I have decided to create a thread where we can talk about videogames, gaming news, etc. (I don't think there's any thread dedicated to videogames yet).
I'll start by talking about a forgotten PS4 launch title:
Killzone Shadow Fall
It's the sequel to Killzone 3 and it's set in a future where humanity has abandoned earth in search for new planets to colonize. Eventually people settle in two close planets called Vekta and Helghan. Blah blah blah Vekta blows the planet of helghan to smithereens so they give the helghast, their mortal enemies and space nazis, half of the planet of Vekta because they're gigacucks. So KZ SF begins in a sort of cold war situation between the Vektan half of the planet and the New Helghan State.
The story is medíocre with a bland lifeless generic protagonist with a name that I don't recall. Wasted potential! Oh, and the ending was garbage, making all you worked towards meaningless.
The campaign itself is very fun for the first half, with open-ended levels and nice exploration. There is also a cool robot called "OWL" that helps you traverse the terrain, defends you from enemies, destroy's enemy defenses, hacks terminals, etc. But! It's a trainwreck! From the 7th or 8th story mission everything becomes more linear and they start throwing waves and waves of enemies at you to make the game artificially difficulty (because fuck creating interesting bosses with complex behaviours, right?) and I had a miserable time playing. But it gets even worse! The last level is one of the worst things that I've ever played on a PS4. Truly horrible. A shitty stealth mission that doesn't work in any way because the NPCs behave like cockroaches. The enemy AI is really bad, a very frustrating and irritating way of finishing a game.
The campaign, as a whole, is competent, but it really goes from a fantastic beginning that induces hype, to good, to bad and finally, to horrible. Since it ends so badly (both gameplay and story-wise) it might make you unfairly hate the entire single player mode.
Luckily, the game has a multiplayer component that is excellent, with varied maps and cool-looking weapons. It's also gorgeous, one of the best looking games I've played on the PS4 (and it's a launch title!), has a nice OST and gunplay, and runs well, at 60FPS.
Overall, I feel like the game is great, if only for the multiplayer. If the second part of the campaign wasn't shit and if it had an actual good story, it might have been something truly special.
Have you played any Killzone games before?
How do you feel about the series being dead?
Anyway,
Just talk about whatever game/game related stuff you want in whichever way you want
What are you playing?
What are you looking forward to playing?
