...and that, kids, was the first time I sucked a dick for crack
I just finished the mission where I jumped into the dropship. Now I'm in some outer space gravity mission. So far, the game has been booooring, and I'm a massive fan of KZ2 and KZ3. But here, I always feel lost and there's just too many commands to issue and shit to do to make it past a level.
Someone please tell me the pace picks up and evens itself out.

It just depends:
If all you've played is PS3 and 360, you probably WILL be amazed. If you have a good gaming PC then these graphics are what you were already playing so it's simply not as impressive. Don't get me wrong, it's still a great looking game, but it doesn't blow my mind. If the campaign framerate were better I'd probably be more impressed.

I think it's pretty damn good for a killzone game so far. the open level is really cool and the touch pad is great for controlling the owl. Killzone has evolved. step above halo, COD and the rest of them now and more like crysis 1 now. gameplay wise at least. storywise it's decent but nothing special
They're probably not in it solely for gaming anymore. What's in it for themselves, media spotlight, pleasing others, looking for handouts, etc, etc
Not suggesting they're all are like that. lol
It's like some people working at a Gaming store and know nothing about their product they're selling. And, they've only got the job because of a piece of paper, stating they're qualified.
I'll always take a Gamers Review, Opinion, on a forum more so than normal reviewers. As long as, his, primary focus isn't on Resolution.
I can't wait till more Gamers start flooding in with their opinions.
Especially Knack.
I have kids and it should be good for them. And truth be told, i'm alittle interested aswell.
But i'm getting turned off from Reviewers cause lately they seem to be expecting more from Games, than just, a Game.
Can't wait till Killzone, it looks sweet and looks like it plays sweet.
I can't wait to see how this one's gunna play out in the Story. Trying to distance myself from hard spoilers etc,lol
And, it'll be a great showcase to my mates who are still on the fence about Next Gen. lol
*sigh... i better stop now. I'm rambling on. lol
Bring on the 29th!!!!

Gotta be the PC crowd, mostly. I think people coming from 100% PS360 background are floored, PC folk not so much as they're pretty used to it already. I expect to be pretty floored myself being almost exclusively PS3 this gen.

Anyone know just how much you can play with the 7.5GB downloaded? Is multi available?
I hope there are massive scale war missions as well..

I haven't been reading this thread - what's the consensus amongst people here who've actually put some time into the game? I really don't trust the gaming press where Shadow Fall is concerned, at all.
Just shoot things.

You'll likely get plenty of responses here, but in the meantime I'd recommend Jim Sterling's review.

i played campaign level 1 and 2 matches of multi
so far so good!
so far so good!
I got to play a couple matches online. Didn't realize the download was so big. I played single player three hours and it just finished. The single player is Amazing. It is an adventure with shooting not just an action movie. You have to actually figure out were to go and look around. I can see people hating this game because of that. It took me a level to realize it's not just one big turkey shoot being led by the balls. Great game so far I could not be happier.
You will die a lot at first,until you get use to the controls,the touchpad and the checkpoints and finding those alarm that you need to disable with the little flying thing...

No offense, but Jim Sterling is the last person whose opinion I would listen to.

i've been begging for over 5 years.
Got to play a 1 warzone session today. All in all I didn't do as bad as I thought ended up 12-14 with a bunch of objective points. I don't play shooters much anymore but I'm positive this will be sooo awesome playing with a group of gaffers.
I like play as part of a team much more than going lone wolf. I hope to get some matches in with KZ-GAF this weekend.

Some real flaws in this one, the beacon mechanic SUCKS, it's hard to find, and they're is usually too many enemies to fight at once to stop at least one guy from getting it to call for help. In addition the enemies shoot with 100% accuracy as soon as they see you, run into more than two they'll be pummeling you with bullets instantly in one overwhelming shootout.
Doesn't work right now for me.

Been snapping lots but PSN is just getting the crap kicked out of it. Even since first thing this morning I haven't been able to upload a photo.

He's a pretty big KZ fan. Did the reviews for 2, 3, and Merc if you want to look them up.

Lack of images/gifs is disappointing in this thread. Come on guys post some new images from play through (no spoilers of course)

lol none taken, just stood out to me as being pretty objective.
Well wouldn't you be suprised if you had stayed on 2005 PC hardware and then voila 2012?
But I still expected more. Don't tell me they are planning to hold ps4 in a cave for the next decade like ps3? They should really get a new console out in MAX 4 years or 5.
I will try the ps4+game at a local gamestop. But I honestly expect bf 4/crysis 3/metro graphics. Otherwise they are a generation behind already. They don't have to be on ultra LOL but at least, AT LEAST high details in my humble opinon
The plot of the game makes absolutely no sense. At the end of KZ3, Helghan is utterly decimated. So where is the leverage coming from that would make the Vektans just give up half of their country? On top of that, why would any truce allow Helghast to remain MILITARIZED? And why would any third-party enforced truce not ensure safe passage over the wall?
It's a game so I really don't give a shit but it makes NO SENSE

Enjoying the game so far but you can tell its a launch title much like how I felt when I played Resistance at the PS3 launch. It seems a little rough around the edges when it comes to editing between cutscenes and gameplay. The very first mission is a classic example of just dropping you in the level without actually showing you how you got there. A little better transition between the two would have gone a long way for me personally. Still, it has great graphics and the framerate is mostly solid with just a little judder here and there because of the unlocked framerate. Solid game so far but not very far into it yet.

confused me too when the Helghast was just killing the Vektan refugees for no absolute reason
without Vekta saying WTF

Love the feel of the multiplayer but the graphics don't really seem all that good in mp.
That's what I don't get? Random charity AND you allow them to keep their bullshit? I just don't get why they would and then let it get that way.

I was thinking about this too, to be honest.

The overcharge on the tactical echo is a really good idea. Still don't like the ability being in multiplayer, though.

Some quick screens I just took:
I was thinking the same thing. I guess a lot can happen in 30 years.

Wasn't the truce brokered by Earth? Neither side really gave up, they just negotiated a cease fire. Don't think the Helghast was considered the loser and forced into anything, there was no surrender, they just ended hostilities and part of the truce involved the helghast being allowed to live on the planet. Of course it was 30 years ago, perhaps at first it was all nice and colonization, but the industrialized helghans quickly built up arms once again.

Not sure if its mentioned at all in any of the games, but the Vektan army answer to a higher power who have the ability to decimate them and the Helghans if necessary, if I recall. Have vague memories of the Vektan army being just a branch of the ISA. No idea why they'd allow the Helghast to remain militarised though

I got to say the game looks lovely
the jumping animation and the main protagonist shadow is great....
if only I could get this firmware patch to work and for the PSN to comeback online I would be playing the MP

Playing a game on Easy, not playing the previous games to understand the story (it seems that some people might be lost according to Jim Sterling's review), playing MP too little (a multiplayer game shouldn't be reviewed by 3 HOURS of gameplay alone), and of course: having the need to get the reviews as soon as possible rather than be an actual journalist and wait.
And that's only what I can think of right now, I could talk case on case stuff, but that's what I think about certain reviewers and might not be objective.
Those do not look like PNGs to me.

Loving the game so far and think that the visuals are very good. But I was a little disappointed when I first got into that forest level and it had a bit of a blurry look to it like it was using FXAA heavily or something. There are portions, where it looks cleaner and at those times it is just amazing looking.
Overall, very happy with the game!

Quick question, in the first reveal there was this animation where the Shadow Marshal did a death from above on a guard then threw the knife on another one, kinda similar to Far Cry 3, Is that feature still in there ?!, is it as useable as in Far Cry 3 or is it very limited or something ?!

Recent;y got an 88MB update, don't know what it does but I can't see why we don't have patch notes in the UI for net gen.
It's still in and always available after melee kills.
