Why are VGChartz looked down upon? What makes them incredible... wait that doesn't sound right.. what makes them less credible?
I don't understand why people are hyping Killzone 2. The success or failure of KZ2 will not drastically alter the SW.subrosianIf you think that it's fate won't drastically alter SW...get ready for a rude wake up call come late February.

It would not affect the outcome, but it would have an effect on the community. I think it has potential to be like Twilight Princess level outrage/ownage.
Anyways, I hope it does flop because all my favorite games this gen have been lower-scoring games. :P Nah, I don't want the game to flop. More great games equals more games to play which equals...less money... on second thought-

VGChartz is run by an extremely arrogant man who has gained unwarranted self-importance since creating the site. They take statistically questionable data and post it. Then, when it turns out they're wrong, they edit their data and delete any history of their mistake, all while claiming to be "accurate". Though they deny it, what they call "calibration" and what is, in reality, the entire source of their data, comes from stealing industry-insider sales information both from proprietary retailer systems (aka - Amazon / GameStop employees stealing company data ) and from legitimate tracking sources (such as non-public NPD data ). - VGChartz are thieves, pure and simple, and giving them ANY credit (or credibility ) in your mind is a slap in the face to people who actually want to provide LEGITIMATE data, meaningful opinions, and genuine research. Supporting VGchartz is harmful to the gaming industry, it's that simple.It's bad for shooter fans if it flops. This flops, most developers won't try to push the bar for making an FPS/shooter. If the two "best" shooters this gen continue to be Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4, FPS fans are in trouble. These games are the Wii Fit and Wii Music of the FPS games.itsGodHimSelf

Thats your opinion and its wrong. Yeah, I said that. Your opinion is wrong. I didn't think that was even possible, but then you went and did it.[QUOTE="blehblahblep"]those arent good fps games.

I think they are! :D And my opinion matters. :)
I loved Halo, and Call of Duty 4 was an enjoyable thrill ride.

Maybe they are "noob" compared to Quake 2. I don't know, I've never played a Quake title.
But Call of Duty 4 and Halo 3 were extremely fun, so regardless of how noobish the games were, they were great to me.

Unreal and Quake are so similar at times it isn't even funny. So yeah, its very much like UT, but with a better campaign. Actually wait, thats kind of unfair, since UT doesn't really come with much of a campaign to start with.Is a twitch shooter like the Unreal Tournament series? :? If so, I prefer Halo.

I have a lot of fun with UT though. Quake was good, but I never really got into its multiplayer much.

Good in what way? Campaign? Sure. While short, both campaigns were great. Halo 3 had the best in the series and COD4 was challenging. Multiplayer? Not so much. COD4 does a poor job of trying to imitate Halo 2 while having an extremely noob friendly multiplayer. Halo 3 also made it noob friendly with a hitbox the size of the Sun. (http://gameroom.mlgpro.com/view/3Vez2iWKMWw.html , its a Halo CE montage so if you can't look at poor graphics don't bother, however, if you can, watch for a few minutes where he shows how they dumbed down Halo 3)
I guess me and the other guy who quoted me are the few who actually want an FPS that's good and not casualized. Funny, because you guys cry about how people casualize your favorite genre.
quake 2 you gotta learn how to trick jump/strafe jump/rocket jumps/grenade.
and unreal tournament you gotta learn dodge jumping/wall jumps/hammer jumps
quake 2 is overall faster than unreal.
overall better deathmatch ut is would say is second best.
ut/quake arent meh but they havent done anything new to add something to the franchises/evolve it.
their mapping is actually getting worse.

There's so much utterly wrong here that I don't know where to begin :lol: First off, I'd like to know how in the hell you can compare Halo 2 to CoD4. Really. I mean you could have picked something that was... you know... at least kind of close? Or where you get the idea that the hitboxes are so outrageous... Or that everything has been "casualized"... Or where I ever said FPS was my favorite genre.... You know what. You should probably just make a new post all together. Start over.Besides making the game less of a "I has teh rockets, I am win" deathmatch? Yeah, beyond that neither series evolved at all. I mean its not like you can win a UT2k4 match with anything besides the rockets. Its impossible, I tell you.quake 2 you gotta learn how to trick jump/strafe jump/rocket jumps/grenade.

wow i disagree with alot here....if anything Halo 1 was the easiest of the 3 to be good at in terms of MP because of the over powered pistol....and all in all it completely lacked any of the balance that is Halo 3 The maps are all well designed, no one weapon is too over powered(Sword in Halo 2, Pistol in Halo 1), no vehicle is unstoppable....if anything Halo 3 was a great improvement/refinement of the Halo MP formula Halo 2 and COD 4 can't even be compared ....game sty-les are completely different. If anything both games were better MP games than SP games. and from an MP standpoint Halo 3 owns just about any console MP game IMO.....and COD 4 is the best COD mp not named COD 1 and its expansion.-Because Halo 2 was the only game to ever have matchmaking.It tried to copy it's matchmaking.
Watch the video.
It has been casualized.
I never said it was your favorite genre, I said you guys cry about how casuals have ruined your favorite genres (adventure, racing, RPG, etc.)
Maybe you should learn how to read?

-"Funny, because you guys cry about how people casualize your favorite genre. " Since we're talking about shooters, how would you interpret that?

You started off with a pistol, it's not like it was a power weapon. You were either better than your opponent or you weren't.
The sword, yes it was overpowered so I'll give you that. The length you could lunge was ridiculous. Someone made a montage and they lunged from sniper tower to BR tower (the one directly across) on Lockout. Whoever had sword basically won, there was really no skill involved in Halo 2.

That's a personal attack? Sorry, I had no idea you were so sensitive.
A personal attack would be me calling you gay Learn the difference ;)
Go back to playing your noob friendly games.
Your continuous lack of an arguement is... disappointing. I was hoping to have an actual debate, not degrade to somebody trying to tell me what a personal attack is (and at the same time make an example that is sure to offend people).

hit boxes is the only legit complain thoughI am sure GG & Sony have done their best to make sure KZ2 gets everything right and be a high quality game.... they both have put much into this project and know how much PS3/shooter fans are hyped about this game...
Obviously haters will still bash the game even if it gets great scores but thats normal.... those getting the game should just focus on enjoying it...
[QUOTE="subrosian"]I don't understand why people are hyping Killzone 2. The success or failure of KZ2 will not drastically alter the SW.TREAL_SinceIf you think that it's fate won't drastically alter SW...get ready for a rude wake up call come late February. Why? MGS4 won GOTY, and all we got were a bunch of people whining on a forum. The PS3's sales were down 19% year-over-year in November according to NPD, while the 360 and Wii were both up (with the Wii setting the November sales record ). An FPS releasing outside of the strong holiday sales period is unlikely to have significant impact one way or another on the "fate" of the console.
-
Some people seem to be betting on KZ2 being "the PS3's Halo", but frankly that's quite a leap-of-faith to make. There have been countless solid titles that haven't become system-selling blockbusters, that "spark" of mega-popularity is rare.
-
So, I can't see KZ2 really altering the course of the SW significantly. If it fails to meet expectations, oh well. If it succeeds, great, the PS3 has another solid game to add to its library. Either way, sure, we'll see massive whining on the forums, but that's only because people are investing a ridiculous amount of time and energy on the success of something they have absolutely no control over.

LMFAO!
in quake 2 i used to have times where i would only be obsessed with one weapon like the super shotgun and only use that would or the railgun.
i could win with any weapon.
the rocket doesnt dominate the other weapons
hasnt in ut either.
flak alternate shot is good against rocket users and primary.
or the shock rifle ....shock ball/explosion combo.
You're all going to have to go into hiding if it flops after hyping it for so long.Parasomniac^^This. (at least for the cows) ^^
