Resistance 1

[ckenisell]

Now that Resistance is in the greatest hits category, I'm thinking about picking it up. Before I was a platform gamer, I was a PC gamer (I could play high def games YEARS before the 360 or PS3 could). I enjoyed first person shooters such as Half Life 2 and the episodes that followed. I liked HL because of the story mode and how innovative it was (awesome textures, weapons, character animation, physics-based environment puzzles, etc.)

When I briefly picked up Resistance on a buddies PS3, I noticed all kinds of texture pixelation (in the shrubs at the beginning of the game) and pretty much put it down. I didn't really like trying to use the controller to play a FPS.

However, with all the buzz about this game, at a price point of $29.99, I might be interested. Will the storyline pull me into the game if I play further into it? Or is it just a bunch of running around shooting monster aliens (like Doom III)? I think I could live without that.
