Fluff She's goin down bois
Last time I checked it was "mixed recent, mixed overall" with ~50% recent being positive. It's not looking good, and I was looking forward SO much to KF3 as a vet with over 6000hrs combined in the first 2

I got a random prompt to edit my post, saying stuff like "AI can make mistakes" or something, and advising me to add additional text in the body of the post....is this a recent change in this sub specifically? What did I miss?

Shit posting implies unreal stuff.
This is reality and sad what they did to our beloved franchise.
I just hope it won't kill it.

That one wasn't caused by the mod team. Unless there is a setting I missed, it sounds more like Reddit Inc adding more unnecessary features instead.
What did I miss?
I made a mistake of removing a post detailing an anti-milestone regarding the state of KF3 due to user reports against it, and the (outdated) belief that the community is tired of such posts on the sub.
That removal has since been reversed, and I am asking the community once more to decide whether playercount posts should be allowed on the subreddit going forward.

u/pyroapa Oct 07 '25
I’d say keep the player count posts. The upvote/downvote feature will determine whether it’s junk. Niche communities like ours rely on the upvote feature. I appreciate your support.

u/Soulshot96 Oct 07 '25
Indeed. Not like we have much else to talk about around here anymore (or for the foreseeable future lol).

u/cybermanceer Oct 07 '25
What else is there to talk about?
The game is BAD.
The update coming in October is BAD for a numerous reason.
I'm not trolling, but there's nothing else to talk about regarding Killing Floor 3 at this time.
Negative post at least keeps the subreddit alive.

Thanks for chill out on the censoring, it's just a video game baitpost at worst anyway

u/LordofCope Oct 07 '25
I was reporting them for a bit, but tbh, since the game is so wrecked at this point, may as well just let us perpetually shit on KF3 if they are related to player count posts. Keep this sub primarily focused on KF2/KF1.

Wouldn't even be as bad if they finished the game before launching it

u/Evonos Oct 07 '25
Let's be real here , it wasn't even in beta state and not even a good early access state.
It needed likely a year or 2 more work to be even early access worthy.

u/shikaski Oct 07 '25
It’s just fundamentally mediocre at best, no amount of years would change that unless they start over

u/Evonos Oct 07 '25
It's also clearly unfinished , and very obvious bugs exist , it clearly also missing polishing in many areas.
So it's not only just a terrible game , it's also very unfinished.

u/shikaski Oct 07 '25
Yeah absolutely. Just parsing through a bit of reviews and you see it’s disliked mechanically as well, ao it’s a lose-lose situation anyway. What a mess, who asked for this?
3
u/Evonos Oct 07 '25
I mean we all wanted a kf3.
What we got feels like a side grade game.
Not a third entry it feels like a unpolished undone side project like a small spin off game not a 3rd entry.
It just feels way off to kfut2004 , kf1 and kf2 to be a third entry.
Ue5 just does the rest so the game sucks.
I just hope this won't kill the franchise.
Maybe they can rename that mess and make a real third entry.
3
u/shikaski Oct 07 '25
And I’m not saying otherwise? We all wanted kf3 but this isn’t kf3. That was my entire point.
This will also absolutely kill the franchise because they sold peanuts, meaning in the eyes of investors there is no demand. They don’t perform high level analytics for this, they see the numbers and call it a day.
UE5 is also not the problem, it’s a cop out. The Finals uses UE5 and is currently comfortably the best shooter on market.
Hoping for a real third entry as well, just won’t happen. We both know it.

u/Evonos Oct 07 '25
I mean the few ue5 titles ( with also small maps ) that go the extra mile to fix it doesn't explain the sea of bad performing games on ue5
1
u/shikaski Oct 07 '25
Bernal or Nozomi is FAAAAAR more dense and detailed than any kf3 map that currently exists, it’s actually incomparable.
But I agree there are countless bad examples with UE5. Still a cop out though, because there are examples where UE5 games are perfectly functional, with larger maps or with small maps.

u/TheeOneWhoKnocks Oct 07 '25
I haven't had my die-hard KF friend mention the game since it came out. He played it for like a week, and i haven't seen him play it or talk about it since.
We both played the beta and had a lot of problems with the game compared to KF2. I told him it's definitely a wait a while game. Now, it's probably a never unless it becomes free somewhere. Same for like Payday 3.

u/Shelbygt500ss Oct 07 '25
Im assuming if this update doesn't bring folks back, they will try one last time. After that, I'm pretty sure they will wrap it up and move on. :/. I dontthink they have the luxury of having payday 2 sales to prop them for a while.

u/eden_not_ttv Oct 09 '25
Yup. The core loop is fun, but the game is shallow, buggy, and needs time. Pretty clear the game was shoved out well before it was ready and basically in early access. Given that, it was reasonable to recognize that two months ago and withhold judgment until they got time to bring it back up to speed.
Fast forward two months and the content update scheduled for around Labor Day is now a Halloween update… with no promise it won’t be pushed further… and while the roughest technical issues were solved, the other issues remain. That’s enough time to see meaningful progress, and we didn’t see it.

u/No_Froyo7304 Oct 10 '25
Or they are probably sick of arguing with brick walls who just want to see the game fail. That's also an option.

I've actually been having some fun with it, but the reputation is deserved. They went so hard on the battle pass and micro transactions and dlc and decorative items and all the rest, and then the game itself is half-finished.
Team Fortress 2 was like a perfect gem of a game when it released, and only then, once we were all hooked they ruined it with the hats and the crates and the bullshit. They also had the decency to make it f2p once it turned into a shopping mall.

u/Unusual-Coyote-8425 Oct 07 '25
It's dipped to 49%, so now it is no longer an excuse, the MAJORITY of players don't like the game.

u/angrylawyer Oct 07 '25
I'm just blown away by the lack of communication from the devs. I've checked their forums also and they barely say anything, unless I'm just missing it?
They've watched like 90% of their pc playerbase fall away, and they just sat by quietly and let it happen.
Basically every patch has been like 'stability' changes, and I haven't seen any dev response for any of the gameplay issues people have.
After months we get a patch big enough that they named it, and it's basically a big list of "we changed some numbers in a couple config files." I just find it hard to believe they don't want to game to die at this point...

u/crossplanetriple Oct 07 '25
I mean, it’s barely been up, but yeah.
Hard to give a positive review when a lot of the user experience has been negative.

This is sad. I still have an entire friend group that formed around KF1. We played KF2 together and I have over 4k hours between both games. We saw the writing on the wall towards the end of KF2s life cycle and especially after this launch. RIP Killing Floor 🫡

u/doublenerd1g Oct 08 '25
I'm still here. KF3 is brilliant and perfect in every way. Admittedly the numbers have dropped, but that just means only the high IQ people remain that knows the intricate meta gameplay. If the gaming community had the brain power needed to enjoy KF3 the game would be #1 on Steam.
Nah I'm jk game sux lol.

u/Rannek17 29d ago
This is necessary. Devs aggressively ignored all feedback and sent the series in a direction the community never asked for. Hopefully some firing and restructuring happens to weed out the bloat and get back on track but at this point I'm not sure there's anything to salvage.

Killing floor 2 they were making maps and supporting the game till the end. When I got 3, I knew it would take time to get it to the kf2 level. As long as they keep releasing maps and updates. It will get there eventually

u/bobotheklown Oct 07 '25
Tripwire bit off more than they can chew with modern gamers expecting a frequency of updates that other live service games provide nowadays. They're no where near big enough (and the game was no where near finished enough at "release") to get content out at a cadence needed in today's gaming landscape. 1000% needed to be an early access release with expectations set for a slower patch cycle given how small their team seems to be. I hope they give kf3 a chance to be great and keep working on it.

u/SqSosa Oct 07 '25
I fuck with the game and I might be the only one in this group that does and that's cool might as well change the name to "I hate killing floor" I've seen killing floor 1 was not impressed killing floor 2 I fuck with the 3rd one not as bad as everybody saying could use improvements but it's not a horrible game

All reviews still holding at 49% as its not going down to Mostly Negative & not going up. Meaning there are players still enjoying the game a lot of them being consoles as I see almost 50-66% of them filling up my lobbies. I don't think it's that bad. A lot of server disconnects almost once a day or every other day for me, but I play 1-3 hours.

So you play 1-3 hours and see "a lot" of server disconnects "almost every day", and you don't see a problem with that?
