Nolan Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Eurogamer's review goes up 5PM tomorrow. Although ever since MGS4's 8/10 and after they gave Fable II 10/10 I've lost faith in them. Why even call it Fable if you aren't going to put any effort into a story? Bizarre. Personally I don't really have faith in any gaming journalist now. Occasionally my views may coincide with theirs, but... generally they seem like a bunch of bung. *disclaimer* I'm talking US reviews, as I don't follow Euro reviews, They may be better for all I know.
dwarf Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Well if you think about it Reviews can't represent everybody's opinion. You have to get a general overview which can help, but even some games that are rated badly are great (Worms 3D!) This is going to be 9/10 and 10/10 from everyone I expect.
flameboy Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 I'm all for reviews not having scores anymore and being more like objective essays discussing a game merits and shortcomings
MATtheHAT Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Reviews are OK if you take them for what they are - opinions. But if the general opinion is that a game is crap, then its usually crap lol.
dwarf Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Dont really care about reviews. In regards to Killzone 2 its scoring high. If thats what you care about. Moved my preorder to Shopto.net Getting the steel edition. That looks badass!
dwarf Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 I may have to buy that special edition, will ask mum to order now. I'm guessing it doesn't hav anything extra feature-wise? Whilst on shopto I saw a Socom advert and it did actually look very good, showed some of the gamplay, I was impressed.
dwarf Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Reviews (lol) were probably slating it for those flaws then. Actually made me stop thinking about buying it.
dwarf Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 I've now preordered it! Yay! Still seems ages away though. And I thought, and said, that Killzone 2 was coming out on 25th Feb in Europe. It said that on a few sites, it would be out 2 days before US but I guess not anymore. Oh well.
Daft Posted January 29, 2009 Author Posted January 29, 2009 It is coming out on the 25th. Just not in the UK.
Retro_Link Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 IGN Video Review: http://uk.ps3.ign.com/dor/objects/748475/killzone-next-gen/videos/killzone2_vidreview_012909.html;jsessionid=42k88c9niqckq Is it me or does the reviewer sound like Kermit the Frog!! [Especially around 1:30mins >]
dwarf Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Yeah they rated this lower than Resistance 2, but it doesn't really matter. It's going to be awesome online, I love the levelling up system they have going.
dwarf Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Yes but Resistance 2 is different. KZ2 is pobably better most ways but it doesn't have co-op, rediculous aliens or 60 players online. I can't wait though, especially with the special edition arriving in roughly 28 days.
LegoMan1031 Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 I have pre-ordered killzone 2 off shopto (steel book edition) today! If you enter shoptovoucher2 on shopto it will also take an extra £1 off... Not much but better than nothing!
The Lillster Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 I tried to get the steel edition off that shop2 site, but it keeps saying card refused for some reason. Are there any other decent sites where I can preorder the LE version?
flameboy Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 hmmm odd GAME don't have the steelbook edition. I will have to stick with my normal one.
The Lillster Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 I thought it doesnt charge you? Its just a preorder. dvd.co.uk have the same one as well as afew other websites. If you go to card details section, it says it charges you £1 to test your card. The £1 is refunded back to you after a couple of days.
WigglyJoe Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 That IGN video review has totally sold me. Shit, this games look bad ass. I doubt I'll be overly disappointed if it doesn't play all that great - I just fancy seeing it on my HDTV. >_> It does look like it plays fantastically from the videos, however.

Daft Posted January 31, 2009 Author Posted January 31, 2009 Killzone 2 (with Play.com Exclusive PlayStation 3 Theme) (PS3)£29.99 Free Delivery You know you want to click here! Sweet deal - Have cancelled my Game preorder and saved a tenner! Cancelled my LoveFilm (since I don't trust their delivery) and ordered this. Cheers Cookyman! What's play's delivery like? Do they ever deliver early? That's a sexy theme as well.
dwarf Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Hmm looks good but I'll keep my limited edition one with shopto.
Daft Posted January 31, 2009 Author Posted January 31, 2009 I ordered the strategy guide as well. I really can't wait. I hope they do add online co-op. Then it'd be like the good times on Halo 3. *Remembers back to the time HoT got roadkilled by a friendly NPC*
dwarf Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Me and my friend anally rape multiplayer online so it will be missed on Killzone, but then again it may make it a more special 1 player experience.
dwarf Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Calm down, we aren't slating it and we know it's going to be awesome! Just saying it is nice to be able to play awesome games with a friend, but it's not a deal breaker. I know you're a lover of the game but there isn't a need to back up any and every minor gripe. Sos just needed to be said.
Daft Posted February 1, 2009 Author Posted February 1, 2009 I think if they add it later it might even be a better solution since I'll have another reason to go through campaign. It would have been nice but I'm not going to miss what isn't there.
