Its not a flop. It's story is what killed it. The weight of the decisions that you make do not bear down enough on the story. I will find out for myself.


So you haven't played it? How do you know the weight of decisions do not carry through?

To me it comes down to hype and expectations... Both Titanfall & Infamous were looked at as showcasing NEXT GEN and so reviewers expected more than what they were given. Comparing these games to last gen, and both are most likely 90+. Expectations were just too high

Was anyone expecting the story to be good?


I was and I still do. Then again I'm not as crticial as other people when it comes to games and story I'm easily amused so to speak. When gamestop was previewing the game they said that the story and emotions were a lot better this time around so it seems to be a vary from person to person.

I've heard similar, the character models are much better at conveying emotion than in 1 and 2.

It's so weird logging on the internet after a day away and reading about the review scores of inFAMOUS on reddit and then coming here and reading almost the polar opposite opinions.



A fucking 81!? Preorder canceled cuz Metacritic is god!

Since when is 81 on Meta a flop? Joke thread if you ask me...



" great games must have at least a 90+ score to be great. "  Damn it! The Wii U version of Skylanders is almost a great game ( it has 89)!

It's a solid game. Easily an 8/10. For fans of the series maybe an 8.5? The graphics and action are amazing! It could b better with more variety of mission and a better more believable world. People need to get a grip!
