infamous one sucked balls. big hairy goat balls. but second son and first light were awesome. so i want more of that. (didnt play 2 after infamous one)


Played InFamous 1 and didnt care for it.  I own InFamous 2 but just couldnt get into it.  Prob played it for like 30 minutes and never touched it again.  Not a fair assessment on my part, but i just dont care for it.  Talented dev though

yeah happens with me too. played fallout 4 for like an hour... closed it and never touched it again. though, it was like 5 years ago, might have liked it if i played it now.

Not really.  R&C does fine when it comes to mainline.  The only one that didnt was Into the Nexus.  Even All 4 One did well and it wasn't a mainline at all.  Very solid sales across the board

Into the Nexus was also low because it released in the same fucking week as the PS4. Who the hell thought that was a good idea?

 

Anyway, the reboot should be helped massively by the movie.

I want great games. reboots should be kept at a minimum.



Cloudman on 08 May 2015

I'd probably go with sequels and new IPs. If a game is really good then, I don't see it being a problem with getting a sequel. However, go too far with those sequels, and then I'll stat being concerned. For example, 5 Nights At Freddy's, the COD series, and Assassin's Creed. I grow tired of games that do too many sequels in a short time.

New IPs are almost always nice to see, as seeing a new idea being made is cool, such as W101 and Splatoon : )

Impressive.

Reboots are basically new games with Nostalgia tacked on.
All though new IPs are fresh, I actually prefer sequels. Are graded more harshly because they cause people expect new stuff all the time.
