Simple question, difficult answer. With the recent metacritic reviews coming in Infamous Second Son has an average of 81; or a flop by AAA game standards. Where did Sucker Punch go wrong? It's obvious that the 54 critics on metacritic all agreed with one thing: The story sucks. 

It's a shame really. But I guess with Titanfall failing to be a great game with a score of 90+, we should have expected this. The next gen simply isn't very next gen if it can't even produce 90+ games on Metacritic because as we all know; great games must have at least a 90+ score to be great. 

Put simply: Infamous: Second Son is a flop; as is Titanfall. I guess we're still waiting for the first truely "next gen game". 

Discuss why Infamous is a flop in your opinion. 

*Disclaimer: I have not played infamous nor Titanfall. I am simply assuming they are bad games based on their subpar 90 meta-scores as most gamers should*

Um.....Xbox fans predicted Titanfall to score exactly where it is.

Really? I wasn't following TF but after all the hype from both gaming media and Xbox fans I expected an easy 90+ meta. Maybe after playing the beta people knew it's not that good.

We rightfully predicted that a lacking campaign would hold it back.
