Killzone 3 review - 77% in GamesMaster

You'll no doubt have read our Killzone 3 review already, but now GamesMaster has thrown its score to the masses.

The mag has elected to give Guerilla's sci-fi shooter a 77 percent score, which comes after OPM's 9/10 and Edge's 7/10 evaluations.

Wwwwch the fanboys are not going to be happy about that score

GarandShooter5590d ago

But you're in here fanboy, and you don't seem upset. Maybe certain fanboys will be celebrating.

Venatus-Deus5590d ago

*Reads S_C other comments*

Yep... your a fanboy.

DatNJDom815590d ago (Edited 5590d ago )

This is expected. All PS3 exclusives are scored lower than 360 games this generation. Everytime I see an exclusive get a low score, I get it. Why? Because when haters hate, your doing your God damn job. Keep bringing them Sony, I'll keep buying. I prefer the quality anyday of the week.

S_C5590d ago

@Venatus-Deus
How am i a fanboy?, im just saying that its not exactly a criticly aclaimed score is it, and that the KZ fanboys are not going to be happy with it?

bageara5590d ago (Edited 5590d ago )

Did you happen to read or comment in all the 9's and perfect 10/10 criticly aclaimed score articles then?

Venatus-Deus5590d ago (Edited 5590d ago )

@ravinash
Your In Work And Your Still Browsing N4G For Killzone 3 Articles And Sticking Up For It, Man Your More Of A Die Hard Fanboy Than I Thought

@OneSneakyMofo
Are You Serious,You PS3 Fanboys Have Been Bringing Your Love Child Aka Killzone 3 Into Every Crysis To Article For Weeks.

@Scotland-Tha-Brave
Haaaaha Someone Is Getting Flustered, Isit Beceause I Questioned Your Love Child Killzone, Ahhh Theres A Shame, Cant Believe How Protective You Are Over A Peice Of Plastic Haha

@BryanBegins
You Say Its Ok For A Ps3 Exclusive To Have A Short Campain But If This Was An Xbox 360 Exclusive Game You Would All Be Ripping It To Shreds, Slaging It Off The Full Work,But Because Its Your PS3 Lovechild Aka KZ3 Everything Is Well And Dandy, I Really Dont See The Appeal About This Game, KZ2 Was Soo Bland And Boring, The Color Pallet Was Enough To Make You go To Sleep, And The Gamplay Was Just Outright, But You PS3 Fanboys Cant Admit Any Of That As You Feel Its A Sense Of Weekness, And No Im Not A 360 Fanboy I Just Speak The Truth. But Let The Disagrees From The Fanboys Roll In As I Had Somthing Bad To Say About Their Beloved Killzone.

This is why you are a fanboy...

elpresador5590d ago

Aint the sites/mags that gave it the higher scores PS3 centric? Just asking, not being sarcastic.

Venatus-Deus5590d ago

Whys That? I Had A Ps3 Befor I Traded It In For The Xbox, And So Far Im Enjoying The 360 Much More.

9d ago
Could say the same about the ps3 and a potable YLOD which happened to my ps3 but i wont because im not a fanboy unlike you, i think MS a testing the water with the portable market with the windows 7 phone

What, you traded your broken YLOD for a working 360? Man… the guy you traded with saw you coming from a mile away. :-)

S_C5590d ago (Edited 5590d ago )

@bageara
Infact i did , soooo.......
You cant even say that somthing ps3 related has had a bad score nowday.

@Venatus-Deus
Whats that proving, uve just hand selected all the crap ones fairplay to you mate have a look at my comment history if you want just proves how much youve looked, when the kinect got announced i absolutly slated it, but having read some positive things about it i give it a bash and said that it actually suprised me. Uve just backed up my point about not being a fanboy and just someone who tells the truth. Yes i thought KZ2 color pallet was enough to but me to sleep not going to lie to you, you wouldnt say it was the most exciting colors youve seen in a game would you......or would you hmmmmmmmm, and your telling me that if a 360 exclusive only had a 4.5 hour campain you wouldnt be all over it like a tramp on chips. Give over, you all take the piss out of the like of COD because it has a short story but if its a ps3 exclusive its somehow execptable then, stop being a blind fanboy and just say ye that is a short campain not going to agrue with that, but no the double standards you have is awful.

About the YLOD, all the ps3 fanboys were saying you could'nt have a xbox hand held because of the RROD problems the 360 had, so i just countered the argument buy asking about the YLOD which i had personaly, where the fanboy element in that ?. And yes i did trade the ps3 as i thought the online element of it was getting stale, and the social side of the online on 360 is fair ahead, or are you going to argue and be a fanboy about that aswell are you.

I am a fanboy because i speak the truth isit. the amount of analysis you go to to come up with a reply is astonishing you are the real fanboy here

GarandShooter5590d ago

@ elpresador

Why would that possibly be relevant? In the US the Official Xbox Magazine, PlayStation: The Official Magazine, and Nintendo Power are all published by Future US.

If you can find a PS3 centric magazine that has never given a poor or mediocre score to an exclusive then you may be onto something for that one publication.

PlayStation: The Official Magazine gave GT5 an 8 which is below the Metacritic average, so they contributed to lowering the overall meta.

No conspiracy here.

bageara5590d ago (Edited 5590d ago )

I hope you praised GG for getting such good scores....but i doubt it

S_C5590d ago (Edited 5590d ago )

@Venatus-Deus
Is that the only comeback youve got, cluching at straws now you are. Its insane that someone speaks their mind, OK your the insane one now. This world has far to many people like you who just follow the crowd and just sit back and except things instead of actually speaking theie mind.

@ bageara
You prove my point aswell about ps3 fanboys being far to over sensetive if the ps3 gets bad review score.
Oh of course i praised them.....just sent them a check in the post now as it goes..... do me a favor and grow up will you

bageara5590d ago

Im no fanboy im to old for that shit, im lowering myself replying to you

Im not sensitive about an average score, infact i respect it as someones opinion.
what does bother me is people like you who ignore the good scores and then when you see a lower score your tiny little brain tells your tiny little cock to get a hard on. now you are the one that needs to grow up... BOY

S_C5590d ago

@bageara
Lets get this point clear for a minuite i wernt even talking to you, you decided to butt in no1 eles. LOWERING YOURSELF.... do me a favor wind your neck and pipe down on your ego, as i stated in my first comment i never said anything about it get a low score, all i said and i quote "Wwwwch the fanboys are not going to be happy about that score" where in there did i say anything about it having, where in that comment have i been ignorant at the higher scores that the game has been getting ??????. Tiny little brain.... god you do make me laugh, you the one sounding like a little boy mate no1 eles, love all the disagrees you get for speaking your mind on this website..oh ye i forgot this is practically a playstation website with the amount of fanboys on here, so disagree all you want, u know im speaking the truth and its not my fault that u get your knickers in a twist if someone questions somthing about the console. BOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY (Haha grow a pair will you)

ARRRR WTF FUCKIN* BIAS INTERNET CRAP!

FUCKIN* computerandvideogames, nothing but flame bait headlines and PC fanboys.

THIS WAS CLEARLY A 78% game. Have they even played the MP!

disturbing_flame5590d ago (Edited 5590d ago )

I think it will not be the only game destroyed by the press this year on PS3.
Motorstorm 3 will be killed.
SOCOM 4 too.
And Uncharted 3 will be destroyed too, why ? because people will say the game is nothing more than Uncharted 2.
In fact since GT5 all PS3 exclusives are now on the decline of hype system whereas 360 will know great hype with gears of war 3 and Forza 4.

Smart move from Microsoft, giving no exclusives for the starting of the year and make the hype train go faster with months with Gears of War 3 and Forza 4. All press zines gonna give them perfect scores due to the lack of exclusives this year on 360.

And more than that now Crysis 2 have the perfect tempo to become the new reference of FPS this year (before a new COD is out) now that Killzone has been demolished.
Smart move again by microsoft Crytek is now working for them.

Sony thought that give games to gamers was a good solution, but you misjudged one thing Sony, more and more people working in the industry of video game hates you, i don't really know why, but it seems that the hype is definitly leaving PS3.

Anyway i have already preordered KZ3, i'll play Crysis 2, gears 3 and uncharted 3 too, these blockusters are just pop corn.

In fact this year on PS3, there's just Infamous 2 that can manage a 94% on metacritics...

trancefreak5590d ago

intersting twist but I think alot of people will buy kz3 regardless.

Its got alot going for it. The game looks a step forward from kz2 so I have no doubt its goin to rock.

I remember how some sites gave a couple fps games of recent a free pass because it was their last hurahh/ Or the intriguing campaign looks over the dated graphics which scored a 9.5 for graphics with frame rate inconsistencies . Oh the pity & irony.

bageara5590d ago

How exactly has Killzone been destroyed by the press?
from what ive read Killzone has had mostly excellent reviews 8s 9s and 10s with only a few average 7s i fail to see how that is being demolished. your post is delusional

disturbing_flame5590d ago

I mean destroyed 'cause a lot of review say that the game is better than Killzone 2, except their rating everything when you read the test tends to say that KZ3 is better than KZ2.
How can a game better than an other can have a lower score ?
Zines may have overestimate KZ2 and they make pay KZ3 for the scores they gave for KZ2.

@ trancefreak : Gamers are always winner when they have good games to play.

Acquiescence5590d ago

This is gonna kick off something awful.

talltony5590d ago

No it wont because anyone who has played the beta already knows it is much better than a 77%. The game is amazing especially with the move.

Si-Fly5590d ago

Isn't the move integration mainly to attract the casual gamer Market? Haven't tried it but can't imagine it being better than using a DS3...

elpresador5590d ago

The multi is getting rave reviews, it is the SP that is getting ripped.

talltony5590d ago

@Si-Fly. I used to say move would suck with fps's until I played the kz3 beta with it and I swear their is nothing casual about it. You have to play it with it to understand what I am talking about.

@elpresador It should be rated atleast a 9 based on how amazing the mp is alone, the move makes it just that much better.

trancefreak5590d ago

I agree talltony that's pretty much how bad co 2 was reviewed. Dice is not known for their single player campaigns but for their incredible online experiences.

It would seem to me that when big named sites start placing lower scores, other review sites to take in comfort giving that game comparable ones.

-End of Line

ChristianGamer5590d ago

It only does conspiracy theorists.
This is a publication. Doubt they were waiting on IGN's score so they could give permission to their printers to go ahead and print the 77 score.
Tin foil hats sales have been on the increase of late, nearing 48 million I hear

DigitalAnalog5590d ago (Edited 5590d ago )

Bias exist in the industry whether you like or not. Somehow, you have no problem rolling your eyes when a Playastation magazine gives an exclusive a high score.

-End of Line

Clarence5590d ago (Edited 5590d ago )

Wow! I guess you need the title Modern Wafare or Call of Duty to get a better score. The storyline is bad so that means it gets a 77% All I can is support the game and go out and buy it.

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.

FinalFantasyFanatic550d 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.

Storm23550d 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.

lockedongamer1550d ago (Edited 550d 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!

Chocoburger541d 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.

SullysCigar1116d ago

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

jznrpg1116d ago

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

badz1491116d 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!

Vengeance11381116d 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 Kim1116d ago

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

VersusDMC1116d 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?

Vengeance11381116d ago

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

solideagle1116d 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.

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.

blacktiger1116d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

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

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

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

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

MadLad1867d 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.

Applejack1867d 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_B1867d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1867d 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.

1867d ago
Vegamyster1867d 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.

SinkingSage1867d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1867d ago (Edited 1867d 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.

MadLad1866d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1867d 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
