From what I read it doesn't seem too bad. The large quote says it all for me.

It seems like what everyone though from the start, that the multiplayer was going to be the birghtest part of this game and also expected to have quite a following.

 

@Squilliam

Seems I misunderstood what you meant. I guess it helps knowing you have shown consistency in this belief. You enjoyed Fable II didn't you? What did you feel it deserved?

My apologies.

Apology accepted.

Fable 2 is a hard game to quantify. On the one hand I appreciate theres a unique brilliance to the game and if you appreciate that side you'll find it to be a great and unique experience and on the other you may find many of the gameplay elements to be subjective and inconsistant. Considering there is room to improve in the game with the brilliance which was infused with it a fair score has to be somewhere around the 3.5-4.5 mark depending on how Molenoux's 'brilliance' resonates with you and how much value some of the subjective elements add or take from the game. Personally I would give it around a 4.2 or 84% because its a game which I really did love but I have to concede that it could have been better in hindsight.

 



Tease.

Meh, aren't people expecting lower scores from Edge compared to other reviewers though?

edge was always full of shiet, still is.

What piece of crap criteria do this people use to rate games anyway? I remember the Resistance 2 review being a nonsense rant from an obvious biased writer... The could go public and call games like Zelda Ocarina of Time and Final Fantasy 7 pieces of crap for all I care. That magazine fails .

From that I've seen in that gaf thread, the review is pretty positive overall. The say the game has amazing multiplayer, and some of the best AI seen in a game yet.

Here's a quote from the final paragraph of the review:

Thanks largely to its online play, Killzone 2 should find itself a fanbase no one can overlook.


One of the comments on the article:

Just finished reading Edge's review of this, they liked the gunplay, the story 'stinks', the Helghast provide some of the best enemy AI seen yet, FEAR is name checked along with Stalker and COD4, the levels could be played in any order and still have no effect on the plot, multiplayer is good and probably bolsters the score of 7/10


"liked the gunplay"

Take that, maxwell! The lowest review yet doesn't even knock the game's controls. :P

 

Gunplay =/= controls, take that MM :P

Gunplay is meaning more of the style, weapons, and feel, not the controls if it was the controls he would have stated controls and not "gunplay"

Are you implying that it could be really fun to play and shoot in a game while also having bad controls?  That makes no sense.

 

 

I'm implying he could have not been bothered by the control set-up as much, or maybe the final build is better then the demo, but he never said the game had amazing controls only amazing gunplay which is two totally different things.

You can't have good gunplay without good controls.  If the controls suck, as implied by you, then it would probably be troublesome to aim, and a pain to get around in general.  This apparently had no effect on the person.

He enjoyed shooting, despite whatever bad controls some may percieve the game to have.

 

 

I didn't say the controls suck, not once, I said it's uncomfotable and there's no excuse for there not to be custom controls when it's so easy to program in.  Get it straight before you say something :P

 

You didn't say that specifically, but what you said was close enough:


maxwellgt2000 Earthbound > all: no it plays like shit like Resistance


And then when I debated that it plays like Resistance:


maxwellgt2000 Earthbound > all: uhm
maxwellgt2000 Earthbound > all: the controls are much like resistance


In other words, you basically said it plays like shit like Resistance because the controls are just like Resistance.  Or rather, the controls are shit.  A gentler way to put that is that the controls suck.

Stop arguing semantics.  You claimed that that controls aren't good. However, most reviewers and those who played the beta or demo disgaree.
