Killzone 3 review - OPM goes with 9/10

buffig on 21 Jan '11 said:

Well I hope it's far superior to the VASTLY over rated COD games or i'll be disappointed.

I hope it's vastly superior to the last game or I won't be bothering with this one.

I think I'll give this a miss. I liked the first game but found the story a little flat and poorly told. I felt no emotion for any character, well except hate for Rico!
So to hear it still doesn't pack an emotional punch is a bit of a letdown for me and at best makes it onto my 'maybe' list.

a jesus same game play as cod bo,dont they know cod doesn't work on the ps3.well at least ill get the socom beta whit it.

stickyfiddle on 21 Jan '11 said:

If "Black Ops is the only FPS on PS3 that can match this", are we to assume that's it's actually crap and barely playable? Or is that just populist bulls**t to keep 14 yr olds and Activision happy?

OPM Says 9/10 - well what else are they gonna say, there the "official" mag ?

TheCrimsonFenix on 21 Jan '11 said:

Black Ops isn't exactly tough competition substance wise. If Rico doesn't die, I'll be disappointed.

I was thinking how long it would take for someone to make a pointless COD reference, clearly not that long

Anyway on topic I am really looking forward to this one, will fill the gap nicely before Gears 3 emerging.

So, you're "that" guy?

Works both ways Official 360 mag not gonna mark down 360 exclusives is it?

Imaduck on 21 Jan '11 said:

Blarg. They need to just shoot the team of current heroes, let them die and get some real good solid heroes. The series has an interesting clash, there's so much room for a really torn and interesting hero. They keep shooting themselves in the foot instead of shooting Sev and Rico in the face.
Comparing it to Bowel Obstruction is flat out insulting to any game

Never can tell with reviewers really. Let it come out, give it a month or 3, then see what fans think. I say a month or 3 because every game is "teh bst gaem evar madez" on day 1. Best way to know how something stacks up in my experience

KK-Headcharge78 on 21 Jan '11 said:

My point was just because Black Ops was mentioned doesn't mean the trolls should grab their dicks and turn another thread into an anti-COD recital.

In other news Killzone 3 is shaping up quite nicely it seems.

Imaduck on 21 Jan '11 said:

Well, you're keeping it rolling
There's a difference between being a troll and disliking something. Learn it plox

If someone confirms Rico dies I would pretty much would shell out £40 bones for that

He was a utter tool in KZ2.......

A drab campaign was made soooo much worse by that dick shouting at me

Unfortunately he doesn't from what I'm aware of.

Thanks a bunch, I've been waiting for this mag since it didn’t arrive on the promise of 19/01/11 and you offered the publications 9/10 score on the main news section of your website. This has, in turn, somewhat ruined any anticipation of picking the mag up. You also say the mag is out now, I have been looking for it and can’t get it (maybe delivery to Belfast is 24 hours behind).

Can you avoid displaying the score in future to mags like this so I can choose to skip over it and make the £5.99 purchase worthy? This includes any game on any format.

Complaints over, on a brighter note, cant wait for your review, don’t preview the score before I access it though or Ill type more words and pretend to myself you are all ashamed.

Keep up the good work though.

PS there’s probably another method of feedback for the team but while I care to some degree, I don’t really care that much lol

Nothing makes the £5.99 purchase worthy of any magazine considering you can read all the information on the Internet and download the demos they give you for free. If you don't have the Internet then you should use the £5.99 to pay towards it.

Back on topic. Good score but I'll wait until the gametrailers review as I like to see it in action before I decide if it's a 9/10 game.

I have the internet at uni, but their firewall means I can't use the PSN (feelin sorry for people there with Xbox live accounts, imagine paying for it then not being able to access it). So the £5.99 means I get a decent magazine and demos that I would otherwise not be able to play.

Oh dear, again with the voice acting, i mean in Mario galaxy they got the voice acting perfect , the original Pacman had incredible voice acting with Patrick Stewart providing the "wacawacawacawaca" , since the dawn of Gaming a good game has always been made or broken on the voice acting..........oh , hang on, no it hasn't, that's b*****ks, i wonder what the real score is then , will have to wait for Edge and Games to review it

glennerzzz on 22 Jan '11 said:

yep, same sort of scores KZ2 got, and I thought it was s**te. I'll reserve judgement until I play the beta at least...

You be quiet or I'll come round to your house and fit your gate backwards, then when you try to get in you'll be all confused.

I agree but I enjoy reading OPM, been a buyer since it was released (probably best if I subscribe lol) and this was their big review, kind of spoiled it for me since Im gona buy it anyway.

Has no-one at OPM ever played Bad Company 2? It defaecates on CoD from an enormous height.
