KZ3 was my introduction to online multiplayer shooters. I was so hooked that when the PSN outage happened I actually picked up a 360 and sampled the online offerings on that side (Halo Reach and Gears mainly). But this game will always be special to me for that reason.

This game shows me how bonkers people are: they defend Killzone 2 despite its myriad of problems and shit on Killzone 3 which is the same but with the issues fixed. People are weird, man. PS: The game features a shotgun pistol, which is absolutely great, and can be held alongside an assault rifle.

My problem with Killzone 3 as mentioned by the reviewer is a lack of polish in certain areas. Just look at the releases dates of their games. Killzone 3 clearly had less development time. Like for example the level layout. There were countless times when I was shot completely out of nowhere and couldn't hide due to lack of cover. Or the incoherent mess of a story. Killzone 2 isn't exactly a masterclass of writing, but I personally felt way more engaged with the main characters than in Killzone 3. In my opinion, while Killzone 3 was improved in many areas, in some aspects it stumbles way harder than 2. The overall game flow feels weaker to me. P.S. Shotgun pistol is one of my favourite weapons in all of the games I have played.

Killzone 3 is not just Killzone 2 but with issues fixed. In fact I think it actually retains some of the originals issues (restrictive level design, relying on AI teammates), but it also introduces a host of problems of it's own: - a bunch of new ideas, none of which are fully developed and suffer from the restrictive level design - reliance on set pieces instead of... well, good level design - a story that has no rhyme or reason - way, way worse multiplayer than Killzone 2 Killzone 3 is, if anything, unfocused.

I think I know why Helghans are interesting (beside the look and design). Through whole Killzone series we see everything mostly from ISA perspective. Also ISA is basically USA in this universe so most people know what is going on here. However we don't know much about Helghans and what is going on behind the scene (till Killzone 3). Also it looks like they are based on totalitarian regime like USSR (leader died so high ranked members start fight for power). This is something that people don't know much and don't see very often.

In the Jungle mission in co-op Natko is referred to as "Sergeant Natko", a promotion from his previous rank of Corporal. He is not apparent in any cutscenes in either single player or co-op, and is only mentioned during co-op gameplay when needing medical assistance.

Or a good emulator with all the DLC at least xD.

It is beautiful though and after watching this review I think I'll give it another blast through. Glad to see you giving this series some love dude.

The only gaming KZreadr who has made me go google fetal alcohol syndrome just to fully understand the review

I remember getting a PS move just for this game, and it was actually quite fun to play with the move controllers. I don't think I ever used the PS move for any other game and it has collected dust ever since. I should probably try this game with the normal controllers because I don't think I actually ever did that

3:56 I’ve felt that ever since I played the game lol

3:05 that's just straight up dabbing

I'm a physician who has loved gaming since my Atari 5200. I feel guilty that I burst out laughing when you said the daughter looked like she had Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. In a couple of ways, you're right... SMH

I think Killzone 3 actually improved Rico's character in a lot of ways. While I won't deny that the events of the game were directly his fault, there were a few scenes where he realized it and decided to make up for it. For example, when Jammer sent out an SOS, Rico was the first one to come to her rescue. He not only saved her, but several other ISA soldiers, and even became their leader. Rico later rescued Sev and Narville from being executed by Stahl, and helped destroy the giant petrusite tower that trapped their whole battalion. So what I'm basically saying is, I really think Rico's a better character than most people give him credit for. It's just in KZ2 where he was horrible.

I loved this game and I played it a lot. I do wish games sometimes allowed you to play as the villain, ever since I was a fan of the Empire as a kid.

The tourettes guy soundbite was well mixed this time but I still heard it and laughed.

I booted this game up while testing a PS3/controller I'm refurbing. Even on a 120 monitor I'm astounded how good this game still looks.

Only an Australian could casually say they knew what tarantula legs look like with any degree of believability.

I kinda like how, Brothers in Arms Hell's Highway did "health", instead of having health you have a suppression effect that gets worse until you take a hit and die, it works like regen health in that it builds up and gets worse while under fire and goes away in cover, but also varies depending on the situation, ie if you're running from cover to cover under fire from more distant enemies you may get hit after 5-10 seconds in the open, but if you walk into a room and an enemy fires from like 4 feet away, you're dead almost instantly cause they hit you in 1 or 2 shots, I actually turn the "effect" off so I have less of an idea when I'll get hit, for mah imershun XD
