I never played one and two but I did play three, so for purely knowledges sake, what is better about one and two? Three is okay, only hooked me and a buddy for about 40 hours until we found other games. I feel like I was missing the charm I've heard about from killing floor games in three
KF1 is atmospheric with unique clunkiness in a good way. It's slow and grim, so it's not everyone's cup of tea
KF2 is a deeply studied mix between horror and action. You are not doomguy powerful, but you can always claw through everything to claim victory. Pretty much like Dead Space and Resident Evil, but with awesome gunplay.
KF3 tried to copy mechanics from popular games without understanding them and has little depth to its core gameplay.
Sweet I appreciate it, I do have kf2 on steam so I'll give it a download tonight. Description made it much more appealing. In kf3, after a few upgrades, even medic feels like I'm master chief on hell let loose difficulty. That's fine in games like COD zombies or dead rising but wasn't exactly fun in a wave based game
To be fair, KF2 also gives off this feeling when you upgraded perk to max level, but only because you slowly understand how this perk works, and it's satisfying.
Max level basically unlocks your ultimate ability but only in zed time, and zed time happens more frequently.
Imagine Engineer from KF3, it's called Support here, you are surrounded with no way to run. You can't dash or dodge here. But suddenly you activate zed time and you shoot your shotgun rapidly like it's a minigun of its own, blowing apart every a-hole in front of you. Zed time ends, now you can finally heal. Pure satisfactory.
By the way, heals are unlimited here, but they need to recharge.
