The Official Infamous Thread!!!

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Yeah, the only games that seemed to ever crack mainstream with ads are huge.

That is a very nice place to have an ad too. Before Terminator Salvation.

And, no...I only got one. But, I might end up with two. I was supposed to get the voucher when I picked up the game, as per the Gamestop website atleast. So, if it's another worker at Gamestop...who knows?

I just picked up my Gigawatt Blades voucher for inFAMOUSup: and I picked up Terminator Salvation and Bionic Commando, WOO HOO LOL!!!up:

Hows Terminator?

For anyone in the UK, we can get the Gigawatt blades with the special edition of Infamous. I saw it in Game earlier today.

 

[uchiha_itachi]

too bad i HATE the case the SE is in...im not a fan of those "digipack" cases.

also terminator salvation suuuuuuuuuuuuucks....the review on gametrailers was so bad lol

 

[Lucien]

I like the comic style art, I think it suits the feel of the game, so I'm not worried about the different cover.

 

[Electro UK]

The next string of reviews has been a load of 8s and a 7. Although I'm thinking that 7 may be more in line with the actual game than other reviews.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Are you talking about the Eurogamer review? Why do you say that?

 

[Electro UK]

They talk about stuff like how dissapointing it was the that powers were essentially just normal weapons from any other game, which I totally agree with. I just think its wasted potential.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Oh, well, I've always found I disagree with Eurogamer about 90-95% of the time. Everything has been quite positive, though, so I think it'll be alright

 

[The Guardian]

Hows Terminator?

I haven't played it yet, I know the reviews say it sucks and that it's very short, but I had already bought it at the time!!! I would've bought it anyways because I'm a big fan of the series, I just got back from picking up my midnight show tickets for tonight, but I probably would have waited for the price to go down!!! I'm sure the game has some fun to be had as shown in the trailers, so I'll enjoy it while it lasts, hey at least it's an easy Platinum trophy so it's not all bad, I'll let you know what I think in the appropriate thread once I finish it!!!

OT: InFAMOUS, from what I've played of the Demo is one of the most surprising games this year, people will always criticize things to death, I prefer to form my own conclusions!!!

 

[kingman]

This will be the next new release I buy... I'm looking forward to it

^^This review is one of the more idiotic ones. One of the complaints was that they miss jacking cars and using guns. Seriously, in a superhero game? GTA-****e anyone?

Nice, thanks Spider-Jay, Eurogamer's a joke, DIE INFIDELS DIE lol!!!

 

[DeGenerate10]

Only 6 days till inFamous comes out I can't wait

 

[Electro UK]

Okay that is pretty positive. I remember Uncharted getting a lot of 8s and that's generally hailed as one of the best games out there at the moment with hindsight (seeing as it is). So I'll still be picking it up. YAY!

 

[BatMatt]

Nice reviews. With Arkham Asylum delayed a few months, I can afford to pick this game up at launch.

Should hold you over for a while too until AA comes out

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Yeah...I think I should be busy with two playthroughs of inFamous until Arkham Asylum hits.

This is going to be a long 5 days waiting to play this game

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

The demo should keep me at bay though.

 

[Rocker22]

I just checked to see if the demo was up yet...it wasn't.

 

[Sam Fisher]

Where's the demo?

 

[Tron Bonne]

The demo is up in the EU store, I just downloaded it The US store hasn't been updated yet
