Didn't InFAMOUS: SS get the same mixed reviews as the other two? The other two were great and turned out fine. Not everyone will like super hero games.

I bought the other two and platinumed them both.

Let's give the game 6 months of selling and then make our judgement.

Sucker Punch only have themselves to blame. If they'd removed the story, made sure the framerate drops regularly, added tearing and made it online only, the scores would have been much better.

Thats funny. Thank you for the laugh. Lol, so true. Stupid sucker punch.

If they had also made it unavailable in Africa, it would have got 5/5 from Sessler.

Lol... what score did stiffler give it?

No multiplayer will be the first thing people start complaining about.

Flop? How? I can't wait! Dude all games (Besides Dark Souls) have been scoring lower than expected. This is the start of a new gen, and so there are higher standards. (AS ALWAYS)

Yup, 86 is a masterpiece and 81 is a total disaster. Seems like guys who's console of choice will never win a generation are just posting crap out of anger now. Last I checked an 81 is a B average. Same goes for an 86. You guys wanted Titanfall to rate above 90 and sell countless XBOX Ones but when neither happened you need something to point your aggression and sadness toward. It's actually quite sad lol.

This thread wasn't made by an MS fan... Why even bring MS and Titanfall into this?

3/5 and if you listen to the review, you can see he had issues with Sony:
