Wrong. Killzone was an input lag mess. It had nothing to do with “realism” and “mass”. Firearms don’t weight enough for that nonsense.

It was on purpose. They talked about it before release. The only way to simulate some sort of mass in video games is to add a bit of input lag. Even on games with snappy input, they'll sometime include lag when you're meant to be pushing something heavy. It's also why games like metal gear solid feel so arcade-y. They're too snappy and your character feels weightless

None of the other Killzones had that. That was pure PR nonsense to cover up for their engine being unable to cope with the graphics demands.
If you've never held a firearm before, go do so before believing that line of bullshit. Even a 15lb bolt action doesn't handle like that.

It wasn't about the guns being heavy. It was also the amount of gear the character was carrying.
Anyway, don't really care. Believe what you like

I mean, the controls makes everyone kinda shitty at this game. So don't fret!
Great game though.
By the way, how do you tell what "honor" level you are? I just hit down on the d-pad and I'm always just slighty to the right of center. I'm about to just start beating the shit out of every pedestrian I see. Too hard to be good in this game, that time period was just not made for being "good".

Enjoying this more now that I’ve gotten used to the controls. I still think it’s a little punitive when things go sideways. I still think cores were a dumb idea and I still think they could have shortcutted a few things like crafting. Hitting X 300 times for a split point bullet is dumb.
I’m just about finished with chapter 3 and I’m having more fun with it now that I’ve figured it out a little better. I also got raped by a hillbilly.

I got a little misty when you watch your horse die, especially, as that was my horse from the first hour of the game. 70 hours with the dude.... I preferred playing as Arthur, put enjoyed the epilogue chapters as they gave a great foundation for the original. The post credits scenes went a long way to filling in the gaps as well and were really well done.
Finished this a week or so ago and I'm still thinking about it. I have no real desire to go back and finish the hunts, fishing, etc.... but I will remember forever this game as one of, if not THE richest gaming experiences I've ever had. There are some things to improve on, no question, but the overall experience is about as good as I can remember. The story was much better than I expected it to be, and a lot of the tedious stuff (though not all of it) is forgiven in my mind the instant you get to the first of many impactful plot points.
Many on here say they can only stomach this for short bursts, but for me it was the exact opposite. When the game really came together, and forced me to say "ahhh I get it", are the sessions when I'd binge for 5+ hours at a time, spending time in the world, with the camp denizens, with my horse, listening to the music etc. I lost a lot of that playing scattershot. For me, this is easily a 10/10 (if any game can ever truly be perfect) and my game of the generation.
I loved The Witcher 3, I loved God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, Spiderman, etc but none felt as engrossing to me and left me with a feeling quite like this (even though actually playing them, in a lot of cases was more fun - GOW for example I still jump into every once in a while because of how satisfying it is to play). In fact, the only other game I can think of where I came close to this feeling is TLOU - a game that was also as much a simulation as it was a "game" in some respects. I don't think I want every game to go that direction, as eventually it would absolutely burn you out, but every now and then it's a real treat and bodes well for the future of gaming.
After the debacle of Blizzcon, it would be easy to think everyone is out for a quick easy $. It was depressing seeing not only their complete disregard (maybe even contempt) for their biggest fans, and it made me a little jaded. Some of my favorite games ever are Blizzard games. After just completing this game however, it's obvious there are still developers out there who give a shit. They give a shit about $ too, but they also give a shit about making exceptional experiences. CDPR, Rockstar, From, and quite a few others give a shit.... Knowing that extremely talented, passionate people still work on games makes me really excited for the future of this industry. In 2018 there are more turds than not, but some of the great games that have come out recently belong on the Mount Olympus of gaming and it's a really exciting time to be a gamer. Bring on Shadows Die Twice & Cyberpunk. TLOU2, etc and let the Blizzards of the world work on their polished MTG bullshit

Anyone noticing the game gets a bit glitchy as your progress through it? I had to save the artist dude from being beaten up by a guy whose wife he fucked. I pointed my gun at him, then it went straight into a cut scene of Arthur saying "I don't know why I did that", but the man was still standing there frozen, then he disappeared. I didn't actually get to do anything for that mini mission.
After another mission last night, it cut to me standing by my horse as the entire environment slowly rendered from blurry mess to full render over 8 or 9 seconds, then went directly into another cut scene.

Yeah, happened to me when I robbed the Doctor's office in Valentine. I don't think it gets "more" glitchy, just I'm sure there are certain situations that were tested where it goes a bit haywire. From a QA standpoint I think it would be almost impossible to completely test every single possibility of when you do something, what you had done before that, what time of day and weather, etc. etc.

There's a bug where some characters go missing for a chapter that Rockstar said they would fix. Outside of that, no details. I don't think waiting for a patch is necessary, though.
Update. PS4 was here I got home from work. Flash forward 30mins, girlfriend isn't talking to me after we fought about what tv I would play it on.
Installing now on the tv I stole from our bedroom and moved to my "man room." Can't help but feel this might be a Pyrrhic Victory, but at least I'm not going to be bothered tonight.
