Thread 717339221

I tried this game recently and it's complete garbage. How the fuck did this get such positive reception? To this day some people call it an essential PS3 classic and the best launch title. This janky piece of shit released a full year after F.E.A.R. on a brand new, supposedly powerful console. It must have been really grim back in the day for anyone who "liked" it back then

What? They don't allow PS3 discussion

>>717339221 (OP)
I liked it. The campaign was throwaway mediocrity, nothing special. But the deathmatch was great. In the early PS3 days only rich white kids could afford one so the community was cool.

To your other point, yes it was grim for the PS3 in 2006 and 2007. You didn’t have many options, just Ninja Gaiden, Motorstorm, Ridge Racer, the worst Uncharted, and CoD4. So Resistance got more attention than it otherwise would have.

>>717339221 (OP)
You are complete garbage.

>>717339221 (OP)
By the time this game out gaming media had psy-op'd gamers into believing Halo and Half-Life were good titles, massively lowering the standards of the genre.

Because of console wars obviously. PS fanboys were calling every exclusive great even though they were trash

>>717339221 (OP)
Most early next-gen games have inflated scores and age poorly.
3 and one of the handheld games are the ones people like.

>>717339676
Half-Life 1 and Halo CE were good, yeah. You’re talking about the AAA sequels right?

>>717339221 (OP)
it has a fun campaign and is even more fun in coop. i still love rachel parker and wish i was nathan hale.

yeah it's trash plays like early ps2 game with ps3 graphics

>>717339741
So Resistance 2 is on part with the first one? I can give the series another chance I guess, so I should just play the third one?

>>717339775
I genuinely can't see how the campaign could be fun, the gameplay belongs in a bargain bin PS2 shooter

>>717340124
>cant see how it's fun
i liked the unique weapons, the guns were fun to use, the enemies were cool, and the setting was cool. it's not the wildest FPS ever, but i enjoyed it and played it a few dozen times over the years with and without a friend for coop.

>>717340124
Never played 2. iirc it was more CoD-ified but people liked the co-op campaign.
3 is what everybody considers it the best.

>>717340383
i didnt like 3 that much

>>717339221 (OP)
It's a good game for what it is. Of course, at this point is old an obsolete, and it doesn't really have any cool mechanics like FEAR or TimeShift to hold up these days.

>>717339221 (OP)
The 2nd was the best game in the series followed by the 3rd which was the worst

I liked 2 better than 1 as a Halofag
Nathan felt much closer to Chief in that one

>>717341048
2 had better multiplayer and the coop was a nice change of pace then we get part 3 which is just a copy of COD and so many retards pretend that soulless game is the best

>>717339546
My thoughts as well. I got this and Uncharted with my 80gig PS3, and I got a free copy of Pain thanks to a PS mag. I always liked the Resistance games for what they were - competent shooters, but nothing to rival Halo. For me, MGS4 was the first must-have exclusive.

>>717339221 (OP)
Pretty much every early ps3 title was jank, this was no exception but was still fun. 2nd one definitely had better budget and better realization of the consoles capabilities.

>>717339221 (OP)
>1st is the worst
>2nd is the best
>3rd is the one with the hairy chest
Any other series like this?

>>717339221 (OP)
It's a much better attempt at a Halo clone than Killzone 1 for PS2 was. The multiplayer and weapons were fun too you just had to be there.

>>717339546
Definitely spent a bit of its time in multi, and it was notable for hosting up to 40 players in a match when most games were doing 16 at most on PS3/360.
And then MAG came around and fucking spoiled me with its basic mode being 64 players at the minimum

>>717339887
The graphics are PS2 tier too

I just wish other games ripped off the Auger rifle. Not seen anything like it in a game since. The multiplayer was fun to play solely because the weapon loadout was unlike most games, and required a different approach.

>Definitely spent a bit of its time in multi, and it was notable for hosting up to 40 players in a match when most games were doing 16 at most on PS3/360.
I remember people were celebrating that as a milestone despite years before I was in 64 player Battlefield servers

>>717339221 (OP)
>muh halo killer

the gunplay felt nice from what i remembered. it has cool stuff like a radiation cannon and a nanite spray thing? i can't recall full details, but it was like the needler. either way the gameplay was alright. it was a cool sci-fi shooter. could have been faster paced though.

>>717342447
What will they expect us to do next? Kill one of the devs in a multiplayer match?!

>>717342339
Meanwhile I got to see an area in FFXI on my PS2 have 700 players in one map, even though it was a slideshow and could barely show more than 30 of them at a given time.

I think it was more a general milestone to break past 32 players, since that was the usual cap of most PS2/PS3 titles to that point.

They need to make more games where aliens invade during WW2. What if stories involving WW2 are so kino

>>717339221 (OP)
Kind of crazy, I played the 3rd expecting a decent game but it's the most mediocre shit you can find on the PS3
I guess it's a combination of having no games on launch and console wars back then

>>717342339
>64 player Battlefield servers
*raughs*

>>717339221 (OP)
this one and killzone 2 have horrendous slippery aimfeel

>>717343025
Yeah, one of the things I didn't like about R2 is that it looked nothing like the '50s. The generic dudebro stuff with super powers made it seem modern day.

>>717339221 (OP)
it was fun to co-op with friends
I know, a foreign concept for zoomie doomies

I remember thinking this one was pretty good.

>>717343163
This game was misleading there weren't 100 or whatever it was players on screen they were split into groups of mini servers

>>717343420

SOVL

Resistance I always enjoyed but I never in my life understood how anyone enjoyed Killzone. That game was janky as fuck

>>717343664
It was cool tech how they synchronized it all though, since you were free to run between the sections of the map seamlessly. Domination mode was four sets of 32v32 matches simultaneously. The 128 player modes were actual proper matches though.

A shame that was in the era of DLC map packs, since the best fucking mode, Interdiction, no one played since it cost $10. 3-teams of 32, and three outposts on the map to capture and hold for points over time. It was fucking chaos.

>>717343163
It's a shame console multiplayer games are just killed after a couple of years. It should be required by law to release server tools after official servers are shut down

>>717339221 (OP)
It was fine, except for the godawful checkpoints. The real reason to get a PS3 on launch was Motorstorm.

>>717343420
Is it possible to emulate yet?

>>717345063
>Motorstorm
Bullshit rubber banding the game

>>717339221 (OP)
>a full year after F.E.A.R.
oh wow FEAR!? ughhh such dogshit slow game. Resistance is faster and you have all your weapons. So much for muh pc fart race

>>717339221 (OP)

Fuck you OP. Zoomer faggot.

>>717345912
This is what years of movie games do to a MF.

>>717340383
Since fucking when? 1 is the best easily. No one cared about the franchise by the time 3 came out.

>>717339285
Keep trying

>>717344018
Killzone was like the prototype for all the milsim style FPS games that are out these days which all play horribly for the sake of "realism."

>>717339221 (OP)
Because 7th gen was complete dogshit and gaming became popular with literal dudebros who were buying endless amounts of dogshit console FPS Halo “killers” at the time and Snoys specifically were trying to hype up their own console shooter to justify their PS3 purchase

>>717347858
I thought that dude bros played exclusively on the 360

>>717339221 (OP)
This and Killzone 2 just underline how low the bar is on consoles for a "good" FPS game. I genuinely regret wasting my time on them but thankfully I also barely remember anything about the games except the pain.

>>717349258
Dudebros propped up the 360 for years before the PS3 overtook it finally but Sony was trying desperately to court them also. Wii brought in all the boomers and quirk chungus

>>717339221 (OP)
Was this the game that Sony had to admit their e3 trailer was running on PC?

Sony tried so hard to copy Halo instead of focusing on what they do best and they all ended up being generic trash

>>717339221 (OP)
Snoy biased media

I've never said Resistance was the best launch title, that does to another game.

Resistance 1 might be the weakest of the trilogy but all 3 games taken together are very great. Resistance 3 is for sure near the top of the FPS genre for me.

>>717343420
Played this again when it came to PS5.

It was pretty much like I remembered and that final boss still gave me shit eventhough its very simple "on paper".

>>717339221 (OP)
the co op multiplayer in resistance 2 was great fun

>>717343420
Best game in the series btw, not suprising from the Syphon Filter devs tho

>>717347210
>milsim style FPS games that are out these days which all play horribly for the sake of "realism."
these don't exist outside of your head

>>717339221 (OP)
how do these hold up /v/ros? will I like them better than the resistance trilogy or about the same?

>>717339221 (OP)
forty-player matches on dedicated servers at a time when MS was charging money for 16 player laggy ass peer to peer.
