Resistance Vita - Why all the hate???

Just as soon as it's released, the game's been slaughtered with below-average and average reviews from mad critics. There's only been less than a handful of good reviews. The game's not that bad, and it's really worrying if they keep this up - imagine if the sales of the Vita can't increase because people keep on believing these bs reviews? Instead of criticizing the games so early on, I think they're supposed to try and support them instead. Give the system a chance, ya know.

Anyways, are you guys still gonna get Resistance even after reading those reviews? What do you think about them?

Its the best game I've ever played. Highly recommend it

I'm playing the demo right now. It's alright. Never actually played the other Resistance games before.

I would have no interest in another Resistance game on consoles, to be honest, so the idea of a stripped down Vita version using its slightly awkward analog sticks is not an exciting prospect. I have no interest in any FPS games on my Vita, either, despite it having dual analog sticks. Give me some fresh, creative new stuff please. More Gravity Rush, less generic sci-fi shooter X.DJ_Lae

Well, that's personal preferences. I'm thinking that we need both generic shooters and new games in order for the Vita to succeed. Just look, when Monster Hunter comes out, sales are gonna boost like heck, and it's generic games like that which allows deveopers to make games like Gravity Rush (awesome game). We need the Vita to succeed, or developers won't give a darn about investing in aproduct that don't sell.

we're getting a monster hunter for the vita?danish-death

There's been loads of rumors on that, and Play.com had leaked news about a Monster Hunter Portable 3 or something, although it's been removed due to Capcom's wishes. It's still unclear, but everybody in the industry's saying that Monster Hunter will have to come out, cause that's a huge game, particularly in Japan. It's already there in all platforms including the 3DS, so it's just a matter of time for the PSV. Let's just hope it's not a port from a console. We'll just have to wait for E3 and pray!

So you're saying Reviewers should lie about how they feel about a game in order to boost sales for it?Minishdriveby

Well, not lie completely, but I think that they should at least consider the situation rather than downright bashing them. Lying and giving the game a perfect score would be ridiculous, for sure.

Surely you're not advocating that people lie to help out Sony, Vita, or devs who put out subpar games? Why would anyone do that? Journalistic integrity has decreased enough over the years, don't you think?

Also, what exactly is "the situation"? The fact that there's an incredibly powerful and capable device in the Vita, and that the developers of this game, in the minds of many, put out a subpar product? Is that the situation to which you're referring?

If anyone is to be criticized it's those that put out subpar games. Not those that don't like it. Not those that don't buy it. And certainly not those that won't lie for subpar products.

Sorry, but if you're meaning what I think you're meaning, this is just absurd, IMO.

A lot of people are tired of Resistance I guess. I still want the game because I love the series, don't really trust reveiws on this one and I think I'll like it.

Nah, I don't mean it that way. Sure, the developers are to blame for subpar games, and I must admit that I'm being unreasonable to criticizing these critics. Everyone's got their own opinion, but it's just amazing how bad critics tend to overwhelm the internet nowadays (IGN, Gamespot right here). I don't mind that, just need to ignore it.

Sorry if I sounded that meant it the way you said it, I guess I'm just panicking about how the Vita will turn out to be. What with the failure of the Go, the lackluster sales and lack of interest, surely there must be a way to fix this? The subpar games and uber-bad reviews aren't helping either. For those who've invested on and bought the Vita already, it's a worry, and a big one at that.

I try to choose words properly, but sometimes they just slip out of hand and give the wrong impression :S, forgive me for that!

It's not hate if it's true. The game is mediocre and critics are responding with mediocre reviews. It happens.

I played the demo and, although it's not terrible, nothing about it would make me want to buy it. The grpahics are subpar, the story (or what little of it I saw) seemed cliche and forgettable, the sound effects are poor, the level design seems unimaginative and bland, and it lacks polish (like one reviewer said, it feels and looks almost like a pre-alpha build). And from what else we know about the game the campaign is very short, doesn't have great replayability and multiplayer is barebones and buggy.

How anyone can expect a game suffering from all of those issues to get anything other than mediocre reviews is beyond me.

I wanted the game to succeed, but, being realistic, there was almost no way the game was gonna turn out great after how bad the game looked a few months ago. In Nihilistic's defense, they cleaned up quite a bit since then. Anyway, hopefully most of the people that bought it are satisfied with their purchase.

I think it deserves that score.

Maybe next time they can think twice and create a better game.

The game looked terrible in the beginning and it looks terrible now. Terrible sfx, dull visuals that gives it an empty feel, and what everybody else has said before. It looks like it took them awhile to fix that low fps that had from beginning.

Head over to velocitygamer.com for my review of it and sorry of it seems like span, but I want the site to get more attention

Yeah, the trailer was unbelievably bad. I didn't even want to get it at first. They really did clean up, cause at least the game's now considerably better than what they promised in the awful trailers.

Played the demo, its the definition of average, controls were fine to me but everything else was very lackluster, sad cause I was hyped for this game.

Its a very meh game. I like it but it lacks emotion, character, and bangs. I just wished the multiplayer would work.

I played the demo and I enjoyed it, but its nothing amazing.

One thing I hated though was the sound of the guns... Sounded like fire crackers or something. Just bad weapon sound.

IMO the gameplay its fine, and the two analog sticks work like a charm, better than U:GA IMO.

But the sounds effects of this game sucks HARD, i feel like in a 90's game the sound effects just distract you from the immersion of the game.

It sucks really hard

I definitely agree with the analog sticks. I had to play through half of Uncharted's campaign to finally shoot properly.

I really like this game, it's "fun." That's all that matters to me. I would give it a 7.5 overall.gokuofheaven

Exactly. The game's entertaining, and it's enough to make it worthwhile.

I have just bought it. This game is on my desk in front of me. I shall play it and see what I think about it. I enjoy the Resistance series so I'll like it. But I'll have to give it a go and see if this game deserves hate or not.

the online is a lot of fun now

I have had a chance to play Resistance Burning Skies. I just bought it. It is a alright game thus far I am enjoying it. I haven't tried the MP yet. But the single player storymode is good. but not anything special. This game is a 7 out of 10. The controls are just fine. But I really think that this game was overhyped, It is not a bad game, but it is not outstanding. I like it, but Sony may have not made the best decision to hand over development over to NiHilistic. Since this takes place as the same timeline as Resistance 2. The whole story doesn't matter. As the outcome is predeterimined in Resistance 2 and Resistance 3.

Resistance Burning skies is a good game. Not an excellent game as people had hoped.
