If resogun is like Geometry Wars in that it has tremendous replay value and you might be playing it years later, I personally don't see a problem. If KI has no reason to be played over SF, Marvel, etc, I also don't see a problem. This is why reviewing is tough though. Everyone feels differently.

Most reviews have said that KI has a lot of replay value. Being an online fighter means the game is very replayable. There's absolutely no way to tell if this game can/will stand up to marvel, SF, ect. But as of right now the game is getting a lot of respect and excitement from the fighter community.

Sony stans in here like "yup, told you this game sucks" but in the Killzone thread copping pleas like "nah, I don't know why reviewers are being unfair to PS exclusives" :camby:

you do know that Killzone is being compared to the Battlefield 4 experience right, i doubt any FPS released now will hit that mark, Battlefield 4 looks the be the new gold standard
Only hardcore Killzone fans will appreciate Shadowfall, as hardcore killer instinct fans will appreciate this

So we agree there's a double standard?

Ha. This game looks on point. Just like Killzone does. I started playing Killzone and was trying to figure out what all the beef was about. I bet this game will be the same way. I fired up that Resogun shyt....I'd never seen a review for it......I'm sitting there wondering what in gods name am I playing. That shyt was just a bunch shyt on screen. These reviews can't be trusted.

Reviews for fighting games are irrelevant
Normally you'd be right since majority of reviewers dont know shyt about fighting games and are casual fans at best, except this is the only time when their criticism is 100% valid. All the negatives are about the game lacking because its unfinished, which isnt even an opinion, its a fact. As xbots in here have pointed out, reviewers seem to be praising the gameplay that is present, which is ironic since again, reviewers dont know shyt about fighters.

I'm a certified Sony stan, I was leading an anti Xbox crusade prior to changes within the whole DRM shyt etc. Once they reverted KI was enough for me to know I'd buy both on launch, I finally decided to only get KI for now, I've also played it for hours and hours and can safely say that the mechanics and gameplay are top notch. I am sold, I'm paying 575$ to play this game and have no regrets. It's the best fighting game I've played in ages.

I can understand the 7.5s and 8s due to an evident lack of characters and story mode (which is irrelevant to me) because I will only play at 2p or online. The lack of characters will eventually be addressed and newer ones will come in.

This and NBA 2K14 are the only two games that are worthy of a purchase from all next gen games.
