Killzone 3 (Online Masterpiece)

Ok, time for the Killzone 3 post(finally -.-). I'm going to make this post mostly about the online multiplayer because.. well.. I haven't really been playing the campaign >.< What I have been playing of the campaign is the splitscreen(only play it when my best bro comes over). So lets get this puppy started.

Online multiplayer: DROOL***. That's all i have to say.

Just kidding. I have tons to day about the online modes. Like most FPS games (if not, all), people go ape when there's a multiplayer. Especially when its a big franchise like CoD, Killzone, or Halo. The Killzone 3 online is currently raping the psn online. Almost all of my friends on PSN stopped playing Black Ops to play KZ3, which I personally think is pretty cool, and says a lot about both Killzone and CoD: Black Ops.

When I ask people which is better between Black Ops and KZ3, the vote is Unanimous. All prefer KZ3. Reason? Well, most say "Dude, those killstreak rewards are complete crap". I myself don't have a real issue with them. Actually, i enjoy them from time to time. But they are insanely overpowered and make the game unenjoyable at times. For instance: if one guy in a match gets attack chopper and dogs, chopper gunner and dogs, gunship and dogs, basically anything with dogs (or just dogs in general), the match is pretty much over. Getting those killstreaks in a match isn't even a problem for most. And the fact you can get any killstreak in a care package (5 killstreak, or 4 with hardline) is just insane. Killzone 3: not overpowered killstreaks at all. Just killing n00bs with pure skill.

The gameplay(as i said in a previous post) is just amazing. The controls are really responsive and the gameplay just flows, without much lag or anything of that sort. The layout of the buttons are really cool, and they feel very familiar if you come from another FPS. So you don;t have to re-learn controls. You can just get in there and play. I haven't really tried playing with the move. I think that playing online will be more comfortable with the actual dualshock controller. I'll give the move controller a whirl when i decide to play the campaign in single player.

Graphics: amazing. These graphics are really at the top of the FPS franchise. It's the best looking FPS I've ever played. It's much better than KZ2's graphics and Black Ops'. MUCH better. The environment and scenery of this game is just great. From the jungle to the war-torn cities, you feel as if you're actually submerged in these environments and never want to leave these beautiful areas. The graphics really make the online maps a pleasure to play.

Like I said earlier, I haven't played much of the campaign, except for the split-screen. What little I've played has been pleasing so far. The characters(some, not all) fit really well into the story and scenery. I think the character of Stahl is the perfect antagonist. His cold sense and way of doing things just fits with his look. His voice actor is by far one of the best I've ever heard. An award is needed for his voice acting.

From most reviews, they say the story is bad. I disagree. Though it's not the best story in the world, I still find it enjoyable and fitting for the kind of game it is. It's an action-packed game and isn't supposed to be one of the story-driven RPG's we all love. I'm not going to spoil anything from the story, so I'm just saying it's decent.

Killzone 3 is really action-packed and really fun to play. I highly recommend it to everyone.

Well, I'm off to eat some breakfast and do some dreaded homework. Wish me luck!

And yet i wait some more

Alas, my precious Killzone is still not part of my collection. I have not had any time to pick it up today. I've been at school till about 4-ish, and had to do tons of work :( So yeah, KIllzone will definitely be a part of my gaming family tomorrow! No questions asked.

As for now, I'm trying to keep busy while the Dragon Age II demo is downloading onto my PS3 (slow internet sucks, I know). But yeah, that should keep me fairly entertained until tomorrow (hopefully). I'm first going to try out the mage class and then the other 2(warrior and rogue). I played mage in my first playthrough of Origins, and I'm curious as to see what BioWare did to my favourite class. From the gameplay that I've seen so far, the changes are pretty positive. But we'll see about that when i actually start playing.

Oh yeah. I wrote my Biology paper today. It wasn't difficult at all. Just a few simple questions about meiosis, mitosis and protein synthesis. All-in-all Pretty easy stuff. I'll keep you guys posted about how much i got. (I got 85% for my English test I wrote the other day^^)

Well, that's it for now. I'm going to post some proper stuff once i get Killzone in my possession and play some DA2. I'm off to try out the demo. Read tomorrow for a full proper blog-post!

NOOOOOO!

As you know I was so excited to get my copy of Killzone today. I was so prepared and everything. I got my gaming shelf all organized to welcome the new family member into my home. Then it struck me. I realized that I'm writing a Biology exam tomorrow and needed to study for it as it's going to determine my future of becoming a doctor.

So alas, i did not have time to pick up my copy today. The fact that i had loads of homework didn't help my cause either. So the chances are I'll either pick it up tomorrow or Friday(that'll be a definite). This frustrates me, and my chances of getting my precious is slim for tomorrow, but it's still there. I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed.

I hope everyone that pick up their copy already is enjoying it loads and kicking some serious ass. I shall join you in the days ahead. But for now: I'm off to study for Biology.

Wish me luck!

PS. The Dragon Age II demo is finally out! Guys, I suggest you all download it and check it out. I've been waiting so long for this game, and i know it's going to be awesome. Another bonus is that BioWare is going to give everyone who downloaded the demo 2 free in-game items if the downloads reach 1-million. So get to downloading! I wants me a free item! Haha.

Happy gaming guys!

Tomorrow's the big day (Woohoo, Killzone 3 is upon us!)

Guys, i just simply can't wait for tomorrow. Not only because of the nearing of the weekend(finally), But because of the release of an awesome game that shall be enjoyed by millions! KILLZONE 3!

I already have my collector's edition pre-ordered. Alas, I can't afford the awesomeness of the Heilgast Edition and buy Dragon Age 2, so I have to compromise. I can't wait to splatter some blood and shoot some n00bs up in online, but with my schedule, I can only play on Saturday morning. I'm going to a ball with my girlfriend on Saturday night and my Friday is booked off, so yeah.

I'll try to find ways to play, but it'll be hard to tell you guys when. I'll let you know when I can asap. I'll post a proper blog up again soon, so stick around and keep checking up on my blog for more posts! Game on!

Pretty Cool Day

As you guys know, i've had today off school and i spent the day gaming and just chilling.

Well, here's a little bit of what i gotta say.

Killzone 3 beta kicked ass as always, i'm loving the classes and the mechanics in general. Sure, the knifing might be a bit frustrating because it takes so long. But i think it's a good change of pace. The fact that your team mate can save you while the enemy is grabbing you by the neck and about to knife you, is pretty cool in my opinion. Yes, it's not the same as the whole CoD "OMG I CAN KNIFE YOUZ FROM A METER AWAY! I HAZ SKILLZ! LOOOOOOOL", but i think it's a good thing it's not the same.

Aside from the knifing, i have a slight problem. I've been playing with the marksman class a bit and noticed how long i went without dying and such a high killstreak. This is just the over-poweredness that is the marksman. The fact that you can get a 1-shot 1-kill sniper-rifle and be invisible (Literally transparent) is just a bit OP in my opinion. But it's still beta, so hopefully Guerrilla will balance out the classes a bit better. But that doesn't stop me from playing marksman :P i love that class :P

All in all it was a pretty cool day. Now to sleep and see what tomorrow has in store for me.

OWNING

Even with the little bit of lag i have, I STILL own those guys on KZ3.

Life's so good right now. I'll write a full blog post on my experiences on the beta sometime soon.

Seriously can't wait for the actual release! Going to kick so much ass
