Hope you like it fellow GAFfer, the game is really good, use some sort of Headphones/Headset if you can.
I agree on this. The story overall was better than the mainline killzones.
Also couldn't agree more with the toned down language. Foul language is not for me. At least it's not Haze level dumb ...

Did the campaign feel short to anyone else? I understand CG added those side missions for extra replay value, but Veteran difficulty felt like a breeze to me.

I did feel like the campaign ended abruptly. Its as if the last 2 missions should have been 1 combined mission, but were split up. If it had a closing mission, after where it had ended = perfection, as it is though, just a hair shy of.
I hope for additional DLC someday (or a sequel). I'd buy that instantly.
The game is rather phenomenal as a FPS (console or handheld), reminding me a bit of why I loved Goldeneye 007 N64 or Perfect Dark (big words, I know) back I the day. It's got an open needed nature, rewarding exploration and with the multiple side objectives that open up after, one could understand the comparison.

Double tap the back or just tap circle button. You sure motion aiming is activated in the menu?
Hmm yea I'm sure I've activated it! Basically, I tilt my Vita and the sights follow it right? (Or am I doing it wrong?)
Ooops on the rearpad, I kept swiping it lol!

I have come to hate save points system more and more.. they so easily break and then you have to repeat the same shit over and over.. games need to move the fuck away from that system as fast as possible. Was just at the end of mission 5 game crashed now got to it all over again.. fuck that shit.
It's only active when you're aiming down your sights with the left trigger.

I am having major problems with multiplayer on my end. For some reason when starting a match my router light for wireless goes red and the game freezes as soon as a start a match. It's a shame because I was having a lot of fun with it when I did play.

You should have tried killing yourself with a grenade instead of quiting out.
Yep, being host almost defiantly is a disadvantage, from my last few experiences as being it.
It seems every action in game is delayed for me (like I went to knife someone, I was stuck on the swipe down screen for like 10 seconds and then got the kill, plus many other times were I would get the kill like 3 or so seconds after I stopped shooting my gun at them...)
Just very buggy when you are host.
Not a fan of that auto lock on infantry RPG. Some of there decisions are.. questionable.
Still a lot of fun though.

So amazon sent me a pre-order code for Blackjack's Briefcase (when I didn't even order it from them). First person to PM me and show me a photo of their vita and the game & receipt (that's not a pre-order) will get the code.
I hope this is ok. I don't want to shit up the thread.

Just started playing today. Still fun after having played the beta a bunch. Haven't started SP yet though.
Did they change the STA-52SE (or maybe I'm thinking of a different gun)? I thought it was burst fire in the beta like it was in the console Killzone games. It was the best weapon in the game but now it is full-auto and isn't any better than the M82.

Oh, I know that very well. That's not the issue.
It's their sensitivity that's difficult at times.
I just researched the Nyko Power Grip for Vita and I definitely want one now, however they seem to be really hard to find? Nobody sells them online unless it is Amazon 3rd party or Ebay and the prices are $60 or more (Nyko's own website says they are sold out). The closest Gamestop that has it is an hour away. Does anybody know anywhere else to get this?
I decided to send my picture from the Pick-up Thread fellow GAFfer, might be late, not sure if it is enough but sent either way.
I pre-ordered and didn't even got a single DLC from it, ugh...

Yeah, same thing happened with Resistance Retribution. Only saved when you beat a entire mission. Only checkpoints were saved during gameplay.
It's bizarre for a 2013 game.

There's a weird third state, though--sometimes an enemy will see something but not know what it is. Their arrow will turn red, as if they'd spotted you, but they only come over to investigate instead of turning completely hostile. You can still melee the guy if you're quick and keep your stealth bonus. The only way to really tell is to listen to what each enemy says--there's a marked difference between "I thought I saw someone" and "Intruder!" followed by bullets.
Yes. Though Killzone: Mercenary now has a different problem: all the dialogue constantly reminds you you're a mercenary. "Welp, gettin' paid is gettin' paid, right my mercenary friend who's only in it for the big payday? Time to do our job and case our cheques because all we care about is money! Okay, let's take these guys out--I'll hit the left, you hit the right, and then we can roll in all the money we're about to make!" I get it, you guys, YOU LOVE GETTING MONEY FOR DOING MERCENARY-TYPE THINGS.
I was having some issues earlier today also.
Sine last night. Ugh
Do you have to do anything in particular to activate the 2x XP (=cash) bonus in multiplayer from Blackjack's pre-order bonus? I typed in the download code in the PSN store on the Vita, and downloaded a little patch which I applied to the KZ:M bubble. I did get a large batch of money in-game, but as far as I can tell, I'm still getting regular XP from all my actions in MP. Anyone got any ideas?
Have you tried closing out of the game and restarting it? It's annoying, but that fixes it for me every time I can't connect.

Beat the game in 2 hours and 51 minutes according to the in-game timer on Veteran.
On that note, Veteran was really easy compared to other Killzone games, or hell, games in general.

I think there is something wrong with the clock. it says i have played 2 hours and 30 minutes but i am pretty sure i ve done 4 hours at least so far.
Seriously , use headphones, you will actually hear footstep .

While I didn't get around to playing KZ3, I'd have to put KZL up higher. Phenomenal multi and great co-op. The portable games are just insanely good.
Just finished the campaign. Great ride. Kind of wish that Danner spent more time working for the Helghast.
. I wish that the campaign had been a little longer- it was really good for a FPS. My clock says I played for 3 hours 47 minutes, which is less time than I did actually spend playing, but the time would be smaller if I hadn't replayed a few of the missions to show the game off. Game wasn't very hard on Veteran at all.
Wonder if they'll release any DLC?
I didn't expect there to be a fourth party involved- Black Jack

Still reckon HUD-less Veteran is THE way to soak up the game in all its glory. Just taking my time, enjoying the hell out KZM.

wow, just started, but this game is absolutely fantastic visually. In fact, it impresses me as much as the KZ games on PS3. To me it is much more impressive than say Uncharted GA was. Not a fan of the brutal kills really, it is a bit too much, but the game is quite the feat...

Thanks for reminding me. Gonna do this as well.
Jumping between Killzone 2 and this game I'm definitely noticing that Mercenaries is a much more forgiving game. I get the feeling that they made the aiming a bit more automatic in Mercenaries since its a handheld game because I get head shots all the time. Either that or the analog controls on the Vita are better than the Dualshock 3... which is possible now that I think about it! lol
Enjoying both games, actually.

It changes up the pace quite nicely. I'm making another run in STALKER Misery on PC at the moment, so there's a nice parallel to a 'clean screen'.
Plus, more room to ogle the frankly amazing visual design. What a game. WHAT A GAME.
EDIT: All I really need now is a Killzone Metal Gear ACID-like game. Give me a Killzone tactical TBS on Vita.

Yeah the multiplayer is absolutely awful connection wise for me. Hopefully they are working to correct it.

This is going to sound funny but though KZ2 is my favorite there are a lot of elements here that are better than any of the other games. I also completely agree about the swearing. It turned every character into a caricature.
The low reviews for this game are ridiculous. This is the best handheld title I have played on either my 3ds or Vita this whole year. The MP is so addicting and polished in a way I never expected from a handheld. Edge in particular really annoyed me with "It's the best a handheld FPS could ever be but do we even want it?" What does that even mean?
