It certainly does. After beating normal on my regular home-theater-in-a-box crapola I got five years ago and playing hard with my new HDMI receiver and speakers...its like playing a totally different game. :lol

... the hell? Now my stats are at zero (Private), and most of my ribbons and medals are gone. What's going on here? Oh well... any GAF games planned for tonight? I should have some time around 7-8 eastern.

This has happened periodically sine the game game came out, though they said it wouldn't happen anymore with the patch. Everything will return to the way it was.

Hi everyone,

We’re deploying an update to the servers this afternoon outside of the usual 5am-7am PST maintenance period. During this update, players may be disconnected from the game servers. We wanted to inform you of the possible service outage in advance so that you could plan accordingly.

We’ll provide more info about this situation as soon as we have it.

Thanks for your continued support,
Insomniac Games

I know what you mean. There's alot of people saying Resistance is just an "average" FPS and they've only gotten through the first couple of levels and then quit. This game is so underrated. Some reviewers claim that the story is rather plain, but Insomniac actually made the story quite deep if you ask me. Plus, the game is so detailed (I mean, c'mon, when the morse code that the Black Ops corpses produce during the single player ACTUALLY mean something, that's pretty crazy).

Also, to sprint you just tap L2.

I used to judge lots of games by Gamerankings' overall average. But now, I see that it's too saturated with sites and magazines that are biased and have horrible reviewers. Resistance's average is 89%. WTF? I'm not saying it should have 95% or better (although I personally would give 9.5 out of 10), but an average of 89% for Resistance is ridiculous.

Underrated is an understatement when referring to Resistance, lol. It only got 1 100% score, while Gears got 22. 22! WTF? And Gears and Zelda have an overall average of 94% and 95% respectively. Not that Gears and Zelda aren't great games (because they are), but Resistance getting 5-6% lower than them makes me see that most reviewers and critics have lost a lot of their credibility when deciding how good a game is these days.

We need to play more ranked servers with GAF parties. We owned the whole server when we last played. It was like "[GAF]_name_" In the top 6 spots. :D

Just got out of a ranked game...

I had six teammates...

Not one of them had a mic...

Not a mother****ing one...

I find more people with mics playing PS2 games. What in the hell is going on? :|

Seriously...
 
I'd join you guys, but I really really suck right now. (Hey, I just got my PS3 yesterday) Don't want to drag the real killers down. It took me two games before I got my first kill in ranked play.

I'm going to try and find some skills in single-player over the next couple days. Then I'll go get slaughtered again.

PSN name is HijoDelLocoRoco. Say "Hi" when you kill me sometime!

:D

It probably would have been better if they had packed in mics with it like they did with Socom. But then again, maybe they're saving that for Socom 4.

Ugh, I have to go buy a mic too?? There's really none in the PS3 box? Sheesh! PS3 is making me poor.

See you guys online tomorrow.

I have a mic plugged into my PS3 (before I had to pack it away this week due to renovation at my place, which is getting repainted and recarpeted), and most of the time I just don't feel like yapping. It's a shooter, what am I supposed to say? Like "you are teh pwn3d-wown3d!!!" everytime I cap someone?

Bought this game with my PS3 today. The controls are fishy, but I've been used to Xbox shooter controls for years. Going to take some getting use to.

Teammates have to communicate in objective-based games like Meltdown or Breach. I mean, what's the point of playing a game type like that if you're only out for yourself? I personally don't like it's-all-about-my-kill-count games like Deathmatch. You certainly don't have to chat it up in the middle of a heated gun battle, but it definitely helps a team win when people call things out and attempt some kind of strategy.

I was used to the xbox controls as well but you will definitely get used to it. Finish the game and go to multiplayer and you will not even think twice about the control. Its nice that it's lightweight as well as I forget it is even there.

GAF matches sound pretty cool, how do I go about getting in on them? My psn id is: Alske. Can any of you recommend a good (and cheap) wireless headset?

In deathmatch, or even team deathmatch I probably wont use my mic. It's more annoying than helpful IMO.

But breach or meltdown I'll take out the mic and chat it up.

Thing is, I probably play more ranked deathmatch than anything, I feel I get better rank stats going solo unless I'm in a party.

I totally changed the default controls.

I have triangle for gun select
square for reload
circle for nade throws
R1 for primary fire
R2 for secondary fire
L1 for crouch/sprint
X for jump
L2 for melee
L3 for voice chat

I have mine setup the same, except with primary being R2 and secondary being R1. I find this to be a great setup.

LOL, that sucks. This is one of the biggest problems with Resistance/PS3 right now. And it's not really the game/console's fault. It's Sony and players' fault. Like everyone says, once SOCOM IV comes out, this problem will most likely be solved.

But as of now, people without mics outnumber those that has one... by a lot in Resistance. I guess it's good cuz I hate it when people breathe into the mic non-stop. Oh, and I hate having to press L3 to talk during a game (non-squad).

I totally agree with you. Gears and Zelda are good games, but they haven't hooked me like Resistance has...it's worthy of a 9.5 for sure.

And we do need to play some more ranked matches. I think we won every match (excluding the matches we played agianst each other). So when's the next night?

Motorola H300. It's only like 40 bucks at bestbuy.
 
Got a paltry stat update today of about 800 kills and 250 assists... hard to tell with some of the other stuff. I got five sniper ribbons!!!! I'm only missing like 1,995 now. EXP seems wonky too because I barely got any even with the update. I'm at about 8,200 kills now, and just looking at the ribbons I've been gaining in ranked matches now that I play them some and thinking about how I've been playing in unranked I'd estimate I'm probably around 15k kills now and I seriously doubt I'll ever get credit for even a fourth of that :/

At least something seems to have happened. My progress the previous two weeks consisted of 100 kills per week with a 50 exp increase. So at least this was a bit larger.

I also don't understand why half the ribbons track perfectly (I guess, maybe they are still behind too, but they seem to be) while the other half ( melee kills and sniper ribbons seem to be the worst offenders) barely track at all.

You really should post in the PSN ID thread, and I'm sure people will add you.

Thank you Insomniac!

Looks like stats are working again...

Haven't seen how well they 'track' yet, but they've been updated.

that was a nice long resistance session with you guys, except for a few broken meltdown games...

lunlunqq, you are a god or something ? How can you *%&**@@# rake up 27 kills in one of the games when everyone else in the team scored 9 or fewer ?

Thanks for the session. I know the other team-based game types better now. I was thinking for Meltdown, some teams seem to gather together about X minutes before the end and charge from 1 node to the other. That way they don't have to spare extra resources guarding the captured nodes.

Also even after I joined team Tango, I don't seem to spawn beside you guys. The menu always say press ^ to spawn and I end up right at the beginning. :(

If you're in a squad, you can respawn near that squad by pressing square instead of triangle.
