don't get me wrong here flunkie. i'm allowing them a few weeks to get things sorted. i'm not expecting to fire up the multiplayer day one and it play super smoothly. if i try and i can't connect or the servers are crap or whatever day one, you won't see me on here bitching about it.Flunkie said:

Exactly. Who hyped this up to be revolutionary? It looks beautiful and plays well, along with deep multiplayer. I could see maybe first person cover being something, but that wasnt even hyped.
The Wise Old Man said:
It isn't. Not even when compared to the MP beta which had better map designs and execution of game modes. Seriously. You might not appreciate what you see in the demo but AI behaviour in the demo was superior to all other shooters on the PS3 and the environments looked to be well designed to allow scenarios to play out differently each time.

I can think of a couple of games that were obliged to bring innovation to the genre this generation and fail miserably, and reviewers just gave them a free pass because of their name.
KZ2 doesn't have to take the weight of innovating shit on his shoulders, because other big name big staff big budget games turned out to bring the same graphics, same gameplay and same mechanics from last generaton and they were rewarded with stratospheric sales by hypocrites who demand innovations in other games, like you.
and even then, Killzone 2 brings an atmospheric game like no other, with gunplay that breaks the ordinary floating gun mechanics that every other developer feels attached to, with graphics rendering head and shoulders above everything out there, guns that feel like GUNS, not pea shooters, and a multilayer so deep it would keep you hooked up for many months.
All of this burden to achieve this should have fallen to other games with bigger names, not this sequel to a "mediocre" game, am I right?, but lucky us gamers someone listened to some of us who wanted something to play a little different, more real than the rest of the million FPS out there.
And please don't try to enforce your opinion of the game on us, who are far from forcing ourselves to like the game. I fukin love it because of what it but can easily tell why some people might not like it, and that is valid point.

Indeed I am. Most games (even the successful ones) are an endless loop of two minutes of enjoyable gameplay. So forming a reasonable opinion from a 10 minute demo isn't that far fetched at all IMO. Ok, so maybe I haven't played the train level or the mech level in Killzone 2, but I still have a pretty good idea about the look of the game as well as the gameplay mechanics. As does anyone else who has played the demo. That's more than enough to form an educated opinion. A thousand pardons if mine differs from yours, boyo.

Cause I needed something to do while the MLB09 demo was downloading? And my 360 has the RROD and was shipped off to Texas?
Not necessarily. If I were to judge CoD4 based on the SP alone, I'd be off. If I were to judge MGS4 based on the demo, I'd have a pitifully limited view of the game. If I were to judge R2 based on the SP alone, I'd be disappointed.
You may have a good sense of what you have seen. At best, you can only say the R2 full game is better than the KZ2 demo. You have not played KZ2 the game. A game is usually more than the sum of 2-minute experiences.

If I would have gone by your logic I would have never, ever gotten the full Dead Space game. The demo did that game no favors. But you know what? The game itself was my favorite game of 2008. Yes, you get an idea of how the game will play, but it's a small slice of the full game. If the game is just not your thing, then move on. You've made your point already.The Wise Old Man said:

Ah bro I was just about to post this exact same thing. I just finished Dead Space and its
definitely one of my favorite games of last year and I was completely turned off by the
demo.
Also if I had played a demo that was just the first level of Gears 2 I would have never gotten
that game. Thank goodness I didn't since the full game is fantastic.
Wise Old Man just seems to have a agenda.

Resistance 2 doesn't belong on the positive side of ANY comparison, no matter how abstract.patsu said:
Im... Im sorry but no. If they had released the hospital section of Gears2 as a demo I wouldnt have even bought the game.The Wise Old Man said:
And if the motorstorm maps theyve released for both games were representative of the whole game, then... ugh.
But they arent. So yea... sorry but no.
NO!!1

The Wise Old Man recommends you follow your heart.
In the interest of full disclosure, I've got this game preordered. Sony and GG already have my $60. I'm just saying that of all the games I've ever preordered, this enthusases me the least. Hopefully it'll prove me wrong however.

Engineered the situation? It's the biggest release of the year for Sony, so of course I'm plunking down the money. I want a fun & immersive FPS too. One doesn't exist for the PS3 yet (I enjoy the coop on R2 and that's more like an RPG when you think about it).

That's not what I was saying oh wise one.
I was saying there are a dozen ways to make any point, and choosing the action which you know specifically will go over like a ton of bricks is what we call "pushing people's buttons".
To me, it seems you are just equally as interested in a forum meltdown and pushing buttons as you are about making any point about Killzone 2.
Just my 2 cents but I'm not very wise an individual anyways.
The Wise Old Man said:
See...this is what I don't get. Why play it if you don't like it? And if you really DO wanna give it a chance, why not rent it first instead of buying it then coming back here to tell us how much you think it sucks and how ripped off you feel having wasted your $60?
