Addresses and passwords please! :D I has only 2 more days..


edit... actually, nvrmnd on those addresses. I cant get the game to run for more than one map, even after trying all of the fixes in the support section. I'm not trying to bash TWI at all, but I didnt expect such a problem from one of their games. Beyond not really being able to play the game, it's a simple yet mindlessly fun one dimensional button masher that even on hard servers didnt really get difficult until the patriarch showed up. When he arrives, usually one teammember will die, and then he'll be showered in grenade launchers and be kaput in seconds. Maybe suicide difficulty is the way to go. It seems everyone knows the 'spot' on all of the maps to hunker down in where they will be the safest, and then its just head shot and grenade launcher spam until the daddy comes. Not what I would call deep gameplay. In its current form, I'd pay maybe 5 bucks for it and hope one day I could play two maps in a row without rebooting. 20 dollars? No way.

It's how you put it ("BORING, BORING, BORING") that's wrong. If you make a stupid post like that, don't be surprised if people think you're stupid and aren't taking you seriously.

Ok then what am i supposed to write if i dislike KF because i got bored with it inside 10 hours.I and i Repeat I find it boring.Which i have said all through this thread.
But then i'm an arsehole.

Now, I know I am derailing the thread, but he said you SOUNDED like an arsehole, not that you ARE an Arsehole. Call me pedantic, but that makes you a fart. Or bottom-belch, if you prefer. But I am mostly talking utter drivel here. Which isn't unusual for me...

And I think it would be more sensible to say that telling a bunch of rabid KF fans that their fave game is "boring" is rather asking for a few of them to light up the flamethrowers :) Mind you, I haven't been paying attention... so don't ask me! I just work here...

So now, we have flamethrowers, arseholes and farts. Perhaps not a great combo.

I suggest everyone ignores this post.

Was looking for these numbers back on my post on the first page and randomly stumbled across this today.

Feb 07 (about a year after RO's release)

Game differences aside, no surprise KF is selling faster

Oh sorry mate.
I hadn't realised that i wasn't allowed to say i thought a game was boring in the general game section on this forum.:confused:I suppose if i had said it in the KF section then i could understand the anger.
I also said i have got bored with L4D.BUT no one seems to have got the arse over that do they.
So perhaps people should lighten up a little.

Oh and i see the numbers for KF are dropping again as people get bored with it(down about 2000 since last week).Less people are playing it now than are playing L4D (the first one).


Stands back and ducks:p

Keep in mind several Million people own L4D on the PC. By comparison KF has a much larger attach rate of people still playing it :)

I am an arsehole

Then why do you post here? :p

i mean, you have the right to post hateful messages about KF and we have the right to ra** you with a log because of it.
except we also do other things here whereas you seem to just be trolling.

so why even come here? you're picking a fight you have no chance of winning. and you ARE picking it, everytime you reply in this thread

Now lets see.
I posted about how i was bored with KF (in a general gaming forum) and i am now told its hateful?

Maybe you should all jump on this guy then

I played this game for like six months about a year after it came out. The biggest problem was that it was ****ing BORING.
From another thread about a different game in this section.Yet i see no posts saying he is posting like an arsehole.Funny that i say its boring without the ****ing in front and i'm saying hateful things.
Lets have some consistency guys.

This all started with me saying that maybe lots of RO players like me had got KF and then got bored with it.Yet i was told to play it for longer and maybe try it on suicidal.Yawn.

yet everyone seems to ignore that i am posting in a general gaming section(which has
Gaming Discuss Other Games And Mods Here
in its section title).

So as i see it I am allowed to post about any games i like, or dislike and shock horror even say I find them boring if i like.Just because some think KF is the best thing since sliced bread then i see no reason why i should not post what the f*** i like about it.
And i keep posting in this thread as i haven't had one good reason why i shouldn't post here or one good reason why i posted like an arsehole.

so gautrek, we all can see you are from the UK.......however you appear to have no friends here, so why do you keep calling everyone mate? nobody here is your mate ;)

if you're that bored with video games, maybe a woman could fill that void in your life......perhaps a man if that's more to your liking.

Can we keep this sort of bollocks to the KF forums please.

This used to be a nice place.

Just to end the story, TWI sales are more than respectable for a small independent developer.

The End.

sorry to nitpick but it's not in the KF forums....it's the general "off topic" section of the TW forums. KF is just a section like the RO sections and this off topic section. he has all the right in the world to make his thread regardless of how pointless it is.

it's still a very friendly place. every once in a while you get some douches but they go away eventually.

Has the the whole world gone crazy now?
A while back he came out and said in a very insulting manner that he didn't like KF. We noticed his opinion, accepted it and merely told him that we disagree and that he came off like an *** stating it that way. Not or stating it! For stating it that way.

Ever since then, when we already had moved on and forgotten about this stupid incident, he pops up from time to time to tell us how he has every right to complain about the game because it's this or that section.
We know! Had did have the right to state his opinion of KF and that's what he did! Anyone notice him getting banned for it? Yeah, me neither. We noted it and moved on. What else does he want?

Now he's fighting a battle against windmills saying how it wouldn't be right for him to get flamed for having a negative opinion of KF. Well, it wouldn't be right - and he effin' isn't!
If people are annoyed at him now it isn't because he is apprantly bored by KF but because of his behavior in here. Back then and especially now.

There is no need for someone to take his side now because no one is fighting him except he himself! No one cares about this anymore except him. So can we finally put this to rest?

KF hasn't sold quite as much as RO yet, but it's selling a lot faster. There. That's the answer that was requested, that's the answer we got. Can be lay this topic to rest now, fully noting and accepting gautrek's opinion of KF, of course? Everyone happy with that?
