What's that? Just the multiplayer mode?

I'm also curious. I mean, I saw it right there under one of the menu options, but just didn't click on it. Guess it won't be too tough to figure out if we don't get a response in the next few minutes.

 

[Loudninja]

that's specifically for players in the Middle East reporting problems connecting to games.

Yep, lots of random issues.

 

[Himself]

For the record this is only the third game this gen. I restarted the same day I finished it, along with Vanquish and Demon's Souls. Good company to be in right there.

You have great taste. I may actually open my copy of Demon's Souls if more Vanquish fans recommend it.

It's a mix of

1) a more active version of Farmville/Cityville
2) Risk board game
3) Paper-Rock Scissors gameplay

I looked into it because playing it will let you unlock some extra stuff in R3 like art galleries and cheats, but now I'm hooked on it - this is the best facebook game I've played.

Cloaked Snipers and Wildfire Hybrids everywhere. Those were definitely the hardest parts of the game.

 

[Himself]

Jesus there are some tough battles in New York

Yeah, but they are so good. It was a good chance to really put the full arsenal to use.

 

[lowrider007]

10 more hours until I finally get my hands on this game, won't be able to play it until I finish work though :-(, I want this game to be better than RFoM but we'll have to see, I'm intrigued as to what my own feelings will be after I finish it, based off of peoples impressions on here I just can't predict what they'll be.

 

[Allonym]

I swear that Haven and St.Louis are shooter nirvana lol so great its like the Corinth River in KZ2!

 

[Grisby]

Jesus there are some tough battles in New York

Sometimes its just better to run. There are some uneven spots there.

 

[dralla]

If you're having trouble in certain spots, remember you can use the auger to see someone through a wall, than use the Proton shot of the Deadeye to take him out, the reticle stays in the same spot when you switch weapons

 

[Square Triangle]

Up to Chapter 8 with my buddy. Good God Insomniac this game is fantastic. Hands down the best Resistance.

 

[mclaren777]

I'm stuck in the VTOL level. I used the zipline, killed the enemies, and met the flight crew but I can't advance the story.

Edit: it just glitched

 

[Evolved1]

Hit a little difficulty spike in NY. Got killed twice... I think I'd only died once until that point (fighting a boss, because I didn't run to where I was "supposed to"). Just playing on normal though.

I remember R1 being a lot harder. This newest area is challenging... I can't tell if it's infinite spawning enemies or not. They are kicking my ass with the auger + sniper combo. I pop out I get sniped, take cover and they shoot me through it lol.

About to finish the game... but trying to tear myself away from Dead Island.

Anyway... I think the game was very good so far. Not a favorite, but it was enjoyable enough. I don't like the MP and the SP is pretty short, so kind of expensive. Probably should've waited for a price drop.

 

[njean777]

This lag is killing the online for me, I can barley play at all.

 

[Cudder]

Any reports of reduced lag in multi with the new patch?

Also, does doing a few levels in co-op on Superhuman cancel getting the trophy?

Kind of a spoiler. Great moment with

[Reckoner]

it's incredible how games evolved this generation. initially, they were like ps2 games in a literal way made in HD with better graphics, now they are really new, completely structured cinematic experiences with awesome visuals and some scripted stuff that makes everything look so believable and beautiful.

the games that made me realize the evolution were, undoubtedly, infamous 2, uncharted 2 and resistance 3 which is the more flagrant example, comparing to the first one.

I thought that was very good. Definitely one of the story highlights.

 

[ShogunX]

There is no way Insomniac play tested the Capture the Flag mode properly because the mode is borderline broken. Not only does it take too long to pick up the enemy flag leaving you vulnerable but the spawn system is flat out broken.

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

On Chapter 12 in the campaign and I've played some more MP tonight. The MP is starting to grow on me and I'm really starting to understand the appeal. The campaign is just... FPS perfection in so many ways.

The only thing I can really think about right now is how criminally underrated this game is by critics. It's a shame that it's flying under the radar so much, it really is something special.

Same here. It's honestly a benchmark for FPS design. It combines the best parts of old school design with modern FPS design mixed with some incredible atmosphere. It's really sad that I'm the only person on my friend list that's playing this.

. Just amazing. From Chapters 12 to now has just been amazing, and some of the best stuff I've played this year, I kid you not. It does seem this game has been a bit underrated by the gaming press. Best Resistance game I've played, and in my opinion, one of the better FPS games of the current generation. And the lighting, just gorgeous. Plus, thus far, the story has been fantastic.

IG, you guys rock. You knocked it out of the park. I'm saving the last few chapters for Saturday evening. Really hoping it ends strong.

stuff. I agree about the last weapon but around the time I got it I started getting the some of the guns to level 3 which breathes a lot of new life into the gunplay. Honestly, I've just been wanting a game to have a tone like this for a long time and Insomniac has executed that aspect perfectly.

I gotta disagree. Just finished. The first half of this game is great but the latter half was only average both in looks and enemy encounters. To me, this is a good game and the best Resistance game but the latter half made me glad this was a rental.

I'll do a more in depth review later. Trying to get into the MP now but am getting hit by lag which oddly enough, wasn't there last night before this 'lag' patch.

Quick note, really glad they changed Capelli. So much better then Hale, jesus.

That's true... weapon upgrades was a lot of fun. I'm kind of disappointed I didn't realize it actually changed the appearance. I lvl'd the Bullseye and a couple others so quick I didn't get to appreciate the different gun models.

How are you playing MP on a rental?

 

[RoboPlato]

The Bullseye and Magnum don't change much visually. I think the Bullseye actually just gets darker in color. It changes the least of all of them.

Was the first person at BB to rent it.

 

[Evolved1]

Probably why I never noticed. I didn't actually noticed until the magnum, because it morphed in my hands during a reload, and then also the sniper rifle... that's a pretty dramatic change when it hits lvl 2.

 

[U2NUMB]

I am very worried about the sales of R3.. just based on the fact that I only have a hand full of kills and where I am on the leaderboards

Sure hope word of mouth spreads.

 

[RoboPlato]

The Marksman pretty much doubles in size when it hits level 3. It looks so badass.

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

FPS perfection may have been a little much, I admit.

I think I'm just so used to cookie cutter FPS's that focus almost purely on the "cinematic experience" that I feel like I'm in gaming heaven when I find one that actually focuses on making the game fun. The best part is R3 seems to nail the cinematic aspect as well.

I just love the games IG makes, to be honest. I thought A Crack in Time was phenomenal as well.

[Ashes]

That's the theme I'm noticing. Completetion times under 7, sometimes even claiming six hours, are rating it a poor game, overall.

R3 is not a poor game. I didn't say that at all. I might buy it when the price hits about 30 or so. R3 just isn' top tier to me but its a decent FPS exclusive.

Dude it usually takes me forever to finish games because I'm a completionist who checks every corner and likes to take in the atmosphere... but R3 has a balls to the wall pace that just propels you, literally sprinting, forward. So I'm probably going to clock in around 7 hrs which is pretty crazy. It's a short game. I don't really hold it against it though; any longer and I would call them on filler-tactics.

Poor choice of words on my behalf; I was thinking of somebody else. The general drift of the people who didn't rate it as highly as others are finishing under 7 hours...

Edit: It is I should add a perfectly legitimate opinion, If you thought I was criticising you.
