Zero Punctuation: Resistance 3

[hgtrf]

Humans COMBINED with aliens you say? Why, that almost sounds like a CHIMERA from greek mythology!

Best review in a while. The ultimate irony for me;
I laughes so hard at the end I almost threw up in my mouth.

 

[BrotherRool]

Wow a good review. I'm shocked. Just to let you know, none of the previous Resistances had 2 gun limits or completely regenerating health either. And the guns have always been creative. I think they steal it from the games they've always made

You didn't play R2 did you? It had complete regen health and the 2 weapon limit.

Ah okay, yeah I played R1 and assumed they'd make the second like that, particularly if the third was the same. Thanks for the correction

Unique. Good to see ol' Yatzee geting out of the "play, hate, spend most of the time complaining about story (even if there is hardly one), make joke and end" formula.

Great review, the game looks fun. Finally a first person shooter with med-kits and unlimited weaponry at your disposal. I'll be very likely to pick up a copy once I'm done with my gaming backlog.

 

[Ironbat92]

Wow, Yahtzee likes the game.

This gag was already old five years ago, but I have to do it:

"We are Half-Life!
Resistance is futile!"

I didn't read through the whole thread, but did anyone else notice that this week's intro has a higher framerate than normal, and the entire video seems to be higher quality?

(or maybe The Escapist accidentally gave all of us the PubClub video, in which case, I hope I don't ruin it for everyone)

 

[Mykin]

Erm, Yahtzee, are you alright? I'm not complaining or anything but it seems like you snapped when Resistance 3 gave you everything you ever wanted in a shooter...Is this a bad time to tell you where they buried Half life 3?

 

[FallenMessiah88]

Nice to see that Yahtzee has found a game that he likes, even it does borrow rather heavily from Half Life 2. Must be really depressing to hate every new game you play. :-/

 

[xdiesp]

Who's in for a round of Messianic Mango shots?

 

[Crazie_Guy]

All this time, I've been waiting for him to realize that the Resistance games are actually exactly the kind of shooters he likes. It's a shame he never played the first two, or he would have realized it much sooner.

 

[ChupathingyX]

Well I did play the first 2 Resistance games, thought they were great and would've gladly got this if I still had a PS3... Bit of a shame to see certain elements ripped off, but fuck it, lets face facts gentlemen, very little in the AAA gaming world isn't 'borrowed'...

Insomniac Games have had this kind of gameplay since the first Ratchet and Clank game, which was released 2 years before HL2.

 

[Henkie36]

Aside from the SSBB review, is this really the first time where Yathzee went silent without being part of the actual joke?

 

[personion]

This was the most hilarious review I've ever seen in my life. It seemed like yahtzee was enjoying the review, and I was laughing the whole way through.

 

[captnb2thep]

Haha, this one was definitely one of the best ones I've seen in a while. However, I do think it was a little fanboy-ish of Yahtzee to say Resistance 3 was ripping off Half-Life. We get it Yahtzee, you like Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, Silent Hill 2, and Valve games, but just because it has similarities to a game you like, doesn't mean that its ripping it off lol, it could just mean just that, they are similar. I've never really played the resistance games before, save a little bit of the first one, but this seems like another reluctantly positive Zero Punctuation review haha. I still probably won't pick it up though.

Why does it always come back to how Valve deserves to have its cock sucked for making everything we know in modern videogames possible.

Why does it always come back to how Valve deserves to have its cock sucked for making everything we know in modern videogames possible.

Because they're the only big-name gamemaker that hasn't fallen into "two weapons, regenerating health, cover-based gameplay" shitpile that virtually everyone else has gotten sucked into thanks to Modern Warfare and Gears of War (the first ones) making trainloads of money.

Serious Sam 3 will be a damn good game. The first two are stellar examples of the classic shooter, and the third will be as well.

Battlefield 3 will probably be another game that COULD be good if EA wasn't full of monkeys, just like Bad Company 2 and Battlefield 2142.

The rest is gonna be a pile of shit that people will still waste their money on for some reason.

 

[Splitfire3]

What Yahtzee seems to expect from this franchise is what killed the experience for me.. I put Resistance Fall of Man as one of the best games of all time because of the impressions i sat with afterwards. the other two wasn't even close to the same experience.
