Unbiased Killzone 2 Retail Impressions
In this day and age there are very few things worth noting. No one expects miracles anymore, only the normality we face each and every day. Well today, on this day, Killzone 2 has changed this, not just for me, but for everyone. Gamer, non-gamer, young and old Killzone 2 will leave an immense and earth shattering impact in it’s wake.
I can only think of three historical events that will forever be passed down through the generations. The creation of the universe, the evolution of mankind, and the release of Killzone 2. You will forever remember where you were this day and will share this moment with your children and grandchildren. There will be school textbooks and college courses that cover all aspects of this game. Today will become a holiday celebrated across the world. There is no going back folks, things have changed forever.
Let us not forget one other aspect of this truly historic event. The day it truly began for the Playstation 3. It is now the Bible of video games. To call it anything less than that is a disservice to both the Playstation and Killzone 2. The tides have turned my friends, make sure you are riding the right wave in.
These are my impressions based on playing through the first level and I may have a full review up someday. Though I’m not sure how I could possibly give this game a review score. Even a 10/10 would be an injustice to what this game truly represents.
Stay tuned to SDF for more information on this historic event.
OH thank you,thank you, thank you!
This is so much better then the last two post! I hate talking heads on YouTube.
“I can only think of three historical events that will forever be passed down through the generations. The creation of the universe, the evolution of mankind, and the release of Killzone 2.”
Damn pretty narrow in terms of knowledge and history.
Lets see whats more historical than KZ2 or any videogame for that matter-
1. Discovery of the New World
2. The signing of the Declaration of Independence.
3. Election of the first african-american president.
4. The attacks of Pearl Harbor and 9/11.
5. Assassinations of Lincoln and Kennedy.
This is just to name a few things that have shapped countries and changed peoples lives, a videogame in all general purposes is just entertainment. Damn get back to school.
LOLOLOLOLOLOL
As I went into further detail in the story just prior to this one: I’ve played the demo. This game sucks, like really bad. Its like an unplayable version of Resistance.
lol nice, I didn’t play the demo and I went to gamestop to get my copy this morning and been playing it all day and I have to say this is the nail in the coffin of Gaylo, This game destroys ALl other fps games out there! I only pplayed like5 hours into the campaign and played two games online but this crap is epic. How often have you played a demo and been disappointed but played the full game and liked it? Please don’t buy this game erik, cause you suck and I don’t want to ever hear your voice in my killzone server. But popping your head would be nice
Oh btw the online is 5 times better than cod
“How often have you played a demo and been disappointed but played the full game and liked it?”
Never. What a stupid question.
@erik
Actually thats not a stupid question at all. There has been a many of times that a demo has sucked, but the game is not shit.
Skate 2 has a horrible demo, you get to play around for maybe 5 minutes then it quits and you have to restart it. It never gave you enough time to play with the new mechanics that are introduced at all. I know that demo is a snippet of a game, but not barely giving a player enough time to try that snippet of gameplay is just shitty.
@erik
So you have played the demo for KZ2 and didn’t like it. Thats cool and I totally respect your opinion of the game and I disagree with your opinion of it as well. But I won’t tell you that you’re wrong about not liking it. Now you can talk shit about the game as much as you want, and I will take what you have to say about it to a certain point, untill you border on stupidity.
Yea, I have decided not to pick this game up until it drops in price. Killzone 2 should have been much more then what it is… considering its the “holy grail” of the PlayStation. Instead of picking up this title I decided to get Noby Noby boy. Which the sad truth about that game is its more revolutionary, and has a higher amount of replay-ability/longevity then the campaign of resistance 2.
Now for the online play… I don’t know if i will ever buy a game for the PS3 just for the online play. No matter how good the multiplayer is, there just isn’t enough people with mic’s on the PS3. And I still don’t see why sony didn’t bundle Killzone 2 with a mic… its retarded, its as if they really aren’t trying to compete with MS. Don’t get me wrong, im not an “xbot”, but when it comes to online play, I play for the competition/communication with your team. And from my experience the ps3 has a very very small amount of people with mic’s compared to its competition. Just going from 360 where a team will complain if 1 person doesn’t have there mic, to the ps3 where your lucky if 2 people on your team have a mic. The way I look at it, is if 32 people are playing a match… all 32 people should have a mic.
Not only that, but even if the multiplayer was 100x better then COD’s it still wouldn’t matter. It doesn’t have a large enough fan base. I wouldn’t be surprised if more people would be playing SFIV and RE5 then Killzone 2 in a few months.
It just caught my eye… but did Sony really have to add “stars” to there rating on the front cover? Wouldn’t “5 out of 5″ worked just nicely?
After doing a little bit of research, I would recommend anybody buying this game for the online play to WAIT. Apparently its very unbalanced/lagy, and there seems to be a big issue with the aiming in online play. If you want to read up on it yourself check out:

If the link doesn’t work, just check out the forums.
On top of that it appears there is no way to join friends… seriously, the more i read, the more I feel bad for anybody that picked up this game…
This is taken directly from a Killzone 2 forum post… so read it and weep
“Just about everyone in my clan is ready to take the game back because of it. Some guys are saying they’re not going to wait a month to learn how the game really plays. Other guys are frustrated with the mic system because we can’t communicate as a team. And others are frustrated that we don’t have a party system so we can all easily get on one side and play against other people. The end result is that no one is really happy with the game. I think it has a ton of potential but they messed up on some key points and most people aren’t going to give it a chance. Gamers are fickle and won’t sit around to wait for a Dev to figure out their own mistakes. They just move on to the next title or to the one they were playing before. I REALLY HOPE that Guerrilla fixes these issues ASAP.”
I wonder if anything in life impresses you guys, obviously no one is wasting too much time on here trying to convince you otherwise because there is no point, the game is flawless, I saw no lag, the voice com is fine, the mechanics of the online work…I will admit tho it took me an hour to get used to the “sluggish” control, but in the end it isn’t sluiggish it’s just more realistic so turn those sensitivity sliders back down and get used to it and quit crying or be like that clan Fiffer mentioned, take the game back we don’t want you. No joke, just take it back. Fanboys are trying so hard to make issues out of this game but I see no reason to, the game is a masterpiece.
to get an idea of how good this game is add every game on the 360 together and multiply it by millions and u almost have killzone 2
you forgot to add 12
Hey how did you like shogun Trivium
@kanerilis
KZ2 does have flaws (and potential flaws). I did play a few games that did have considerable lag to them, voice com works fine aslong there’s people with headsets (which isn’t many, thats not the games fault, more on sonys side of things), and it does have the potential at putting new players to the MP portion of the game at a SERIOUS DISADVANTAGE.
@InferredChimera
well Lag is a disease suffered by all games at some point, no need to witch burn, but what do you mean serious disadvantage? The maps I played were distinct and easy to learn, the way it shows you a cam of your spawn point before you spawn is brilliant, there are markers plain to see(yet admittedly not easy to find sometimes) but that attributes to the fact that the maps all have layers upon layers to explore and set traps. You were referring to the learning curve, correct?
@kanerilis
Not the learning curve, its the way you acquire the classes and what they entail. A beginning player gets shafted with ONLY the standard issue rifles for either the ISA or Hegs. Where a leveled up player can completely dominate over the beginners with the mixing of the different classes. So what that does is creates a potential unbalanced game to the point if you’re not with it since day 1, your pretty screwed. Unless you really want a challenge.
^^^ look at how COD4 does leveling up. You do gain new weapons and perks as you play, but even a expereinced player can get pwned by someone who hasen’t been playing as long.
yeah but they also have servers that don’t allow but pure classes AND beginning class only servers so your point is moot fella
@Kanerilis
No offense, but fanboys also over-hype a game, and call it “perfect” when it isn’t so. And to be honest I’m going to take the word of the people on the official forums of Killzone 2 then from a forum that is designed around being a fanboy. And right now there are hundreds of complaints about the online balance/gameplay of killzone 2, on there official forums (not to mention that many of these complaints are more then likely coming from sony fanboys) and elsewhere in the gaming community. So on a competitive level it appears right now killzone 2 has some major issues.
Also I don’t see how InfraredChimera’s point is “moot”. What is the point of giving a ranking system, and the ability to unlock new guns/classes if any competitive server has them locked? The whole point of gaining new “stuff” is to have a reward for your gameplay, and mix things up. But it really isn’t a reward if you cant use it on a competitive level.
Try dungeon party. It’s been in open beta since three days and it’s absolutely amazing. High level tactical gameplay, chilled out atmosphere and perfect game balance. This game is going to be my personal GOTY2k9.
It does a couple of things wrong (it’s beta after all) but it succeeds on key points: balance, addictive gameplay and nice graphics that don’t cripple your pc (think nintendo)
InfaredChimera
“Actually thats not a stupid question at all. There has been a many of times that a demo has sucked, but the game is not shit.”
I’ve never come across this. In every single situation I’ve come across the game and the demo were dead even in my enjoyment of them.
Kanerilis
“I wonder if anything in life impresses you guys”
Indeed there is a lot of stuff that impresses me. Bioshock still blows me away each time I play it. But this pile of horse shit is NOT impressive in the least. The only thing that impresses me is how well the company that made this game has managed to bullshit so many people into liking it.
This is a cookie-cutter FPS with sluggish controls where both the terrain and the enemies are all fucking gray. It looks bad, it plays bad, it IS bad.
To put into perspective just how bad this game is you have to take into account that the last demo I played was Mercenaries 2. That was was pretty damn bad. But still I’d rather play that load of shit for an hour than to play this game for one minute. I’m being dead serious here.
I don’t care if you take my word for it, the game is the best. Why do you think I am the only one out here defending it? Everyone else literally is playing this game. The fact that you don’t have anything better to do than get on this board and rant about how awful it is shows that you have nothing nothing nothing better to do. I liked mercs 1 & 2 eric.
and the only perspective you have is from under a mans sack
Kanerilis
I don’t have to take your word for it. I’ve played the fucking game remember? Your word means jack and shit in the face of my first hand experience.
Also you liking Mercenaries 2 isn’t surprising to me in the least.
Really there are so many better FPS out there. Half-Life 2 and Half-Life 2 episode 2, Bad Company, Bioshock, TF2, Left 4 Dead. Of of which I own. So there is no reason to lower my standards for this game.
But hey, maybe if one day it hits $4.99 at gamestop I might pick it up. I did buy Black that way afterall.
You don’t know games, this game is head over heels better than l4d or halflife, I have all of them and they don’t hold a candle. Bad company? lol dream on
@erik
Because Kanerilis liking Mercenaries 2 makes him less of a gamer? If he has found fun and enjoyment in that game, so be it, but to find fault in a persom for a game he/she happens to like is being a dick.
Get over yourself Kanerilis. This game offers up nothing other than high resolution, albiet ugly, graphics. Really though, have fun shooting at gray with sluggish controls.
I should have known that me punishing myself by playing that tripe wouldn’t shut you people up.
Bah, I already said I didn’t want you to play the game, I want you to sell your ps3. I want you to play any quar game you want to play. Get over yourself. You’re that guy that nothing is ever good enough for. Poser
and the control doesn’t lag it was designed to take a split second to move your arms to simulate realism get over yourself
Where did I say that nothing is ever good enough for me? There are many games taht I enjoy. I believe I only stated that this piece of shit isn’t good enough for me. But I would be amused for you to try and point out where I said that nothing was good enough for me. No really.
This is literally the second worst game I’ve played the last twelve months. I would like to say that it is the worst game. But even though it does suck hardcore it still isn’t as bad as Two Worlds.
your comments are being filtered out by my queer blocker
Kanerilis
You like this shit pile, so tell me why I should pay attention to a damn thing you say? Liking this game at all completely invalidates your opinion on all things.
So since the demo was not enough punishment for you shitheads I rented the fucking shit. STILL the game sucks completely and horribly. Its just so generic. Its like a watered down amalgamation of the most cliche parts of every FPS for the past decade. And its UGLY looking.
War is ugly you dummy, but no one TOLD you to go get it. You did because it’s awesome, yet either you won’t admit you like it, or you haven’t given your stubborn self enough time to get immersed in the game. Have you gotten to the train yet? Have you walked across a huge bridge yet? Have you gotten the lightning gun yet? Or the bolt gun for that matter?
How could the opening of the game not get you going?
The intro is playing right now as I type this, and I can’t keep my eyes off it
But I don’t know yet what that old man is so angry about
I rented the game because you shitheads can’t seem to get it through your heads that I don’t like this piece of crap. There was enough evidence that the game was shit before I played it. But that wasn’t good enough for any of you. I played the demo and I still didn’t like it and that wasn’t good enough for any of you. Now I rented the full version and it STILL SUCKS TREMENDOUSLY, and that STILL isn’t enough for you shitheads.
I’m not going to get immersed in the game. Its terrible. It plays like crap, everything is fucking gray, its generic as all hell, I hate the characters, I hate the story.
Furthermore the opening of the game didn’t get me going. Part way through the opening I went to get a drink. This game is not immersive, its barely playable. The amount of disgust I get playing it is even deeper than when I tried to play the original Halo.
THIS. GAME. IS. SHIT.
opinions are like assholes
So that makes you an opinion? Really, I can’t see why you can’t accept the fact that I don’t like this game. Its almost like you are in denial. I’ve come to accept that you have no taste and like this game, and I’m not out to change that opinion. The only thing I want to do at this point is to make people understand that I dislike this game. No amounts of opening sequences or electric guns are going to change my mind. I knew I was going to dislike the game before it came out, I disliked the demo, and I dislike the full version. There is really nowhere else any of you could go with this.
This game will be the final nail in the coffin of the PS3.
You’re a homo
And liking shit games makes one hetero I assume?
I love a great game, the millions that buy this game are with me, the masses have spoken, You can move to California(prolly live there already) so you can be different and have blackouts because power plants are bad for the environment. Cry somewhere else, go to an emo party, slit your wrist. I don’t care cause I enjoy this game. No you can not blow me
the egg obviously came first
Really you call this a great game? I can only assume that you have never played any other FPS. Otherwise you would see this for the generic, cliche, cookie-cutter piece of tripe that it is. It just may be worse than Resistance.
Not everyone is blind enough to follow the hype. But I can only assume that you are one of the folks who think that the PS3 is the best system because it costs the most money.
And furthermore there is no need to blow you. KZ2 is doing a fine enough job blowing all on its own.
Did the opening sequence really impress you? Really. That is so… amusing.
lol yeah I’ve played almost every fps game EVER, I was in clans in cod 1&2 I played come CAL matches, listen homo I’ve played almost every game IN THE US, which is a lot of games. So understand when I say this game makes all other fps games out there obsolete. It destroys all 3rd person’s as well. So swallow that load. Call of duty is sesame street and halo is the little mermaid compared to this. The only other game to come close may be Crysis, but situation wise and I have been thru most of the single player, it tops it all.
but now I can’t get away from the multiplayer. What is your psn so I can find you
if you even can afford a ps3
@kanerilis
KZ2 is a damn solid game, but it isn’t the best FPS ever. Too me the best FPS came out in recent years is Half-Life 2. So if all you can come up with is calling someone a “homo” with a opposing opinion, than good luck trying to convince someone to play the game.
@erik
I think you don’t need anyone to know your disdain for KZ2 (and the ps3 in general), that was already established a few stories back. But what I find funny is that you went out and (for all I know) rented the game. Now doesn’t that break all your “logical deduction, common sense, discernation” shit you always preach that you have?!? Because it does. So just like many months ago saying that you will never buy a ps3 (and did) and never said you will never play KZ2 (you downloaded and rented it) so doesn’t that go against all that you preach about? Sure it does, it once again shows that with enough pressure applied you can be coaxed into buying or renting something you don’t like, so basically you’re a follower with a blow horn.
Otherwise you do got my respect and whatever shit you talk about KZ2, is legit.
InfaredChimera
“Now doesn’t that break all your “logical deduction, common sense, discernation” shit you always preach that you have?!?”
Indeed it does. And if I respected the intelligence of the rest of you enough I wouldn’t have to go to the lengths that I did. But like when dealing with a small child sometimes even basic answers won’t work and you have to go with teaching through action.
Since it doesn’t seem like simple discernment here will be effective it seems that I will have to really really dumb things down.
Kanerilis
“So understand when I say this game makes all other fps games out there obsolete.”
That is patently one of the most retarded things I think I’ve ever heard anyone utter. And honestly the only way you could get me to buy that idiotic LIE is if I didn’t play the game. Really, go peddle your lies to someone who hasn’t played the game.
Furthermore Kanerilis my PSN name is moot. I don’t do multiplayer on games such as this. In games such as Call of Duty, Halo, Resistance, and this one where multiplayer is a tacked on extra I don’t bother. The only games I do the multiplayer on is those which were designed with multiplayer alone. Such as TF2, Left 4 Dead and a handful of MMOs.
his opinions aren’t homo, he is home
lol homo, furthermore I now know he plays WOW
Why is it imperative to you that I like this shit pile? I understand that you like the shit pile and frankly I don’t care if you do or not. What I can’t understand is your desire for me to like it. Really, why is it so important to you that I like this game?
@erik
“But like when dealing with a small child sometimes even basic answers won’t work and you have to go with teaching through action”
First of all, don’t talk about raising a child and having some idea on what its like, unless you have one than nevermind.
Also it seems that you have a “holier than thou” attitude. Wow, so you only play MP specific built games online, so fucking what, who are you trying to convince, you or me? So you use big words such as discernment and deduction, but you have proven that you don’t know what they all mean in the context of the matter and have been proven wrong on multible occasions by others and just not by I.
Furthermore whats your evidence that KZ2 is going to be the nail in the coffin for the PS3? You bring it up, but you don’t backup you argument. Basically you dig yourself a hole each time and get shot down almost every time. Then after that you go into “I told you so” mode like a small child even after you have been beaten down by logic and common sense.
InfaredChimera
“Also it seems that you have a “holier than thou” attitude.”
That seems to be pretty common around here.
“Wow, so you only play MP specific built games online, so fucking what, who are you trying to convince, you or me”
Work on your comprehension skills. I brought up that point because Kanerilis asked me for my PSN name, which I can only assume was to grief me. So I felt that it was only right to inform him that his attempt at multiplayer dick-waving contest wasn’t going to get him anywhere.
“So you use big words such as discernment and deduction, but you have proven that you don’t know what they all mean in the context of the matter and have been proven wrong on multible occasions by others and just not by I.”
No, those aren’t really big words. Furthermore I fail to see how my initial deduction was incorrect. Playing it had no effect on my opinion. Ergo I fail to see why I even played it in the first place.
“Furthermore whats your evidence that KZ2 is going to be the nail in the coffin for the PS3? You bring it up, but you don’t backup you argument. Basically you dig yourself a hole each time and get shot down almost every time.”
My evidence is that this game is the epitome of everything that is wrong with the PS3. Sony has shifted into this mode where useless features and other assorted shift has taken the center stage. And the gameplay that made the PS2 great has been put on the back burner. I don’t need a system that can play Blu-ray movies, surf the web, and all the other shit. I want one that plays fucking games. Its become about HD, and that disgusts me.
“Then after that you go into “I told you so” mode like a small child even after you have been beaten down by logic and common sense.”
Oh really? Once again I did prove you wrong in that playing the game was a worthless gesture. There was no possible way my opinion would have been changed by playing it.
I’m curious that if for even a second if you thought there was the slightest possibility that playing the game would have an impact on my opinion?
You do use big words for no reason…ahem…now back to enjoying my game
@erik
But when someones mind is already made up about something even before they even have tried it, chances are they will not like it at all.
Your initial deduction was proven incorrect by the reviews of the game when the scores came out. See this is what happened, KZ1 was mediocre, Guerilla games can’t make a good game, therefore KZ2 sucks. That was proven to be wrong in this case. Guerilla games (and not my opinion) have created a well received game, so therefore your “deduction” has been proven wrong to the mass audience. While you don’t like it, thats your opinion, but general consensus has been quite positive.
“My evidence is that this game is the epitome of everything that is wrong with the PS3.”
Always bringing up the bloated features argument to (your starting to sound like a broken record) the 360 can be also be that console if one wants it to be as well. Netflix, dvd, videomarketplace, music and other things (I don’t use either). So if you want to boil it down to the nitty gritty, they both do the same damned things anyway. You on the other hand choosed to waste your money on something that you knew that you wouldn’t like, and thats like me buying fish even though I don’t like fish. It doesn’t make a fucking lick of sense at all.
“Oh really? Once again I did prove you wrong in that playing the game was a worthless gesture. There was no possible way my opinion would have been changed by playing it.”
No, you didn’t prove me wrong at all once again. I said something on the lines of in a eariler article that, “your going to play it eventually, even though you hate it, you will either rent it or buy it” so all you did is humor me once again. So really you have nothing but proven me right, your a hypocrit, pure and simple.
Erik, out of this whole conversation the thing I found the most stupid was when you called Halo and CoD’s multiplayer a “tacked on feature.” OBVIOUSLY both were designed with a campaign and a multiplayer in mind from the start.
Well I don’t think he even has a ps3, his hatred boils over. Ergo my Eggo
InfaredChimera
“But when someones mind is already made up about something even before they even have tried it, chances are they will not like it at all.”
There you go then. So like I was saying before I harmed myself by playing that tripe: The game sucks, I don’t need to play it to know that it sucks.
Furthermore I don’t really give a fuck about you, Kanerilis, and the reviewers who have bought into the bullshit hype about this bloated dog turd of a game. You can all go fuck yourselves for all I care.
Kanerilis
“Well I don’t think he even has a ps3, his hatred boils over. Ergo my Eggo”
Uh-huh, whatever you think. You aren’t going to fool me into giving you my PSN name. It isn’t going to happen.
Furtheremore InfaredChimera, Halo, Halo 2, Halo 3, Resistance, Uncharted, Gears of War, Gears of War 2 also received good reviews from the reviewers. Guess what they all have in common? They all fucking SUCK. So I’m not going to put much stock, no scratch that, I’m not going to pay attention to the existence of reviewers.
TJR
They are tacked on. They are ALL tacked on. Every FPS with a single player campaign that hasn’t come out yet? They all WILL be tacked on.
I don’t want your psn, but I really don’t think you played the game. Or have a ps3. Or have a GF.
Okay I’ll humor you. How do you want me to prove I played this shit pile? I would think my pain would be sufficient evidence.
On the very first traincar on the train level there are 10 vertical bars on the railing.
Beat the game
take a picture of yourself with a cock in your mouth
show your mom
tell her I said hi
So in other words you don’t have any serious way for me to prove it? Therefore I win via your forfeit.
You know… I really hate to say that, but after Kanerilis I want to agree with erik. Now, I don’t own a Killzone 2 (or PS3, for that matter), but I can safely say, that I wouldn’t like this game under most circumstances. Reasons? Well, there’s two.
1) I prefer games with HUDs and more, than two colours, thank you.
2) Last good FPS I’ve played was NOLF2. Wait, there also was Bioshock… Well, no good ones in-between, still (sorry, Half-Life 2 wasn’t my cup of tea, although I do respect it)
See? Not that hard to deduct. Not only that, but Killzone two just sounds generic. KILLzone. Oh great, what next, Deatharea, Hackplatform, Gorebuckets? Cut me a break…
I won’t say that multiplayer is tacked on, since I haven’t played it. But I can safely say, that the PLOT was tacked on in the first one and seems so in the second.
Reviews don’t cut it either, nowadays. Big companies make big bucks with big advertisements, so they simply can’t grade it too low, in fear of them (remember Kane, Lynch and Gamespot? Right.). So you should go with the people. And a lot say, that multiplayer is laggy, controls are so-so, plot is borderline idiotic and the only good thing about it is the Hellghast leader (Hellghast? Really? Why not Badkillers, or something?).
And, erik… Cut it down a little? I know, fanboys are moronic, and even InfraRedHipocrisy is a little weird-acting, but you don’t get extra points for lowering down to their level.
By the way, am I the only one, who thinks, that the image in the post is fake? It looks, like it was just printed and stuck inside a generic transparent slim-dvd shell.
@Goronian
Until you play the game at least half way through, or play the multiplayer, u have no say in saying that it is a bad game. I understand you dont like Ps3,(just like i dont like 360), but even as a ps3 fan, I give props where its due for games like halo and gears. Dont be unfair. One thing that proves that you never played the game is that you think the game has only two colors. Explained that to the rest of the 1.1 million people in your country alone (europe or watever) that preordered this game. Give credit where its due, and once you finally PLAY the game then you can comment about
@erik
you dont have a ps3 and you wish you did otherwise, you would not be on this site 24/7
Ugh, this game is just completely awful. I mean a major character died and I just laughed. I mean generally a good game can make you feel for the characters. But really the character in question I always emptied a few rounds into during fire fights, just for the hell of it. Really everyone is so generic and boring. Even the totally silent Dr. Freeman in Half-Life has more personality than these blank slates.
And yes Kanerilis, I got the bolt gun and the electric gun. So fucking what?
This game has good graphics and that is it. Gameplay is decent, but the story is utterly lacking. This game does not have anything that has not been in recent, multi-platform games. This game is like the 19 year old you met in the bar, fucked once, and never called again.
@erik
Okay, we get it, you don’t like the fucking game, fine! But do we must hear your consistnat bitching about it!?!? If you don’t like it then don’t play it anymore, for fucks sake I don’t even get half way through a game(s) I don’t end up liking. Also if you couldn’t see that a major character dies, then really, where the fuck have you been in the action movie/game types?
@InfaredChimera
A few mistakes in what you said. Remember that comprehension thing that you have to work on?
First off, what I want is for people such as you and Kanerilis to understand that I don’t like the game. No I didn’t give a fuck about the opening scene, no it didn’t get me “going”. No I didn’t give a shit about the bolt or the electric gun. And to insinuate that I didn’t play it because that is the only option you can think of why I didn’t like this shit pile is BEYOND insulting. The game sucks STOP trying to make me feel otherwise.
Secondly I don’t really have a problem with major characters dying. Its when the story telling is so piss poor pathetic that you don’t give a damn when they do die that is the problem. A scene in the game which should have been dramatic was a source of much mirth for me.
I cant wait for your next comment ERIK you ps3 and killzone 2 lover like the rest of usss hahahaha
Also, you say “okay we get it you don’t like the game”. Couldn’t the inverse be true? What if I am sick of hearing how you like it? Perhaps we should all just stop posting then.
Infrared Chimera: Okay, we get it, you don’t like the fucking game
Erik: First off, what I want is for people such as you and Kanerilis to understand that I don’t like the game
Me: Lol
Are you really this fucking dumb erik? Also, all those games you call shit? General population would like to have a word with you.Have a nice day sir
This is all rather entertaining to read.
I WANT EVERYONE TO UNDERSTAND I HAITE THE GAME RAAAAGE
Alright, fuck dude, we get it!
NO YOU DONT RAAAAGGH
@erik
Damn is all I have to say. You can’t take anything for what its for can you? The story is basic meathead hollywood crap. You ain’t supposed to read into it, its like a summer blockbuster movie; just go along for the ride.
All I have ever said about it is that I like the game, thats it. Your the one going on a holy shit storm about it and bringing the topic up constantly. damn dude, your thick.
It took roughly 81 million USD, 4 years, and half of the Sony engineering team to produce Killzone 2 yet they have a game that is half as long as Gears of War 2(remember how Blu Ray was to give us longer and more involved games) with an online experience(despite having a beta out for a looooooong time) that is more broken then Gears 2 had when it released(it improved a lot with the title updates and another one is coming in about two weeks) AND which is selling worse then Gears of War 1 did at a userbase that was a third of that of the PS3 now.
Sony has released most of their heavy hitters, the games that would change the industry.
New franchises which would swing this gen in their direction or overly hyped sequels to past blockbusters.
They have all come and gone(except for God of War 3 and GT5) and nothing happened.
So after this, where can Sony go and what can they do at this point to stop the bleeding?
Um, OK, I rented the game and played through for three days (one full day of multiplayer). OK, the campaign is your basic FPS story (not much), no better than R2 (which wasn’t much anyway. Grade C for campaign. But who buys FPS’s just for campaign, but mostly mutliplayer. The maps are pretty good, and I do agree with a post above about being at a disadvantage at the start. You basically die a lot against other players unless you can steal a few kills and get lucky with others, and are able to level up. The mic situation does suck. As a 360 owner and getting a headset included with the system, this is much better than having to buy a stupid bluetooth headset. Grade B-. Hate to say it but this is not a 5/5 game, maybe 3.5/5. And is indeed a rental.

Ha, total failure in comprehension. InfaredChimera must be your adult literacy teacher I’m guessing?
Anyways your scenario is off. The more correct summary of the last days events would be more to the effect of:
Me: This game is terrible, but its not like I didn’t expect it.
You all: No you like it.
Me: No really. I don’t like it. The controls sucks, the story is idiotic, and I’m not going to be hypnotized by the “purtiful” graphics.
You all: No, you must not have played it, because you would like it.
Me: Listen shitheads, Do you want me to describe in intricate detail minuscule map elements to prove that I played this garbage heap?
You all: Well we know you didn’t play it… because you don’t like it.
Me: Fuck yourselves and die in a fire.

“Damn is all I have to say. You can’t take anything for what its for can you? The story is basic meathead hollywood crap. You ain’t supposed to read into it, its like a summer blockbuster movie; just go along for the ride.”
I don’t watch basic meathead Hollywood crap.
“All I have ever said about it is that I like the game, thats it. Your the one going on a holy shit storm about it and bringing the topic up constantly. damn dude, your thick.”
Okay, you like the game. WE GET IT.
Erik, you’re just a really delusional ass who can’t appreciate any games. You literally think that almost every game out there sucks. What’s your cup of tea? Lemme guess, Vampire Rain?
Just because I don’t like this shit pile you think I don’t like any games? That is really an idiotic thing to say. Akin to saying that if someone doesn’t like getting punched in the face then they must hate massages.
Games that I like that have come out in the last few years. Half-Life 2, Mass Effect, Bio Shock, Dead Rising, MGS4(though not as good as MGS3), GTA4, Team Fortress 2.
So don’t assume that because I don’t like one shitty game that I don’t like anything else.
The SDF Twatter post about KZ2 not having controller lag is darling, it really is. Please bear in mind SDF that some of us HAVE actually played the game. But the lag can be reduced with some tweaking of the controls. Stop pretending this game is perfect, or the “bible” of games. It is far from that.
This game fails in comparison to Team Fortress 2 multiplayer wise.I feel it in my Huevos
Don’t you guys get it? Erik, is part of this site. He keeps it alive. I didn’t even bother reading all the bullshit he says.
SDF = “erik”
@cold – Quit wasting your time talking to him and come kill some Helghast with me.
ha.
fools arguing,
how about we all agree to disagree!
yes?
So I see that Stickemup is just another fanboy who can’t take the fact, for some reason, that some people are going to play this game and dislike it despite all the hype. Does it really surprise you that some would be immune to the hype surrounding this game? Really?
Furthermore I find it hilarious that he attempted to be buddy buddy with me after I bought my PS3. As though I would become a brainwashed convert like InfaredChimera. Though I have to admit that was a primary motivator in buying a PS3. Though I do have to admit that that was one of my primary motivators in buying a PS3. SDF always seems to state that mere contact with a PS3 will be enough for 360 fans to “hang up their xcoats”.
This is, of course, total bunk. But InfaredChimera seemed to fall into that state regardless. So I was interested if SDF and he were actually on something, or if I could maintain my disdain for the system despite being exposed to its so called “superiority.”
I am pleased to announce though that my opinion has not changed regardless of my ownership of said system. Mostly I am here to disprove the theory by SDF that certain games such as this one can trigger a mass exodus from the 360 by merely playing said games. I’m here to disprove the exodus theory by showing that a 360 fan such as myself can face these games and not be impressed as SDF seems to think to be the case.
@erik
agreed
I too agree. I have a 60 GB POS3 with three games for it (LBP, Drakes and SW Force Unleashed – my son’s).
Other than that, it’s a movie player, nothing more. KZ2 was a rental, and a good thing.
On a side note, I am completely hooked on Halo Wars. Awesome RTS, FINALLY! Eat that POS3 SDF fantards! And it scored higher than KZ2-suck!
