Then I doubt it'll break or unbalance anything.Shurs said:
I still hate this recent trend of Gamestop/EB getting exclusive in-game content with pre-orders. I've already complained about it in this thread, but I'll say it again here.
It's fucking bullshit for developers to lock in-game content or make them exclusive downloads, requiring pre-orders to download.

I'd be very surprised if it dosen't come as DLC later. GOW and Heavenly Sword LBP items went that way.

This man speaks the truth.
However, I liked that in saints row 2, the codes worked in every version of the game, regardless if you preordered or not.

Seriously, has there been one bad review/preview/impressions for this game so far?

Haven't played the game, so i don't really have on opinion on its overall quality. But that point seemed kinda silly. Not that it's not true, but rather... why hold it against the game? Is it a requirement to not have anything equivalent to rifle/nade/rocket/sniper rifle?guina said:

It's not just PS3 games. They completely fuck up with numerous reviews, regardless of console.
It's just that their reviews of PS3 games usually have horrendously low(er) scores, especially if they're made by non European developers.

I don't bother with Eurogamer.
It should be a banned site on GAF.

It's sort of a rambling mess (it's my unique style!) but gave it an A-

Jim's review sums up what I thought this would be. Are people seriously looking for games to score high to be vindicated these days? Read his view, good stuff.
xKilltheMx said:
Well done, Jim.
Some highlights:
"inFamous is the real deal, and it stands out as one of the most enjoyable gaming experiences this year."
"Sucker Punch has hit all the proper bullet points; Regular guy who suddenly develops super powers, modern NYC-like city environment, bad dudes, some sort of impending disaster, and a gimmick or twist. inFamous has them all."
"However, if you want to really get the absolute most out of inFamous (or if you're a PlayStation Trophy collector), it will require a second play through from the opposite perspective."
"To just play through the main story, it would probably take the average, focused player around 14 hours. Almost double that if the various side-quests are included, and even more for Trophy collectors. So there are definitely plenty of hours of gameplay to go around."
"For an open-world, sandbox-style game with large streaming environments, inFamous is a really great looking game, especially with the amount of freedom allowed within the game world and the frequent bouts of on-screen chaos."
"There is some pop-in of structures and textures in the distance and it's nothing we haven't seen before in an open-world environment. The same could be said with the unlocked framerate which varies from 60fps down to the 30s, and infrequently a bit lower depending on the action. Due to the lack of anti-aliasing, expect to see some jagged edges and shimmering here and there, usually in the distance."
"In terms of complaints, there really isn't much of anything in inFamous to dislike. There are points where the city and the missions start to feel a little repetitive, although again, it's nothing abnormal for this genre."
"I'd say that even those who would not normally care for comic/superhero or sandbox-style games would find something to like in inFamous. The game has more than enough content and is enough of a challenge to keep most PS3 gamers busy for a while."

I'm well aware of the hypocrisy in me making this particular speech, but do we have to do this every fucking time? It got a 7 from Eurogamer. Lots of games get 7s from Eurogamer. On the upside, what's mentioned in the review is quite promising.
Platforming? Awesome. Combat? Not always awesome. Sounds good, sounds Sucker Punchy, will buy.

That Eurogamer reviewer only reviews crappy games. Obviously the magnificence of inFAMOUS was tainted by his habit of sub 7 review scores.
