Different strokes for different folks. Move is fun but the motions can be a little tiring. The first time Im playing a game I like to be able to sit down and fully immerse myself without my arms getting tired. KZ3 was fine with Move, but once again I used it after I had already beaten the game with a DS3.

Even after that mega patch I still had two bugs in the campaign requiring restarts last night. :|

Bummed at the huge patch, but 30 mins later I was drawn into this game HARD. So much improved from R2, Im glad I didnt overlook this one just based on that. Immersive for sure, Im only up to about Chapter 7 but next time I get like a good 5 hour chunk to play through this, I dont think Ill stop.
Tried it with Move for about 10 mins, hated it, but I should've known better.

Anyone know if the MP is region locked? Someone with an early Japanese copy is saying he can only connect with Japanese players. jstevenson, can you comment on this if you see it please? Will be mightily disappointed if this is the case.

I don't think I've played with an Australian all night :/ game is laggy as fuck and filled with euros, japanese and who knows who else. Not exactly ideal conditions for what I'm guessing is p2p. What happened to dedicated servers??
Also, the massive patch (which took forever) followed by non optional install followed by quit to store to enter a bloody key does not leave a great first impression. Neither did the glitched ai in single player causing me to restart the area and the several system freezes in mp.

God fucking damn, the
has to be one of the most fucking OP weapons I ever had the joy of using, it's straight up R&C broken.

If Resistance 3 was an entrant in the Tour De France it would be suspected of doping. So good. So very good. The visuals are amazing and the sound is equally as good. I really hope IG have learnt how good they are now. This is what 3 years does to a game.
I'm stopping at Chapter 10. I only bought the game today and I don't want to rush through it.
10 out of 10.

How about a R&C game with 3 years of polish.

Loved the 1st game, hated the sequel...
And I must say; I am very impressed by Resistance3. It's much better than I expected it to be, both gameplay-wise & graphically (and the story/ambiance etc.). It definitely feels like it's the proper second game. I was expecting R2 all over again but this is an incredible surprise.
Insomniac, thank you. You guys have done an amazing job.

What a great game so far! Played up the the point where you meet
I'm playing on Hard. And no life regen really keeps me on my toes. Can't just absorb damage like a sponge like most other games these days. Really brings back a tension to FPS games that I haven't felt in a while.

The SP is so good, but the MP is driving me nuts. The lag is so bad that it will look like my screen has frozen for a second or 2, and then by the time it fixes itself I am always dead. I really hope they can fix it soon because it is really turing me off from playing MP.

Man, I really want to love the MP in this game but the lag (or framerate drops, not sure which) is killing it for me. I'll get in a nice groove, play a game or two, and then have some situation pop up where I feel like I have no control over where I'm aiming. I'm not sure what it is but something just isn't as smooth as it should be. I don't think it's my connection because I don't ever lag in other games and my connection isn't too slow.
For me the lag problems really become most apparent when using the Marksman. It's a weapon that requires precise aiming for extended periods of time and I feel completely worthless when I'm using it. It's the exact opposite from SP, where I feel like the Marksman is a fantastic weapon. I know there's some aim assist in SP that makes it feel better but it's definitely more than that, the aiming in MP just feels choppy.
I also feel like Prison is just too small for 16 players. I had that map pop up last night and there was just too much going on for my taste. It was pure chaos.
Other than that I've actually enjoyed the MP more than I thought I would, and I feel like I'm improving quite a bit as well.

I was playing MP last night there was some dude with a kind of perk that disguised him as a player of the opposite team, anyone know what that is?

Sadly, the review scores, and sales, possibly, don't seem to reflect this perceived increase in quality. They should have made a game like this first, instead of five years later. Now it's kinda too late to reap the benefits of increased quality and longer dev cycle :\T-0800 said:

I'll be honest, I'm a little worried that when the dust settles and most players are at a high level there are going to be some truly obnoxious play-styles at the forefront of R3 MP. There are so many crazy abilities and upgrades in this game that I just can't imagine them being well balanced for online MP. I could be wrong, of course, but Call of Duty has had 4 entries on the PS3 since it started the perks and leveling system and they still haven't gotten it right. I'm just afraid that Insomniac's focus on fun might distract them from creating a balanced MP experience. And let me tell you, when unbalanced weapons or abilities are discovered and abused in an online game they can quickly turn any game from fun to frustrating overnight.
I know, I know, I have no faith. Like I said, hopefully I'm wrong. I'm just worried because my initial impression is that there is just too much going on here for it to be balanced properly for the long run.

Yeah but the issue is whether or not all of the counters are balanced. It's a lot tougher than it looks on paper and only time will really tell if they got it right.Loudninja said:
I hated Resistance 2 to the point of openly laughing at it when anyone brought it up as being a competitive shooter, but decided to give R3 a try as I posted earlier in the thread.
It really is a good game. The campaign is fun, and has a lot of CoD-meets-Half Life 2 elements in it. The multiplayer works well, and is actually something I will play instead of laugh at like the last Resistance title.
Good job, Insomniac. Much to Sony fanboy consternation, I usually end up tearing PS3 games to shreds because they are either inferior ports or put out by barely competent Sony exclusive developers, but Resistance 3 is legit. Anyone who buys this game isn't going to regret it.

Is there indeed a hardcore mode? And if so, what does it include/exclude from regular MP?

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
The auger (I think that's what it's called) effect when you slowly spot enemies through the walls is really beautiful in 3D. I never thought I'd use 3D on my tv, now I'm kind of a believer.
Glad to see the game has won you over... at least to a degree.Cheech said:
R2 was never a competent shooter or MP game. I tried so hard to like the soul-crushingly numb multiplayer, but it never got to me and the water-dripping slow XP gains became torture.
My R3 is still god-knows-where. game.net and their stupid site cannot even tell me whether they have shipped the game yet. I hate them so much right now.

Hahah, I would love to bite, but I don't want to derail. Just think of all the long delayed Sony exclusive games this gen that ended up being mediocre at best, and you'll have your answers.
Also, I want to add a gigantic THANK YOU to Insomniac for putting in split screen multiplayer/co-op/campaign. So many devs forget that people still really enjoy playing games with friends and family together on the same couch. That feature alone means keeping a game for me vs. trading it in after a few weeks.
