Sessler being....Sessler

Exactly, dude is a joke and has no credibility in my book.
OT: tomorrow cannot come soon enough.

Eurogamer has its reasons

"Infamous sets its sights as a solid AAA game and not one bit more. As such, it can never achieve better than an 8/10.

It fails to address the issues of previous games, so that is where the points get knocked off."

well..

Here is my review for the spanish site Akihabara Blues:

http://akihabarablues.com/analisis-de-infamous-second-son-para-ps4/

Just for the heads up. Self promotion is not allowed in NeoGAF.

 

[BigSpleenAttack]

I don´t see anything wrong with the scores, i´m surprised there´s a lot of 9, the game is clearly a 7, maybe an 8 for it´s graphics only.

Looks like a next gen game, plays like a old gen game = 7-8 is fair.

Thats BS, whats is next gen gameplay? It doesn't exist, gameplay slowly evolves over time, it's a bs statement.

 

[sleeping_dragon]

Sessler giving Titanfall a 5/5 despite the game having basic features missing makes his inFamous review that much more of a joke.

Really? He give Titanfall a perfect score with all the missing features of a MP and the game has many technical issues as well? What a joke that guy is.

 

[gbpackers25]

I'm happy with a reviews averaging out in the 80's. I love the Infamous series and I will hold my judgements until I play it

 

[Shadownet]

He gave Titanfall a 5/5?

Sessler is a goddamn joke.

 

[TheSlySoul]

Seems like it is a good game with getting a mix of 9's and 8's. I am going to wait for a sale because I like the inFAMOUS games alright, but not a huge fan of them. Too many games came out in March and had to pick and choose what to play. That being said, I am glad it is a good game.

 

[Mrbob]

Ha Sessler getting grilled and now we love Polygon!!

Never change gaf!

What? Sessler always gets grilled .

 

[Loudninja]

Just for the heads up. Self promotion is not allowed in NeoGAF.

You can post you own reviews,Jim just did it.

 

[Feorax]

So Edge says it looks like shit, and Sessler says it plays like shit.

And yet it's sitting mid 80's on metacritic.

These are not really subjective statements. Really highlights the problem with certain areas of the games press.

[Impeccable]

Just for the record, Sessler has been a joke "on the whole" on NeoGAF since last year's E3 and I don't see any love for Polygon aside from, "Well colour me surprised!"

So let's knock if off with the generic comments.

 

[sjay1994]

Some one please explain to me what "next-gen" plays like?

 

[boredandlazy]

Serious question since I haven't played either game just yet. So according to people Sessler complained about how it felt like a last gemgame in a new coat of paint, what does Forza 5(which he gave a high score) play like in regards to last gen/this gen?

 

[teiresias]

Sessler . . . a sad little man-child. I wish he'd just leave the industry to people who are still willing to put in some critical thinking skills to it . . . of course, that's at best like three people (maybe). He should outline how a "next-gen" game plays so we know how he's judging gameplay in future reviews. Hell, he should probably send out a white paper to all the development houses so that they can all start actually designing "next gen" gameplay since he apparently knows what that even means.

 

[Skilletor]

So it succeeds as a incredible super hero game but a mediocre open world game.

Sounds good to me

I would agree with this from what I've played.

 

[Deku Tree]

Wide range of scores.

 

[redtails64]

Videogamer's review... Ugh, I can't even deal.

 

[Alpende]

Ha Sessler getting grilled and now we love Polygon!!

Never change gaf!

Ha, I got the same feeling. GAF was always raving about Sessler and how good he was in his videos. Now they're shitting on him.

I don't get it and I don't really care. He's just 1 guy out of a dozen other reviewers.

well..

What issues? Great open world fun, good story? What else where they expecting?

 

[N.Domixis]

Ah, reviews spread out from 7-9.5. People who wanted a reason not to like the game will jump on the low scores, fans will jump on the higher scores. Sounds about right.

Everything I have heard is calling this the best Infamous yet, and that's all I need to know.

maybe we should remove everything below a an 8 in the op? lol

 

[Slixshot]

Right? I'd rather have 10 hours of fun than 20 hours of mediocre. The thread's not about GTAV, so I won't keep pressing the topic, but that game was over rated in my opinion.


Either way, can't wait for this game.

I believe as long as you don´t make a new thread it is.

inFAMOUS runs higher than 15fps and actually loads textures so, yeah I'll take inFAMOUS.

This was my GTA experience on PS3 for a full 40 hours. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHGb1ab_6UM

BS Rockstar. Complete BS. Never again will I buy a Rockstar game day one after being burnt like this.

But I digress....

 

[AlphaDump]

I'm OK with critics using the whole scale finally. I'm really surprised that they don't like infamous games as much as I do. Weird...

totally agree. prior infamous game reviews were oddly harsh on the games considering how well it was executed from a rather modest team. cant really decide on SS before i play it though.

 

[Lazygamer]

Lazygamer - 9/10

shameless plug

 

[Vashetti]

All these reviews are irrelevant without the day one patch.

What a clusterfuck.

 

[Gigglepoo]

Damn, its looking like the next killzone shadow fall...

It's my favorite open-world game in years.

I'm going to Best Buy tomorrow to get a copy without pre-order. I'm old school like that.

The next Infamous should have wall running and titans, then it will truly be next gen gameplay!!!!

We must be on different sites. Sessler is always getting shit on for his reviews.

 

[melos]

Just a heads up.... Anybody not wanting to get powers spoiled for them should avoid the ign review.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

I find it hilarious how GTA V set a benchmark. In what boring mini games that add nothing to the game?

 

[hbkajshdvfbkjhvgkahsgdfka]

Some of you guys...

 

[Kenshin001]

Solid scores. About what I expected and in line with the previous games. A nice addition to the PS4's catalogue but not a system seller.

 

[Prince Vultan]

Ha Sessler getting grilled and now we love Polygon!!

Care to point out where you're getting this from? Or is this just the usual strawman shit?

Solid scores. About what I expected and in line with the previous games. A nice addition to the PS4's catalogue but not a system seller.

Looking at sales, it seems the system doesn't need a "seller" yet

 

[velcry]

Sessler . . . a sad little man-child. I wish he'd just leave the industry to people who are still willing to put in some critical thinking skills to it . . . of course, that's at best like three people (maybe).

Actually I'm pretty surprised. I've been following Sessler and I found that most of his reviews were balanced. So it's a bit startling that he gave this game 6/10, when it's clear that his review score is an outlier so far...

 

[Pillville]

Really? He give Titanfall a perfect score with all the missing features of a MP and the game has many technical issues as well? What a joke that guy is.

He's got to support his friends.

Frame rate for GTAV on PS3 is so bad. I found it nauseating to play. Can't wait for Infamous though!

I haven't been here for years but i always saw him getting grilled here.
