Cant stand the controls personally

thereapersson5493d ago

I'll respect that. Doesn't mean it's a true opinion that the controls suck, but you are entitled to your viewpoint.

Pixelated_Army5493d ago (Edited 5493d ago )

@Sanii

You have to tweak the sensitivity settings to your liking and get used to the new mechanics. After a couple of days of gameplay you won't even notice the difference. And sharpen up your skills in botzone before jumping into the MP.

This game requires a bit more skill than COD to play so don't think that you're just going to walk in and dominate. I got my ass handed to me on more than one occasion but I still had fun. : )

deadreckoning6665493d ago (Edited 5493d ago )

I had the same problem. Just lower your sensitivity down to 2 or 3. The controls are good IMO, there not on the level of Bad Company 2, but their still easy to get used to.

Btw, ur viewpoint is in the minority on N4G, but in the real world, I've had teammates on three seperate occassions say that they preferred KZ2's controls. Your opinion is indeed valid.

BlackKnight5493d ago

When you say you don't like the controls. Do you means button arrangement, sensitivity or does it lag like the first game?

And when I say lag, I don't mean the "weight" of the animation and such, I mean the delay of turn or even pulling the trigger (which should be instant). The lag in KZ2 controls is what killed it for me.

I'll see once I am off work and try the beta. I was just REALLY hoping the laggy controls are gone. I'm hoping man, I'm hoping!

louievillalobos5494d ago

Have you played this one online? The controls were tightened a bit and you can always just pick the COD mapped controls. That what I use.

dizlaoboi9165493d ago

Oh em gee I love killzone. I can't wait to get killzone 3

louievillalobos5493d ago

Did you like the multiplayer from the first one? This one is an upgraded version of that.

SuperbVillain5493d ago

question.....how come frozen dam is the only map available...i thought a new map was going to be introduced?

louievillalobos5493d ago

You in the beta? I haven't downloaded that yet. What I wrote was from the full-game after Sony made a few multiplayer sessions available.

There are a couple snow levels in the full game.

SuperbVillain5493d ago

yeah,it took me 10 minutes to d/l (thank god for comcast cable!) the other Beta i had 3 maps,this one only has 1,oh well maybe they'll give em to us as the days go by? I hope I win the limited limited edition!

eterry5493d ago

ha my download time is over 3 hrs and im only at 65% haha :(

Biggest5493d ago

Dial-up is a hell of a drug.

nano885493d ago

Its good but not impressive that's just me

louievillalobos5493d ago

That's cool. What about it didn't you like? Too much like the first?

BlackKnight5493d ago (Edited 5493d ago )

Geeze so many disagrees. How do you disagree when he is clearly saying he wasn't impressed? Are you saying "I disagree, I think you WERE impressed!" It's not like he was saying the graphics suck or something. This community sucks... :(

There's too many games to choose from

No Metal geat solid 1,2,3,4?
No Resident evil?
No Silent hill?
No Midnight club 3?
No NfS Underground 2?
No Final Fantasy?
No Burnout 3?
No Dragon quest 8?
No Days gone?
No Ace combat?
No Tekken/Soul calibur?......
just from the top of my head

PS1 era was full of great RPGs, PS2 was racing generation i would pick top 200 and even that would be just a fraction.

FinalFantasyFanatic449d ago

30 is way too low over the entire history of Playstation, I just wouldn't be able to narrow it down that much, I would pick 100 at least.

Storm23449d ago

Yeah...really odd list. I get that it is personal preference and I love most of the games listed, but my list would definitely be different. I agree though, it would be incredibly difficult to come up with just 30.

lockedongamer1449d ago (Edited 449d ago )

I only picked first-party titles. Otherwise, I agree!

EDIT: Except for Days Gone, I don't get the love for it but you do you!

Chocoburger440d ago

I didn't like Days Gone either, it doesn't deserve to be on any best of list.

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

1Victor1015d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1015d ago

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

jznrpg1015d ago

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

badz1491015d 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!

Vengeance11381015d 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 Kim1015d ago

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

VersusDMC1015d 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?

Vengeance11381015d ago

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

solideagle1015d 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.

Phoenix761015d 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

REDGUM1015d ago

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

thesoftware7301015d ago (Edited 1015d 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.

blacktiger1015d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1015d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1015d ago (Edited 1015d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1015d ago

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

Imalwaysright1015d ago

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

Killzone 3 is playable with mouse & keyboard on PC via RPCS3 & KAMI

Still looks secure 2 gens later... one of my favorite ps3 moments. With 3D and move the game is on another level

MadLad1766d ago

PC almost always ends up the best place to play games, even if it takes a while.

What would you rather play decades down the line? A game at a fixed resolution and frame, considering you have a working disc, and the hardware?
Or run it on an emulator that can update the experience all around, and let you use whatever control input you prefer?

If you insist on the former, it's really only for the sake of nostalgia.

Applejack1766d ago

I disagree. The main draw for consoles has always be the simplicity of just putting the disc in / downloading it and playing without worrying about anything else. The average person just wouldn’t want to deal with emulation even though it’s very important for preservation.

Terry_B1766d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1766d ago

Youre getting flak because people on here thibk of themselves as pc wizards. But honestly most poeple try and go get emulators and romz they end up with malware.. yes theyre "easy" if you know the basics but alot of people dont. That said the fact that its taken nearly 20 years to get a sustantially better experience for ps3 games than on its native system shows the complexity of getting bc to work. Sony, if they have any intention, should just invest in a vastly better psnow experience.

Vegamyster1766d ago

jukins

Most people who emulate don't get malware, you'd have to be going to some weird sites for that to happen, heck years ago people were getting sketchier ad's resulting in malware warning on this site if you didn't have a ad-blocker lol.

SinkingSage1766d ago

Can't get malware if you legally dump your own games, which you should.

Rachel_Alucard1766d ago (Edited 1766d ago )

That's fine if that's the main draw, but it doesn't make it a better experience, just a preference. Having the freedom to do the things you can do on PC is what the appeal of PC is. Buying a game on PC means you never have to worry about the console makers just deciding the next hardware shouldn't support the generation anymore, which means everything you bought is stuck on that hardware instead of moving up with everything else. Nintendo uses this tactic to keep reselling the same games over and over at inflated prices. Sony cut all previous gens off the PS4 and sold it back to people in a poor attempt with PSnow. While the PS5 supports PS4 games, that may not be the case in the next gen after this. No to mention shutting off all the previous stores and updates completely. Even MS stopped making new BC titles at some point, so now there's a big list with 17 pages of titles that are not playable on Xbone and are just trapped on older gen. That's not a problem on PC, the reverse happens where you only have to worry if your hardware can play the newest releases at ultra with no issue.

Shhh don't say that aloud! You're going to trigger a lot of console infidels here.

Shane Kim1766d ago

I rather play it when it's available then wait 10 years.

MadLad1766d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1766d ago

Well that's the beauty of still owning a retro console tho. Those who usually complain about emulation are just being blindly loyal to a company. Emulation is great for many reason, but if I still owned the console then I disagree nothing beats plugging it back in and going down a nostalgia trip

The RPCS3 devs are doing great work. And Kami works nicely with it too it seems.
Very neat.

Magatsuhi1766d ago

Been playing mgo on pc with mouse. It's not perfect but I can make it work.

Binarycode1766d ago

2 is the better game.

A Remake would be good. 60fps 2-4k

Omar3li1766d ago

60fps is peasant for FPS games now
