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

[QUOTE="Zorgax"]

Uncharted 3 will flop as well, though not as badly. Cows will hype it AAA, it will get AA.

Swift_Boss_A

you are setting up yet another flop. :P My guess is UC3 won't flop but mostly because cows will have learned to be cautious about how high they are hyping their exclusives from now on.

wow didn't expect that score.... the lems are gonna have a field day

I don't think they will apply what they learn in this instance though, so I foresee a flop :P.

[QUOTE="-ArchAngeL-777-"]Read the IGN review. According to them, the side missions and story are better done this time. Tom's review is the low bar on the poll right now. If you want to skip out on a game just because of one mans review, go ahead. its just as likely to be your loss.R3FURBISHED

I most definitely have read the IGN review. But this game still has the same problems the first one had with camera in close proximity fights, weird collision detection and the jumping that glues you to an object.
What's with the moral system now? I mean it wasn't exactly stupendous in the first game but this one just sounds almost broken. You can kill the people you need to save and still achieve a good moral rating?

UC3 will be hyped AAA and get AAA. The series won't go from universal 9.5s to AA. This flop has people overreacting about the editors' standards a little too much.

[QUOTE="Swift_Boss_A"]Naughty Dog are premier devs, they don't do flops. The game has a higher chance exceeding expectation.catfishmoon23

Ok I know all of those who don't like this series already or are just fanboys are going to treat this 7.5 as a game that's worth skipping.

WRONG! Just read/watched this terrible review. This one seems as bad as that Ratchet and Clank one except the negatives are so ridiculous I don't even know where to begin. Tom is obviously on the other end of the spectrum here as pretty much EVERY REVIEW HAS SAID THAT THIS GAME IS AN IMPROVEMENT. The scores may not reflect that, but the quality does so people are still playing a superior open world game.

This game is an example why counting A, AA, and AAA exclusives can be pointless. Infamous 2 is a better game than these so called AAA exclusives, yet people like count the AA and AAA in comparing libraries. Worst of all they are using some of GameSpots flawed scores (cause every once in a while, let's be honest they scewed up badly).

I'll play the demo - and you can watch that instance that I talked about it in the GS Video Review so its kinda hard to dispute it (they actually show it happening on two different occasions).
This whole situation sucks though, probably my favorite PS3 game (inFamous) and seeing its sequel ripped just sucks.

Why hasn't anyone done a Kinectanimals = flopFamous 2 sig?

I remember Stevo had an ODST > KZ3 sig which was pretty epic. This should get the same treatment. Don't dissapoint me, SW.

It's just the reviewer's opinion. I'm sure most of you didn't care for it when the guy gave ODST a 9.0 + editor choice. Maybe he's having a bad day :P

I will wait to play the game myself. As it stands, the review gives me an impression that there's not as much polish in the experience even though a lot of effort went into the graphics and the new powers.

[QUOTE="SilverChimera"][QUOTE="mD-"] I know that's what I basically just said...mD-

Are you sure you're not taking it too seriously? It's all just a meta game with no real effect on your enjoyment of the game. Just leave it at that.

LOL. Joke? Gamespot is FAR from one of the most respected websites out there. FAR from it. You clearly don't go to too many websites.

What is it with people getting hung up over a game review? Not only that, but some here are making personal attacks against Tom McShea.thom_maytees

7.5 is good people. Don't get so mad (or annoyed) with it.

Wow, just read the entire review and watched the video.. and that was terrible. I changed my mind. I'm getting this game.

On a side note: That was the worst GS review I've seen so far in 2011.

Gamespot is the best review site for me on the internet.

I can play a game without looking at their review and come on here look at it and 99% of the time I agree 100%.

Hands down the best most trusted by me review site on the internet.

Try this. Play a game "rent" beat it. Then come back here and look at the score and tell me they were far off of what you thought would be the score you would have given the game.

You're not going to agree with every review they post. In my 10 years of coming here, they got my back when it comes to reviews.
