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.

Finally Weekend!

Ah yes, the 2 days of salvation and relaxation has finally reached us. It's time to take a break from all this homework, school, studying, and time to just post on my blog and rest a little.

The date last night went really well. I'm pleasantly surprised to see how many people are commenting and looking forward to my next blog posts^^ Thanks loads guys. I'm going to make today's post a double feature. This post right here, and one about Killzone 3.

Oh yes. I do check my comments before I moderate people. And i deliver on requests if I see it's ok :P

To start: yes Layman, I have a girlfriend -.-"

I think it's necessary to do some homework because it helps you learn and I really want to get into a good university, so yeah. And this homework that i got actually counts marks, so i better not mess around.

And to another request, I'm sure you're all curious about this "girlfriend" I'm talking about. So I'm going to post a picture that was taken at last week's ball.

My girlfriend and I

Well, I'm going to start on my Killzone 3 post. Keep on LaGing!

Essays anyone?

In my day off for gaming yesterday, i completely forgot about my homework i had for the week. This sucks because now i gotta do accounting homework, maths homework and a damned literary essay for english.

Let me just start by saying this: I F***ING HATE LITERARY ESSAYS!!!!

Now that that's out of the way, I want to say that I'm not all against essays. I'm more of a creative writing person. I like writing fantasy short stories that are both epic, and awesome. I don't like that factual "OMG, i gotta read the whole novel for a few marks" crap. I like just writing what comes to mind and just flowing with it. Essays are meant to be fun and creative, not boring and need to be researched.

Alas, it still needs to be done for Monday, so I can't fight it. Wish me luck in my endeavors of homework and falling asleep in doing said homework. Time to go research The Crucible!
