Polygon is a joke. They gave this a 5.0 and COD: Ghosts a 7.0 on Xbone.

Why are so many of you lambasting a reviewer just because the score is sitting in the middle? The level of bold-faced incredulity that people seem to have towards games criticism (especially when those people constantly accuse the industry of being 'moneyhats') whenever a score doesn't align with their own expectations is astounding.
Aha. AHA. AHAHAHAHHAHAA. Oh my.

That review is kind of outside the others so far, not sure why you would say that.

I expected better reviews for this one, really. As a total Killzone non-fan, it always looked terrific in my eyes, but it looks like it's going to be the worst reviewed home console Killzone yet.
This. Mediocre franchise. If it wasn't for the visuals, nobody would talk about Killzone.
Have you played the game yourself? A game is more than just pretty graphics and framerate.
I do not understand the neogaf mindset that gameplay and game mechanics don't matter. So obsessed with framerates that seemingly that's all it should take to please all.
6.5 or 7.

Polygon's 5/10 seems excessively low considering they gave Ghosts a 7/10.
Don't forget the exclusivity.

seems expected. kinda knew since launch trailer that this was gonna be a cinematic shootery majig with a big emphasize on graphics.
Glad framerate sounds good!

All I care about is if the multiplayer has legs. Story is secondary for me

But the reviews are sounding troublesome... I thought Guerilla would nail this game just as they nailed KZ2.

lol too familiar design.
And then they will give Halo, Call of Duty, Battlefield and all the other " exact same as before " shooters 8's and 9's.
Typical of todays gaming press.

KZ2 is one of the best shooters ever made. Not so much for it's SP, but for it's sublime multiplayer, which to this day is, imo, one of the finest multiplayer shooters ever made. Behind only Counter Strike Source.

Not too great, not too bad. Seems like an average game. I was never in to the Killzone series, but this one looked promising. I may pick it up eventually. Not any time soon, though.

Yes and that's.......questionable at the least.
Liking what I'm reading in some of the text's. Going to be a good experience and the MP looks like a blast.

A 7/10 from Eurogamer?
Man, next gen's off to a rough start. :[
Perhaps Sessler was on to something about indies being the first ones to innovate and then hopefully it will trickle down to the big AAA stuff.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Hearing that the more open level design quickly regresses is probably the biggest disappointment for me. I've always felt Killzone, as a series, really isn't all that great (I don't think Killzone 2 is a good shooter at all, but Mercenaries does some great stuff), but the wider play space and open level structure had me more excited than I would be for a Killzone game.

Look at the negative on the Kotaku review, "cookie cutter story sequences that players have already seen before"...umm sounds like every CoD ever, yet that never seemed to pull the scores down in CoD (Ghosts aside).

You and the majority of people who will be picking this up. And yet reviewers still don't seem to grasp this so they rush through the campaign and play a few hours of MP to get a review out in time for launch. Pitiful.
GAF impressions are what will matter with this game.
Looks like all the FPS are getting pooped on critically. BF4 and Ghosts are also the lowest reviewed console entries in those series as well. I think the fatigue has finally set in.
Edit: Not for me. I rarely play FPS every few years, so I can't wait for my dosage of BF4, Blacklight, and Kz:SF on PS4! In reality everyone is waiting for Destiny and Titanfall. Those seem like the evolution people are ready for in the genre. No way these games are as bad as they are being reviewed as.

Yeah I don't play FPS games but I got the Killzone Vita game and it's pretty awesome. If I can play that on a bigger scale that would be awesome.
People should stop giving so much airplay to these reviews, man. They are meaningless, especially the numbers.
Lol at your tag. While i havent read the reviee since im avoidibg spoilers, seems like other reviewers kinda like it
Because that would mean having to wait a couple of weeks. And we can't have that, now can we? Think of all the clicks they'd miss!

this polygon quote:
that kinda sums up 90% of first person shooter campaigns this gen for me lol. Damn shame the 'open level design' was kinda bs.

Because they were fair in story elements ith the last Call Of Duty and "Venezuela conquers North America" and dragged down the score of Ghosts even more.
I'm surprised at how all over the place these seem to be. Oh well, they're at least keeping my hype in check. Expecting more of a KZ3 than a KZ2 now.
The lack of open levels is the worst news about this game. If I was expecting a standard Killzone game then I wouldn't be disappointed but I really thought it was going to be significantly more open ended. I'm just glad I know that going in now but I feel like the game was misrepresented because of that.
