DEAD SPACE 2 is another example - It didn't "reinvent the genre" that it created with DS1, yet was showered with far more praise and high scores.
Too many reviews of KZ3 are declaring from the off that it's "just another FPS"... So are they reviewing the game or the genre?
KZ2 6-8 hrs (presuming you're actually playing to enjoy the game and not bleat about it) - GG says KZ3 is longer (again, same caveat as above), and yet people are taking this 4.5 hrs as holy writ?
How easily led some trolls are...
Can the person who offered this "proof" prove that it was his first play-through? Once you know where you're going and what has to be done, a game must logically be easier to complete the second time round.
Given the usual (why does it still surprise me?) smears aimed at yet another PS3 excluive, it's very easy to believe that someone raced through the game PURELY to point fingers like a petulant child and bleat "look, look"
SO, one bubble doesn't automatically equal "troll" as Lamback suggested. Didn't realise I had to spell it out.
There was 'proof' that GOW 3 lasted only 6-8 hours, but it still took me nearly twice that as I actually took time to, you know, ENJOY the game rather than dash through to win a troll-point.
Correction: Some excellent, some good. I would hardly call that 'mixed'.
No, they love the review, not the man.
Everyone said the story to KZ2 was awful too, yet I didn't think so - Good job I didn't "PASS", eh? Pity you're so easily led by people with an agenda as to miss out on quality games though.
Hey, I agree that KZ3 is getting gtreat reviews, but then you have this (copied from another thread here on N4G by user "ABI980" as a response to an 8.5 review):
"Fail Zone 3 only on Patch Station 3"
That sort of idiocy would try the patience of a saint.
After the release of GT5, pretty much every PS3 fan who posted positive comments about the game lost at least one bubble whether they were trolling or not.
They also got scores of 'disagrees' within minutes of making those posts. Seems certain other parties, with vitriol in their hearts, only come out when a high-profile PS3 exclusive gets released.
Xbox kids cry too much. Kz3 is getting good reviews, but anything under 9 and those people scream "flop". PATHETIC!
Works both ways son. And sorry to point it out yet again, but it's the INCONSISTANCY that people have issue with. COD BLOPS gets away with it's "cretinous" story while KZ3 doesn't. No conspiracy there, just hypocrisy.
And the trolls have the NERVE to acuse PS3 fans of "whinging" whenever a score goes below '9', yet the same bleating drones leap on exactly the same scores as proof that a game is a 'flop'... have you no shame?
Fairness and no gratuitous nit-picking... Too much to ask?
Just playing a few minutes ago - Downloaded remarkable fast too!
It's the 2-part Frozen Dam (with Warzone and Guerilla Warfare options) level from the previous Beta, but improved upon considerably; better lighting, better weapons, better sound... just BETTER! The suppressed weapons are awesome, specially since they fire in short bursts.
Slavering for the full game now!
Oh gawd, I love KILLZONE!
Good grief, they're virtually unrecognisable (and I mean that in a good way)!
Amazing stuff.
Oh gawd, I SO want to play KZ1 remastered - It was good enough originally, but a bit of spit n' polish would work wonders on the early Vektan city & park levels (my favourite parts)
Liked both of those maps but Pyrrhus Rise remains my favourite, along with Beachhead (which was in itself a 'retro map'!)
No complaints at all from me though - Seeing any gorgeous KZ2 map getting even more beautiful is treat enough!
Hope there's a Botzone, as I'm not good enough to play against real people!
A five bubble troll... you must be new or have connections.
