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.
You can always refund it. Even if you’ve gone over the 2 hours for an auto-accept refund, if you explain the issues in the ticket Steam will always accept it in my experience.
Even got a refund for a game after 20 hours of game time due to them adding aggressive client-side anti-cheat.
I used to be into KF1 because all the ads, trailers, etc were always so fun to watch. Became a lot more boring in KF2 and the game itself kinda felt that way too.
I tried liking KF2 but it just lacks the crispness and the atmosphere of KF1. I also missed the shop lady with her opening shop in the weirdest locations in between rounds. So yeah, KF2 lacks charm IMO and I still like KF1 more even on its aging UE2.5 engine. I don’t think KF3 will find my interest, with all the multiplayer games going “live service” and all.
I am a fan ever since KF was a mode of UT2004. I played KF1 a hella lot. This game has a really atmosphere that I can’t really explain. I have less than 1h play time on KF2…
I’m glad I’m not the only one who felt like this. I kept thinking maybe I just wasn’t giving it a fair chance but I loved KF1 and was immediately put off by KF2.
I felt the same way about Red Orchestra 2 to a much lesser extent. I was super hyped about Tripwire overall at the time and thought it was awesome a mod team was getting funding to make the full-scale games they wanted, and they basically just immediately lost all momentum after that.
Meanwhile, I find even the "smaller" XBox controllers to be utterly unusable and have/had no troubles at all with the PS3 controller. Would be nice if there were more options for each console so that both you and I could be satisfied, but sadly that is not how it's done.
Yeah, that would be nice. I know people who lament the loss of the original Xbox Duke controller, and that the only thing closer was the similarly jumbo Dreamcast controller.
Could even unbundle them from the consoles, and just pick the size when you buy them. If they can make them in Hello Kitty pink, or endless CoD camouflage colours, then I’m not convinced it’s uneconomical to provide different size grips.
I really like the ps5 controller. It’s comfortable, and the haptic feedback on the shoulder buttons is a really cool feature imo. The resistance is variable on the shoulder buttons so depending on what you’re doing in game, it can be harder or easier to depress the button. I thought that was cool.
My issue with it is that the trigger buttons quickly got a bit mushy and loose. Didn’t help to play a ton of Rocket League on it but still it’s not a very durable controller.
Also, the battery was completely fucked up by the fact that I was playing it wired on PC. It was all the time charging when I was playing and then apparently discharging when the computer was off. Support is also pretty poor on PC and you often get games that are not compatible.
I’m interested in replacing it eventually by a good hall effect third party controller. Probably the Gamesir T4 Kaleid or something similar.
I’m still not 100% sold on the shoulder force feedback. Sometimes it works well, but many games do this odd thing where you hold it down and it clicks repeatedly and uncomfortably like you’re breaking it and I’ve no idea what they’re really trying to convey.
Przechwycić moment nieświadomego szukania dopaminy - w telefonie nie mam ikon social mediów na widoku, mam zamiast tego kilka forów (szmer ale także inne tematyczne ktore mnie interesują). To samo na desktopie, żadnych bookmarkow, musisz wpisać facebook.com ręcznie.
Ograniczyć bycie ściąganym przez znajomych na te media - wiadomo - dostajesz wiadomość na Messenger, i potem wciąga cię jakaś inba na feedzie - trzeba ich przekonać żeby pisali na innych komunikatorach (signal, względnie WhatsApp lub Telegram), lub dzwonić! I to jest niełatwe, generalnie nie odpisuje na bieżąco na FB itd, wchodzę tam raz na tydzień, i pisze tym osobom że jak napiszą przez inny komunikator to dostaną odpowiedzi od razu. Gorzej jest z grupowymi chatami/grupami - z nich niestety się wykluczam przez co czasem coś mnie ominie.
Ja przestałam odpisywać na fb, też mnie niestety czasem coś ominie ale większość już wie gdzie mnie znaleźć. Mamy też bardzo dobrze funkcjonujące grupy na innych komunikatorach.
The Ascent: Cyberpunk Action RPG, nice action and story, single/coop.
Star Valor: Top-Down Action space. not so much story wise, but great gameplay, costumisation, fleets, and the upcoming addon will add station building and (more) faction warfare.
Weird West: from the Arkane Austin crew (Prey 2016, Dishonored). Good story, immersive gameplay, and a innovative world. It’s 3rd person, but there is a mod which makes it 1st person!
Mortal Sin: Roguelike Melee-FPS. lots of fun, and the dev just replaced the level generation completely, adding verticality and much more variety.
Golden light: another Roguelike FPS, its on the weird side, but a lot to explore, had a lot of fun with that one!
Hardspace: Shipbreaker: scrapping spaceships in zero-g has never been more fun! good storyline highlighting the plight of workers in an inhumane system, and what they can do about it.
Red Faction: Guerilla: Older game, Open world is a bit bland, but the realtime destruction of large buildings with explosives will never get old
and if you haven’t played it yet: the System Shock Remake is an absolute joy to play.
My current FPS fix is Deadlink: another roguelike FPS, very tight gunplay and movement, good looking too.
if you can give a few examples what games you enjoyed, i can probably point you in the right direction… i think i have a slight game collecting problem with a few thousand titles, but at least i can help people like you out lol
I really enjoy The Ascent. It’s got a great setting, the gameplay is pretty fun, there are various play styles and builds you can spec into.
The only issue is that the devs seem to be done working on the game, and there are issues. Namely, the last mission of the DLC being bugged so you can’t officially complete it. And it’s been like that for two years at least.
I can second all of these. Generation zero is the only one I didn’t enjoy much but I suspect it’s a lot better with friends.
The rest are fab, I’m currently playing Kena it’s like Pixar/ Disney meets dark souls. Beautiful game, has these little critters which follow you around called rot who are super cute and you can put hats on them.
Control is just excellent. The combat feels great and for me the whole game was worth playing just for the Ashtray maze sequence.
Ditto. I don’t ever replay single player games, but I’ve played Control 3 times and this post makes me want to start again! It and the DLC are all atmospheric gold
Oh god not Outward. After trying it recently I’m honestly kinda shocked that it’s being played at all. Me and my mate got the impression of playing through a 20 year old hobby game dev project at best.
It felt so very unpolished. Combat, UI, inventory management, dialogues, character creation, narrative, quest logs, crafting; it all feels ancient. Co-op especially - only the host progresses the story, gets quest rewards, and so on. A second player can kinda come along, but that’s it.
Don’t want to discredit old fans of the game ofc, but I honestly believe without a hefty dose of nostalgia you wont enjoy it. It would be like picking up Half-Life for the first time in 2024 and expecting a decent game.
I will admit that Outward is something of an acquired taste. It’s not a looker for sure, and starts a bit harsh, difficulty-wise. However it has surprising depth and a true sense of discovery. It is very rewarding once you really get into it.
Plus it really shines in co-op play. It is the closest thing I know of, that can be compared to “Skyrim, but co-op”.
I stand by my recommendation as it is very much a “B game” and pretty unique.
I would recommend Greedfall. It’s a solid AA open world rpg with combat that’s a bit janky and repetive but the story and sidequests kept me engaged all the way through.
I really liked Greedfall, but I didn’t finish the story. It felt like Dragon Age with guns, and it fits surprisingly well, especially with the rest of the world crafted around the game.
Sanctum 2 is a bit older, but it holds up as a solid FPS tower defense hybrid. It’s often on sale for around $4. The dlc is also well worth it, doubling the base game content.
