Killzone 2

I had to switch the button layout to "Alternate 2" because the default setting felt awkward in my hands.

It took me maybe fifteen minutes to get used to the aiming and moving, and now I kill shit without a problem. The cover system seems kinda weird to me, though. It feels like every time I go to use cover aiming and shooting are different.
 
Holy crap, In the final part of the 3rd level, I mowed down a load of Helghast, enough for me to get 2 trophies at once, Kill 5 Helghast in 15 seconds whilst on foot and maintaining at least 85% health and kill 30 Helghast using either the StA3 or M10 Twin fixed gun emplacement.

I also have used Alternate Button Layout 2 because it makes things much simpler with the combo of covering and firing out. It feels more natural.

Load of Helghast??? Wait until the final mission... WTF.

EDIT: Also wanted to add after reading the previous page... Dont get me wrong, this game is great for me. I am a visual whore. But this is a generic shooter... As nothing else about the game realy stands out beyond the other big FPS'.

You're right. Thing is though, at least it IS a big FPS. Sony's needed one for years, even since the PS2's lifetime.

Tymon i am in love with this game seriously. I just needed to get honest for a second because it is a very generic shooter.

This destroys Resistance 2 for me... I will need more time with the game to see if i like it more then ResistanceFOM, which is my current fav PS3 game.

I have beaten the campaign 2x now;;;; I am almost ready for a try on Elite.
 
I haven't finished this yet. The Flame thrower is cool although I only used it for a short while, the shot gun surfaced shortly after and i went with that.

Not too much i can think of to say that hasn't already been mentioned. At this point the replay value for this game is looking ok.

nobody is fixing anything. The aiming is suppose to feel like that so that it'll be more realistic by making it seem like you move your body unlike Halo, CoD4, and other fps where it feels like you're just moving a camera.

Not sure what kind of guns you shot before, but there is nothin' realistic about the way you aim in KZ2, absolutely nothing. When I shoot a gun I don't fuckin' -sway- I move -directly-. Let's also not come in here talkin' about "realistic" when the game also FORCES you to use aim acceleration, pretty sure that doesn't happen irl either.

They lowered the camera and added a bounce to your step while moving and shooting. Trying to capture some realistic feeling...

All they needed to do was copy Fear 2... They added the same "realistic" bounce only it doesnt feel like i am in mud.

I dont understand tho this "realistic" bounce should have nothing to do with why my target reticle moves like its also in mud... Even at a stand still...

EDIT: Fire just to add to your darkness comment.. When you first boot up and are prompted to adjust brightness until you can see a helghast logo... I tried every thing and just could not make the thing appear.. The game looks fine to me tho.

I don't think it's the bounce that messes up the reticle movement. Lots of games have that bounce but a good reticle movement. To be honest, and if you've ever played it you'll know what I mean, the reticle moves like the one in Perfect Dark Zero, where side-to-side movement is good but if you try to go up at all you're fucked. In this game they mess up side-to-side with accelerated aim, which is mandatory (they should all be hung for this), and up and down is as sluggish, if not worse due to acceleration, than PDZ. I think the forced acceleration is to try and make us not notice the tiny, tiny delay between time you press your stick and the time your reticle actually decides to move. Honestly, I feel like I'm playin' Quake III Arena all over again, or one of the FPS games on N64, where you moved your guy with the stick and aimed with the 4 buttons on the right. So this isn't really a step forward GG made, it's a step backwards. Then again, Goldeneye and Quake III Arena actually handled better than KZ2 so maybe it's nothin' more than baddness. Anyway, still a fun game it's just a fun game that's a piece of shit. To be expected though, I guess. I can't remember a Euro made entertainment item that hasn't let me down in the last few years.

WOW MAN WTF!!!!! There is no split screen vs offline???
 
yeah gotta pop in the cod4, hear there's some free expansion coming w coop tho. it's strange how many big games are ignoring offline multi tho. IMO far more inportant, warhawk and halo 3 the only games to give splitscreen needed attention . R2 is good for 2 people.

He was just saying what teenagers on internet forums say to me and the whole time he was doing nothing but rising to the bait. I get you have to vent and feel you have to take revenge, but go to the gym to get rid of that I guess. I guess he just had to defend himself from being payed off by other companies.
 
Lawl, go to the gym. I'd tell you to go do somethin' to yourself if it wasn't against the rules.
 
Is there an issue with PSN today? I cant finish a match online in killzone and i keep disconnecting.
 
Picked it up today from work, in the middle of the second level in campaign, just got a trophy for killing the giant in less than a minute.

So far, I fucking love this game. The game is absolutely beautiful. Yeah, the controls aren't what I'm used to compared to other shooters and the aiming deadzone sway thing is definitely there. After I bumped the X/Y axis sensitivity up two notches, and a little bit of gameplay, I can time it right so I can play it just like CoD or Fear without any trouble. A patch would be nice but if you can get used to it and time it right so to speak, it's not a problem.

Osi, I wanna finish up the campaign before I touch multiplayer - must kill more helghan though.
 
Not sure having issues today directly from my ISP.

Almost done with the campaign ... WELL over my expectations. I might give it the edge over H3. H3 has coop, but this has its own edges. If they gave this game splitscreen for offline and online it'd be my favorite FPS, but w/o it's just my favorite single player. Plenty of times I thought I was getting a cliffhanger end cause I wasn't expecting these fx coupled with huge playtime. But it keeps going and going.

Just finished the Campaign, was quite fun while it lasted, though I must go back to get all the intel and smash those symbols.... and kill a 2 bosses in under 1 minutes and under 20 minutes respectively.

Now to try out the MP modes.
 
And I decided to fuck it, i'm gonna give multiplayer a shot.

3 words to describe it: holy shit is it awesome.
