    "What the hell? Edge actually treats video games as an industry with history and worth outside money in the pockets of publishers and developers.
    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."
    Edge. Is. Nothing. Special. Repeat that several times. Realization will come eventually.

    You are quite an ignorant baboon aren't you? Bad control Scheme? Did it ever struck you the idea that you CAN change the layout from an option called: OPTIONS?? Just wondering, because, you DO sound like a pity ignorant brat.
    Cheerios mate, hope you enjoy SOCOM, cause I do as well but, KZ2 is a completely different thing kiddo.

    Sorry bro, but we're just gonna have to disagree there.
    Their features are way more in-depth than any fluff piece blowing the proverbial dick of the next big blockbuster.
    I will resign myself to saying they've lost a step or two over the last couple of years, but they're still a step above most publications in credibility.
    When people who have a keen interest in the industry and not just people wanting the latest graphical wankfest mention Edge, you notice it's slightly more revered than Nintendo Power and whatnot. Seriously, please direct me to a magazine which would be the equivalent of Edge on the market now?
    No offense to NESter and Howard :P

    So because it's low, it must be honest right?

    I may not personally care for KZ2 at all (and after playing the demo at Pip's house, I still don't), but that doesn't mean people aren't entitled to their own opinions.  From what I'm to understand, tons of people love the thing...and that's cool.  In 4 or 5 months, that's when we'll see if it's still the game everyone has been expecting.  The first KZ got great reviews when it came out, but people quickly tired of it.  Now, the multiplayer on that was very stripped down, basic, and online wasn't a huge deal at the time.

    From the reviews I've read, the single player campaign is pretty bare bones and kind of dry, while the multiplayer is fucking phenomenal.  That may hold true for a while, too.  Fucked if I know.  I'm not a psychic.  If I were a psychic, though, I would say that KZ2 will have a huge player base to start and then you will see it slowly dwindle away until, in about 5 months, the community is about 50% less than when it started.  Hopefully, that won't happen, because it would be nice to see the PS3 get a first-party title that kills it in the multiplayer online market.  I don't hate the PS3, but it's been underwhelming to me this generation.

    In the end, though...that review was pretty horrible.  =  /  Also, don't mention the word "SOCOM", as that franchise died long ago.

    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!"
    7 is one step above mediocre."
    O NOES!!!!!

    Come on, is this even an issue? Big deal, it's a score. Live with it."
    ...

    I think your maths is bad.

    10/2=5

    7-5=2

    Ergo 7 is 2 steps above mediocre

    Edge named Halo 3 most innovative game of the year for 2007. Love or hate Halo 3, was it really the most innovative game in 2007? No. So I think I'll flush their opinion of Killzone 2, and every other game, right down my clockwise swirling toilet. Thanks.

    It's not my type of game, but if you're complaining that it doesn't control as well as SOCOM then you might as well fall off a cliff.

    Also, why do you care about reviews? You're just using them to validate your opinion. It's just a game, Edge gave their opinion, IGN gave their opinion and somehow Edge's is better?

    Don't say that it's because you played the demo because it's just a demo.

    hah, that is pretty true. I'm not going to agree with any of the higher reviews it got so far or this one(not even including the fact that its edge and they're terrible) I'll judge it when I play it for myself, as should everyone. Does someone agreeing with your opinion make you that turned on that you'll just jump all over it now?

    saw this on gaf a while back, i find it very relevant now. 



    anyways this is a load of shit. i really liked the controls, it feels great to me. had no complaints. just changed it from default to alt 2 and bang fantastic. and the demo was great, despite being so short.

    +9 and counting. That made me laugh, btw.

    @ 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."
    Halo 3 had that, MGS4 got  a 6/10 from Eurogamer ffs!

    So, what,  you think everyone else is being dishonest when they said they loved it? They really weren't that impressed but, tee hee, decided to lie?

    Come on.

    for real, this is the only reply that was necessary. this guy actually is trying to say that every other review (i think there is like 40 now?) was totally dishonest and lied. fucking dumbass.
