I'd tell you, but you seem so fixated on the graphics and such that there's no point to talk about the actual storyline from the Killzone games.

It's the style of the game. It's art. If you can't appreciate it that's fine, there's plenty of other games out there willing to give you sunshine and happy colors.

ohhh yes because war is all about rainbows and bunnys. if i am correct the planet is poluted right?.

Here's a bit of the backstory: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=n4ni6qgr_OA

(intro to Killzone 1)

It's like a warzone what do you expect, unicorns and rainbows?

this is some real hate before the game comes out

VGChartz happens to be a place that is buzzing about it far more than the rest of the world.  You can say it is hate, but do you call talk of KZ2 having better graphics than Crysis balanced?

War is meant to be hell, and inflict as much misery on the enemy as possible to break their will.  If a game set out to do that to the players, I am not sure how many positive reviews it woudl be getting.  Videogames are meant to be fun, and romanticize war, and the thrill of crushing your enemy under your boot.  What helps in doing this, is to have a variety of environments, enemies and things to do, and have it execute well.

There are design and artistic choices that go into picking out what environments a game should take place.  Just because Helghast is that, doesn't mean you need to set the game there at all.  

It's not on the 360.

Hate threads ftw.
