bauhaus Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 The first one was great, I don't know what you're talking about. The second one was horrible. I dont know, besides the "terrain destruction" novelty, the game was kinda generic for me. Never played the original Red Faction, was around the same time Quake was rolling out as one of the top FPS games in it's time. That and Unreal. Will be picking it up though to see what i've been missing out on I suppose. :yes: Quake? Dont you mean Half-Life? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayepecks Posted June 8, 2009 Author Share Posted June 8, 2009 How's the terrain destruction, can we still dig our way through mountains and walls? There is none, it's all buildings now. It actually works better, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramsy66 Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I'm at the end of the game. I only have 1 more sector to liberate and then (I presume) the story side is finished, and I will really concentrate on doing the guerilla actions, which include the raids and destruction challenges. I wish it let me play with the building destruction more. If you blow up a building, and then go back to it later it'll still be destroyed. That means, once you've blown everything up, that's it... or if you had alot of fun taking a particular building down, well you'll just have to keep that good memory because you won't be able to do it again! It would've been great if they added a mode like the glass house in the first Red Faction, just a big stretch of land with loads of buildings and unlimited explosives and all you do is have some fun with the destruction physics. It's like the euphoria engine in GTA IV, it's so awesome but you can't just mess around with it without cops coming after you or without wasting ammo/health. Why not let us play with these awesome things freely?! However I've been thoroughly enjoying the game, gets a solid 8.5/10 from me so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayepecks Posted June 8, 2009 Author Share Posted June 8, 2009 Yeah, that is kind of annoying. Just IMO, what this game has improved over GTA: - Weapons and gunplay - Cover - Vehicle driving - Time between missions/actions - Graphics - The obvious (destruction) - Save anywhere What it doesn't have: - Great storyline/cutscenes (for me, this is a plus) - Tons of weapons - Tons of vehicles Haven't tried multiplayer yet.

ramsy66 Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Zero Punctuation does Red Faction Something tells me he wasn't playing on casual. It's alot more fun on casual because you can actually have fun destroying stuff without being killed so easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy can never win, people complain about him playing on the 'easier' difficulty levels and now it's bad since he's playing on the harder ones :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally don't agree with him saying that Red Faction 1 was terrible. It was a brilliant game. It's just his opinion though, just like I have mine.

Sethos Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Oh yeah, Red Faction 1 was amazing but I was playing the PC version, not sure how the console version compares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waylander Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 RF1/2 sucked even on pc, they had a great idea with the geomod thingy then hardly let you use it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayepecks Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 Red Faction 1 didn't suck by any stretch of the imagination :p I don't see how they hardly let you use the technology -- you could do almost anything to the terrain. It was amazing for its time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tharp Daddy Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Just got this game today, it's quite awesome. Multiplayer is fun too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayepecks Posted July 27, 2009 Author Share Posted July 27, 2009 Multiplayer really surprised me. It's so much better than the beta on the 360 was. That thing was just not good at all... but now it rocks! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ichi Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Just bought this game, and so far is great but I think I've run into some kind of glitch a couple of times: when driving a vehicle, usually when attacking something with a guerrilla, sometimes the vehicle suddenly thrusts forward at full speed. I'm not even hitting the gas, and I can't brake either. It only happened a couple of times, and it was fun anyway as going full speed I was able to climb any mountain, make some huge jumps and run through any building :laugh: It stopped when crashing hard into the ground after one of those jumps though.

StealMySoda Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Annoying issue that a lot of people are having on the PC version while play with 5.1 sound means that the different channels are all on full blast and you cant hear anything but the wind of the dessert. Means I have to play in stereo. Volition has acknowledged it's an issue but no dates for a fix yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObiWanToby Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 So is this game worth 40 bucks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Red Faction 1 to me pushed PS2 to it's limits in the form of the GEOMOD. Red Faction 2 was ok, just wished Red Faction Guerrilla was FPS.. and it's abit too open road.. enjoyed the game, nearly completed the game. Less then 16hrs playing time.
