Guessing around 78. There's been less score inflation recently and it seems like this game isn't much different than I2 which got an 83.

 

[redtails64]

98 meta score. Yup.

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

Half hour to go! Predictions time!

IGN: 9/10
Gamespot: 8/10
Giant Bomb: 4/5
Eurogamer: 7/10
Polygon: 6/10
Edge: 6/10

This sounds accurate Lol!

 

[Carl]

87 meta is my guess

 

[T.O.P]

Going with 85


Gonna be interesting, hope the game delivers (not a fan of the first Infamous and i skipped 2, but i have Second Son Beanie Edition that just shipped from amazon and i don't have yet a Ps4 mindfuck.jpg)

 

[Cade]

Feeling on the low side. Gonna guess 84 metacritic, right in between the other two Infamous'. Lower scores will probably cite length as a factor. But yeah, I just feel like it'll come in about mid80s so 84's my guess.

 

[Namikaze1]

I'm expecting a mid to high 80s metacritic.

 

[Loris146]

This sounds accurate Lol!

Gamespot 7/10.

 

[RaikuHebi]

2 good scores so far thank goodness. I was wary of a KZ like situation with this.

 

[PoweredBySoy]

I'm excited for this game - something to play on the PS4 - but I can't help remember how mediocre Infamous 2 was. Nothing kills hype like being rational.

 

[MThanded]

The only downside of this game is the pissing contest it is going to start between X1/Titanfall fanboys and Sony/Infamous fanboys.

I hope we can all get passed that and enjoy the games available to us.

[fluffydelusions]

Not really games that can be directly compared. Not even the same genre.

You know someone somewhere will make the comparison though lol

 

[codhand]

86 metascore prediction

Me too

Spoiler

never gonna happen though

 

[Dragonborn]

83-84 Metacritic, in my opinion. It'll probably be a 9/10 for me though

Infamous >> titanfall

Bank on it

I have a hard time believing they'll do that, but hey, go ahead and surprise me media.

 

[Nymphae]

Reviews aside, I'm still getting it tomorrow. Thank you Sony for releasing on a Friday so I can have all weekend with Second Son.

I've never understood why games release on Tuesdays. Most movies release on Fridays because that's when people are free and want to see a movie, same with games.

 

[Doc Evils]

Infamous >> titanfall

[Alcoholikaust]

found this floating on the net-this cannot be real..

.

I predict metacritic 88 for this-

(picking up my copy from store in about 30 minutes)

 

[Bor]

Looking forward to the polygon review

 

[Yaser Tech]

Infamous >> titanfall

Bank on it

We have a winner! Pissing contest begins!

 

[jackissocool]

Polygon 6/10 max.

 

[Cornbread78]

IGN: 9/10
Gamespot: 8.5/10
Giant Bomb: 4/5
Eurogamer: 8.5/10
Polygon: 4/10
Edge: 8/10

uggh, but yes. to be expected, along with a Titanfall comparison, which will lead us to saying huh?

 

[Nightengale]

Any review that mentions Titanfall in any capacity is automatically invalid, no matter of it's good or bad. The games are incredibly different.

inFamous SS Review Drinking Game.

Take a shot every time Titanfall is mentioned.

 

[T.O.P]

Infamous >> titanfall

Bank on it

welp, already on the first page

[Rootbeer]

My CE is prepping for shipment now...

Really hope I enjoy it!

Polygon...4/10? wowza

 

[FriedConsole]

Do any of these reviews have FPS, resolution, number of emotional deaths, or time to beat the main story? If there aren't any numbers, I cannot make an opinion if a game is good or not.

uggh, but yes. to be expected, along with a Titanfall comparison, which will lead us to saying huh?

Polygon would have gave it a 9 out of 10 if they protagonist was wearing a scarf and had a beard.

 

[Zalman]

I think it's going to be around the 90 Metacritic mark.

 

[BigSpleenAttack]

Guessing around 78. There's been less score inflation recently and it seems like this game isn't much different than I2 which got an 83.

Sounds more like wishfull thinking, no way this goes below 80

 

[Dinjooh]

inFamous SS Review Drinking Game.

Take a shot every time Titanfall is mentioned.

But i'm at work..

Fuck it, coffee shots it is.

 

[RoboPlato]

inFamous SS Review Drinking Game.

Take a shot every time Titanfall is mentioned.

I think I already proposed this a while ago. I'll all be dead by sundown and I don't even drink.

 

[MJLord]

To piss off everyone outside the US who has to wait until friday presumably xD

 

[dapperbandit]

I've managed to get this far without being spoiled. When the reviews come in can we mark any for spoiler warnings?

And it should go without saying to keep spoiler posts out or at the very least in tags.

 

[LifEndz]

Half hour to go! Predictions time!

IGN: 9/10
Gamespot: 8/10
Giant Bomb: 4/5
Eurogamer: 7/10
Polygon: 6/10
Edge: 6/10

Think you're right. Was thinking maybe a 7 from Polygon, but def a 6 if Gies reviews it.

 

[breakfuss]

I'm going to say...~88. As long as it follows the trajectory of improvement they started w/ Infamous 2 I'm good!

 

[Hellshy.]

Guessing around 78. There's been less score inflation recently and it seems like this game isn't much different than I2 which got an 83.

Why do you say it isnt much different? Besides obvious improvements to graphics you get several powers instead of 1 and traversal looks better. Also I heard they Improved the story big time.

 

[kittoo]

I predict 86 Metascore.

 

[BigSpleenAttack]

Feeling on the low side. Gonna guess 84 metacritic, right in between the other two Infamous'. Lower scores will probably cite length as a factor. But yeah, I just feel like it'll come in about mid80s so 84's my guess.

84 = low side? LMAO, what has game reviews become?

 

[Jonboy]

I can already guess my own review. Fun/10. Don't need a number.

Haha. Love it.

Any review that mentions Titanfall in any capacity is automatically invalid, no matter of it's good or bad. The games are incredibly different.

Exactly.

 

[velcry]

Collating as many predictions as I can... If you're adding your own prediction, please copy and paste this list and add on to it in numerological order!

90 Metacritic on the dot - NyMartin
Guessing somewhere between 8.5 and 9 on metacritic probably. - Ethelwulf
89 metacritic. Come at me. - hohoXD123
88 metascore. Lock it in. - MercuryLS
88 metacritic score. probably - killatopak
I'd go with an 87 metascore. Hoping for higher tho, really looking forward to it. - Markitron
sticking with my 85 meta prediction. - InvisibleStride
85. Any higher and I'll be pleasantly surprised - velcry
Calling 83 Metascore. - DaBuddaDa

 

[TS-08]

I'm guessing 84 meta critic.

 

[codhand]

this GamerFit review is on point, he points out missing aspects from the previous games in the series, and just generally paints the picture well

 

[Zalman]

84 = low side? LMAO, what has game reviews become?

Apparently everything that isn't a 9 or above sucks.

 

[Prince Vultan]

Waiting to see who decides to shit on the game harder, Polygon or Gamecentral/Metro.

 

[Maintenance]

82 Metacritic. Polygon 7/10, IGN 9/10, Edge 7/10, Gamespot 8/10, Eurogamer 9/10, Giant Bomb 4/5.

 

[cackhyena]

Think you're right. Was thinking maybe a 7 from Polygon, but def a 6 if Gies reviews it.

He said he isn't, but he said this and Titanfall were his most anticipated coming out of last E3.

 

[benicillin]

I'm going to guess a respectable 86 metascore. At its core Second Son is still inFamous, and that series has always been somewhat divisive. I really enjoyed it, but a lot of people aren't super impressed with what it brings to the table.

 

[RealityPales]

Infamous: Second Son Review Thread | How low can Gies go?

Gies isn't reviewing it.

 

[Bunta]

Guessing around 78. There's been less score inflation recently and it seems like this game isn't much different than I2 which got an 83.

SS is better than I2 in every way.

Trying to be realistic, I'm gonna say 88.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

Well... if we are all guessing metascore, i guess i will also jump in.

My meta prediction is somewhere between 83 and 86.
