Resistance 3 |OT| You ARE the Resistance

I'm still early in the game. Chapter 6 or 7 or so.
Game has been totally crazy so far.
At the cost of resolution Resistance 3 got all the grit, effects and punch it can muster.
Some scenes that blew me away:
Resistance 3 has a denser amount of graphics effect than practically any other game I've seen this gen. Shadows everywhere, everything moving, brilliant lighting and debris in the air...etc.
It isn't magic considering the subpar resolution but damn, excellent handywork still.
In favor of saving the doctor I agree to retrieve batteries from a dropship.

Farm house blowing away straight in front of my face. The splinter details were absolutely crazy.
The Atomizer inside the infected factory... best lighting ever!
The general gore when shooting zombies is superb.

I was able to complete the game on Difficult last night.
I played the whole single player with the Move, and I had a blast. Insomniac did a really great job with the Move implementation. Though, there were times when the Move crosshair would be on the screen when a real time cutscene was playing. It also works really well in the multiplayer part of the game as well. Which I must say is just so awesome. I played a handful of rounds when I completed the game, and I love the new maps. I only played Deathmatch, and I will check out the gametypes soon enough. Compared to the Beta, I love it much more. I guess cause I was playing with the Dualshock 3 during the Beta, and now I'm using the Move. I'm thinking it makes a big difference in the feel of the game, in my opinion. So, that's pretty much it for my impressions. Gonna play the game again sometime soon on Superhuman and I'm going to try to get the rest of the trophies. As of now, though, I'm going to keep playing the awesome multiplayer.
Overall I liked Resistance 3. The game had a lot of great moments, the train level being one of them. I loved seeing the Widowmakers just go after those former prisoners in those jeeps. I didn't expect the death of Malikov from the former prisoners at all after the train crashed from a Widowmaker. It was cool to go the rest of the way in the game alone, though, besides being helped by that one guy in the prison that is. When I got to New York, I was in love. The snow is great, and I just loved the atmosphere. Granted, I loved the look of Oklahoma, and Pennsylvania at night, but I'm a sucker for snow levels. It got even better when I got to get into the terraformer, and I was like OMG when it all started falling apart. The ending unfortunately was dull. I wanted something that would be memorable, but all we got was Capelli getting off of the plane and kissing his wife and hugging his child. It just could have been better, in my opinion.

I'm about half way through the game I guess, on Difficult. Been pretty easy so far, though I like the health system; there's times when you know you have to be right on your game to get through certainly but most of the time health packs are plentiful.
The
mission went on a bit long considering it basically the same thing over and over but until then I was thoroughly enjoying it and from reading the thread it gets even better. LOVE having the weapon wheel back, makes the game always feel fresh, apart from the mission I mentioned.

Just finished on Normal. Is there really nothing after the credits? Really? The ending was pretty underwhelming. Other than that I thought it was great. I would have liked more insight into what the hell the Chimera are doing and their origins, but I liked what is there.
I'm starting to think that the lag and stutter is party related.
I've been playing all day in a party and it was fairly unplayable most of the time, but tonight I've been going in lone wolf and there is no lag whatsoever :\
When Resistance 3 is lag-free it is easily the best first person shooter on consoles.

the ending seemed like a resource issue, it could've/should've been more, but there's enough closure for me.ToyMachine228 said:
They closed this Chapter almost completely but by reading some of the journals and the scientific theories, Insomniac left room for Resistance in the future.

I'm sorry but coming home and hugging your family after blowing up a building isn't really a satisfying ending. There's absolutely no insight into what the Chimera were up to in NYC, what their grand plan is/was, where they came from, etc. There's not much at all. I loved the campaign, but throughout the entire series we're basically in the dark. There's a note about Hale's cryptic comments before death too that is never elaborated on. The "can you hear them?" thing.

Multiplayer in this is one of the worst things ever really isn't it?
Well that's harsh. It's more like a nice watch, which is covered in dog crap. And doesn't even work.
I liked the beta, quite a lot actually. But now so many people are playing it I can see it for the broken, intentionally (guerrilla games style) fucked up game it is.
Shotgun is hilarious. In a game where an assault rifle takes 15+ body shots, a rapid fire shotgun kills in 1, or 2-3 if further away.
CTF, is almost playable.
Great, classic game mode. CHECK
Decent/good maps. CHECK
Scope for tactics/teamwork. CHECK
Sounds very good right? Just needs a few well balanced guns and you've got a good game. Sounds almost like RFoM.
Oh, crap. Forgot everything else in Resistance 3 which is utterly worthless and complete and utter shit.
The worst thing though. Along with GG, it seems most devs are happy to sacrifice custom games, just to save a few hours. I love the shite they come up with. 'It was found the average player could not find a game with the settings he wanted.' Well there was fucking ranked games if you wanted to play a game full of shit. Now the only option is to play a game full of shit. So it's impossible for a sizeable amount of the actual resistance fanbase to find a game with the settings they want.
Taking stuff previous games had, out of the game is unforgivable. It's why I sold KZ3, and why I'll almost certainly sell this when BF3 comes around, if not before then.
Sorry if this annoys anyone who is enjoying the game. But wanted to let out what I think of the multiplayer in this game, and I can't on myresistance.net, because it's as broken as this game.

Nice random touch I noticed- if you walk up to an NPC and get in their face with your gun, they'll lean backwards uncomfortably, leaning more as you get closer

I haven't played the multiplayer yet but I really enjoyed the beta. I don't have hardly any friends who play games on PSN so unfortunately I probably won't be spending a lot of time with it.
I didn't want to have to come into this thread before beating the game, but can someone help me out here or let me know if they had a similar problem in what I think is still chapter 15 in
Is this a glitch? Should I start the segment over?

in the fight against the widowmaker and all the chimeran troops, i have unloaded my entire arsenal into the widowmaker's weak point (the red thing hanging from it's belly) multiple times now and nothing is happening. All the Chimeran troops are dead...it's just me, the widowmaker, and a dropship that is just floating in place in the arena

yeah i am playing it for the 6th time now and it happens every time. the recticle goes red but i don't get the "hit" recticle that shows any of the bullets are doing damage. they'll land for the first few moments of the fight, but then stop later on randomly. can't get past this part because of it...annoying
Slurmer, if I were you I'd go the main screen, go to load level, and then start up a level or two back. Something like this happened to me in Bulletstorm, and that's how I fixed it. Your game has checkpointed the bug, so make it checkpoint something fresher 5 minutes earlier.
The texture work in this game is crazy. I only had time to finish Chapter 4 before heading out, but all the areas I saw early on looked great. Sometimes I wish the games pace was slower so I could enjoy the environmental art some more. Early game atmosphere is great! Wasn't some reviewer complaining about the environments? That dude is smoking some serious weed unless the level of detail goes downhill for the rest of the game.
Controls are smooth. I don't play a lot of FPS on the dual shock because I really don't enjoy this controller with the genre, but I had no problems jumping into Resistance 3. In fact, I wish Insomniac would share this information with all other PS3 FPS developers on how to make a FPS play extremely well with the dual shock.
Weapon wheel at my disposal makes me feel good too. Nice surprise at the ability for weapons to upgrade through use. I had no idea this was even part of the game. I always enjoyed the weapon upgrades in Ratchet so I don't mind seeing this idea taken. Hopefully I can use these upgraded weapons in a New Game Plus type situation.
Thankfully R3 not go strictly to regenerating health, because this takes away some of the tension from firefights. I like the mix of having health packs with some regenerating health as it adds tension to the firefights. I do have a question about the health system. I remember the 4 bars from the first Resistance, but in R3 it is a circular bar structure. How does the regenerating health work? I'm guessing you only regenerate health outside of battle, and then it is a finite amount?

The multiplayer beta left a bad impression but the singleplayer is blowing my mind.
I've played for five hours or so and it's the best continuous fps stretch I've played this generation. It's absolutely amazing. I'm almost surprised it's Insomniac as they haven't really provided the edge that titles like Gears and Killzone have. R3 is running past these now, they're absolutely on top of it.

This exact problem was happening to me last night, and I think I know what the problem is.
Once you get the Widowmaker to the third stage of the fight, DO NOT kill all the ground troop Chimera. For some reason, when I did that the first time the game bugged and I couldn't kill the Widowmaker. The second time I tried the fight I left all the Chimeran troops alone in the third stage, and then I was able to kill the thing.
I hope this helps.

Never thought I would actually spend time grinding weapons in an FPS but, well, ah, there it is.
Amazing what effect a trophy can have.

Started playing this evening and I am nearing the end of Chapter 11. I am not exactly blown away by the game yet to be honest, in fact I am finding it a little disappointing and frustrating to play. The weapon leveling is a nice addition to an FPS which is cool, but what the fuckery fuck is the deal with health pickups? SIGH. I thought we were done with shit like that years ago, it's such an old and out of date way of doing health in a FPS. Not different, just fucking OLD. Also, the ladders, what happened there guys? 
Also technically I am surprised how... ordinary it looks. There is nothing in this game to stop it from being 60fps (which would be a lovely addition to making it feel snappy and less sleepy), it's not technically stunning like Vanquish or Kill Zone, it doesn't even look like its running at a particularly high res. Compare it to the studios other title and I can't help but feel a little let down by R3's visuals.
It's like other FPSs of the last few years didn't happen.

Game is sub-HD and probably one of the blurriest games I've played. You're right, Insomniac should have done better on a technical level. I actually think the game looks quite nice despite the resolution, thanks to the art, lighting and weather effects.

I need to get into some GAF games lol. Played a game earlier today. Felt bad we dominated them like 14000 to 5000.
