vermetide is more rpg oriented its better game overall...kf2 have charm.. in start gameplay is really fun at least to me its was been to lvl up each character...to learn wepons...here u have 2 type of skills good or bad...and that makes game boring after some time....

Vermintide has somewhere between 1k and 2k players. KF2 somewhere between 5k and 9k usually.

Both in coop and the player numbers show that stronger games don't necessarily find more players.

I<d say its two different game that are both solide. IMO I cant say neither is bether or not as they are too different. Both worth playing.

Have you trierd Parrying in Vermintide with a ping above 100? Impossible,
Have you tried Parrying in KF2 with a knife with the same ping? Success.

This makes KF2 better.

Vernintide is far more melee focused and progression based with abilities and RNG loot crate weapons & armor.

KF2 is more ranged focused and with more of an emphasis on survival and standing your ground with epic slow mo.

I have played both and Personally I prefer KF2 purely because I prefer the guns and ranged engagements and the more survival gameplay instead of the L4D progression style.

But you bet if a WH40K clone of KF2 came out where you are like a single squad of astartes or guardsmen (or even tau) fighting of hordes of orks or Tyranids or w.e. I would be over that in a heartbeat.
Deathwing doesn't count that game had so much potential and they c0cked it up :(

Yes. KF2 is more fun and less grindy.

I believe he means progression on the levels. In Vermintide just like in L4D your progression on the map is different from KF2 - you have to go from beginning to the end of the map and do different stuff such as destroying some things, defeating a boss etc. In KF2 as you know you just have to survive.

I believe you started this post due to the sales of Vermintide 2 and maybe you're thinking of buying it?.. At any case Vermi is a fun co-op game melee oriented (mostly) with an RPG system / character progression, where some grinding is required if you plan advancing to the hardest difficulty(-ies). The only common element of Vermi and KF, is that both games are co-op and that is not enough for a comparison to be made. Their playstyle is totally different and the atmosphere is absolutely dissimilar.

Vermintide 2 recently (yesteday) released their 2.0 patch where they reworked-changed a lot of mechanics the game had, leading to a different playstyle than it used to have. That caused lot of player's anger (a quite big amount) because they believe the game got harder in a bad way where more teamwork and extreme caution is required, which is unlikelly to happen in pub games.

With that said, I don't want to discourage you not buying the game (if that's what you planned) but be informed of what's going on, in Vermi's community. I'm pretty sure you can still have some fun by playing the game.

Cheers.

Vermintide has better RPG elements and more of a story. The melee combat is also way better in vermintide. Vermintide can be compared mostly to left 4 dead if you ever played that.

KF2 uses ranged weapons mostly with an economy system for getting better weapons. Zeds come in waves that increase in difficulty. The map has no progression like L4D or vermintide, it is more like a big sandbox where you have to survive in.

They're very different games in my opinion. I don't think you will be disappointed with either.

Although, there was a new patch for vermintide 2 (patch 2.0) that made the game worse in my opinion. I've played around 570 hours of vermintide 2 just for the devs to change or scrap almost everything for little reason. As a new player, you probably wouldn't notice anything, but I think the game isn't as enjoyable as it used to be. The combat feels much slower and the enemies are very spongy, removing things like breakpoints and grind for good equipment properties. With patch 1.6, it was fast paced and fluent like L4D2 which I enjoyed. The recent reviews for vermintide 2 dropped from a 70% mostly positive to a ~58% mixed rating in 2 days.

I got bored of Vermintide 2 a lot faster. I believe KF2 may have more maps, which is important, although I realize the games are very different.

[Artan]

No - but KF2 is very good and different yet similar. VT2 is better though.

KF2 has more players when not on sale.
