Edge killzone review - 7/10, Finally an honest review
... i.e. "Finally! A review that I personally agree with."
"Jayge said:as did it to me. Also cmon dude. if everyone else gives it a 9/10 and one review outlet gives it a 7, what makes the seven the only good review. Honeslty. Your on crack. I sold my ps3 and i regret that now because i want this game so badly"Wraith said:haha that made me lol""Wraith said:my clan members from socom.""Wraith said:garbage control scheme.""Dude... what?"socom"
"http://www.n4g.com/ps3/News-273483.aspxI'm sure Guerilla is shaking in their boots that a few people are canceling their preorders of their game, and come from a buggy game already. I'm pretty sure you can change up the control scheme, too.i Knew i could trust Edge to give an honest review.I already canceled my preorder after playing that horrible demo with borken controls, as did most of my clan members from socom. Screw you Guerilla games, shove your garbage control scheme."
yeah, when the game comes out i bet this douche will be like "damn it, i shouldn't cancel my pre-order"
Didn't have any trouble with the controls. Just changed them around and they work fine.
/shrug. Think I will pay more attention to the other reviewers that hold more clout and not the people I rarely ever even hear about.
Errr... Later and en... joy... Socom?
I find edge to be completely fucking terrible honestly, so their amazing "honest review" can rot. I could give a shit less about reviews anyway, I'll play the game myself and judge it. I already have my own opinion on plenty from the demo. Make your own opinions and stick to them, don't fucking wait for someone else to agree with you and make it sound like its the greatest thing ever, and you and them are obviously right and no one else is. Its just stupid.

Yes it is. The guy sounds like he's just scared to have money leave his wallet or something. hehCreamyGoodness said:

1. please dont link to n4g.com
2.Any thing linked from n4g.com regardless of originator is instantly suspect.
3.n4g.com is shit and the scum of the gaming net.
4.stories are chosen not for they're relevance to gaming, or importance but for fanboy tastes and to get points.
5.Most stories n4g.com are ment as flame bait.
P.S: im still geting killzone 2 either purchase or rent.
"Crysis for graphics tard.From what I've heard, I don't care about incremmental differences in scores, bottom line for me;
"
-CoD4 style multiplayer and gameplay
-best graphics of any game this gen
-clan support
Whatever various outlets give this in terms of numerical scores, is ultimately irrlelevant to me. This is a day 1 purchase for me.
"Wraith said:Exactly."Wraith said:my clan members from socom.""Wraith said:garbage control scheme.""Dude... what?"socom"
"Wraith said:HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!"...Edge to give an honest review. "Stopped reading here."
"Wraith said:Not even joking, this may be the funniest/well thought out post I've ever seen on a forum."Wraith said:my clan members from socom.""Wraith said:garbage control scheme.""Dude... what?"socom"
So did you really just make a GB account to bash this game? Sweet. Guess what? I'll buy my copy of Killzone 2, just as I was going to, and enjoy it. While you sit at home playing Viva Pinata.
Haven't read whole thread. [Stealth edited for reasons of stupid point]. Don't really care that only one reviewer of approximately 40 didn't think the game was "OMGAMAZING" but instead just "good".
(Edits are for the lulz)
EDIT2:
EDIT3:
The idea of using a review to back up your personal opinion of a game is stupid. If you don't like the game, fine, that's your opinion, you're free to have it, but why do you need someone else to justify it? You're an individual, you don't need someone to back up your opinion for it to be valid. Especially when it sounds like 7/10 doesn't really back up your opinion at all, since 7 is a pretty respectable score, and it seems that you think the game is far below respectable.
(and I also laughed at jayges post)
"Wraith said:+9 and counting. That made me laugh, btw."Wraith said:my clan members from socom.""Wraith said:garbage control scheme.""Dude... what?"socom"
@ the TC, if you don't like a game, don't say that a review is "right" or not because of what your opinion is. Killzone 2 is gonna be bad-ass, but there are bound to be a few reviews out there that give it an average review. Every game has that.
"get2sammyb said:More to the point how can I disagree with a review I haven't read. I can't. Silly point to make really... what I was trying to say was based on the demo it feels much more than a 7. Things could go extremely downhill in any portion of the FULL game but simply based on the demo... well."Haven't read whole thread. Disagree with this review.
How can you disagree with a review for a game you haven't even played?"
I don't know how much I can say because I'm under embargo but... I got a review copy of FEAR 2 today and have been playing that. I decided to switch to Killzone 2 demo in between a session of FEAR 2 to see how they compared and well... Oh my goodness. That's no 7/10 even if the remaining 6 hours and 50 minutes of the game are an episode of the Teletubbies on loop.
EDIT: Although just to clarify I still think a 7/10 is a very respectable score from an outlet like EDGE who actually use their full scale.
This went well didnt it.
Anyway, I am still looking forward to this game. I havent read the review that the TC linked to but I will check it out and see what they thought of the game to give it a 7 (which is still a good score). Every one else seems to be awarding this game 9+ scores or 4-5 out of 5 etc. They must have picked up on something to go that far below the curve. I look forward to playing this game for myself.
"Pibo47 said:Ahh...Im talking out of my ass because your saying KZ2 is the best looking thing this gen, and Crysis came out in THIS gen, making it the best looking game. And funny how you brought up gameplay, when the word didnt come out of my mouth. And tbh KZ2's gameplay does not look that great, i am interested by the cover system quite a bit though."bartholomew999 said:Don't bash on him you tard!"Crysis for graphics tard."From what I've heard, I don't care about incremmental differences in scores, bottom line for me;

Crysis is a game we shouldn't be counting.
If you really want Crysis to run like Killzone 2 on a PS3 you'll be paying 3000$/3000€ which is a ridiculous amount.
That's an ridiculous amount of money for a "platform". Also Crytek said in an interview they're not meant to be this gen. They're more for the PCs of 2012.
And by the way, I saw maxed out videos of Crysis and then I saw 720p HD videos on Killzone on a plasma-tv and guess what Killzone looks way more convincing to me.
Crysis's gameplay sucks anyways, every rich guy just buys it for its graphics and then throws it away cause gameplay = garbage.
The clear winner is Killzone
- Visual Overall
- Gameplay

"...7 is one step above mediocre.
When did 7 become a bad score?
-Points to Wraith's description of Demo and controls, looks at score, scratches head-
Bad games do not get Sevens! Seven is good!"
"Jensonb said:O NOES!!!!!"...7 is one step above mediocre."

While the controls are...slightly awkward...the game itself merits more than a 7/10 judging off the admittedly short demo.
I'd say a 8.5 is at least the right score, most likely a 9 (can't really tell- the difference is in features/lasting value)
Also my System costs for the parts about £300 now and it runs Crysis on Very High at 40FPS. So the whole £3000 thing is just from people who don't know what they're talking about when it comes to building or upgrading a PC.
"And the battle to define a false sense of "good taste" ravages onward."It always will...
I'm pretty sure 99% of general population would agree that killzone 2 > socom.
You guys are questioning Edge magazine? They are the most professional mag in the entire business.
Their review won't make me not buy Killzone 2 which I'll get on day one, but it confirms my suspicions that it isn't the revolution in gaming that so many are painting it as.
Steve Jarrett based Edge on being a consummate professional magazine and to hear you simpletons take the word of official magazines and the woefully staffed by terrible reviewers sites like 1up and Gamespot over them makes me cringe.
From Edge magazine, 7 is an amazing score.
Read up on what Edge magazine actually is before you dismiss it as simply a crappy magazine.
"Read up on what Edge magazine actually is before you dismiss it as simply a crappy magazine."I've read Edge multiple times and read up on Edge before. They're reviewers are jokes. Don't even try to hype that shit. They're just as bad as any corporate review machine.
Stupid thread is stupid.
Edge always gives out harsh review scores. If you actually read the review you would know they praised the game and the only negative was the story. So I'm guessing you just looked at the score. In Edge score terms a 5 = Average. While in most other magazines and websites 7 = Average.
Also about the controls. You can change the control scheme. Also One 7/10 and you might it like the game is bad. The majority of Killzone 2's reviews have been 9/10.
"TeflonBilly said:What the hell? Edge actually treats video games as an industry with history and worth outside money in the pockets of publishers and developers."Read up on what Edge magazine actually is before you dismiss it as simply a crappy magazine."I've read Edge multiple times and read up on Edge before. They're reviewers are jokes. Don't even try to hype that shit. They're just as bad as any corporate review machine."
I've often disagreed with their reviews, but never found them to be unreasonable in their assessment of stuff.
Hell, from any other publications, I'd consider 7 a travesty from the impression I have of Killzone 2 so far. Let me stress that IMPRESSION!
But seeing fanboy morons who've never even heard of this mag before impugn their credibility really ticks me off.
