I always thought it was the other way around. At least, for the type of game I prefer, RPG and action game, it always is. Reviewer will rush to write their review without playing the side quest or exploring close to everything there is to explore.

The campaign was going really well until it ended, I checked my time and I beat it in pretty much less than 5 hours. There weren't any epic boss fights like the Leviathan in R2 and it was way too easy. I thought that not having regenerating health would make the game a tad more difficult than usual shooters but enemies drop health packs every few seconds so you're never really in danger. As for the ending itself, it felt like such a cop out, it didn't even feel like  a proper closing to the story, it just ends and thats it trilogy over, no sign of a sequel coming either which I guess is a good thing.

After playing the beta throughout all of august and finally finishing the game in pretty much one day I don't think R3 is really that good. I've only seen two maps and two modes and a few weapons in the beta, but it wasn't any good. I know they're going to be more modes and more maps to explore so maybe it'll be a better experience when the servers open up and the full online is available to play. I'm not going to hold my breath though, I'll just go get Dead Island and hopefully enjoy that instead. 

Okay i don't care that people don't like a certain game everyone has an opinion thats fine, but when you just making things up to discredit a game and discourage sales you need to be called on it. I have checked everything from meta critic to game review sites facebook twitter topics and you tube reviews oddly enough almost everyone across the board loved this game not one of these sources mentioned a 5 hr length and there is absolutely huge boss fights so im just assuming you played it on the weakest settings so you could get thru faster and have random blackouts which would explain the so called lack of epic boss fights. There is no way a game would be getting these type of unanimous 8.5-9.5 scores if the length and quality of the game is as bad as you claim it is.

Yeah its the other way around for me too.

Your right im sorry im gonna go play it and im sure when i get around to it later this week you will be absolutely right and all the people that are talking the game up just want to make you look like bad because clearly going in you had no bias against this game. Where as everyone else who have played and reviewed the game are lieing about the length and boss fights. BTW what difficulty did you beat it on you seem to keep overlooking that question despite the fact that multiple people have asked that.

couldn't agree more  I don't like to rush never know what you will miss . 

if I'm correct aren't most review  debug copies so they can move from chapter to chapter use infinite lives  etc.play all the mp modes a few minutes each but still give an overall impression of the game , rather than immersing ones self in the game and then getting online to enjoy the action, half my friends list is from R2's 8 player online co-op and playing R3 right now it's the  thing i miss  , by the way what do you guys think of the art direction.

about the g4 review..morgan webb did it..she is an idiot and biased as hell against sony..I remember she saying something utterly retarded about the psv during E3 as well but luckily the other two guys she was with shut her dumb ass down


you should've seen her and the rest of the staff when the Sony suffered the whole hack situation; eveything they talked about that was related to the PS3 was followed with some whitty identity theft joke, or when the were talking about something bad or sub-par onthe 360 was followed with "It's better than having your identity stolen!"

I didn't watch X-play/AOTS for nearly that entire month.

yeah sadly I think I got a glimpse of those things too...did you see her trying to take a shot at psv during E3? one annoying bitch...not that good looking either so it's no way forgivable :P


if I did I don't remember, what did she say?

and yeah she not all that hot either!(though if it was sara underwood...I might've forgaven here :p)


something like there's nothing new about psv and that it's the psp all over again or some dumb crap.... >_> thankfully the other two guys who were with her shut her up

Yeah its the other way around for me too.

Its gone both ways for me although I usually end up playing longer than what the reviews say. In some games, and I think R3 is one of them, the timer actually stops whenever the player dies and restarts a checkpoint. So if a player is playing for 10-15 minutes and then dies, those 10-15 minutes will not be counted on the stats page. That might have been what happened with the OP in this case.

how disappointing :/ i was hoping r3 would be better than how you describe it

Thechalkblock# It's one persons opinion. For me this is the best Resistance and it really is awesome!!!
