[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:

    • I have a older F4-210 NAS, it is pretty basic, the CPU is not the fastest by a long way and only 1GB of ram, but it works fine. I don't understand the need for A.I in a NAS. It seems like A.i is being shoved into everything, if we like it or not. i will stick to my old Terramsater NAS, thankfully the OS is not being updated. Also, got myself a small NAs built using a Raspberry Pi 5. iy usesd less energy, so stays on all the time. As for the unit above, if it is as reliable as my old Terramaster Nas, then it will be a good unit.
    • Gemini in Google Sheets can now help you debug and fix formula errors by David Uzondu Google has started rolling out an update to Gemini in Google Sheets that allows the AI to diagnose and fix formula errors in one click, as long as your Workspace admin has Gemini for Workspace in Sheets turned on. According to Google, the new feature can handle pretty much everything from basic arithmetic to very complex calculations. This ability to debug formula errors comes about two years after Google introduced basic formula generation with Gemini in Sheets. To create a formula with Gemini in Sheets, you open a spreadsheet on your computer and click Ask Gemini in the top right corner. You can also enter an equals sign in any cell and use a shortcut like Ctrl + Alt + G on Windows and Chrome OS, or Command + Ctrl + G on macOS. Once you open the side panel, you write a natural language prompt using your sheet references. For example, you can ask Gemini to divide goals by games, or to find cell C1 in range D:G. If for some reason, the formula Gemini generated doesn't work, or maybe you wrote the formula yourself, you can troubleshoot the issue directly inside the grid. When a cell shows an error message, you hover over it and click "Fix". This action opens the side panel where Gemini analyzes the data structure and automatically applies the fixes when they are ready. You can cancel the process at any time by clicking stop in the side panel. Image via Google Google has been pushing its Gemini integration in Google Sheets for a while now, steadily moving AI features from side panels directly into user spreadsheets. Last year, the Mountain View giant shipped an =AI() Function in Sheets that allowed users to run translation and text generation directly inside cells instead of using the side panel interface. Earlier this year, the company announced that Gemini in Sheets had reached near-human expert performance, achieving a 70.48% success rate on the SpreadsheetBench dataset.
    • I get what you are saying, If i go onto the Instagram site, it says log in with Facebook, but they are not allowed to link my account with Instagram until I do that. Maybe in the U.S, they can link them, but Privacy is not a thing in the U.S. the way things are going,l won;t be any better in the U.K.

    • Exactly, this is just the beginning. I hope that by that time, our inept politicians devise something like a Universal Basic Income, because unemployment and poverty rates will skyrocket otherwise. And believe me, robots that perform physical work aren't a matter of IF, but WHEN. No career is truly safe from AI/robots, it's just a matter of time.
