I haven't played the first two Resistances, will I miss out if I start out with this one?
enabling the enemies using secondary fire and using power weapons is a great "cheat", going to play through Super Human with those on. Also being able to use all the weapons from the start is great and was a big omission in R1, they even give you ammo that shouldn't be there. So there will be mutator ammo in the first level and so on.

Let me get this straight... I can't pause cutscenes anymore since I've beaten it? Instead, pressing start skips the cutscene? Not fair.

Can you use them in difficulties you haven't beat yet? Like, say, superhuman and still get the trophy?dralla said:
Nevermind. You can't.

holy shit, super weapons and secondary fire cheats on SH is crazy. long legs flying around with Marksmen, throwing out turrets, Auger bullets flying everywhere. i had to turn it off :[ I left secondary fire on though. the upside to super weapons is that you can pick them up even though you haven't 'unlocked' them in the story. but yea, really really tough on SH. might be better to turn them both on, on Hard

Hate to admit I never did play any other Resistance games before the 3rd, think it was because I was on xbox then... Until being banned.
Anyways R3 campaign is one of the best I've played so far, looks great and And really feels sometimes like I'm in this crazy world fighting to stay alive. I work crazy hours so I don't get to play alot at one time, when i do I want more n more everytime.
I play FPS online type games usually, CoD n what not,,Battle Field 3 Soon! The multiplayer is actually pretty fun on R3, a little change of pace from same old CoD. Really sucks that you have to have a specific psn friend to play co op. But a good buy n great experience so far.

Multiplayer makes me want to vomit. I can't stand this kind of bullshit. I've got people transforming, shields, glowing with power, hula hoops, restricted weapon loadouts... Fucking christ. All this and I'm being stuck with the "hi, welcome to resistance online. You're too stupid too figure things out so here's the absolute, fuck you over, basic" loadout to help get me accustomed.
Too bad no one was playing hardcore mode when I tried. Shit online is SHIT!
Love the SP though.

the boat sequence was intense on SH. at one point there were 5 long legs all on the same roof, which just happen to have blast root on it. I shot the Rossmore fire grenade, all 5 on fire than the blast root explodes and sends their fiery bodies 20 feet in the air. Just finished up the second area and it was pretty great on SH too. i only worry about parts near the end.
i disliked killzone and killzone 2, resistance and resistance 2, yet enjoyed Killzone 3 and Resistance 3's campaigns so far. I had to turn Resistance 3 on casual difficulty once i got to the heavy Grim level, i just kept dying on normal. It's been a fun ride, i'd say some of it was a little weak though and i always hate running around in caves, but overall the environments have kept my attention. Solid effort this time around.

The multiplayer is such a disappointment. It feels like such little thought went into it. Maps are okay, but everything else, including lag, is a nightmare.

"It's looking like Resistance 3 patch 1.03 will still be in Sony testing until tomorrow. We'll update you as we know more." (4 hours ago from IG FB)
It can't be as bad as Resistance 2 on Superhuman, especially considering that Normal in R3 is easier than Casual in R2. R2 Superhuman was one of the worst things I've ever done in my gaming career. Painful all the way through.Achtius said:Superhuman is too hard. I am giving up
Dat Auger fire.
I made the mistake of trying to play online after working for 12 hours today and being so sore I can barely stand. Got destroyed. Also, is there a place for reporting glitches? On some maps, and only when I'm on the Chimeran team, it doesn't allow me to use the bubble shield. Needless to say, this is driving me nuts and has resulted in a lot of unnecessary deaths. Unequipping it and putting it back on does nothing. It's only the bubble shield and it's been going on for a few days now.
They patched it but, yeah you could. I did not learn this until after I played through the whole thing. I was also one of the first people on GAF to do it (about 5 days after launch) so no one else had good strategies to share. OMGWTFBBQ is the pride of my trophy collection but everyone just assumes I cheated to get itAchtius said:

I finished the game today and I'm going to write up a quick review. This is coming from someone who considers R:fom to be the greatest game ever made and R2 to be worse than a pile of dog shit.
I don't feel like writing a huge review but let me tell you this. If you are reading this and haven't bought/rented the game because of R2 then go do yourself a favor and get this game. I loved all the different locations the game took me and the distinct environment of each one. The chimera in this game look/act much better than R2. I swear in R2 they just stood there like fucking dumbasses some times. And the titans/ravengers in R2, oh geez what horse shit. Again the ravengers are much better in this game. You know what, I'm not going to list every thing that is better in this game over R2 because frankly it's everything.
Oh and this is ALL based on single player. I left mulitplayer out because I hated the beta. It's just another cod-type killstreak, iron sights, perks piece of shit. I wanted the old run and gun, fast paced, target bomb, gun spawn, air vent multiplayer from R:fom but I didn't get it.
All in all this game is great and at least deserves a rental.

Don't give up!
There are a few tricks to really playing through Superhuman effectively. What area are you at? I can give some pretty good pointers
I've played through Superhuman twice now (before release up to NY, then again after launch to complete everything). Any problems in particular? Also, the best weapon to use for most normal encounters is the bullseye, as it's ammo is plentiful, and will allow you to use the exotic weapons in times of need.

I did
the first few chapter and stopped at in PY (the Satan place), didn't feel like fighting grims at night, so I skip to NY. I am at the Washington Base, and just getting raped left and right. I even had trouble in normal difficulty fighting the 3 stalkers in NY
Also do they make it harder for co-op?
I was a moderate fan of Resistance: FOM; didn't play Resistance 2. I just got to Chapter 11 of Resistance 3, and am having a pretty good time. The encounters are well-designed and quite enjoyable and varied so far.
I am surprised at how unrefined the game feels at times, though. For a game that was in development for 3 years from a high-profile developer, there have been many things that are just sloppy.
Early on, there's a moment where a soldier
so the impact of that scene was ruined. There are also jarring, awkward camera moves leading up to many of the scripted sequences that make the storytelling feel clunky and amateurish.
I've experienced multiple instances where a chimera has not "triggered", so he'll just stand there while I shoot him. There's also an odd split-second delay between firing and enemy reaction whenever I use the shotgun.
Finally - who approved that ladder-climbing animation? Lord, it's terrible.

gets his head ripped off by a Chimera - unfortunately, leading up to that moment the solider was just a floating head and gun with no body,

I recieved my copy today, and oh my...my, my, my.
Me thinks i'm in love. I'm really diggin it alot.
So far, perfect, and now classed as my fav shooter.
I never really got into R1/2, but the inclusion of 3D turned me head and thought i'd get it for me ever growing 3D collection.
Now i'm really glad i've bought it. The Atmosphere is perfect and the Graphics are awesome.
IF there's any boody out there complaining about the graphics, better upgrade their Sd Tv or check their connections or something. There not Killzone 2/3 graphics but regardless, it looks awesome and suited for the theme.
I had to ring up a mate to start raving about it. I even had that excitement shakes while talking about it (he's gunna get it now,lol).
Even though i bought this for 3D, i'm glad it's a title i'll be playing alot,lol
I've mainly played it in only 2D so (charging glasses,lol) i tried alittle 3D before the cutout and it looked wicked BUT the crosshairs looked weird though, like outta place. I'll have to get used to it.
But i was running around drilling them and one popped up at the screen and scared the shit outta me,lol, i'm glad i'm charging them up to play it late tonight in 3D, no really..
I'm gunna be sooo immersed into Resistance 3 tonight
nappies..*check

Ran into a game-breaking bug where it would freeze on the skull loading icon before the main menu. Tried to delete the R3 game data off my HDD, but it froze. I restarted the system, it now shows as corrupt data.
Launched the game, re-installed, and re-downloaded the patches.
This curious hassle never happened to me in any other game.

Had the same thing when the trophies were registering. Pretty annoying to wait through that (as if install time isn't annoying enough), but well worth the wait for the game that followed.

Questions,
I started playing SP on my slim PS3 on a different TV and copied my save file to a thumb drive thencopied it back onto my fatty PS3 and tried to continue the save file, but it would not recognize the file and allow me to continue, WTF? why do I have to start all over again, even though the save file is on the system now?

On my second playthrough on superhuman. I'll admit the final level looked great. The ending was underwhelming, though.
I'm having so much fun with the mp. Just staying alive and picking up weapons that foes drop is a Killstreak in itself. The only thing I would've changed is that the weapons upgraded in rounds instead of persistant upgrades you buy, like first upgrade at 4 kills and the second at 10 or something like that.
Regardless it's been a long time that I had so much fun playing an online shooter. The weapons really make the game and it's so satisfying tagging an enemy with the bullseye. The maps are also great and I really don't have the lag or framerate problems some people are experiencing. The killstreaks themselves are fine too imo, nothing like dashing by a shielded enemy and killing him from behind. I'm rank 28 now and I hope it will have a lasting community by the time the other big shooters are out.

Don't get me wrong, I love the MP, but he shields are really starting to piss me off. I tagged so many guys with shields in the back last night, then they turn around and the tag no longer works because the bullets try to go straight through the guy to his back instead of around him.... kinda lame, I died a bunch of time last night when flanking guys because of that.
