[Kill Your Masters]

Play time as expected though I'm sure it will vary for each individual, and also based on the difficulty level. I'm pretty fine with ~8 hours of nonstop action.

 

[McBacon]

140 deaths.


I blame Input Lag.

 

[matticus]

I like the game a lot.
But am I wrong for thinking that not being able to swap out your pistol is an incredibly obnoxious design choice?

No

 

[cakefoo]

surely everyone can understand that if the controls feel ever so slightly off it's worth complaining about? it's great that a lot of people don't seem to mind, or even prefer it but you better believe that if i find that the aiming in a shooter doesn't feel 100% i'm going to point it out, regardless of the quality of the rest of the product. see orange box and far cry 2 on 360 which are excellent but have some fucking terrible feeling controls

They seem to be getting this strange kick out of knowing that I like the game regardless. I would think that canceling my preorder and selling my PS3 would have been more what they wanted. I'm complaining, but I like the game, and I understand that these performance issues can't always be reversed so I might as well adapt or get left behind. I don't think there was ever a point where I thought, "I hate this, I'm canceling my preorder." Everyone just seems way too baffled and can't handle the idea that someone can call out the game for its flaws and yet still be a lover of the game.

 

[FirewalkR]

Another thread title lol. I like it how we have a mod that's quite the KZ2 fanboy. :lol

Spoiler

And we all know it's bish, he doesn't post much but when he does it just feels like he's been here all along.

 

[Dante]

Kinda curious....Does it track how many enemies your ai teamates killed?

 

[Loudninja]

The pistol is great,dont hate!

I'd always, always choose a killer 8 hour game over a 20 hour game with 8 hours of killer content.

 

[DevelopmentArrested]

No

Oh okay. Nevermind then.

 

[Zedsdeadbaby]

Like that other certain major PS3 game?

 

[InterMoniker]

I think its the Helghast's default assault rifle, but only three more than the ISA one with the green scope. Crazy weapons in the game, btw.

Can you switch the ISA hand gun revolver to the other helghan hand gun in single player or multiplayer?

Yeah me too as long as it's no rpg, but then again, I also prefer shorter RPGs like Mass Effect over 100 hour stuff. No more time and motivation for too long games.

I blame Input Lag.

:lol

I missed that Headshot. I blame Input Lag.

I practice without iron sights on normal settings. After I use it again it was easy as hell to aim.
It seems like most people here are using Iron sights to aim. I probably hip fire better then those complainers iron sighting.

I agree.

Quality kickass game that might be short but is forfilling > A dragged out game that might have been kickass for a while.

I fire at the hip with no crosshair better than I do with sights most of the time. (throw in a little strafe-aim for the final touches) I think I should only use the sights for long range.

I don't think Heavenly Sword was major.

That's pretty much Killzone 2 to a tee. Nothing felt redudant or boring.

Nope, sorry

Can you switch the ISA hand gun revolver to the other helghan hand gun in single player or multiplayer?

Yes, and its pretty cool. Much faster firing rate than the ISA revovler.

 

[Loudninja]

Oh okay. Nevermind then.

I understand why you would like to switch it out,but I think it would make the game too easy.

 

[matticus]

Oh okay. Nevermind then.

Yeah, it's hard to say without playing the full game, but it seems there would be situations where 2 'non-pistol' options would be beneficial.

 

[Private Hoffman]

I have no problem with iron sights aiming. Probably 75% of my shooting is from the iron sights. That's just how I like to play this game. Taking cover and downing my foes from a distance. It's also consequently what I love about the controls, they allow for an enormous amount of precision aiming.

I figured it prob wouldn't, but there's been more than a few time Garza has stolen a few kills from me in the Warehouse

I use the iron all time, I rarely shoot from the hip unless and helghast gets in my face!

From What I got from the demo Iron sights work very well.
I'm glad they gave me a choice though.

I hate being forced to use Iron sights like COD4.
Who says Hip fire can't be accurate.

Go watch Tom Knapp on Youtube he's freaking awesome.

 

[Andronicus]

lol, please make a video!

and zoom in 400% + the 25% slow down

 

[careksims]

Haha at the new Thread Title. Seriously sick of people thinking it should play like CoD4.

 

[Nafai1123]

You know a demo is awesome when replaying it for the 12th time sounds more appealing than playing Farcry 2. *sigh*

 

[fortified_concept]

Haven't read the last few pages but from the title I guess the usual suspects found a new talking point to troll Killzone. Am I close?

 

[TEH-CJ]

do you guys prefer playing this at 720p or 1080p upscalled ?

 

[test_account]

I like the game a lot.
But am I wrong for thinking that not being able to swap out your pistol is an incredibly obnoxious design choice?

There might have been cooler if you could drop the pistol and pick up another weapon instead of the pistol, i agree, but if i should guess, then i would guess that the developers of Killzone 2 made this design choice because of adding more realism to the game. I mean, having to carry around 2 rifles or so might slow you more down and make you less mobile/flexible in real life because you are carrying more weight and more stuff. I guess it could be possible to just have for example a 2nd rifle on your back and this wont make you that much less mobile/flexible in real life though, but unfortunately i dont know, i am just guessing here

 

[SSM25]

for some reason I don't see any difference at all........ Maybe it's because input lag.

 

[dreamer3kx]

looks like we're getting back on track here a bit, are there any "masters" in KZ?

 

[A.R.K]

man I am seriously having withdrawl symptoms from the demo (ps3 being dead). Should I go buy a new one till my goes out for repair and then I return the new one when mine is back? I know I know its wrong ..., butttt ugghhhhhhh

what say you GAF?

Now I understand what the MP beta players were itching for after they ended the beta :lol

LIGHTBULB!

I've got at least 150 PMs of people telling me they're gettin rid of their Xbox (360) for the goddam PlayStation 3. AT LEAST A HUNNED AN FIDDY! And like I say I don't blame them, at the time you made the right decision... I commend you for that.

THERE WAS NO TREY.
THERE WAS NO WAY,
THAT DAY.
BUT TODAY,
IS A NEW DAY.
BUY THE TREY.

:lol

 

[Teknoman]

Yay, completed Killzone 2

Veteran Difficulty
21 Trophies (2 Silver, 19 Bronze)
Playtime:

Spoiler

8 hours 27 minutes

Single player completion: 65% (wtf? Must be collectables)
Helghast Killed: 712

Verdict: Buy the game, buy a PS3 if you have to, shooter fans need this in their life. One of the best shooters ever made, no jokes.

Favourite Stuff: Grenades and Wind don't Mix! / Catwalks section before that / Big Daddies / Penultimate Level / Bridge level / Last level / Sniper fight

Very nice.

Also it's the how the firefights play out. If you notice from all the vids and the demo, you get the weapon choice before firefights. Having the primary gets you set for the firefight and in what strategy you want to choose (with the pistol back up).

Hey guys I'm back from amsterdam. Other than the usual twats , how was the general feeling for the demo?
