>My guess is, normie GTA faggots who were obsessed with Guerilla were upset that it was no longer open world and boycotted it. I can't think of any other reason to dislike this awesome game.

it just wasn't good

>>382771450
Okay, why is that? I bet you didn't even play it.

>>382771335
hate is too strong of a word

Maybe so, but the reaction wasn't exactly stellar. I mean, people bought it, but it failed badly enough in sales to pretty much fuck the series into the dirt. I've just never understood how people can get hyped over games like Gears or Vanquish and not a game like this, which leads me to believe that if more people actually played it, they'd realize it's insanely good.

>Red Faction
>Cover art is blue

That's a tell tale sign right there. Should have stuck with first person corridor shooter.

Guerilla had a red cover art and that was about as far removed from a traditional RF game as you could get, destruction aside. Not accounting for the third person view, RFA is the RF3 that never was in almost every way, and it's better too.

nah i played it
wasn't as fun as guerilla despite the better physics and graphics
story was also worse and it felt like there wasn't as much shit to break

>story was also worse and it felt like there wasn't as much shit to break
>can literally destroy anything other than the walls containing the level itself
Yeah, you didn't play it, or at least not for very long.

that's your opinion

Because it was a shit game you fucking idiot, everything you said was either factually untrue or biased opinions that you formed because it was your first fucking third person shooter or something.
Shit like "100% perfect third person shooting controls that put games like Gears and Vanquish to complete fucking shame".
You've obviously played neither or are baiting.

I didn't mind it, I'd actually say it's about the same as Guerrilla.
The empty open world really brought Guerrilla down, while the aliens were ass and way too common for my liking in Armageddon.

>took the series back to its roots with more focused, linear environments
>one of the most impressive environment destruction engines in any action game ever made
>nanoforge literally lets you both destroy and repair any object or structure in the environment
Sure

>one of the best weapon arsenals in any game ever made
I wouldn't go that far

>fantastic weapon changing and progression system
There were weapon upgrades? Honestly can't remember. Maybe something like carry more ammo

>great graphics, great voice acting, cheesy but loveable story
No, not really

>100% perfect third person shooting controls that put games like Gears and Vanquish to complete fucking shame
Okay now you're just shitposting
