Title: Hype
Post by: gamedweller on November 17, 2004, 01:07:47 PM
Do you think all these hyped games are worth it?  I\'ve been Halo2 has been getting all this hype and great reviews and gamers i\'ve talked to have been indifferent about it, like its no big thing.  I like GTA. But right now I\'m addicted to Killzone.  Which recieved average reviews and I don\'t understand why?  Are you guys playing it?  Do you like it?  If want to see more about it check out http://www.killzone.playstation.com

Killzone looks like fun but it\'s hard for me to sink my teeth into an unknown franchise that has scored around average to above average on the popular gaming sites, especially with all these great games coming out.

The reception here from the people who\'ve played it isn\'t all that great.  If it\'s really that good there\'s a complete lack of threads about it in the main forum.

KILLZONE SUCKS!

I played online and it so damn annoying. People just walk around with a damn shotgun and kill you with one hit. And the Hit detection suck. It takes almost a whole round to kill a guy when you\'re in his face blazing at his head!

Im going to trade it in for NFS

Can someone please move this into Console Discussion? This is not an off topic topic.

I learned my lesson on hype with Jak 2, then again with Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles.  I had hyped the games up to be what I thought they could be and in doing so I ended up making it very hard to enjoy the games for what they are.

I hardly keep up with previews now, I might look at a few screens and read an interview here and there but I always remind myself not to get caught up in it.  I go in with little to no expectations and more often than not come away pleasantly surprised, if the game turns out to be shit then it\'s hard to get disappointed.

Killzone...it\'s a game with too many problems, imo.  The frame rate is distracting and in some cases hinders gameplay.  The friendly A.I. is really dumb and made it hard for me to believe I was in a team effort, the enemies are no better.  The poor hit detection made it very difficult for me to want to keep playing once the game got more difficult.  The art direction is top notch, however it\'s countered with LOD problems and the polygonal seams showing up way too often.

lately, there asnt been much post at all about the newest games :(

before, there use to be a post for almost each game that would come out on PS2.. great or suck games. this 2 last month, new ape escape, new spyro, new crash all made it to store without a post.

They are probably all crappy, i know. but these titles will sell thousand of copies come christmas.. just because they have a name.

It\'s a plague of all creative mediums be it books, music, films etc.....

Once people work themselves into an unrealistic frenzy about something their disappointment is inevitable.

Unfortunately, so is their near endless bitching.

He\'s quite the ass when someone deserves it, the idiots on TXB far out number the intelligent members.
