Why are the forums filled with Kz2 fail threads? Why was it hyped when Kz1 was just ok? Has everyone lost their minds?

After 5 years of extreme hype yes, it was supposed to be perfect. Good news is that in part it delivered and ended as a great game.

No, it was never "supposed" to be perfect. Nobody, with any common sense, thought it as such. Most people looking forward to it, just wanted it to be a good game, because of every other fan boy pretty much saying it would fail, and that it was a piece of crap, because of KZ1. I think most people are glad it turned out as a pretty damn good game.

It's an exclusive, and it's a shooter. That automatically equals AAA hype.

There are 2 sides to the Killzone 2 story.

1) There first is the ungodly levels of hype and rediculous claims by cows about its graphics, better than any other graphics, cannot be done on any other system. They are the ones who hyped the game far too much.

2) Then you get the haters who bash Killzone 2 for anything positive. They will attack the game and focus just on its weakspots while ignoring the fact that its a very good shooter.

The reality is that its between those 2 points of view. Its a damn good first person shooter, with some of the best highest production values and polish a game can be given. It looks stunning and credit should go to the developers considering the art of the game, the imagination and vision they had! Sure its not the most innovative game but there is no rule that says a good game 'has' to be!

It is what it is...an AAAE

It was just ULTRA hyped FPS. if anyone were to answer BEFORE RELEASE what KZ 2 would sell in 1 week, all would say 1 million - 1.5 million, LOL. But it sold 300k only in February, which means that it earned the sales flop status, and thats not compared to anything else

Its a good game, although in my opinion less enjoyable than COD4. But its not a failure by any means. PS3 owners should be happy with the game. I just hope GG releases some game modes. I dont know what it is, but something is missing from making this game a great one IMO. But like i said, it is a really good game. An 8.5-9 IMO.

Please quit just showing 2 days worth of NA sales already to try to bash a game. There is more to this world than just NA. I guess it didn't flop with anything else so I guess your just flinging on to what little flopage you can try to bring up about KZ2, so have at it lol.

I think people tend to think about games just being fun, which some are fun for different reasons. Like cod4 is just fun, hop in and do some fraging. While KZ2 is fun but fun in being competitve just like Socom. So alot of people just aren't going to take to it and its style so easily. When I was all into Socom, it was great just to throw cod4 in every once in a while for those reasons. Sometimes you just need that overall fun factor and not to feel like your at a job sight. Same can be said about KZ2, which does not make it from not being fun, its just different.

K2 probably sold best in NA though, i dont know with K2, it depends what sony wanted the game to sell i have a feeling they were looking for gears numbers but maybe they werent regardless we cant say whether its a flop or success however selling the amount of units it did in 2 days is not shabby at all.

It needs a hardcore mode. This is what makes me go back to COD for my online fix.

Actually don't know the numbers but Sales in Europe was definitly alot better than NA in those 2 days though. So just stating NA sales in trying to bash the game though is just crazy when it did sale in other parts of the world aswell. Also I don't think 300k in 2 days is bad either. Its just the fact that people think all games is suppose to sell like WOW or Halo is just crazy. If that was the case then Gaming in general would be history cause those kind of sales don't just happen or just don't happen to everything out there.

it's generic,however I have to admit that Kz2 is a fun game,and a very polished run of the mill shooter.the story and dialogue is horrendous though.

A. Don't make threads about threads.

B. I'd appreciate it if you didn't insinuate that people who hyped a game have "lost their minds".
