Yeah, that was the uber short version and is not overly nuanced. Point being that it was not the usual "Vekta was a peaceful planet, then space-nazis!" plot that we get. The politics is what has won me over to the series actually.

I'm terrible at saving money. Unless it is put beyond my reach (i.e. in my pension) I just spend it, so paying stuff off along the way is actually quite handy. I got a £45 Amazon voucher for completing a survey for Thompson Compumark (we use their TM search stuff) didn't think they'd actually pay up, but hey, not bad for 15 minutes of multiple choice checkboxes. So I redeemed it against my Amazon purchase of the Killzone / camera / controller bundle. (Which, incidentally Amazon have not charged me any more for). Boo, they just updated the price.

I've actually never thought of the Helghast as "baddies" they were always just the other team. One of the things I like about Killzone is that it's one of the more balanced stories out there. Mercenary really drives this point home. Both sides come off as bad as each other in that. The Helghast lived on Vekta and mined Helghan for minerals. The UCN saw the increasing wealth of the Helghast as a threat to stability and invaded Vekta, forcing the the Helghast to live on the inhospitable mining colony. The Helghast sought to retake Vekta which kicks off with the attack on Vekta at the start of KZ1. Really, in KZ1 you play the role of a soldier serving under the oppressive colonists, while the Helghan are a displaced people trying to reclaim their homeland.

Will smith's character in that is pretty disposable. Anyone could have played taxi driver for Jeff.
-
I'm white. I find Will Smith's ability to play himself in every single movie he's ever appeared in to be deeply unimpressive. My apathy for him is matched only by my bewilderment at his level of success.

Possibly the sound PS4 makes when being turned on? Seems shorter than the Xbox sound. Edit: Yeah, at the end they do the startup sounds for PS1,2,3 along with the symbols, and then when 4 appears the same sound plays.

"Put a microtransaction, virtual currency model in!" they said. It'll be fun!" They said. Clearly in a very glass house, throwing very big stones. But... Balancing the currency so that they can sell it seems to have sucked a lot of fun out of the game based on the above comments.

Exactly! -
Hahaha. I do love that. It causes huuuuge discomfort in a room.

Precisely why it is the one you should dump. -
Referring to any group by a physical feature is going to be somewhat problematic, "blondes" could be considered derisory depending on context. Serious offense to "blacks" should however be avoided provided you are not telling people to "never relax around" them.

@Ethan Dump RDR. -
"Borderline"? Godzilla much?
-
I have no idea what I am doing! Sat night works.
-
Just bought it.
-
Yeah, no jaggies!
-
True. And they'd have called it Flower HD or something.
-
Hope Flower gets a polish up or something for PS4 (don't get me wrong it looks great on PS3 but I always want more).
-
Sounds like sprint cycling.
-
Pretty much I guess. Still. I find it ludicrous.
-
It must have been a really last minute call to delay since in the UK Sony are offering Watch-Dogs console bundles.
-
Hmm, interesting.
-
Eh?
