Speculative Fiction: Killzone 2 Edition
Don't take this personally, it's not your fault you were somehow chosen contribute your impressions along with others to the recent KZ2 preview, I mean, you clearly have no interest (or knowledge for that matter, at least, none that you decided to provide) of the game, it's technical achievements, it's daunting history, backstory or gameplay mechanics. This of course is all made perfectly clear in your nonexistent attempt to hide your distaste for the game, all of which is included in your opening sentence.
Apart from that opening sentence, which I'll get to in a minute, I was really bewildered by another criticism you had. The cover system is a gimmick? Seriously? See, here on planet earth, when one decides to write off their own opinion of something as fact, especially when it goes against the vast majority, they usually provide factual data to back it up. Of course that wasn't something you decided to do, just like the odds of your impressions of the game being positive, there was no chance of that happening. Your very own co-workers (some of which have also gone to great lengths to create significantly nonexistent elements of the game to bash) don't even share your opinions on the cover system!
As far as the helghast criticism goes, there's no need to even begin to describe the overwhelming effort you put into really making that sound like a valid concern. The first Killzone wasn't fully realized, I think we all can agree to that, but even you have to admit there were certain distincive elements the game introduced, the main one being the red glow of the helghast's eyes. Did you know that they even have a purpose other than asthetics during gameplay? Surely during one of your many "unsatisfying" firefights you stumbled upon a dark corner, or a completely shadowed alleyway, then heard an enemy approach at which point it was nearly too late. But no! Had it not been for the glowing set of red eyes emerging from the darkness, you now had a blatantly clear target to wipe the floor with.
Kind of like your KZ2 preview.
CassidyIzABeast said:why does just about everyone playing this game have such bad aim? like in the gametrailers AI video there are two helghast standing beside each other. He shoots one of them but he swings the gun completely past the other guy. Are journalist that bad at playing the games they write about?
What wat? He's right, the game has some of the best AI ever implemented in any game.panda21 said:

She's not hot nor is she fugly imo. She's a decent looking girl and seems really mellow and chill. But why the FUCK was she brought up in a KZ2 thread is beyond me. Back on topic people, this page is running low on gifs!supermackem said:Tina? shes hot.

their score will effect metacritic. metacritic average might effect business decisions at sony/GG. not saying their opinion is super important, but it can have an effect on things.Stench said:Why do you guys value the opinions of 1up's staff so much?
In the grand scheme of things, they are an inconsequential microcosm of the video game spectrum. Barely anyone reads their website except for GAF. They do not matter.
Fucking relax.

i love the part about 4/5ths in where a helghast is getting up as the player is reloading, and a teamate blows off his headKaako said:

Bad wording, I apologize.
Just pushes my buttons when people start talking shit about someone's appearance (e.g., Gabe Newell) when they should just focus on their ideas and opinions.

There are only three reasons for why someone would have such a highly-vested interest in a title's Metracritic score:dfyb said:their score will effect metacritic. metacritic average might effect business decisions at sony/GG. not saying their opinion is super important, but it can have an effect on things.
"Dayuuuuuuumn" is what came to my mind at that instance. Loved the whole atmosphere of that specific level where it's kinda dark the red eyes of the helgans as well as some lights around the place pop out at you. Really sick art direction.dfyb said:i love the part about 4/5ths in where a helghast is getting up as the player is reloading, and a teamate blows off his head
SolidSnakex said:About how Sony should ban EGM/1up/Edge from reviewing PS games.
or maybe they're just upset that they feel the journalists, who's opinions have a more substantial effect than their own, seem to be underqualified. if a game gets panned by the game media, it can easily effect business decisions for that developer -- that can be a legitimate concern for fans of said developer/game.Stench said:There are only three reasons for why someone would have such a highly-vested interest in a title's Metracritic score:
a) They are a paid cronie for a publisher (ie. chespace), whose job is to ensure that the game scores as highly as possible for all the different review aggregates
b) Same as the above, only it's just for "pretend" (ie. Wollan)
c) They are an insecure fanboy seeking validation for their system of choice through higher Metacritic scores (ie. 90% of this forum)
That's one awesome petition. It's even sadder that this guy is actually serious.Tempy said:Okay, which one you numbnuts thought this was a good idea? http://www.**************.com/angelica/petition.html
