What's so special about the Resistance series?

I am a PS3 owner of 4 years and I really don't get the hype for these games.

I've played all of them. (Yes even the PSP one.)

But it just feels like a shooter with aliens and some unique guns.

Even the story isnt that interesting.

I'm not bashing on it or anything but seriously...

This is one of the few exclusives I never really cared about.

Am I the only one? :(

Nothing really, I found it to be a pretty generic FPS to be quite honest. I know other will disagree though.

Enjoyed Fall of man.. but my friends nagged me to take r2 online right away caused me to skip the sp and i rather hated the changes made online that i just got rid of the game..

probably pick r2 back up before r3 for story.. but as it stands for multiplayer r1 was good r2 sucked so a decent series..

Soo what's so good about it then? I heard the MP went to the COD world. Never tried the MP though.

I like the multiplayer and the massive enemies you face in the campaign

u just dont like it..thats cool.. ur opinion and all.. i LOVE the story and the weapons and the chimera and have no complaint about it... the mp could be better though which r3 seems to be improving.campzor

Its a really fun, fast paced FPS. The story is pretty good.

I agree with this.

i know its your opinion, but in my opinion i think the resistance series is great.... my favourie series on playstation 3 and i can't wait for the 3rd game!

The first one was great, the second was generic.

I only played the first one. It had its moments but it's still sitting half finished on my shelf.

Everything is opinion. Not everyone will find that series appeal to them. Like I don't see the hype of MGS or Gran Turismo.

Personally I like Resistance: Fall of Man, but dislike Resistance 2. And from the looks of the next one, I'm going to like Resistance 3.

I took me awhile to get into Resistance 1,longer than it takes me to get into most games. Then I loved it, not exactly sure why. Cool variety of enemies, enemies that take tons of ammo to take down, good graphics, good sound, plenty of environment variety, ample gun variety & very fun to play. Meh, who knows why it's considered a good game.

It sounds to me like you are internally measuring Resistance 1 against a different game you truly like, a game you haven't mentioned. I wouldn't be surprised if the game you aren't mentioning is a 360 game, & you are a regular commentor in system wars, & this is your attempt a starting a little cross-forum drama.

Maybe you just need to play Resistance 1 a little longer, or maybe you just don't like it. But seems a little odd you would start a discussion about something you don't like, inviting people to either side with or disagree with you (drama).

^And I'll agree with the Lion King avatar guy too.

The story, MP and SP in the first one was great. The second fell flat on its face. The massive enemies were pretty fun to fight though.

Resistance was driven by hype and I also fell for it. There is nothing special. Plain old FPS with terrible gameplay and story. The only thing I liked about it were the graphics but even then you were not given enough time to look around or given a reason to do so. Terrible exclusive and I for one would not buy R3.smtgfx

I agree mostly to what you said but there are other terrible exclusives out there. :D

Nah I'm not man. I havent tried much shooters when R1 came out but that was one of the few games that never really kept me going. I'm sorry if I may seem to look like a troll. I'm just stating my opinion and wondering if others feel the same way..

Not calling you a troll, was just kidding (system wars/drama comment). Thought my unfounded leap of assumption might make you laugh (absurd statements make me laugh). People always tell me I'm not funny, but I ignorethat & keep trying to be. Sorry you don't dig Resistance 1, it took me almost 2 levels to appreciate it.
