Yeah. The game got a 5/5, and the PS3 fanboys were still ranting about "360 bias" and the "negative tone" of the review.Singing Gremlin said:

I sort of agree, but by EDGE's already defined standards, polish isn't enough. They weigh innovation with polish, and if one is missing it won't get a 10. This game didn't get a 10 because it was all polish no innovation, Mirror's Edge didn't get a 10 because it was all innovation no polish.Indigo_Dingo said:
Edge are notoriously cranky. I remember they gave Bioshock 8 whilst everyone else was arguing about how shiny the 10 they'd dished out to it was.
I found killzone 1 to be a snooze fest that highlighted the weakness inherent in console analog stick controls in an fps.
As such, I have not understood the excitement behind kz2. I hope to high heaven, however, the ps3 folks get something deep to enjoy here. But reviews of 7 - 8 are what I consider par for the course, these days.

Sorry for niggling here, but you are watching ZP, so aren't you listening to a review? or are you just watching, which is not one of the options you listed. /Frank_Sinatra_ said:
Sooo... uhrm... if a game hasnt got any innovation but has hissing gas leaks, you would give it a 10/10?Indigo_Dingo said:
That sorta explains it...
Like i said, reminds me of the Halo fanboys.
If you want to start a discussion about it maybe start the next post with "I maybe a Resistance fanboy but...".
That makes the whole thing easier.
I may be a Halo fanboy but i found halo fun to play, but i would never give it scores greater than 8/10, because it lacked innovation.
See, really easy.
What? Fanboyism? Because I like the game I'm a fucking fanboy--?Aardvark said:
Wait, screw this, I'm out. Not checking here again. Your smug, condescending, but mostly pathetic attitude has drained any will I had concerning having a pleasant discussion about this. See ya.
Well, I would rate most of the games i play with 7/10. They are very great games. So what makes Resistance better/worse than, lets say, Halo.Avida said:
The ONLY game I would ever give a 10/10 would be NOLF1 + 2
Those game have everything we look for in todays shooters, except better graphics of course
It sure does not look like one, but it's not all about how the game looks and how cool it is. It sure does look cool, and awesome etc. but it doesn't bring anything new to the FPS's. Everything in there has been done before, the game just does it again, but in a different scenery whit different graphics. In order for something to get a 9 or 10, it needs to bring something innovative. Killzone 2 does not do that, it's just a fps, that's it.Avida said:

Wow. Where to start.
Let me try this:
Original Poster, would you have created this thread if Edge hadn't attached an out-of-10 score to their review and had just used words instead? I'm willing to bet NOT, but that's because I really chalk threads like these up to the need of nerds to costantly stroke the epeens of their consoles, games and of themselves.
"Gears of War 2 got 9.gadzillion out of 10, and Killzone 2 got 7 out of 10 on Edge! Meeeeeh!! My game is better than yours!!!"
I have a suggestion to people like these: once your balls drop, you should buy a copy of each game and judge for yourself.
However, rather than taking those bold steps to develop your own taste, I think you'll more likely continue perpetuating this torrent of Internet diarrhea and we'll keep on asking ourselves whether the fact that Edge gave KZ2 7/10 will influence my buying decision.
That's it, I'm done.

I dunno, it's sorta like IGN's problem but in reverse. Instead of giving everything a 9 they give everything a 7. The writers tend to ***** about things like not innovating, which doesn't interest me because after 20 years of gaming nothing really strikes me as innovative. Not complaining about it, still love games, just a personal thing.MrGFunk said:
Destructoid varies from writer to writer but overall, any magazine that gives Twilight Princess a 4/10 clearly doesn't give a f*** what people think. So at least they're honest.
I'll just go and divide by zero so we can all find out.I3uster said:

I don't know - it seems to me that ZP doesn't so much review games as he does make nitpick them for great entertainment value.thiosk said:Sorry for niggling here, but you are watching ZP, so aren't you listening to a review? or are you just watching, which is not one of the options you listed. /Frank_Sinatra_ said:
