I prefer to go to metacritic and see what the user opinion is, and when the user opinion is flooded with 182 negative reviews something is wrong with the game...

Overall by critics is a 6.9, either way doesn't look good.

I'm hoping Infamous second son is good

Thief gameplay didn't look good

Game Informer is generally pretty fair, and overall they line up more often than not with metacritic scores. It appears however that a review will be in next month's issue.

Infamous might be what finally pushes me to buy a ps4.
I loved the first two.

If you end up getting a ps4 and never played tomb raider, get the ps4 version of it. fun game, awesome graphics.

Similiar style to Uncharted

Original Thief was awesome, but it frustrated the hell out of me though. Admittedly, I'm not big on slow sneak-based games.

Still going to try this though.

If anyone has gotten it let me know how it is.

yea, original was a whole lotta creeping

Sound was a big part of it too, you had to have the volume cranked listening to the stupid guards talking and shit. LMAO

Actually I remember bounding through the levels with no repercussions. You moved so fast and the guards wouldn't follow very far. It was kind of disappointing that I could do that, really. I would typically reload and do it the proper way after.

Price is dropping like a rock. I expect this to be like Tomb Raider. A good, but flawed game that under performs upon release so they panic and drop the pricing. Like, Tomb Raider, I will pick it up for $5 in a month or so.

$26

It sucks. It's not even as good Deus Ex: HR.

A city full of closed doors and dead ends, boxed in and lined with nothing but rough edges: That's Thief.P

It's hard to know quite where to begin with a shambling mediocrity such as this. It's a game that could have been great and is instead a lumpy, frumpy disappointment, outclassed on all sides by its contemporaries and struggling mightily for a foothold in a world that's moved on to better things.

Quote:

An eager player might be champing at the bit to start exploring, but reality is far less exciting than it may have seemed at first blush. The City is obstinate and confusingly designed, and its sprawl is mostly an illusion. What initially looked free and open is revealed to be locked in irons, little more than a collection of cramped corridors stacked on top of one another and placed between you and your next objective.

Quote:

The City has more dead-ends than it has escape routes. It's constantly patrolled by dangerous guards, but if they spot you, whatever chase ensues will likely be brief, ending either with Garrett cornered or with the player taking advantage of one of several ridiculous ways to exploit enemies' shonky artificial intelligence. For example, you can begin to jimmy open a window and guards will immediately stop chasing you, even if they were right on your heels. Curses, he got away! 2

It's okay - I'm a bigger fan of Murdered Soul Suspect - by the same studio and about the same time of release.

not big on Stealth games

Me either. Generally when a game even has a stealth mission i try to find a way around it using brute force.

I was never a big fan either until I started playing them. Now I love them.
