| Baggins said: Fanboy nonsense, you haven't been critical at all. Not in the slightest. You've just answered the critical points with defensive remarks to make the game look better. You haven't agreed with a singla negative remark and even twist the negative into a positive. Are we supposed to take this seriously? I haven't played the game, but this is purely aimed at your journalistic style, not the game. I'm only posting this at you because you're implying a critical opinion but it's nothing short of fanboy defense rhetoric. I think the main negative from what I gather of reading the reviews is that it's just a generic shooter and 4 years too late Now, how about you explain what it does right, why it is better than all the other shooters out there. Finally why we should buy it, not "why we should not not buy it"!!! Do you get me? You haven't said why it's good, you've just said why it isn't bad! |
Me with fanboy nonsense? Are you serious? Please check out my other posts regarding Killzone 2. I have been critical of the game, or more like critical of the buzz about the game. If you don't know what I have written, you wouldn't know it. Anyone want to chime in here and argue how I have been a fanboy? I had been harsh about it. But what can I say? The main knock I have with the game is that I wasn't able to bring up aim assist (it can use it). That's right, that is my main knock on it. I pointed out other criticisms of the game, and why I don't think they matter. I did mention them though, if you read my comments.
As far as the main complaint you see, that it is a "generic shooter and 4 years too late", I am not sure how anyone can say that, considering it happens to bring together just about everything and executes well. If, for example, you want a game with Call of Duty 4 online stat building AND bots, this is your only option. It takes the concept and refines it. It is formulastic in this regard, but I believe it works.
The reality is that it doesn't need to be better than any other shooter out there. It just needs to be good enough to consider trying and buying, and I agree. I am sorry if I didn't flag what is good or bad here, but this is what I wrote regarding it:
My thoughts:
* The game engine IS impressive. It works well. Sony needs to reuse it for other FPS titles they are doing. I do want to see how the engine works on a more organically based world, rather than the dust-pile know as Helghan.
* The game is harder to aim right without aim assist. It makes me feel like why people say mouse and keyboard are better.
* The backstory and storyline is great.
* Rico is a %@^%#^@%^!
* Yes, BOTS!
* The ISA are slime. They are. They have questionable motives in what they are doing.
I also mentioned that the game deserves to be the discussion for best console FPS. I believe it does. What I am NOT going to do here, however, is go into and discuss every single facet of the game, like I am some sort of ultimate authority on this. You can read other people's reviews, and look to my comments on this.
By the way, I am going to go into the original post and try to add comments to how to beat the final boss darked.
