[QUOTE="_Cadbury_"]Wait... Tom reviewed the first Infamous? Epic inconsistency. Lol at him praising the moral choices in the first one then slamming it in the second.finalfantasy94
Pretty much epic inconsistency. The moral choices in 1 are equel to do you want to shoot someone in the face or not. Its never grey. Its clear as day if ur being a evil selfish jerk or not.
Did you read the review? It's not that the system is only black and white. But it's also poorly implemented. He even wrote an example. Read the review before pointing out bias.[QUOTE="lazerface216"]
[QUOTE="Pikminmaniac"]
I'm still hyping this game to be a personal AAAE. There's no way inFAMOUS 2 is worse than the Sly trilogy and Uncharted 2
Pikminmaniac
what are you on about? why can't infamous 2 be worse than the sly collection or uncharted 2? the sly collection is damn near flawless.
What are you on about? The Sly Collection had too many glaring flaws to be considered flawless
Sounds alot like inflawless 2
[QUOTE="-RocBoys9489-"]inFamous 2 = Crackdown 2 Problem cows?DroidPhysXDA2 > inFamous 2 Problem?lol that one is a problem
The game reuses so many of the same enviroments once you play Act I you basically played through the eviorments of the rest of the game..

Read the review before pointing out bias.I read what he said,but it doesint hide the fact its still inconsistent on his part. Since he says infamous 1 choices basicly didint feel black and white. When most if not all were.

Wow. Major flop.
Surprising considering the score for the first, other review scores from around the web, and the improvements they've seemingly made in the sequel.

From reading the review, it seemed like in Tom's view, it was a case of one step forward, two steps back.
I've only skimmed it. Complaints about balance and pacing seem valid, but I don't see how the original inFAMOUS was complex in its moral choices.Although one could argue that as the generation progresses and there are more games out reviews will get harder. But that doesn't seem to affect the FPS genre.
i am actually surprised by the score.
having only played the demo, and having platinum'd infamous 1. seriously it was the only game i played that month of June, absolutely loved it.
i'm still very excited for inFamous 2, and this doesn't change my opinion or dissuade me at all. very much looking forward to it.

Yup. And I believe SP intended for moral choices to be entirely one sided for a player per play through. I mean, to get the most out of the game youre going to have to make the good choice every time, then the bad choice every time. More black and white choices make it easier to do this in fact. Having to struggle to make a 'choice' was never the idea. It's the consequences behind them that matter.If you post a pic that you own all 7 of those games I'll buy you Uncharted 3.Yet another good exlcusive for the PS3 this year to add to the mix.

Man, the PS3 is on a roll this year! Year of the PS3, right guys?! Total domination!-RocBoys9489-I know I've been loving the PS3 lineup this year, and it's definitely gotten the most attention from me this year out of all 3 consoles. And I'm more concerned with my fun than stupid "Year of the _______" titles.
i didn't think it was possible, but FLop of the Year flopzone3 just got dethroned. behold, inflopmas 2 :lol:

you're a madman!!! that's my only explanation for your post! :P
seriously though, as far as franchises go infamous is absolutely not on sly cooper's level. at least sly does platforming right.

isnt it better to have a flop then nothing?:?
Where are all those people with those ridiculous claims that this was going to be goty? Does this mean cows have suffered the most flops this gen?
It's second to the PC in the metagame, for which the Wii and 360's tallies currently stand at zero. My point being: Exclusives are overrated, multiplats have easily been the best games this gen. And the funny thing is, 360 is basically on par with PS3 the rest of the year for all you fanboys :lol:[QUOTE="-RocBoys9489-"]Man, the PS3 is on a roll this year! Year of the PS3, right guys?!

Not if the flop is really bad. (not inFamous 2, but in general)Just in response to the complaint of the black and white karma system, does anyone else prefer that? I never thought the inFamous karma system was an attempt to analyse your own morality and plug it into the game. To me it was a question of you wanted to be a douche for the whole game or be a hero.
If, for example, I wanted to be evil and pick all the evil karma choices, ambiguity would kind of ruin that if I accidently picked the good karma choice. This actually happened in the first game with that one slightly amibiguous bit and it annoyed the hell out of me.
The example McShea gave with Cole still getting good karma when he killed all the hostages was ridiculous though.
Look at the first 10 pages of this thread. All the hype is there.Where are all those people with those ridiculous claims that this was going to be goty? Does this mean cows have suffered the most flops this gen?

TomMcShea said : It's so weird how Call of Duty continually gets mentioned whenever I review a game. I don't play that series, so I have no comment on how the quality of the experience has fared through the years. I can tell you that when you look at the leap from something like Uncharted to Uncharted 2, you can see why I was harsher with Infamous 2. This is still a really good game (as the score indicates), but didn't build on what made the original so fantastic.TheGuardian03IMO the shooter genre in general tends to get more a free pass on many of the critiques levelled against iterative sequels in other genres.
Are people expecting Uncharted to Uncharted 2 jumps for every sequel? Uncharted 3 will definitely flop then.

except infamous 2 adds a TON of awesome powers, and the game is faster paced and flows much better. better graphics and visuals as well soo...
I think I'm going to stop paying attention to reviews all together.
black ops gets AAA, infamous 2 gets a 7.5. :(
