[Official] Killzone 2


Recommended Posts

Well I went to Best Buy on lunch, and once again, so close, but so far.

I talked the kid into checking in the back, and sure enough he said the computer said they had 10 copies at least. I was right there, and the computer said nothing about street dates or anything like that.

Well instead of just going to the back himself real quick like the kid did when I got Little Big Planet, he decided to call someone on the walkie talkie and asked them to get it.

They told him they could not get it, as it was not released until Friday.

So that is it, I officially give up trying to get it early, and will just wait until Friday (for real this time).

Sorry man. So close yet so far...again :laugh:

so during my lunch break i:

- went to best buy. not selling until friday.

- went to 7-11. only had a few really old games.

- went to target. they started selling the game on sunday and were sold out already. the guy told me to check back tomorrow morning.

so it looks like target is my best bet of getting it early. there's at least 3 targets that i pass by on my way home from work, so i'll stop by later today.

I haven't got the game yet but here are my mates thoughts on it, he has been playing it all day:

positives: immaculate level design, good enemy AI, good graphics, good music score, real vibe of being in a warzone. negatives: controls are a bit off (theres input lag), gets repetitive, enemy designs are bland, guns are a bit pish and there arent that many. Multiplayer isn't what I hoped in the sense that you cannot play any one particular gametype, you can choose to play Search & Destroy for example, but anytime between joining the room and 5 mins later it changes to a different mode, and I hate that! Also found it hard to differentiate between enemies and friendlies. Biggest difference is there eyes glowing red/blue, and because the characters are chunky (moreso than Gears), and your gun takes up a lot of the screen, its easy to run past an enemy without realising, gonna be one of those games that take time and effort to get used to I reckon.
I like the theme that came with the Play pre-order. I want everyone to add me on PSN, I really want to play with people who I know and speak too.

You can hit me up so to speak at vortex566!

The theme is pretty neat, I'm using it now. It's better than most of the free ones available on the PSN store anyway.

Add me, my ID is ynnnoj.

I haven't put the code into the Store yet to get the theme, but it looks pretty groovy, lol.

Either of you can add me if you want. :D

Unless I have you and have forgotten :p

I've added you.

I've also managed to set up a Bluetooth headset I found lying around in preparation for the fun :D

only 14? have you seen the grenade spamming on CoD:Waw on Veteran, lol.

And you could, I dunno, Play on Normal? :p

Nah, at least hard will give me a better experience and make the game last longer :p On one particular bit i kept getting sniped by rocket launchers and pretty much died withing 5 seconds of respawning :laugh:

    • There is a default resolution setting in Settings > Display that can be changed with a click. You can also change the settings on a per-game basis. No CLI needed. Also, Steam has countless games that are not "[perpetual] alpha/beta games", so no need for the straw man. Plus you can use other stores as well. And console games (e.g. PS5) cost a fortune, which itself more than negates the price subsidy on the system, unless you plan on exclusively playing 1 or 2 games. It's true that you shouldn't buy a system that doesn't support the game(s) you want to play, but I think that's kinda obvious, and applies to every console as well as PC. I don't game in the living room and have no need of a Steam Machine, but there is a clear market segment that would find it useful.

RSS Guard 5.2.0 changelog: Added: Feed auto-fetch can now also be delayed while Feral GameMode is active on Linux and startup auto-fetch is skipped when GameMode is already active. (#2265) WebEngine builds can now use RSS Guard generated proxy auto-config (PAC) rules so article/web browsing follows per-account and per-feed proxy settings more closely. (#2273) Generated PAC rules now also cover related subdomains and use Public Suffix List data, so feeds such as feeds.bbc.co.uk can also proxy resources from images.bbc.co.uk. (#2273) Standard feeds can now define extra proxy domains, useful when article images, stylesheets or other page resources are loaded from a CDN or another domain that should use the same feed proxy. (#2273) RSS Guard now asks for proxy credentials when a WebEngine page needs proxy authentication and can fill credentials from the current feed proxy when available. (#2273) Network settings again include an option to ignore all cookies, which clears stored cookies and prevents new cookies from being accepted. Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now individually ignore cookies while downloading feed data. Stored cookies can now be deleted from the Tools menu. Custom skin colors can now override the feed list article count color separately from feed titles, including a separate highlighted color. (#2275) Settings dialog can now search across available settings and highlight matching controls. (#1754) Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now optionally be reported as broken when they are valid but contain no articles. (#2039) Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now override the application-wide feed connection timeout per feed. (#1023) Tray icon can now use a custom background color and unread-count text color, with an option to reuse the generated icon as the application icon. (#1973) Support for more benevolent parsing of Gemlog entries (#2295). Article list can now show when an article was received by RSS Guard. (#947) Feed deep discovery now actually scrapes all links found in the website and checks if they are feeds or not. This greatly enhances usability of the deep discovery mode and discovers many more feeds than before. (#2306) Search boxes now show a small dot when the feed or article list is hiding some items because of active filtering. (#873) Articles now have a shortcut-assignable action to open the homepage of the feed they belong to. (#2060) Fixed: Parallel feed updates no longer crash when multiple update results are processed at the same time. (64cf521) Links in WebEngine articles opened from feeds such as Kill the Newsletter now open correctly instead of being swallowed by the embedded page. (#2272) Relative article URLs resolution was kinda broken. (#2282) Clicking article URL did not work when the URL had "fragment" set. (#2293) The default proxy setting now uses Qt/system default proxy behavior instead of forcing no proxy. (e0263ad) WebEngine article loading now keeps the current feed context, so feed-specific proxy credentials remain available while the article page loads.
