Wanted To Add Something

Due to an interesting exchange with one of my followers on my topic about preorders and game reviews HERE, thought I may add to that. In my gaming life, only two games were preordered, Mortal Kombat Trilogy, (I know that shows my age, but) & Resistance 3 for the PS3 in 2011. While I will not speak MK Trilogy, being a fine game for what it was before consoles went online, Resistance 3 will not get the same treatment.

 

For those who don’t know, the first Resistance was my gateway to other shooters, but the only one offering Custom button mapping, which I need being one handed. At first I wasn’t great at all, I’m not gonna say I was a god at it, but as time went by, my skill got better. Oh, there were parts I’d die on, but it was due to me screwing up.

 

Now 2011, Resistance 3 was brought home, popped in, making my custom button layout, which was not as good as 1 and 2, but passable. The campaign was started and played, dropping you right into thick battle, a plus. Health packs made a return, which for me was a plus and fault, but I might be off point. To me, the game felt rushed as sin, with bad color choices, character designs and graphics that looked….. Once you completed it, the ending wasn’t anything that felt like you put hours into and got any reward. That is why I will not plop down money for a game without reading some reviews or better yet, see what Steam users say.

 

That said, at a point, (not day 1), Tekken 7 for PC will be bought. However, reserving it just for the extra fighter seems like a waste, but that’s me. If they offer clothing as DLC, it will not be bought due to what I told my follower the other day, companies nickel and dime you to death over extra content and back in the day the base game kept me content.

 

Tomorrow I’ll talk about which fighter I’ll try to use and why.

Taking A Look Back At A Gaming Trilogy I Love Playing

Before starting, let me say that there isn’t many First Person Shooters on the market today that I can play with my good hand. And let the Call of Duty players comment on this, telling me I need to try the game, I tried it, the game is unplayable to me. Besides that, it seems like they rehash the same game year after year, so I have no interest in Call of Duty.

 

With that rant out of the way, onto the topic. After moving to the apt. complex that had the bike path through the woods, I decided to buy a PS3. While at my local Game Stop, buying the console, the girl who worked there, recommended two games to me, Resistance: FALL OF MAN & ES: Oblivion.

 

At the time, t had no idea what a first person shooter was, so looking back, I think Resistance was the first game I popped in. Looking at the controller settings, I saw that I could remap the whole button layout of the controller, making my own custom layout, which I did. After doing so, it was game on! While playing this kinda shooter, it blow my mind, because the graphics, AI and the sounds of the creatures seemed to creep me out! ^_^

 

Though it was a long time getting there, I beat the game, & it felt great! 🙂

 

 

Enter Resistance 2:

 

 

 

Even though I had it when the game came out, the game was on my shelf for a while. Sure, I’ve setup my custom button layout, but due to living in a house with my sister’s kids on my case, I couldn’t get into the game. As soon as things calmed & I could sit down, the case was opened. Boy, if the first Resistance was good, Resistance 2 stepped it up!

 

The game picked up where the first left off, but it didn’t take long before I was back killing Chimaria!!! I have no real gripe about R2, but having no health meter and you could only carry two guns felt off. Overtime, I beat the game.

 

Enter Resistance 3:

 

 

 

I hadn’t pre-ordered a game, since the Mortal Kombat Trilogy way back when, however when Game Stop where taking orders for Resistance 3, money was plopped down for it. At first, the game left a bad taste in my mouth, because Insomniac Games took out the health regen feature out, having me hunt for health packs as I fight. This took some getting use too, believe me. Now, Resistance 3 isn’t so bad!!

 

I still play and enjoy all three games, & though their old now, but to me, they are enjoyable!
