Killzone 2: The game nobody talks about or plays anymore

[QUOTE="Irick_cb"]

[QUOTE="davaniius"]

Anybody fps fan who thinks this game isn't good is in denial.

Jono789

I'm in denial about a lot of things.

Killzone 2 isn't one of of them.

I love it.

*noms quickly and runs away in fear of the heimlich.*

Wow I can't believe 4 months after this game has been out people are still so up in arms on how it can't be good. Face it people it sold well, scored well and plenty of people are playing it. Last month about 270K unique users played KZ2. 116K unique users last week.

100k a week is pretty good and there is no trouble finding a game.

I swear people act like its UT3 numbers or something. Or maybe TC is comparing the number of players to a game thats been out 10 years with multiple versions....

KZ2 is awesome I just got done playing with some friends on the new maps and they are awesome.

Seriously the amount of people online is a joke compared to COD. Killzone 2 didnt have any lasting power like the Halo's and COD's of the world because the controls are complete rubbish and its on PS3. Didnt sell very well either. It's quickly become the red headed step child of the fps genre.

Same goes for LBP. Massively hyped, sold like crap and no one plays it anymore

Because there isn't a thread or two (or a dozen) threads about Killzone 2 it must be a terrible game.

I thought he was being Sarcastic too, it was one of the "Duh" moments, it didn't seem like he could possibly be serious...If he was serious, what the?

I guess if one doesn't actually have a PS3 to check out the Online of LBP or KZ2, it's pretty easy just to type random stuff.

I never really saw the point of KZ2, it was a Sci-Fi COD4. woop te doo. Sure it was a blast but we already have CoD4, soon we will have 2. It is in an akward position ans is no where near oriinal or compelling enough to make a big impact, it's too close to FPS conventions. BoloTheGreat

What i find funny the most is the people that like the game believe there is actually something different from them consistantly blaring that the game is good...etc that its wrong for the people to claim the game is bad all the time but they do the exact same thing when they consistantly claim its good all the time.

Which group is trying harder to convince the other? neither? they both are...Its a forum people deal with it. if you dont like what people have to say then leave but making up such arguments and concepts as i don't know why your saying this..ect its just rather silly its what forums are for and system war is specifically what we do here. Stop telling me and others to stop talking badly about this game when its the same thing your doing but your talking about how good it is.

Not sure if it's true or not, but I certainly got bored of it after the first few levels. It's solid, sure, but as someone said before, it doesn't seem to have any "soul". It lacks that X factor.

At least the graphics are pretty?

The atmosphere in Helghan, the feeling you're actually in a huge conflict, the Helghast moving and taking cover trying to shoot the living hell out of you, the sound of the weapons, bombs etc, your team mates, your other allies forcing on the enemy, the great level design, the intuitive cover system, the animations, the weapons with the different feeling each give you& the amazing visuals..

Going from an area to another and be heavily attacked watching enemies and allies falling, while bombs flash through the sky and buildings get crushed, taking cover behind war-torn buildings, helping your team mates and getting a couple of bullets for them, rushing out to get the objectives etc etc

* Probable Spoiler* The final Speach from Visari & you fallen friends :(..

If all that still made you believe the game has no 'soul' and gave you the feeling it was made by a marketing dept, than I'm sorry KZ2 & other games alikeare not for you.. Still though we have to respect each others opinions, so I respect yours..

People complain too much. the game is fun, even better now with the option to ax the stupid accelerating aim. It made the game better for me and I'm having a better time the 2nd time around than I did the first. If you don't like it go play something else instead of complaining about KZ2.

i've never played it but i heard the controls are totally borked and the class system is not balanced at all it's obviously not as good as shooters on the pc/360 eitherhy4k

Nevermind, just saw a post of yours on another thread and it answered my quesiton.

wait a second...

You never played the game, but heard from other people (who most probably happen not to have played the game either) that the game is not as good as other shooters... mmm interesting..

Probably you heard from those people that till Feb 2009 they flooded SW with posts bashing the game and how it will suck only to get BADLY owned once the game started getting excellent reviews.. these same people than focused on KZ2sales, saying it flopped saleswise cause it was their last (sad) resort :)

suggestion :- get a PS3, get the game, play the game, form an opinion & then post your opinion in public forums.. usually thats the logical way on how to form views/opinions on games..

Silence MP5, with uav jammer and lightning reflex. Most of my kills are with my knife. FYI im a hermit not a lemming.

Hmmmm

that game is a good argument when talking about best graphics. period.

ppl fail to realize that best graphics can mean nothing if they're not accompanied by a great gameplay.

I love the gameplay too.

I play the game :?...I'm still in SP cause I got it recently, and I'm playing it on hard :D...I love every second of the game until now...and I'm sure as hell that MP will keep this game alive for a long time :)

why are you getting so sensitive cows? I heard from a friend who still owns a PS3 that killzone 2 had problems with controls/classes, i don't own a PS3 any more and i've never played the game so i cant comment.

regardless the complaints being made have been echoed on videogame forums everywhere, and the game is a failure that no-one plays (just like the PS3) so guerilla have obviously got something wrong

I think we're so sensitive because a couple of hours ago, people where relatively nice, civil, and neutral. We got used to it.

Don't worry.

We'll be jaded again in a hour or two.

[QUOTE="SparkyProtocol"]Could a PS3 owner tell me why you would get CoD over KZ2? I just can't see a good reason.nmaharg

I love KZ 2, Its my favorite FPS on PS3 without a doubt.

I dont have much time to play though, but I still get in a few matches a week.

killzone 2 is awesome! I don't even play call of duty anymore

Don't see why hes pathetic, he never said it was a bad game he said the controls where bad..and they are. You can call it realistic but i call it a sci-fi shooter and thus realistic controls aren't needed, there also not realistic. Reality is they tried a new control scheme to stand out and botched it. The controls on KZ2 ae a step back from games like Halo.

And the classes, again do have problems. Like spawning with a bloody rocket launcher. Like throwing two spawn grenades down and the entire match turning into spawn, die, spawn, die. Like the terribly weak turret/flying ship thing.

Hes just telling you the truth, it's your problem if you can't handle it.

As for nobody talking or playing it, well it's like that with all PS3 exclusives. They hype and hype and hype. Then when nobody buys it they shut up. Admittedly it took them a bit longer to stop rabbiting on about MGS but now the 360 is getting a superior version they've even stopped that nonsense.

PoppaGamer

why would they get upset?

this topic is about how no-one plays kz2 online, the game obviously didn't sell too well and the PS3 is one of the biggest bombs in videogame history. am i supposed to pretend this isn't the case to spare the feelings of cows?

i personally want to try the game out even though every other game i've played from guerilla has been horrible

The amount of game with 32 people in them is very high.

People need to stop comparing games to COD.

I haven't played it for a couple of weeks now, but I consider it a good game. The multiplayer is a blast and I'm not too sure about not many people being online...you could always find a match of 32 people (And this is the U.S. server.)

Cause it's not a good game.nmaharg

leonalabasters

while you can compare killzone 2 to halo for amount of people playing online because they are both on one platform, comparing it to a multiplatform established franchise like cod is just wrong.

there are plenty of people online playing killzone 2, i'm not sure how much killzone 2 sold, but i'm guessing 1-2 million worldwide. cod sold like 11 million or something ridiculous, obviously more will be playing.

it also comes down to both halo and especially cod having better online experiences, cod 4/waw online > halo3 >>>>> killzone 2 online imo.

Well.

Your console is inferior.

And my hair looks better.

These things will never change.
