oh no-

 

[BigSpleenAttack]

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.

Me too, but don't think it will. to many "It plays like infamous" bs, What else did they expect it to play like? Grad games for what they are not what they are not.

 

[pokeystaples]

Solid 81 on metacritic. I'm guessing a 7.0 from Poly. Any higher will be very surprising.

 

[Cornbread78]

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

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

Polygon: The only game worse than Infamous is TLOU. You're lucky we weren't around when Uncharted 3 was released.

Polygon: "Delsyn or whatever his name is looks like a douchebag. in real life i would want to kick his ass"
- 6/10

OK, these are too much, everyone is standing up prarie dog style trying to figure out what I'm laughing at in my cube... Keep 'em comin' GAF.

Ouch

 

[Footos22]

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.

People forget their Forza Horizon: 6 review all to easily and just shout "Moneyhats" at any time a sony game comes up before they have even released the review.

Haha holy shit. Sessler basically said it looks pretty but doesn't play like a next gen game. Lol. Oh Sessler.

 

[Soren01]

Hahaha, my 74 is coming!

 

[thuway]

Since we are only one minute away, one review comes from a guy who is not a graphics whore and it essentially reads:

"This is the first next gen game and the most impressive game graphically I've ever seen."

Gonna be so good

 

[WhupTroy]

I'm going w/ 93

 

[Ashtar]

89 metacritic lock it in!

 

[Coldnoodle]

 

[Evil Supremacy]

1 min, my beanie is ready, going with a metascore prediction of 85

Yikes.

Hopefully not too many more of those.

 

[skybald]

Metacritic doesn't mean shot so my prediction for the site is whatever.

Brace yourselves, reviews are dropping in....

 

[Dawg]

Just gonna drop my opinion here:

+ Gorgeous graphics, best I've seen on PS4 so far
+ Very fluid gameplay
+ AI gives you a decent challenge
+ Powers offer different playstyles, they all feel unique and different

- disappointing story, ending is anti-climax
- Only about six or seven actual characters in the entire game, including Delson, his brother and the final boss. Makes the game feel a little empty and lacking on characters. The rest are just random civilians and enemy soldiers.
- Only about six or seven different enemy types, including the final boss. And most of them feel too similar.

Can someone summarize for me? I'm not in a place where I can listen to this now but I'm still curious. Thanks.

 

[BigSpleenAttack]

Haha holy shit. Sessler basically said it looks pretty but doesn't play like a next gen game. Lol.

Sigh, what do reviewers expect what is next gen gameplay??? It doesnt exists gamepkay will just evolve over time, there is no such thing, idiot.

Eurogamer - 7/10

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-03-19-infamous-second-son-review

As pretty and playable as it is, in no sense is inFamous: Second Son a post-Grand Theft Auto 5 open-world game. It's just a tidier, shorter and shinier one. It's easy to enjoy and has a winning personality, but it's reluctant to deviate from a stale streetmap of game city. It's no rebel, then. In fact, it's a conformist.

 

[Tratorn]

Team 80.

 

[TheHall]

Is this the part where we disagree with Sessler before we have played the game ourselves? (except for those select few)

 

[Markitron]

7/10 on Eurogamer

 

[LifEndz]

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

I could see that and it's probably for the best. His reviews were pretty subpar anyway. His dead space 2 review...just wow. I stopped listening to beyond years ago because he seemed hell bent on popping my eardrums with all his screaming.

 

[Zephyrus]

so everyone's opinion so far is that the game is better than the other two yet it scores lower?

Eurogamer 7/10

 

[purpletentacle]

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

Guys, stop picking on Sessler. He'll lash out at us again... mostly in tears... and with lots of $10 words.

 

[sjay1994]

Haha holy shit. Sessler basically said it looks pretty but doesn't play like a next gen game. Lol. Oh Sessler.

Sigh, I knew this was going to be the thing.

The hell does a next gen game play like?

IGN: 8.7

 

[Blimblim]

Our review is up (full only in French) along with many videos. Very little spoilers in these, just read the text if you want to avoid any kind of spoilers at all so you can avoid the ones who show even a sliver of story.
Our videos clearly show the game runs at more than 30 fps, something like 40-45 most of the time. Many will think it's a good thing, personally I'd rather have locked 30 fps at all times.
Our reviewer liked the game quite a bit, even though it's not that different from the previous Infamous games, except for the graphics of course!

You need good metacritic scores to enjoy games?

No but I not overly impressed by what they have shown so I need some convincing.
