It will be a metascore of 91

I hope it breaks that elusive 90 metascore barrier. It would signal that Sucker Punch has a critically-acclaimed hit on their hands, akin to other beasts like TLoU, Bioshock Infinite or the first two Arkham games.

 

[Dinjooh]

I'm predicting someone will get spoiled and get incredibly mad.

Maybe a lawsuit.

 

[Dragonborn]

30 hours exhausting all the content. 7-8 hours for the main storyline was reported a couple of times in the OT now. I'm guessing I'll get around 10 or so the first time.

If I can get 30 hours overall, I'd say that's pretty damn good. I'm planning on playing the game twice, like I did the first two.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Team 88 represent.

 

[chadskin]

I wonder if Polygon will give the Xbox One version of inFamous a higher score.

 

[rich7sena]

Enough with the polygon bitching.
They do decent reviews. Its one persons opinion anyway.

Someone's got to pay for those production values, right? I kid.

 

[foxbeldin]

People want justification for their purchases. Doesn't seem surprising.

I personally purchase what looks good to me, but maybe that's just me.

 

[taoofjord]

My gut says 82.

 

[Loudninja]

I'm predicting someone will get spoiled and get incredibly mad.

Maybe a lawsuit.

So will get spoiled so I suggest not reading the reviews.

 

[marrec]

Sitting in the office.

Playing Alundra on the vita.

Waiting for the infamousreviews.

This is the start of a rap verse isn't it?

 

[jaxpunk]

Beat it last night after scoring an early copy from the ebay guy.

If this doesn't get a meta of 90ish it's a crime. Game was super fun start to finish and looks fantastic for all the graphics whores.

 

[Slixshot]

Polygon: "The above average visuals still can't hide the fact, that Infamous Second Son plays like a last gen game"
-6/10

the accuracy of this is too good...

 

[StuBurns]

Polygon: "The game would dramatically benefit from a softer resolution rendering and rumble triggers"
-6/10

 

[chicagocubsfan]

I'm going with an 84 metacritic.

 

[MThanded]

People will create justification regardless of the score, they just want to make sure people agree with whatever justification they concoct.

I mean I use reviews to justify tech purchases and the movies it see.

Some people legitimately use reviews to inform purchasing.

They do decent one sided bias reviews like a bunch of xbox fanboys yes, but I agree, enough, we get it they are not to be taken serious.

 

[Nightengale]

Enough with the polygon bitching.

I don't necessarily agree with the all the Polygon bitching, but it's a hard stereotype to shake off, especially after how some of their controversial reviews read out.

Their good ones are good, but their bad ones leave a very lasting memory.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Told my boss to not trip out if I keep looking at my phone. Something important has come up that I don't want to talk about.

 

[Hurt and Scared]

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

Greg has said on podcast beyond he's no longer a reviewer for ign his job is essentially to create video content for ign like putting all the podcasts on video now

Spoiler

just my option but I think he got a lot of legit heat for that uncharted 3 review I know most of ign at the time did not agree there's even callbacks to it now and then

 

[Nugg]

87 metacritic prediction. Mostly 8s, 8.5 and 9s with an odd 6

Spoiler

probably from Polygon

.

 

[kpaadet]

Polygon: "meh" -750,000/10

 

[Einbroch]

Enough with the polygon bitching.
They do decent reviews. Its one persons opinion anyway.

I think it's mostly in good fun. I enjoy reading people's mock Polygon reviews. Now if people are honestly upset then that's on them.

 

[Cornbread78]

9 to 9.5 from most sensible places. I even know one reviewer playing the Evil side on Vita as we speak .

I hope that doesn't get overlooked in reviews, I would love to hear how it performs on VITA via remote play!

 

[Maninthemirror]

Metascore: 84 pred

 

[Hyb]

Enough with the polygon bitching.

Agree. Its just one site. Bitching on it is getting abit old.

 

[dark_prinny]

Expecting lots of 8´s and one or two 9´s.

 

[Demi_God]

I hope it breaks that elusive 90 metascore barrier. It would signal that Sucker Punch has a critically-acclaimed hit on their hands, akin to other beasts like TLoU, Bioshock Infinite or the first two Arkham games.

To be honest, in order to get an accurate metascore, people should automatically drop polygon when getting an average of any numerical score.

 

[sjay1994]

87 metacritic prediction. Mostly 8s, 8.5 and 9s with an odd 6.

6 probably from edge/polygon

 

[Deimo5]

Rev3 = 3/5

[Zalman]

3 minutes left. Let me lay down a prediction.

86.

 

[Shadownet]

Come on Infamous! Give me some good scores before my final exam!




Getting the game regardless.

You better give us some good scores too! Or we're calling your mother!

 

[LegendofDragoonLives]

Would hilarious if Polygon gives it a 10 after the shit they've been getting here.

Worked perfectly for me, was playing last night doing some side missions at my sisters house while watching my niece.

 

[I-hate-u]

Watch out for potential power spoilers folks.

 

[KalBalboa]

To be honest, in order to get an accurate metascore, people should automatically drop polygon when getting an average of any numerical score.

Quoted for truth.

 

[shandy706]

Translation from the 8.5 review on variation in gameplay.

Too little variation

What's less fun, the variation in the game, rather, that is not really there. And this is exactly the part you think: here was so much more in it. In InFamous you're basically just a simple errand boy, who then returned to that point needs to refurbish a job and then go back to another point.

Meanwhile, you are always thwarted by DUP often in entire areas of the city is in charge. Shit is boring then additionally the amount of enemies that you will be attacked, though repeatedly entire armies are your graduated. The first few times it's great, because the action is so fast and smooth.

Google translate is freaking hilarious to read. It still got an 8.5 despite that. I wonder if any reviews will really key on it.

 

[ElTorro]

Holding our breaths.

 

[ethomaz]

87 meta just to read the fuzz about it killing the other big release this month.

 

[shmoglish]

This is the start of a rap verse isn't it?

Just the chorus for the new Lilly Allen Song.

Meta: 80-85

 

[sjay1994]

Yikes.

Damn

 

[Cyberia]

I knew he would give it a 6. His is the worst opinion in all of gaming

[breakfuss]

And as I've said before, the numbers don't support the Polygon hate. They actually score PS exclusives above the meta-average, lol. At least last I checked.

 

[Markitron]

the accuracy of this is too good...

Does anyone take Polygon seriously anymore?

 

[Gurish]

Polygon: The only game worse than Infamous is TLOU

Damn i still can't forget they gave fucking TLOU a 7.5, i know opinions and all but it's so out of place, even if you don't think it's GOTY at least you can appreciate the quality and give it an 8 out of respect.

Well at least in their GOTY awards it seems like most writers in their site didn't agree with this review at all and it ranked high on their list.

 

[TheFurizzlyBear]

The Polygon hate makes me laugh, my guess is they give it an 8.5 or at least an 8.
