Hey guys, where's the best place to get this? PSN still doing the $10 back thing?

Finished yesterday.

 

[Maninthemirror]

So I preordered on Amazon and it said it would arrive March 25th. WTF.

cancelled my amazon order and just picking it up from gamestop

 

[velcry]

My first thought was, LOL, when did Luffy ever wear a skirt.

 

[Squalor]

Hey guys, where's the best place to get this? PSN still doing the $10 back thing?

That ended yesterday.

 

[GrumpyOutlander]

Loved infamous 1 so I hope everyone enjoys this game. Can't wait to play when I eventual get a PS4.

 

[Neuromancer]

I have to say I didn't like Delsin's look at first but he's actually a very likeable and sympathic character. A big improvement over Cole.

Nope. Promo ended ended Mar 18.

 

[Magicman103]

This game sucks. No one is even gonna buy it.

1/10 because Delsin doesn't have the power to make girls take off their shirt.

He no has dat $wagger power.

Methinks he needs more mountain dew and doritos.

 

[Chamber]

I think a wooden board would be an improvement over Cole.

Whats the embargo time?

Accidentally clicked on the spoiler thread and seen some screens...nooooo! But fuck yeeeeah!

 

[vypek]

I'm very excited to play this game. I rarely get this excited to play a game. My local gamestop is having a midnight launch party; definitely going to drive over and pick up my copy at 12AM

 

[Qvoth]

i've only watched the streams, but i think the lowest score this will get is 8, it would be absurd to get anything below

Absurd to set a baseline based on a stream , I'm guessing 7's-9's = 79 Metacritic. Infamous will get panned on side quests

 

[ref]

Finally went out and preordered today, usually don't preorder stuff, but I really like the look of some of the pre order vests.

EB Games was out of CE's though, so had to settle with the standard, but that's all right!

 

[Stillmatic]

I want gies to review the game and be done with it.

So we can move on and don't discuss anything polygon.

Is he reviewing it?

 

[Blitzrules240]

Well it's almost Friday.

At least March Madness should soften the blow of waiting.

 

[billy beane]

Cole sucked so much. Him being taken out of Second Son makes it that much more appealing to me.

 

[Joeki11a]

I vividly remember the Infamous 1 OT, that amazing gif.

Have you played it?

And that wasn't meant to be the snarky kind of "have you played it". Genuinely interested to hear more about the sidequests.

 

[nycgamer4ever]

Absolutely. But there wouldn't be this much excitement if it weren't for the fact that inFamous should be the first high quality PS4 release in months and that it should be the PS4's best AAA exclusive thus far by a large margin.

The same can be said for Titanfall and the Xbox One. These are two big games that are even bigger because of what limited quality has preceded them on these platforms due to their infancy. It's not a knock on either game, it's just the reality of the situation.

No games? Of course not. No new, quality games? I think that was an apt assessment for both consoles until Titanfall and inFamous released. Tomb Raider was the last high quality release, at least for AAA games, and it was a "definitive edition" of a game a lot of people had already played last year.

I didn't intend for my comment to be a slight. I'm simply pointing out that games like Titanfall and inFamous are getting even more attention from the hardcore base than they would otherwise due to releasing early this gen, that's all.

I don't known where you've been but there are new games every month since launch. I didn't play Tombraider and unless it sold 80,000,000 copies many others didn't wither so that is a AAA release. MGS released on Tues. come on now.

 

[Squalor]

Have you played it?

And that wasn't meant to be the snarky kind of "have you played it". Genuinely interested to hear more about the sidequests.

At times, they can still get a little repetitive, but there is more variety than in the first two games of the series.

 

[Spinluck]

Nope. Promo ended ended Mar 18.

Fuck

 

[Boogalogist]

Is he reviewing it?

If you read a few pages back, he reviews every game, one way or another.

I've beaten it 100% and I must say that the sidequests are the worst part about this game. They're repetitive and not fun after a while.

Most of the time, completing side quests in games just feels like checking off a box.

"Okay, that's done. Now this. Then that. Then that."

 

[LookAtMeGo]

I feel bad for Troy Baker. All this Delsin looks like a douche talk... slap a beanie on this guy and BAM its Delsin

 

[Stillmatic]

Just had a look, and wow, I never knew that. It's even worse than I thought, what an embarrassment.

 

[wedward]

You forgot

- not on xbox one
- on ps4

Can you explain to me step by step how your brain arrived at this comment?

 

[Replicant]

Fucking JB Hifi. I came today asking if I can pick mine and they said the release is not until tomorrow. That's the big diff? It's just one day earlier. *sigh* :/

 

[Gaz_RB]

Shucks. Guess most the focus went to the main storyline.

I'm not really surprised that the sidequests are disappointing though.

You could be a spy!


:/ My mom and pop store did the same thing.

 

[Squalor]

7-8 review scores confirmed

The game isn't getting a significant number of 7s at all. They'll be 8s and 9s, mostly.

And the side missions aren't any worse than the first two games in the series.

 

[Skilletor]

I haven't done many sidequests in the game. The story content is pretty meaty and fun.

I dunno, just running around exploring is actually fun in this. For me, the most important thing in an open world game is how fun it is to get around. I think this game has that nailed. And then, on top of that, I get these awesome powers with really cool abilities. That they're so cool makes me actually want to run around and explore and do missions because getting new powers is an excellent reward.

I'm about to get the 3rd power, so I'm not sure how far into the game I am, and I'm not really one to put a number or grade to an experience. All I can say is that i'm really having a lot of fun. The gameplay is great and open with how you approach it. The grahpics are amazeballs. The sound is awesome (I played with my headphones on last night and noticed a lot of little stuff I couldn't hear coming from my tv speakers).

I don't think the game is groundbreaking or innovative or whatever other buzzwords people feel like every game needs to be. It's a well crafted open-world super hero experience. I can't wait to get back to it, but unfortunately I have homework to do.

Once you get it, please post your reaction to the third power. I would love to see it

Without naughty dog and MM, sony would not have any critically acclaimed games. Their first party's need to focus more on gameplay than graphics to earn higher scores.

 

[sjay1994]

You gotta think positive dude.

God damn, I want to be. But reviewers have been constantly criticizing second son, and I know they are going to trash the game.

I mean, the media was praising titanfall like it was the second coming of christ, and it has an 86 on metacritic.

I just don't understand reviews.

 

[Skilletor]

I've heard what it is, but haven't seen anything. I'm really looking forward to it. I think I'm REALLY close to getting it. I might stay up late tonight to play a bit.

Yeah, God of War III, Infamous, Killzone 2, Metal Gear Solid 4, MLB, and Ratchet and Clank aren't critically acclaimed at all . . .

 

[LookAtMeGo]

But all their critically acclaimed games have awesome graphics.

inFamous isn't a game based purely around gameplay?

Okay then.

 

[Squalor]

Good lord, gamer mentality is so ridiculously warped. It's pathetic.

Any game with an 8 or higher average is a critically acclaimed game.
