"Without a doubt Killzone 2 is the best FPS on the PS3 to date."

I'm sorry, but no. I'm playing through it now to try and get ready for KZ3 and some of the shooting is really poor. I can take my time and aim and try and pop bullets into enemies and nothing happens. I then free-shoot from terrible angles behind cover and I get the kill. The game looks stunning and so much fun but if the shooting is off in an FPS then the whole game is going to suffer.

Mista T5026d ago

I agree, basically everyone bought it cause "omg teh graphics"

Nate-Dog5026d ago (Edited 5026d ago )

@Paradise: Fair enough, to each their own, but do you honestly think KZ2 is the best FPS out there on the PS3?

FragGen5026d ago (Edited 5026d ago )

@paradise:
Total Agreement KZ2 is probably my favorite single player FPS of all-time (#2 == COD4). People whine about the guns because they are morons and can't shoot. The main p"problem" with the KZ2 guns is that they feel way more realistic to me than the laser guns in COD/BFBC2 or anything else and most lazyboy FPS Rambos can't handle it.

On top of that the multi-player is WAY underrated. I have about forty games for my PS3 and I'd say KZ2 is hovering in the top 3.

It's almost a shame the graphics are so astonishing because it's kept people from recognizing that there is even more to love about that game.

Pennywise5026d ago

I like KZ2. I also like Resistance 2... but MY fav is MAG by far.

Megaton5026d ago (Edited 5026d ago )

I have yet to try MAG, but I've got a friend who bought that game and a PS3 in January, and he's pretty much played nothing but that ever since. He wasn't even a huge FPS fan to begin with.

FragGen5026d ago

MAG sucks dog balls. They're basically rewriting it because it's failing so hard. The player base fell apart at an astonishing rate and as a "massive" multiuplayer only game with not enough players to sustain the ginormous modes (256 player), it has become a total trainwreck.

Zipper is doing a "beta" of the new version of it next week (beta free with retail game purchase LOL) to try to reboot the thing.

As someone who got it day one and has logged quite bit of time on it in its early days as a clan member, it's a mess.

Nykamari5026d ago

No you CODbabies cried about MAG! MAG is the BEST FPS OUT! Sit and learn the gameplay mechanics you'll see! This gen is full of players whom want everyhing eazy! Penny hit a brother up let's go hunting in MAG together psn: nykamari.

u suck in kz2 mp, doesnt mean game is bad.

" omg i cant shoot, where the heck is auto aim, i want blitz l1,r1 killssssssssssss"

Mista T5026d ago

typical excuse, if a game is fun, it shouldn't matter you go 5-20 k/d or 20-5 k/d.

Timesplitters series is great example where fun factor is #1.

CBaoth5026d ago (Edited 5026d ago )

No secret Free Radical made TS, but now since they're under Crytek's umbrella, they've been handling the MP for C2. I've read several glowing previews of the MP portion too. Confined layouts like CoD's but vertical like UC2 lead to intense firefights and a good balance.

Megaton5026d ago (Edited 5026d ago )

Madness. The multiplayer in KZ2 was a lot of fun. I get that a lot of the bitching and moaning comes from people who couldn't handle the different controls, but come on. That's on you. I love class-based multi in FPS, and I loved how game types were cycled mid-match in KZ2.

Even plain old body count at Radec Academy was a blast, win or lose. Watching each team storm the other's base, or clash halfway in the courtyard. Pure fun.

Mista T5026d ago

somebody marked me for trolling above, if you disagree with me, press the disagree button, don't cry so hard that you go far into right field and report for trolling.

There are no "thoughtful" ads in video games, EA

I think the only type of games that can gets away with it would be sport games, having those sponsors ads on the side like on real life.

But don't put freaking Doritos ads in Star Wars or something, it breaks the immersion. If it is a pop-up ads, then big no.

Hofstaderman7d ago

EA can thoughtfully eff themselves.

Makersbreath27d ago

EA coming back for the crown of being perceived as the worst company in gaming.

Chocoburger6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

One of my favorite series is the THPS franchise, and it was packed with ads, but it didn't bother me. Posters for skateboard companies, JEEP, and Nokia phones. It did sort of fit in with the game world, but that was the past, these days ad would be intentionally intrusive or unskippable loading screen type of imagery. Ugh, I know EA would do it in a horrible fashion. Screw them.

Report: Sexual Misconduct Investigation Conducted at EA, Suspects Named and What They Did Revealed

EA senior staff has been investigated for sexual misconduct involving female coworkers, and these said people have been named publicly.

isarai13d ago

Aye just call Phil, i mean he somehow made Bobby Kotick's scandal disappear and gave him a few million dollar high five on the way out.

Cacabunga12d ago

I wonder if it will be censored with some in game ads.

MrBaskerville10d ago (Edited 10d ago )

Microsoft did, Phil Spencer played a minor part. He instigated the buyout that led to Kotick escaping all his controversies while getting a golden handshake.

Someone on Twitter calculated that the people hired in Tango and Arkane Austin could get a decent salary for roughly 17 years for the money Kotick was paid.

InUrFoxHole9d ago

Yeah some thing tells me Kotics $ was already guaranteed before MS made the deal. As for the studios... Let's be honest here... none of those studios made system sellers.

XiNatsuDragnel12d ago (Edited 12d ago )

EA about to go down like Activision and then Phil saves the day saying.this is good for the industry and consolidation will help create competition. /s.

MrBaskerville10d ago

Then they shutdown Codemasters and studio behind Jedi Survivor.

Atleast they could hardly do much damage that EA hadn't allready done. EA has shut down most of their studios by now.

ravens5212d ago

What's up with all these horny creeps. You gon be horny, fine. Just not at work take care of that shit before you go in. Rub one out if you have to. Don't be a creep at all. ESPECIALLY at work. But don't be one AT ALL.

Extermin8or3_12d ago

I mean part of the issue is that things transpired outside of work....

MrBaskerville10d ago

That's the thing he mentioned about not being a creep at all.

KwietStorm_BLM12d ago

You think deviants care where they are? Work sometimes makes it an even better situation for them because they can abuse their power.

mudakoshaka12d ago

Nerds think they are Gods when they are making video games.

NotoriousWhiz12d ago (Edited 12d ago )

"it seems that according to EA, given the events transpired outside of work between two adults, and the fact that once investigation has started that the alleged perpetrators didn’t do it again, the investigation is considered closed. [...] The victim still has to work with the people that harassed her."

Yep, EA is disgusting.

Extermin8or3_12d ago

I mean the fact stuff happened outside of work puts EA in quite a difficult position legally. These women don't seem to have reported the matter to the police which kinda ties EA's hands on what they can do. If they don't file reports of the crimes then yeah from EA's perspective it is stuff that happened outside of work. The only exception is the guy that apparently referenced things in the slack channel for work, spending on what he said proving it may be very hard and he may well be able to get away with plausible deniability. I don't like EA and I think these people need to be dismissed but without any legal action being taken, EA can't really do much without risk of being sued themselves for unfair dismissal etc.

Well, anything to make those shareholders happy, I guess. They're all that matters in this industry nowadays.

EA stocks haven't been profitable in over 5yrs. They better hope Take-two don't get the FIFA license lol.
