inFAMOUS 2 Hype thread (56k) 7.5 @ GS - KEEP IT HERE!

[QUOTE="Stevo_the_gamer"]

[QUOTE="finalfantasy94"]

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

UnrealLegend

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

[QUOTE="eboyishere"]

[QUOTE="Stevo_the_gamer"]It's still an opinion, being paid to write a piece does not make one person's view inherently superior to someone else.

Zorgax

apparently whatever Gamespot reviewer says is the final word

this is system wars baby.

THe only thing GS scores are used for is whats a flop or not in SWand thats about 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.

[QUOTE="Stevo_the_gamer"] Can't really agree or disagree with a score when you haven't played it though...The_Game21x

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? :?

I guess I should come out and say it so there won't be any confusion; I always disagree with whatever Stevo says for the lulz. He knows this. :P

[QUOTE="UnrealLegend"]

[QUOTE="Stevo_the_gamer"]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... :?

RoOodriGowW

Story half the time is ether going to hurt or help the score. Apprently he didint like the story. Does it make it a factual bad story. nope but for his opinion he didint like it therfore it took the hurt.

He seems excited fo Uncharted 3, if that gets below AAA he'll probably wont get it.

Which was the infamous 2 case , a slightly better game , deducting 1,5 in a game for its godamn story is ridiculous , I'm not reading a book , I'm not saying the stories should be bad , but hell , that's not what these games are about.Also most of the complaints , actually I saw two worth mentioning , like a bunch of battles , which the first had too , and uninspiring story could easily be made up by other improvements , a mission editor , a lot of new powers , which honestly , is the reason why people play a superhero game , y'know and better gfx.

RoOodriGowW

Wait a minute, where in the review did it say the story sucked? :| I don't remember that. And IGN's review said the story was great...

The story is much more than a cliche alien invasion, but it's not very good either.

It seems like a good review. I don't see anything wrong here, all his complaints seemed logical.

Its in there. He basicly said cole adventure is meh and the characters are not big deal ether. Not his exact words but pretty much sums it up.

Pretty shocking (no pun intended), but I'm sure I'll still enjoy it. I'm definitely looking forward to the game.

Having lots of exclusives doesn't really matter much when they all flop, now does it? ;)

That said, I'll still give Infamous 2 a spin and I have faith that at least UC3 will get AAA.

"Thankfully, showing off your heroic powers is a lot more entertaining than the bland story."

Maybe i'm a little emotional here when i say horrible story but great is really far from bland in my dictionary , but anyways the story isn't even horrible , it's just bland , but by reading that one sentence you can see that entertainment wasn't what the reviewer was after when playing this game , gosh , looks like a curse to me to play such a fun game under these circumstances , i'd probably stop gaming.

Also the question remains : what is so bad to shadow improvements and deduct a 1,5.I'd be happier if they said 'hey we didn't mean to give the first infamous a 9 so we will be compensating on this one k?"

You see, I thought the original inFamous had a fantastic story, despite many others finding it mediocre. I'm not really sure what to expect now.

IGN: Story is great!

GS: Story is bland!

Me: lolwut?

If the story actually is bad, hopefully it'll be kinda like Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (Crummy story by itself, but decent progression in the main story)

Ah, I see it now :). Still, I'm confident that I will enjoy the story.

40% of the demo downloaded. 2498 MB is a lot :P.

Well according to cows guys, scores are now irrelevant in SW and ALL games are as good as YOU think they are! Halo Wars is the best game this gen! ( :P )-RocBoys9489-

edo-tensei

Wow, didn't expect floppage of that magnitude. Cows even played it safe and hyped it AAE. Damn. Must be a Fable III-esque sequel.

Wasn't expecting that low of a score, I liked the first one so I'm still glad I preorded it. I will just refer to ign score...lol

The review is great, spot on. But the score? :? still a good game.. will be getting it

wow Tom Mcshea, i just watched the review.

"infamous 2's morality system and the choices are just black and white, there's no grey area"

have you been living under a rock? inFamous 2 is not Dragon Age. you're either good or bad. wtf is wrong with this review?

he goes on saying "omg, morality is a joke. because you can only be good or bad, nothing in the middle. you dont need to put thought into what you're doing" oh come on. fans and haters of inFamous have already known that you either play as Good COle and Bad Cole even before the first game came out, and that's how it was set up. to nitpick something like this is just stupid. seriously. the morality choices in inFamous is not Mass Effect. you don't need to think which one is goor or bad because this is a superhero action open-world game, not an RPG. get it?

'your screen goes to black&white when you're hit, and so you spend most of your battles in black&white rather than enjoying the beautiful scenery"

LOLWUT. dont blame the game if you suck at it. use the Roll or the Cover button to avoid being hit.

also, pacing? really?

it's a freaking open world game. YOU PACE YOURSELF. you choose if you relax or you do story missions or whatnot. tired of defeating enemies Mr. Mcshea? then justs screw around in the city or lift cars or whatnot.

this review is a total joke.

Ouch, pretty big flop :(

I don't put much credit into scores if I like a game but Gspot is not the only place panning this game.
