The same score as IGN, does this mean we blacklist Gamespot too :s

Karooo5601d ago

I love it how you 360 trolls come out of hiding.

Istanbull5601d ago (Edited 5601d ago )

8.5 is a great score, we PS3 gamers are so used to perfect scores, that a 8.5 gives the 360 trolls a false sense of reality.

Remember when they used to say "no gamezz", now it is "no 9000'zzzzz"

guigsy5601d ago

Cmon, after all the hype of Killzone 3 supposedly being better than this FPS and that FPS, the consensus of opinion has been pretty underwhelming.

divideby05601d ago

^ yea... nothing to play so they wait for a high profile game to come out and you see what you get...

ksense5601d ago

the majority of scores is 8.5 and above with some 10's as well so whats with xbots trying to bash it. Every reviewer agrees the game looks fantastic and the multiplayer is awesome and the only negaitve I hear is that the story is weak and lets face it the majority of gamers buy fps to play multiplayer (halo, cod, battlefield) and in that aspect the game delivers with stunning graphics.

ChristianGamer5601d ago

I read one of ziro's comments almost every hour. I do not think he's been in hiding

disturbing_flame5601d ago

Halo Reach is 9.5 on gamespot

Finally it looks like KZ3 is nothing really as good as Reach.

Apparently KZ3 is less good than KZ2 too.

ElDorado5601d ago

It has nothing to do with reviews. It's just weird. Gamespot used to be a great reviewer, but i'm disappointed. How is Bug Ops a 9 and Killzone 3 a 8.5. I know you'll be saying that it's a different reviewer, but that doesn't make any sense. Black Ops a 9 DAMNIT. 8.5 is great, but it's too low a 9 atleast. Tell me when the fuck does a game deserve a 9??? O ok now that we have co-op splitscreen even move and 3d added. Halo Reach 9.5 just a remastered version of the first Halo. Reviewers scores are shitty. It's a damn shame, cause people will listen to the likes of Gamespot and IGN who gave it a 8.5

Tr10wn5601d ago

I love how PS3 fanboys defend their games with graphics, when gamespot launch the GT5 review everyone was saying the same thing "but the graphics are superb" the truth is that 80% of the cars in GT5 looks worst than NFS:Most Wanted anyways getting to the point here, Killzone in general is all about the graphics and generic scenes.

@ElDorado
Gamespot still the best doing reviews they point out the flaws and the goods with "FACTS" something PS3 fanboys don't know, all the majority of their CoD reviews are based on the 360 version and BO in 360 is a normal game too bad the PS3 sucks thats not their fault. Halo Reach has better story and gameplay than KZ3 graphics is not everything a game needs to be good.

shooterexpert5601d ago

Score seems fair, I really don't know why people are freaking out.

Not one of the best shooters of this generation but it is still decent.

pain777pas5601d ago

I suggest that you get a copy of KZ2 if you haven't already and be prepared to compare. I have a feeling that KZ3 is bigger and better than the last game. I'm waiting for the beta to download and then let the games begin. KZ2 is the only shooter that really feels great. From the rumble when shots fire to the sound. The game is incredible. I will take all these reviews with a grain of salt. They have missed the mark far too often to be considered reliable. I wish that the reviewers were available to ask them questions so that we can get to the bottom of what they consider a good game is. Mario has no story. Is level design and playability the most important thing in a game? Is there a different criteria for different genres? Is every game reviewed on their own merit? Seriously there has got to be some criteria that they use when reviewing a game. How can tetris score lower than a 9? What is the criteria for your opinions journalists? I'd love to discuss a review with a reviewer to see what they come up with.

Troll came out of his closet. I know you are waiting for that swimming game so its cool.

jimbone795601d ago (Edited 5601d ago )

I love all the 1 bubble folk's calling out the trolls. Yea, pretty funny.

MiloGarret5601d ago

That is funny, bubble for you, ummm "funny"

m23455601d ago

they only show up when there's a score belong 9. you know they feel threatened by this game.

Iamback5601d ago

Two guys with one bubble call someone else for a TROLL!

BUAHAHAHAHHAHAAH LOVE U N4G! Hahahah twilight zone 4 real

GS:"Awful story" - me:" No buy"

redsquad5601d ago (Edited 5601d ago )

After the release of GT5, pretty much every PS3 fan who posted positive comments about the game lost at least one bubble whether they were trolling or not.
They also got scores of 'disagrees' within minutes of making those posts. Seems certain other parties, with vitriol in their hearts, only come out when a high-profile PS3 exclusive gets released.

redsquad5601d ago

SO, one bubble doesn't automatically equal "troll" as Lamback suggested. Didn't realise I had to spell it out.

NateCole5601d ago

Difference is. Gamespot 8.5 is IGN's 9. Either way i trust Gamespot more than IGN.

Schism205601d ago

Seems some reviewers are complaining about the story. O well Im buying Kz3 for the multiplayer anyways

bluwulf5601d ago

Funny, they say the same thing about Call of Duty, but higher scores.

LightofDarkness5601d ago

Not really, they say COD campaigns are short but always state that the story is solid and gripping at times (from COD4 onwards).

Iamback5601d ago

True, no site ever said COD had AWFUL STORY. Show me if there is any. But in this case it is literally called AWFUL, just read this review. Grow up Sony fanboys.

bluwulf5601d ago (Edited 5601d ago )

Xbug, 1 site claims its awful.

"The past few years I’ve felt that the Call of Duty campaigns have been rather lackluster, due to their wanting to be a blockbuster Hollywood movie. Modern Warfare took the cake on being a convoluted mess with the story jumping around so much that it became quickly confusing, plus the open ending left you wanting more and left you even more confused. Luckily Black Ops has an ending, but the lead up to that ending is similarly convoluted and will leave you going “huh?” Don’t mistake my remarks for saying the story is garbage, there are tons of games with worst storylines, and Black Ops offers enough twists and entertainment to keep you captivated, but it’s storyline alone isn’t an award winner."

http://www.vgrevolution.com...

And there are many that condemn the story, but say the MP is the reason you bought the game. As we all know with FPS's, many people don't even play the story, and just hop into MP.

Im sure you guys are so focused on trying to find out if KZ3 has an award winning SP, you're missing the rest of the 9's the game being called

The Genre King.

But enjoy bulletstorm :)

I cant imagine how amazingly retard you have to be to pretend the 8's define the game, while the 9's praising it dont. At least compromise, some folks will tear down the story, and praise it for other games. Others will see the campaign is one part of the game, and it has an entire package that just redefined the genre & raised the bar again.

theafroman5601d ago (Edited 5601d ago )

the story guerilla said it was improve i guess guerilla gotta learn how to make a compelling plot,no screw that a decent one.

Der_Kommandant5601d ago

i have my shotgun ready for troll invasion

StarScream4Ever5601d ago

Looks like Gametrailer is the last true game review site.

Doletskaya5601d ago

Yeah, right after they gave KZ3 a 9.4

mushroomwig5601d ago

You're only saying that because they gave the game a score that you like. Anything under 9.0 and you'd be saying how another site is the last true game review site.

StarScream4Ever5601d ago

Well let's look at Halo see. ODST got a low score yet other sites a raving it. And that's just a matter of how I see it. When game sites give game an unfair score based on popularity then to me it lost it's credibility to certain gamers like myself.

And no I don't enjoy Killzone like a fanatic of a certain game but I look forward to many games with certain attitude and project how it might received.

piroh558d ago

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.

FinalFantasyFanatic557d 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.

Storm23557d 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.

lockedongamer1557d ago (Edited 557d 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!

Chocoburger548d 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.

1Victor1123d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1123d ago

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

jznrpg1123d ago

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

badz1491123d 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!

Vengeance11381123d 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 Kim1123d ago

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

VersusDMC1123d 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?

Vengeance11381123d ago

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

solideagle1123d 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.

Phoenix761123d 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

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

thesoftware7301123d ago (Edited 1123d 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.

blacktiger1123d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1123d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1123d ago (Edited 1123d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1123d ago

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

Imalwaysright1123d 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

MadLad1874d 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.

Applejack1874d 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_B1874d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1874d 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.

1874d ago
Vegamyster1874d 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.

SinkingSage1874d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1874d ago (Edited 1874d 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 Kim1874d ago

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

MadLad1873d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1874d 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
