Patch should be out in the next few days. Please God I hope they increase the difficulty of Expert. I'm saving that playthrough for hero run with

Well you see Delsin is Reggie's younger brother thus he is the second son...
Love infamous 2 but I think the simplicity in the control scheme makes SS the superior game to just have fun with powers.

Game really doesn't give any reason for it. I thought it would relate back to the first sons in infamous but nope.

Finished the game! Absolutely hated the last boss fight, ended up turning it down to easy just for the chance of swearing less.
For me there was some fun overall in between a mediocre game.
Stop having your boss fights indoors with these controls/camera and a game built on roaming around. I was constantly getting stuck on those tiny trees on the sides, the rails, behind those electric signs, it was infuriating.

Kessler/Cole was the leader of the First Sons/Conduit uprising
Delsin in this regard is the Second Son, taking down the DUP over the course of the game and basically leading a second uprising.

Im done! Well, for now at least. Completed my good playthrough, and I've also done everything else that isn't related to evil karma. Will come back in a while and do an evil playthrough.
All in all, I very much enjoyed this game. The story did sort of fizzle out after a while, and the enemy variety isn't great, but the gameplay is just so much fun that those flaws didn't bother me all that much. Although I did really only find two of the powers (smoke and
) all that enjoyable, since the others don't really let you quickly cover great distances in the air. And I love flying between buildings, high above the streets. So up until I got
I pretty much only used smoke, and after that I mostly used those two except when forced to use the others.
But yeah, still a great game that I enjoyed very much. 8/10, I think.

I thought the fight before the final boss was way harder.
Fighting Augustine while DUP people are infinitely spawning and shooting you from every direction. That was realllly frustrating for me. Final boss didn't seem bad after that.

Exporting video flies can't come soon enough, not at all happy with the quality of videos from FB.
Ugh.

Did you export the HD version from FB? It looks like it's the SD one.

Thought it was pretty funny I could just hide behind a column for 3/4 of the final boss.

Went through my first play through as a good guy and now am going back to finish up the trophies I missed as a bad guy.
It's a good game, but man those side missions are repetitive as hell. No variety whatsoever. Still I'm very glad to have played it and as a game in the launch window, it's more than satisfying.

Export as in download?
Yeah, I hit download HD. File size went from 143mb uploaded to 41.2mb downloaded. Did I do something wrong? It's my first time uploading a video from the PS4...
This game really grinds my gears with its incessant enemy spamming. You fight 325 DUP agents, get gunned down by number 326 and have to start all over again. Infamous more like Infamous. Enjoying this less than I initially thought I would.
Maybe play something else for a bit.

The game encourages you to be in motion when fighting, if you get complacent and stand still then 1 guy can easily take you down, because the AI in this game is accurate as hell, fortunately the AI isn't persistent(or unfortunately if you like a challenge
), if you break LOS they most likely won't pursue you faster then you heal back to full health, abuse each power's dash ability basically.For the second time, I had to restart a mission from the beginning because something decided not to trigger. I was taking pictures of Fetch's bra (bad Delsin!) when the game suddenly glitched, and the conversation that was supposed to occur after taking the picture didn't trigger. I took pictures of everything else I was supposed to, but the game still waited for me to trigger the other conversation, but the icon was gone because I already DID take a picture of it. Taking another picture of the general area didn't help. I couldn't even leave the area, because the game was forcing me into a walking state where I cannot jump or fall off a ledge.
What I think happened is that, when taking pictures, the game puts you into this walking, can't jump, can't use powers state. There were gunshots when the game glitched, which makes me think that the game thought I was under attack for a split second while I was taking that picture, quickly taking me out and then putting me back into this walking state. Somewhere in between two flags, one flag says I took the picture (the one that shows me where to take the picture) and another saying that I didn't (the one that lets me progress the story).

Have played through for the good ending. Are the evil choices fun enough to justify a second playthrough?
I'm not done my evil playthrough, but there a couple of different missions, different conversations, and your upgrade tree is different. I feel like Smoke is way better when your evil.
Also, your controller glows red instead of blue. NEXT GEN!
I just finished my second playthrough on Expert/Evil, and didn't think the choices really made any difference. All the choices revolve around the "Good=subdue; Evil=kill" method. Aside from some cutscenes playing out a bit different, there's not much to see.
And I personally thought the evil powers were crap compared to the good ones. No slowmo, no glide/aim with L2. Honestly I'm sitting here trying to think of a plus when it comes to the 'evil' upgrades and can't come up with anything.
I will say, though, that if you want the expert trophy, evil is the way to do it. Pretty simple just mowing everyone down.
I haven't beat it yet, but it definitely has the same problems the original Assassin's Creed had. Just same 5 - 7 activities per sector and rinse and repeat and other open world games where variety isn't the forte.
I really wish they had come up with different animations for these activities. I'm pretty tired of the same sequence every time I tag a wall or when I blow up a DUP truck. That would really have made things less monotonous. I beat the original Infamous after the PSN outage and I think it had the same problem but I wasn't too bothered by it. It was still fun.
This is the 3rd game in this series, was Infamous 2?structured the same way? Second Son is unbelievably gorgeous, but asides from visuals this isn't a next gen game.

Just finished this game, and really enjoyed it-
* Likeable characters
* Excellent voice cast
* Decent writing - not an overly ambitious/original story, but well told
* Incredible visuals - great variety of locations, lighting, weather, day/night, facial animations, character models
* fun powers - there's some overlap, but fun overall
* Good pacing / game length; looking forward to 2nd play-through as 'evil'
* Being from Seattle, great to see landmarks, both authentic and lookalikes (Mann's vs, Dicks Drive-in)
* Not a lot of profanity! I have an 8 year old that I play games with, and this is a fun sandbox game where he can watch me play or play himself, where there aren't f-bombs being thrown around just to make the game 'edgy'.

I keep seeing "not next gen" can you please elaborate on what you think a next gen game is?
The gameplay and mission structure took a step back from infamous 2. The not next gen argument is silly but I believe that is what most people are going for.
I meant that we could have had Second Son on PS3 (not as pretty of course) The gameplay didn't evolve in any way in my eyes at least. We're early this gen so obviously more is to come.
Gamestop is giving $40 flat till the end of the week. They ran the promotion for a month and ending this weekend.

One thing I kept looking for was Pike's Alley, but never could find it. I remember them showing it off in a screenshot with the gum wall. Where is this in the game?

About to cross the bridge, though I'll probably clean up the north shore before I move over. I'm shocked at how much I like the characters in Second Son, especially after the unfortunate catfights filling in for character development in Infamous 2. It really makes the whole thing a much more enjoyable experience, even though in theory I'm doing many of the same things I was doing in previous Infamous games.
Yep. The sidequests remind me of AC1. Just like AC1 they made a gorgeous city, solid gameplay mechanics, and...no content so you just do simple repetitive things over and over and it's boring.
Infamous 2 has a lot more variety. The main missions are longer and more interesting and the side stuff is pretty fun (like Infamous Festival of Blood has you searching for hidden messages in the city that you can only see in vampire vision with hidden arrow trails leading you to the messages). SS is definitely a step back in gameplay for a step forward in graphics (which unfortunately is a common theme in year 1/2 games on a new system) hopefully the sequel is a much better game. Infamous 2 and Festival of Blood are great games.

No chucks Delsin?
Just finished the game and I remember that in the developer walkthrough and in the trailer they showed Delsin wearing chuck taylors
Too bad they didn't stuck with em, I wonder why they changed them.
his outfit would've looked better with some chucks on.
just finished, fun game. i had a lot more fun with this than with infamous 2. i think movement was more fluid and responsive here, and that made a big difference.

i thought her character arc was pretty limp. her weird justification for her behavior..."i captured the kid to show the government it could be done..." seemed really half baked. a little more development would have added a lot.

Restarted the game on Expert as an evil dude after beating the game and getting all of the (possible) trophies being good, and man, the difficulty change really does make a difference. Fights feel like fights. Think this'll be my first platinum.

This game is pure joy, the best Infamous i have played. The history and characters (specially Delsin) are very likeable. Its a game i always play with a smile. And besides graphically is the best i have seen so far (plus the IQ thanks to the SMAA t2x solution is so good...). It makes me very optimist about future PS4 games, more even taking into account this is also an open world game.
Also the controls are the greatest of all open world games all around, in sensitiveness and lag ( i am looking at you ACIV ). Another thing to remark is that the new motion capture equiptment of Suker Punch really is paying off, in cinematics/story telling (the two previous games were a little archaic in this regard) this game is there at almost Naughty Dog top level.

Huh? Augustine
captured the kid to convince the doops that she's on their side, that conduits have their uses and to avoid ending up in a cage with the rest of them.
Not really.
No I think the paper trail stuff is great. What stinks is I hear people saying they think it's too much of a bother to go set up an account and use a computer, etc. I'll be honest, I put it off for a while because of the same reasons, but once I finally bit the bullet it's actually really cool and wish more games did things like this.
I haven't tried using Vita as a second screen. Does it have any functionality? Thinking maybe that would a have been a better device to handle the 'computer' stuff. Then again, I guess not everyone has a vita.
The soundtrack is showing up as free on the store... Was this planned, or just a nice little surprise?

Beat the game 100% Good karma playthrough
not going to bother with evil powers. Really loved the game A LOT! Just zipping around the city is so much fun in these games. I would love to play the first two infamous games on PS4 at 1080p and 60 FPS
Overall
beautiful artstyle and graphics
fun powers
travelling around the city is fun
destroying the dup architecture is fun
cons
forgettable missions
underused characters
generic story line (the first infamous had an amazing story..Dat ending!)
poor sound design
poor pedestrian AI (they don't really respond to your moves and the cars sometimes just freeze)
time of day lasts too long
poor weather effects
the boss fights here are mediocre
climbing the Augustine tower was lame compared to the tower in the first game
overall 8/10 since the powers are just fun to use
infamous 1 = infamous 2 >> infamous second son >>>> infamous dracula DLC

I've beaten both karma paths and once the update is out I'll finish my expert run. Amazing game. Definitely wish there were more to actually *do* in the city. I also hate how gimped and (relatively) less fun the good power sets are, especially the third ability.

It has a player... I'd prefer mp3s to listen to it without PS4 but it's a nice gift from SP. I dig game soundtracks.
