Low to mid 80s for R3 sounds about right. The game is giving off a "good but tarnished" vibe to me.

Some people are posting impressions in the r3 thread. Seem good to me. The previews have come in favourable as well.

But I don't know man. Hopefully it'll be good
 
Could someone refresh my 1up-yours-podcast-memory, as to what about the single player campaign Garnett took issue with?

Everything. He had a mid-life crisis over it. :p

<3 Garnett.
 
I recall Resistance 2 being equal parts better and worse than Resistance 1, which was just ok to begin with.

Will Gamefly part 3....
 
Resistance had the benefit of being a launch game, so it had few peers.

Resistance 2 was treated by reviewers like a AAA title, and thus most of its reviews reflect that, hence the inflated (9.5 from IGN) scores.

Resistance 3 does not have either of the above mentioned factors working in its favor.

I'm guessing mid-70s.

That assumes there have been no changes to the series or the games quality.

Congrats
 
So by IGN's standards, this is the worst game of the lot? :P

I kid! I kid!

edit: Niro be beating me. :/
Edit: And he be doing it with a troll face. :(

:P
 
Good to read that R3 has a strong and satisfying narrative... definitely one of my problems from R2 was the lack of one. So hyped! Just finished DXHR and am now ready for R3.
 
Did IGN make a stance to simplify the shit out of their reviews? Because that R3 "review" is so fucking short and pointless, I didn't learn one thing about the game I had not known before.
 
Great work IG!

I hope this release sets a precedent for extending development time. Don't let your ambition, creativity, and hard work fall into a sea of mediocrity. I can't wait to see your next PS3 exclusive and I'm pimping this game as much as possible via Facebook. A quality exclusive that attempts to craft an interesting single player story while pushing hardware is something to be cherished.

I'll see you guys when All4One releases. I love the PS3 exclusives, and I hope you continue the relationship with Sony. As long as the games are quality and are Sony exclusives, you can garuntee I'm day 1.

I know dude.

R3 is clearly a better game then R2 =)

Moot sheeeeeeeeeit is better than R2. The question is, is R3 great and/or awesome? Bringing up sites' review history with R2 does them no favors, it seems. Gonna have to find a wifi spot and check the consensus on the way home from work tomorrow to make my decision.

Yes, they've said most people don't even read the reviews, just straight to the score.

How about some technical shit? How are the graphics? Sound? How does it play with the Move? How's the network reliability when playing online?

Wow, okay, I see that the link in the OP of this thread linked to the 2nd page of the review. My bad?
 
Which of these sentences isn't in the Resistance 3 IGN review:


Every kill in Resistance 3 is exceedingly satisfying - not only because of the first class arsenal and tight controls, but also because each time you take a Chimera down, it lets out an explosive death growl that tells you it's expired.
Click to expand...


It's a spine-chilling experience, and if you play this game alone at night, you'll likely go from explosive growls to explosive bowels.
Click to expand...


The high-octane, visceral action in Resistance 3 will blow you away.
Click to expand...


Weapon upgrades also keep you coming back for more, and the more you level up, the more weapons you start to unlock.
Click to expand...


The studio's team of writers have crafted a storyline that continually gut-punches you with its emotional resonance and unexpected moments, particularly in its second act

AI is still a bit dodgy at times

Despite trying to act as a gritty tale of survival, Resistance 3 is in essence just a regular shooter, with far more action filled firefights than lurking tales of humanity. Thankfully it's a well made game and has an impressive arsenal of excellent weapons, and the multiplayer - including a much-missed co-op mode - is a lot of fun.

Well thank you mister, now I know the Chimeras are humans wearing costumes.

And they would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for those meddling kids and their blasted dog.
 
I was holding off whether or not to get Resistance 3 (cause of Resistance 2, really disappointed with it) before this review. And a few of my friends had already gotten their hands on this game and they are enjoying the story and gameplay.

And so right after reading and watching the IGN review i guess I'm gonna buy it! It's the last in the series already right? :((
