I just finished R1 and I must say that I really enjoyed the campaign. I was interested in getting 2 but I heard a lot of people found R2 underwhelming. So my question why didnt ppl like R2 assuming they liked the first one?

I found Resistance 2 alot better than the first... The multiplayer, both Competitive and Co-Operative, is awesome..

IMO bigger didn't mean it was better. The graphics (in some respects) were actually downgraded IMO, such as pixellation being noticable with objects at a distance. The glass breaking effects were also totally lame compared to RFOM. Just another example... I think the co-op is really cheap. In single player, you practically take down the entire Chimera forces all on your own (with the help of allies occasionally). Yet, in co-op, a typical Hybrid Chimera takes tons more hits before going down. The boss battles are repetitive and boring. 10 minutes of just blasting the crap out of a giant Chimera that has no brains and sits in the same spot just looking at you with intermittent attacks. Overall, I was not impressed, and rather annoyed with various aspects of the game. This is coming from a person who enjoyed the first Resistance greatly. Just my opinion, but those are a few of the things that made me lose interest and stop playing it within a month or so of its release, and just a few weeks ago I sold it on eBay.

Pesistence 2 sucks so much. Pesistence 1 was waaaaayyy better.

Now Resistence 2 was awesome and improved on the first in just about every way.

lol....Pesistance :lol: as for the question, i loved FoM, but R2 was lame imo b/c of terrible competitive MP, horrible visuals, a mediocre campaign with an uninteresting story, and the fact that they took the weapon wheel from FoM out :evil: overall its a decent game that's fun for a while, but tbh i really don't think it's that great... certainly not AAA-worthy, which is what gamespot rated it.

RFoM was a great game and R2 just couldn't live up. I think the main prblems were the change in controls, and only allowing 2 weapons. Before R2 was released I was hoping that R2 would simply steal CoD4's control layout and when they did it just did not work out as well as I had hoped. Also being able to pick up and carry every weapon in RFoM at one time was sweet and it was a shame they took that away.

R2 is still a good game and worth playing if you liked RFoM but you will not be blown away.

I actually missed the worst part here. No 2 player local campagin mode. That was possibly the best part of RFoM and often is the best part of most video games. It was completly abondoned and replaced for a terrible local multiplayer piece of junk.

Aw, dude, you fixed the thread title. Now nobody will get the Pesistance jokes... :( I'm not happy any more. ................. Anyway, as to actually contribute to the topic: I never played R2 simply because so much better stuff came out around the same time, and I just lost all interest. Then I heard all this bad stuff about it. Then I just forgot it existed. I thought R1 was awesome, so If I ever catch it sittin' cheap I'll buy it. Then I'll come back and tell you why I don't like it. lol

Because they have the ability to form their own opinions and decisions? Personally, I loved R2-- much better than the R1

Persistance? I thought we were talking about Pesistance? lol But if they did make another game in the series I'm sure Persistance would be an appropriate title.

Here's some of the reasons I didn't like R2. Keep in mind that I loved R1.

  • The removal of the weapon wheel
  • A severe lack of story compared to R1
  • I thought the boss fights, while cool to look at, were terribly boring and lacked excitement
  • Pacing felt off
  • I thought the art style was ugly

I could list even more reasons, but I'll stop there.

Honestly, I thought R2 was a huge step backward in nearly every way from the first. I loved R1, and because of that, I had huge expectations for R2. Sadly, the game was a huge disappointment for me. Not a bad game, mind you, just not nearly as good as R1, in my opinion.

Well it depends. Most people who liked the first hated the second, and most people who loved the first hated the second.Fans didn'tlike the changes made, and fanboys where upset that Insomniac did such a great job on their second FPS game.

1. The campaign mode was short and incredibly linear. The story was also extremely weak. The online play, when you could play, was decent though. The co-op was fun for a while but the replay value of it was low. The competitive multiplayer was cartoonish at best. It felt like you had no real attachment to the ground and the weapons did not feel right. It may have been a bit better if it came before COD4 but it R2 still sucked.

Fall of man was a superior game.. r2 was rushed and half as*ed.. co-op and 60 player online doesn't make up for poor online system (game modes, classes, squads.. ect. ), and a terrible story mode..

I'm playing through R2 at the moment, and I am liking it. I love the way it looks, and the way it plays too. I do think they should have kept the same weapon system that was in the first, instead of just being able to carry two at a time. Two at a time is ok, but there are so many cool weapons in the game that people might miss out on because the bullseye and carbine work so well. I also don't like the fact that sometimes when you start a new chapter, the game gives you different weapons, even though it's right after you left off. Killzone 2 also had this and I didn't like it.

Saying that, I am finding the gameplay generally to be a lot tighter in R2. I love the setting more than the first. The story is pretty weak, but these kind of games don't need amazing stories, I would be playing them anyway. :)

In all honesty it was a big let down to me. I mean it was a good game..but far from "groundbreakingly awsome" the graphics were subpar especially if you got close to something and the online was meh at best for me. I really wanted to liek it, but i just don't know

I'm one of the people who didn't like R2. R:FoM was a very good game and really well polished for a launch title. The graphics were good and the story was good too. The single player campaign was fun, but the multi player campaign was straight up BALLIN'. The online was ok at the time considering that PSN just then started to take of. R:FoM is one of my favorite PS3 games. With all that being said I was hoping that R2 would pick up where R;FoM had left off. So I went and copped the limited edition and was really pumped for the game. I put it into the triple and then i was like WTF because the graphics blew. R:FoM had way better graphics. Now I know that most people say graphics don't make the game, but that only counts for games that are story driven not an FPS, which the main strong point is the visuals. The campaign wasn't as good ad I didn't really like the online either. I kind of feel like it tried to be HALO, which regardless of what anyone says is the most polished and balanced online console game ever created. They shouldn't boast about a game with up to 64 players and then release something that should have come out three years ago just so that it an support that statement. The campaign was pretty bland too and I could never figure out how to do the local multi player campaign. It just feels like it was a downgrade from R;FoM instead of an upgrade such as the difference between Killzone and KZ2, which is straight money. That game is banging. The visuals and the sound are phenomenal and so is he online and single player.

I love Resistance 2. If it wasn't for Killzone2 i will still play it. single player is not the strongest point of R2, multiplayer is. Team death match with 62 players on one map is just awesome :D Co-operative mode which is my favorite with 8 players trying to clear a whole level of bosses and extra difficult mobs. You can't beat that.

Simple. The severe lack of off-line co-op campaign made this game terrible. If they don't bring that back for R3, I will not be buying it.

I just finished R1 and I must say that I really enjoyed the campaign. I was interested in getting 2 but I heard a lot of people found R2 underwhelming. So my question why didnt ppl like R2 assuming they liked the first one?

I liked the campaign, but the silent PSN killed MP for me. Its too hard to have a fun coordinated co-op session if only one other person has a mic and doesn't talk.

Ive tried both, its just the game itself, the shooting feels to fake. The melee in the 1st one was a one hit kill. It just gave me a headache. But in all honesty there are few games that actually live up to my standards. AKA MGS4. Killzone 2 was the same as R2 for me.
