Fanboy Friday: Killzone 2 Edition photo

It's Fanboy Friday again! And boy do we have some good stuff for you this week.

As most of you know, the Killzone 2 reviews have been pouring in, and most have been very positive. PS3 owners have been anxiously awaiting a good, solid game for quite a while, and they appear to have gotten it with Killzone 2 (I have to say, the video of the guy who rushes the level with 1 hit knife kills still makes me skeptical, but...). Across the board, Killzone 2 has been getting excellent scores -- it currently has a 93 on Metacritic, and almost all of the review scores are 9s and 10s.

Except one.

One foolish website, www.totalvideogames.com, did a pretty damn positive review and ended up giving Killzone 2 an 8/10, calling it a "defining PS3 exclusive blockbuster" and an "essential purchase".

As you can imagine, this didn't go over well. Hit the jump for some mass idiocy.

When I was writing this up, there were already 440 comments on the review. There are TONS of hilariously stupid comments, but I went through individually and picked out only the very best, just for you. If you feel like laughing for a really, really long time, I suggest going through and reading them all. A lot of the drama comes from the way they round their scores -- certain categories are given more weight than others, which apparently people can't comprehend.

The comments start out back in 2007 when the game was first announced, and feature some boring squabbling over graphics and the 360 versus the PS3. The good stuff really comes when the review score is released. Here we go!

First, we learn that reviews shouldn't be based on the game, but on how badly a console needs good titles and how much the reviews will personally insult the developers.

you guys are [#@!?]ed up for doing this to a console that really needs its premier title

...You have absolutely no class whatsoever..You might as well resign now because people will be demanding that you be fired immediately after insulting every gamer not to mention the developers who worked their asses off to bring this masterpiece to the gaming world...

Next come the insults.

Look at this! What have i see?! yeah.. a S.HIT sexbot fan make a review of a PS3 game... Stupid as.shole

learn how to review a game and maybe wouldnt be a microsh*ting fagtart

what is that smell of Bill gates semen? Oh Chris leyton farted.

the reviewer obviously loves to buttfuck his 360 to death

Apparently, "sexbot" is an insulting word for the 360. I'm not entirely sure why, since a sexbot sounds AWESOME. That second guy gets it. "Microshitting fagtart" is probably the greatest insult I've ever heard, and I'm going to actively try to work it into my vocabulary.

Some people show that they're clearly better reviewers than Chris Leyton.

i give your review a 2 for originality and a 10 for douchebaggery

Before playing the game off reviews and vids I'd give it a 9/10.
Whew! I'm glad someone else does reviews by watching videos. I thought I was the only one...

This guy wins the "Commenter of the Year" award.

DO YOU THINK WE ARE STUPIDS? CONFUSING MY ASS! YOU SHOULD REVIEW THIS VIDEOGAME AS A GAME NO FPS AND YOU SHOULD HAVE FAIR PARAMETERS TO REVIEW GAMES. i HAVE PS3 WI AND XBOX 360 i LIKE ALL FOR SOME REASONS. YOU ARE BIAS MAN.

And finally, I like to end with a couple voices of reason -- the people who generally speak the truth and know what they're talking about.

An eight is a excellent score. I don't understand how everyone can get up in arms over a score which suggests that a game is better than 80% of all other games. Oh, I know why, because you all read pandering, bull[#@!?] websites that hand out 9's and 10's like candy to a school of retards. It sure would be nice to see sites that actually used the whole scale. [Ed note: Hey! We do that!]

lol fags if this was on the wii it would be a huge success

See you next week!

"PS3 owners have been anxiously awaiting a good, solid game for quite a while, and they appear to have gotten it with Killzone 2"

I think statements like this are part of the reason PS3 fanboys are so rapid. I've been playing a ton of good, solid games on my PS3 for months now. *shrugs*

Pure hilarity, I wonder if these microshiting fagtards really know that the rest of the gaming community basically thinks we'd be better off if every one of them would just go away, or burn in a pit of fire. Either works for me.

I like the guy who knows to capitalize the word "I" and thus out of force of habit holds down the shift key when he types it even though capslock is on.

Although it is possible he accidentally turned capslock, in which case it's funny that he doesn't capitalize sentences.

The people who are shocked about these reactions obviously do not go to the System Wars forum at Gamespot. You can find hundreds of comments like these every single day, and it's considered totally normal.

I think this insanity could have been avoided if he had actually rounded up on the scores as pointed out by a few people there...

"This must have already been brought up but: 97 92 90 77 86 = 88.4. Mr. Leyton, you need to learn to how to round good sir."

That is indeed true. And it seems, this isn't the first time that reviewer has had issues with a review and rounding it up.... Or down as this case illustrates:

"Please refer to the Lord of the Rings: Conquest review by Chris Leyton for this math

(61 68 49 58 28)/5=52.8 using his apparent method for averaging it should be a 5. wrong dear old chris gave it a 4. i thought he was biased against the ps3 for a second there but it turns out he is just a complet moron"

Yes, the people are still fucking morons for getting pissed at an 8, but I hope you recognise that they suckered us for hits, and we bought it.
DinnertimeNinja's Avatar - Comment posted on 02/06/2009 20:03

8 is certainly not a low score but I DO think that quotes such as "a defining PS3 exclusive blockbuster" and an "essential purchase" belong only on games rated 9 or higher.

And again, the problem isn't that other sites don't use the whole review scale, it's that 90% of games that get released (the TRUE "shit" games) don't even make a blip on the review radar. I mean, go look at the recent Wii reviews on gamerankings.com at any given time and you'll see DOZENS of scores of 5/10 and below.

The whole scale IS getting used, people just don't seem to realise that 5 IS actually around the average review score for games when you actually take into account ALL of the released games and not just the high profile ones.

8 is a total failing score in the eyes of these folks and if you don't give this game a 10 you can get out!

You shoulda seen what happened on gamefaqs when this review got announced. the ps3 board became an epic flamewar of lulz in a single topic.

I took some time to read the comments and also some comments from review links provided on Penny Arcade, and I'm almost speechless. The only thing is that I'm never speechless and thus have way too much to say. I have lost a little more faith in humanity. I honestly had no idea that the number of completely stupid people was so high. I don't give a shit if a lot of these posters are 14 years old. When you're 14, you shouldn't be a corporate shill for a console manufacturer to the point of sounding like an ignorant turd.

It makes me want to grab these morons individually (or collectively, it would save time) and shake the shit out of them and scream, "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?!?!" Seriously, who would get so worked up about what a goddamned website thought of a game, or whether other people prefer a different console than you do?

But then again, I know that these folks are just mentally fucking sick, and because they love games their mental illness has caused them to latch onto console manufacturers or specific video games. If they were born in a different time or place, they'd be blowing themselves up and expecting a paradise with a few dozen virgins or burning "witches" at the stake, I suppose.

How is it that the internet either makes people not care how they come off to others, or care *too much*, to the extent that they fume and freak out about what others enjoy or do with their spare time?

It's like Dead Rising with even more zombies. You can shotgun a couple of them by trying to explain to them how fucking stupid they are or how to put together a rational argument, but soon you just get overwhelmed with idiots, and guess what, they can't fucking read or comprehend simple concepts anyway, and pretty soon you realize how hopeless it is.

*sigh*

My favorites are the ones that can't write proper English, and don't understand when you point out the errors they've made. It makes me a happy turtle to realize that I really can communicate better than at least 80% of the people who use the web, and 99% of the fanboys.
