Meh reviews are solidifying my personal decision to go Xbone before PS4. Seems people have issues with the story and last gen gameplay, exactly what I was worried about watching gameplay videos. I mean hey it looks pretty but does it PLAY any different than Infamous on PS3? Apparently not.


So the series at the very least caters to its fan.  That's a good thing.

Called it. I knew it was gonna be low 80s just because it's an inFamous game. I knew that it would have awesome scores but a good amount were gonna give it average scores because it's an inFamous game just like last time.



Uff is flop worldwide reviews. I will play sure...



As a nintendo fanboy myself I gotta say this game does look cool

Why would anyone want it to? The infamous series had amazing gameplay in the first place. Seems they have simply refined the formula and added a diverse list of new powers, which is precisely what fans wanted. Most of the complaints seem to be about the lack of weight behind the morality system, and lack of diversity in side mission. Not the gameplay itself. You shouldn't have an issue with that, since the complaints about lack of diversity was held by TF too.

I'm curious though, if 81 represents "meh reviews", does TF's 86 represent "pretty okay" to you? ^^ You must have hated Dead Rising D:

Review wise both console are sitting in about the same place. Excluding TF (which is available to anyone with a mediocre PC, and soon anyone with a 360), neither have particularly excelled at all in reviews. The X1's highest rated proper exclusive if Forza 5 at 80, and the PS4's is (presently) 81 with inFamous. Choosing a console based on reviews would be pretty silly at this point.


You're harping on the metascore. I was referring to the actual content of the reviews. But its a personal opinion. I wasnt a fan of Infamous 2 at all. To read that the writing and gameplay are about the same level is a deal breaker for me. Others can feel differently.

Would buy it if I had a PS4, but I'll hold off now until ND release something.



I'm only getting this if it retains above an 80 meta.
Will check back tomorrow around this time to see if it changes...

Personally I've never been a fan of Infamous. Played 1 and 2 and couldn't get into them. Second Son is not a system seller for me. I'm surprised the first two have a high meta to begin with.



I was walking down along the street and I heard this voice saying, "Good evening, Mr. Dowd." Well, I turned around and here was this big six-foot rabbit leaning up against a lamp-post. Well, I thought nothing of that because when you've lived in a town as long as I've lived in this one, you get used to the fact that everybody knows your name.

You talk like that is a bad thing.

It needs next gen gameplay! Whatever next gen gameplay even means...



Pretty much exactly what I expected, I think I said 82. Titanfall I thought like 88 and it got 86. 5 pts off GOTG is not to bad.
