You know sales are bad when they start getting compared to other things with hugely varying factors.

Something sells faster when there's more people to buy it. Well blow me down.

R2 was the biggest let down of the year. And i agree with what Squilliam said for the most part about gameplay and the likes. I have no comment about the sales. You die so many times in R2 from retarded nonsense it boggles the mind, add in a multiplayer its lacking a retarded amount of features that made RFoM so great.

The only good thing about R2 would be the co-op.

Why the hell they removed on-hit kills from the online options boggles my mind. What would compel you to take away one of the most popular online options?

Anyways, I was disappointed with this game. Most of the combat seemed to scripted and forced you to play things one way. On top of that the hyped up boss battles were a joke.

I actually agree. I enjoyed the sp of R:FOM far more than R2's one. R2 is a good game nonetheless, the online compensates alot.

I have a feeling they didn't have enough time to finish the game (about 1 year isn't alot), and they probably spent most of that time working on the online mode.

The second game doesnt seem to be a considerable improvement, except in graphics....so....and the sales are fine, so squill, huh?



I hope my 360 doesn't RRoD

I've got resistance FOM as one of my first ps3 games and finished it a couple of times then I bought Resistance 2 and I enjoyed it more than the first one as it's got better graphics, improved online (60players and 8player co-op) and find the campaign better so maybe it's just a matter of opinion as all ppl does not have the same likes but if your saying that Resistance 2 is bad by basing it on it's sales thats just laughable.

I can't even believe someone can make a thread like this. Please don't try to equate sales with quality. Either this is a joke or everyone who has read this thread has lost 20 IQ points. From every news indication, R2 was better.

 

Agreed, and I tried to say it from the start that sales do not equal game quality, ever.

Besides that, Resistance 1 was a launch title and the only quality game at the time for PS3.

its selling after than the first one.

and left 4 dead its selling about the same in a system that have a "8 million" lead.

Yea but R2 had huge hype where as L4D did not and R2 was gonna save the PS3...Awww...

 

 

save it like from what?

Third place.  That is what the talk is about now.  When you were top dog, and you end up dropping behind two competitors, then people talk about saving a console.

R1 > R2 for this reasons only: R1 had 2 player co-op story mode. Nathan Hale and a black guy.

And he was the only black guy that wore modern army uniform which didnt quite belong in that time. Like Insomniac purposely made sure he didnt blend in lol. I named him Tyrone =P

yes but the ps3 is not in a bad position is not selling as great as the others consoles but is selling good so i dont think that right now the ps3 needs salvation. i think that it was about time that sony didnt end up first.
