hahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahaha!!!!!

happyface5526d ago

seems like the ps3 community is really down on this game, low sells and low user reviews

thereapersson5526d ago

It's "sales", you clown. SALES.

kikizoo5526d ago

Only in pathetic fan's like you heads, sales and scores are greats, by the way, you don't have a single game on par graphicly, deal with it.

awesomeperson5526d ago

Funny, I play a lot, personally my favourite FPS right now. Also everyone I play online with thoroughly enjoys the game (not to mention everyones a LOT more funny and laid back than the COD community).

wsoutlaw875525d ago

seriously dont think ign= the community. One of them couldn't even follow along with the story. It was not a hard story to follow along with if your older than 8. And not one of them explained really any thing it should have done differently or that any game does better. Then you through in that they brought up crysis for no reason at all and i get this strange feeling of bias like i always have from ign.

You know that isn't true Killzone 3 is a B+ or a A-.

kikizoo5526d ago

17/20 is a A..(and metacritic count all the biased reviews from ms blogs)

Silly gameAr5526d ago

It really is. I don't understand where the harsh criticisms are coming from or why, but I enjoyed the hell out of KZ3. Still am. It's really sad to see.

If you haven't played this game and you're judging it on a few reviews you've read, you should reconsider. It really is a good game.

Trizard5525d ago

17/20 is not an A, 17/20 = 85% or a solid B, go back to school.

wsoutlaw875525d ago

some of these guys seem like they wanted it to be bad. Editor Samuel Claiborn couldnt even understand what happened in the story. It wasnt that hard to follow along. I have read them say one way in which another shooter beats it.

FACTUAL evidence5526d ago

Most people are mad about KZ3 match making. If it weren't for that everyone would love it again. That's the only problem i see with KZ3, and the fact they took out custom soundtracks......Oh also the last "fight". Should have let us fight sthal wtf?.....

badz1495526d ago

is it's a bit on a short side and no collectibles!

but Stahl/Sthal is not even a soldier! he's a corporate man. we didn't even fight with Visari in the previous game. the MAWLR battle it fun enough for me! I'm working my way to Platinum and it takes me this long to do it because I'm playing it on every difficulty and then once co-op, but it's still fun! might as well bring myself back to the MP once I finished Elite.

KZ3 FTW!

TheLastGuardian5525d ago (Edited 5525d ago )

Did IGN play the same game as me? The graphics are not the only thing Killzone 3 does right. Who gives a flying fuck about the story in FPS games? The shooting mechanics are just as good as all the other big shooters out there.

It's got better graphics than every other console shooter out there. It's got more action set pieces and enemy types than most shooters. There's plenty of weapons. The campaign is epic and fun as hell though a tad bit too short. The multiplayer has a few issues but nothing game breaking. Hopefully most of the bugs will be patched out soon.

KZ3 is the best use of PlayStation Move so far. It made the campaign more fun and it actually works better in multiplayer than the Dualshock 3. Motion controls in FPS games is a new experience for me and I look forward to playing Resistance 3 with the Move.

So basically they finally played the game ? :p

Funny how COD BO doesnt need a second opinion

Fulensenca5526d ago

This "article" is just a troll fest.

B1663r5526d ago

There is something wrong with your world view when everyone who disagrees with you is in a conspiracy to get you. For example here are multiple opinions that disagree with your assesment of KZ3, and not only do you disagree with them, but you reject their very right to have opinions seperate from your own.

I beleive the Doctors call it schitzo-effective personality disorder, with paranoid delusions.

Get help, you can't fix this on your own...

-Alpha5526d ago (Edited 5526d ago )

Why is it a trollfest?

Achemki5526d ago (Edited 5526d ago )

Sample from questionnaire:

The story left me ______.
A)wanting to know more.
B)hoping there isn't a sequel.
C)wishing they had a real writer.
D)wondering what the hell even happened.

They're pushing the "it sucks" angle before anyone even gets to give their 2 cents. Hoping for no sequel? Subtle. Where's the "thank god it's not another America #&*k yeah" a la COD/MOH/BF/HF. Ooh rah! Ooh rah!

cereal_killa5526d ago

Why is it a trollfest?

Alpha plan an simple answer for you... The 360 only Muppet's are Jealous and have nothing better to do other than search for bad reviews, reports on how great the US sales are from VGcharts and multiplate comparisons so they can still feel like they have the bigger E-penises in this joke of a war.

-Alpha5526d ago

So the person that submitted this (Bloodmask) is a 360 only troll?

He submits like a majority of the news.

I didn't hear people complain when other IGN Second Opinion pieces were submitted, why the sudden hate?

Ducky5526d ago (Edited 5526d ago )

... didn't BlackOps also get a second opinion discussion? I remember seeing something like that.

Anyways, outside of N4G, I hardly hear anything about KZ3. =/

Silly gameAr5526d ago

Outside of N4G. Why even say this? It's a crock. Guess what? I venture outside of N4G too and you're full of sh**.

There are plenty of discussions going on about KZ3 outside of, guess where? N4G. Guess we don't frequent the same gaming sites. Imagine that.

Ducky5526d ago (Edited 5526d ago )

^ Yea, guess we don't.
Don't see why you had to go all defensive-mode over that when you could've just given your own view in a calm manner. =/

It wasn't even a negative comment to begin with. I just felt KZ3 isn't getting as much attention as it should.

Silly gameAr5526d ago

Well, I apologize to you if you took my comment that way. Usually when someone adds "only on N4G" in a comment that's the beginning of a troll comment. Seen it a lot.

So once again, I apologize if If my defensive comment offended you.

Ducky5526d ago (Edited 5526d ago )

^ Heh, no hard feeling mate.

Though if yer saying that the game is getting discussed, then that's good to hear. I tend to visit places that are mostly dominated by PC players (who may or may not own a console) so it's understandable why it wouldn't be a hot topic. Hell, I probably should've done some better searching before making that comment.

BO did get a second opinion piece, in video form comparing it to previous CODs. The SP was ripped on by Greg Miller, though praised for being better than MW2.

Menech5526d ago

Clearly there just trolling, KZ3 has it's own religion here even so much as questioning it's quality is blasphemy against there god.

The general understanding from most gamers, not religious nuts it's a great looking shooter, and a good quality game.

It certainly has it's collection of flaws though hence it's poor sales and lower adoption rate compared to the second in the series.

Clearly from a fanbase prospective ,expect from the die hard's here KZ3 took a step backwards.

Krimson-Rage5526d ago

Funnily enough Menach, whenever I (and others)suggest the same thing about CRYSIS 2, I get set upon in the same way by people declaring me "brainwashed", "in denial" and a "fanboy", so please don't suggest KZ3 fans are somehow the lowest of the low.

Best game of 2011 so far. Enough said.

LittleBigPlanet 2 takes that award so far this year for me. Don't get me wrong, Killzone 3 was great but i don't think it was as good as Killzone 2.

yea so far, lbp2 comes close to it though but kz3 beats it because its so much better than the one before 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.

FinalFantasyFanatic539d 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.

Storm23539d 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.

lockedongamer1539d ago (Edited 539d 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!

Chocoburger530d 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.

1Victor1105d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar1105d ago

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

jznrpg1105d ago

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

badz1491105d 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!

Vengeance11381105d 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 Kim1105d ago

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

VersusDMC1105d 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?

Vengeance11381105d ago

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

solideagle1105d 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.

Phoenix761105d 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

thesoftware7301105d ago (Edited 1105d 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.

blacktiger1105d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca1105d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

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

OzzY-waZZy1105d ago (Edited 1105d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

lukasmain1105d ago

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

Imalwaysright1105d ago

There were rumours that they were working on a Socom reboot.

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

MadLad1856d 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.

Applejack1856d 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_B1856d ago

Even emulators are super simple to use.

jukins1856d 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.

1856d ago
Vegamyster1856d 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.

SinkingSage1856d ago

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

Rachel_Alucard1856d ago (Edited 1856d 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.

MadLad1855d ago

Did you purposely miss the entire point of my post?

Inverno1856d 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
