Do we hate Halo Wars and Killzone 2 before they are even released?

Halo Wars for the Xbox 360 and Killzone 2 for the PS3 are set to be released in the next few weeks. Halo Wars has mixed reviews thus far, but gamers at metacritic have taken a special dislike to it, and while Killzone 2 has racked up great reviews, gamers might be a bit hesitant about it.

nope just you and haters of the other consoles.

Monchichi0256310d ago

...is either stupid or INCREDIBLY uninformed. Doesn't every gamer know that these low scores are just because of fanboy war?? I mean it is Obvious!!

Both games look great and fanboys from the opposite site are just afraid of the other sucseeding!

I only have a PS3 but am considering getting a 360 in the near future, so you'll hear no badmouthing from me. While I shall always favour the Sony system (I played my sister's Xbox for a few weeks prior to purchasing my own console), I certainly see the advantage of having access to all systems and all exclusives.

I WILL defend a console and it's games that I consider good (KILLZONE 2 for example) against the buffoons eager to score cheap points, but never at the expense of a 'rival' system.

chaosatom6310d ago

Which one will sell more? or

Which one will get better reviews? or

Which one is a better Exclusive?

edgeofblade6310d ago

Actually, I expected more of Killzone 2 and less of Halo Wars. After the demos, those expecations flipped completely. HW is the day one buy now. KZ2 is the rent.

I predict 24 disagrees or more in an hour.

GWAVE6310d ago (Edited 6310d ago )

It's groupthink. It's a "my console versus your console" mentality. It's what some insecure gamers succumb to when their Gamerscore (or Trophy score, or...Friend Code) isn't big enough.

It doesn't help when journalists join in on the party. It helps even less when executives of the companies in question join in, too.

That's one thing I respect about Sony and Nintendo. They don't sling mud. They just pump out games. Some users here might hate me for saying this, but Microsoft executives are just as bad as their fanboys. They have no respect for the competition and jump at any chance to spew garbage about the "other" console.

"The Fanboy War"

-Like the Iraq War, only with geeks, spin and pixelated weaponry.

I hated Halo. It was the most overhyped game I ever played. But Halo Wars looks like a very decent RTS game for a console. I love RTS games and hate the iffy selection us console-owners are usually lumped with.

Killzone 2 looks immense. I loved the demo (bit short though) and think I'll be playing it regularly as of next week!

edgeofblade6310d ago

I think GWAVE hears only what he wants to hear. Sony hands are just as dirty as Microsoft's. In fact, I usually see Sony casting the first clod.

And yes, Nintendo seems to be above reproach, but you are naive if you think Microsoft is the only guilty party here.

Those who started the whole metacritic "war" are idiots and those who think it was a good idea to "strike back" are even bigger idiots.

Im 100% sure a lot of people on N4G participated in this thing...you guys know who you are but will never have the guts to admit it.Those idiotic fanboys arent only out there but on our dear N4G too.

Anyway who cares , I dont think anyone checks the metacritic score before buying a game...I hope

jcgamer6310d ago

bubbles on the house for this momentous occasion!

lol :)

Surfman6310d ago

youre right, before buying a game, people should just check the trailers to get their own first impression, and if they need a better idea, well there's 3 or 4 good reviewers on the net, like IGN. For the rest, its personnal.

Stubacca6310d ago

But Metacritic is still a great service. I ignore the User Score but love getting a breakdown of the reviews. I'd love to judge games by trailers but I'm always let down (cough LOTR: Conquest cough)

Hallucinate6310d ago

k dont know what thid articles saying but i think i agree with it

Johnny Rotten6310d ago

To hate a game just because of what system it's on isn't really fair to the devs. There's nothing wrong with being a fan of a certain system but when it comes to the games themselves you need to give credit where it's due.

Kleptic6310d ago

just an oversight on metactritic's part...they now don't allow user reviews until a game releases, which before they did...which was completely retarded, as it confirmed that EVERY user review was submitted by someone that had not played the game...

even then its still stupid...it should have some form of proof that you have played the entire game...which is impossible right now...so whatever...

MrJack6310d ago

Everyone knows about this 'Metacritic war'

The Xbox fanboys knocked down Killzone 2's score, whilst the PS3 fanboys absolutely owned the Halo Wars score.

edgeofblade6310d ago

Get it right. It started further back than that. Halo 3, Resistance 2, Haze, Gears 2... the stupidity never ends.

Why Guerrilla Games Shouldn't Abandon the Killzone Series

Hugely disappointingly, it seems that Guerrilla Games, developers of the Killzone and Horizon series, may be done with Killzone for good.

1 was fine, overhyped as a " halo" killer
2 was a graphical beast at the time, and felt heavy
3 was good a refinement of 2 but not much else. weird audio issues environment were to quiet
shadow fall was pretty but bland

OtterX585d ago (Edited 585d ago )

Shadowfall had great Multiplayer though. Too bad the campaign was meh at best. It did have the occasional great moment sprinkled in.

TheNamelessOne585d ago (Edited 585d ago )

I played through 2/3 multiple times. I played through the original once, but it felt pretty lukewarm for me. I couldn't be bothered to beat Shadow Fall. I got a couple hours in and just went "I'm done". Never touched it again. It was awesome on the tech side, being a launch title, but it didn't even match up to the first game when it came to actually having fun playing it.

Rude-ro585d ago

3 in 3d was an amazing experience to be had.
Although not many experienced it as intended for good reasons.

just_looken585d ago

You forgot the ai advancements on the playstation 2 killzone one you could have a full team of bots doing everything even playing the objective that was a big thing.

In killzone 2 they always flanked you and when available used the high ground.

Playing killzone 2 no hud 5.1 audio was/is awesome

MDTunkown585d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72585d ago

I dont mind if someone else takes up the mantle for the KZ franchise. We are several years removed from the first game. It certainly could use a remake to gauge interest in the rest of the series. I know it has its fans... Im thinking of how a proper reboot can rekindle that old dormant flame and bring in a new generation of fans in the process.

just_looken585d ago

You forgot killzone mercenaries on the ps vita but it was the worst selling sony game for awhile there.

Yui_Suzumiya585d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast585d ago

They should let it go or sell it. No use spending millions on this project.

LucasRuinedChildhood585d ago

Would like a new IP before Horizon 3. Just because games take so long to make these days.

PlayStation 3 Games That Desperately Need a PS5 Remaster

The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.

Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!

Rude-ro814d ago

I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.

darthv72814d ago

Funny you mention that... my son wanted to play some PS3 games in 3d on my PS tv and he was blown away by how good KZ3 was. It really was a great addition to the game. Im surprised there have not been more 3d games from that era being ported to the PSVR/VR2.

_SilverHawk_814d ago

resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword

Cacabunga814d ago

Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm
Modnation racer
Infamous 1+2

Profchaos814d ago (Edited 814d ago )

Killzone trilogy in VR would be amazing bonus points if they offer shadow fall.

There was a psvr1 Killzone project that supermassive was working on at one stage which wasn't up to scratch and Sony brand it back in house I was hoping we would see that on psvr2 eventually.

Personally I'd love to see some more love or acknowledgement of psvr2 from Sony in general it was a expensive headset and Sony barely acknowledge it's existence

seanpitt23814d ago

The amount of work needed to remaster these games wouldn't be beneficial on a financial and business sense.. MGS4 would probably be the best bet as it would need the least amount of work!

Iceball2000814d ago

YEAAASSSSS! I miss this franchise and wanna play it so bad again.

Father__Merrin814d ago

The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer

InUrFoxHole814d ago

The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.

Marcus Fenix814d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989814d ago

That's what Bungie should make, Ill keep saying it until it happens

1Victor814d ago (Edited 814d ago )

Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱

Michiel1989814d ago

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2
