InvaderGamer Review: Killzone 2

InvadeGamer:

"If cheap multiplayer is what you like, then you have a gem of a game. I put up with it for 15 hours after clearing the single player. There were only around four games out of 100 that I didn't have a bad Kill/Death ratio. Much of that I believe was due to the game's cheap methods. Again, why can one guy one-shot me with a shotgun from far away, but I have to shoot someone three times with a shotgun up-close? No reason. BUT, despite the fact that the multiplayer is terrible, not entertaining and cheap … it is there for those who like to deal with unfair multiplayer bullshit."

anyone who sucks at games shouldn't be reviewing them and reviewing a game a month and a half after its release after people have honed their skills ( like me :-P ) online isn't really wise especially for a game that isn't noob friendly , your review = Fail

jromao6255d ago

and we get this kind of crap around.

BRG90006255d ago

I often stand up for each reviewer's right to an opinion, but this guy just sucks at the game, and felt so frustrated that he wrote a blog "review" to vent. This is pretty pathetic.

BattleAxe6255d ago

This reviewer is the type that should be reviewing Super Mario Bros or Noby Noby Boy.

thor6255d ago

My favourite quote - "when they move you have to reaim again". This was a complaint of his. lol. I suppose he wants it to aim for him? Or for the enemies to stand still?

Does this guy not realise that the SAME NUMBER of people do well at any given game? If a game is difficult, it's difficult for everyone. KPD always evens out - if one person gets a kill, that's a death for the person they killed. If this guy is experiencing lag (as it seems), he should try joining different servers. It is laggy sometimes and that can cause some of the problems. If he keeps getting owned by shotgun noobs, he should clearly keep his distance and take it more slowly! Shotguns aren't 1-shot kills at mid-range so either 2 people shot him at once, the one guy got a headshot, or it was laggy.

badz1496254d ago

is this even a REAL review? the 1st sentence gave it all! I mean the stupidity of the reviewer, of course!! cheap? unfair? something like the host advantage in Gears, right? pfft...and he called himself a reviewer? he's not reviewing, but rather TROLLING! I'm not going to give this review a hit because he's clearly a moron looking for cheap hits!

SL1M DADDY6254d ago

He admits he sucked at the game and then writes a poor review. I think it is obvious what this truly is...

Waaaaaaaah!

I can't play the game properly so it must suck.

Go fellate a gun barrel, you waste of life. Get the fack off the internet.

redsquad6255d ago

Actually, while I do love the game, I've noticed the same imbalance in online gunplay. Someone can take me down with a shotgun from the other side of Radac Academy square with a single shot, yet I can hit them up close with the same weapon three times and they scurry off to safety. I'm NOT CRAP!! I can see the blood splatter from my gun impacts so I know I'm hitting them, yet they remain unphased.

Another example: I'll strafe up frome chest to chin with an assault rifle and the same happens: I see the blood and the character flinches, but they run past me and *pop pop*, two shots and I'm dead (from full health too)
I don't know what's going on, but it dulls the experience.
Like I said, I love the game and keep playing. I don't think I'm rubbish as I made the top 1% for a while.

table6255d ago (Edited 6255d ago )

i know what you mean but generally there are no problems. its the same with all online games though e.g. cod hit detection with sniper, mgo hit detection with headshots etc...

It was probably me owning this guy online that made him so upset hehe.

redsquad6255d ago

I must admit that KZ2 is my first real commitment to an online game (Ever!) so for me these problems are 'new'. If it's a typical situation for most online playing then fair enough.

But of course, that makes this review even more unforgivable because, as a 'games journalist', he should know better. At least my defense is that I'm just plain ignorant!!!;)

DaTruth6255d ago (Edited 6255d ago )

The lag is visually unnoticeable, but it is actually there and if someone looks to be directly in front of you they may actually be a little to the left and you actually just clipped them with your shot. They likely got you square in the head and that's why you go down quicker. I've had guys look like they are three meters away from me, but they hit me with a melee, that's just the way it works!

But Killzone2 does have the least lag of online games except for R2 and Warhawk.

Oh yeah, to the writer of this review, you just suck at the game and had you bothered to put more time into it you would probably enjoy it.

na2ru16255d ago

I learnt this when COD4 revealed this sort of delay on death replays. I am always 2 steps behind on the opponent's/replay screen.

In some games I have played, Halo 1 on PC in particular, you had to lead your aim i.e shoot slightly ahead of the opponent. that triggered hit detection. I think Killzone2 is the same. aim slightly ahead. I still use the assault rifle.

Avenged Sevenfold6255d ago

Wow. I read the review and all it sounded like was a fanboy rant that obviously sucks at a game. There is no way this deserves a 2/5. 4/5 at the least with very good reasons why. These sorts of jealous people really tick me off.

Zeus Lee6255d ago

Thanks,already messaging a Mod to take this trash down!

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

OtterX575d ago (Edited 575d ago )

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

TheNamelessOne575d ago (Edited 575d 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-ro575d ago

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

just_looken574d 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

MDTunkown575d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72575d 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_looken574d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya574d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast575d ago

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

LucasRuinedChildhood575d 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-ro804d ago

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

darthv72804d 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_804d ago

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

Cacabunga804d ago

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

Profchaos803d ago (Edited 803d 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

seanpitt23803d 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!

Iceball2000804d ago

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

Father__Merrin804d ago

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

InUrFoxHole804d ago

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

Marcus Fenix804d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989804d ago

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

1Victor804d ago (Edited 804d 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 😱

Michiel1989804d ago

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

Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.

1Victor1108d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1108d ago

Same. They nailed it with Horizon. The trouble is I also want a new Killzone! Can't I just have it all?!

jznrpg1107d ago

I’m with you I want Horizon 3 , Killzone and new IPs

badz1491107d ago

I have yet to play Burning Shores as I just started Forbidden West (bought at launch, just unwrapped last weekend LOL) and playing on PS5.

man...I still can't believe the graphics especially now I'm playing it on my LG OLED. that graphics and with stable performance backing it up, GG really is the master of their craft!

Vengeance11381108d ago

32.7M sales in the Horizon franchise! With 8.4M coming from Forbidden West alone! Truly a hugely successful game and franchise as a whole. Looking forward to Horizon III

Shane Kim1108d ago

That's kind of a huge drop though. It's only been two games.

VersusDMC1108d ago

One year after realease HZD sold 7.6 million.

https://www.noobfeed.com/ne...

So not a drop off.

Unless you're saying a HFW should have sold as much now as HZD sold in 5 years?

Vengeance11381108d ago

It's been 3 games, this includes Call of the Mountain. Also no, its a great improvement over HZD.

solideagle1108d ago

lol you are comparing:

HZD: 28 February 2017 - May 2023 (6 years+)

HFW: 18 February 2022 - May 2023 (1 year+)

We will see if it surpass original number.

Phoenix761108d ago

@shane, 2 full main games, 2 DLC add ons, 1 VR spin off game, oh and a an official LEGO set.
Not too bad for an ip that's only been on market for 6 years

REDGUM1107d ago

Wow, very impressive. I didn't know the numbers were so high for Forbidden West. Still playing through it myself

thesoftware7301108d ago (Edited 1108d ago )

Yooo, when I first saw that Killzone 1 footage at E3, my friends my brothers and I were like, Holy shit! When it came out, it didn't look exactly like it, but we sunk so many hours into 1 & 2.

I even liked Killzone: SF, it was a spectacle to look at, and even today it looks good. I hope they make a new one. Can you imagine how that will look, and they can get some modern FPS pointers from Bungie.

blacktiger1107d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1108d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

The Decima Engine is absolute 🔥 I'm just mad they have abandoned Killzone.

OzzY-waZZy1108d ago (Edited 1108d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1108d ago

They are probably working on mutiple projects. One of them is Horizon 3, but another is a multiplaer game and probably somehting else.

Imalwaysright1108d ago

There were rumours that they were working on a Socom reboot.
