Forums - Sony Discussion - Killzone: Shadow Fall is one of the worst FPS's I have ever played...

Tagged games:

After recently playing and platinuming Battlefield 4 on PS4, I decided to take a break and go back to playing Killzone: Shadow Fall. I then quickly remembered why I ever put the game down and bought BF4 in the first place... This game f*cking sucks.

It breaks my heart to admit, but Killzone: Shadow Fall is easily one of the worst FPS's I have ever played. It almost competes with CoD in terms of sheer garbage quality. I've been a huge fan of the series ever since 2. I spent countless hours playing 3, which is still one of my multiplayer titles to date. Why is this one just so bad? It's like they dumped everything that made the last two amazing and focused on creating a literal CoD clone. The weapons are terrible, the spawn camping is unbelievable, the maps are way too tightly knit, the realistic weighty feel of the weapons is gone, and everything just feels so damn compressed. Not to mention the boasted locked in 60 FPS in the MP has become pretty nonexistent as the game's framerate is god awful now for some reason. I've always held Killzone to such a high standard and this addition to the series just blows my mind. The only genuinely good thing about the game is that the graphics are still amazing and the attention to detail in the environents is astounding, but that's it. Don't even get me started on the single player element. 

I'm gonna take Shadow Fall as a sign that Guerilla Games has just been really hard at work on their new IP. I still look foward to seeing more info on that, but as far as this game is concerned, I barely even care about potential DLC anymore. Thank god I didn't waste my money on the season pass just yet... Hopefully the co-op and a future expansion can at least help somewhat.

At least it isnt the worst. cuz if it were, you sure would not have played Call of Duty 3.

lol at the first sentence.
I'm not even going to read this



Killzone was always mediocre in my eyes. I didn't see what was so special back then and even now.

I'm not sure you've played many FPS games if Shadow Fall qualifies as one of the worst. I will agree with the idea that it's not nearly as good as Battlefield 4 and isn't worth $60.



I loved the multiplayer and enjoyed the single player.



It's a great looking game, arguably the best looking video game to date. I do think it's rather bland, though. It seems to be the general consensus going by internet reviews and ratings. It's the second lowest Killzone title on Metacritic, next to the maligned original.

Play haze or daikatana, that will quickly recalibrate your understanding of 'worst fps'. I haven't noticed the dropped framerate that you have, and though the weight of movement has been lowered, its still not cod light yet. And considering the amount of crap killzone has received in the past for being too heavy (like playing in treacle) I don't blame guerilla games for changing it up, and in my opinion they've reached a good balance.



Yahtzee obviously has a different view to you (and most of the rest of the game reviewing media).

And unless BF4 is amazeballs better than BF4 I think you could possibly re-skin his BF3 review and figure that will be his review of BF4. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/4948-Battlefield-3

Of course I can't speak from experience because I dislike all FPS so I'll never play either. But at least Yahtzee's opinions have credibility to me.
