Resistance: Burning skies poor rating

Humph, I thought was pretty damn good for a PS Vita exclusive but according to Metacritc.com It got a user score of 6.4 out of 10 and a score 60 out of 100 because of the ‘boring level design’… level design my ass!, do you see any other handheld with this much content and level design? no!. Now that Is just a horrible score for a game like this. (1st party vita title) Personally I thought It was real good not only graphically, but gameplay, level design, audio.

But what Is the real problem with Resistance: ? Well, nothing really. The campaign Is decent, short, but decent story.  Except the Multiplayer Is horrible right now, Iv played 2 matches and that was pure luck. Resistance has a ‘matchmaking’ feature (which sucks but I can deal with It) and every time I try and get matched up for a game It says:

“Room connection failed

Connection to room timed out”

which a patch will come out sooner or later. The critic score seems like It’s based off a child’s spoiled dream for a handheld. There Is 6 levels, maybe 30-45 minutes long (at least for me, sometimes shorter times) no loading times in a level which Is great. Full cut scenes (and comic) It has all this plus .

The Vita Is a powerful little device but It does have It’s limitations. And It all depends on the developer of what he/she wants In the game. Other than the multi-player with It’s errors (which will be fixed) Id give this game a 9.1. So many features for this game and people have to complain lol.

Notes from @NihilisticInc on twitter:

@NihilisticInc
Network problem was caused by firmware issue that was rare on test servers but is widespread on retail. Should have been caught.

@NihilisticInc
A patch is with SonyQA to address the MP connection issues. We apologize for the delay. Once we have an ETA from Sony we will post it.

    I agree, the reviews had been holding back my purchase of this game, of which, even though insomniac didn’t make, I was looking forward to, as a huge fan of the whole resistance series including retribution.  However, after playing the demo, I feel the reviews are false.  It is damn good.  What bothers me, is that is taught against Halo, Killzone, Battlefield, and even the other Resistance games on current consoles.  I admit, it could have looked better, but graphics aren’t everything.  The game runs really well, and is fun.  I will probably buy the game, so way to go Nihilistic Software!

    THIS is the reason why I couldn’t stand those game reviews even though I’m really looking forward to this game! That’s just great. BLASHPHEMY!

    Thank you very much….Your opinion is respectable by me…so your post got me 1 step closer to buying this game..,.

     ill take your word for it, i see other reviews and they hate it but the gameplay looks awesome!! so i always wonder, thnx for sharing!

  • MGO_Vet

    Look, this Is all a personal opinion. I love the game. If you want a quality handheld game get this game. It’s not a PS3 quality game but It IS crazy good for a handheld. Although even with the new patch that was released for the multiplayer, there Is still errors, like at the end of a match the whole game will freeze for about a minute, maybe even longer then It will show the results for the match.

    The multiplayer Is crap on this game, they picked the worst levels for multiplayer, to cramped, to small, just over all bad. I still win but it’s so awkward to even get real good at the online feature. It’s basically an enhanced multiplayer PSP experience. And should not be taken seriously. Campaign IS epic, nuff’ said.

    Personally from what I gathered from the demo, I feel the game was rushed. Taking into consideration the short amount of time they had to put it together, I think it’s great. I dunno about the full length of the campaign cuz I haven’t brought it yet, but the gameplay is fairly solid. Graphics are pretty good. nothing amazing, but they are good enough. the game does have some graphical glitches as well, typically where corners meet ‘n stuff like that which is something I’d expect from a PC game before a console game :/ I’ve heard others complain about the gun sound effects. They don’t bother me, but apparently it’s an issue for some. The story seems fairly decent. I was a little disappointed in the difficulty as I played the demo on the hardest mode and once you get a hang of how the guns work, it’s still a breeze to tear through the demo. I’d give it a 7.5 or 8 cuz it’s far from the quality of a true 10/10 game, but at the same time it’s not bad. I’d buy it before I’d buy unit13. The game looks pretty creative, it’s fun from what I played, it offers a full multiplayer experience (online and local), I mean what more can you really ask for?? The guns have secondary fire modes and very creative styles of use that reminded me of unreal tournament. The games pretty boss, and they always have room to add on to it from patches in the future. So don’t let all the negative reviews sway you, the game looks pretty good and I intend to buy it when I can get up the dough. Game critics are getting pretty harsh these days so you can’t trust everything they say.

       That was very well said, but still not enough info for a person that hasn’t beat the game. I also hate the fact that the sensitivity Isn’t  high enough to move around quicker In multiplayer.  Iv had a few encounters that a player would be shooting me from behind and I can’t move fast enough to turn around and give em a swift HS.

    I think the developers couldn’t understand vita completely yet. This game is nice but it deserves its score (6.0 – .6.5) Eventually better games will come out so there’s nothing to worry :)

    What on earth? Have you really been playing THIS game? I usually find fun factors in most medicore and lower rated games there are but this one here made my ass bleed. I can say I’m offended how poor and rushed this game is. The further is play the gampaign the more frustrated I get how dull the game is. If it would even be fun to shoot enemies, but it honestly feels like shooting at cartboard figures. As it is, game could deserve maybe 6 for decent job, but how they handled the multiplayer is a major letdown. For handheld multiplayer it’s ok when it works properly, but it just isn’t. That last update made multiplayer almost unplayable and I feel bad how low the qualitity overall is around this game.

  • loslolol

    They have to solve these false reviews. How to solve it? Get better reviewers.

    “do you see any other handheld with this much content and level design?” yes, how about Uncharted: Golden Abyss

  • Halo Freak

    I bought the full game a couple days ago, and it’s really not half bad. It’s a real FPS for the Vita, and I feel it was executed in true Resistance fashion. Sure the campaign is short, but it’s good, and a good story is definitely worth something in this world ruled by Multiplayer-based video games. The multiplayer… Yeah, the matchmaking is awful, but I found that it was certainly still fun when you actually get into a game. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would give it a 7 to 8 out of 10.

  • PSVKINGPIN

    I must agree, its not a bad game, sure is a little plain but hey arent all fps games the same, your in a map, you gotta get from A to B and kill anything in the way.

    i like the graphics, its pretty ace for the fisrt psv fps, noticed a few graphical glitches tho, such as environment detail disapearing, but was very rare.

    controlls id say are pretty nice, didnt like the run button location (when you come to the escape ellis island level)

    over all i would give the game at least 7.5 out of 10, its not perfect but it isnt rubbish either.

    Too many hackers online I was getting killed by melee from across the map so gay need to fix
