User blog comment:Drgyen/Did Burning Skies Kill the Resistance Franchise?/@comment-75.21.152.123-20140202064910

I just beat the first Resistance:Fall of Man for the first time in years and it's a fun shooter and all, but that's it. Maybe Nathan Hale gets better as a character, but in RFoM he is a nonentitiy. I'm going to borrow my friends Resistance 2 soon and we'll see, but there are no characters at all to speak of in RFoM. As for the minutiae you spoke, 'A' for effort, but 'F' for results. None of the "intels" make any sense (The intels for Leapers and Leaper Pods literally contradict eachother). And the plot is nonsensical too. The overarching background and lore is something out of a Harry Turtledove novel. Anyway though, a very fun shooter that puts up an illusion of a well-planned, thought out world behind it, but is ultimately hollow in that regard. Defintely Recommend though!!!
