Buying resistance - opinions please

Recommended Posts

I've just ordered Resistance and wondered what everyone thought of it. How does it compare with the orginal game (OFP Gold Edition)?

I just got it for my birthday a few days ago. I am hooked beyond belief, and the island of nogova is a far superior battle feild to the old maps. Its also by far the biggest.

The best $60 (or whatever it was) I've ever spent...OFP was really good, but Resistance adds a whole new dimension to it. Nogova's size and new buildings/vegetation etc. will keep you amused for a long time. I've had it for a few months now, and I still haven't explored every bit of it. Without Res. you wouldn't be able to use some of the great new addons coming out as well...

Apart from the above, what makes it so special - can you give me some more info - i.e. are the missions any good? and what about the graphics?

I haven't played many of the campaign missions myself, but from what I've played they seem just as, if not more, involved than the original OFP campaign - it just draws you in. Plus the additional gameplay elements of having to conserve/gather/steal equipment makes it that much more in-depth.

The graphics are a step above the OFP:CWC graphics, although to have the really top-notch settings running the game smoothly, you'll need a ridiculously fast computer. Still, the graphics are much better than before - the textures are much more detailed, and the light effects are great.

Anyway, since you have it on order, i'd wait until it comes and see what it has - discovering new features is half the fun smile.gif

Thanks for the info Mr. Snrub. Resistance is supposed to be arriving today so I'll give it a go when I've got a few (continuous) hours to spare. I've just got a nice new 21-inch monitor and I can't wait to see what OFP looks like on it. smile.gif

If you have a low-end system, resistance WILL suck. But if you don't, well, it's good. Way better than the original.

-better graphics

-pistols

-larger island

etc... xmas.gif

Yes it's certainly BIG - colossal in fact!!! The box is so huge I can literally get inside and close the lid (no, I'm not exaggerating). It's an IBM P275 flat screen aperture grille CRT job - stupidly expensive but absolutely stunning image quality - incredibly bright and razor sharp.

Even on low res it's looks fantastic - best picture I've ever seen on a PC monitor (and I've seen a few as I work in television). I can't stop looking at the thing so it was well worth the money. (Have a look at IBM's site for a pic).

Having said all that, it is mind-boggingly heavy, an instant hernia job. I can barely lift the thing and now I'm going to have to reinforce the floor!!!

Still, who cares, this is a stunning piece of kit - did I say that already?

Just thank the stars that it doesn't require it's own cooling system. tounge.gif

Good point!

Seriously though, it actually runs pretty cool - it's been on continuously now for around 5-6 hours and I'd say it's no hotter than a 15 inch.
