I wasn't a huge fan of the first two but had heard they had improved the gameplay on this one. Plus it sounds like the story and side quests are pretty hollow in this one.what were the things you were worried about?
I was surprised to see some of the bigger review sites giving the lower scores.Yea mines ready for pick up tomorrow. Gonna read some of those reviews today.

Ignoring the usual stupid shit that exdeath spews, these are all good points. Like I said, I've got the money for it and wouldn't mind something else to play right now, so I am sure I will grab it tomorrow. I am glad they focused on gameplay and graphics, but hopefully the next infamous will have a lot more story in it and things will be a little more fleshed out than they appear to me on this one.The reviews aren't that bad at all to me. If you avoid the no name sites giving lower than average scores for clicks. Hell knack and ryse got worse reviews but werent terrible games. The only major issues are that the morality is black and white. Either you pick the bad guy route and are rewarded for mass destruction and never have any reason to be a do-gooder or you go the good guy way and never have any reason to take the evil route. They also said that there isn't a reason written into the story for the main character to do some of what he does or the indifference some of the side characters have to it. There is no moral gray area so that might feel dated. Also some of the characters aren't fleshed out and seem to be tossed aside after their mission is complete. Even still every review seems to praise the superhero style combat and the varying styles of powers you get from your moral choices. Bad guys can blow stuff up with ease while good guys can stop time to do pinpoint strikes on the bad guys and avoid civilian casualties.
The day one patch adds 5 hours of additional gameplay too. They said they will release new content every week for 6 weeks...for free.
Not enough burly meatheads and assault rifles I guess.
Who cares about "bigger review sites" anymore, they have proven to be worthless rubber stamps to mainstream marketing and expectations.
The bigger sites like ign and GameSpot are the only ones who don't have to give a super low or super high score on purpose just to draw clicks from people checking metacritic or game rankings. I take their review with a little bit more weight than some site nobody has heard of.
Looking forward to that. Now just a few more promises to fulfill and they won't pull a Sony this generation by not coming thru on promises.Finally the next update or so will allow the lightbar to be dimmed. Not sure why it can't be turned off.
Future DualShock 4 update for PlayStation 4 will add option to disable light bar

I guess the dimming makes the most sense, especially for households like mine where a lot of time my wife and I are playing coop, so we know which controller is which if we have to go do something. I just hate how bright it is. I know a lot of people think that it is a petty thing to complain about, but seeing the reflections of a bright blue and red light in my tv kind of breaks the immersion at times.I don't see why we can't get it to turn off. It's kind of sophisticated I suppose if you need firmware for the controller as well as the system. But I imagine it's powered by an led so dimming it should use less power. I don't expect battery life to be better unless it is off.

Yeah for some people it's not an issue, but for me it's annoying. I am just glad that both MS and Sony seem like they are going to be quick at fixing things that the community doesn't like, to a certain degree.To be honest I watch movies in the dark and play games in the dark too and the light bar has not annoyed me. What has though is the battery life. I have to charge every other day. My ps3 was charged like every I her week or so.
