Whats the consensus on Killing Floor?
Click to expand...

I do not regret buying it in the slightest, i have clocked up over 24 hours of gaming time over the past couple of weeks of owning it, make of that what you will. The perk levelling system makes the game highly addictive as well as unlocking the achievements, on the easy setting the game is a breeze, however on normal it is much harder and requires teamwork.

I have never played L4D games so cannot compare.
 
They are 2 different games, both are fantastic.

L4D has a goal, get to the safe room (co-op). There are other modes too like VS, Survival, etc. Its a bigger game that came out with a bigger price tag.

Killing Floor has a high score system more then a goal system. Kill as many things as you can and survive to the last wave. And thats it, its the whole game. But its cheap, fun, and looks great!
 
Killing Floor is great, and it has a Resident Evil kind of atmosphere. The perk leveling is a little annoying, though.

My Games:
The Orange Box
Civilization IV: Complete
Killing Floor

I'd suggest waiting for Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2, personally.

Metacritic scores for KF are even less worthwhile than other games. Its changed so much since release much of the criticism is moot.

Firstly its been completely redone to have an easier, less U2004 palette swap GUI. It has more variety in maps, enemies, weapons and perks etc.

Plays nothing like L4D so I'd say just watch a load of gameplay visa and see if its your thing or not.
 
I have a bunch of little kid games for os 9 from when I was young but I dont have any other mac games. but i do play crysis, crysis wars, and crysis warhead in bootcamp. i mostly game on my 360 tho.
 
I have those for OS X:

Mignight Mansion
Eschalon: Book I
Eschalon: Book II
Unreal Tournament 2004
Return To Castle Wolfenstein
Doom 3
Civilization IV
Civilization IV: Warlords
Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos
Warcraft III: Frozen Throne
Diablo II
Clive Barker's Undying
Alice
Shredder Chess
The Orange Box
Killing Floor

And probably a few others that I've forgotten. I usually use my Xbox 360 for playing games.
 
Civ 4 + Warlords (sadly the retail versions. I want to download BTS on Steam :()
LucasArts pack
Spore
Portal

Oolite :)

That's it for now, apart from the PC version of MoOII which runs in Parallels on Windows 98 :D

It's just okay, but it's no L4D. L4D is brilliant.

It's from Valve. I noticed from the start how much it feels like Half Life 2 which I love to pieces. :) I play it coop on my 360.

1. WoW
2. HL2

Although I have played a long long string of Mac games since 1993, I currently have 2 Mac games installed- WoW, which I no longer play and is no longer updated and HL2 which I just downloaded to see how it works on my MBP. Starting up HL2 I am once again amazed at the brilliance of this game. If you are a Mac gamer who has not played HL2 I highly recommend the solo story. I'd also recommend the original HL (ideally it would be played first) but that is not available for the Mac. I don't know if it will be converted or not.

For your reference, HL2 is a continuation of the original HL story. In the original, you played Gordon Freeman a scientist at the Black Mesa Research facility that gets over run with aliens when a portal is accidentally opened up. Your goal becomes to escape the facility through tunnels, ducts, sewers, and vast underground and above ground facilities. It is a grand adventure and a feast for the eyes! At the end of HL, the invasion is not resolved and when I started HL2, I was floored at what had happened. Spoiler: Earth was defeated by the aliens and you are now part of the resistance! :End Spoiler.

Regarding Mac Steam, I did not have enough space to install anything in my Documents folder as Mac Steam insists, so I used a symbolic link to put Steam content on my external drive. There is now a MaRumors Guide that shows you how to do this.
