I played it and it didn't impress me. Hasen't anyone ever realized that graphics arn't everything?

I refuse to call it AAA, and i implore anyone who has played it to do the same.

Come on, it's a 9. Would you prefer if I'd call the game 8.9? I disagree, I think the score is good (which is just a number anyway)....

I agree.

Technically its a marvel.But I've got to wonder what GG were doing for almost 5 years?!!

The single player is far too short and cliche,with nothing close to what you'd call a memorable story or characters.And yes innovation isn't every thing,but would it have hurt GG to have spent some of the reported $60 million budget deveoping some new gameplay ideas? Seriously :?

Its saved from medicocrity by the MP quite frankly.

A poor opinion that pretty much goes against all the reviews. Not to mention KZ2 isn't just about great graphics. That's just icing on the cake

There are new gameplay ideas. First person cover? New multiplayer mode, that will become the standard in all FPS games? Or do those not count?

Graphics aren't everything but they help... a lot. Great physics and AI help too. I think the idea for the game is cool but the writing is just awful, even worse than Gears. Even with KZ2's crappy writing and lack of originality, its still a 9 easily.

I find that it causes fasciculation when played on 42" of plasma goodness and 5.1 surround sound.

The cover system thing is debateble.There have been cover sytems in FPS's in the past,although,I suppose,not like KZ2's.

And about the MP,well as far as I can see GG cherry-picked all the best stuff from COD4 and TF2 and added a few ideas of their own.Very little genuine innovation there imo.

Cows give this game too easy a ride imo.Like HL2,this game should have moved the genre forward ,given the recouses that were thrown at it.

I don't think it's triple A either. I own it. The campaign is exciting, but nothing special. 8.5/10 there. The online is exciting, but gets old VERY quickly, as you'll realize that the deadzone on the controller is just terrible after playing for a few days and then trying CoD again. 8.0/10 there. I'd give an 8.6 or 8.7, but it's really nothing too amazing.

anyone who claims killzone2 has better graphics than gears of war has no idea what they are talking about. http://image.gamespotcdn.com/gamespot/images/2008/196/928377_20080715_screen001.jpg See that killzone2 shot? look at the wall texture behind the dude 90% of all killzone2 textures are flat like that. there's a few good but most like that. killzone2 isnt even in same league texturing wise as gears of war.

The more I play it, the more I tend to think that yes, it is mostly about graphics. The visual fidelity is top tier, but the gameplay mechanics and level design aren't better than what's available in other shooters.

Overall, still and excellent game and a must-have for any PS3 owner that likes shooters. But only time will tell if Killzone 2 has the legs to stand the test of time.

If you want to talk graphics why don't you just find one of the other 100 graphics threads about KZ2? Oh that's right because they all end in the conclusion KZ2 is better.

People have every right to not like KZ but somehow I have a feeling that he didn't play it or played about 20 seconds at a friends house.

to rate MGS4 a 1.0 you must have no idea what you are on about. I think this thread is an extention of this.

I thought it was really good.

The level design is good with interesting battles. The story has a twist with the enemies for once not being aliens, but mostly human, and for once, your the big invading force. Which almost makes you the evil invaders???

I love it, I love the online. I can easily call it AAA.

Its ok not to like the game, but its hard to make a real, discussion out of this thread because youve given no reason for why you dont like it. Which makes me wonder if this is just a poor attempt at flamebait...

You obviously havent even played Killzone 2, posting screenshots.... The graphics in the game are more than just textures. Its the whole effect it creates. There is so much going on. Dust in the air blowing in the wind. Amazing lighting. Particle effects.

Gears has its share of bad textures too.

You just see a blank space or something? Check out your settings in whatever browser your using, or the preferences on gamespot itself., if you can see it when you quote then you should be able to see it on the forum too, atleast i'd imagine so.

every gamespot screenshot i can pick out more bad textures in killzone2 shots than gears of war proving gears of war texture quality as a whole is overall higher quality. the main points epicgames created unreal engine 3 for was to be good at streaming high res textures. Sorry alittle bit of motion blur/grain filter doesnt make killzone2 graphics king.

It's been like this for a while, not too sure how to fix it. I don't see peoples avatars either, or alot of sigs for that matter. It's not my browser though, it's this account.

True. God forbid a game have good gameplay as well as good graphics :roll:
