Question, how come the US always has the worst box art (not just this game, but almost every game!!) than Japan and Europe? :? I don't understand.bbkkristian
No clue. Though which RE game had the awful NA box art and the super cool Europe box art?

After I play the first inFAMOUS, I will decide on getting this. :)

Maybe they just think that the ones they give to the US appeals to them more.

No neither what you said about it being a medicore game since you haven't even played.

neither have you, meaning you can't say it isn't mediocre.

professional reviewer who has played the game and gave the first game a 9> you

Judging from the demo it pretty much improved on the first one. I was thinking it would get an AA minimum. Oh well though.

Didn't this thread have a rating poll. Everybody should know from the onset that Infamous 2 was originally hyped to be AAA, but when some of the first bad reviews starting coming in cows strategically lowered it to AA before Gamespot reviewed theirs. Now being hyped to AA gamespot shocked everyone by giving it a A, and now all of a sudden all knowledge of this has been scrapped and replaced with a different poll. In famous 2 flopped hard. Probably the biggest flop all year. Let it be known.

Uhm.. thats what hype is. People hyped it AAA, it looked great. Some surprisingly low reviews came out, some people thought "well maybe this game won't be as great as I thought". Theres no rule to say someones hype for a game can't change. Everyone knows it flopped. But what does it matter? I still personally still can't wait to play it.

Well, according to GS's official scale, 7.5 does indicate that a game is "good". 5.0-5.5 is "mediocre". But hey. Maybe you can petition for GS to change the scale according to your particular standards.

Tom said: Ultimately, I prefer the original Infamous. Pacing is a big part of open-world games, and the sequel just feels so aimless compared to the focused original. Plus, there were too many frustrating battles. I still had a lot of fun with both games, but the first Infamous was fresher and a much more consistent experience. Plus, the story was a lot more enjoyable.TheGuardian03

Really a new IP felt much fresher then its sequel noooooo really who would have thought.....:roll:

That isn't always clear-cut. Sequels can be--and have been--readily more refreshing, and (for example) offering more variety than their predecessors. That isn't far out of the question... :?

When I hear the word refreshing I think of something new a breath of fresh air. I havent ran into a refreshing sequel but I have ran into improved sequels. Building on whats already there but better.

Yeah, but it's still pretty uncommon. Usually they end up worse than the original or only slightly better.

Bythis logic C2 deserved a 7 , it was inferior in so many ways and hadn't the benefit of freshness , more like rotness if anything.Go figure good ol' double standard I see in these reviews , I know the guy is not the same but they should have a pattern , gosh.

Open world games are paced by the player. Like you explore in open world games..at your own pace. Pacing is a small part in linear games? :D Oh kay. I refuse to agree or disagree.

Can't really agree or disagree with a score when you haven't played it though...

Watch me, I disagree with this score.

How can you judge something (IE, agreeing or disagreeing with a score it's been given) if you have no experience with it? :?

Wow, and this was one of my most hyped up games for this year :| I don't think I'll be picking it up anymore, especially if the story sucks as they say.
