Killzone 2 is as generic an FPS as you get.

and you know funny enough, i haven’t been able to enjoy a game since i played the KZ2 demo.
i absolutely loved fear 2 now after playing the killzone 2 demo im bored of fear 2.
well that shows how high GG have set the bar.
congtatz its about time some one produced a non generic FPS.

both and KZ 2 gives me both, Not like RE 5 .
A game has NEVER pissed me off as much NEVER and ive been playing games for 10 years.
its a fast paced action game,
its like your a 90 year old granny trying to outrun zombies in a racing car.
you can pop a few off but once you run out of ammo and you will very quickly 3 shots to the head does not kill them ????
so all you can do is run around like a head less chook waiting for shila to save your ass.
i think ill pass.
ahhh the good old days when they new how to make a proper survival horror game. its turning into action game with scary cut scenes wheres the suspense?

Do you want realism or fun?

im SICK of people complaining that it does not control like COD 4.
if you want all FPS to feel like COD 4 fine ive got one game for you guess what it is ……
nope
its COD4.
its suppose to be REAL, when your carrying armor and a back pack ammo ect your weighed down.
the recoil is there because have you ever fired a real gun?
i have used a single bolt riffle, and it feels like its going to fly out of your hand.
ok now take that single shot and imagine that happening several times in quick succession.
the only thing i did not like about the demo, is its cover shoot, cover shoot, cover shoot. thats it,
you would think that the enemy would try and flank you but nope. the bit where theres 2 enemy jeep things.
all you can do is take cover and shoot, if you run up to them you can kill 2 or 3 but than you will die.
so basically all you can do is pop and shoot gets boring they need to spice it up. but hey it is a demo so im shure theres alot more to the game than pop shoot run turn valve repeat……. i hope

o yea n HOW THE HELL ARE YOU SUPPOSE TO TELL WHERE A GRENADE IS?
theres no indicator like in R2,Uncharted or yes COD but you do need it. its annoying that i have to look for grenades every time i hear that beeping,
only to find either i cant see them or there on the other side of the map.

Dude, get a life. Seriously. You can dismiss everything I said as “anti-Sony bias”, but the fact is this: you’re a fanboy and you’re defending a huge corporation that doesn’t need your defending.

You’re exactly like Nintendo fanboys who went on the rampage when Super Smash Bros. Brawl got panned by Yahtzee:

And you have those Official PlayStation Magazines… So their opinions are nullified because they’re the official magazines? GTFO. If you read these reviews and didn’t just look at the score you would realise they are PS fans, not fanboys but whatever.

Hey thanks for putting words in my mouth dude. I wasn’t trying to be rude but F you.
“Stop making it sound like Halo is some Red Faction knockoff.” -When the f**k did I say anything about Halo 3 being a knock off of anything, or being a bad game for that matter? In fact it was a very good game.
“And a map editor, and improved AI, an incredible story with a classic ending.” -Does this make it the ‘best gAme evaH!!’ for you? S**t, these things have been done before and guess what, I’ve heard lots of people say it had a crappy ending. And yes I have seen the ending. Nothing classic about it but hey guess what, it’s an opinion. Not a fact!.
“And Microsoft didn’t bribe 3M people into preordering.” -Yet Sony bribed 1.1 million people into pre-ordering Killzone 2 and over 2 million into buying Killzone. Am I doing it right?
“And are you saying Sony doesn’t give away tons of swag? Are you seriously implying that? Yeah, sure.” -Let me direct you to what I wrote since you’re so selective–> “actually question the whole industry” Guess what, bribing is bribing regardless of who does it.
“And Sony doesn’t sacrifice live goats to promote a game, either.” Not very relevant but go to a slaughter house if you want to see depraved.
“Um, Sony is “paying” them in web hits that they’ll get because only they have the reviews and no one else will – and the future in which Sony will give them more exclusives.” -I hope you don’t believe that Sony is the only one who does this since you only seem to want to stick it to them. This how the sites make money. Not saying its ethical but please no double standards.
“You still haven’t addressed the fact Eurogamer is bending over backwards to reassure everyone Sony didn’t influence them – why?” -You still haven’t addressed the fact that EGM was trying to reassure everyone that the two Halo 3-themed 360 controllers, Halo 3-edition Elite 360, Master Chief collectible helmet, Xbox Live headset, dog tags, health kit, and some military meals didn’t affect their Halo 3 review. But whatever, I’m the Sony Defence Force right?
Hey manipulating reviews is bad but that’s not the argument.
You seem to have a vendetta against KZ2. Like you’re [bleep] that some people are enjoying it or something. I called it, I knew Killzone 2 was gonna be the most nitpicked game this generation and one of the most controversial but this is getting ridiculous.

No [bleep] Jonah Falcon(awesome name). I'm not trying to be rude but the schwag bags had upwards of $800 US worth of [bleep] in them. If your not gonna question the ethics of a reviewer keeping the gifts then you gonna look pretty biased. "You review the game and find it to be an okay game, worthy of a 7 or 8. How easy would it be to just nudge that score to a 9 to please the publisher, so they’ll buy more ad space and give you more hot releases to publish reviews early for?" Now how the [bleep] are you gonna ask this question then ignore the fact that reviewers got very expensive "bribe" bags. Yes I said it. This game scored super high for what was basically Halo 2 with replays. I'm in no way saying it was a bad game but even Edge, I mean freaking EDGE gave it a 10! [And a map editor, and improved AI, an incredible story with a classic ending. Stop making it sound like Halo is some Red Faction knockoff. And Microsoft didn't bribe 3M+ people into preordering. Incidentally, people are still playing Halo 3 a ton of Live - 2+ years after release. And are you saying Sony doesn't give away tons of swag? Are you seriously implying that? Yeah, sure. And Sony doesn't sacrifice live goats to promote a game, either.] Further more you have no proof of Sony paying anyone and that's that. [Um, Sony is "paying" them in web hits that they'll get because only they have the reviews and no one else will - and the future in which Sony will give them more exclusives. That isn't "proof" - that's fact. You still haven't addressed the fact Eurogamer is bending over backwards to reassure everyone Sony didn't influence them - why? And you have those Official PlayStation Magazines...] But if you do please present it. Until then maybe you should change your article in whole and actually question the whole industry instead of picking on the It game to gain hits. [No. I'm citing a specific example. I did it with Black & White years ago. Sony did the same thing with Heavenly Sword and Lair - or have you forgotten them sending a "reviewer's guide"?]

I don’t have any more or less hate for Sony and the PS3. I’m anti-stupid (such as Jack Tretton’s baldfaced lies during the PS3 launch, and Sony’s idiotic PS3 commercials – I guess Derrick’s anti-PS3, right? Or maybe he’s anti-stupid, too.) Stop assigning motivations that aren’t there. If that were true, why would I be creating and more or less maintaining the MLB 09: The Show Wikipedia page, for example?

Or maybe I’m anti-Nintendo.

http://www.gamestooge.com/2007/03/18/nintendo-too-much-recycling/

I’ve also been critical of Microsoft’s mishandling of Live for Windows/Games for Windows.

Maybe I’m anti-videogaming altogether. (rolling eyes)

(And of course, this is like a Carly Simon song – “You’re so vain, you probably think this article is about Killzone 2.”)

Jonah -

You know, I really feel sorry for you. Honestly, I do. You have such venom pent up for Sony and/or the PS3, I just can’t understand it all. More over, I can’t understand how on Earth you can live knowing – knowing as in fact – that Sony now has what is shaping up to be a highly rated, successful title in Killzone 2. The idea that you twist scores of reviews touting how good the game is into some sort of twisted conspiracy is simply pathetic.

I do feel sorry for you. You have your mind closed to a system that is now starting to give the consumer – us gamers – titles worth playing. I own all the major consoles, and have since the original PlayStation. I play the games, not the consoles, so I have the wonderful position of playing truly great games like Gears of War, Metal Gear Solid 4, and Super Mario Sunshine…all without watching my blood pressure jump out of hatred for any manufacturer.

However, with that said, who I REALLY feel sorry for are Doodirock and DSmooth over at 2old2play.com. The idea that you are co-branding with that extraordinary site is a travesty of epic proportion. This site was a nice idea of theirs to get going, but your repetative pisspoor journalism (or at least attempts to that end) drags that name into the muck. I can’t do anything but shake my head.

Wow! what a [bleeping] fanboy this Johan Falcon is and the bullshit no name website is. [bleeping] hating [bleeping]! [This guy is accusing me of being a fanboy, then writes] Go play you [bleep] [bleep] 360! oh wait, that's right, you cant, cuz either A.) its broken or B.) has no games coming out for it to play. [Wheee!] Im sick of all this Killzone 2/PS3 hate. I dont even think Killzone is that impressive or have a PS3. [Please don't lie.] But the level of hate and pettiness by the Microsoft Attack Force is just ridiculous. Play your [bleeping] games, you [bleeping] [bleeps] and stop hating the PS3 so much. [Says he doesn't have a PS3 and not a fanboy but trashes the 360 and tells people to stop hating the PS3.]
