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

What's wrong with Metro?

 

[Loris146]

85 metacritic for me

 

[Kuro]

76 meta

Spoiler

I have the CE preordered and don't care

 

[PuppetSlave]

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

It's not all bad, the impressions you read during those days have saved me some serious cash over the years.

 

[chadskin]

Give isn't reviewing it.

But it has a nice ring to it!

 

[AllIsOneIsNone]

I'm thinking an 83 metascore. I think the median score will probably be higher, but there are always a few real low ones that bring the average down.

 

[Cade]

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

Well, the 7-10 scale low side, yes.

 

[Raxus]

I don't see 86 taken. I'll take 86.

 

[Sephiroth503]

Team 82.

Will get praised for visuals, flare and probably storytelling.

Negative marks for lack of side content variety.

 

[Alcoholikaust]

76 meta

Spoiler

I have the CE preordered and don't care

having a beanie can sway the score

 

[Recall]

SS is better than I2 in every way.

You played it to completion already?

 

[Tratorn]

I think it'll have a 78-82 meta. Reviewers seem to give lower scores for sequels, because they want some newer experiences in this new gen.

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

I doubt he thinks he could get away with a 6. Bet it's a 7 or 7.5 on Polygon and that it's in the bottom tenth percentile of scores overall.

How is he still employed in that role? He's killing Polygon's reputation.

 

[breakfuss]

Hahaha, you guys really do not let anything go. Watch Polygon have the highest review, though.

 

[Badlucktroll]

Varied reviews. This game is gonna be great guys.

 

[Lace]

I'll go with team 89 based off what I've seen.

 

[R3TRODYCE]

84 metacritic seems about right.

 

[shandy706]

Infamous >> titanfall

Bank on it

Two completely different games. Stupid comparison.

Good thing we have the option to play both.

 

[OnionPowder]

Going to be generous and say that it gets an 86.

 

[BigSpleenAttack]

I think it'll have a 78-82 meta. Reviewers seem to give lower scores for sequels, because they want some newer experiences in this new gen.

?? See many sequels get way higher scores.

 

[NekoFever]

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.

[WeAreStarStuff]

I beat this game over the weekend and would give it a solid 9/10. It's excellent in almost every way.

 

[Victarion]

90+, go big or go home.

 

[Nozem]

I predicted a 79 metascore. Impressions seem better than that though.

 

[DryvBy]

EYE GEE IN REVIEW EXCLUSIVE 9.9

"While inFAMOUS: Second Son is amazing and is flawless, we still couldn't give it a 10 because fanboys will be mad. Graphics graphics graphics sounds graphics neon."

 

[Shadownet]

I'm going to say 89 Metacritic, but color me pleasantly hopeful if higher!

 

[Badlucktroll]

Delsyn or whatever his name is looks like a douchebag. in real life i would want to kick his ass.

 

[Coulomb_Barrier]

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

They definitely WILL be compared. Some would say they should be to, as they are the first of the second wave of exclusives.

 

[Exalted]

I think it will get an 84 average.

 

[Dinjooh]

What's wrong with Metro?

Nothing, they're hilarious to read. They're just a bit more critical than most reviewers - which is a good thing.

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

inFamous SS Review Drinking Game.

Take a shot every time Titanfall is mentioned.

If I wasn't at work I would participate so hard lol!

 

[SEGAvangelist]

8 hours and no multiplayer will dock it below 90. I'm guessing 88.

 

[TheHall]

Oh we are doing Metacritic bets?

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
87 meta score - Thehall
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
88 being realistic JackissoCool

 

[MJLord]

That's true. On the other side of the coin though it's almost impossible to go into a game dark.

I'm going to go with a 89 but am hoping for a 90.


Also I think ign hands this 9.1 - 9.2

 

[LifEndz]

Is Greg Miller reviewing this for IGN? If he is that's a guaranteed 9. Expecting a 10 from PS Nation.

Edge will be lower to 5/10
Gamespot 8/10
Polygon 6/10
Dtoid - 9/10
OPM - 9/10
Games Master - 7/10

 

[maverick40]

I have a great feeling about this game. 88 on metacritic

 

[Shadownet]

8 hours and no multiplayer will dock it below 90. I'm guessing 88.

You doing a speed run?

 

[Veive257]

I'm looking forward to putting Titanfall down already and picking this up for a while..

Therefore my metacritic prediction is Titanfall +3 = 89

 

[Kacho]

85 Metacritic is my guess.

 

[WolfForager]

83 Metacritic

IGN 9.1/10
Polygon 6/10
Eurogamer 8/10
Gamespot 8/10
Edge 7/10

 

[1.21Gigawatts]

Metacritic bet: 83

 

[Bunta]

You played it to completion already?

Yes, 100% on the good side. Not evil yet.

 

[Nightengale]

Nothing, they're hilarious to read. They're just a bit more critical than most reviewers - which is a good thing.

Too bad Metro has been indoctrinated by Nate Fox's charms and love for Batman : TAS... Metro confirmed for biased review.

/s

 

[Lace]

I'm going to say 89 Metacritic, but color me pleasantly hopeful if higher!

My brother!

I would go higher but the fact some just don't like the infamous world will pull it down.

 

[batman2million]

This. But it isn't gonna stop people from comparing.

 

[fluffydelusions]

8 hours and no multiplayer will dock it below 90. I'm guessing 88.

But that 8hrs is only for one side right?
