      Well it just looks like another graphical/animation pass over the same game from KF1.
      I was super jazzed about KF2 because it was more of the KF1 goodness I loved (and I was able to ignore the real money store which was the first thing they got working properly). And still only cosmetics for sale.
      Then in time I discovered it was ONLY more KF1 goodness and the Real Money Weapons came fast and furious.
      They have hurdles to clear to get me back, and even then they have a history of just quietly removing said hurdles so they can sprint flat out.
      And one of those hurdles is not "Oooo pretty graphics."

      I'm not gonna hold the CEO they had to force out against them, though I haven't forgotten about it.

        I will have a lot to say about what's going on with KF3 soon. Sneak peak: This time it's far more than just more KF1 and KF2. Big changes that will make for a better game.

          I will cross one finger. It's a complex surgery that will require a long recovery period.
