The gameplay of Resistance 2 was second to no shooter on any platform this year and that is all that matters to me.

The graphics were good, but the gameplay was outstanding.

 

So you guys want to tell me it had better graphics/gameplay then Bioshock(which released just a few months ago on PS3 so it counts), better gameplay then Left4Dead better graphics and gameplay then Gears of war 2 etcetera?

 

I see that despite the total failure both critically as well as saleswise(as well as the graphics) of Resistance 2 does not deter some of you to spout the same crap three months on.

In my opinion, yes the gameplay was better than Bioshock's.

Once again, in my opinion yes, the gameplay of R2 is better.

Gears 2 is too boring, so R2 trounces it for me.

Oh what's that, I'm not aloud to hold or discuss my opinion?

I'm surprised this title doesn't go to gears2

 Sure you do, as long as it does not clash with mine.

Here is a little secret: It does.

Resistance 2 is better than what? Bioshock?

Hell mf'n naw!

It's also significantly worse than Gears 2 in the single player arena.

Resistance 2 doesn't have a "good" single player campaign. In this day and age, that's very important, as it should be.

I was talking about Resistance 2 and Gears of War 2. Come on, it's all opinion. Not like I ever said Gears 2 is a bad game, in fact, it's hella fun and great stuff, but just a little too similar to the previous installment for my taste, while I think Resistance 2 improved upon almost everything.

Also, I even said in a later post that Bioshock is the best shooter on any console, and it's my personal favorite shooter of all time. Yay for opinions!

 


R2 is the worst high profile fps in recent years , in terms of gameplay. A fps that relies more on instant-kill moments than most platformers did in the early nineties .

Gears of War 2 and Far Cry 2 are far superior looking than Resistance 2 in terms of graphics.



Forget all the stupid 360 troll bots bashing anything PS related in the last twenty pages, this game is fucking art. The campaign is golden, and thousands times better than the first. For example, holy crap Nathan Hale learned how to talk, and he's bad ass. Theres a huge amount of varying enemies, from the savage grimms running suicidal towards you, to the immense ravagers that pave through the battlefield. Incredible selection of weapons, having varying amounts of rampant arsenal with awesome roots from ratchet and clank. Not only that but every weapon has a secondary function like explosive rounds of the magnum or double barrel shotgun fire. Im talking about weapons that owns anything you shoot at, next to it, and behind it.

Another thing, the freaking enviroments are so detailed and colorful, its like a paint truck got in a multi car pile up with a traveling circus. The stuff you see while walking through the enviroments, so deftly grim, abnormal, disgusting, graphic, horrid scenes, an alternate 1950's america on the brink of extinction. Not only the music, but the sound effects add to the touch of making such believable enviroments; your footsteps makes different noises wether your stepping on flesh or grass or rocks or corpses, its always different and distinct.
There's also the rampant chatter on the radio of the host going mad with the invasion, the dialogue of the in game charecters, from the snarls of the chimera, to the screams of your comrades ghastly yelling for a medic.

This game has so much to offer, what i mentioned above was my personal experience of first player campaign, i have yet to try it with a friend. For all the troll bots out there, quit putting down fantastic masterpieces. Go now my fellow PS haters, go play your so called exclusive games on xbl to make yourselfs feel better.



Resistance is hideous. And here I was thinking that jaggies were a thing of the past.
It also had some of the most boring art direction ever.

Leviaton was impressive though...

I don't even like the first Resistance, but the sequel is pretty damn amazing. Gears 2, on the other hand, is more or less the same thing as the previous. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but it's ridiculous that people think the game deserves GOTY honors when it's not too much of a different game than the last. Also, Gears 2 having better graphics than R2 doesn't mean a damn thing when it really is the same graphics as Gears 1 plus a few touches, which is why it's not winning too many "Best Graphics" awards this year. Resistance 2 just improved upon everything.

I own both, by the way.



yeah right ... rofl

 

Dude he has a gamertag.. and a psn id, go ahead and check..

 

I know he does but if he thinks Gears2 looks like the first one and R2 is so much better and different from the first there must be something seriously wrong with his eyes, his TV, his mental capabilities or any combination of the aforementioned three.

 

 

I think there is something wrong with YOUR eyes. He clearly said that he didn't care about graphics, and that Resistance 2 was the better game overall. He never said it had better graphics...

*Cough* CoD4 *Cough*

I do agree with you on the awesomeness of BioShock, though. But BioShock was released in 2007, it can't win Best Shooter two years in a row, now can it?
