OMG sometimes the nazis are behind stuff with machine guns instead of rifles!

  in enemies in the first two hours of the game.
  Also, I played Ninja Gaiden Black. I don't see a reason to spend $60 more for a game I've already played, especially if using the PS3 controller will just leave my thumb like a claw.

    There was literally no difference in the enemies in cod2 during the course of the entire game.
    Did you try out the demo?

    - My major problem (none / 0)
      
      was the art design. It was weak at best.
      I didn't realize there was a Ninja Gaiden demo up. I'll check it out. But I can't see paying that much money for a game I'd already played unless it blows me away. Then again, I never finished the original.

      was actually fun. I really enjoyed it from the get-go. Resistance wasn't fun. The guns had literally no weight to them. It's something that not a lot of shooters do well.
      The Darkness missed it too, IMO.

        in COD2 used snipers, bazookas, tanks. Many different tactics as well from many different ranges. Rfom was like playing wack-a-mole.

        I get the feeling that Mel didn't play Resistance or he'd know what I was talking about :-)

        No, you're right, but I can imagine what the game is like. Bad guys need to be shot, tougher enemies are introduced later in the game, you get cooler weapons as you progress...

        There is a difference, but the core gameplay is usually pretty close. The most notable differences aside from things like art direction and narrative, are like enemy a.i. and tightness of the controls. But they're still all pretty much down that guy before he downs you.

        That is what a shooter should be, but taking two formulaic first person shooters and calling one repetitive is like the pot calling the kettle black.

        isn't that because they're in the same genre? I mean, in a music genre, the artists are generally relatively the same. When I turn on a rock radio station, I don't want to here Celine Dion, right? What the hell do you want from a shooter Mel?

        because with GEARS, that is refering to the cover element of the game.

        definitely don't think The Darkness missed it. Did you ever end up getting the Darkness guns?

        I didn't get the darkness guns (none / 0)
        
        I only wound up playing a couple of hours. I will go back to it when I have some time. But probably not anytime soon. I didn't like the feel of the normal guns in the Darkness at all.
        I've shot guns before and I guess that's why I'm so particular about the "feel" of them. I know my brother is nuts about that too which is one of the reasons I love Gears so much. Halo too.

        i never really used the weapons once i got powers. That's why multiplayer was so bad (on top of lag)

        at school. I just didn't have a problem with The Darkness' guns, especially the heavier ones like the Assault Rifle or the Combat and Riot Shotguns. I guess I can't really find a noticeable difference between the feel of the guns in The Darkness as compared to Gears or Halo or any other game.
