What was is about Resistance that made me not want to play it ever again after ten minutes?

Probably being too judgemental but it just seemed like Insomniac took everything every other shooter maker has done better and rolled it all into one game:

WWII? Check.
Aliens? Check.
Heavily scripted action? Check.
Gears of War style art direction?
Double Check.

I don't know. Not saying it was a bad game, but as a guy who plays a fair amount of shooters, I there wasn't a single thing about Resistance 1 that made me feel like I was doing something I hadn't done before in another game, where it was likely done better. Heard Resistance 2 was better in the multiplayer department, but that the single player disappointed, so I'm not even bothering...

@stranger: Not WWII because it never happened, so you can at least check that off. The story itself is worthy of a playthrough let alone the gameplay.

Too bad they dropped the ball on the second one by only allowing two weapon carries at a time, but the story and end of the game made it pretty worth it. You should bother just to...bother, I don't know.

@mangs: Photoshop is tricky and much more time consuming when dealing with moving images. It costs next to nothing to have a couple of guys go plaster a billboard with an ad.

It would take longer to rig a green screen up there than it would to simply hang the advert, so what's the point in doing either?

@Ash Crimson: I actually really enjoyed the first Resistance. Campaign Local Co-Op. That's all it really needed to make me throw $60 at it.

Resistance 2, on the other hand, I felt was very disappointing. Mainly because, it lacked Campaign Local Co-Op. That was a huge knock against it, and if it had it, it would have been better than the first.

@Cocksie: Neither of them are milked. Halo games come out once every couple years, and they've had a single spinoff so far. Resistance has a whopping 2 games (3? I forgot if there was a PSP version), and now getting one more. They're both good too, holy crap that's right, games can be good for both consoles.

@BryanH: I think when people refer to Halo being milked they're talking about the franchise as a whole and not just the games. So the books, toys, patches, upcoming animated series, 7-11 cups, tampons (I know, I know), etc. The franchise as a whole is so over-marketed that it wouldn't matter if there was only 1 game, it feels like a whole lot more.

Hopefully we get a bit of a Devil May Cry situation with this; first one was good but flawed, second one tried a lot of new things but had trouble succeeding at them, while the third one ends up using the best parts of the first two installments and becomes the best in the series.

@Sir-Lucius does anything for Dethklok: I didn't hate R2, it's still quite a bit more creative than most modern shooters (seriously, developers. Follow Insomniac's example and MAKE SOME NEW WEAPONS!), but there was something about the feel of the game that made me like it a bit less than R1.

Co-op mode was pretty awesome though. Still, the main problem with R2 was that it tried so hard to appeal to everybody at the same time, and ended up appealing to a lot less people because of it. There were sparks of genius in there, but Insomniac needs to stop listening to focus groups and just make the kind of game they want to make. Call of Duty fanboys are idiots, their input did R2 no good.

@Archaotic: Oh yeah it definitely wasn't bad. I just took it a little personally. The whole thing felt less polished. Guns didn't seem to have the same amount of kick, the characters felt kinda floaty, and the animations (especially on the yellow-white skeleton things) were kinda lame.

It wasn't a bad game, but it wasn't as good as R1 to me. And at the time of it's release too much other stuff came out for me to force my way through a game I just didn't enjoy playing as much as others.

@Sir-Lucius does anything for Dethklok: Yeah, I think their insistence on listening to focus groups really doomed the game, since the "Call of Duty-esque" weapon mechanic made it so every combat scenario essentially had ONE potential way to end to it, rather than letting you lug around a massive arsenal of weapons and take on battles any way you wanted like in R1.

This is exactly why Call of Duty needs to die; people keep trying to shoehorn its bullshit mechanics into games that don't need 'em because FPS fans can't fathom or process anything different anymore.

@Archaotic: Only thing I saw it steal from CoD was the "L1 to aim" thing, and honestly that's the main reason I even play FPS's now (Hated the genre before that particular advancement. Ok, Resistance 1 was good even without it, and I enjoyed playing Killzone 1, but only really when it was with this one particular friend of mine. Otherwise, hated FPS).

I might be wrong though, I'm only really familiar with CoD4. Did it take something from an earlier CoD?

@Lord Shplane: The "only two weapons at once, one being a pistol" mechanic, for one, as well as the "walls of impossibly well-covered enemies you have to essentially wade waist deep into to prevail over" mechanic from CoD4 reared its head a few times as well.

The weapon mechanic wouldn't have been as bad if your guns carried more ammo, but I always found myself running out of ammo during the bigger battles and RUNNING back to hide while I looked for a new gun. They should've kept the weapon wheel from R1.

@Archaotic: You have a point, especially since a big draw for the game in general was how awesome its weapons are.

But it wasn't that big of a deal to me. It added a bit more challenge, but it didn't let me play around with awesome guns as much. So it was a bit of a tradeoff.
