo.

Aesthetic of KF1's atmosphere and horror brings me back. I prefer the first personally despite KF2's better gameplay aspects. Don't like the direction KF2 was heading TW was heading for before it was killed off and milked but hey, it ain't bad. KF1 will always be that special game.

neither they both suck... get an actual game that is not doing the same repetitive ♥♥♥♥ non stop. KF1, KF2 and KF3 are all the same game.

KF2 is too demanding for my liking also robots are lame. I can hop in KF1 and enjoy a match with out too much investment but KF2 is demanding with a really high mechanical ceiling many more mechanics, and ever sprinting enemies.

[Blumpkin Catcher]

KF2 took my attention away from the OG for some time but when they introduced robots that pretty much ruined it for me and now I'm glad to be back "lovely big guns".

Survival horror vibe is where it's at.

KF1 has vastly superior mod support, better atmosphere, better ammo economy, welding doors is relevant because enemies can't just teleport past them, doesn't have the anti-fun damage resistances, demolitionist that doesn't suck, and no microtransactions. I quit KF2 before they added the robots that everyone hates but they don't exist in KF1.
