The Culling 2 will be released on July 10th (PC, Xbox One, PS4)
- Thread starter abracadaver
- Start date
The first one was goofy and fun, but this genuinely looks even worse than the original. The visuals are immediately noticeable as maybe even worse than the first game, but what especially stands out as disappointing is how much personality the first game had with its crude hand-made weapons and lord of the flies jungle atmosphere and much Culling 2 just seems to be aping all the other Battle Royales.
I was actually looking forward to see how they'd make The Culling 2 unique in the crowded scene these days and I'm just not seeing it.

With the history of the developer and their last game (OG The Culling) I'd highly recommended not getting this at release at least, and to wait and see.
First game was just a paid concept test. I can guarantee that the development on the 2nd started way before the 1st was out of the EA.
I hate this trailer. Maybe the kids are into this kind of thing, what do I know.
Judging by what's presented on the store page, this game doesn't seem like it has much, if anything, to offer over other BR games.
The one thing I can tell differentiates is that it's 50 players compared to the usual 100.
And maybe its "irreverent" style? I don't know if that's just the trailer.
The game's out within minutes.
It's out.

What? That initial statement is supposed to be the cue for detailing what makes your thing different.

The BR thirst is real
I guess at least on consoles a lot of people will try this
I for one am waiting for Islands of Nyne releasing this thursday
The trailer is awful and shows nothing unique. They also dropped the first game. Why would anyone trust them enough to buy into this?
Honestly this seemns like the stupidest move.
Release it out of nowhere with absolutely zero hype
Charge 25$ for it
Looks a lot worse than the first one graphically
Doesn't seem to have a single thing making it stand out from other games in the genre
Their pathetic support of the first game doesn't help at all either. The fact that they are releasing it labeled as "full game"(LOL) instead of Early Access also tells me they are trying to wash their hands off properly supporting this too.
This thing's dead.

Less than 24 hours after launch:
30 players are needed to start a match as far as I know
How is it doing on consoles?

Damn shame but a terrible decision by the team. One of the most brutal launches I've seen in a while. If this had been F2P I think the reception would have been much more watered down - not sure it would have done great still but free on consoles could find an audience.
Just to be clear, the first was a Battle Royale already so they were on the train before it was a train
Holy shit. Going F2P in 3...2...1...Less than 24 hours after launch:

Steam reviews say this is not The Culling, but it sure looks like one!
Here's the gameplay behind that tweet. Game starts at 10:30. Round starts at 28:40.
I'm kind of curious what this game is actually like.
It's worse PUBG with no players.

I don't understand why you'd do this. The first game at least had a hook of its own that at least some players fondly remember. Guess it is just a blatant cash grab doomed to failure. Bonus points for also removing any positive feelings anybody had for the Culling brand.

This can't be real right? How did they seriously mess the water up that bad.
I don't know what the hell was on their minds to charge 25$ for this. After the pathetic support they gave to the first one, they'd be lucky to have people investing their time in a F2P game, much less paid.
yep. In which case it just means that they will abandon support again and claim that "it's finished "
So good to see the playerbase ignore it, I am proud that the gaming community is not showing any mercy to these scammers.
You release a buggy mess of a game, make millions, abandon the product. AND then attempt to do the same thing again...
It was initially out in 2016 in Early Access and "full release" in 2017. It was a BR game before the genre truly exploded. It was smaller and tighter game, with a focus in melee and limited range combat, with less players in a match, in a setup that very closely resembled the Hunger Games.
It was one of the most played games on Steam for a while, but the Devs started messing the game more and more with patches, completely ruining the balance and need fixing many of the issues people had with it. It continuously died and died and died even more, and then the devs released it out of early access pretty much as "lol we give up".
Now they release the second game out of nowhere, completely change what people liked about it and turn it into a PUBG clone, and think they can charge 25$ for it after the pathetic support they gAve the first one, and when you can just buy PUBG, a much better game, for a lower price.
