I agree that the end was funny.
Now for my problem. The way he is talking (and I have watched all of zero punctuation and love them) it seems that he didn't even play Killzone 2 but just went online and read a bunch of what reviewers said about it and then just started commenting on it. If he had played it he wouldn't be saying half the things he is saying or he is a moron but having watched this show for awhile it is apperent he is not a moron. So that leads to the conclusion he didn't play the game. For those that have no clue what I am refering to I will explain
Killzone 2 is as close to World War 2 in a space as I am to looking like Tom Cruise. Not close at all. In the Killzone Universe Helgast is or more appropriatly was ruled over by Tera. When they decided to declare their independence the ISA invaded. This was before Visary came to power. Then Visary came to power and admittedly the Helgast were pretty peed off. Go figure. So they became a militaristic society and invade Vecta. Admittedly there are simularities to World War 2 but this is not World War 2 in space. That lead to the PSP sequal and the Killzone 2. Which actually achieved what the commercials advertised (the jokes I could have made. The Jokes. Sigh) Anyway the story is deap and if you listen to the game (IE PLAY IT) you find alot about The helgast and their world. A rich Mineral petracite that is on their world and that they used to power half the Universe. The game is not supper deap in lore but it is there. Especially this one scene where they are talking about these soldiers who got exicuted for Uniform violations (Clearly not as extreme as NAZIs...They are more extreme. They are not racist like the nazis were for instants. The differences are numorous to the point where if I was to point out all of them this would be extremely long. IE its easier to call those who say that idiots especially when they play call of duty 5 and use that as an argue point against it.) Well contining on and not tring to get to long the game also had a rich story...Not RPG rich but pretty good along of shooters go. Halo epic like in type. As in it is actually there a big part of the game. You will always know why you are there doing what you are doing just like halo. There is purpose and drama as well. Okay to sum this up cause if you can't tell I like Killzone series as I like Halo as well. Yahtzee's comments show a general lack of any knowledge of gameplay or story. His comments seem nothing more that pokes at the game and uneducated ones at that. Now I am all for making fun of games but make sure they are educated as in true not just some crap you pick up on the internet. As it stands the game is great and well receaved. And actually deserves the praise. So Yahtzees comments are below his standerd and what his fans expect of him. Seriously letting us all down by ether looking like an idiot or a sell out. Saddens me but hopefully Yahtzee will realise the error of his ways and come out of his stupidity or dishonor respectively to actuallity. Heres hoping. Heres hoping.
Um, yeah, hi. I played killzone 2. Here's my impression.
Steroid addicts go to war. Swear a lot. A guy dies as expected, and the hero goes angst-y. Hero and dead guy are only somewhat-likable characters in the entire game. Everyone else is replaceable at best; the fragile, brainy woman, the asshole in charge of the squad, the guy in th squad who no one really cares about. God, its like a bad sci-fi movie,
So yeah. It's basically a mindless shooter; which don't get me, I enjoyed immensely, but it does nothing to negate the point a four-year old could have come up with something like it. Maybe I'd have been able to take it more seriously if every single line didn't seem to have some swear word in it. Yeah it's rated M, but dear god, you don't have to abuse it. The story was just a cover for all the blood, gore, and profanity the developers jammed into the poor thing.
I can totally see how he'd just skip over it, unless you're one of those "intellectual" types who likes reading into things too deeply. And enjoys whining and being ignored. And actually cares what a game reviewer thinks about a game, because his opinion doesn't matter, only yours does.
Oh yeah, and Halo is also crap. It handles like a small tank, from my experience. Except for the multiplayer. You know, if you're into that kind of thing.
