I think the sp in Resistance 2 is really good, but not great. It provides a lot of additional information and really seems to setup some great story lines for Resistance 3. I agree with Kyliedog about the regenerative health and lack of weapon wheel. Those were my only disappointments with the game. I know these are de facto standards for fps's, but Insomniac created some great weapons, I just want to carry them all. As mentioned previously, R2 has a great online coop. Both it and L4D were my favorite online games last year. By the way, I just picked up Resistance Retribution. Can't wait to play it. |
I am glad the thread turned out well this week.
The impression I get from Resistance 2, is that it was BADLY outsold by Gears 2 (over the holiday season), and you have individuals (fans) in the Sony camp try to rationalize it not selling as well, during the holiday season. So, it is fault finding to death, because R2 seemed to not turn out to be a killer app that could turn the sales numbers. In watching what I saw regarding the documentary they included, was that the creators of R2 listened to fans of the series, who told them to make changes. And the likely did. So the weapon system was changed, along with the health. end result, there are complaints now.
It seems like a good FPS to me. Maybe it doesn't change the world, but at least it executes properly. It looks good and so on.
As of now, I will look to get back to it when I finish Killzone 2. Yes, I picked it up. It is a great game. I will likely post comments on it when finished.
