I definitely miss them. Pick up and play is the new trend now

I do welcome a learning curve, but if nothing else about the game is interesting to me, what is my motivation for working through that learning curve? My game time is so minimal that I don't have time to play a game I don't like just to prove my l33t-ness at teh headshotz. I think it's entirely possible for me to be a good gamer and not like Killzone 2 at the same time.

Glad to hear you considered me that skillful then even though I personally didn't feel very skilled lol. What's PSN ID were you using back then?

Killzone 2's visuals amazed me more than Uncharted 2's. I would say Killzone 2 has the edge during certain aspects, but Uncharted 2's visuals kind of just... flow better.

lol Maddness, you sure do change accounts a lot. I on the other had am resistant to change. All my accounts are of the format PristineXX where XX represents 2 numbers and I only play online as Pristine20.

Pick up and play is the new trend now Unfortunately. To me, it's WHY Killzone 2 is so great. It wasn't "camera-on-a-stick, lightning fast, unrealistic movement. It had weight, first-person cover, and above all, was a BLAST to play. It's a shame more FPS games don't take as many risks, the genre really feels saturated with the same ol', same ol'.

Yup, gun battles are the best part of kz2 MP IMO. Your reasons are  also part of the reason  why it feels like no other MP FPS makes the cut IMO and I have to wait fo kz3. The Battlefield demo was boring with its lack of action. MAG looked like a very old game and was no fun either IMO. KZ2's sound is also one of its hidden gems that hardly anyone gives it credit for.

The graphics are definitely good but all the warehouse/factory buildings get old after a while. The desert levels were amazing. I was disappointed that there wasn't more of that in multiplayer.

 I don't think the gamers changed, but the devs that realized their games would sell way more if they target the casual audience, which outnumbers the hardcore by tons.

As for games with steep learning curves, Warhawk is very underrated.

kz2,yeap no excuse (except no liking fps...) not to try/get at least used when you get a ps3...
still fire it up and start the campaign again from the start time-to-time.... :)

and remember when everyone was calling bs the gfx and that it will never be released... :)
