I think I'm going to stop paying attention to reviews all together.

black ops gets AAA, infamous 2 gets a 7.5. :(

Conspiracy! :o

I assumed you were referring to the metagame, as it's the only thing this score is of real relevance to here.

The PS3 is having a very good year in that metagame thus far. The PC is having the best out of the systems. The Wii and 360 aren't.

The thing is what did he want to happen with infamous 2. All I wanted infamous 2 to do was run and play better and from what iv seen and experianced it does just that. I wasint expecting epic moral choices since the 1st one showed the game is about clear cut good and bad. Story wise is much harder to explain since things like characters and story are proboly one of the the most opinion basedthings in some games. Also when COD changes nothing and just keeps getting high scores it just makes me scratch my head when other games suffer when its in the same line up.

i know. opinions, they're amazing right? it's not like GS is alone on this, gamepro and eurogamer both agree so far. it seems like this is going to be a very polarizing game.

Are people expecting Uncharted to Uncharted 2 jumps for every sequel? Uncharted 3 will definitely flop then.

I see it scoring an 8.0 to max a 9.0 at this point, really now I'm guessing his expectations were seriously high.:?

but he said it didn't build upon what made the first great, which it clearly does. his opinion wasn't *fomed* well.

I dunno, I have to disagree with him. I can't criticize the score since I've only played the demo, but judging a game based off whether it can make the same leap that Uncharted 2 did seems pretty flawed.

well, I'm getting ahead of myself a little bit, maybe the music or pacing isn't as good as the first :P

I guess I'll have to see for myself.

I do not understand why so many are acting like a score for a game they have never even played is wrong.rybe1025

Well technically it's the same way how people will praise a game if it scores high without even playing it yet. :P

IMO the shooter genre in general tends to get more a free pass on many of the critiques levelled against iterative sequels in other genres.

BO didnt just take few steps back but it took a whole generation behind with abysmal graphics, story, animation, etc and it still got AAA

here we have Infamous 2 that improved in every category and it flopped.

all i have to say is WOW!

i think this is just as bad when GS flopped MGS1

Would be the same for those calling it a bad game despite it not meeting expectations either.:P

Someone had said this before, but I'm guessing it's probably because of the "end of the generation" syndrome. Honestly it's kind of sad and I really don't see how it deserves less than an 8.0 here but hey, I'll figure it out once I play it.:P I think the original deserved a 7.5 or an 8.0 and this one higher from what I've played and seen thus far.:P

As for the expectations, honestly if that's the case I doubt many games that are sequels to very well deserved titles will have a hard time to please editors like these. Sure it's true that there needs to be a limit, but there are some titles that tend to get a free pass every now and then around here..:P

Uncharted 3 will probably not score AAAE here. If it does, the single player will probably have to be a heck lot more impressive this time around and I don't think Naughty Dog can squeeze out more from the formula they mastered thus far.:?

lol, This was unexpected. I like how some people lowered their hype so it would avoid floppage, but it still flopped. :P Nothing like a good ol' flop every so often in SW.

Anyway, I really want to try this game. I enjoyed the first and this one looks better so it should be fun.
