Your judgments of Resistance 1 are a bit harsh for someone who never really liked console FPSs to begin with. Many wanted this game to be oh so amazing when it simply was a quick launch title. Insomniac did this game in a year's time span. They were still learning the PS3 architecture.
The Story: was good, nothing amazing but good. It was told in a narrative which I did not particularily like. I would have rathered Hale talk. I did like the way the story was also partially told through scrap paper from a soldier's journal. It was conveying the brutality and the fear the world had for the chimera.
The Gameplay: was AWSOME! I have never had an issue with stupid AI such as them standing in one spot. When they have taken a few bullets they usually retreat behind cover(very often mind you it was kind of annoying). They also usually come in huge droves that overpower you so they never need to hide. I felt the AI was fairly equal with most FPS games. I feel you might have been embelishing a little on how awful the AI is. The weapons were also a great feature. So what if you only end up using about 2 weapons most of the time. You only can fire one weapon at a time anyway, Carbine/BullsEye is all you would need or want. And I am no FPS expert but headshots are pretty much meaningless to most chimera as it does not effect them any differently in the campaign.
Visual/Presentation:Nothing spectacular. THe games environments were diverse. You had the Subway, the church, city streets, an abandoned factory, sewers, etc. THese locales differ enough to keep the game lively. Very Linear is true. But so are most FPS's. You may think the same of all FPS but you are bashing only Resistance for it here. FPS are linear genre. If it were more open it would become sandbox or RPG.
overall i give...
the game a 9.1 for being a very good release title. It was fun to play with an exspansive multiplayer. Story was good enough to capture my attention and I dont really like FPSs either. Unique locations that bring the threat of the Chimera to life.
I give this thread a 8.4 for giving valid points about the game yet some of them were harsh on R1 when all other shooters do the same thing. Also it was a bit of nit picking about weapons and levels brought your score far too low to be seen as legit.
