Dropped it shortly after getting to Skyhold. I remember liking this game in 2014, but it just doesn't hold up for me. Terrible padding with power system. Open world zones are filled with boring and repetitive content. The biggest sin is the combat. The combat is just not fun or engaging. Enemies are just so tanky. This isn't thoughtful tactics gameplay or fun action it's just busy work. It mixes the two and ends up being a poor action game and poor attempt to say it still has tactics like origins.

This is one of those games I hate dearly.

There was a time that I was obsessed with collecting as much as ps3 exclusive games as possible, because other than japan studio's games, almost every other ps3 exclusive is dirt cheap and also I thought exclusive = quality. But you see this game proved me wrong even tho actually this game is not that different compared to that era's fps games.

You know actually at surface level, it uses samey rules where gears of war, killzone etc. uses. Hella spongy enemies, million amount of waves of enemies, vehicle sections, turret sections, a campaign that balanced for coop not for singleplayer and saying war is bad hrrr drrrrr angry constantly.

But what makes resistance a failure is, it just doesn't have any character. Bland zombie like Aliens? Check. Gruff angry bald main soldier character that I can't even remember his name of? Check. Friendly? characters that you will literally forget the moment you close the game? Check. Samey looking environment like town houses and churches? Check.

You will probably want to counter this with saying "look at the interesting weapons!" To me. But I will also counter this with how bad and samey every one of them feels "to you". Think about a game where using a shotgun or machine gun have the same kill time. This sentence alone gives my feeling about them. I mean maybe later levels give good weapons but for me? They are damn boring because for me none of them have any big advantages maybe other than the one weapon that can shoot from the walls that just enables you to cheese the game as long as you have the bullets for it. Yay. That's what fun right? Cheesing the game?

Then the question is, is there nothing else that this games does new? I think there is one... And that is dynasty warriors levels of enemy numbers. Think about any shooter game, it's probably have 5-10 enemies per combat zone right? But this game have 50 per combat level! And all of them have lots of health!... Is this sounds fun to you? No. No it's not. It's just fu##s the pace even further beyond the realm of this universe of this already bland game.

But still... This doesn't make this game bad right? I mean it's still a working fps game after all. But you see, I review games with looking at my enjoyment, not how good they function or perform good with stable fps. So what I mean is this games bores me to tears to the point stopping me from playing the rest of the game.

Normally I don't like saying this but I just can't see the love of this game. You either love this game for it's multiplayer that I can't experience anymore or you played it as a child. Or your standards are low as the any forgotten underground cave maybe.
