I don't have to give any game a chance. Doing so or not doing so is my perogative. If I intend to make a fair review out of the game, I should play it as it is meant to be played and I should make an effort to judge the game from a correct standpoint. But for me as a player that's totally irrelevant.

A game that starts bad and makes me lose interest enough not to play it beyond a certain point has failed, and it doesn't matter how good or bad it is beyond that point. My personal enjoyment of that game is still the same.

I don't really care what motivations were for Bugrimmar to make a thread such as this. I don't really care about his opinions of the game either. I just get irritated when someone says that I have to endure 2 hours of boredom because the really fun stuff comes after. I have better things to do with my time.

I have a feeling you rented the Demo.

what's your psn?

bugrimmar. add me if you wish.

and if you really really press me, i might just rent it again and take a picture of myself with it. but i don't have the time nor the inclination to explain myself to someone who's just extremely defensive about his console.

erm, i kinda cleaned up my list coz i wasn't able to add anyone anymore. lol.

you can add me again if you like :P

This thread reminded of Shams Uncharted review thread.

I am not extremely defensive unlike your extremely weird review of a game you barely played, then wonder why you get on you. So, you rented it this morning and returned it the same day.

It's pretty sad that a person can't give his impressions on inFamous, or any PS3 game for that matter, without being attacked. At least he played the game for a while unlike many of you. It's also pretty silly that a couple of you are posting review scores from different websites, even some that were claimed to be anti-PS3 like GameSpot and GameDaily for example. Now that they've given it a high score, we take their word for it.

Seriously?

What do you think demos are for? A demo is usually around 1 hour long, and often gives you a pretty good idea of if you'll like the game or not.

How many games that are boring for the first two hours and then develop into splendid and fun games have you played, anyway? A really good game gets you hooked in the first couple of seconds. Sometimes even before you start the game (Command & Conquer did that, for instance).

And for that matter, where do you draw the line? 2 hours of boredom? Or 4 hours of boredom? Or 10 hours of boredom? How much boredom must I suffer to be sure that the next hour won't be gold?
