Killzone 3

Hey Dromer's,

figured it wouldn't hurt to open a new thread, concerning the pro's and con's of Killzone 3.

I have been looking for a new shooter, that can possibly stay enjoyable for a very long time, seeing as rent is about to get expensive at the end of summer. The usual pick for a fps, that is going to be played for multiple years, is a Call of Duty or Halo game, but I've played both of those a bit, had my fun, and put them down in a couple months.

I played Killzone 2, for a short amount of time, but it seems like by the time I got to it, the online community was basically dead. When it come's to First-Person shooters, Atmosphere and balance come first/second. Can you guys recommend this game to me?

(Some of my favorite first person games are Bioshock, Chronicles of Riddick, and Fallout: New Vegas, to give you an idea)

HELL YES play the hell out of this game!! I love it I cant ever go back to CoD really cause of it. You have 5 different classes to choose from. Medic, Infintrator, ect.

if you do decide to play it add me tmntpizzapower and let me know your from the drome

I'd never recommend Killzone to anyone. None of those games in the series have ever been enjoyable to me. And if you're looking for longevity? Killzone isn't ****ing it.

sorry brodie i love the story and i think it does have longevity. but we all have what we like and dont like.

Killzone is an overhyped mess. Much like Resistance, it's one of those shooter franchises that lives or dies by its exclusivity. You need look no further than the first absolutely terrible game in the series to see that it being a Playstation exclusive is the only thing that kept it alive.

Control wise it feels a little too loose and some of that probably has to do with the PS3's controller being inferior for shooters, both in stick placement/stiffness and with the squishy triggers. Graphically it looks great, but graphics can never outright save a game for me. Also, the characters are straight out awful. All of them are unlikable assholes and the AI of your team mates does absolutely nothing to endear them to you.

It has some neat multiplayer stuff, but again, I'm not a multiplayer shooter person, so it has zero appeal to me.

Honestly would rather play another CoD campaign than play any more Killzone and I f*cking loathe the critical path, scripted, trip wire, monster closet nature of the CoD franchise.

If you wanna play Killzone go for part 2. 3 has some nice additions and looks pretty but from a trophy perspective 2 is loads more of a challenge.

[PizzaPower]

yea killzone 2 story wise is WAY WAY harder then 3, but i do love the multiplayer online part of 3 better then 2 for me.

3's all good just that KZ2 was the first shooter I really got into. I added you on Psn for some kz3 sometime?

[PizzaPower]

[saiyan_monkey]
