replayability

i bought this game back when it first came out. thats also when i got ps2 for the 1st time. truth is some time after beating it i just traded it back to the store. i dont normally do that with games but i just didnt find this game to have any replayability. ill admit maybe i should have kept this game for a little longer and maybe i would have changed my mind. with the campaign mode i found it too long and drawn out. from what i remember all levels were just point a to point b without anything to do in the middle but shoot the bad guy. now ill say that was actually kind of fun but i dont think enough to want to play the game again. at times i think i barely wanted to keep playing the first time through but im not a person that easily gives up on a game. well i played through the game and beat it. however i was hoping the whole time that there would be some side missions to do in the game. now maybe youll say that in a real war there really isnt any side missions and all it is is going from point a to point b while killing the enemy. but id say that in a game your supposed to sacrafice some realism for entertainment value.

now i had atleast hoped that the multiplayer would make the game redeemable but i didnt think so. there just wasnt enough different options to make the multiplayer fun enough. now i must admit i never had online multiplayer because i never had broadband so maybe the multiplayer would have been better playing against other people.

but my question allthough a stupid one probably since i see some people like this game but did anybody find this game to have replayability? and for those that did did you agree with anything negative i said bout the game?

Mainly due to the fact that I can't finish it. I just can't find the motivation to keep playing on to the end. And that hasn't happened with very many games that i've played.

Lol I have around 120 hours in campaign mode and around 130 in multiplayer(no online, because I don't have a connection).So I guess game can be pretty fun and replayable. If you suck at it doesn't mean that game sucks.

[–] Spounge 16 years ago

If you suck at it doesn't mean that game sucks.

Actually, it was because the game was boring.

[–] smokeg 16 years ago

Well that's your opinion, but everyone I know has played the game and they all enjoyed it. Even some guys that normally don't play FPS's. For me, it is one of the best games ever and the game I have played most hours(and I have played lots of games). The only types of person which don't like Killzone, as far as I know, are all those 12 years old Halo/CoD fanboys who think that a game isn't fun if you can't jump around all the time and scream while shooting inaccurate barrages of automatic fire. I'm not saying you are necessarily one, but I can probably guess..

I'm pretty sure I don't need anyone to tell me it is my opinion because it's obvious that it is.

but everyone I know has played the game and they all enjoyed it.

And I can say that everyone I know that has played the game thinks it is a forgettable one. See how that works?

Even some guys that normally don't play FPS's.

If they don't normally play First Person Shooters. Wouldn't it be obvious that they may take a liking to killzone simply because they haven't played the likes of Counter Strike, Timesplitters, Red Faction, Half-Life, Doom, Call of Duty, among others? You're not helping yourself here.

Wow, you need to meet more people.

I'm not saying you are necessarily one, but I can probably guess.

Guess what? That i'm a 12 year old that likes nothing more than Call of Duty and Halo? You'd be wrong.

Obviously I'm dealing with a n00b here. Your points are so bad that they make me laugh:

And I can say that everyone I know that has played the game thinks it is a forgettable one. See how that works?

Then everyone you know are n00bs.

No, it's because they think Killzone is awesome and other FPS's suck(opinion that I share with them)

Wow, you need to meet more people

You aren't getting my point, are you?

Guess what? That i'm a 12 year old that likes nothing more than Call of Duty and Halo? You'd be wrong

I can pretty much guess what kind of gamer you are. Even you are not 12 years old, you are probably n00b/fanboy who thinks who pwns at games, and likes to play all those "cool" games like Halo, Sims etc. I pretty much pwn you.

[–] Spounge 16 years ago

Obviously I'm dealing with a n00b here.

Nope, you want to know why? I don't lower myself and use terms such as "noob". Mainly because I like to think of myself as a 22 year old adult. Which is a good thing because I happen to be one.

Then everyone you know are n00bs.

Well, I guess you missed my point. I take it you don't like to read much?

No, it's because they think Killzone is awesome and other FPS's suck

Killzone can not possibly be better than any of the FPS that i've mentioned. And anyone who isn't blind, deaf, dumb, and has a lot of experience playing First Person Shooters would know that. The game has way too many problems that most other First Person Shooters don't have.

You aren't getting my point, are you?

You said:

What else was I suppose to get from that?

you are probably n00b/fanboy who thinks who pwns at games,

You can't even get your sentence straight.

and likes to play all those "cool" games like Halo, Sims etc.

Varied selection i'd say. That's not even counting my SNES, Genesis, N64, and Dreamcast games. I can list those if you want. And hey look, no sims.

I pretty much pwn you.

You have pretty much "pwn" nothing kiddo.

[–] smokeg 16 years ago

Lol naming bunch of random games you have played doesn't make any valid argument.I have played more games than this(but that also doesn't make an argument). Anyway I have said my opinion( Killzone is awesome game, Cod and Halo aren't), and I bet I can beat you at any one of those games. But I won't argue anymore, it's useless.

You have pretty much "pwn" nothing kiddo.

If you are 22 years old, as you say, then I'm just a year younger than you, therefore I'm not a "kiddo", especially not to you(anyway, who uses the word kiddo?)

[–] Spounge 16 years ago

Since we are pointing out what is a valid argument and what is not. Almost everything you have said is not a valid argument. You do know that, right?

(anyway, who uses the word kiddo?)

You stated the obvious so many times and decided to stop here?

[–] SnowJay336 16 years ago

i like watching you two argue.. its really funny... still not sure who im rooting for yet though.. but keep up the great comments!!

[–] Spounge 16 years ago

Meh, this particular argument is so old it's collecting e-dust.
