I think I’m one of the few people who didn’t like Horizon: 100 Yawns.

I loved Killzone 2 last-gen(I consider it one of the GOAT FPS games, actually) and I liked KZ3 even if it was a step back from 2 in a lot of ways. I hated Killzone: Shadow Fall and Horizon though. I’m 50/50 on liking Guerrila Games releases, haha.

Killzone 1 I played back in the day on PS2 and again last-gen with the collection, but I never got very far before shelving it. I do remember all of the “HALO KILLER” ads back in the day though, those were great. KZ2 though…goddamn man what a game. Overall I liked Sony’s 1st and 2nd party releases on PS3 way more than the games they released on PS4.

I like in this example that the vector is going to be a smash player. Accurate AF.

NEWS: E3 2020 CANCELLED DUE TO GROWING CONCERNS OVER COVID-19 VIRUS

After careful consultation with our member companies regarding the health and safety of everyone in our industry – our fans, our employees, our exhibitors, and our longtime E3 partners – we have made the difficult decision to cancel E3 2020, scheduled for June 9-11 in Los Angeles.

Following increased and overwhelming concerns about the COVID-19 virus, we felt this was the best way to proceed during such an unprecedented global situation. We are very disappointed that we are unable to hold this event for our fans and supporters. But we know it’s the right decision based on the information we have today.

Our team will be reaching out directly to exhibitors and attendees with information about providing full refunds.

We are also exploring options with our members to coordinate an online experience to showcase industry announcements and news in June 2020. Updates will be shared on E3Expo.com.

We thank everyone who shared their views on reimagining E3 this year. We look forward to bringing you E3 2021 as a reimagined event that brings fans, media, and the industry together in a showcase that celebrates the global video game industry.

E3 without sony wasn’t going to be E3 so I’m alright it got canned.

I tried KZ1, 3 and the PS4 one and thought they where very very boring. Like HZD a lot tho. Different strokes I guess. Halo killer my ass tho lol.

Haha the Halo killer marketing was great. That sucks you didn’t like KZ3, I thought it had a solid campaign.

KZ2 though…the campaign AND multiplayer is amazing. Usually it’s one or the other with FPS games, but KZ2 had both. It feels like you’re going through a war in the campaign, and you move from level to level in a way that’s similar to Half-Life 1 & 2 and DOOM 3 in that it all feels connected. KZ3 teleported you from level to level though, which wasn’t as good.

KZ2 is by far Guerrilla Games best title imo. Graphically it still holds up and looks better than a lot of current-gen titles out there, which is hilarious. Sadly Sony axed the online servers a while back so you can’t experience the greatness that is 32 player Warzone, but you can experience the hype campaign. It’s literally > 5 dollars everywhere, you’ve tried the lesser KZ titles so you should give the GOAT a chance. :pray:

Good Guy Phil.

He gave Bear and Bird back to Nintendo.

I’d send him a holiday card.

I’d probably be all over pc gaming by now if it offer physical games, the free online play is a big reason. I’m going to start to get all my fighters in pc now since I never use my psn subscription for anything. I’m just wasting money there. I might have to get the games until they are low in price thou I can’t get myself to pay 60 for a downloaded title just yet.

I might give KZ2 a try someday but I really don’t have high hopes for me enjoying it. I like HZD from them best. It’s not perfect but I did really enjoy it the 3 or so times I played through it. Playing through the patched in Super Hard Mode was a really fun way to get some real life out of the NG+ option.

Game is legendary. I remember he said in the video that it’d be one of the best FPS games of all time if it had a PC release and this triggered someone in the comments. :rofl:

Oh yeah, Killzone: Mercenary for the Vita is my 2nd favorite Guerrilla Games release. I consider it to be as good as it is because it copied the shiiieet out of Killzone 2, right down to some of the assets. Awesome campaign AND multiplayer, even if it was capped at like 8 players or so. It felt like a downscaled KZ2 experience, and it even had some of the same maps as KZ2. Good times.

And just using that an example is just basic low hanging fruit but a few days ago I saw a dude come out of the bathroom stall after clearly finishing taking a shit and didn’t wash his hands. Those are the mother fuckers in general I’m talking about. We got this virus going on and he still didn’t give a fuck.

Not many people do, everyone waits for sales or Humble Bundle deals. That or, you can be like drizzt and just pirate every indie and major release. :rofl:

The sales happen often and prices go down quickly because…it’s digital. I say most of my purchases are around the 10-30 bucks range or so, because like you I don’t want to pay much more than that without getting something physical in return.

I have the occasional exception though. I Day Juan’d DOOM 2016 @ full price and I will do the same with DOOM Eternal because it’s fucking DOOM brah.

That last tweet tho. You can feel the regret of him ever buying an Xbox. :rofl:

The whole “physical vs. digital” debate doesn’t really hold up anymore.
With all the patches and DLC going around, physical releases aren’t physical anymore.

Take SFV for example. If you buy a physical disk of it and for some reason can’t download the DLC and patches, you’re stuck with a buggy, barely playable garbage with absolutely no content.

I heard about “physical” editions of Steam games with only a download card inside the box if you want those for collecting purposes.

The physical disc of the PC version of MGSV only had the steam installer on it.

Ok, but why tho?
