So am I the only one so far who keeps ending up in games where the entire team is composed of chucklefucks who run everywhere EXCEPT where they need to be defending/attacking?

Thats my run on Hard. The level is stupid easy once you know where to go and experiment a little. It took me five tries to do that.
I think I might be done with reviews with the start of this generation. I was told that Killzone and Knack were mediocre. I'm having a ton of fun in both. I can't believe these are launch games. This generation is going to be amazing!
Thanks, but you got detected
I was able to do it without killing anyone or being detected. There's a trophy for not being detected on this mission.
I would have agreed with you, if i hadn't finished the game. I think reviews were spot on.

I beaten it, but man, this part, this freaking part in the chapter...
Ugh, I've mastered it now, but that section on my first play through was a nightmare. Took way too long to get it down.

Yeah, I never went back to it once I finished it. Moved in to Knack. i'll revisit some time in the near future. Point being there's nothing terribly difficult about finishing the mission.Thanks, but you got detected

Man I logged in to play one online match and it crashed. Corrupted data and I was near the end. Now all my progress In SP is gone. Wtf! Luckily psn plus uploaded most of my progress, only lost one level. Stupid though a crash can corrupt the save data now.
Just now finished the game and I really enjoyed it. Even the last bit.
The game had some awesome moments and was a great way to show off the hardware.
Having played all the KZ games as prep for this one, I can say this has been my favorite. I was super late to the party for the older games, but I might actually give the MP a try in this one.

I had no problems with the freefall I think I died once, pushing O to put on the brakes helps a ton. And for anyone having issues with Chapter 8 when you are in the back and all the Helghast start rushing in with their shields, there's is a turret at the top of the stairs that you can get into and it shreds everything.
I honestly think this game is harder than Killzone 3 even on normal, I beat Killzone 3 in 6 hours practically the same day I bought it and it wasn't that difficult at all really besides the few moments of difficult spots. But this game from Chapter 6 and onwards is like, wow.
Though nothing is as hard as the last level of Killzone 2 from what I played(starting Chapter 9 now).

Yeah it's one of the best looking levels in the game.
Is the bit we saw in the trailer where you fly through the ruined city controllable, as in Mercanaries flight suit?
That mission is insanely easy.
You have infinite cloak as long as you don't turn it off. Just avoid security cameras since they can see through it.

The levels on the other side of the Berlin Wall are really good and interesting. No one thinks about what life must have been like on the other side of the Iron Curtain, and this game really nails it.
The first 3 Killzone games were basically World War II in space, and this game is basically the post-WWII period. What's most interesting is the pages of the comic cook you collect during the game. No one remembers what it was like to be on the losing side of WWII, since history is always written by the victors. But those who survived the firebombing of Dresden or the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki might have a different perspective on the events towards the end of that war.
The Terracide itself, the annihilation of Helghan, is itself a pretty direct reference to the atomic bombings.

Yep, which makes it harder.

It totally bothers me too - it's not just this game though, I feel like every major console FPS has that little problem (except maybe Halo). I don't know why.
That's been a "feature" of Killzone for a while now. Was definitely apparent in KZ3.

I tried out the Scout class + the LS70 sniper for the first time in this match, and I had some fun with it. Not really a sniper in FPS games, but I couldn't help myself here:

The gun is awesome to use. One shot kill guaranteed to any part of the body and at any range, though it is a single-shot sniper with a lengthy reload and can only be fired when zoomed in. The pros outweigh the cons, however. Definitely have the Teleport ability when you're using it.

I feel like they improved this over KZ2/3. You're viewing from chest height now instead of practically knee height.

LOL, that sniper rifle is OP. The reload and forced scope to fire seem balanced, but people are probably gonna cry for a nerf.

How come you can only switch one gun out in single player? And how do you take out the knife?
MagicWithEarvin

The LS70 isn't ideal for certain maps, IMO.

Your top gun never switches out. I don't know why either. It's a bit dumb on the levels where your top gun is a pistol, so you always use only your bottom gun.
The knife is only used for melee kills and jump down kills. You can't take it out otherwise.

This is why I don't mind linear shooters - it allows me kick back and enjoy the ride. Dead Space offers a navigation waypoint which is pretty useful when lost. I personally think all open world games should offer some kind of marker/waypoint (as an option).i always said that - that open world games are hard for me, since i dont play these games usually... but i know how people say they want open world and then they dont
For instance, there was one journalist i watched over twich, nice dude, and he mentioned something like "here, i dont know what should I do now - and in these games, i should immediately know what to do next".
So people think they want open world games but in reality all they want is linear hand holding on the rails gameplay.

That's been a continuing problem with GG's design approach. Stop trying to emulate others so much or throw together a huge bullet point list of features, just make your own thing. At least they did right with the multiplayer this time around, well other than the lack of in-game chat.

Open gameplay requires good level design for these types of games, and GG often fails to convey information. Being open in itself isn't a virtue, it needs to be well done.
Dude, I already (and many others) told you. The game is real deal.
It looks amazing. No hyperbole, no over excitement because it's a new gen, no nothing. The game looks so good that you should have no issues being satisfied by its visuals. Or any other first party PS4 game for that matter.

So I tried to make some Team Deathmatch only bot warzones just to familiarize myself with the maps and weapons, but the bots all stay in one place and never move.
Seems like you need at least one objective mission type, otherwise they just decide to stay home and lounge about.
Bots are also totally cheap with single shot sniper rifles and grenade tosses. Thinking about removing both for offline matches.

this one reminds me of The Void from Dishonored

This seems like quite an oversight for casual players. I won't necessarily be playing in a party but it doesn't mean I don't want to be able to co-ordinate. :s

I cannot get over the visuals of this game. The lighting inside the Cassandra is incredible. I found myself sending the Owl all over the place, just to watch the lighting on display.
People mentioned this with KZ2 and 3 as well but I never noticed it until Shadow Fall. Sometimes I couldn't tell if I was crouching.
