Resistance 3 | Review Thread [Update 2: Reviews Coming In]

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.
This is so much more fun reading in the Swedish Chef voice from The Muppets. "inkewding a much-meesed kerr-errp merrd."

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.

IGN's reviews have been uninformative and poorly written for years. See their MGS4 review.
 
Just Push Start 4.5
There are numerous FPS games released each year that it’s hard for some of them to stand out in the overcrowded market. Thankfully, Insomniac Games has managed to make Resistance 3 a fun and innovative experience. The addition of unique weapons, cool looking enemies and split-screen multiplayer is a major plus for me. The feature to reintroduce the health bar system is also a refreshing experience that sets Resistance 3 apart from many other games. The multiplayer mode is also heaps of fun to play and will add hours of more entertainment beyond the single player mode. Although it’s only September, Resistance 3 is sure to be a contender for “Game of the Year”.

Metacritic watch: 86 at the moment.

Resistance 2 is gonna be the highest rated game in the series! :P
Usually games drop a couple of points after the initial 20 scores. So it'll probably end up at 84, like Killzone 3.

I actually want it to be atleast 89. Just so Insomniac can say they improved on each game....

This just goes to show how broken metacritic is more than anything.

Yes, this hypothetical score goes to show how broken it is. You are correct, sir.

Different times, different standards.

Usually the opposite when European reviewers break the embargo first, I've noticed. European reviewers are often harsher, or more honest. However you want to look at it

A lot of reviewers review the check-list more than the game. Especially in the busy season like R2 was released into
 
El33tonline Review 5/5
Resistance 3 will not disappoint with its epic battles, smart enemies, explosive weapons, engaging sets and action-packed storyline – it’s an outstanding first-person shooter that will rival the best 2011 has to offer and deliver one of the most excellent gaming experiences you’ll have this year. With an exceptional singleplayer campaign, offline and online co-operative play, and a range of multiplayer modes, you’re definitely get more ‘bang’ for your buck with this title.

hmm.. Metacritic tracks publication averages... didn't know that...

For sweden eurogamer, who gave the game 7:

http://www.metacritic.com/publication/eurogamer-sweden?filter=games

"On average, this publication grades 7.9 points lower than other critics. (0-100 point scale)
Average Game review score: 65"

And IGN, who gave the game 9.0:

On average, this publication grades 4.4 points lower than other critics. (0-100 point scale)
Average Game review score: 68

....

Numbers are funny... Wisdom of the crowd and all that. :P

I hope not cause R3 looks to better then killzone3

BlimBlim's site seems to agree:

Truth be told, I haven't had such a blast with a first person shooter in a long while, which is why I strongly advise you to give it a try. After all, Resistance 3 has no trouble besting Killzone 3 and other references of the genre in many departments.


.... but I like both games nonetheless ! ^_^

EDIT: It's kinda weird to see so many positive reviews for R3. Ha ha ha !

Ok thanks.

Meristation review 9/10
With great visuals and intense heart-pounding gameplay, completed with a replayable Campaign mode and a solid Multiplayer offering that fans of the saga (and gamers who look for a great FPS experience) will love, Resistance 3 turns into the best game in the series so far, making it an epic conclusion to Insomniac's and PlayStation 3's exclusive trilogy.

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.

From the IGN review. Looks like they made it like R1, nice!
 
Good to see positive reviews. Sucks that I am not going to be able to pick this up until tomorrow night though because the wait is killing me!
 
Nowgamer gave it an 8.8, not posted a link because they suck and they put a lot of spoliers in the review.

yes, do not read that review until you've played it. spoilers we fought to protect for the entire marketing campaign is just thrown out there in it.
