Infamous 2 and Alan Wake are two games I believe deserved AAA

Puckhog04

Agree completely. Both highly underrated and underappreciated. The elements in Alan Wake are so unique and the story telling is top notch. Not to mention the gameplay and visuals as well are top notch. Definitely AAA. Infamous 2 just flat out topped its predecessor in every way. Definitely AAA as well.

I disagree. I like Alan Wake's story a lot, but i felt the gameplay was too repitive and it felt gimicky. I did also really like the atmosphere but the day time level graphics were so far below that of the night time levels that it kind of ruined the immersion The graphics were too inconsistent. and honestly it seemed like all the fog was there to"shine" up the game and cover its day time graphics Still Alan Wake was an enjoyable game for me. I would have given it an 8.0 I loved Infamous 2. It's one of the best ganes I've played this year and i find myself playing it over and over again. I only have three complaints. 1. Spamming rockets and grenades makes some boss battles too easy 2. Collecting blast shards can become too tedious . 3. That it had to end. Playing it for the first time was amazing But It deserved at least a 9.0 Anything less is a shame. There isn't anything out quite like Infamous 2. It's an awesome game. In my eyes its AAAA and that's all that matters to me

Flop game flopped.

meatgrinderz
lol if Infamous 2 is a flop game then id love to play more flops like Infamous 2. The game was f'n awosme. Send the flops my way. p.s The game has an 84 average across like 40 reviews And the user reviews of the game...people that have actually played it...love the game. Scores don't really matter either way because Gears 2 and Dragon Age 2 got great reviews from "professional" web sites yet the fan reception for both games was negaitive. Infamous 2 is the opposite. Ok "reviews" from "review sites" But with the fans loving it and fan reception of the game being very positive

"Scores don't really matter either way" Then shut up, I'm really sick of these threads that are just being made with the obvious intention to whine about the 7.5 it got here. God forbid a reviewer has an opinion.

I shouldn't need proof... but whatever. Here's my review. It should be pretty obvious that I've played it.

Why are you getting defensive when they think it's not an AAA game to them?

It's a A on GS and an AA on Metacritic/GR, so no, it's not an AAA game.

The game is underrated, but I would give it an 8.5 personally. I thought the story and voice acting was terribly under par, so that keeps it from being AAA to me.

Try the over 300,000 that bought it first week son! If infamous 2 is a flop then i pray to god for more flops like Infamous 2 to play lol The industry needs more awesome "flops" like Infamous 2. Now go back to the 360 forums. There that way ------------>

The story was good and the voice acting great. The problem was that Infamous 1 had better pacing and a more involving story then Infamous 2. I can see that criticism. But OTHER games in the genere don't even come close to Infamous 2. In the end it's an amazing game and was super fun to play and that's all that should matter

For me it's an AAA game that got a score that it deserved.

I liked it but I can understand why it could score a 7.5. All the whining about it should just stop.It's a great game (I liked it a lot more than the first game) but there is some ANNOYING things about the game and the story isn't all that great. So, the review was a bit harsh, deal with it and move the hell on.

Who's whining? All i see here is "haha Infamous 2 flop! OMG flop!" I agree with you though. No game is perfect and it had its share of annoyances and problems, but i feel that it was harshly reviewed by critics as well To me it seemed like they reviewed the game under a microscope combing over for any little flaw and magnifying it.... Only focusing on being a harsh critic just to be one instead of playing the game(to complain about the screen turning black was so trivial) And not to go too off topic here but that seems to be the case with a lot of PS3 exclusives. Now I don't believe in the M$ paying off critics conspiracys at all BUT if Infamous 2 were a 360 exclusive i have a feeling that it would get praised up and down ,hailed as one of the best games, and recieve 9's and 10's across the board from the media and "professional" web sites and "critics." But anyway, i loved Infamous 2 and as long as i enjoyed thats all that matters to me. IMO an infamous game with part 1's pacing and story and part 2's graphics and gameplay = win!

Infamous 2 gets a 10/10 for me, 4th best game ever IMO, next to Uncharted 2, Zelda:OoT, and Final Fantasy 9.

inFAMOUS 2 is a very good game and it seems most people that play it agrees.

It clearly deserves far better ratings than Uncharted 2 got IMO.

inFAMOUS 2 has better, faster paced, and more in depth/involved combat. InFAMOUS 2 has platforming that is 80 times better and actually matters. InFAMOUS 2's story is actually interesting and different as opposed to Uncharted 2's pathetic tale. InFAMOUS focuses on excellent gameplay whereas Uncharted 2 focuses on telling a narrative and lets that control what gameplay is available

The score was a bit low but it isn't AAA. The graphics are awesome but the story and characters really fell flat with me. I just didn't find Cole or anyone likeable at all. Also, the potential for huge boss fights was there but ultimately was underwhelming. To be restricted to certain hit points rather than focusing on becoming super powerful in order to take them on was a real miss for me. I never really felt SUPER powerful and that was literally the whole point of the game, to be powerful enough to take on The Beast. Graphics and the city were the highlights by far, but there was so much that they could have done make it truly AAA.

Whenever you praise Infamous , you bash UNcharted, which is kinda stupid. They are both great games, no need to downplay one to make another better.

Whoa, I made this thread to praise inFamous 2, not to praise it by means of bashing Uncharted 2. I did really love inFamous 2 and would give it a 9, but Uncharted 2 is the better game. It deserved all the 9.5's it got. I'm a massive Uncharted fan as well :)

It truly felt AAA to me and one of things it nailed perfectly and what i totally loved about it was that the game made you feel like such a super powerful badass That it nailed to a tee. I also found Cole really likeable and i found myself really into the story although i will admit that Infamous did better with its story The boss battles were totally epic though and i was really blown away. Its a gameplay experience thats not like anything on the 360 Over all i really loved this game

Are you going to rent it for me? I can't be spending money on every game you guys think is good.
