360 Fanboy Impressions on Killzone 2 Multiplayer

Hardcore Christian Gamer writes, "I picked up Killzone 2 last night at Walmart. I was the only person waiting for it, felt pretty dumb being "that guy" in my pajamas standing in an invisible line. After learning that my local Game Stop wasn't having a midnight launch due to no reservations. No reservations? Seriously? Not a really good start for the game that will save the world and put Sony back on top. I guess I live in an Xbox and Wii town."

[Jager]

Ah, the Christian gamer finally admits he is a 360 fanboy. Least he likes it tho :P

[kenjix]

I'm not reading the article or clicking the link but good catch

[na2ru1]

You are in no way, shape, or form a so called "Fanboy"
¬_¬

[Bubble Buddy]

360degrees: Yeah no one cares, go play Halo Wars when it comes out, have fun.

[Rob0g0rilla]

I didn't see that coming

/sarcasm

[Bathyj]

The fact you returned Heavanly Sword, shows what poor taste in gaming you have.

[sonarus]

Why do ppl always feel like gamers depend on their purchase. Return the game if you want. You CLEARLY aren't missing anything. I mean you got halo wars to tide you over till...till...Halo ODST perhaps

[themyk]

I would love to hear this idiot if this was a 360 exclusive. Not that I believe for one second that he even has a ps3. Nor do I believe for one second that he's even a gamer. By the way heavenly swords grafx beats every 360 exclusive. With amazing gameplay.

[ReTarDedFisHy]

He is SO obsessed with that phrase:
"In any way shape or form"

Honestly, go read his comments ahaha, it's like he throws it in to try and sound smart.

[Ju]

360dgr, ha ha, what a funny guy (or girl, you never know these days).

[nycredude]

Are you really that big of an idiot or do you just think everyone else is an idiot? Even if you absolutely hate the game, you still can deny the fact that technically and visually it is on par and better than many pc games, let alone console games!

You need either glasses or a shrink because your hate is really taking a life of its own.

[ps3d0]

Wait if this guy is a "Christian gamer" then how could he be a 360 fanboy. Isnt being a fanboy extremely anti christian ?

[WildWillyWilson]

360 degrees you really are a bit of a tit arent you? :-)
You just wouldnt get PS3 owners spouting crap like this, your comments are transparent and you seem so so insecure its untrue.
Killzone 2 isnt without flaws: yes your character seems somewhat vertically challenged and ok the story isnt deeply involving or strong like Half Life but its doesnt bloody well need to be! Its a frantic, chaotic shooter that makes you feel like your really in the middle of a war zone. The graphics are simply breathtaking and how you cannot admit to this says more about you than anything else. If this was a 360 exclusive you'd be wetting your power ranger pajamas! Isnt there some kind of counsellor who can help you through this period in your life? I feel for you...

[LONEWOLF231]

WHAT???
Are you serious 360degrees???
Who in their mind would want to return Heavenly Sword???
That game is Epic!

[Rock Bottom]

I wonder how Hardcore Christian Gamer is going to review God of War 3 when it comes out, you know, with boobs and everything.

[thereapersson]

And look, 10 little trolls came out of the woodwork after they detected his Killzone bashing and gave him 10 little agrees. How cute...

[edgeofblade]

360degrees' "big ol' Bowl of mediocrity" is how I see it, but I don't think I would be so harsh on the graphics. That's this game's biggest achievement... and I'm willing to let them have it...

The rest is a mess of awkward controls and same-old gameplay. But let them have the well deserved marks in the graphics department.

So, sorry, 360 degrees... that amounts to a big fat disagree.

[Ju]

Hey, btw, to spare others disappointment. The KZ2 demo is on the PSN since yesterday to try for everyone.

Man, the opening scene is epic! I just snooped thru a full map circle just to get a sneak peak. With bots because all the games were full. These guys are actually pretty smart. They flank you and work as a team - almost more then real players. You can't really tell they are bots...that alone makes it a game without end. But, well, its alright if some don't like it. Who really cares :)

[Shepherd 214]

Killzone 2 looks good, this guys seems like he know what he's talking about, but 360Degrees also has a point.

the single player doesnt really look like its amazing, just solid, while the graphics are the only reason this game is getting the amount of attention its gotten.

MP looks good though, but even if i had a PS3 i wouldnt choose it over the brutally sport-like competitive and vast customization of Halo 3's MP.

By the way, its really easy to make a game look like it has great graphics when most of the game is covered in black and gray, sorry to burst your bubble N4Sony.

[CrazedFiend]

It's ok 360degrees. I feel your pain. Just yesterday I bought Mario Kart...uh, no...an iPho...um, better yet, a Ferrari and HATED IT! I mean it drives like a tank, the steering doesn't work and I could barely get the thing up to do the speed limit! So I took it back well, yesterday.

EVERYBODY PLEASE DON'T BUY FERRARI'S!
THEY'RE MADE OF PLASTIC (>_<)!!!

Hope I helped you get your point across 360.

[Spydiggity]

thank you.

i know everyone here is givin you sh!t cuz you weren't blown away by this game. i'm not blown away at all! in fact, i beat the game just a few hours ago and the entire time i kept waiting for my mind to get blown and it never happened. the game is just average. it takes a lot of the winning formulas from other games like CoD and Halo (in fact there was a lvl in the 2nd half of the game that looked just like lvl 1 from halo 1) and it does a good job of putting them together. but even when things are going on that should be fun to experience, the controls ruin it. and the motion blur. if you try to spin around to shoot a guy behind you, you have to stop the spin before you can even see what you're shooting. and you often have to make several adjustments to zero in for a headshot. i don't know if it's the game or the ps3 controller, but it's brutal. and how this wasn't something that hurt the game's reviews detrimentally is beyond me. also, the graphics are not great. what is, is the lighting. and lighting can trick the eyes into thinking you're looking at better quality than you are. but when you look at a surface it's bland and blurry, not detailed.

so after i beat the single player i moved on to multiplayer thinking that would give me time to adjust to the lousy sensitivity but i still was playing like a noob. but the funny thing was, so was everyone else. it was like the game was putting us all on the same noob level. i don't have a mic for my ps3 yet, so i couldn't ask anyone else what they thought. but through my tv i heard a lot of complaining and a lot of 12 year olds trying to rap.

bottom line is, controls aside, this game is only good. it's not great, it's definitely not special. but when you factor in the controls, i'd like to get my money back.

i'm sure a lot of ppl will take what i've said personally and report me for spam or something ridiculous, but you should all know that i don't take it personally that you give this game WAY WAY too much credit. but i really think that if you played a few PC games, this game would simply be unbearable. and you can trash talk halo all day, but at least it's one of the few console FPS that actually gets controller sensitivity right. the graphics may not be great, but at least the controls don't detract from the experience. and i can't believe i'm going to say this, but i see no reason to play killzone if you own any of the call of duty's.

edit: i know i'll be called a 360 fanboy, but i actually hate microsoft and sony. and i think their consoles hold back the progress of gaming and the evolution of ideas that used to be what making the gaming industry such a unique element in the entertainment community.

[The gaming GOD]

A great game comes to a system, then fanboys of the opposite system say they have the game and "are not impressed" blah blah blah.

And the usual fans of said other system agree with their fellow fanboy. Knowing damn well that not a single one of them even have the game to agree and/or disagree with anything in the first place.

And the better the game is, the more they "hate" it. Case in point, look at the long winded rant in the post above mine :)

[CrazedFiend]

I WAS being sarcastic!

Sorry, I really didn't think you had to actually spell the word out for everybody to see it!

I know 360degrees is an idiot just as much as everybody else!

I just don't think he really bought the game. Was it that hard to catch?

EDIT: Oh, I get it...It's the Ferrari Fanbois!
Don't worry, I know Ferrari's aren't made out of plastic f(^o^)

[Tru_Ray]

How can a self-imposed Christian gamer call himself a Christian when this industry has been built on a legacy of visceral, senseless, and quite frankly indulgent violence? This is an industry that thrives and profits on the civilization of violence (please refer to to the film Naqoyqatsi if you are not following my line of logic).

I mean, a game comes out with the transparent title of Killzone, and this douche bag is praising it?

Don't get me wrong, I am fan of ultra-violent video games, but I am not a fan of self-deception.

Hardcore gamers pray in a different church. This gamer/author is confused.

Tru

[japanese_dawn]

Looks like you have too much free time boi, here's a c0ck go play with it!

[9mmPreacher]

@Tru_Ray
Are you kidding me? Since when is a games violence even somehow related to real violence? Playing a violent game doesn't make you a violent person. The bible is all about loving one another, not being violent to others in real life. Video game violence does not equate to real life violence, same with movies. If this was the case Leo DiCaprio would be wanted for murder, Sean Connery would be incarcerated for stealing and Christopher Reeves for flying without a lisence.
Cmon man!

[morganfell]

What happened to "Thou shall have no false gods before me." Looks like christian gamer found himself a new god to worship and a faulty one at that - the 360.

[gaffyh]

Anyone owns a 360 & PS3, and got Killzone 2 will realise that this game is amazing. I have owned (and still own some) Halo 3, Call of Duty 4, Gears 1 & 2, Resistance 1 & 2, Orange Box. And these are considered as Best of the best.

But Killzone 2 is easily better than ALL OF THEM, in EVERY WAY.

[Blademask]

No one has said Killzone2 is the best game ever, and if they have. They should be shot. So yes, I agree as the best FPS ever. Kz2 falls short, just as Halo3 does, and COD4&5, Bioshock, and as far as shooters, Gears 1 & 2 fall short of the best shooters ever. But those are all good games by themselves. And even some mentioned although not perfect, are the BAR for FPS this generation. Killzone2 is literally no different than any of those other titles.

There has been no single Console FPS this generation that has done anything innovative that wasnt' done before. Not Halo, Not Portal, Not Mirrors Edge, not Bioshock, Not COD4. Nothing. Map builders were done on PC for ages, Co-Op has been done, everything has been done. This is all understood by a certain # of gamers who have been gaming for at least 2 generations. Its a "buh buh" excuse for critics to hide behind because they realize theres nothing they can fault KZ2 for that they cant fault COD4/Halo3 for. If you want to pretend Killzone2's singleplayer is sooo underwhelming, you have to apply that same logic to Halo/Gears/COD4&5. But wait, those games were all given passes for the short/repetitive/scripted/lack of enemy variety/ Singleplayer modes.

KZ2 isn't supposed to be a NEW experience in a campaign, its your basic scripted FPS story mode exactly like Halo3's and COD4&5's. You walk, trigger an event, fight, and move on. FPS's can only change this with adding gun/turret/rail shooting moments, but its all universally the same Half-Life(pc) moments relived over and over. Guess what Halo OSD is going to be and all other FPS's.. Walk, scripting, fighting, repeat.

To pretend that just having an OK singleplayer and a second to none multiplayer isn't going to cut it, when COD4/Halo3/Gears all get away from it definitely deserves some sort of explanation. All of those games had their single players virtually ignored in reviews due to them being short and not THAT great, but the online is where the bread and butter is. Were you playing any top FPS this generation saying to yourself "Wow i've never seen this before" The entire time? No. Because you did, especially in the case of the Top FPS's.

The problem is that KZ2 can't get a fair review due to the clear bias against the idea of the game delivering on what GG set out to do. At the outset of KZ2 they said they want to make an amazing FPS game, great online and thats it. They delivered a game in 3.5 years that shattered the bar of what everyone knew was possible on consoles. They did it without an install and in HD with 7.1 surround sound. They also pulled of one of the most comprehensive online setups in FPS gaming.

And you really want to pretend that you can see how COD4/5 gets a 10/10 for story/onine, but you cant see how KZ2 can do it? Please.

Saying a game offers nothing new, while ignoring the first person cover system totally, is just a cop out because theres nothing solid you can take away from the games performance. If the standard for FPS story is Halo3/COD4. KZ2 sits right there with the cheesy lines, the scripted scenes, the rail shooting, and the length. I would love hear how its up to Killzone2 to innovate when all top FPS games have gotten away without a single new idea.

This would all be different if there was some amazing FPS that scored 95% on consoles, that had amazing innovative online, amazing innovative single player, amazing innovative loading screens, amazing innovative credits, but there isn't. We have Halo3 & COD4. That is not a hard bar to sit next to, or surpass.

[BELIE7ER]

@tru ray - "How can a self-imposed Christian gamer call himself a Christian when this industry has been built on a legacy of visceral, senseless, and quite frankly indulgent violence?" funny- it looks like your the one who is "self imposing"! so i guess your the one who should pass judgement on what type of game this christian should play? maybe there is more to the shooter genre than just violence. some of these games might actually have a story that revolves around the player be part of a larger struggle for survival or a war. maybe you have not yet learned that killing is sometimes needed to save more lives. maybe, just maybe, he can tell the difference between fantasy and reality just as well as any other well adjusted person. " Hardcore gamers pray in a different church. This gamer/author is confused." - maybe your confused.

[SullyDrake]

Jesus would own a PS3.

[Ju]

Amen, Blademask.

I might be the only one who thought I'd buy the game for the single player (because I am not that much a fan of competitive "i shoot you first" games), but suddenly, I had no time to get into the mission too much, because the MP is addicting as hell (sorry, for that). :)

[Nonsense 4 Gamers]

I remember a month or so ago Hardcore Christian Gamer tried to say the were neutral even though they're site reeked of 360 fanboyism. I guess God told them that the 360 is better and since they're Christian they have to listen.

Anyways, Killzone 2 is the best game ever... REALLY! I played for 16 hours straight yesterday!

[StephanieBBB]

It captures the essence of war in a way no other shooter can. If your just out to toy around with friends like in Halo 3 forge then no Killzone2 is not for you. But if you wanna experience chaos and perfection at the same time then yes buy this game.

[Jake1111]

I own both systems 360 and PS3. There is NOTHING and I mean NOTHING on the 360 that even comes close to KZ2. I played it last night for 2 hours and I am floored......

Not only are the graphics and sound amazing, the AI has yet to be this close to real life in any other game I have played.

Let me give one example. I was in a room peaking out the door. I was getting shot and I was like... What the hell?? Damn clitch getting shot through the brick wall. So I backed up and looked left. No LIE here. I looked through a small piece of glass shot out in the window to my left and noticed a Helgast dude shooting from another room through a small hole in the glass in his room across the open area and through the small hole in my window and hitting me in the shoulder..... What the hell GG?? You are amazing!

I have never played a game yet on any console that has had my heart rate up as high as it was last night. When there was smoke rising and the bullets were flying, when the lightening and sounds were crushing, when the helgast were running from my bullets and taking cover.

Lets be honest. There hasnt been an FPS like this ever.

KUDOS to GG

KUSOS to SONY

This game will only push other developers to compete both on the 360 and PS3.

Who wins?? WE DO!

Jake

[CommonSense]

you all must be brainwashed.

it's like we're playing 2 completely different games. Killzone 2 is not amazing, not special, not even great looking. the only thing it does well is lighting. the controls are so god awful, it ruins any other possibly positive qualities.

snap out of it.

this game does not offer a real "war feeling," it doesn't "redefine the genre," and for the love of god, it is not the best game of all time. if you think any of these things are actual descriptions for killzone 2, you are either insane or blind. it really does feel like you're all brainwashed. i bought this game -- beat it, and i see none of the qualities you are mentioning. there were no "WOW" moments, there was no place where i was "floored" by amazing visuals. it's a clunky shooter with no original ideas, and the controls are so horrid you have to struggle to choke it down. seriously, console gamers are such noobs. when everyone started praising call of duty 4 for being anything other than crap, i knew i no longer belonged with you people. and call of duty 4 is, in almost every way, better than killzone 2.

[ProperFunked]

...

[ProperFunked]

you may only have 1 bubble (plus the 1 i just gave you), but you speak truth. i bought this game as a "must have" for my game library, but if RE5 and KZ2 we're sold on the same day, i would gladly have bought RE5 over this. everything you say is almost exactly how i feel, except that yeah it is a pretty game, that does lighting extremely well, but the controls suck and sony fanboys will defend it to the death because of the blindness caused by fanboyism saying stuff like "well, i already got used to the controls" or "its the weight of the gun to add realism"...really?? weight from the gun that causes an honest half second delay in reaction to your characters movements constantly causing an over/under compensation in aiming properly? bullsh*t. and i CANNOT STAND RICO, sh*test fvcking character to ever come out of my PS3 and i really hope he gets killed off some how, and his voice acting sucked big time. him and natco (<-sc)

CommonSense, I'm glad im not alone with these thoughts =)

[9mmPreacher]

Fixed at my site.

[II Necroplasm II]

Fanboys on this site is like moths to the flame

[Omegasyde]

Wow 9mmpreacher = Christian gamer main author

9mm preacher = oxymoron, because why would a preacher need a gun?

Fail. Fail. Fail. Fail.

So you :helped: create this site, not because you are a christian but because you are starving for attention. Let me guess you also created sonydefenceforce.com as well.

[9mmPreacher]

@Omegasyde,
I'm actually a Navy Police Officer, my issued weapon is a 9mm. I am also a preacher. So, there ya go!

[x THE CHEETAH x]

Good write-up on the game... I hope all is well with you and yours. Take care.

[BELIE7ER]

@omegasyde- so someone cant be a christian and have guns? you need a history lesson. we all need guns. what little fantasy world do you live in? just a little tip for you - don't try invading my house. ;)

[ProperFunked]

dont try invading my pants...=p

i kid i kid =D

and i think jesus was talking about the bible when he mentioned "sword"
i could be wrong tho, idk

[BELIE7ER]

Jesus made a couple references to swords, but i think the specific references to the Word of God being a sword comes later in the new testament. as far as using force or going to war, there is always a season for such things. its still a sad truth. just ask israel.

[Pennywise]

This game, based on multiplayer alone is absolutely worth a buy in my opinion. I have never been so impressed with a game before, and I truly believed that this game was going to be just another shooter.

^ Quote from the site. I usually wouldnt click this guys site, but thought it would be entertaining. His opinions basically mimic mine. This game is amazing. Nice read christian gamer. (Its just weird that a 360 fanboy and a "christian" is so in love with this game)

[BELIE7ER]

"(Its just weird that a 360 fanboy and a "christian" is so in love with this game)" - actually its not. its a solid beautiful game and he recognizes that just like anyone else should.

[Cajun Chicken]

What I like is that Guerilla are bound to shame the third party publishers taking the p**s with game installs these days, hopefully first party PS3 games keep this up!

[bohemian 23]

When did KZ2 come out?

[Lich120]

Today, maybe he wasn't being sarcastic? On the off chance you aren't then there you go.

[bohemian 23]

How do you disagree with the fact I didn't know the game was out yet? I don't own a ps3 and am not saying anything negative about the game. I just didn't know it was out yet.

[itchy18]

very nice read. i just didn't like the intro of his article though. the one written above. ^^^

[LiquifiedArt]

KILLZOWNED!!!

[Bathyj]

Skadoosh.

[edgeofblade]

... and I suppose a single-celled organism like you should follow "Killzowned" with something else equally intelligent like "You got served" or "You best bring it, fool" or "Yeaha, boieeeee" or "that sh*t is dope son".

"I was the only one waiting for it."

Seriously so called christian gamer, just get under a bus. Hopefully one that will back up and pull forward...repeatedly. We aren't clicking on your ridiculous articles.

While you wrote that article and gamed another 5,237 people went to hell. You could have saved a few.

[Ko_Uraki]

I've played Killzone 2 today and I can say that it is a fantastic game with a deep multiplayer mode. Very very good. I really like the realistic tone of the game.

[Bathyj]

Good for you Dude, have a bubble.

You should find a nice girl with an Xbox and breed, so hopefully one day there will be a few more Xb fans like you, with a bit of sense running around here instead of the types we get like "360degrees." What a moroon.

[II Necroplasm II]

and yes alot of the PS3 fanboys aren't jokes either?

[Theoneneo81]

is the Halo Killer.

[Hiruma Youchi]

.

[PirateThom]

I've come to the conclusion that Killzone and Halo can co-exist because they play far too differently to say one kills the other.

You hold a gun and shoot people, but the games couldn't be any more different.

[Bathyj]

Dude.....dont. Just dont.

[themyk]

WTF is it gonna take to get people to stop doing that.

[gamesmaster]

statements like that are the ones that give bullsh!t journalists more fuel for flames.

[edgeofblade]

@OP: YOU are the Facepalm of the Year.

@PirateThom: So, THAT'S how you got so many bubbles... intelligent comments. Who woulda thought?

[caffman]

and here he is!

[Horny Melon]

Hardcore Christian Gamer loves Killzone..........

[cayal]

That's because God made Killzone 2.

[themyk]

LOL

[FantasyStar]

you're mistaken. God made MGS4 and KZ2 doesn't deserve to be in the same breath. KZ2 is more likely created by man because there isn't split-screen. God plays with his son Jesus. Obviously God wouldn't make a game he can't play with his son.

But only God has created MGS4 so far.

[thereapersson]

God doesn't need co-op to play Killzone 2 with Jesus. In fact, I bet God's PS3 has firmware that runs cross-game invites and in-game voice chat too... :)

[FantasyStar]

ahh I cwutudidthar!

+bubbles.

[shadow2797]

*whispers*
Pst, Fantasy Star, MGS4 doesn't have split screen either...

[DaTruth]

Why do you think Hell is so burning hot and on fire?..
The Devil plays on 360!

[PS3Freak]

Actually i would say, that killzone 2 "evolved" from the original killzone :).

[cpt_kaos]

Bugger me if 360degrees was so let downed by KZ2 then he must have been totally Devastated when Halo 3 came out.

[Figboy]

Master Chief plushie to comfort him at night.

on topic, Killzone 2 is awesome. i've been playing it since Wednesday, but sadly, i started my new job thursday, so i've only played a good 5 hours of it so far, and no multi-player yet (i'm saving that for after i beat the single player).

it truly is a remarkable technical achievement for a console game, and i honestly can't see how anyone, even the most stalwart haters can argue that.

the game may not be for everybody, but it is probably one of the purest, true to the genre FPS games i've played in a long time.

the term "going back to basics" is often thrown around in the gaming industry when approaching a re-imagining or reboot of a franchise, but Guerrilla Games just took everybody to school in "back to basics" with Killzone 2. i'll have a review up on my site by next week (i'm working overtime until 9, and i'm working Saturday also, so my time with KZ will be limited).

brilliant game. i wish there were more people like Ko Uraki on both sides of the fence.

[themyk]

The mounted turrets feel so good to shoot

[crazy-eyez-killah]

Has this guy ever heard of proof reading?

I dont care for his opinion - but I care even less when he cant even be bothered to re read what he has written..

Go play Halo Wars.

[poindat]

Did you even read the article?

[crazy-eyez-killah]

Well.. Considering I commented on the fact it needed proof reading suggests that I did indeed read it, does it not? Its not the point of what he is saying, its the fact he cant take the few seconds to check it..

[poindat]

Sorry, it just came off on me that you were suggesting that the article was fanboyish or something against Killzone. It was the way your statements sounded, particularly "Go play Halo Wars".

I put A + B and got D I guess. :)

[crazy-eyez-killah]

No worries, I do think its quite a complimentry article but previous articles of his I have read have been very fanboyish - thats why he got the old "go play halo wars"! ;)

[cpuchess]

Great game and nice visuals. The only thing I don't like is the quick 5 minute games, why isn't there a way to have longer matches??

[poeo]

i think there is a way.. i have played matches that last quite long.

need to look more into the options when setting up a match.

[GarandShooter]

Play warzone dude. With the multiple objectives, I haven't played a match that lasted less than 15 or 20 minutes. If you have been, maybe the teams have been unbalanced, and one team has secured objectives very quickly.

I've actually heard a couple of people say 'When is this match gonna end'?

[cpuchess]

Yes, Warzone can last quite awhile. But I have not seen a way to play 10 minutes matches of just body count for example.

[OhMyGandhi]

been playing killzone 2 all day,
and most say that although the game's voice acting is some of the worst I've heard, the game is incredibly solid.

I, for some reason felt somewhat underwhelmed, but I know that as time goes on, this game will rock.

Mutiplayer is truly the saving grace, it won't get old, and with new content supposely "coming all the time", more of a reason to keep this baby.

Hell, people should buy this game just because of it's presentation...

PSN name: OhMyGandhi

[Marceles]

Seriously, the fact that this game has a single player on top of its great multiplayer makes it worth a purchase. I haven't played the single player campaign much at all just because I've been hooked on MP and working on getting all of the classes.

[themyk]

I love MP as much as the next guy but I always make a point of playing the SP. I'll be done with the SP before I rank up more than a couple times. The SP in this game is amazing btw. Oh and for the people who complain about the voice acting and the swearing I just don't get it. I know if I was On another planet in a war like this I'd be swearing like a motha fuking space marine man.

[yanikins111]

@themyk

I thought the voice acting was great. I mean what are we comparing it to? The guys sounded like they were invading another planet, which was what I expected. Then again I thought the story was great, and moving, so maybe im just retarded. Or maybe its because i played the gem that was KZ1.

Still dunno who im going for to win the war....

[Antny]

As an owner of both the PS3 and X360 (with no loyalty to either) I can honestly say this is the best FPS shooter this generation.

[Insanium]

I am a 360 fanboy, purely by the fact I do not own or have played a PS3. I love my Xbox, but I am pretty sure this is the year I will buy a PS3. GOW3, Killzone, possible price cuts, and not to mention all the games I've wanted to play like LBP, Drake's Fortune, and the Disgaea games. I wouldn't neglect my 360, but it would be a little underloved this year due to the fact that the lineup this year is just pathetic. I want my systems to coexist in peace. Do you believe I am wise in my decision, or am I completely delusional and my dreams are unreachable?

[themyk]

make sure u come back at the end of the year and tell us what your favorite console is. And if u even bothered renewing your live account. Lol

[poeo]

i'd say you are on the right track. keep your 360 for Alan Wake and whatever, but DEFINITELY get a ps3 too, if just for LBP. that game is remarkable, and no gamer should miss it.

oh and i'm not downplaying KZ2, i'm loving it too at the moment.. really effin addicting, just unlocked the engineer and now i can put up turrets all over the place! and they dont even disappear if i die. totally awesome.

[themyk]

I wish I could attach images useing the iPhone. Oh well couple more hours and I'll be off work and home getting killzoned

[GEESE]

Does anyone really believe this loser that she has a ps3 or this game?
I mean come on! Total troll flamage....move on

[Captain Tuttle]

Why so serious?

[Whitefox789]

Captain Tuttle = Batman?

I don't know man I'll just say for this topic that I have a PS3 don't have Killzone 2 yet... but I've played the demo and I loved that the control is weighted it is more realistic then other unmentionable shooters....

I also liked this formula in Stalker

[PimpHandHappy]

Not a really good start for the game that will save the world

lord knows we all want games to save the world!

[rmedtx888]

Where do you live? a village in the middle of the mountains? No reservations for KZ2... lol

[9mmPreacher]

@OP
I actually live in a pretty populated area, I was honestly suprised to see there were no preorders, I think maybe GameStop is a little Xbox sided. I even called GameCrazy in Corpus Christi Tx and they weren't doing a launch either. Weird.

[cjflora]

Why is it so hard to believe a christian can be a gamer? I'm christian and love video games. And ppl call christians ignorant...

[bobdog626]

Just came home from work.Killzone 2 came in today and i sold 2 copy's only out of 30 or more game's .Game stop had a midnight open of 8 people.I talked to a army guy and asked him Killzone 2 is out and he said What?Isaid Killzone2 He said what's that.I said the Biggest game on the PS3 todate .He said like Call of Duty .I said Better than that .He said never herd of it(begain looking at SF4)I said Man you must get this game it's a killer app.He said if you say so (ill trust you on this, this once)Man Sony what give's

[Crazywhitie]

I was at Gamestop Last night at 11:45pm. I got there late thinking I was Screwed... There was a total of 6(SIX) People in Line. Only 3 people were Buying Plus Me... The Manager was Pissed they made him stay.. The Thing to me is GTA 4 at the same Gamestop there was around 150 people in line, I want even talk about the Game we do not Speak of(H***).... I Thought ok now this is a game the PS3 should support more then any yet you guys are asleep...

I get home pop the Game in go Straight to the Multiplay.. all I can say is the controls in this game are Crap... when you move around it feels like the Background is moving and not the Guy.. Try this out find a straight wall or line of something in the game... then push the right analog(View Stick) left or right.. It will not go in a straight line but it will drop or go up depending on which way you go, this shows that the background moves and not the character... I seems like your a better shot if you fire from the hip and not zoom in down the Sites.... Not sure on this game yet,,, But it does look great

[thereapersson]

Just look at the one star reviews for it on Amazon. LOL....

[macalatus]

OMG...I see BOOBIES!! I'm going to burn in HELL!!

[G-DOG]

How bout u freakin add Customizable button control scheme 4 the layout of the control. DAM U GG. I have lots of plp just on my list complaining bout that including me. 1 OF MY BUDDY ONLY HAS 1 ARM HIS LEFT & he disperatly needs that cus not only he needs 2 switch the controls 4 a lefty but move around some buttons 2 make it work 4 him. In conclusion he wont be playing wit me or at all cus its 2 dam hard 4 him. He went back 2 RESISTANCE cus it has that. Way 2 segrate every1 GG. IDIOTS. Also how bout u freaken add in game freinds invite so we can all meet in a room/lobby then go on 2 choose a game so we r all together. I cant believe a thing so important like this is missing but hey it does say in game invites in the back of the box. Thats misleading GG thank u 4 screwing that up. I had such a hard time trying 2 play with my friends. Yes i know u can click on ur friends & go 2 the game their at but what if its full or 10 or so of u r trying 2 get together. Sh*t u need to have 1 enter a game & hope that there is rrom 4 everyone 2 enter & then u might not even b on the same team. GG/SONY what the F@*K ha. How hard is it to add this asap. PLEASE show support & hit agree if u do.

[SSCOOLCHEA]

go play COD.................I personally love the controls

[morganfell]

What a slobbering cry fest. Here is a tissue. One armed friend? Ha ha. More made up crap. How about, "I have no arms and I am typing this with my face."

[TrueStoryGuy]

Seriously, the only thing that annoys me more then someone who thinks his one personal opinion matters and posts it on N4G, is Lloyd's scream in "Dumb & Dumber". I don't care if the news is negative, or positive, it's simply not "news".

[infekt]

He lives in butt-ville, USA. Figures.

[rbluetank]

the mp has the best map design i have ever seen!!! the sp has some flaws on the walls design but the side effects weather/bullet fragement make up for that..... the game is 9 out of ten!!!!

[ElementX]

Jesus wouldn't want people playing violent games. It goes against the teachings of Christianity. Christ never killed people, and Christians should live "Christ-like". These violent games should be shunned by "Christians".

As a pagan, I can't believe how many Christians are hipocrites. To be Christian means to be Christ-like. Christ would never play violent games where you kill others.

Christians believe the earth is 5000 years old, they believe Jonah could survive being swallowed by a whale and not dissolved by stomach acids, they believe Noah built a few boats to hold 2 of every animal on earth, they believe in parting the seas, but they refuse to follow Christ's teachings of love and peace and play violent games?

Yes, I used to go to church, but I don't believe all the BS in the Bible. There are too many inconsistencies. I find it hard to believe that Christians would take pleasure in killing others in a video game. Doesn't the Bible say that thinking of a woman sexually is adultery? What would the Bible say about thinking of killing people in a game?

[RebornSpy]

My uncle is an Episcopalian priest, and he loves violent games like Gears of War and Halo. His motto is "shoot pixels, not people". Video games are not real, just a source of entertainment like movies and music. If there can be Christian metalheads, why can't there be Christian gamers?

Sure some of the hardcore Christians can be very strict about how literally the bible should be taken, but many of us aren't so uptight. I personally take many parts of the book to be more of a metaphor than what actually happened.

Don't put all of us Christians in the same group. There are many different mindsets within the religion, and many of us love to game. There should be nothing wrong with that. It's just harmless entertainment, not actual manslaughter.

[GarandShooter]

Your post reeks of prejudice. Stereotype much? I find it hard to believe you went to church, unless it happened to be the most backward fundamentalist church imaginable. On the occasions that I do go to church do you know what I find? A building full of normal everyday people. Please spew the hate elsewhere.

[ElementX]

I don't hate Christians. I went to an evangelical church and was baptized back in 1999 when I was 19. I am not stereotyping, I'm just saying that I don't think Jesus would approve of today's violent media.

Sorry for bashing. I want to believe in Jesus and all that, but according to the Bible I'm going to hell for being gay. I'm going through a personal religious struggle and I don't know what to believe. Sorry if I offended anyone.

[BELIE7ER]

its all good man. maybe you need to meet some more christians that arent so 'stereopypical'. in the meantime keep playing kz2. its a great game, and everyone knows it.

[GarandShooter]

It's cool ElementX. Forgiveness is the cornerstone of Christianity. Your paragraph about Christian beliefs is the part I considered stereotyping, as it seemed to me you were painting a very diverse group with a single broad stroke of the brush. Perhaps it just didn't come off the way you intended. I hold no grudge or ill will toward you.

I was raised Catholic, and although I am more spiritual than religious, I have a pretty good knowledge of the bible. I have thought at length about the meaning of the words of prayers I was taught to recite as a child. If you would like to discuss this further, feel free to PM me. Peace, and be well.

[WINZLOW]

i picked it up hoping it would be like cod4. what i mean by that is hoping that the online speed would be a very much faster pace. i do like the story mode and admit that this game is by far the best looking console game up to date but i played it for a while and went back into cod4 and boy was cod4 such a relief. i feel like i am the only person who is dissapointed in kz2. its very frustrating when you are trying to turn to your left or right to shoot someone and they go the other way. please dont agree or disagree with me. i just want a response to my comment. in my opinion, cod4 is still the king.

[GarandShooter]

Bro, you like what you like. You have a preference and there's nothing wrong with that. I have my likes and dislikes as well, and make no apologies for them. I happen to like both games and the way they play differently. Variety being the spice of life type thing, for me. Articulate well, speak objectively, don't hate, and others will respect you (well maybe except for those who deserve no respect themselves). Some things are an aquired taste as well. Maybe just giving it more time, adjusting controls, etc. will help. Lastly, remember others are playing under the same condition, so there's only disadvantage if the gameplay differs so drastically from your playing style that you find it difficult or disagreeable to adjust to.

[Hanilugtehul]

ive played this game for two days and the single and online is way better than any other fps out there!

[RebornSpy]

It's really good! The multiplayer is especially awesome, and everything looks great. The only flaws I found were the overall lack of variation in enemies(so far) and the knife, which is super imbalanced in the campaign. Overall, though, amazing game.

[dustgavin]

The multiplayer is addictive! Plus, the graphics are insanely good. Not one hint of lag.

[BigBad316]

Lets Face people are going on about graphics yes it’s not a ground breaker when your comparing to a PC game i.e. Crysis which blows everything out of the water, and only now are people able to afford a good enough pc to run it, and who know maybe doom 4 may have better in the future. But compared to any thing on a console it stands head and shoulders above the rest, their is not anything close on the xbox apart from maybe gears 2 and it story line was to short complete in just 10 hours. Halo 3 over rate junk which the xbox fanboys going on about or should it be halo fanboys which has never done any good on a pc why is that? they where say it was better than half-life until they got half-life 2 on xbox then half of them changed there tune. If your lucky like me and christian gamer you might have both consoles and even a pc so your in the best of both worlds, You should play the game before you pass judgement and that does include the muti-player

[frictionini]

LBP too didn't get impressive 1st release sales but now it's selling 2million and counting...

Killzone2 has a high chance of surpassing it.

[LeGenDx]

"NO GAME INSTALL WOW AMAZING"

[electricgta]

the only thing i have to say is that this is the best game i've ever played, im not into halo, resistance and all that ( im into cod and stuff ) but this game beats all i've played...ever right back to sega lol

[felidae]

i love my 360 and i think overall it's the better system but i have to say that Killzone 2 is a reason to buy a PS3 (if you like FPS).

well done GG

[hexmex357]

Even if the game does not sell well I am glad to experience one of the best FPS That I have ever played! Enemy A.I is One of the best Attributes of the game. Along with amazing graphics. Its it one of its own class.

[360 PIMP]

FINALLY PS3 GOT A GOOD GAME BUT ITS STILL CANT SAVE THE PS3 LOL..
SORRY ABOUT THAT

[richie007bond]

I downloaded the demo on psn, i was really hyped up to see what the big fuss was all about, and i was SADLY disappointed, the graphics what can i say about the graphics, a big letdown after all the hype, the textures are blurry, AA is evident everywhere i look a jagged mess. The one and only saving grace is the lighting which acts as a mask to hide all the graphical flaws, and to point out the physics ,i shoot a guy with a rocket lanucher who was shooting at me from behind a pillar and the guy was still standing and shooting after the blast, very poor for a game that was susposed to take full effects of the ps3 spu for pyshics effects. All in all a let down for me..

[aggh im on fire]

I finished the campaign yesterday and did enjoy it. Its not amazing but its solid and enjoyable. Multiplayer on the other hand is very good indeed and worth the price alone.

[hazardman]

I have to say this game is awesome..The graphics are the best I've seen in awhile the controls take a little getting used to, but after 5-10mins it comes natural..The story is ok but the action makes up for it..There is really never a dull moment in the game..There is just to much going on to ever be bored..The only complaint i have is that when you look from left to right or real quickly you can can notice some slowdown or like a quick blur, but besides that..This game is really good..A must buy if you don't already have it..off subject..Is the multiplayer in Resistance 2 any good??

[Alib8000]

"Thou shalt not kill" - FPS games?
"Thou shalt not steal" - Capture the flag/point?
"Love they neighbor" - Being a complete fanboy?

yeah, he sure is a hardcore christian..

[denied]

I just got my 1st 360 and with a copy of Halo,GoW1 n 2.Let start by saying this GAMES suck donkey poop.Man how can any 3shitty fan say this game is a let DOWN? 1st of,this game ain't Halo3 biggest flop ever,also it ain't Gears of dorks 1 n 2. the Graphics ain't that good, that do playing your game in a black and white old school TV? dude please stop sayin you got a PS3 u can't afford one even if it was FREE. Another thing is to everyone who said the controllers are HARD to get use to, here is what i gota say about that, YOU GUYS ARE A BUNCH OF NEWBIES.I got my copy yesterday morning n play it, in ten second of the game i was all set with the controller. what do you guys what cheap ass controllers set like halo n GoW..PS3 OWNS all and yes im a hard core GAMER and FANBOY so tell you moms that..

[Ninja Viking]

Denied, you're trailer thrash is showing thru your grammar. Before you try and out someone for not being able to afford a video game console, try and make sure you put it out in a logistical and comprehensive way. Otherwise you get egg on your face, like you just did.

[artsaber]

Rest In Peace Halo - 360 fans really are miserable creatures.

You have been KILLZOWNED!!! Officially teh best FPS ever.

[ps3_pwns]

helghast would own master chief and his race in a battle. also if killzone2 was on x360 you could bet the xbots would be sayeing the opposite of what they are saying now.

[Ninja Viking]

If Halo was on the PS3, the PS3 fans would also be saying otherwise!!

That said, I think it would be kinda of cool if you could take a helghast and match him up to a spartan. And see who could win??

[HoofHearted]

What town does that guy live in that there were no Killzone 2 preorders? I live in a small suburb of Syracuse NY with a population of about 14 thousand and our local Gamestop had over 50 preorders.

[Arcturus]

MP looks short...from playing yesterday i'm already on rank 6 of 12 !!! by the end of the weekend ill be maxed. on the other hand SP was pretty fun for the most part.

[Arcturus]

from playing all day yesterday i am already rank 6 of 12. i'm kinda worried about the longevity of the MP, whereas other games (like CoD) have given me a deeper MP experience in both rank and weapons (customization etc) and KZ2 MP seems to lack that.

[ProperFunked]

then you have to go after the badges which from my experience is a pain in the ass unless you have friends that will help you, by padding your stats(create a game together then take turns killing each other). goes by a little faster and your statistics dont take a heavy blow from random kills.

[creeping judas]

you said

"No one has said Killzone2 is the best game ever, and if they have. They should be shot."

Are you living in denial?? Have you been away from N4G for a while?? There are some PS3 fanboys exulting KIllzone2 as the next coming of Jesus!! I've heard such things as "the most realistic shooter ever" "the graphics blow everything out of the water" "crysis, killzone says hello!!" "killzone has killzoned the competition"??

I'm not disagreeing with anything else you said except for this statement.

And last night I was not KILLZONED!!! I played a very good game however.

[teto83]

game of the year???

[darkdoom3000]

christan gamer? sh!t nearly clicked on the link. dont want to give em hits..

did they like it? I dont wanna read article.

[-EvoAnubis-]

They've admitted to being 360 fanboys. So now can we start ignoring them?

And yes, I'm aware that this is actually a good article for KZ2, but that's not as important to me. KZ2 sees plenty of good press, and will continue to do so given that the game is excellent.

[smokysmoke]

ok OMG KZ2 is the best game i have EVER seen EVER SO FAR tha graphics are jus UNREAL!!! and the game play is godly i duno what els to say but the best game out so far!

[ProperFunked]

"My only complaint, and it’s slight, is that the control sensitivity is very frustrating, I have not found the ideal setting for myself yet"

spot on, right now my sensitivity is x40y40. i also noticed about a split second delay from when i push full tilt (i guess its the "added 'lame' weight" that they thought might make the game cooler, my ass). i hope they decide to fix this. it makes shooting a moving target and killing it near impossible, even while your looking down iron sights, which actually makes it more difficult.

(if ur gonna disagree plz give a legit reason why, thank you)

[dznutz00]

I love this game best fps imo i stopped playing my ps3 for a week before it (k2) came out and got to try out halo3 and gears 1 and 2 for the first time and man gears2 is the sh!t not better than k2 but for the time i spent playing that game i wanted to buy a xbox360 just so i could cut guys up with the chain saw at my house of course i would be playing online because i dont wanna pay and im not trying no knock on the 360 for the online but i dont wanna pay for 8vs8 or 16vs16 when i get 30vs30 for free and i have no comment for gears 1 because gears2 is better but it was an great game gears altogether is a bad ass series everything but that stupid ass walking and talking sh!t that happeneds way to often but halo3 i have no one positive thing to say about that game not one so imma keep my mouth shut

if u dont own killzone 2 and u like fps then ur missing out big time this game is sick campaign and online
