We should discuss why this thread is a flop. The answer is: It's too stupid to be serious and it's not funny at all to be trolling. 2 out of 10 "uninspired".


as many thread lately... 

I suggest to read the IGN review, for the ones who didn't buy the Game yet.  It's a great Game, IGN gave it 8.7/10 !

Great reviews don't matter. Bad ones do. To people who want to say the game is bad anyway. I've never actually met a person who's wanted a game but allowed a review to sway their opinion. I'm sure all the people who wanted to buy Infamous won't now because it's rated 8/10 on Metacritic.

sooo right mate.

These discussion/silly comments based on Meta 80%-82% is just food for silly people who don't know how to spend their time.

Of course gamers are buying Infamous, they have better things to do than wasting time reading such garbage... they just want to play a very good and funny game which looks marvellous :)

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.

Sounds like you are on the defensive because Titanfall got higher.

We predicted Titanfall to land where it is because lacking a campaign would hold it back. The X1 is only 5 months old and you expected us to believe it would skyrocket X1 sales past PS4 globally? Learn thy enemy because you know nothing from what I see.

If anything you are pointing your aggression at us because your own fan group mishyped your own game.

I'm so confused. LMFAO

I quietly watched Infamous SS closely and told myself I wouldn't be surprised if it got an 8...

I won't claim that I can prove that anywhere, but it turned out to be a hollow adventure it seems. It's sad that people bash Nintendo for "playing it safe", and most reviews are saying Infamous SS plays it safe, haha

Infamouse would have been a flop regardless of its Metacritic. This thread has been in planning since Final Fantasy Versus XIII XV.

The Sarcastic "I Have Seen All the Stupid Sony Fan Comments About Frame Rate and Resolution" Comment:

I know why it rated in the low 80's...

The frame rate is 30 fps... Didn't the Sony Defense Force say that all games have to be 60 fps to be any good this generation?

Well, at least the checked off the 1080p requirement....

How disappointing, Sucker Punch can't make a game run at 60 fps... Guess they are just garbage developers...


My Real Comment:

What did everyone expect? inFamous has never come close to the 90's on Metacritic. People need to realize that this is a Sony fan base game. Meaning it appeals to core Sony PS fans. And there is nothing wrong with that... inFamous is to PS what Crackdown is to XB. It won't sell like Uncharted and Halo, but there is a solid fanbase for this franchise out there.

As far as I'm concerned Sucker Punch delivered the right game and it will go on to sell solidly. 81 on Metacritic is probably a bit lower than what they were shooting for, but 81 doesn't disappoint... GT6, Jak and Dexter Collection, BF4, and GoW Ascension all were 80-81... Nothing wrong with being in that group of games from a ratings perspective.



Reviews don't determine a flop. Sales do. DERP!



Watch a 5 minute youtube video of 2nd Son and you have pretty much seen everything the game has to offer. Its an average game which stays true to the series.
