It's out? I will probably rent it when I get the chance.

It's one of those games you can run around and ignore the story and still enjoy yourself, so I'm a fan of it. The melee combat isn't exactly deep, but if you use the projectile powers it feels like a third-person shooter. So if your into that sort of thing give it a shot.

sorry cuz, it's out, i have it, whoo-hoo!

8 hours is more than enough to review a sandbox game.

8 hours is enough to review Portal, not a game of any actual size. And it's definately not enough to review a serious sandbox game. Specifically, no one should review a game they haven't finished (and played fairly thoroughly) unless there's a damn good reason not to finish it. Unless you support rushed and inaccurate reviews, that is...

8 hours is more than enough for a reviewer to learn the gameplay, get the basic feel of the levels and story.

If you want to comeplete everything and see all the endings/cutscenes/stuff it will probably take more than 8 to 10 hours.

It's enough to get the feel of the game. However, it's not enough to review it, or at least it shouldn't be. Would you trust a movie review where the reviewer only watched the first 30 minutes?

I'm not saying the reviewer should finish every tiny detail of the game, but at least play it from start to finish once. Without that, you're simply not doing your job.

So you bought/played it already?

 

[hailmagus]

Wait, its already out?! Damn, am I clueless, or what?

It's released tomorrow where I'm at. I don't know buddy, I was able to play a little inFamous the other day and I'm pretty impressed (since the games are often compared to each other being extremely similar) too bad it's for PS3, though and me being a 360 man. But I don't see why a port wouldn't be possible in the future...

No I haven't played or have seen a review of Prototype or anything. I thought Australia gets everything last, how is it available there before America? (not trying to sound like an American dick, it's a genuine question)

To be honest..you can finsih alot of games in under 8 hours(main quest without doing sidequests, hidden objects etc etc)

 

[GOATOFRAGE]

i havent got it
it seeems like a good concept but also like it may not fufill the hype/expectations
waiting for reviews on this one

 

[Halfbreed13]

I WANT IT SOOOOOO BAD

Fucking gamestop doesn't have it shipped yet... tonight... tonight....

 

[Fangface74]

It's one of the best sandbox titles out, if you enjoyed Hulk:Ultimate Destruction, then you will LOVE this, in fact the story, gameplay and it's mechanics are pretty much re-skins of H:UD.

Heavily populated city, loadsa damage to unleash and plenty of ability's to do it with!

(They should have combined the Musclemass & Hammerfist powers though....)

 

[GodsOneMistake]

I would buy it if I had an extra 40 bucks, oh well back to infamous till I can make some cashola

 

[hopeneverdies]

Hey asshole, that's my review. Sorry I didn't get caught up in the hype train and expected it to be the best game ever. After a boring summer, it was nice to have a hack'n'slash game.

Sorry, the whole armor degradation and controls just pushed me over the edge.

Armor degradation? I haven't played it yet, please explain.

Over time, your armor starts getting weaker and weaker as it gets damaged. Now imagine for a moment, that you are fighting a boss, and you suddenly notice you are taking a lot more damage. Then again you probably won't be wearing the same armor for too long because of auto leveling and that weapon you wanted feels a lot less awesome when you do get it because it won't be long until you get a better weapon.

That's not quite the compliment you think it is.

 

[King_Pickles]

nah its infamous for me

 

[Blade3dge]

DAMN still no release date for Australia and that`s one of things wrong with the country I live in.

What the hell are you on about? I'm going to sleep now so I can wake up tomorrow morning and walk across the street to the videogame store to buy it.

 

[t.tocs]

Most places are telling people it's not coming out until tomorrow

Some reviews have come in already from the low credibility/unknown sites and they are pretty good. Mainly 80-90's and 4's out of 5.

 

[Fizzlewinks]

It was supposed to come out today round here. However, when I went to pick it up at the GameStop I pre-ordered at I was informed it was delayed until tomorrow. I called out of work today to get it. =/

 

[Abedeus]

If you are still unsure whether to pick it or not...

Each next reason is better than the last one.
