They need to ask GG some of the more important questions like why so many features from kz2 was taken out.

Close_Second5543d ago

Agree. For me KZ2 MP was better. The lobby system was by far better and the ability to create custom games was fantastic.

GG may patch these features in but why remove them in the first place.

GamerSciz5543d ago

Something I am noticing about KZ3, especially now some people have gotten high levels and maxed out classes, is that most matches are just team deathmatch. Objectives are there but you see nothing but snipers, infiltrators not doing the objective, and seldom a medic or tactician.

The problem is to get points during a warzone match, the person who camps and gets the most kills get the most points. That's not right. KZ2 had like double xp if you killed someone within the designated area around the current objective. Incentive to do said objective. KZ3 not so much and have snipers be able to invisible and jam your radar and sniper being one hit kill and well you get my point.

In the end the problem is balance...there isn't much. They added a ton of weapons and variations and new perks and abilities for classes but in doing so they threw the game out of whack.

I enjoy the MP but I have to admit as a fun factor I could pick up KZ2 and always have a fun time whereas here it's up and down and lately more down.

rdgneoz35543d ago

I'll play my medic again after the patch, my sniper is better at protecting / taking objectives for now. "KZ2 had like double xp if you killed someone within the designated area around the current objective." If you complete an objective / take a territory / etc, you get double xp for 60 seconds.

As for balance, it is decent atm. Its all about teamwork to win. If you have people thinking they're 1 man armies, then you'll lose every time. Once the medic rez cooldown / range is changed, it should make things a bit better and get more medics out there.

p.s. Radar jam is just dumb in some cases, I stopped after the 2nd one in that section. Jamming the enemies radar is just telling them you're right near them, rather than them just going by and never noticing you're there.

p.p.s Don't run out in the open if you don't want to get shot by snipers and always put your crosshairs over friendlies / shoot them to be sure they're not infiltrators.

dead_eye5543d ago (Edited 5543d ago )

What. how many points do you get on average. If I don't do objectives I get anywhere between
3000-6000 points per match. If I do well at the objectives it's up to about 10000-13000

Edit. I did the same with my radar jammer. don't need that shit.

cyborg69715543d ago (Edited 5543d ago )

Whatever dude kz3 is the biggest let down for me this gen next to mw2. All gg had to do was build on what made kz2 so great. But no they didn't they listened to the noobs crying about the controls and tried to make it like cod. Hopefully they will listen to the Killzone vets and unfuck this game.

Nice the same noobs who ruined this game are disagreeing with me. Bitches.

HungryGoku5543d ago (Edited 5543d ago )

Your the one who is bitching. BITCH

rdgneoz35543d ago

I disagreed because the game is fun and not even close to being the biggest let down this gen.

awesomeperson5543d ago

No.

This is nowhere near as big as a letdown as MW2, to be honest that wasn't a letdown either until the glitches started.

The controls needed some alterations, which they fixed, I find it still retains a good weight but also has enough lightness to be able to move well.

I don't see how you can just say that whoever is disagreeing with you ruined the game. While some things are for worse, the variation in Killzone 3 is a lot better than in 2.

I find you to be bitching a lot more than anyone who is disagreeing.

jimbone795543d ago

LOL Hungry, It's you're. You are = you're, not your, and as many of YOUR post as I’ve read, I really don't think you have any room to call anyone a bitch. Hell you shouldn't even say the word unless YOU'RE standing in front of a mirror.

u tryna b a troll with witty words lol... bubbles down!!! attack him.....

MajestieBeast5543d ago (Edited 5543d ago )

Make the engineer not suck monkey balls please. Cause the turret is pretty much useless except for the rocket. Then you added the hacking ability which is useless cause you cant have multiple turrets and you need to get close to the enemy turret try doing that its really fun.

Right now warzone is

40% snipers(campers)
40% Tactician
20% other classes

nightmarex1215543d ago (Edited 5543d ago )

well tactician are super important b/c the spawn points are must have.

But i do agree engineer need a buff, but the problem is what happen if you mass the turrets its a balancing issue, if the turrets were strong you can have like 3 in a room and be impossible to get in like the small maps.
It's probably why the turrets are weak b/c they are scared if people mass them it be gg. i don't think engineer should be getting like bunch of kills with turrets either, they are more of a support not killing machines.
Also turrets are really shitty if you have them out in the open but if you can hide them they are really good but the problem is not every room or place you can hide a turret. But yeah i can see how engineers are not good but they are definite more suited when you need to repair the mounted turrets though, they excel more with those kind of maps.

MajestieBeast5543d ago

I agree tactician is important but the problem is half of who play them dont go and capture spawn points.

Im not asking for multi turret just increase 1 of these 3.

1.Firerate or damage done
2.Health
3.AI:Some matches i injure somebody bad but the turret still cant finish him off and even gets blown up by the same guy now thats a joke.

rdgneoz35543d ago (Edited 5543d ago )

I've seen some pretty good engineers running around with the STA3 LMG kicking a$$. Insane fire rate and nice accuracy on that thing.

p.s. Think the turrets are weak, ever use a medi droid? Thing does sh!t for damage. At least turrets at rank 3 get rockets which can 1 shot people when caught off guard.

awesomeperson5543d ago

I'm a maxed out engineer, one of the two of my clans engineers and I find it good enough.

We are needed to build up ammo boxes, repair WASPS and miniguns. I also find the class comes in handy in maps with Exo suits, I can get a high KD by simply killing across the map with the exo and when at half health simply retreating back and repairing it.

I also find the last Helghast LMG (the spray and pray one) to be very effective in providing covering fire in Search and Retrieve along with general killing.

I <3 Engineer :D

Bathyj5543d ago

All these issues. Its always the MP gamers complaining about something. Just saying.

All I care about GG is, can you patch Move support into KZ2 (wishful thinking I know, maybe a Trilogy pack down the road, that would rock)...

and why on earth wont you bring secondary fire back? The Helgast Rifle with Underslung shotty round and the Machine Pistol with Silent shot from Part 1 are two of the greatest weapons of all time.

GIVE THEM BACK TO ME.
Let me guess, its a balancing issue with MP isn't it? I bet I'm right.

God that pisses me off.

ChozenWoan5543d ago

Loved the shotty... plus it was easy to keep ammo for it since the Hegs would leave plenty of it lying around.

piroh532d 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.

FinalFantasyFanatic532d 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.

Storm23532d 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.

lockedongamer1531d ago (Edited 531d 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!

Chocoburger522d 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.

1Victor1098d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1098d ago

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

jznrpg1097d ago

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

badz1491097d 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!

Vengeance11381098d 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 Kim1098d ago

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

VersusDMC1098d 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?

Vengeance11381098d ago

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

solideagle1098d 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.

Phoenix761098d 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

thesoftware7301098d ago (Edited 1098d 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.

blacktiger1097d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1098d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1098d ago (Edited 1098d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1097d ago

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

Imalwaysright1097d 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

MadLad1849d 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.

Applejack1849d 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_B1848d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1848d 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.

1848d ago
Vegamyster1848d 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.

SinkingSage1848d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1848d ago (Edited 1848d 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 Kim1848d ago

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

MadLad1848d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1848d 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.

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

2 is the better game.

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

60fps is peasant for FPS games now
