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.

Nu-uh!!! Towerfall Ascension is a 90 metacritic! PS4 GOTY


Towerfall is not a truely next gen game. It was ported from PC and everybody knows PC has no gen.

If only it was 82%. It would be a success. Too bad :(

81% meta = flop and shit sales

82% meta = success and millions of sales!

The difference 1% makes!

No Carl, you are just a dirty peasant who does not have any taste nor standard in games, and you play games that are below 97 metacritic. You should be ashamed, quite frankly I'm disgusted :-/



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!
