I don't get that feeling when I don't play it for a while and come back to it. I hardly feel anything when teammates die because I know I don't really need them unless I decide to fuck around instead of actually playing. Being the last man alive in KF is way more intense. You could have the fleshpound charging at you with his meatgrinder hands and nobody to get him off your back, or have the Scrake barreling toward you down a corridor without the ammo for the guns you need to take him down. All he needs to do is get close to you and bam, you lose. The team loses. That is heart pounding intensity because you know that that huge guy isn't fucking around and he wants you dead. Just because there are a few extra zombies on the map than what the counter tells you in NMRIH doesn't make it intense. It's easy to see the zombies coming. Then all you need to do is whack away with your melee, or shoot them for an even easier time. They're zombies. They're the easiest things to kill in the gaming world. In those situations you described, you already know your fate. For me, that's when I just go, "Ah shit. Oh well." In NMRIH, there's almost always a chance, unless there's 6 runners behind you and you have to take your pills, you can always intuitively come up with a way out. It's also not always just a few more in survival mode. There have been times, in Camp Blood especially, where I saw a fucking horde raining down on the only safe zone left, with no ammo. But it didn't feel futile to fight back, because I still had a chance. This is where a slightly easier difficulty actually adds tension, for me. Actually you DON'T know your fate in those situations. It's possible, if extremely difficult, to survive them. Trust me, I've done it and at the end my heart was pounding harder than a jackhammer. If I'd said "Oh well" and chosen to die then and there, we wouldn't have gone on to kick the rest of the game's ass. There's a chance in KF too, you just need to work your ass off to earn it and when you do you feel like such a badass. Very rarely have I felt any struggles on my part would be futile in KF.

It doesn't take much to kill a team, even a good one, in KF. One guy having a lapse in judgement could mean the end for everyone, no matter their levels. Those situations you listed are hardly difficult to deal with. It's not the time for a first aid kit, sure, but unless a zombie is 5 feet away or closer to you then he won't kill you because you decided to take pills. I will give you that sometimes there are lulls in NMRIH, but still, you never know when a runner will burst out and grab you, then, in your panic, three to four more zombies are all over you. You can still make it out of that situation, but now you are beaten, battered, and possibly infected. And that's just assuming a lame spread of zombies was spawned. As for KF, I don't quite like the reliance on teammates. I prefer to have my performance determine my fate, to a large extent. I love the reliance on teammates in KF. Not knowing if you can trust your squadmates to do what they need to do or have your back is a huge part of the tension. Just ask wakemeup (sorry for bringing that up again, Bro). And that reliance makes losing a teammate actually matter. In KF, with each player playing their own role, their loss is felt by the entire group. I love that. You feel like a part of a team with your own role to play and people depending on you to do it correctly. I guess we just have different tastes in this matter.

This is one of the very rare times that I'm actually fine with that conclusion. Huh.

It's good to finally see that this thread becomes active. Hooray for that! Sadly, I don't have time atm to write something big so I'll make it short. The reason I play NMRIH is not because I like the game. I think it sucks (F2P-Shit) and I would never play it alone or something. The reason I play this is because WE play it together which makes me happy so uhm, yea.... The thing with Killing, which I think is awesome, is the required team work! Everybody has his job (like Rock said) and you need to play as a team to win. If we would play on higher difficulties, even the Clots (yea the small ones) can almost one-shot you and nobody is allowed to make a mistake. For example, one man equals 30-40 Zeds. If he dies immediately, his team has to kill maybe 20 more Zeds, he looses money which brings the team to a bad place. Same thing is when people keep roaming around and die and your defense falls. So yea, just wanted to say something

Didn't read all this shit, so probably all points were arleady brought up. So I'll just say I like both games but prefer KF.

I'll be Doug. Worthless, and usually not around, but one of the best characters.
