Forums - Sony Discussion - VGCharts members, what do you think of Killzone 2?

Let this be the official "members of VGChartz come put your review of Killzone 2 in here" thread.  List what you like about the game, or what you dislike.  What you think needs improvement, or what already excells past your expectations.  Did you enjoy the online modes?  See anything you didn't want, or perhaps notice the lack of something you did want?

I'll start:

The good:

The graphics are amazing!  The blend between gameplay and in-engine cinematic is almost unnoticeable!  There are pleny of times I thought to myself, is this scene a photograph or actually the game?!

The lighting and particle effects are insne.  Explosions, smoke, light coming through the windows, all look so realistic and beyond anything I've seen on a console before!

The gameplay is very fun, but still a typical shooter.  I think I will have to buy a dual shock controller just to fully enjoy all these explosions and gunfire!

The controls are great!  Almost identical to Call of Duty when using Alternate 2 and the only thing I'm not comfortable with so far is the crouch and zoom being right next to each other.

I actually am really impressed and enjoy the realistic "weight" feel when jumping and running.

The not so good:

The slight delay from button press to action on screen is still there, but luckily is not noticeable unless you are really paying attention or firing bursts.  The only real problem I have had with this is when trying to melee as it will be quite delayed and I will hit the button multiple times, so it continues on with the action even after I've stopped pressing the button.

The sensitivity and how the aiming accelerates/decelerates is a bit annoying, but I'm getting used to it.  It just makes my aiming a lot less precise than what I'm used to.

I wish there would have been an install because while the loading bits aren't too big to take away from gameplay, then can get annoying.  I have had one pause of nearly 3 seconds when playing the first few missions.  I also don't understand how it pre-loads for a small hallway, and then 3 seconds later it had to pre-load again before I left the hallway.  I think a simple 1-2gig install may have helped, but again, this doesn't hurt the game much at all and is still fully enjoyable.

 

What are your thoughts?

So far my only complaint is that the shooting is not as fluid as i would like, seems to be a little hesitant when i zoom in for some reason, but other than that this game is amazing



i have no input-delay, so idk wat ur talking about. anywayz the game is awesome however i have one tiny complaint which is that ur statistics aren't updated during an online game, this is because today i was playing a match and i racked up 100 kills and died only 10 times but there was a network problem and all my killz just vanish leaving me in anguish... :(

no complains here only that the graphics are a little to good it hurts my eyes then i go cockeyed and die :(



Amazing game. New king of the FPS for now imo. Beautiful level designs. Amazing gameplay. Cover system rules. Lightning gun made me dribble... Fast paced action. Online is ace with its own unique game mode system... love it Got my first trophies from this game too
All around... way worth the hype thats been associated, hopefully will gain enough sales because it really deserves it

Load up the campaign, and just sit there tapping the trigger. You tell me you see NO delay at all? Normally when I do this it is very noticeable. Not like a full second, only about a tenth of a second actually, but I can still tell.

Still not a big deal, and when in gunfight it is not noticeable.

I agree with BHR that you need to be able to blind fire from cover. I think it should adopt the Rainbow Six Vegas cover system and go third person when in cover.



The only issues i had with the game were a few dialogues here and there that seemed out of place, and that your allies oaccationally were pretty stupid. It wasn't very often though, but once a while.

Everything else i thought was pure fucking awesome ! The game is amazing.

You feel like wanting to say to the helghast: This is the end of you and your pathetic rebel alliance" when you fire the lightning gun ! XD one of the most awesome guns in any game evar ! i want to be able to have it in all the levels XD

Multiplayer is also epic btw.



Check out my game about moles ^

yeah RBS vegas gameplay is awsome so many people don't like it though i think that its had the best gameplay in a fps yet

IDK know about going in TPS though i think the way they have it in KZ is good they should add more of viewing angles while in cover blind fire was in and it looked really good don't know Y they took it out dives and rolls from cover to cover should be the next area FPS game should focus on unless they don't want me to buy FPS games

the promblem with RBS is that u cant see wats in front of u wen in cover only wats behind the cover
