That review was certainly a cut above the average.

I hope this game (and later Serious Sam 3) marks the depopularization of these stupid modern shooter mechanics that have so bum-fucked the FPS genre.

It's better to be a good ripoff than a bad original work (the word "original" being used in the loosest sense.)

That was the best ZP in a long time. Yahtzee was a bit of a ham in this one, which is always great. Shame Resistance 3 is a PS3 exclusive.

So they realised Resistance 2 was worse than 1 and put everything that made 1 cool back in?
(the health system, carry a truckload of guns)

Oh dear me, I might actually want to buy this game now.

Shame Yahtzee didn't play R1, it was quite good in fact, easily the PS3's best launch title.

Reading the first posts here, I realize most people can't remember the line "nobody likes it when I'm being nice to a game". The only reason he compared it to HL2 was to make the review hilarious. And that he managed.

I have to be fair, this is one of the funniest reviews Yahtzee has done in quite some time. It makes me regret not having a PS3 just so I can view the Jimmy Hendrix experience for myself. And the touch with the imps at the end sure made me giggle.

I can't wait for your next review now.

I'd love to think Resistance is actually starting a comeback for intelligent fps, and that the game industry will realise that we don't all the regen health and ridiculous Press X to cover. Let's face it, when we ran into a monster thorwing fireballs in Doom, we got behind something quickly. So much more strategy required than getting to cover in Splinter Cell or Bloodstone.

Yahtzee? Flat-out liking a modern-day FPS? The one that was essentially the starting gun for FPS Season 2011 no less? If I actually had a PS3, I'd buy this game just to see if the game dispenses some form of drug directly into the pleasure center of your brain.
It's called "Nostalgi-A"

Oi!!! Wait a tic!!!

Yahtzee has *played* Metro 2033?
Funny, I don't see a Metro 2033 review anywhere. You've been holding out on us! Bad Yahtzee!

and CAPCHA: set-dancing tingclea

As in; a Metro 2033 review would give me a special feeling in my set-dancing tingcleas.

Now I just have to remember to use that phrase in conjunction with "Twing Twang".

Why is truth stranger than fiction? Fiction has to make sense!

Haha! First review in a while which has made me laugh like that.
Excellent video Yahtzee. :D

As for the game itself, well, doesn't look too bad. Medipacks/non-regenerating health and having more than the current standard of 2 or 3 weapon slots carries a certain amount of weight for me, so now I just need to do a bit more research on how good the game actually is, and I may get it. ^_^

Did the story of Resistance 3 give any indication that the series was starting to reach a conclusion? We've had three console games with a portable title and another on the way so it seems like we should be at least close to being in the proximity of perhaps being near the finale by now.

Judging by this review, Yahtzee might like Resistance 1. (He should probably skip 2, though.) It had semi-regenerating health and a weapon wheel. Insomniac brought health packs and the weapon wheel back because few people liked R2's completely regenerating health and two weapon slots.
