nine-gear crow and I are prepping for a new LP and I was looking to gather some data before we started it. As part of that LP, I wanted to ask the LP forum for their thoughts on a particular game franchise. (Your answers are relevant to the LP in question). I'd like to use these answers as "evidence", so to speak, so please be brutally honest. If you adore these games, don't hold back. Let it all out. If you hate this series, please also let it be known. I don't need it to be super long or descriptive, just your honest gut reaction to them. The game series in question:  So, Let's Play Forum, what are your thoughts on the Killzone trilogy?* *opinions of Killzone: Shadow Fall and Killzone: Mercenary need not apply, but will also accept opinions on Killzone: Liberation

I really like the Killzone series as a whole. They have a really cool art design, despite the lack of colours in the first two, and the weapons are really great looking (such as the Helghast AR with the massive barrel of ammo and secondary shotgun on it). They're very technically impressive games, and they play pretty well, though the first is really rough. Also the Helghast are really cool, even if they are totally ripped off from Jin-Roh

Suspicious Dish posted:Isn't this an interest check? It's not an interest check in that they're not seeing if anyone is interested in the LP, bt rather what peoples thoughts are on the Killzone Series. My thoughts: They're a mediocre first person shooter with some interesting bits, but overall pretty bland. The story wasn't too inspired or interesting, either. There are definitely better FPS, but worse ones too.

Played Killzone 2 and 3, loved both of them. The gameplay was great for an FPS and the controls + the way you moved felt a lot more "real" compared to something like Call of Duty. Your character can't spin 180 degrees in a second and shoot people in the face, which in turn makes moving around and being more tactical with your approach much more rewarding. The class system is cool and, from what I remember, doesn't overlap much if at all which makes every character useful in fights. I don't recall the story too much, but I personally really like the enemy character design (The Helghast). There's something about them that really appeals to my taste, maybe its those glowing red eyes they have. Despite all it's criticism, I would still purchase the Killzone game on PS4 because I like the franchise. Radec and Visari both have some good lines and Visari (Brian Cox) delivers a really good performance with his speeches. I don't remember being too fond of Rico on the other hand, something made me want to punch his face.

Killzone is a series that Guerrilla Games spent far too much time writing back story to justify their Space WW2 scenario as being a realistic one and too little time applying it in any meaningful way. If you spend a little time looking into Killzone's "canon", you'll find a plethora of history, dates, names, and such regarding humanity's expansion into the stars, the Helghan Corporation and their colonization and subsequent monopoly over Vekta, the straining relations and tensions between Helghan and Earth, and the ensuing conflict (that happens before any of the games) where Earth forcibly deports an entire planet to a death ball where they become radical Post-WW1 Space Germany with Gas Mask Nazis. There's a ton of interesting stuff going on, but you never see it in any of the games. The games are visual showcases with bog standard gameplay that ultimately serve as interactive hardware sizzle reels for whatever they're put out on. It angers me that Killzone has an interesting story, but every game is just "The Space Nazis are bad, go kill them" (except Mercenary which was "Space Nazis AND Space Americans are bad, go kill them for money"). Killzone 2 is probably the best one of the bunch, with Mercenary as runner up solely because it lets you kill ISA scum and it arguably has the best online play in the series.

Killzone is a series that desperately wants to be Modern Warfare, but fails because it's a forgettable FPS series. The third is notable for having enemies that like to spam grenades. And as previously noted, the games are basically hardware porn. If you're thinking of buying these games, yourself a favor and pickup Resistance instead. Preferably the third one.

The multiplayer was surprisingly entertaining, but the main game was bogged down with things like infinite spawning enemies until you move up 10 more feet.

I think the series would have been better if you played as the Helghans and if the first game was about taking back their homeland, but the way their culture/politics are written that would need a complete rewrite.

Oh yeah, ever since the first one I wanted them to do a C&C type thing where you can do a little campaign for both sides. Then of course, Mercenary kinda sorta did that!

Blind Sally posted:So, Let's Play Forum, what are your thoughts on the Killzone trilogy? I don't remember much about the first two but I remember having a blast in the multiplayer for the third one. Specifically I remember the attack/defend maps being super fun and I remember the Helghast commander guy being so supportive and positive that I was always disappointed when I wasn't on the space-nazi team. Seriously the other team's narrator was such a cock. Nothing was ever good enough for him and he would complain even if your team won. Compared to the Helghast narrator where even if you lost the guy was all just "Vee vill try again for ze glory of Helghan!" So I guess if nothing else they should get credit for taking a throwaway announcer character and using that as the foundation for the World's First Endearing Space-Nazi.

Been sitting on this one a week procrastinating the heck out of it, ready for any thoughts anyone would like to share on it!quote:Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine: The Codex Astartes Pop-Up Book I'll have a proper Polsy up if/when it goes live, and a similar sort of set-up of character/enemy/weapon profiles and whatnot like we did with Dawn of War 2 on a subsequent page.

I haven't really done anything differently to how I did the parts I edited for the Fall of Cybertron LP, but I'll talk to Coolguy about any little editing I can do to fix that echo. It might just be volume, it kind of felt like he was a little loud but my ears are kind of dumb and I'm happy to hear thoughts on that if it's the cause.my dad posted:Your timing is impeccable. I couldn't not post after a lead-in like that. dscruffy1 posted:Any plans on delving into why Ultramarines are alternately loved and hated? It's a realm of fanhate I've always found kinda fascinating. I fully expect the thread will be full of everyone's opinions on why they like/dislike them (mostly dislike), but it's one of the topics I hope to just yammer over in video form too because it was something I saw come up a lot before and after the game's release.

Blind Sally posted:So, Let's Play Forum, what are your thoughts on the Killzone trilogy?* Like I said before/after the video we did a while back: I've never played any of the games, but my thoughts on them made it seem like a series built to emulate Halo to an extent, and were more an Also-Ran rather than a blockbuster franchise. The fact that it got three sequels makes it seem like people must have played it, but you guys were the 2nd and 3rd person I've ever heard say they've played the games after kalon Zombie. That said, the Killzone 2 E3 reveal for the PS3 needs to be in the OP because holy poo poo most games today don't look that good and Sony tried to pass it off as PS3 footage.

I love all the Killzone games outside of the first one and I don't understand why the series catches so much flak as a whole.  I'm happy the two of you are doing an LP of these games because that means I can scratch it off my ever-growing list! Lazyfire posted:That said, the Killzone 2 E3 reveal for the PS3 needs to be in the OP because holy poo poo most games today don't look that good and Sony tried to pass it off as PS3 footage. Sony and Guerilla lying about graphical fidelity is as much a staple of the Killzone franchise as guns are!

Most likely it's just my mic levels, I noticed after comparing Fall of Cybertron and Call of Duty that my mic enjoys adjusting its 'sweet spot' at random intervals. We can do some further testing with that. Appreciate the feedback on that, y'all.

On Sunday the 27th Chip, me, Voidburger, Geop, and Kamoc will be holding a panel on LP at the Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo, details here. I'd be really excited to see whoever can make it, but we know that's not practical for most people. Kamoc will be filming the whole thing and doing interviews. If you can't make it but want to participate you can submit a question. We'll be drawing questions from a hat during the Q&A, time permitting. Ask them here or on twitter or wherever else we'll see them. We've already got these so far.
