To Those Who Accuse Killzone of Being Generic

Killzone (especially nr.2) is very unique, and the only FPS i thoroughly enjoyed. Can't stand "twitch-shooters" like Halo or COD (when they changed to modern warfare).

I think when people say "generic" they mean something along the lines of "boring" and "bland".

Killzone 2 was great. I love slow paced shooters. Killzone 3, on the other hand, was very uninspiring.

No.

Over 100,000 concurrent players were playing Halo 3 every day in 2009 and it was even out popping MW2 so I don't think any console FPS gamer gave a single sht about Killzone and it showed with its population count. Cows love to praise it simply because it's on the Playstation.

How the hell is Halo a twitch shooter?

Indeed. The multiplayer was very enjoyable.

KZ2's multiplayer was simpler and better than KZ3's imo.

I think its just another word for saying that they dont like that particular game.

1.Dead Rising an average game at best original was 8.4 here.

2.Fable really.? Last one sucked hard from what i remember.

3.Titanfall is not exclusive You can even play it on your 360 or even PC.

4.That another game that now sits at the 80+ club,the last halo game wasn't that good and it was drop by its user base faster than any other halo ever,since Bungie left Halo would probably not be the same.

Halo again..

XBL was and still is a stinking rip off and the only thing it has over PSN is party chat which now is also gone since on PS4 there is party chat even cross platform with PC and Vita.

PSN+ >>>>>> Live..

You like the idea of Kinect because you are a lemming,i know for fact that if Kinect wasn't there and the xbox one was $399 or lower i would at least make a sacrifice and get one.

not sure if srs

name me one game that is as similar as ryse?

You play as a random general, "Marius", in charge of the Roman army and you command your soldiers through Kinect, not to mention all those quick time events. I don't see anything intriguing about it....

Because Killzone does nothing except copy CoD, Halo, Half-Life, etc. It's the "me, too!" FPS. For Christ's sake, they added Gears of War's Horde Mode in the next Killzone game...

The whole concept is very unique It's a blockbuster gladiator game there's nothing like it in the market right now, I applaud Crytek for at-least trying to do something different and not follow the norm of angry jacked bald headed space marine FPS.

Blockbuster? That's hilarious.

Did you know there is already a gladiator like game for PS3? It's called Spartacus Legends. It's crappy but it's also F2P like Ryse. And just because something is different it doesn't mean it's interesting.

Just because you dont perceive it to be interesting doesnt mean it isnt.

I really like that game, but it is generic.

Why do people try to argue that fact?

Fans should advertise what it IS, and embrace that instead of constantly trying to convince people that it's an entirely revolutionary experience.

YOU generate criticism, where you could be selling a property with a very clean direct summary.

It's a GENRE, SCI-FI military shooter would probably get more players than revolutionary game like you've never played before.

But can you really say it's forgettable if it was so forgettable to the point that you remember it every time something forgettable happens, which would then make it pretty, you know, memorable.

That's why i said "to me".

True words were spoken. xD

Could I say it is a "generic criticism"?

It's the same as COD, BF, Halo,... other fps's.

What's really sad is that everyone who dislikes an Xbox game is now a Sony fan.

I would argue that Killzone 'was' the most unique shooter on the market.

It initially started out with a trench warfare and cover/covert mechanic. (although I seriously doubt most people here played the first one)

Over time they've yielded to the run-and-gun mechanic that's 'generic' in FPS today.

I actually like that a person can't turn 180 degrees and shot back instantly, if you get the drop on them.

I may be the only person who wants the series to go back to it's KZ1/2 roots.

@StormyJoe: Never played Killzone 2? The game is literally nothing like those games you mentioned. Never played 3's MP, but same thing with it's SP.

Generic is a term thrown around way too much around here. That said Killzone has always lacked imagination compared to other shooters. It's always followed the trends set by other shooters and hasn't really done much to set itself apart. From the art to the characters and then the general gameplay, nothing stands out about the series. It's not bad. Killzone 2 and 3 were above average games with good graphics for their respective platform but they weren't remarkable in any way and were quickly forgotten.

Shadow Fall looks pretty much the same as the last two. Very pretty graphics but completely unremarkable in pretty much every single way.

Borezone, KZ1 was ok KZ2 mp was good other than that the series sucks arse.

This is a very good point, I am always feeling that the series has something off about it, it looks great, feels great but overall it isn't extraordinary at anything (gfx aside)

Anyway, KZ:SF looks the best out of all the previous KZ games so I am really optimistic about it.

wasnt Killzone 2 that first brought the lean and peek system, and KZ3 brought the sliding and melee animation?

When people say generic they mean boring.

I accuse it of being dull.

Killzone 2 at least had nothing that compelled me to keep playing the second I started having problems progressing when that sort of miniboss guy was introduced. Started wondering why I'd want to keep retrying that part until I got it right, and I didn't have an answer. Was so meh'd by that experience I got KZ3 years ago for $5 and still haven't taken the disc out of the case. Just seems like more of what KZ2 was doing.

Shadow Fall seems like it might be a step up.

Ive never understood this notion. I've always thought 3 was as good as 2 besides the menu design.

I wouldnt call halo fast paced and battlefield being realistic? lol.

People who are jealous of the games world class pedigree resort to name calling like that. Ignore them and enjoy the greatness that is awaiting you TC.

I have the last 2 killzones, i wanted so bad to like the game, but i didnt, its a matter of taste, a lot of ppl love the game :) . The fist 10 minutes its like "this is great" and then... meh.

Not generic, just not really fun.

Who cares, it's crap anyways. Hell GG never made a good game in their entire career.

Thats your opinion though. If I said the same thing about a Nintendo franchise you're crazy about, youd call me wrong. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but Killzone and other Sony shooters get way more crap than they should.

i don't understand what other shooters like Halo, Battlefield, and COD does that could be considered unique. I think other shooters just have more marketing behind it and that makes us all think they're better or more significant. The only shooter that has any sort of imagination is the Bioshock series. It can be argued that other series I mentioned above are just as unimaginative.

Isn't it assumed its my opinion? Did it bother you so much you needed to point out what was rather obvious from the get go? Everyone is free to hate on what I like all they want. For me? Meh, KZ is not really fun or interesting.

"It isn't generic because the guns aren't the same".

What a generic argument.

Every single FPS is generic. Even Half Life and BioShock Infinite felt generic. The word has lost its meaning by now

As unique as Call of Duty.

No, It actually want assumed and it didn't bother me at all. A lot of posters here hate on Killzone, Resistance, and other Sony shooters and have never played them. I thought you were another poster doing the same. If not, my mistake.

The art is generic. The soundtrack is generic. Its just a run of the mill series really with NOTHING to set it apart other than the fact its playstation exclusive, therefore cows cream themselves over it.

And before you say thats the same with Halo - its not. Halo gained hype for good reason, before it was even an Xbox game.

Halo, CoD and Battlefield have all had a big impact on the FPS genre. Killzone has not. Guerilla struck lucky with 2, but even that suffered from crappy characters, crappy story and crappy level design.

@tormentos:

Just about what i would of said. Thanks

343 has came out and called their own selfs out on halo 4 mistakes.

Oh hell no, troll all you want but KZ3's soundtrack was awesome.

As a veteran, cod or bf or any shooter, is anything but realistic. KZ is a great series. Love the psp, vita iterations, kz2,3. The first was meh.

KIllzone 2 was active until its sequel came out. What are you talking about?
