Gamespot's Killzone 2 Review Made Me Quit Gaming.

Unreal Tounry, Counter Strike, Team Fortress, Day of Defeat, Timesplitters, the Battlefield Series, Rainbow Six, GRAW, The Call of Duty series...

I could keep going with all of the great series and games that have a forgetable story yet are still a blast to play. If you want a real story, go play an RPG. Don't be looking to any FPS to have a great story. Some do, but mostly a story is just a placeholder to explain why we are shooting things.

As much as I agree, quitting gaming is a bit extreme.

I have always been a single player nut... it's why I like Nintendo so much: Mario, Zelda, Metroid - three of the greatest single player experiences around today. I've never really cared about multiplayer because i'm not a very social person, but you have to remember that many people are and that is why Killzone 2 exists. It obviously has one of the best multiplayer experiences to date, and THAT is why it got a 9.0.

If you want better single player experiences, don't buy a PS3: Killzone and Resistance are incredibly generic, LBP is based around its online community, Ratchet, Uncharted, Heavenly Sword, etc. are all average game (from what I have played). If MGS4 is worth a few hundred dollars for your single player needs, I say go for it! But until the PS3 gets God of War 3... i'll be sitting on the sidelines.

[QUOTE="quicksilverXP24"]Do you write this response for every shooter that comes out?Graedien

Nope only one's whose reviews I actually read, and which have received 9s or above, and have "Forgettable Story and Characters" in the Negatives.

They could also use particle weapons which discharge a cloud of shrappnel like a shotgun but do so with much smaller particles (sometimes the size of single ions) at a much higher spead by using electromagnets. Designs were made for these back in the early 1900s with the ammo being liquid mercuary and tungsten and they're currently developing them and Lockeed Martin is making a huge facility to develop them so they should be fully developed in the time Halo is setmarkop2003

sorry to break it for you but what exactly is more of a must in a fps than a shotgun?

then it wouldnt be a shoty in the game....

i can't believe that you find it shocking that an FPS doesn't have a good story... A vaste majority of shooters have bad stories. Halo 3? Crysis? Gears? Yet those games are rated really well because they play well and people have FUN playing them.

If you want a fantastic story, go play an RPG or an action game.

And I'm sorry but the movie reference is not valid. Valkyrie is a drama. Action films don't need a story, but you go watch it for the wow factor.

Quake 1/2 have a story? ahhh who need's one aslong as there's the gameplay/level design.

Halo's story didnt make any sense to me, but if you want a fps with a cool story is unreal 2 the awakening dont let gamespot's bs review be ur opinion.

That game still kicks ass even today, still have graphics on par with source engine.

You complain about Killzone's story, yet your avatar is from Super Mario Bros. 3, which had a weak story(though better than the average Mario title because it at least did something slightly different over Peach's state), and you've played Mario Kart, which had NO STORY WHATSOEVER and even Mario Party has a story to some of their games, Halo, which while having a story that was better than most games was still nothing to write about, and Smash Bros., which again had almost no story, and the Subspace Emerissary story read like a Naruto fanfic on DeivantART.

Who cares? :|

You're quitting gaming over someone else's OPINION do you see how silly that sounds?

I'm also tired of seeing all of these generic shooter games get such good reviews. It seems all of them are just knock-offs of knock-offs before them, now. There's almost no originality in these games anymore.awmannn

hohohohohhohoho

Story is not needed in games. If anything the overrall story of a game can excuse bad gameplay if its down right.JangoWuzHere

???ok ill put my 2 cents on this then

Killzone 2 is great but nothing special IMO

Welcome to the new world. No memorable characters? No problem. No good story? No problem. Great online multiplayer? Yes! Great guns? Yes! Woohoo 9.0! Bigboi500
