In Defense of Terminator: Resistance

[@Randalftown]

I love this game. It 100% captures the mood of the opening scene of the first movie and I’m here for it. Really a shame that they don’t do more with the property? The concept of being hunted by a single terminator could work so well both as a singleplayer experience (maybe vr) and a multiplayer among us/dbd thing

[@pimscrypt]

There are definitely some cool possibilities there. Since Resident Evil 7 in VR is one of the best video game experiences I've ever had, I'd gladly take a scary Terminator game in VR as well!

[@TheGamersGrotto]

The creators of the game have actually confirmed upcoming DLC for the game which looks like it may be exclusive to the remastered versions of the game on the PS5/Series X..

[@pimscrypt]

@@TheGamersGrotto I saw that! While I probably won’t make a video about the DLC, I’m very much looking forward to playing it!

[@kevinsachs314]

There was a DOS game that did exactly that. You picked either Kyle Reese or the T-800 and then hunted the other while trying to protect/kill Sarah. It's insane to me that no one has tried this again, especially since the Nemesis system in Resident Evil Remake 2/3.

[@searchingfororion]

@@kevinsachs314 Now you're making me even *more* sad that I don't have my DOSbox setup anymore. 😭 (Also, writing this reply made me realize my keyboard was still in German - that explains a few things... 😅)

[@DangerousDevilOfficial]

I have played through this now 3 times on PS4. I bought the Limited Run PS5 version. But still haven’t been able to get a PS5. So as soon as I do, I will do an entire new run though. I really, really like this game!

[@ProfessorFlowers]

"Chill it out take slow, and then you rock out the show~" Don't ask me how I know that.

[@ProfessorFlowers]

Oh wait, it's probably not clear that these are the next lines to the best of both worlds song lol

[@pimscrypt]

I’m very glad that you know them haha!

[@mranderson4739]

Terminator Resistance was a surprise and a joy to play

[@pimscrypt]

It really was!

[@THATGuy5654]

Of course he couldn't recognize his own voice! Most of us have grown up in an age where we've all heard our own voice in a recording, and had a chance to get used to the fact that we're all higher pitch than we think we are. You think kids mess around with tape recorders, camcorders, or cellphone videos in the post apocalypse? The fact that future him felt the need to try a little Batman voice was pretty adorable, though.

[@nichtschwert3307]

The bit with the door really got me. Hot damn, what a cool idea! Also the gunshot sound joke came out so much better than I ever could have hoped.

[@pimscrypt]

Yeah! I was genuinely surprised by how effective it was! The door was pretty cool too.

[@JeanLucMG]

Pim keeps releasing quality bop after bop, and I'm here for it

[@pimscrypt]

Thank you so much, that's very kind!

[@DavidJBradley]

I worked on that door for a year and... they just... opened it up.

[@pimscrypt]

Your efforts will never be forgotten.

[@SuperSweetBoy]

Great video! As someone who prefers the first film for its grungier feel and bleaker, more horror-like tone, this got me really interested in checking out Resistance. Can’t wait to see what Teyon does with their upcoming RoboCop game

[@sunjoexys7251]

The game's very flawed. Laughable character facial animations, clunky stealth mechanic, broken weapon upgrade system (once you get access to plasma weapons, all the other velocity-based weapons become obsolete instantly, for example), phoned-in climax and final "boss battle".... You name it. Yet it shows genuine love for T1 and T2. It boils down to this, if you are not a Terminator fan, the game is a 6.5-7/10 at best, but if you are a long-time Terminator fan who grew up with T1 and T2, this is a must-play.

[@temptationspiper]

Okay I had to laugh when we had the same reaction when it sunk in who that voice was, just Pim and I going 'Oh no...OOhhh nooooooo....'

[@pimscrypt]

It was literally my real world reaction when I figured it out haha!

[@saotiago]

your commentary about being pretty good about accepting flaws made me go 'yeeeeeah' because i have the same thing, specially with games. it's a finnicky medium to find things that work. and i always appreciate the effort on the devs part to even experiment a bit. also, yeah: terminator 1 is just the best. dark fate works with me a lot too bc it has the same beats and structure (except reese is a hot tall lady..... i was just bound to like it).

[@pimscrypt]

Mackenzie Davis is properly iconic in Dark Fate! I really hope she does more action stuff because she’s amazing at it!

[@ScottsGameAsylum]

TR rules and i didnt know about the t1000 referance. Great video Pim!

[@BobLogical]

I'm sad that games like this are slowly being choked out of the industry, but I'm glad they're still coming out for now.

[@pimscrypt]

It really makes you appreciate it even more once you happen to come across a game like this.

[@MrRaivokasMagma]

I forgot this game existed. But watching this reminded me of gaming video sites talking about that sex scene... But yeah, nice to hear what kind of a game it was actually was :D

[@pimscrypt]

I'm glad I could provide with that info!

[@SamanthaSaunderz]

Yeah this game was amazing! And I really loved this video it was awesome and described my feelings exactly. Funny enough this game made me get really bad motion sickness, I had to turn it off and sleep for the rest if the day. And because of that it became way scarier because I knew it could effect me IRL 🤣

[@pimscrypt]

Oh no! That must've sucked. I'm glad you managed to get through the game in the end though!

[@SamanthaSaunderz]

@@pimscrypt yeah it was odd. It felt like I was playing VR and I never knew why...

[@ProfessorFlowers]

The pumpkin head 😂

[@pimscrypt]

I love them so much!!

[@LostInTheFold]

COOL

[@pimscrypt]

Right?

[@FrokenKeke]

RIP Plastic cups

[@pimscrypt]

They never stood a chance against the skeleton robots.

[@FrokenKeke]

Their feet, too steppy.

[@vaniellys]

I'm pretty sure that the USA militaro-industrial complex is to blame for he creation of Skynet.

[@pimscrypt]

Indeed. And the US military, whether they like to admit it or not, will put their capitalist interests above all others every time.

[@chrisdiokno5600]

Resistance is fun

[@MsSaskue360]

It is the best thing terminator has done since terminator 2, and I like terminator 3 and even salvation, everything after that is trash until resistance came out, dark fate is the worst film in the entire franchise

[@ChissHansen]

Why is this titled a "Defense" of Terminator Resistance? Are there people out there who *don't* like this game?

[@pimscrypt]

There've been some fairly positive reviews. Personally I find it to be better than critics have given it credit for though. Not to dunk on IGN as a whole, but I found the IGN review in particular to be WAY too harsh. Probably the harshest out of all the reviews of the game.
