Eggo, Jumplion can we please stop this pointless debate. Or better yet if you want to continue it start a new thread!
Can we please go back to talking about Killzone 2?
On topic: Just got back from IGN and they liked it but the funny bit was all of the user "reviews"... *snicker* just look at them the flame war is hilarious.

Isn't it funny how you can tell how bad the controls are just from that GIF? *sigh*
Wait a minute there. Just *how* were you able to determine that? That GIF just showed someone looking around.
Moving primarily on a single axis and then a shaky combinatorial movement which is the classic characteristic and shortcoming of analog joystick FPS aiming.
That's the same as saying that all console FPS's have terrible aiming. And I was assuming that you meant the general controls, that's why I asked that question. Heck, a game has great controls as long as it's smoothly playable.

Anyway, I don't want to jump into this heated argument between you and Jumplion. Happy gaming everyone!

That's terrifying.

I wonder what the game looks like over at Metacritic...

It looks great, but the gunplay looks to much like Call of Duty, then again - thats a compliment.
This and everyone else that says that it seems like CoD, I agree. I've only played Modern Warfare, but the description they gave seemed extremely like it. The online play, the change in mission types, the AI (minus the beating them in the head thing) all seem quite similar to CoD4, but in a different setting with nicer graphics. Now it DOES look extremely well done and top notch graphics (and I really liked the fact that it seemed it has little in-level loading times with the exception of some minor bumps) but it just seems too cookie-cutter to me. If I hadn't worn myself by playing a LOT of FPS's lately and not really wanting to, I might consider it, but eh, right now I'll pass. Maybe later when it goes platinum, or whatever their games do.

EDIT: Also, the metascore page is bizarre. The major reviewers give it very high rankings and the user reviews average just under 7. what's that all about? Though I don't usually pay that close attention to scores, that was pretty weird to me.

Oh man I didn't think of it... Woo Hee! This is turning out to be a hilarious night.
(Best thing to do is listen to Dethklok or the like while looking at flame wars XD)

Fanboy wars at its finest. There's an article for this phenomenon over at Destructoid. I'll dig up the link when I get the time.

EDIT:

Here's the link: http://www.destructoid.com/metacritic-the-most-pathetic-battleground-of-the-console-wars-110149.phtml=.

Note that this article is more about how Metacritic is the new battleground of the console fanboy war, and not about what's happening to Killzone 2 right now.

The Killzone series is really just a ripoff of Jin-Roh/Kerberos Corps. That said, I had high hopes for the original game, and hope the second one will prove to be as amazing as it looks. I remain skeptical, but at least the source material they're ripping off is good.

One of my favorite movies of all time.

Well it will be an awesome game, but it is just like any other awesome FPS out there. I could have just as much fun playing Call of Duty 4 again or Half Life 2. Personally it still doesn't give me enough reason to get a PS3 for myself(beat MGS 4 at a friends house already), but I mean as always if you enjoy playing the game, why should you let other peoples opinions bother you? Opinions mean nothing in the world and its about how you like your game not the fanboy nor the regular gamer.

Well, it looks good, but looks aren't everything. Personally I think that's what the whole craze is about, I mean at the end of the day it's still just another FPS. The intro trailer I saw a while back was rather inspiring (somewhat) though, even though I dislike FPS (just a bit) I think I might pick it up.

PC>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Console for one reason and one reason only when it comes to FPS Bullshit like this is easily rectifiable [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/9.85920] in just about every PC shooter I have ever played. I don't have to deal with some crackhead's idea of what makes a good layout. I hope to god that what I talk about in the link turns out to be an error.

User average on Metacritic has probably been dragged down by the Xbots, but I'd take the critic score with a pinch of salt too.
