lol yeah right. Yahtzee knows how xenophobic the escapist gets towards North America. This is just a rare failed attempted at preaching to the choir.Starker said:
Zero Punctuation: Killzone 3
- Thread starter Yahtzee Croshaw
- Start date
Didn't play Killzone 3 yet, only Killzone 2. And probably won't buy it because I'm tired of playing war FPS's. But I seem to be the only one pleased with Killzone's controls 
COD protagonists run and jump fast like hell for who is carrying soldier gear and they aim their guns as lightly as if they're made from plastic. They're almost like Halo's spartans except for the high-jumping feature. What the hell, are they supposed to be super-soldiers?
That's why I like KZ2's more realistic controls. The protagonist moves slower, more like a real guy burdened by the weight of his gear. The camera shakes when he sprints, throws a grenade, does a melee attack, or gets hit. I realize this must kill the fun for some, but in my opinion it helps the game's gritty atmosphere a great deal.
I heard Killzone 3's controls were more light tough, to please a greater deal of audience.

Not really much point arguing if you're going to dismiss all my points as 'technicalities' and fail to understand what I'm actually trying to argue. Have fun with that.Therumancer said:
I dread the possibility that Yahtzee might one day do Goldeneye because:
a). it's on Wii, which is like having four strikes against it before he even puts in the disc,
2). cover-based shooter, but a lot of your cover gets shot away
d). it's difficult to see and shoot enemies at range, but they seem able to hit any square inch of you not in cover from a half-mile off, even on the disney difficulty setting.
Which is a shame because I enjoy the game a lot.

"Killzone decided to be bolder then that and changed it to R1, which I think would be better suited to a game where you stand behind someone and Tweak their nipples", sorry I just noticed no one quoted that
But honestly, Thumbstick for aiming? Or your head always magically floating on the top of cover? Its bad enough to have to be forced to listen to a borish storyline, but with these amatuer mistakes coming from a rich gaming company, just goes to show you can't rely on big name video companies to produce quality work. I suppose we have to rely more on indie games, which I've never been a fan of, at least they still put some heart into and can come up with something unique rather then the same shite.

My God your post hurt my eyes (and brain) a bit.RazzleDazzle102 said:
Quick things:
-I prefer R1 for shooters because the floppy triggers on the PS3 are terrible.
-Great looking game, but the story in KZ3 is really really terrible. FPS games usually don't have the most riveting stories, but still...
-Multiplayer is pretty much the only reason to pick this game up. It's fun to run around and heal people/build turrets/summon mortar strikes/disguise yourself as the enemy.
If you bought the game expecting the greatest campaign ever, you will be sorely disappointed.
EDIT
I've been noticing this too. Nowadays it just seems like he is not reading the manual/skipping the tutorial just to find something to complain about. I don't really blame him, comedy is hard. However if you have to stretch for it like this, maybe you should just take the week off to relax and get back on your game.Longshot said:
Oh come one, the general cliques is that Americans are ignorant and arrogant, but here Yahtzee says that Americans made Killzone 3, but we can give credit to the Dutch on this one. Insert a joke about Yahtzee projecting onto the US. And while Britain was critical to success in WW2, come on, really, the USA didn't come crawling to the UK to beg for help on either front. I do however remember Churchill saying that the only time he actually thought he was going to lose the war was when both of us were losing the battle of the Atlantic, which was when the USA was sending supplies across the ocean. Such ignorance and arrogance is unbecoming of a non clique American.
Also, great review as always.

its ridiculus what the consoles are doing with motion controls, on PC there is razor who cares to develop the best tech of it all, so now we hav the final proof that you have to be impotent not to make your major series for PC(but cant the razor make it for the consoles too? O_O).
Gotta say thats your best work in some time man. Loved it, still giggling and the singular reason I never got into kill zone, the controls, so I totally related.
Nice one.
Nice one.
It's just funny that America is the 'hero' in most games or movies (because their the core gaming/ movie going market of the world). But America lost the whole moral high ground when they became the only 1st world nation that has been boming thrid world countries in the last 10 years.Goody said:
I note that you have to make the cutoff point merely the last decade in order to neatly eliminate Russia (bombing Georgia), most of NATO (bombing most of the Balkans), Turkey (bombing the Kurds --- but then, most Euros don't count Turkey as a nation, let alone first-world, since it was the Ottoman Empire), et cetera and so forth. Oh, and of course let's not forget that a bunch of you hoity-toity-type nations with your noses currently in the air have been doing bombing runs right alongside ours (albeit with a lot fewer planes and thus a lot less effectively).BreakdownBoy said:
And now we have Britain and France wanting to enforce a no-fly zone over Libya, which kind of evidently would require bombing airfields that got a bit too uppity, and oh look the Obama Administration which was elected largely to repair America's image as international bullies doesn't want to go bombing that third-world nation and you blokes seem a bit miffed that we won't do it WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE US DOING IT FOR YOU.
Note why I said Bruce Willis, I dont think anyone heres in dispute of how awesome McClane is... not to mention his man scream when he slides down stuff is the definition of manlyness.FoOd77 said:
As for the game, Private Bleaks trek through Grey town its never really appealed to me, im a man all about the asthetics and its impressive how "meh" Killzone looks.
Not as much as Europe owes America, who will pay off its debt by selling Europe to China.samaugsch said:

Yahtzee sold out, plain and simple.
He now does the same thing over and over again (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/jump/6.270997.10428617) and gets paid for it. Easy money, huh Yahtzee? It's not like the animation takes a lot of skill, either. Come up with some bad puns to go with every game and you're done. Review done. Yeah, Yahtzee, you've lost your edge. I'll still watch your videos but more out of some sense of lingering loyalty to a once brilliant critic than of honest interest in what you have to say about a game.
