It looks nice, but the removal of a much better screen is a deal killer in my opinion. What's the point in giving us a great screen if the next revision of the item just drops it? You're supposed to improve your product, not downgrade it!
The first one was great, and the multiplayer was a lot of fun, but the series got progressively worse until it became worthless with Judgment. Seriously, you guys aren't missing much.
I don't see a problem with it. It looks nice, and I'd happily display it. I don't understand why people get so up in arms over a little bit of eroticism towards the female form. If you've got something beautiful and people like it, then show it off. Women are an incredible side of the human race, and it's only natural that males like to enjoy their figures.
I know there's a lot of hate going around for how woman are portrayed in games, but there's plenty of heroines in games and lately there's been a lot of female leads that barely show anything, so what's wrong with a bit of skin now and again. Women like to look at men in all their glory, so there should be no uproar about men liking to look at women. A woman may get mad because she feels that you're objectifying a woman because of how she looks, but that's not true. The female form is a sight to behold, just like the wonders of the world and I don't think they mind too much about you gawping at them, and certainly don't care if you don't "like them for their personality".
I'm pretty certain that if you recieve something that you didn't order, you can keep it as unsolicited goods or as an unconditional gift. You don't have an obligation to return it, though it would be reasonable to arrange for the company to collect it.
They cannot demand payment, but also cannot take legal action.
@D3athBr1ng3r187 You keep saying Nintendo Life are "invading". I've seen a couple of comments and they aren't at each others throats. What are you talking about?
The launch games are always more scrutinised than any games that come after. Killzone is getting tepid reviews because it's a game that is designed to show off the console, and that is what it does. However, reviewers expect the big launch games to be perfect, which doesn't happen because developers are not familiar with the hardware.
When you start a new job, you need training. When you move in to a new home, you need to decorate it. When you buy a new pair of shoes, you need to break them in. Nothing starts off exactly how you want it to, because you need time to get it there. Reviewers don't care about that, and review the games more harshly because of this mind frame they are in that the games cannot be less than stellar. If Killzone came out in 2 years time, with nothing different (literally the exact same game), it would score slightly higher because it won't be put under as much scrutiny, guaranteed.
Killzone looks stunning, as does Knack and many others but the smart gamer knows that when buying in to the beginning of a new console's lifespan, that you need to let it grow before you get a big return on your investment.
@get2sammyb I'm signed up to both TA and TT. Fantastic websites! I'm glad Sony are doing this, as it just makes it easier for people to see how awesome my Trophies are!
Now this does mean I need to get the Platinum on Max Payne 3 (already fully completed the 360 version).
I love the comments in Francis' unboxing video! The morons don't even realise that Francis is a comedy character, and isn't the "real" person, and instead are just insulting him and telling him that he's a fraud. Some people get too jealous...
Such a shame that it has to be CoD. I wish the idiots would stop buying in to that crap, and let the news articles talk about other games starting off the next generation sales. Let's hope this is the last in this tired old franchise.
I'll weep silently, clutching my PS3 in my arms with the lights turned off and the curtains drawn because my PS4 fund currently sits at £8. I'm not great at saving...
@Gemuarto You hate tight controls, good story, great graphics, exploration, great audio work, wonderful execution and a game series that is just all around fun to play?
That's alright, CoD is out in a week to whet your appetite.
It's kind of hard to take the rest of the article seriously when you needlessly bash the 360 controller AND the gamers who enjoy it in your opening statement.
I prefer the 360 layout because it just feels more comfortable to me. I've never been a fan of the Playstation layout, and the rubber on the thumbsticks. The 360 controller is one of the finest controllers ergonomically and I'd rather use it over a Playstation controller any day of the week.
That's not to say I dislike the PS3 controller, but it really was in need of a change, and Sony decided to leave it alone.
The reviews this game is getting reminds me of Deadly Premonition. You either loved it, or you didn't. Games, movies, music and books that divide opinions so fiercely are normally some of the best because they really get to you in some way.
I'm looking forward to playing through this game, and I'm sure I'll enjoy it thoroughly.

They seem to be available in my town, which is good because after all the extra hours I'm putting in at work I'll be able to pick mine up in 3 weeks!

Re: Wait, Square Enix Didn't Even Port Final Fantasy X|X-2 HD Remaster?
This was obvious, when was the last time Square worked on a decent Final Fantasy? Oh, I remember, in the early 2000's.

How do you guys pronounce the name of this game?
The actual name is "The Letter V Six Times", but I think it would be fun to see what you guys call it.
