Hardest one by far is Vanquish - I wasn't able to plat it.

There's this one challenge, the 5th one, where it's just...well, incredibly hard to survive. The rest of the trophies are easy, but right now, I'm truly ashamed to say this is one game I could not platinum. This is actually one of my greatest guilts in life (I know this sounds sad, but when I put my mind to something, but I keep failing at it, it will eventually become one of my greatest shames/guilts). I mean, I made it to one of the greatest universities up here in Canada, and in the program I wanted,,,but man, failing at a video game really sucks!

You're first problem is assuming Gamespot reviews are a credible source. If it weren't for the forums, Gamespot would be the worst Videogame site there isNuck81

I can partially agree with this - yes, gamespot has THE best forums for gaming, but the reviews have been "inconsistent" (to put it in a good way) since alot of gamespot's key reviewers left (Greg Kasavin, Alex N., Jeff G., Shane [now at Gametrailers], Brad Shoemaker, etc) [yes, i've been around for a while, just look at my level]. Tom McShea is one of those inconsistent reviewers - I say this b/c, in reality, he set me in the right direction towards games like Resonance of Fate, while on the oither hand keeps people away from GREAT games like Infamous 2. I love infamous 2, I really do, and I don't say that too much about many games - few games I can call my favourite games, except for Super Mario 64 and - infamous 2. I was honestly gonna let this game go just b/c of the review, but I picked it up anyway b/c I wanted the preorder bonus and partially b/c I wanted more Infamous. After playing Infamous2, I was SO mad that a stupid REVIEW almost held me back from playing what was potentially one of my most favourite games of all time. Tom McSchea genuinely didn't know how to play the game, which you can tell by the video review (he didn't know sucking electricity heals you, and he seemed annoyed at enemy encounters, even though doing side missions relieves them...), so you cna tell the review is inaccurate. Alot of people don't notice or just don't want to listen (just b/c either they like Tom's reviews alot, or b/c I seem like a troll), but they gotta look at the hard facts. One of my comments was removed just b/c I told peoplle to be "aware" of this guy's reviews, just b/c they;re sometimes inconsistent. This is the truth, I wish people knew that.

One reviewer you can trust I think is Carolyn Petit. He (she? shoot....) has very comprehensive reviews, and if people just read/watch Petit's reviews with an unbiased attitude, they'd see that. Again, you have to look at the hard facts. A lot of people seemed to be confused just b/c they can't figure out "who" exactly is Petit, but Petit is one of the best reviewers in a LONG time, next to Schooter from 1up.com. I say this from the heart.

I guess my point being is to "review" other reviews, and from there judge if they're accurate/comprehensive enough for you to trust - but obviously, try the game yourself! infamous2 is a blast! PLatinumed it in just a few days!

I really hope that there is an inFAMOUS 3 given that infamous is my favourite sony franchise of all time.

I hope it isn't like my favourite nintendo franchise of all time... It's been 7 years since Pikmin 2 now. when will I finally even get to see Pikmin 3?

Pikminmaniac

I can relate to you. Infamous2 turned out to be one of my fav games of all time (next to supermario64), and I really think pikmin is such a great, untapped franchise from nintendo. I think the more realistic they can make the graphics of pikmin, and include online functionality, pikmin3 (let's hope) will be a hit.

Also, to TC, i only realized the question mark when someone pointed me to a picture of it. The question mark came too fast.

IN A WAY I HOPE THERE ISN'T AN INFAMOUS 3. This is b/c Infamous 2 ended perfectly (for both endings). I would be so sour if Sony butchered the series by making Infamous 3 a cash-in. Then again, I thought Infamous 1 ending pretty good, but we got a pretty good sequel. huh?

Infamous 1 and 2 are a definite for any action/adventure fan who also likes super heroes. Also Motorstorm, any of them really, they are all great racing games.

kerrman

AGREED. I think you should just play as good in Infamous1, and in the 2nd one play as both evil and good (both endings are terrific). Don't spend too much time with the 1st game, since the 2nd one is better in most respects (pacing I think too, except alot of reviewers dont seem to think the pacing is as good as the first).

I thought GOW3 was MUCh better than the first game, which i thought to be very repetitive

Nah, I think this voice actor is much better. He captures Cole's emotion a lot more effectively than the first guy did.

UnrealLegend

THIS. Also, in the first one, NO ONE has a voice that gravelly! Geez, talk about metal gear solid 3 all over again. It's unrealistic. The 2nd voice just sounds BETTER, b/c it's more realistic/feasible and/or likeable

Agreed. I just love the characters way more than the original (i'm partly playing the game cuz of Kuo! haha). There seems to be more interactions between the characters - if it;s the emphasis of the cinematics or the way the characters actually acknowledge each other's past. The review just seems DEAD WRONG at this point. But who knows, the pacing might be a bit off later on in the game (I just put 5 hours into it). Love it so far, and I dont regret buying it one bit! The animation is awesome as well, solid mo-cap with ACTUAL facial animations this time (not the SLY cooper animation style where the facial animations were jerky/blocky). Everything is overhauled and feels great.

Of courese it is going to be powers from the first game. The developers aren't to going to blow all the new things in a demo. The demo was pretty good. I like how you earn new powers in actual missions instead going down in a sewer all of the time. Not that the sewers were bad, but you already knew what you were getting into when you went down there. The colors are better and brighter than in Infamous 1. There was more variety in the types of enemies that Cole fought.. The new beast enemies are awesome. The character models look way better than they did in the first game. The new rapid fire mechanic on good cole was awesome. Parts of buildings are now able to be destroyed such as the balconies that bad guys tend to be on quite a lot. The gameplay is a lot faster and fluid than the previous game. Anyone saying the demo played just like the first game is blind, or has not played the first game in a while. The only other reason for anyone not liking the demo is due to the fact he or she exepcted to see 90% of the brand new elements in the game. These people set their expectations too high. Infamous 2 kind of looked the same from the footage show, but all my doubts were put to rest once I played the game for myself.

gamenerd15

I totally agree with this. Took teh words out of my mouth.

AND FOR THOSE saying the enemies were bad shots - check your options, cuz the difficulty is actually set to easy by default.

A MAJOR complaint for me, however, is the camera - it's too upclose! I tried playing the demo twice, and I got nauseus both times (I'm not a guy to get easily dizzy). I really do hope they have an option to have the camera further out, ESPECIALLY when running, since teh cam tends to zoom in on Cole for some odd reason when running

The technique is this:

1) sign into PS Store

2) if everything appears correctly, proceed

3) if empty boxes, and ERROR occurs, press O to exit to XMB - repeat above steps

So essentially ur spamming signing into teh Store to get it working correctly,

I thought the game was fun, but the graphics were definitely a bit underwhelming. It was just really fun getting all these powers, like *SPOILERS* being able to glide, and having an electric shield! **** It did not amaze me, although there was this one Morality choice where I asked myself: Did I just choose that? That was the biggest choice in any game i've played where I actually questioned my morality (yes, more so than bioshock/dragonageOrigins). It was a fun game, it deserves the 8.5/9's it got from reviewers

Zidaneski

Yah that one choice threw me for a loop too. I went through the whole game being good and then that came along. I guess I'm a bad guy deep down then.

Anyways, TC needs to figure himself out. If I play a game and I'm not having fun I stop playing that game. I don't go asking people if theres something wrong with me.

Heh you chose the same Morality choice too eh? I found out soon after that the same outcome happens after either choice - but it's more shocking (ie: a kick to the nuts) to those who chose the "bad" ending. I don't think choosing that option makes us "bad guys" though. Nice Zuko pic btw, Avatar was the best cartoon series i've watched in a long time (I'm a university student, mind you), and I loved every part of it. Actually, I think it's the best "anime" series I've seen ever.

As for the TC, I think it's normal to question oneself if you didn't find a game that fun. I question Portal 2's hype and its resultant reviews, and before that I questioned how gamers thought Enslaved:Oddyssey to the West was such a good and UNDERrated game (it wasn't - it was very boring actually). I guess sometimes you feel like you're taking crazy pills just b/c you can't figure out why people go crazy over a certain game - people have different tastes maybe? I guess if you only cared about having fun, one wouldn't go through the trouble of making this thread. But if you're curious about why people liked a certain game...these threads are made.
