Nonstop_Madness, don't give him fuel to keep posting his drivil. That trailer could be the coolest trailer ever made and he'd still bash it cause its a Sony exclusive. Fanboys are an interesting but sad bunch. It makes ya wonder how can people who love videogames so much hate it so much at the same time.

1. The Main character, He just isn't badarse enough or cool enough to enjoy using, to the level of Master cheif, Kratos, Snake, Marcus, etc etc. He just looks silly.

2. the whole WW2 with aliens isn't appealing.

So imo, the game will never have that massive appeal to it, due to those 2 things. Shame because, technically its a great game.

anyone else feel the same.

Nathan Hale is badass

I like the WW2 concept

LOL get out of here! He looks like one of those doomed extras whose lack of design and personallity is a dead giveaway to the fact that he dies before the game is over. Only he's the main character...

LOL, you get out of here, you made a bet and lost,

no one takes you seriously anymore so why are you still here?

(whispering)**now watch how these fanboys react when I slap a false 360 logo on the game. My hypothesis is that the TC's noted gripes with the game will be near non-existant**

No, I'm sick of the "bad ass" main characters. How about someone players can actually relate to? He is fine.

The story is pretty darn good for a FPS. I actually enjoyed the SP a lot because of the story.

GoW, resistance, Halo and pretty much all shooters have horrible characters. "Badarse" characters are really boring IMO. I'd much rather play as Raiden in MGS2.

If you played the game you would realize that story wise, Nathan Hale isnt the main character, the History is the main character. Yes, I know we use Nathan Hale all throughout, but the most prevalent and interesting character in the entire series is the Mythos of Resistance. Nathan Hale could have been soldier X who happened to survive, this isnt MGS4 where snake is the main character and his experiences are in the forefront. This is resistance, its like a look at the war through the eyes of a soldier. I honestly believe (and i may be wrong) that the story is setup in a way, that Nathan Hale is a side character and the real main character is the History behind the chimera. Just my opinion, and if my opinion is correct, Badass characters arent needed. And on that note, you dont always need badass characters. Some of the best characters are the weak and pathetic ones who must overcome insurmountable odds showing fear and anxioty (butchered spelling :P ) to achieve their goal.

1. Yeah, Hale was extremely plain but master chief isnt much better. I thought marcus was a joke. Snake could be a badass, but he is born form the mind of Kojima-sama, where nothing is what it seems :P. Kratos however is a true badass, the best ever, infact.

2. The premise is great. There are probably 4 weapons max that could have been used in WWII. The Chimera are a refreshing enemy and the story is deep enough for you to ask questions. Its Insomniac, the story is in good hands.

Personally, I love the alternate history that Insomniac has created for Resistance. So that doesn't bother me at all. Nathan Hale is a very good character in my opinion, I just think that the way the story was structured in the first game made him seem less like a badarse. But have corrected that for Resistance 2.

And we have a WINNER!!! That is very accurate way of depicting Rfom.

I really think no one ever listens to the story of games anymore, its like there to cool for it lol. Heck in this thread we've got people that sound like they want cut scenes after complaining about mgs4 lol but yet they still don't understand Rfom's story or how it's being directed to understand that Nathen Hale is your joe blow everyday soldier with a shaved head that is going to save the world :) He didn't need to be some bad ass, that is not the way the story is directed, they wanted you to feel like you could know this guy, heck maybe even lives next door to you.

Also Gordon Freeman, never said a word in HL2 and he wheres glasses so whats wrong with Nathen again lol.

I think #2 is what makes it so interesting, I mean it's a world that, not as fully advanced, and a threat that is far more advanced then what they have to handle them.

I agree that Nathan was a pretty lame character in R1 but his story and experience opens up for great things in R2. As far as the setting. It's awesome. It's not WWII because that war never happened in this alt. universe. And we're not sure where the Chimera came from. I love the Resistance setting and style :). Let's see if R2 changes your mind.

Nathan didn't even have a personality in RFOM. Neither does Master Chief, but the Halo games are still amazing.

I agree with your first point when we're talking about the first Resistance... because Nathan didnt talk alot in the first game. Hopefully they'll fix that in the second game.

And I think that WW2 with Aliens is very appealing, and the way Insomniac has had those "documentaries" that tie in real historical events with fictional events in the game makes it very interesting. I like the idea.

Resistance has a great classic scifi feel to it. The design of the aliens and their technology are pretty cool. Nathan Hale is definetly as charismatic as a piece of wood but luckily everything else is alive enough. Also I believe he will finally speak in this game so that should add some soul to the character. Still more appealing than the world of KillZone.

I too am tired of playing these overly macho guys. Could the characters in gears be any bigger or dumber? I'd love to play a game where the little guy beats the odds. Perhaps with his brains instead of with guns. I guess that is what makes Mario appealing even to this day. Maybe show some vulnerability instead of this caveman mentality most of them have. Travis Touchdown was a nice change of pace. What a great geek character. Hell I'd take the sackboys over Marcus Fenix any day.

So you think the concept is great, except for the WW2 with aliens part. Tell me, what is there to the game's concept other than 'WW2 with aliens'? Basically you're saying you would like Resistance if only it were more generic and simple, like Halo. Go figure.

Yeah but the great thing about Resistance is that it's exclusive to the PS3 so when you buy you know there won't be a better PC version released 4 months later.
