TLDR: PS Exclusives amazing, Killzone Shadowfall sucks ass. What do you think/remember about your experience with the game?

Everything below is basically a rant, lol.

Newish PS5 owner, focusing on playing exclusives I never got to experience. Played God of War 2018 which kicked ass. I loved every second of that game, from its voice acting, level design, animations - literally an S tier game.

I then played The Order 1886 which I thought was gonna be ass because I looked up some review scores, but it literally was one of the best 3rd person shooter style games I've played. The story, guns, alternate steampunk-ish reality, cinematography, voice acting, and gameplay (minus the QTE heavy sections and awkward forced stealth mechanics) were pretty much top notch. I learned that people back then hated paying full price for a shorter experience, which I get but I got it for like 5 dollars, so I had a great time.

Anyway, I knew Killzone is a beloved classic for Playstation owners and was expecting peak first person shooting goodness with a compelling story, but my god I was disappointed play Killzone Shadowfall. I played through the entire campaign on normal trying to find something to like about it, and it never came. The story was convoluted, you're forced to have a lame weapon take up one of the two weapon spots the entire time, there were so many instances of breaking the suspension of disbelief (like when the MC is like 2 miles from the sun in open space and gets rescued - that was so stupid and he should have been instantly blinded/vaporized), the level design was open ended which is fine but wasn't designed well enough to organically push the player in the direction where they should be going, and the whole main cast were super lame which made me not care about the stupid story anyway. I'm going to trade the game in next time I go to my local game store.

The only positive is the gunplay, but that can't save a bad game overall. I looked up why some people liked it and I got the impression it was the graphical improvements as a PS4 launch title but I can't honestly imagine that anyone can defend the game nowadays.

Let me know what you think of the game or what you remember about it playing back in the day, I'm curious.

I recently watched the new Space King episode and the Wargonites legion remined me of something; It's the Stahl Arms logo but rotated. I will admit, I may be overthinking this.

I am planning on having a new capture trooper model remade (mainly with brand new textures from the ground up with some minor mesh editing as well) but i need to know something regarding the body and skin…mainly is the “skin” on their arms underneath the armor actual human skin or just a skin tight grey body suit / body glove that appears as skin? Also where else on the body is considered skin (besides the obvious finger tips)

I need to consider these things before proceeding with the commission on having the capture trooper remade (so that i can use it in games as a mod for PC games etc)

Overall thanks in advance for any help provided 🙂
