"...but where it once had the potential to be a Halo-killer, it is now a confused triple AAA game that struggles to find its footing."

Comparing it to fanboy blog opinions. Then calling it AAA. Then saying it struggles to find it's footing, which in the article states it has such a great variety of pacing, that the game sucks. The would of liked it if you did the same repetative thing over and over.

This is a really piss poor review.

M-Easy5560d ago

Well what do you expect its a piss poor site.

ElDorado5560d ago

Agree with both of you guys. How can we take this review seriously? A 3 out of 5. Reviewers stop underrating Killzone 3.

dc15560d ago

KZ3 may be the best FPS I have ever played.

The story may not be Oscar quality however it is good. And the game play/cut scene interplay is progressive. Absolutely more than adequate.

The mechanics, controls are 'very tight' The feed back is responsive. Anyone should expect naturalization (you like that :) ?) within the first 30 minutes of game play.

I love the 360 add in the middle of the review.

BattleAxe5560d ago (Edited 5560d ago )

Piss poor site indeed.

cyborg69715560d ago

I love all of the disagrees every one gets when they call this a piss poor site. Fact of the matter is that sites that score this game low are looking for hits and that is all. In essence making them a piss poor site.

ajtaormin5560d ago

The story is about as predictable as they come. Oh look two bad guys fighting over power. I wonder if one of them will betray the other and become the uber bad guy.

Controls are much improved but they are still a bit floaty and lacking as compared to the other FPS titles out there.

You can get naturalization within the first 30 minutes of gameplay aka the first hour of the game if you account for all the cutscenes.

badz1495559d ago

"The story is about as predictable as they come. Oh look two bad guys fighting over power. I wonder if one of them will betray the other and become the uber bad guy."

what else do you expect? that 2 guys sharing bed, making love and painting the Helghan with rainbows? **SPOILER** Visari is dead and he didn't appoint his successor of course there will be conflict! **END SPOILER**

if a game get all low reviews, is garbage
if a game get all high scores, is excelent
if a game get mixed scores... you can only try the game by your self

NiKK_4195560d ago

exactly, that's how i take it, there's too many haters out there

FailOverHero5560d ago

AAA in this case pertains to the budget and not the rating or quality.
That said, having played the game over the weekend, I'd say 60 is too low for this game. Won't argue with the 80-85 scores though

eliasg5560d ago

Have to say , this is a great review score. Gongrats Guerilla Games!!!

BLACKBOIJONES5560d ago (Edited 5560d ago )

Oh pls Shut up...Who cares..The game is out, If u bought it and enjoyed it then good for u.Im sick of seeing people bitch in every killzone 3 review that gets a low score.Peoples opinion are different and reviews is just some1 opinion...Get over it. (-_-)

N4g is truly controlled by ps3 fan boys.If a halo game gets a low score i can bet my life that every one will say it deserved the score and the game is just over hyped but when its a ps3 exclusive u all say the media is bias against sony and and M$ is paying them of...Have in mind that im a ps3 gamer(Check my past history on this site).. I have a 360 but i hardly play it,I only play it when a new gears or halo game comes out.

ajtaormin5560d ago

Hey Nuka Cola here's a quote for ya, since you like them so well.

"a game that is awkwardly paced and disjointed"

Really sounds like there was a great variety of pacing doesn't it?

The game got an overall recommendation for people to, at least, try it out.

Ifone5560d ago

Do you know what is more funny than that kind of ridiculous blogs ? (more than 10000 are reviewing games, and most of the time, fanbiyz are writters), unsecure fanboys without games of that quality, jumping on every single "not so good" score, to use "agree/disagree" like donkeys, and trying to imagine that other fanboys blog's scores count more than the majority of reviews (giving 9 and tens), so funny....and sad for them.

SuicideShaun5560d ago

Every site that criticizes the game is "piss-poor" right? 8/

christheredhead5560d ago

the article is not that well written. its got a whole mess of contradictions and its sort of all over the place but ive seen some well written reviews that made valid arguments and points and yet since the score was a 7 or 8 is was a fanboy/xbot/poorly written review. only 10 out 10 articles are considered "true" articles which is extremely ridiculous. it was the same case when little big planet 2 came out. ps3 gamers didnt even take the time to read reviews unless they were a 10. i remember people complaining about 9s. i dont understand it.

SuicideShaun5560d ago

Why do you assume that if someone reviews killzone with a bad score, it makes them an "xbot"

MintBerryCrunch5560d ago

fitting that the website is called game RANT because thats all he does, is RANT

Kon5560d ago

Wait a second... A low score, for the best game ever??? Blasphemy!!!

SuicideShaun5560d ago

Bet you most people don't see your sarcasm lol.

LunaticBrandon5560d ago

Its no more ridiculous than giving a game with an overall score in the mid 80's a 100.

dc15560d ago (Edited 5560d ago )

However, there is something to be said about an overtly positive article when compared to one with teardown passive overtures. A lot of long nights and love went into these games: whether it’s Bungie or Guerrilla Games, they all deserve better than this. The games should be able to stand on their own.

I've been gaming for over 32 years (and have owned damn near every system out there). KZ3 is a darn good game and a great FPS.

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.

FinalFantasyFanatic541d 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.

Storm23541d 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.

lockedongamer1541d ago (Edited 541d 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!

Chocoburger531d 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.

1Victor1107d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1107d ago

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

jznrpg1106d ago

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

badz1491106d 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!

Vengeance11381107d 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 Kim1107d ago

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

VersusDMC1107d 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?

Vengeance11381107d ago

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

solideagle1107d 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.

Phoenix761107d 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

REDGUM1106d ago

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

thesoftware7301107d ago (Edited 1107d 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.

blacktiger1106d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1107d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1107d ago (Edited 1107d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1106d ago

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

Imalwaysright1106d 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

MadLad1858d 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.

Applejack1858d 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_B1858d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1858d 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.

1858d ago
Vegamyster1857d 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.

SinkingSage1857d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1857d ago (Edited 1857d 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 Kim1858d ago

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

MadLad1857d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1857d 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.

2 is the better game.

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

60fps is peasant for FPS games now
