GameTrailers Video Review

Haven't watched it myself, just got back form playing in the snow, lol.

Though as to the earlier review, didn't like nazi influences, people take from what they know and can learn, and it just so happens that nazi's trying to take over the world is something that was well documented, but it doesn't really matter, there is always one, I await those odd sites you never here of giving it 6/10's trying to get hits.

Some more reviews

GameSpy: Killzone 2 Review - 4.5/5

GameSpy had a lot of fun with the game, and they encourage those of you that are interested in Killzone 2 to check back with them later this month to get their report on the status of the game's live multiplayer servers.

Eurogamer is an "odd" site now? lol

Probably one of the most respected sites this side of the pond :p

Well its Eurogamer Germany, and I think their review sucked. :p

But meh, some really bad reviews coming out, well not really, but what's with the constant mentioning of no co-op? yes its not there, but other games don't have it as well and suddenly its a deciding factor?

And considering how great the game looks there's surprisingly nit picky bunch out there too.

I don't care about bad reviews, but only if they can give us a good argument as to why they gave it a low score, not not using lame excuses that are barely mentioned in any other reviews.

I kind of agree on the no co-op points though, as it has become a standard feature in FPS games for some time now (not to mention its branching out), to leave it out of a title which would suit it so well does deserve talking about. It won't stop the game being great, but it could have been better is their point I think.

As for the other negatives like aiming/story/AI, it's all gonna come down to personal preference of the reviewers mostly and if they think its good enough. As long as neither of them are broken and the story is somewhat enjoyable then gamers won't care for the best part.

I said it before, it's because of the way this game is squad based and you're only without your squad one or two times it would lend it's hand really well to Co-Op.

Unlike something like FEAR, where you're alone. Or RE where you're supposed to be alone :rolleyes:

However docking points for it would be harsh, as due to the technicalities of the game, it's clear trying to keep a solid framerate and do Co-Op just wasn't working. I'd rather have it missing, than a bumpy framerate journey, something which would get a lot more negative bashing.

Online Co-Op would've been the only real feasible option, something we may see in the future? But I still doubt it.

KZ3 will most likely have it as standard, as Guerilla keep the KZ2 engine, refine it and get more out of the PS3.

I wish they updated the store on a Tuesday, its snowing outside and I'm going nowhere, perfect time for a demo. :D

The only problem I have is the seemingly docking points because of it, I have no problem with it being mentioned, I totally agree, you spend the game with your squad, at least most of it, I would have loved for co-op, definitely.

Hell I'd love to go through with Kol the invincible, but using it as some excuse is lame. :p

Oh AB will you ever give RE a break rofl.gif It's "supposed" to have new controls, but its "supposed" to be an old style of gameplay!

There's no pleasing you tongue.gif

Lets not mention RE5 after that controls fiasco, lol.

The games getting awesome scores, it doesn't really matter if a few dock points. It's clear it's a AAA title, so the only people who'll be splitting hairs are those who are like "HOLY **** MY GAME HAS METACRITIC 95, YOURS HAS 94. MY GAME IS 100000x better".

Hahaha the best Co-Op experience you'll get with KoL is setting up a MP game, putting a password on it, then you and KoL play against 16 bots on hard :p

You know...

Halo 3 got 9.5 from IGN, KZ2 got 9.2 :shiftyninja:

:laugh:

z0mg ftw!!1!

Pfft, n00b. :p

The normal IGN review gave Halo 9.5 and K2 9.4, thats all that matters. :p

Though I don't get how IGN get their overall scores, Halo 3 got 10,10,10 9,9 from the us which ended up with 9.5, but the UK got 10, 9.5, 9, 8, 8 but still got 9.5.

And I know it says not average, but still, peculiar scores in the end.

Ah well.

Lets be honest reviews mean jack, I love my Xbox but honestly Halo sucks so badly I have no idea why so many people actually enjoy playing it!

lol, I really enjoyed the first one, but didn't get the fuss over the 2nd and 3rd.

Btw, KZ2 drops feb 27th right? I read on a Dutch site the 25th, but I couldn't find a store that said that...

Quote fail! :p

But yea, Europe get it 25th, Uk/Us 27th.

/off topic

Well this morning so far I have had six hash browns with marmite, a pack of rolos, two kit kat chunkys and a bag of fish and chip crisps! and I'm contemplating a subway sandwich for lunch; foot-long steak and cheese I think :p

Are those the Walkers Fish and Chip crisps?

What did you think of them? they smelt like Fish and Chips, but tasted odd ,lol.

And why the Playfire Trophy sig but no trophies?

I thought that they were horrible, the onion bhaji ones are pretty nice; I've only tried thou two flavours so far.

You have to manually input all trophies in for the PS3 which sucks ballss, why they can't have a system like xbox live where it puts them online on a server I know not its really rather irritating!

I have only tried those two as well, and I would agree that the onion bhaji ones are better than the fish and chips, I want to try that squirrel one though, lol.

And yea, its because no one can access the API, not even Sony have done it yet, its silly really, I have no doubt it will happen eventually though.

The only reason I ahve mine and keep it somewhat updated is so Soniqstyls and Kol keep striving for betterness. :p

    • What people who support this position of LibreOffice do not understand is that EuroOffice is not made to appease the open source enthusiasts (I am also one) and evangelists. EuroOffice was made because some European companies wanted independence from Microsoft Office Suite, which is something installable on your computer. This move to independence was pushed by public institutions and governments in Europe, as well. Using a proprietary FORMAT as default, does not make you dependent on MS. The actual program does. A format can be changed with a simple update in the future in a dystopian world where MS would manipulate the format to lock others out. However, using MS Office proprietary format, guarantees that all the current documents used by companies, organizations, institutions, etc, will be compatible with EuroOffice and the suite will have the best chances at adoption, especially by slow moving organizations like governments and the public sector. It is as simple as that. For the same reason, even the UI is incredibly similar to MS Office. For the same reason (adoption) the choice was made to be open source. Not because EU particularly loves open source ideologically, but because it gives the best starting point to create trust in the project and amass developers and contributions to the project quickly, to catch up with proprietary projects like MS Office. I don't understand how people don't realize it.
    • How old is this tip? Seems 15-20 years old? Processor states for the CPU under Windows power options has been a thing for a long, long time. It certainly isn't new or hidden... Also, with laptops it doesn't make any difference what OS you are running, all of them are configured for battery longevity over performance, for obvious reasons. Wanted to add as well that most systems in use currently do burst as setup in the uefi bios settings, and usually when a setting is "hidden" like this in Windows it's because it's either obsolete or it is redundant--doesn't override the bios and the CPU drivers. There is a lot of crap in the registry that needs to come out...;) It's hamless and might consume 1-2kb of space in total, though.
    • I can't believe Starmer is still there...his party lost so big. He's a stubborn coot, but this is largely unenforceable, so I would imagine he'll be resigning soon. A key here is for parents to buy their kids phones sans Internet access--and set up the Internet at home, where mom and day can, you know, act like parents instead expecting the government to raise their kids.
    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences" by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The gaming giant Electronic Arts is exploring more ways to inject real-life brands into its games. Announced today as EA Advertising, the new platform is attempting to make it easier for brands to reach out for deals with the company and put their products inside titles like EA Sports FC, Madden, NHL, Skate, or The Sims. EA revealed that its EA Sports side of the company brings in "hundreds of millions of players across console, PC, and mobile" every year. Fan engagement of these titles was also touted as being "extraordinary," with 23,000 NFL seasons worth of games being played in Madden NFL daily, while EA Sports FC sees over a billion matches a day. “Players come to EA’s games and live experiences every day to play, watch, create and connect,” said David Tinson, Chief Experiences Officer at Electronic Arts. “That gives brands a meaningful opportunity to show up in ways that add value and respect the player experience, while maintaining authenticity in the worlds our teams are building. With EA Advertising, we’re helping brands become part of those moments in ways that are relevant and built for players.” Using the new program EA Advertising, brands will be able to inject their products into games in real-time via dynamic placement. EA says partners will have access to everything from stadium signage in sports games and targeted adverts to in-game content custom-made for the brands. These are described as additions designed to "enhance, not disrupt" experiences. "In these interactive gameplay environments, brands become part of the game itself, reflecting how players engage with advertising in real-world contexts," adds the company "Brands can activate across live environments, tailoring placements to meet campaign objectives, and update campaigns with ongoing optimization informed by aggregated engagement insights." Current real-world brand partnerships EA has built into its games include Visa (EA Sports FC and College Football), Lowe's (EA Sports FC, Madden NFL, and College Football), Red Bull (EA SPORTS FC), Xfinity and Peacock (EA SPORTS FC), and Mountain Dew’s (College Football).
