Not sure why you find that so silly.... Based on all the gifs and vids I've watched for this game, it's not all that drastically different from the demo. It's not like I'm going to pop the retail version into my PS3 and suddenly puppies, rainbows, and unicorns are going to come gallivanting across the screen. There's not big shocker coming in the retail version that I can't gleam from the demo. That's why they call it a demo, no?

Pretty much, yeah. Killzone 2 just isn't that great a game. Sorry kids.
The Wise Old Man said:
Your point could have some validity to it when only the Official Playstation Magazine reviews were out. But now the gaming media and press at large have access to KZ2 and the aggregate opinion is that it is in fact an AAA game.
Why that attitude as if your opinion ruled all or had more validity over that of others? You're a nobody. You're trolling. You're not even giving any kind of proper argument or answering any points made against you.
This is why Sony is fucking stupid. Just release the fucking game early you tards. Letting it incubate is gonna let these bots come in and gear up on their slamming (based on the demo :lol:lol:lol).

Yep, just snagged one a month ago and I'm loving it so far. Resistance 2 coop online is a total blast. MGS4 is the balls. The PS3 has a pretty solid library (and I approve of them not charging for their online service like Microsoft does). I was just hoping that Killzone 2 would live up to all the hype. It's an 'ok' FPS, nothing less, nothing more.

Sure I am. My point is that Killzone isn't all that original or interesting for me. I'm not faulting GG for this. The problem lies with the genre itself. War torn FPS games got old a long time ago. Heavens forbid I get some innovation in a game...

Its going to be a looooong wait until the game comes out if we have to deal with complaints the whole way.

Moreover, it feels like most of you folks are trying a bit too hard to like this game. I'm not hating on it or anything, but it definitely doesn't justify all the hype that's been generated over it. If the PS3 wants a system selling FPS, this is certainly not it. Resistance is probably the better title.
The Wise Old Man said:
As long as KillZone 2 is a notch above Call of Duty, it's going to be an attractive purchase for millions of people.
Tired genre or not, there's still a ton of people buying them and playing them online for months and months.
And, for what it's worth, I do think KZ2 will be a notch above COD4/WAW and I look forward to playing it for several months.
The comment in the Ars review regarding the game not being a system seller is probably true, when considering the single player story alone. But I dont think thats The Point of KZ2, so that comment seemed somewhat ignorant. If you own a 360 but have been eyeing MGS4/Uncharted, I can see how KZ2 would put you over the tipping point for making the purchase.
Oh no... saying that is like calling the R2 Hate force ! Thankfully for you PrivateHoffman is banned.The Wise Old Man said:
If you dont like the game its cool,everyone has different tastes,but you should understand
that many people like it,maybe because of the footage or because they played the demo or beta.
Anyway... keep it civil guys.

i'm not trying anything.The Wise Old Man said:
this appeals to me way more than Resistance (i rented the first, and bought and returned the 2nd when i couldn't get it it to work on line EVER). you've got much smarter AI for one, which is a big thing for me. a more interesting setting (to me at least).
sure it's just a great looking, uber polished shooter if you can step back from the system WARZ view point, but what the hell is wrong with that?
personally i don't care if it sells systems. i don't care if it's better looking than any 360 game or not. it looks like a really fun, high polished, AAA title.
you can ask anyone around here that knows my post history and they'll tell you that while i may be a lot of things, biased towards sony i am not. scif FPS fan, I am.

Excellent, we've all kept things amicable here. I'm going to go flog the dolphin now.

i wouldn't know. R2 wouldn't let me play online when i bought itpatsu said:
i hope KillZone 2 isn't the same. i work in IT, all my other PS3 games work online, all the network tests are clear, i had all the right ports forwarded... but i could never get in a game.
Yeah, but the attraction in MP is to play with humans.
Not saying KZ2 MP will definitely be more fun than SP but playing with bots is pretty much playing alone. There is no/little sense of teamwork, revenge, community, etc.
In similar vein, I would love Insomniac to leave the "Kill a Teabagger" trophy in the MP game (but they didn't)

I knew it. All those online review sites are lying. The Wise Old Man is a credible source. Since he's played the demo a dozen times and watched some gifs in a thread or two. I bet the online sucks too right? I bet you saw a video or two on Killzone 2 MP and deduced that it was crappy as well.. no?The Wise Old Man said:

Bah, that's so long ago. R2 servers are fine now. Well hidden lag, no crashes. I believe most people will find R2 MP more fun than the SP.

i bought it in late december. seemed like everyone i was trying to play with was having zero trouble which is what made me think it was an issue with my network, but i couldn't find a single thing, and that's my job basically. everything else worked fine.patsu said:
so back it went. naturally i'm nervous that whatever it was that made R2 different to all the other PS3 games i've played will also be true of KZ2.
i'm expecting a few weeks of network problems because, frankly, every big PS3 release has had that.

Spot on. The R2 servers are dolphin floggingly good.
Inside the PSN storefront, on the right, near the top, there's a row of three small white-on-blue icons. The leftmost one is "Redeem code". Click that and do your thing.Dementia said:
I think there's another hook for code entry inside the account management (rightmost column in the XMB, not in the store).

So, wait, the wise old man is making all his decisions based on a demo he played a half dozen times and videos from websites?

to be fair, i think we're all making opinions based on the demo. some positively (like me) some negatively.jett said:
i do have to roll my eyes whenever someone who hasn't played the full game asks someone saying that they aren't impressed 'Oh, you played the full game again?' like somehow you can only have positive opinions of a game that you haven't played and negative ones aren't allowed.
i know i'll usually put my impressions of a demo before a reviewers impressions of the full game... and why shouldn't i?
