killzone 2 multiplayer is a perfect example of people not knowing what they had until it was gone.
I remember the complaints vividly. "the game feels too heavy", "it should be more like COD" etc. Well they gave them what they wanted with KZ3, made it more like COD. And then the complaints were "I liked how KZ2 was".
Sometimes (not all the time), it doesn't pay to listen to the fans. Because even when you give them what they want, they still complain
Yeah I'd point to comments like that being Echo chambers people who are satisfied with something don't have a inclination to speak out so the game in its original state would have been great but the changes drive the players who were happy with the state of kz2 to complain when 3 dropped.
Probably the biggest example of this was the launch of the X1 many people hated the online activations and used game policy being tied to a cd key etc so it went away followed by many people saying they preferred the original vision for game swapping digitally and other things neither side is right or wrong it's just that corporations will go to damage control to appease the outcry initially
They are just faking and showing up for no logical reason like writing critical reviews and I know the review system is flawed with holes and your point is one of them , cause many gamers don't represent them actually. "And I really hate them when they find nothing to complain they label it as an ol gray dark brown trend from the 90s with a large slow extension accent ".
You can make some of the people happy all of the time, all of the people happy some of the time, but you can't make all of the people happy all of the time.
I never liked fps or multi player game but kz2 was awesome. Spent countless nights playing MP. Still vividly remember holding a post as the enemies charged towards us. My God! Will never forget this game. The game's design gave it a different post apocalyptic vibe.
I don't like FPS games. Just don't. Gave This one a go, and the single player was eh for me. But the multiplayer? I actually really enjoyed this game online. To be clear, last game I really enjoyed online before that was Warhawk.
Amen. Sadly you can't ever please everyone. And people LOVE to complain. This maybe sounds like lala land, but it would be so nice if people tried to find the good in things instead of complaining most of the time.
I think GG should revive the franchise now. I mean, it's been long enough, and I'm sure the new game engine they have will be more than enough to run it, and such.
Killzone MP had a lot of variety. What I wasn't a fan of was the "heavy" feeling. It was a bit too much.
I remember picking up shadow fall, and the community was dead within months. I loved KZ2 definitely top of the line, I was all over that and Gears at the time. Too bad, it didn't last :(
KZ2 was the best MP Shooter experience on console. I absolutely loved the gameplay, and I hoped they made the MP system to be the standard across Sony Titles and on the platform, but they scrapped it as soon as KZ3. What an absolute shame. It's Clan support, arranged match support, messaging etc should have been integrated to PSN.
Ignoring all of the controversy, when this game was released it felt good and looked amazing. Had no interest in 3 or Shadow. I think I just enjoyed the colot pallet of this futuristic shooter and the fact we were taking the fight to the Helgast
I played through 3 with the sharpshooter on my 3d projector screen and 7.1 surround. It was crazy fun. I was very tired after 2 days of solid playing to beat the game.
This sounds really easy to setup, just a DNS change in the network settings. I'm gunna wait until it can be done via RPCS3 though as i don't have a PS3 anymore + i want that 60fps.
Dear God KZ2 multi-player was God tier. Jesus I can't remember the last time a MP shooter has had me as satisfied as KZ2. Holy mother of God I genuinely enjoyed this games campaign and MP.
I loved how you could cutomize a match. I recall a truly epic 3 hour match on beach head that is likely the best 3 hours of online gaming that I've ever experienced
It would have been nice if companies released server software OR allowed people to rent servers (maybe community fund the servers, if money is the issue) at the product's end of intended life.
Killzone 2 multiplayer will never be surpassed

We need a Killzone where we play as the Hellghast.
Brings a tear to my eye. Thank you modders.
Cool 🤙
