Why is everybody so retaliatory and angry? A game is an aesthetic experience; everyone's impressions will be unique. He is not saying INFAMOUS IS BAD DO NOT BUY he's just saying that, from his experience, it fell short in a few areas. Which is completely fair and believable.

I do not understand people who blindly defend games as if they are their first born child, particularly when they are games they have not yet played. So for whatever reason you're blindly devoted to Sony, and for whatever reason this means that you extend your blind zeal to all the over-hyped games coming out for the PS3. Still no reason to attack a guy for being underwhelmed by a game that, in all likelihood, would be an underwhelming experience for many gamers out there.

Games with Meta scores of 40 can be a blast for some people, while other gamers will never, ever find anything fun about the 98-averaging GTA 4.

You guys need to stop judging a games quality by how good you want it to be, but by simply by how much you enjoy it. Allow yourself to be disappointed by a hyped up title every once and a while. It's really not that excruciating. There's more to life than overhyped titles fulfilling their overbuilt promise.

 

You have got to be kidding...................

The reason why so many people are on him is because he claimed to have rented the game (It's not even out yet BTW), and he complains about it after playing it for two hours. And I'm pretty sure he was playing the demo. If so, you really shouldn't do a review off of a demo, mainly because most demos of awesome games usually suck (Valkria Chronicles) and most demos are usually 10-15 minutes. I'd rather listen to someone who played the game for more than 10 hours than listen to someone who probably played the demo for only 2

BTW, I love how in your 2nd paragraph you say we are all devoted to Sony and inFAMOUS is over-hyped because it's a PS3 exclusive

 

 

Yeah, you do realize this is a Sony thread, right? I'd say the same thing for Nintendo/Microsoft if this was some Wii or 360 exclusive. I hate fanboyism, I hate hyping, and I hate blind retaliatory anger, all of which were on prominent display in this thread. Give the guy the benefit of the doubt; why would he lie? If he is, whatever; no reason to explode with anger. He didn't make any claims that were all that incendiary.

Look: not everone's gonna love every great game. Maybe it's too hyped, maybe it's not, but some people aren't going to give a damn about inFamous. Even he's lying, why should you all care so much? It's just one persons (potentially fabricated) opinions; they mean nothing.
