@chilled: what was so bad about my grammar and spelling? You know this is the internet and English is not my mother tongue.

Anyways, I put in Killzone 2, went to play a match in Radec Academy and Blood Gracht, damn lots of memories in those maps.

I wish Killzone 3 had the same dedicated servers as Killzone 2.

@ chilled2m

Do you even know any other languages?

You make people that speak english sound like ethnocentric douchebags.
I read over his comment and understood it perfectly clear and he made a perfectly good point about these creepy douchebags living in Mom's basement calling themselves journalists, shitting all over developers who are trying to develop quality software to win the hearts and minds of the consumers.
While other companies use money for marketing and to pay "journalist" to smears the opponents to make the consumer buy, instead of producing a quality product themselves.
And don't act dumb, you should know that it happens. Business is business. So be a conscience consumer.

"I got so bored I set the difficulty higher for the purpose of being entertained. Big mistake. Turns out, one hereditary trait of European-developed games is that, if you ask for a harder game -- you get one"

WAAA! This game was too hard for me!

"One thing that needs improvement, in games in general, is when playing at a higher difficulty -- typically the computer artificial intelligence improves. In Killzone 2, if you shoot and miss, the crafty Helgahst will hide behind cover, flank and advance on you aggressively. What usually goes unrecognized is how rock-dumb your computer friendly A.I. plays"

HINT: Increasing difficulty MAY lead to you needing to rely on teammates less often.

"From the original Killzone, Jan Templar commands your unit to invade a planet [of which you’re never given a clear reason why]"

I know what the problem is....you can't FOLLOW a story.

Well I think he had to put it in there for the COD crowd. If you've played the last couple then you'd know that playing on veteran is only a lttle more difficult than on the easier difficulties.

KZ2 on elite is a big jump in difficulty. KZ3 on elite is not nearly as difficult. The only place it comes close is in the closing stages of the game.

@Instinct

Why yes, I do know another language. I know English and Arabic. Before the post was edited, there was more than enough confusion. This has nothing to do with being an English snob. This particular user is more than capable of writing thoughtful, coherent posts when he/she wishes to, yet chose not to.

Funny how you didn't seem to notice the obvious trolling that he/she was doing. The article had NOTHING to do with 360, yet Istanbul managed to throw a little jab in there. I swear, I could be talking about cheeseburgers and the guy would find some way to add a 360 jab in there.

wow people still whining and crying over a game that IMO was an awesome game. God if you don't like it, sell it and maybe sell you ps3 at the same time. I love the story of Killzone, and have played KZ3 through medium and elite difficulty, Im going through again for the 3rd time in co-op with my nephew whens he's over, but I spend my time playing Multiplayer. And griping for elite difficulty of any game is always a trail and error, did you not expect to what, not die on the most difficult game level.

I think that you miss his complaint.
He didn't complain that he didn't expect the game to be hard in the higher difficulty level, but rather that this difficulty level made him notice another issue with the game voice acting described in the next paragraph (that's a leading sentence):
"While dying several times over, the voice acting becomes an issue. Not that it’s garishly bad, notice that the talent is competent, but the sound engineer isn’t. Music cues sometimes drop out entirely and the rubbery mouth sync becomes incredibly comedic."

Not that I agree with this article (which is very poorly written), but he's making a valid point which you apparently missed.

Don't know what you mean by helping? I gave an example of a game(s) in the stealth genre, RPG genre, action-adventure genre and action-adventure/sandbox game, they all aren't miles and miles apart obviously but even so your article mentioned the advancement in graphics and narration in games, not just FPSs. If you said FPSs that would have been a different matter and perhaps I wouldn't have commented but here were are I guess.

I don't see my list being a weak point either, I simply noted games that have advanced mature storylines/narration and decent graphics. MGS2 and MGS3 are two of the best looking games from the PS2 era, and everyone knows how convoluted the plot (particularly in MGS2, not so much MGS3) was. I certainly rate Mass Effect very highly myself although I can't speak for everyone, but it's topped the MGS series for me which has been with me since my youth and beginning in video-games so yeah, I certainly can vouch for it myself anyway.

Only FPS I could think of off of the top of my head with good graphics and a pretty darn good storyline would be Bioshock, perhaps Resistance? (Can't vouch for the ones already made, haven't played them much myself admittedly, R3 certainly looks like it's going to be pretty decent and single-player focused.)

In just about every genre you've mentioned...the bad FAR outweigh the good. If you'd kept it at FPSs...we could just say that games writing in FPSs are bad, but no. So here we are. You could at least do yourself a solid and acknowledge the fact that you're pointing out 'exceptions', because it certainly aint the rule.

God of War 3, Call of Duty MW2, Medal Of Honor, Final Fantasy XIII, Resistance 2, Just about any fighting game, Magna Carta 2, Gears of War 2, Dante's Inferno...should I continue?

God of War III?

I can't take you seriously.

God of War III is the most epic thing in the history of entertainment.

I've got to be honest (and while this'll come across as me being condescending, trust me, I'm not trying to be), I don't understand what you're trying to point out.

"In every genre you've mentioned, the bad far outweigh the good". Well yeah, I didn't say that every game in the action/adventure or stealth genre is pure gold did I? The point I initially made was against your claim that companies/devs can't make games with revolutionary/extroardinary graphics and also with mature storylines. I gave you a few examples of devs doing just that, and could give you more. If every game did it then you wouldn't have made that claim in your review/article and I wouldn't have called you out on it, right?

Also in fact you've kind of shot yourself in the foot in mentioning FFXIII. While it may not be (scratch that: isn't) everyone's cup of tea, grahpically it is the best game I've played on PS3 (although the X360 version is quite poor in that respect), and while some of the characters are quite annoying, it's storyline is actually pretty good, despite people's problems with other issues, such as a lack of towns, linearity, the combat system, among other things. FFXIII Versus too certainly looks like it's going to be a great game in the respects you mentioned too; Squeenix look like they're taking the game back to the series's roots with towns, more of an RPG and explorable world, vehicles to travel in, and the story looks like it's getting the main attention, not just gameplay or grafix. Btw most fighting games don't actually have storylines, they just give you a background on someone's story and what happens over a series of 10+ fights or so. And first I mention games from other genres, and you say that I should just be referring to things like FPSs, then I refer to FPSs aswell as what I initially referred to, and you go and mention hack 'n slashers, Fighters, JRPGs, TPSs? You're contradicting yourself.

You say
