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

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"]

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

Wow, I didn't expect a 7.5 lol. I think I predicted a 9.0 some time back. I figured it could get AA though. Think I'll read the review now.

Found this in i2 forum, just wan to share with you guys :P

lqcevox

I really enjoyed the Green Hornet :P

[QUOTE="soulitane"][QUOTE="timmy00"]People must be taking the score to heart or something. :?

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

timmy00

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.

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.

Out of good comes bad. Giant Bomb is my favorite site for video previews, written reviews, and podcast :) (that has nothing really to do with what those two are arguing about, I just wanted to promote the great GB site lol).

No he must like "Junk" cause thats what Infamous 2 falls into if we use the pic above :lol:

[QUOTE="da_illest101"]

meh i'm sure the game will be AAA for me. Though i admit system wars wise that score is lol worthy and we got owned

but hey mirror's edge got a 7 but a 9.5 from me

mD-

This website has no credibility anywhere but in this forum. Hilarious isn't it?

I'm blinded to the truth by being a biased Gamespot member :P? I always figured GS's rep was mixed around the internet, but I don't know much. What's the opinion on a site like NeoGaf?

I do like certain reviewers, but I don't think Tom is bad at all. He just found it disappointing and unbalanced in areas, I guess...

[QUOTE="timmy00"]

[QUOTE="soulitane"]Personally I'd be surprised if someone actually got mad at the score :Psoulitane

"Alright, that's it. Un-"liking" GameSpot once and for all. Even the baised freaks over at IGN gave this badboy a 9.0!"

"yeah guys, i guess the reviewer seem to support 360 than the exclusive game of ps3... i wonder if it was true why most all sites give it a good score then... i cant trust this.. i need to play to prove it..."

Just random quotes you can find. :P

Fanboys...No not on the intewebz!

If sony got caught stealing their info and selling it, they would make an excuse as to why they didn't mean it.

Sony needed the money to make me this inflopimus 2. I forgive them.

/the corporate sonybow

You americans have such large johnsons!!Our johnsons so small. Chinpokeman

Well, apparently someone just spoiled the ending of Infamous 2 for me. Normally I'd be mad, but this sort of thing always seems to happen when there's a game I want to get... Why can't people just put "SPOILERS" before posting?

Thats right, Infamous 2 is 75 = junk. :D

Honestly, I can't believe people are freakin' out over a 7.5. That's a good score, folks. God forbid we don't slap a 9.0 on everything just because it looks pretty. Using the whole scale is a good thing.

And seriously, can we take a second, play the full game, and then come back and freak out, instead of basing this on the demo, which you know, is designed to show off the best parts of the game so you'll buy it? Generally, I find that if most review sites say a sequel isn't as good as the original... it ain't as good. I mean there are exceptions, but come on.

Lol look at you. How long have you been a member of gamespot? Were you even here when Gertsmen was sacked? Do you remember all the outrage about that? Do you go to forums like NeoGAF or neoseeker? Do you read awesome blogs like Rock Paper Shotgun? I highly doubt you have been active in the video game community for a very long time to even require proof of what I'm claiming.

I come here to enjoy the forums cause its fun. I definately do NOT come here for reviews. Never have never will. Doubt many do actually. Other gamer sites mean alot because of the reputation gamespot has built. The website has damaged itself a lot this generation peaking at the gertsman firing. Huge amount of people ditched gamespot that day. It is very clear that gamespot and the members that only use gamespots reviews as though they are the only thing that matter are disliked outside this forum. Heck if you visit NeoGAF, things like "sounds like something on gamespot/gamefaqs" was said quite often. Though now they are cracking down on it since its basically trollin. You can still see their warning about it in their faq though. Thats just one example.

What the hell happened?

was it that much different from the original, or is it tooo buggy like the last fallout game or something, cause this is truly baffling

voice of reason right here

Just because someone else said the game wasnt as good doesnt meant it will be bad. I am excited to play it and judge if for my self

"a fake" veteran reviewer i guess.....i think he play it 2-5hours for just lame excuses for reviewing games......

i wish gamespot have...voting reviewers for next games....Or "Reviewer of the year" mostly some parts are cliche.....and some business blah blah blah mojojo something he speak~

Should have followed your own sig. DONT BELIEVE THE HYPE :D

Cows run their mouths too much. Got what they deserved to be honest. Like I've said, quality over quantity. I'll take Gears of War 3 over a bunch of mediocre games any day.

so your own example and anecdotal evidence... that's it?

sorry, gs is the most visited gaming site, that alone speaks a lot more about how credible people consider it than that.

[QUOTE="DarkLink77"] what have other forums to do with anything? people complain about everything in forums, including other game sites. what have other blogs to do with anything? you calling them awesome doesn't somehow prove anything i asked a simple question, can you prove that most people don't consider the most visited gaming site credible? because it sounds weird that so many people are visiting a site they don't trusteboyishere

gamespot is the most visited gaming site for the same reason casual **** games sell alot. It means nothing. Admitedly, the forum is entertaining. Thats why I come here. The biggest flaw is that the community here takes gamespot reviews WAY too seriously.

I think the main problem is that people have preconcieved notions of what a game should score and any review that contradicts that perconcieved notion upsets them.

It isn't good. Didn't you see the scale? Us gamers consider 75 to be junk. :lol:

No its not the most logical conclusion at all actually. Why does the fact it is the most visited mean people think its the most credible? Infact, for that very reason I would think it would be the LEAST credible. Advertisers love site with lots of people and we all know how weak gamespot is at resisting temptation for some cash.

The anger in the comments section of the Infamous video review is hilarious.

:lol::lol: 7.5 I didn't this coming. And cows its your own fault , you always set yourselves up for a fall by hyping games to high heaven only to have them fail to meet the hype. The same fate awaits Uncharted 3. Still buying it though, Infamous was a lot of fun and this looks more of the same so I'm good.

Yeah, it's all kinds of silly. People should just form their own opinions and realize that people go into games with different standards and different expectations.

Some of the comments are ridicuolus from the fanboys that are attacking Tom's review. I wonder if the mods notice this.
