5.5 million sales and numerous GoTY awards? I can live with that.
Seriously? GTA4?
Let me explain this to you.
There had been no GTA for four years. People would see anything with the words "Grand Theft Auto" on the front cover, and love the game. Admit it, you loved it when it first released. Everybody did. They were too caught up in there being another Grand Theft Auto to care about any flaws.
It was only a few days and weeks later that people began to notice that something was wrong, that GTA4 was missing something. The reviews had been written before this had set in. They were bound to give it GoTY awards, because they'd all given it perfect scores.
Killzone 2 is nothing like this. Sure, Killzone released 5 years ago, but nobody really loved it the way they loved San Andreas. It got average reviews, sold pretty well, and was listed as one of the many mediocre titles on the PS2, overshadowed by games like God of War and Shadow of The Colossus.
Something like "broken controls" would be noticed immediately, by everyone. Notice that pretty much every single person who has given it a chance, and not whined "Waah waah not CoD4, SUCKS!" has ended up loving the game? Killzone 2 does not have broken controls. They are just harder to use than those in CoD4, because there's no nice auto aim to hold your hand.
If you gave the game a chance, you would like it too.
