- Polygon launched with $750k in sponsorship from MS (Press Reset)
- Review has no mention of remote play, and certain gameplay features like OWL
- Multiplayer impressions based on gameplay at a hotel review event
- The reviewer openly said on Twitter he was hoping Sony would announce anything but a new Killzone back during the unveil
Off the top of my head..
Really? really?
Polygon is an easy target due to their affiliation with Microsoft and Gies' questionable credibility after various internet fiasco's. The game can't actually be a 5/10 because they're being bribed, Gies hates the series and/or is unreliable, etc.

When this game first was debut at the reveal I was watching a lot of the coverage from the various sites and the general sentiment from the gaming media was "not another killzone" /rollseyes so a lot of these reviews even down to the review text are exactly what I expected. Reviewers just dont like this series at all.
lol are you serious? Reading all about a game is the same as playing it?

It really isn't anything special. At all. Wait... they usually look pretty good.

Least they were generous enough to give the hardware an average score.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
I'm sure Arthur "I make up my mind about games before a second of footage is shown" Gies gave it a fair shake though.
If you guys want to watch. Polygon is streaming Killzone. http://new.livestream.com/accounts/2712456/events/2540012/player_pop_out
I dunno, I've enjoyed them a lot more than some of the more popular series (Call of Duty for instance).
The Crysis series gets a lot of shit too but it's one of my favorite series of the past generation.
Haha, what? You can't be serious.

Obviously a lot of people disagree with you. You keep coming in here and bashing the series. I agree with you that the KZ2 art director is greatly missed but that's not what made KZ2 a good game, it just made it a better one.

I'm not sure if Arthur Gies is capable of reviewing a cheese sandwich.

Looking like I'll be returning that copy of Killzone to Amazon. Guess Battlefield 4 will be my go-to for FPS gaming this year, assuming I don't decide to sell my PS4 now and buy it again once MLB hits. Very disappointing.
This was the one game I was hoping would review overwhelmingly great.

Never understood the Crysis hate. Crysis 2 may be one of my all time favourite shooters, and Crysis 3 was a damn fine experience.
Ridiculous that he reviewed the game when he clearly isn't a fan.

A lot of people, like me.
Guerilla puts a lot of effort in the SP.
Some people here really have some silly comments. From both sides of the spectrum.
Killzone being a solid 7-8 game is no great shame. The 9.5 score is just as much an outlier.
Visually looks amazing though. Do we have any gifs of reloading animations, yet?

Shan can we expect edge review? I don't really take reviews to hurt, but I do find complaints given by edge and Eurogamer to be more valid.

I don't think you need to be a fan, you just need to go in with an open mind. Unfortunately Arthur's mind was preoccupied dreaming of an office space next to Larry.

From the GB quicklook, this game looks pretty boring. Just a standard shooter campaign, hopefully the multiplayer is good. 
Seems like mixed reviews, some complaining about it devolving into linearity towards the end and the usual complaints about the campaign. GG's strong suit has never been the narrative of these games, so it's hardly surprising.
Although I wonder how much hands on time they had with the multiplayer
lolygon keeping the status quo getting those clicks, their Ryse/Dead Rising 3 review threads should be awesome

Game still looks interesting and different from a pacing standpoint. Sessler's review is insightful. He painted the pacing to be like Half-Life 2 with its traversal aspect. His words made the game sound better than a 3/5 but I'm sure he has a reason to rate it there. I guess the biggest reason is that it isn't "new" enough for the FPS genre. Lets see if he contradicts himself when he reviews BF4 and CoD:Ghosts.

Average scores seem to be 7-8. Polygon's 5 is an obvious outlier.

I've always enjoyed most of the KZ games and never understood the review scores against them, when the exact same stuff gets glowing reviews elsewhere like COD and BF games. They love to spew the word generic, then praise the next modern military shooter for it's cinematic "visceral" action.
Are they? That's not what the OP shows.

My problem is that he reviewed it after saying he never liked the series. He had already made up his mind, and shouldn't have reviewed it. It is a question more of ethics in the end.
I am going to enjoy the game anyways as I have always liked Killzone,
Point #2 - neither did many reviews
Point #3 - as are most all of them
As for him not being a fan of Killzone, its kind of hard to ignore that when you review a game. Again - the idea of subjectivity cant be taken out. People need to stop focusing on one single review and look at them as a whole and start reading what they're saying. Make your decision(if you haven't already) based on that, not on just one. Its stupid to get upset because one person doesn't feel the same as you. No game ever has had absolute, universal praise.
Well, I won't be playing this or any other new FPS, but according to metacritic COD:G is better than this. Can it really be? I can't think of a more tired game than COD.
That said, I always thought that Killzone was such a horrible name and just put you in the worst mindset when coming at this game. But, I did enjoy KZ2 quite a bit.

Reviews of the campaign are tempering expectations but for my money I'd rather a KZ campaign than a BF or COD one any day.
That is unless Guerilla has managed to fully transform into one of those other games from a single player perspective. Dramatically reduced kill times and shallow or simplistic AI would certainly be some early signs.

Yep, that was the final nail in the coffin for me. The MP while decent does not look as good as Battlefield, so I changed my pre-order to that. I am especially disappointed that the promised openness did not work out as Eurogamer mentions.
It's certainly no Syndicate.
Ghosts reviewed modestly, and like a poster above said, no shooter is doing what Battlefield is doing as far as scope of battle is concerned.
