Forums - Sony - So Infamous is a flop: why did Sucker Punch fail?

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

So an Infamous game plays like an Infamous game? How horrible. It's the 3rd game in the series, that isn't the time for any massive changes or evolutions. It should be a refinement of the formula which is exactly what the game is.

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.

So games in the 80's are average?

Apparantly you can experience the whole game in a five minute video! Really opened my eyes there.

Oh yea, well you're a flop!!



4 ≈ One

80 Metacritic is just fine. Great game, for the ones who love fps, specially

81 is by no means a flop. If it is, then the majority of next gen games have been flops. This is stupid.



I don't feel that Second Son nor Titanfall are flops they just didn’t live up to the arguably unrealistic exceptions put upon them to be must own 10/10 metacritic mythical system sellers.



I'm going to go on the record saying I bought and am playing Infamous and it is by no means a bad game. If you loved 1 and 2 you will love this. Delsin is not as cool or likeable of a character, and they don't allow for user created content. These facts do not make this game an inherently bad game. It's really fun just like the other 2. 8-8.5 / 10. It will sell really well I bet too.  The other Infamous games were awesome but by no means 10 / 10.  Sidenote:  Titanfall is excellent too and will not flop in sales.

Classic fallback response ;)

So you don't know how they work? 

Oh I do. Bias always wins out. But at least objectively a Xbox fan can make the case that it has a superior AAA retail selection over the PS4.

You can objectively make the case based on subjective evidences?

That bias you speak of... very cute of you.

Late to the party, read most of the thread and wanted to respond to the same comment. I do hope everyone just enjoys whatever they are playing but that comment really made me laugh, calling metacritic numbers objective for the sake of 'winning' an argument.
