The squad based objectives were a total failure. The mp still just devolved into a massive spamfest. Sony really needs to stop pushing for these massive servers and just make a good mp already. I liked the XP idea, but everything else reaked of 'generic'. The whole game just felt slapped together. Don't even get me started on the atrocious co-op mode.
Its just seems like the devs are out of touch w/ what players think is fun. Take the main gun you start of for example. It must ...
Wow I can't wait to play this zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Maybe I'm just spoiled because first and foremost I have always been a PC gamer, but even when Halo first came out I wasn't impressed. There is something about MS lineup of games, they try to hard to emulate better pc titles, I would much rather own a PS3, sony actually understands console gaming.
It does seem like a lot of 360 owners are intimidated by PCs.
There was some real funky bullet lag going on, and a lot of the maps just felt overcrowded.
I actually liked the SP more, the AI was fun to play against and the last boss was nearly impossible on veteran. The story was sub par but who cares, its just an FPS.
GET A FRICKIN PC YOU IDIOTS! If you are going to play a console, than you are just gonna have to live w/ the sh1tty servers!
Somehow they managed to give ODST a higher score
But really, not that an 8.8 is bad and all, but I thought this was more of an AAA game...they don't really justify the score in their review, it seems like it should be higher.
Are you kidding me? Does nobody remember last holiday season, when the UNDERWHELMING Resistance 2 was the center of the PS3 lineup? There were ads everywhere for that game. Anytime you saw a PS3 commercial they would always mention Resistance.
Its not that I don't love a good Ratchet and Clank game, but until Insomniac can transcend their one successful franchise I just don't put them on the same level as Naughty Dog.
Yeah, rare hasn't been the same since 1/2 the devs left to form the now defunct free radical. And if you ask me, those devs seemed like the more confident ones, Free Radical was repsonsible for bringing us Timesplitters, and I'm sure they were the one's repsonsible for GoldenEye and Perfect Dark back in the N64 days.
But honestly, I don't think Rare has made a good game since the N64, what have they really contributed to Xbox?
...but Donkey Kong 64 was boring as hell. It had these huge empty spaces you had to explore and collect fruit. It actually came with a little memory expansion because the game was so huge for a 64, but that didn't make it any more fun...it almost felt more like a bad Sonic the Hedgehog game, like the one for dreamcast.
Where else is there really for them to go w/ this thing? R2 was highly forgetable. It was just a mash up of a bunch of different FPS modes, none of them truly excelled. Personally, I'm sick of the emphasis on all these huge servers hosting tons of players w/ gameplay that amounts to nothing - from what the beta testers are saying, MAG continues this tradition.
What would you people rather have, another CoD imitator like MAG or a true next gen Socom?
What it comes...
Wow, you guys are right, Brutal Legend is teh awesome, and this inflated score has nothing to do w/ the fact that the gaming community is all over Tim Schaefer's nuts. This guy could have made that game from burger king and it would have gotten praised!
Fact of the matter is, if this weren't a Schaefer procduction, the hype would be nowhere as big.
Naughty Dog on the other hand, really has pushed the boundaries, U2 is setting a graphical benchmark that probably ...
You know they are going to jock a tim shaefer game, just like they did w/ his underwhelming psyconaughts. Personally, I think the guys is overrated, and I'm sick of the gaming community showering him w/ praise just because he made a few good games back in the day. The same can be said about Kojima to a lesser extent. U2 blows MGS4 out of the water in terms of cinematic quality.
Typical comment on this board
waaaaaaah
xbox sucks
waaaaah
But yeah, I would think the perfect racing sim would score higher than a 91, that being said, Forza3 is still a damn good game and if you can't recognize that you need to pull the dualshock out of your @ss.
I have never seen so much insecurity on display in one place.
First ME, not L4D, just what are those crazy russians slipping in their vodka? Can't wait til they announce crackdown as a PS exclusive.
But honestly, this wouldn't be the first time a retailer mislabeled a game.
Are 360 users really that desperate for something else? Last time I checked, games were doing just fine w/o these so called innovations. It doesn't matter how supposedly 'great' these controls are, it will do little to effect the quality of a game - that just comes down to design. If this tech ever does take the place of standard controls devs are still going to have to design quality games.
As it stands, project natal, along w/ any motion controls, are 90% hype, 10% reality. I...
Someone's a little late to the party.
This just in, NG2sigma isn't an official sequel!
Hopefully this isn't true. Resistance never was that 'great', and there really is nowhere else for them to go with this game. Its time for Insomniac to work on another game.
Must be nice to win an award for a product that ISNT EVEN OUT YET!
Resistance 2 sucked! I'm sorry, but just because it was originally a launch title doesn't give the sequel an excuse for sucking. There were a few impressive things about Re2 but for the most part it was a disappointment.
If you don't put Halo on a list like that you automatically lose cred. The game has sold too many copies and had such an impact on gaming to be ignored.
The same goes for CoD. Something has to be said for it being one of the top selling shooters....
Its funny, but the arcade version runs off the PS3 hardware, its no wonder they both have long load times.
That being said, I'd play this game anyday over SF4: If Re-hashes could kill. The visuals and animations are pretty impressive.
