Can't wait for this one to die, too!

Played tons of Culling, it's pretty fun. I'm interested in the 2nd game but not optimistic.

I completely forgot that The Culling was a thing. Shows how much of an impact it left.

The culling during release and the first few months were the most fun i had in any video game. Yeah there were some issues that could been fixed and have been fixed but the problem was when they fixed those they broke other things. This cycle repeated many times until nothing but a empty shell of a game no one played was left.

Breaking: The Culling 2 will have battle royale

I'd love to see The Culling return with proper combat cycle balance. It had so many good ideas that were executed fairly well for a while.

This uhh, isn't going to go over well Seriously, just make an entirely new game, holy fuck lmao.

What are you on about, pretty much zero similarities. https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/237269/d9e590a5-55d9-42e5-a0a4-80a32e2345c1/image.png https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/237269/c3e87ed3-fe91-4052-a7ca-f9f4fbb4a631/image.png https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/237269/a47aa2f4-b31c-4c5b-9c77-1a6d3a0ccb53/image.png

I mean, the culling pretty much was battle royale.

I think that's the joke

Well I mean, the devs showed that they were fucking braindead, why would the old players even care? Like legit, the changes they kept making were hilariously bad and they did it for no fucking reason

Well actually the reason was that they entertained every suggestion made ever so it just ended up the game being unbalanced in one area but then nerfed and the cycle repeats with a different area/same area. This video goes over the first game's shortcomings https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8LFkAkDLyQ

It was quite a unique Battle Royale mainly due to its focus on Melee, if you think about it we don't have many BRs that focus on melee besides early game. I'm sure they're gonna fuck this up somehow.

Eh, figures. Probably go EA and the- >Notably, The Culling 2 will not launch in Early Access -- it's out tomorrow on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Not even trying to hide it, are you?

the coolest part about the culling was having the scoreboard in the sky, so if you wanted to see how you were doing you had to make yourself vulnerable by staring straight up

Why.

The reviews are in, and it is bad. All Reviews: Very Negative SteamDB Rating: 23.81%

Watched a streamer play it earlier. As expected, it's absolute garbage.

It looks like a PS2 version of H1Z1

So instead of making something that was strong with their initial concept and community, like the smaller playing field and melee focus, they literally just copied PUBG-but-with-50-players and expect people to hop on it, what the hell were they thinking? It even looks worse graphically compared to the first game.

Everyone wants a piece of that Fortnite and PUBG pie. Battle Royale is the super hero movies of gaming right now, and it's getting fuckin' old fast

They literally cut everything I liked about the first Culling (And everything which made it stand out compared to other games of the genre), in order to make a somewhat cheaper-looking PUBG (Considering that PUBG already looks cheap and unpolished, this is an achievement i'd say).
