Let's Talk About The Inconsistent Yet Fun Red Faction: Guerilla

Fuck poly-count, fuck dynamic lighting and anti-aliasing, Skate 2 looks like shit because you can't do budget grunge.

Skate looked pretty good because everything was clean, and so even a low-resolution texture could be stretched into infinity and look okay. Skate 2 tries the same thing, but uses low-resolution textures smeared with what may be rust, or mud, or whatever else is dirty. They stretch that into infinity, and instead of looking okay it looks absolutely fucking terrible. The game is UGLY. All of the buildings look identical, all of the grunge elements look like blurry vomit. It was like skateboarding in a world where, sometime during the course of your prison sentence, everyone everywhere collectively got sick over everything, which in hindsight was probably a good fucking idea.

Not only does Skate 2 look totally terrible, some of its "innovations" are totally the pits! I kind of liked being able to skate wherever I wanted, pull off sick combos down the Rez, etc. etc. I would almost be allowed to do that in Skate 2, except someone thought it would be really cool if I spent my hard-earned money on some douchebag with a crowbar to make the places I want to skate, skatable. I sure am glad skateboarding isn't the main focus of the game, otherwise it would be seen as very un-cool that I have to pay to FUCKING SKATEBOARD.

Guys, I just got done driving the armor truck through Sensor Array Towers and at one point I Jumped a rather wide Ravine, crashing through a tower on the way through the air and landed on a soldier. I then peeled out on his face.

man not even the right thread for it but how stingy are you that this is a complaint, by the end of the game your funbux equal something like $2mil and you can also freeskate, like, everywhere in the freeskate mode

Y'know what I don't like?

Everything humanly possible.

I beat the game a while ago and have still been playing it. I enjoy pissing off the EDF enough that they will send those big-assed missile tanks for me to steal and wreak havoc with.

But there is a definite screw up in the AI. It is less "let's flank this dude and work as a team" than "let's spawn just out of eye line until there are thousands of us, even if that literally means spawning behind the player while he is in a position where there is no possible way to approach him from behind and then walk towards him while shooting until he runs out of ammo and eventually dies trying to kill all seventy thousand of us with a hammer."

Additionally, the colonists will casually drive off of bridges that you've destroyed. Plus, the bridges will sometimes repair themselves, but the autonav doesn't realize it. Plus, sometimes parts of buildings will magically be supported by themselves. For instance, A huge chunk of a building being supported by one of the girders in the roof, even though all the parts of the building that touch the ground have been destroyed.

THE BADLANDS. It takes roughly five full minutes to get from your base to any other notable location.

I totally let all the bad crap slide though, because the game had exactly what I wanted;  the ability to place explosives on a garbage truck that has a rocket launcher mounted to the top of it, drive up an embankment, ramp into the air, fire a missile into the side of a building, slam the vehicle into the building, crushing everything, flee the scene, and detonate the explosives, leveling the entire structure.

TL;DR- The game has a ton of flaws that range from hilarious to outright infuriating but it is still hells of fun.
