ever rant about InFamous?

I'm just curious, I think InFamous is a really underappreciatted title, and probably the best IP Sony has after Gran Turismo and Uncharted, but it's only doing alright in terms of sales, and I rarely see it in debates?

2. Also why do you guys like God of War and Killzone so much? I mean, I know everytone has their own preferences, but God of War outsells all other hack and slash games by quite a margin (Devil May Cry 1 is second selling nearly 3 million, most compeditors sell around 1 where GoW is 5 million average). Killzone on the other hand sells only alright, yet it has a strong fanboy backing.

3. Also are you worried about the future of all three of these franchises? God of War Ascension's metascore was only an 80, a full 12% lower then God of War 3, and Killzone 3 was an 84, which is still good, but a full 7% lower then Killzone 2. Are you worried that Killzone SF and InFamous SS might not compare to their PS3 counterparts?

I think your math is bad (80+12%=89.6, 84+7%=89.88 =P). That being said, inFamous is pretty good. I have both games and am awaiting the next one for PS4. I don't really care if people buy it or not, or if they go on a rant about it. I don't know why you should.

Whoops, I meant 12 points. 92/100-12/100 = 80/100. I'm just used to seeing 80/100 expressed as 80%, too much math for today.

People should rant about it because ranting builds hype, and hype builds sales, and sales justify for higher budgets in sequels. Plus if forums are filled with people ranting about InFamous, then the ocassional Sony dev that strolls by can see that the hardcore want more InFamous (just like the hardcore Nintendo fans want XenoBlade), and will make sure to deliver a good one, even if sales aren't spectacular.
