They (being edge magazine) said that if infamous 2 was better than crackdown 2 that they would admit fault or something like that. I read it in their magazine. And they had the NERVE to give that horrible crackdown game an 8 out of 10.
Oh please. Sucker punch deserved the accolades with all the hard work they did. There's no praising ign. Fuck those asshats. Infamous 2 was totally deserving of a high score.
In my honest opinion, they are just settling the waters until they give another ps3 exclusive an unexpectedly low score.
There's still uncharted 3 and twisted metal. Ign will ALWAYS equal IGNORANT.

You can find it the same place he did. They posted the news here on n4g every time at the end of the year, and if you googled it up, you would get it. Its that simple. No ones making this shit up.
Know whats even more funny dirtrider? Fools like you who jump to defend their 360 fanboy brethren, and twist this news into some un-necessary fanboy debacle.
Your boy Organization expressed surprise laced with contempt with the news of Ninja gaiden being featured on Playstation mag (what the hell?!?!), he got called out and corrected for it, and you come in with some "ps3 fanboy" double standards bullshit.
hilarious. Im sure this news hurts your fee...
Its hilarious to see how far someone will dig to try and make this website seem like 2006-2007 all over again. It's not just Loner alone, its like a handful of fools digging for negative articles no matter how exaggerating and ridiculous they seem.
Who the fuck critiques grammar in a damned gaming website? His sentence was clear enough to read, and you simply decided to clock his statement in an ignorant way simply because he said something positive about a ps3 title and ignored the heavily exaggerated article.
I hate it when fools stoop that low to insult sentence structure. Get a life.
wtf happened with the "cult classic" bit? There's nothing "cult classic" worthy about a damn flight and fight game.
Sadly, im expecting that the media will not give this game the recognition it deserves. They hardly ever do when it comes to ps3 exclusives. It will get nitpicked to death.
However that WILL NOT deter my experience with this fabulous title. Great job sucker punch. I hope they achieve some very good sales with this title.
Something tells me that this game is going to get unfairly hammered by critics. Lbp2 took a small hit, killzone 3 three took a MAJOR hit, and infamous 2 will be next. Just wait to see the ridiculous claims that will try to justify the unfair scores. Bet on it.
-too much variety
-cole looks/sounds too generic
-zero replay value (despite level edition)
-ps3 exclusive
Correction, jim sterling is a morbidly obese, ignorant, illiterate, biased a-hole.
Didn't they do something like this last year? They aired it on nearly all major cable networks with youthful audiences. Logotv, mtv, spiketv, and a few other networks with that un-necessary cirqe de soleil, white poncho act that nobody thought was entertaining in the slightest.
Thats exactly what they do. If its a gutted copy, you can best believe that an employee has taken it home to play it. As an ex-employee, we were able to open up brand new games and take them home and try them out as long as they remained unscratched.
Kinda bullshit, but thats what they do.
screw ign. Sony should just blackball these fools.
ROFL now that psn is back online, something else MUST be scrambled for to rag against sony with. Classic. Just classic.
halleloo. I agree wholeheartedly. Though sony could have handled this with its users a bit more closely, there was no way it was as heinous as the flood of fearmongering, exaggerating, hysteria seeking, flamebaiting articles from so called "journalists" who nosedived into this fiasco and blew it completely out of proportion. Even today, as psn is restored, journalists are still attempting to twist it into a negative.
Just another idiotic article by loner for sure.
it isnt that bad, but it isn't that spectacular either. Slightly above average, but nowhere near great.
After this whole psn fiasco, ps3 gamers should be able to tell the legitimate gaming news sources from the tabloid, unprofessional, and biased ones.
Ign, kotaku, destructoid, industrygamers, cvg, are prime examples of places to avoid for damn sure. Their coverage was downright heaping horrid trash.
Ign have been one of the frontrunners of some of the most biased, fearmongering, un-necessary, trash articles these past few weeks on all things ps3 related and I dont see how ANY Ps3 gamer in their right mind would take ANYTHING they say as logical credence.
And arent they part of some MS partnership program on xboxlive? That ALONE should have gotten their asses blackballed by sony.
what baffles me about this is that this "loner" troll is able to post flame bait, irrelevant drivel, and no moderator has done ANYTHING to address the situation. The guy has one damn bubble and for the past few hours has been submitting negative, uninsightful, and ridiculous opinion pieces.
But the moderators have enough time to compress the excess of comments in the articles? Wtf?
I don't agree with eurogamers scores on the franchise at all. Sorry.
Infamous 1 didn't deserve a 7
Infamous 2 sure as hell didn't deserve just an 8 when it comes to the factor of how much sucker punch improved upon the original whatsoever. Much more than a miniscule 1 point increase.
But a good score, is a good score even if its given to a "great" game.
