Insomniac Took Fan Reaction To Resistance 2 Pretty Hard
This topic is locked from further discussion.
But, as I said in the edit, it could have been so much better. Why not have us play a level the depicts the actual initial invasion? How amazing would it have been to lead an evacuation across the Goldengate Bridge? But, instead, we got that "2 years later" bullcrap.[QUOTE="Verge_6"][QUOTE="WTA2k5"]
Well, R2 might not have had the greatest story, but it was still good (not bad enough to make people hate the game).

Don't you think that's being a little bit nitpicky, though? Insomniac made the story the way they did, and there's room to critique that, but the fact that they didn't include all the various neat little scenarios they could have isn't a legitimate thing to criticize.
Of course it's not nit-picky. Look at what they depicted in those teaser art pics.
If that doesn't imply amazing urban combat, where you witness staples of civilization being laid to waste as you fight to keep yourself and fleeing civilians alive, I don't know what does. What they did not include had no reason to not be present. It's like cutting away whipped cream from strawberry shortcake.

If you've ever played God of War, look at the Lost Levels bonus movie, they describe tons of cool scenarios, that I would have loved to see in the game, but they got rid of them, and seemingly did so for the better of the game. Scrapped scenarios are something to think about perhaps, but not to criticize, because the truth is we'll never know how (and how well) they would've fit into the game.

You have a point bro, it seems you're a hardcore Resistance fan, personally it's my second favourite franchise after God of War. Nevetheless R2 had some awesome set pieces like on the second level in San Francisco when u get out of the bunker and see the Chimera fleet hovering over the city, it was awesome.The Leviathan boss battle was also breathtaking. Plus let's not forget the awesome ending. The pros of R2 : Better visuals Better weapon mechanics( come on the bullets of the weapons in RFOM felt like floating in the air and no I don't mean the Bullseye but even the Carbine) Awesome 60 player competetive and 8 player cooperative modes. Huge boss fights( IGN: The boss fights will make your jaw drop) Large number of enemies on screen Large scale battles( IGN: The scale of R2 is phenomenal) now I think some of the cons were: Lack of Narrator( although it made the game more fast paced which is cool) Lack of local coop in Single Player campaign To alot of people the lack of Weapon Wheel( I think the 2 weapon mode is more realistic) anyways I think the best thing will be if Insominac will mix the good things of RFOM and R2 in Resistance 3: Rise of Man and we'll have the best shooter this gen
