Infamous: Second Son Review Thread

If this game reviews really lower than the first 2 games. I am not really surprised the lead designer was 'let go' i mean i will play this myself but you don't go from mid 80s to what i see is potentially late 70s without regression in design
 
Polygon does decent layouts, but god damn I wish they would stop using looping gifs in huge paneled sections, it's really distracting while you're trying to read text. Also, their default text size is for senior citizens.
 
I can already tell this is going to be a very polarizing game, if review scores are any indication.

What score I:SS will get depends on whether the reviewer plays the game with the mindset of either "it's just another InFamous game, or "this is the PS4's next gen showcase." I'm expecting around an 83-84, because reviewers will undoubtedly be more critical of it.
 
Couldn't care less about reviews for this, frankly. Every impression I've read from the guys that have played it here has been positive, and I love inFamous.

So getting it.
 
the fumes about polygon in the first few pages vs. the fact that they've given it a good score, i'm screaming
 
Pretty much. I'm not reading reviews until after I beat it. Can't risk them spoilers.

Sucker Punch and Sony asked us to not spoil the latter parts of the game. I don't even name the third and fourth powersets in my review, even though most of you know them already.
 
Just watched and wow, that sessler review is a joke. That man cannot loose any more credibility, he doesn't have any left.

Sounds like he was just being honest. I had big fears about this game being repetitive and having very few different enemies. Sounds like that could be an issue. Bought it anyways as I'm a sucker for open world and eye melting graphics. I can enjoy a 3/5
