This game is close, and I think it'll go somewhere in the 90's



 

Favorite films. Foreign films forever!

Using the shallow definition of "AAA" being 90+ on Metacritic, yes, it will be AAA.

There is no definition for AAA and people should really stop using it.

I think that one of the easiest ways to spot a "fanboy" is to look for the person that says "no fanboys" in their thread title.

As for your topic, what the heck does AAA mean anyways?

I think by no fanboys he means he doesn't want any unjustified, irrelevent 'lulz, inFamous will be gay coz Sony is gay' style comments that usually pop up when people ask what peoples expectation of a game is.

Personally, I think it will be around 90 - 92 metacritic once all the review are in (hence AAA) but not sell well. It really has very little hype outside fairly full on gaming sites, and for a new franchise thats not a good start.

Any-which-way I will be buying it anyway! Got a good feeling that it will make up for the slightly disappointing GTA4.

High 80's - 91/92 is where I expect it to be, im not getting this game no matter how good it is, and I love open world sandbox action games. Im currently boycotting Sony.

I really don't know why u bother, as it is plainly obvious that u hate SONY. Could be good for u, (and many other PS3 owners) if u maybe sold your PS3, if u haven't already done so that is...

What has it been now, 50 days?

What would make you use your PS3 again, a sequel to Genji? A game starring Rhys Darby?

Too early to tell, we have to wait for more reviews on this game. I say it will finish in the 75 -80% review score range. A good game is anything scoring over 70%.

That would be the largest difference between Metascore and OPM UK score (with OPM UK score higher) for any PS3 game, ever.

I highly doubt that.

And no, a good game is not anything scoring over 70%. Is Army of Two a good game? Trivial Pursuit? 70%, for most reviewers, is average. "Positive" starts at 75%, while only 80% plus are very good. 85+ are great, 90+ are excellent, 95+ are phenomenal.

It's not the most spaced-out review scale (The difference between 9.5 and 7 is way larger than the difference between 5 and 2.5), but it works.

Im not sure, the PS3 doesn't like my Bravia TV see? And I only have two HDMI ports and my Xbox 360 gets one port and my HTPC gets the other.

 



Tease.

Ok I can not really judge a game based on one review score. i checked the meta sites and there were no Infamous review scores on it. I will adjust my prediction to 85 to 90% assuming this review score of 9/10 will be close to the review score average. AAA (excellent) game i define as scoring 85%+, not 90%+ There are so many excellent games in the 85 to 90% range.
