Only because you hated the game doesnt mean its bad.
I own both resistance 2 and gears 2 and I like resistance 2 more.

So it's perfectly okay to be a console elitist, but whine about PC elitists? Here's my take on the idea:Xaositect said:
"You're both retarded. Stop fighting."
As for the OP, I don't think it's necessary for Yahtzee to review Resistance 2, as you've done a pretty good job of it.
I agree 100%. Retards come in all ages, and if you were dumb when you were young, you'll be dumb when you're older.VoltySquirrel said:
If R2 was anything like the first game then it would be an alright (not shining) example of a first person shooter. I'm just happy I picked it up for 40bucks ($AUS) rather than $110 or some other ridiculous price they charge here. It wasn't worth that. It's more of a rental game, have a blast on it then forget about it.
Whoever said the auger was a good weapon (I forget who it was now, someone back on the first page) is bang on. That thing is great. They're also correct about the bullseye and carbine, bullseye for short range corrdior work, carbine for long distance.
Gears of War was a lot better, but they're completely different games. For greater impact you should really have compared two FPS's rather than an FPS and 3PS, it doesn't really work like that.
There's also nothing wrong with console controllers in terms of being able to aim or control them. It just takes practice like anything else. I've playd half-life 2 the whole way through on both a comp and console and there's no difference in the aiming mechanic. You get used to either.

I'm not sure what to take from this. I was commenting on you sounding like a stereotype in your post. Why would you reply to that saying that you hate stereotypical-sounding people?
A) What's Jacksonville have to do with this? Are you saying you fit into a stereotype?
B) What's being hispanic have to do with this? Are you saying you fit into a stereotype?
C) When you say you hate your family, does that include yourself for falling into hypcritical stereotypes? (if so, that explains A and B)
D) Don't worry, you're not that smart. I'm sure that once you get out of stereotypical Jacksonville (I assume, anyway, according to the stereotypes from someone who lives there a.k.a. you) ou will be confronted with the realization that the world, while mostly full of self-righteos assholes (self-depricating irony), has more than enough smart people to make you feel stupid.
E) I'm American too. Lots of us are.
Actually he'd have better luck of Yahtzee reading it if he flushed it down the toiletRandom argument man said:
No, I'm just saying that Yahtzee never listens to anybody. Regardless of what forum he posts it in.Random argument man said:
Wait, so you're angry that a critic had a different opinion of a game than you did? Why do you need Yahtzee's ok to dislike a game, if you don't like it, then trade it in, don't write a post to someone who is probably not going to read it.

Are you implying that your penis is small with that sex joke?
Resistance 2 has The best pause menu sound effects I've ever heard.
Other than that It's an ok FPS, I thought the campaign was pretty challenging and fun. Never played online though.

I second that. If you can't do something as simple as THINK for yourself, then you had no business possessing the money you used to buy the console and game in the first place. Then again, you're the fodder that feeds the corporate machine so I guess you have your use to some people excessively more wealthy than you.PureChaos said:
If one must aim their cross-hairs at anyone, it should be at "professional" game review sites that play favoritism because Company X threw a heaping helping of money in their face or gave them a blow to get a good review and/or bury a competing product.
As for this Controller Vs. Mouse/Keyboard rubbish, it all seemed to go nowhere fast. Based on the General_Rogue's initial disdain for FPS console controls, a handful of users began to hurl their own angst at each other about the two schemes which all seemed rather needless or out of a subconscious need to reaffirm your own bloated perceptions of yourselves. As for my view, if you got used to one control scheme then you can learn another. We go through every generation of gaming and every genre over the years doing so. It's not hard, provided that you have an IQ greater than your shoe size.
The amount that Mr. Croshaw cares can only be described with the expression < Absolute zero. Also, I haven't played Resistance 2 so I'm not sure what to make of it.
I feel your pain, General_Rogue, and indeed, Yahtzee has before said that this is why he is such a negative critic: High-profile games conspiciously get higher marks than low-profile games, even though they suck bawls. Corruption, furthering the industry... There are many reasons why this is the case. I dropped Gamespot and IGN/Gamespy off along time ago, because I realized they gave the big-budget sequels higher scores than original games for absolutely no reason other than advertisement greed. You can only trust yourself on deciding if a game is good, because, all in all, reviews are useless. Whether you like a game or not is a subjective matter, and on those matters, nobody can tell you what is right or wrong.

Jebuss i don't think i've heared a grown man mope about some pathetic points this much since there wasn't a florange coulored block in tetris. you play an infected dude with attitude and not a power aromured steriod monkey with attitude who cares?
And if your fighting aliens that have lazer technology weapons of course you are going to crumple like the newspaper from a chippie thats been left in the rain.
Will people ever realise that FPS is a 'fill in the blanks' Genre for developers.

No they were not. Really they weren't his complaints are that there is no cover mechanic and that you die too easily. While I agree it would be nice to have a system where you can lean in and out from behind walls the game does not use this to actively punish you. It's also kind of ridiculous to suggest that the game is too hard because even while you do regenerate (as does the enemy.) you are not exactly invincible. You couldn't even do that in the first game which had what may have been an even more difficult take on health in that only a single block of health would regenerate, once you lost it, it was gone until you found some health.Pyronox said:
Resistance and Resistance 2 do in fact require that you use your brain a little bit to avoid dying, and not from total bullshit either. That's not to say that there are not times where you spray and pray while running like hell through an area though.
