Not the game everyone else on this site is making it out to be. N4G sure does show it's bias when it comes to Killzone 3.

Passthemic5563d ago

Shhhhhhhhhhhhh You'll be painted a 360 fanboy.

BattleAxe5563d ago

This thread has attracted a whole bunch of 360 fanboys for some reason. Anyway I just picked up KZ3 and I'm looking forward to playing it. We all know that when it comes to PS3 exclusives that the media is far more critical for some reason, yet they give every Halo game a free pass and every CoD game a free pass without any critical analysis.

HungryGoku5563d ago

We don't care for your kind you are the minority.

zootang5563d ago

Either way you are missing out on a quality game. We are gamers after all.

plb5563d ago (Edited 5563d ago )

I just beat kz3 :) took about 5rs on trooper. Good game looking forward to MP.

You haven't even played it so don't even go judging it. I haven't gotten my hands on it yet but I'm not going to let anyone tell me how good it is or not.

FYI, people do think it's as good as they are making it out to be so don't be such a dumb dumb it's THEIR opinion.

samurailincoln5563d ago

Yeah. Don't have an opinion on something on a thread to a review for a game unless you're going to say something positive about it. Unless you've already played it. In which case, keep your opinion to yourself.

SoapShoes5563d ago

Um, what??? Has nothing to do with what I was saying, but good randomization. :)

Mista T5563d ago

I agree, just look at the degrees it has where it says hottest games on the front page.

people overhyping to the max

Kon5563d ago

Yet people disagree but don't try to prove it otherwise...

beavis4play5563d ago

KON - what would any of us (who love the game) say to you haters that's going to change anything? it sounds like you guys want to argue. i'm just taking a break from the game to eat and thought i'd come on and see what people are talking about.

i'm really enjoying everything about the game.
as far as what haters think?.....i don't care. people like you and mista T can hate all you want - it doesn't affect me in the least.

clrlite5563d ago (Edited 5563d ago )

Is it the game that the many reviewers who gave it a 9+ are making it out to be? If not, do you even own the game so you can make an honest assessment? Probably not based on your statement.

Killzone 3 is amazing and very fun, especially with the Move. People who play the game know this and nobody trolling in a forum are going to undermine it's success.

beavis4play5563d ago

i'm liking the game too! i don't use the move but i'm having a great time with it. i'm really into the story too. the reviews that said the story and voice acting were bad don't know what they're talking about.

Buho5563d ago

Your opinion will be valid once you own a PS3, and play KZ3 yourself. Until then, STFU like all the other 360 fanboys that claim to have played KZ3 and say it sucks, or it's too short. Just played the demo today, there are no words to describe how beautiful KZ3 is. I can't wait to get my copy asap!

beavis4play5563d ago (Edited 5563d ago )

plb i just stopped playing at the point the SP demo starts. and i've been playing for 5 hours (by the clock on the wall).

really enjoying the game - i love everything! can't believe all the haters and trolls on the threads.

Killzone 3 just tries to do too many things on the marketing sheet. The jetpack and 3D parts of Killzone 3 are awesome - should have just stuck to those things instead.

Volpone5563d ago

That's what it seems like to me, too. Sony just can't seem to get its feet under itself when it comes to FPS games.

Thoreau5563d ago

you have not played kz3 judging from your statement. the whole game is in 3d if you have a a 3d tv.. get a ps3.........

insertcoin5562d ago

I was using "parts" as synonymous with "features". But to be clear, yes, the jetpack section and the 3D feature are clearly the best new ideas of Killzone 3 that come through nicely.

samurailincoln5563d ago

How could this game suck? It's got jetpacks in it! Jetpacks never suck (Dark Void being the exception to the rule)

stormeagle65563d ago

The exception that proves* the rule, you mean?

Rageanitus5563d ago

Im a pro pc player.... and this game is actually very good.... much more polished over the old kz2.... if xbox fanboys want to stand behind their halo... let them cuz they are really missing out.

Kon5563d ago

They stand behind halo because thats the only FPS they play i think.

Jio5563d ago

Have you played Killzone 3?

DantheMan815563d ago (Edited 5563d ago )

People stick by halo because it has a shitload of features that killzone 3 doesn't. I've been playing killzone most of the day, its fun but to be honest it doesn't have alot of multiplayer features. I don't see this game being fun for more than a month or so.

TheDivine5563d ago

I cant wait to play this. I like the controlls over kz2. The graphics, i really cant tell but the environments are far better. More variety and color. This has nothing to do with the 360 though? Reach is great, killzones great. People still play reach because of all the content it has. Im glad kz3 has co-op and a new mode but its not enough to compete with reach since u guys brought it up. Enjoy both! It sucks not to have choice. I do like that it has bots, great that they thought of people without internet.

ceedubya95563d ago

Choice IS great. But the majority here don't really care about that, and buy only what they think suits their needs. And then of course there are those that are loyalist to one side and rather have their bragging points.

piroh539d 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.

FinalFantasyFanatic538d 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.

Storm23538d 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.

lockedongamer1538d ago (Edited 538d 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!

Chocoburger529d 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.

1Victor1104d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1104d ago

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

jznrpg1104d ago

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

badz1491104d 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!

Vengeance11381104d 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 Kim1104d ago

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

VersusDMC1104d 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?

Vengeance11381104d ago

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

solideagle1104d 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.

Phoenix761104d 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

REDGUM1104d ago

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

thesoftware7301104d ago (Edited 1104d 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.

blacktiger1104d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1104d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1104d ago (Edited 1104d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1104d ago

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

Imalwaysright1104d 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

MadLad1855d 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.

Applejack1855d 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_B1855d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1855d 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.

1855d ago
Vegamyster1855d 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.

SinkingSage1855d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1855d ago (Edited 1855d 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 Kim1855d ago

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

MadLad1854d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1855d 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.

Magatsuhi1855d ago

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

Binarycode1855d ago

2 is the better game.

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

Omar3li1855d ago

60fps is peasant for FPS games now
