Look man, fanboys are fanboys, they'll say the game sucks if they have never even seen it, but when someone has had hands on with it and has serious issues but wants to put their thoughts out there, you as a fan don't have to take up for the game, someone that has played it is generally wanting to build it up to be better, it's called constructive criticism, they don't want to tear down a game they want it to improve not just for them but in general.  Take for example IGN talking about control issues with CoD4 on the DS, the team saw this criticism and with WaW on DS they produced a bitching FPS for the DS with better online then Metroid on DS.

I'm not really angry I just get irritated when I enjoy something but if I don't agree with the masses on one subject it's like "then why do you even play/own/buy ____" it's basically asking me why do you even play games to me, I enjoy them, it's one of my hobbies, but I've been gaming forever but never said a game was good because of hype it's always been my personal belief that certain things can improve.  I really hope that games could one day be taken serious as an art form like movies and music but as long as gamers pitch hissy fits over their favorite games it'll never happen, you don't see movie goers get in a flame war over Disney vs Universal or Tim Burton vs George Lucas, it's not that serious and you can give a game just like any other art form general up or down and say what needs to improve just people need to stop taking it so seriously and personal when a game they like gets criticism.

So in short, I appriciate you apologizing but I'm not angry only slightly peeved and thats due to people taking games so serious and personal, we've got to mature as a fanbase :P and thanks for listening it's much better then what most people would do, just know if I say something critical it's to build and inform not to tear down.

Yeah, you're always one of the people who has reasons for disliking a game. Most people don't. Killzone 2 could definitely be improved, not a single game comes to mind that couldn't be. I just believe that it's the best FPS I've ever played, factoring in the fact that I've played two levels of it and no multiplayer.

It just seems that more people dislike KZ2 because of what console it's on than because of actual faults it has (which I manage to overlook, but a lot of people don't). You're certainly not one of these people, you genuinely don't like the controls. I still think that if you gave it another chance, forgetting everything you know about what an FPS should be, just using the controls as they are set out, you'd get used to them and learn to love them.

 

KZ2 doesn't start bothering me until I start to zoom in and use cover, cause alt 2 works well for normal fighting but gets uncomfortable when I have to hold L2 to use cover when toggle crouch would make it more comfortable, and standard 1 works well while taking cover but not as comfortable to me while playing normally, so there's not that balance there for me.  It's not like I'm not going to play this game though because of it, I've played worse with worse AI, worse weapons, etc.  So Killzone with the issues is still a lot better then a lot of FPS games I've played on consoles.

BTW I do see issues even with my favorite games, like NMH has graphical issues and sometimes the combat can get repetative but doesn't mean I don't enjoy it, but I've only seen one game as perfect yet it's not even my favorite game of all time :P
