I normally play my games on medium to hard and usually finish them.

It also makes me realise that there are many different people of different abilities who will naturally have different opinions of the same game. I've usually try to finish games on the hardest difficulty, as I have with Gears 1 and 2, and I just find it difficult to imagine anyone struggling at the easiest setting. As for Gears 2 though... Believe me, stick to Hardcore. If you try it on Insane, all of the bugs in the game suddenly become way too apparent. reask on "Killzone 2 and the five-foot stare" http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=49&page=2#post-979 Tue, 17 Feb 2009 15:07:00 +0000 reask 979@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ I fully respect other peoples opinions on the Gears game as all thoughts on games are opinions as each person likes different games. A bit like music I suppose. Having said that I think both Gears and halo 3 managed to live up to the hype. I cannot speak for PS3 games as I don't own one and would be just lying if I mentioned any game. Gears 1 for me was one of the most if not the most enjoyable games I have ever played. I played it on easy and man even that was hard in many parts. Not only that but there was so much variety in the gameplay. I have not finished 2 yet (360 gone for repair) but again for me it has lived up to the hype. You really need to play it on hardcore to appreciate the work that went into it. btw both games I am talking about SP only as online does my head in I just keep getting wapped no matter what game I try online.

If other folks think it was just meh fair enough. </blockquote> Unfortunately I need to disagree with you again. ;) "Gears of War" was NOT the game that set it apart from the older consoles! It was clearly "GRAW" which launched 6 months earlier. THIS was the very first game which really screamed "next gen"! Sure, technically GOW was better but by that time the novelty has already worn off. The most offending part about "Gears of War" was the fact that it was way, way over-hyped, just like "Halo 2&3" were and now" Killzone 2" is. reask on "Killzone 2 and the five-foot stare" http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=49#post-923 Mon, 16 Feb 2009 21:34:59 +0000 reask 923@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ I was just using one aspect of the game. I know for me personally when I played it the game just said the 360 had arrived. It just set it apart from the older consoles IMHO. If other folks think it was just meh fair enough. I don't please too easily and Gears did please my gaming experience.

Lots of games since have used the cover system in it. epic_wanderer on "Killzone 2 and the five-foot stare" http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=49#post-885 Mon, 16 Feb 2009 00:12:50 +0000 epic_wanderer 885@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ Just to roll the conversation back a little bit, I thought Gears of War 2 was a significant improvement on the original, which I hated for its: awkwardly paced checkpoints, instant death sections, shitty vehicle segments and the shredded narrative that made no sense. The sequel fixed all those areas. I still don't consider it to be a *great* game but it was a much improved experience and the final chapter was one of the better examples of subverting expectations and giving the player memorable 'badass' things to do. I'm looking at you bioshock-big daddy sequence. reask on "Killzone 2 and the five-foot stare" http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=49#post-884 Sun, 15 Feb 2009 21:54:55 +0000 reask 884@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ Good to see us old fogies are still young at heart. Love gaming but most of all love good games. As for Nintendo I suppose they are filling a gap it just doesn't do anything for me. The little one has Wii and never plays it in fact I sometimes have to fight her for my 360.

Enjoyed the banter btw and really have no issue with either console both are great imo. Now the other one is a different story but don't want to go there. I mean for all folks say about Sony and MS at least both bust there buns to outdo each other which benefits me and you. reask on "Killzone 2 and the five-foot stare" http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=49#post-878 Sun, 15 Feb 2009 16:12:59 +0000 reask 878@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ No offence taken I have been called worse. :) I do agree with you about the cover system. I suppose we all like different games so opinions will vary. Not many older than me I am afraid lol.

So that's another category IMO. I mainly don't like COVER-shooters because you can't use both analog-sticks for aiming at the same time. A tactics I love, and strongly depend on in ego-shooters.

I'll take back the "fanboy" comment. Sorry! But you're still younger than I am, kiddy! ;) And you're probably right about my feelings towards KZ2. I didn't like the demo. Just another stupid cover-shooter with no good story at all. I did like the first Killzone though on PS2 a lot (despite the fact that it had terrible reviews). And I do like the KZ2 environments, so I'll maybe try the game at a budget price (below € 30). reask on "Killzone 2 and the five-foot stare" http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=49#post-875 Sun, 15 Feb 2009 15:35:26 +0000 reask 875@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ Trust me quiiick I am no fanboy of any system. My age is irrelevant but if you must know 46. I said I thought you were biased in your views and still stand by that. Why you may ask? Well if you have to take a swipe at one of the best games ever made IMHO then yes you are biased imo. You did say it was utter shit after all. It would also mean imo that you would feel the same way about RFOM COD4 and of course KZ2. After all they are all the same type of game.

How old are you? I think the 360 has some very good games, I just didn't like GOW (never played GOW2). And because of that, you believe I don't own a 360. What a childish assumption. Every 360 owner MUST love "Gears of War"! LOL! BTW: Check my gamertag on both consoles! Ohhh, forgot, you don't have a PS3 ... reask on "Killzone 2 and the five-foot stare" http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=49#post-872 Sun, 15 Feb 2009 15:07:51 +0000 reask 872@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ @ quiiiick Well seen as you think PS3 games are superior I would not be inclined to trust your judgement which is obviously biased. In fact I would hazard a guess that you do not own a 360 or have played GOW2. The sooner folks get over the fact that PS3 has failed to deliver on its promises the better IMHO for the gaming community.

What a funny assumption ... As far as I'm concerned, a lot of of the PS3 games are indeed superior, but that has absolutely no relation to the price or the technology of the hardware. BTW: I paid €400 for my 360 in april '06 and I paid €400 for my PS3 in april '08.

If I'm going to pay £299 for a game, it's simply got to be at least as good as COD4, but according to metacritic KZ2 simply isn't, and that's by the concensus of dozens of reviewers. More importantly, it doesn't appear to offer me anything that I haven't done before in many much older, tired games. Anyway lets face it, I play COD4 all the time, even after having it for well over a year. So why should I waste £299 for a game that isn't even as good as a 14 month old one?

Like 500,000? I wouldn't really know and I wouldn't argue with "system sellers" since that doesn't interest me. The game is going to be a blast, and that is all I care about.

The problem is that I've already got loads of good FPS's and a fair few amazing ones, too. I've got so many FPS's that I've even got ones that I've barely even played. I've been meaning to play Battlefield BC for ages now, but I'm too busy playing COD4 with my clan. I've even got all 1000 gamerpoints from World at War, but it's just boring to me now, because it's nothing new. If KZ2 doesn't offer me anything different from the load of games that I already have, and still intend to play, then getting a whole console just to play it wouldn't make sense. reask on "Killzone 2 and the five-foot stare" http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=49#post-731 Wed, 11 Feb 2009 15:57:50 +0000 reask 731@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ Well the edge gave it a 7/10.
