You can't miss anything if you do straight good and evil runs. The last two trophies I had were Cough Drop and the one where you have to kill an enemy with 3 powers, and the game still supplies you with enemies after the main story.
Just finished it.
Hate to say it but it was a letdown, even go so far as to say it's the worst game out of the 3.
Spoilers ahead:
Seattle is just plain boring, there's nothing unique about it, your cookie cutter american city.
New Orleans in inFamous 2 was WAY better, unique city, unique charm, unique setting.
Your electricity powers combined with the flooded city parts was a nice gameplay additon. In Seattle there's none of that.
It lacks variety, you basically have 2 city parts, they don't differ too much. The only exception is that the city part that gets unlocked during the game has higher buildings.
With inFamous 2 you got much better pacing and variety(city, swamps, oldtown).
Not to mention enemy types, you basically fight the same people all the time.
Again inFamous 2 did a much better job, you fight those huge enemies(alongside regulars) and it was just much more epic.
Also the sidekicks were kind of useless, they only really come in handy during the last mission.
inFamous 2 let you do missions with Kuo and Nix way more frequently and the moral system was better implemented because of that.
The game also felt kind of short, I thought really, this is it? Yes it is. inFamous 2 had way, way more content. Even without the mission editor!
Of course, graphics are great but coming from inFamous 2 it's a clear step down. Being a launch title I don't think they could have delivered that anyway, so I'll give them that.

It was probably the most stunning looking boss fight in the game too.

Almost done on my second play through on normal, but in order to get the hard trophy would I have to play the entire game again on hard, or is there some other way to obtain the trophy on my current play through?

What a waste of £36. One of my biggest regrets this gen probably after KZ:SF. Can't believe I fell for the bait. Combat is just no fun and while Delsin might be a half decent character some of the questionable things that he does on the way makes me go "yep. videogames". Really should've waited until it was £10 in the market. Traversal is okay though.
I don't think ive ever played a game where I beat it, and the still find myself thinking about playing it all day long at work on my second run through. Fucking amazing.
I just find the traversal so good, I think maybe smoke... I mean Yeh its maybe the weakest in tersm of traversal, but maybe the most satisfying? Just hoppibg from roof top to roof top, boosting accross vents...its like catching updrafts like a glider does.
So enjoyable... Thats the meat of the game as far as im concerned. They sprinkle around the city enough bad dudes to engage, and structures tobtake down. And Yeh hella fun.
What odds we get multiplayer mode in a Dlc eventually... They have to be working on it surely.... Even 4 v 4 per island would be good enough for me.

Today the day! I will finally open my day 1 purchase tonight when I finally get my PS4 after the ungodly 3 month wait. This is gonna be amazing!!
Man, i don't want it to finish. The story has turned interesting and i love the puzzles/solving stuff. I hope Sucker Punch keep doing more of this after Paper Trailer, it really helps to expand the game and the lore of the game.

Oh shit I have a lot of catching up to do. I'm still on that one puzzle where I have to put a shredded card back together ;_;
So there is no power to unlock at the end? :/
Hope their DLC goes bonkers with some creative ones!

I've always found good on expert to be a lot easier than evil on expert in all inFamous games, due to the fact that you get so many defensive/life-giving powers. I honestly think I died more times on normal as opposed to expert purely because every time I smoked into a vent it restored life for example.
Each to their own, though.
As long as they keep everything ingame next time.
And is really fun to go and get the Platinum IMO.
So i beat the game twice. Both good and bad karma paths.
Game is beautiful. I was really surprised by how well the game looks. Light effects, textures, characters, everything. Amazing.
BUT, for me it's the weakest of the 3 infamous games.
There's a serious lack of content.
The two parts of seattle are very samey. Powers are nice and all but end up being quite similar. And why the hell can we only absorb concrete from enemies? There's concrete everywhere!
Enemies are boring and repetitive. Infamous 2 had humans, monsters, big ice enemies and huge monsters.
There wasn't a single memorable mission. But, well, previous games weren't exaclty good on that either.
When the credits started rolling i thought "that's it?"

I have to agree. The game is still very good, but the content isn't up to par with the first two games. I also got the samey feel of their Seattle -- there was nothing like the sewer sections of inFamous 1, or Flood Town from inFamous 2 that really mixed things up. The rural area from the beginning should've been bigger and had its own chunk of missions.
Launch window syndrome I guess. Next one should be a real beast.
The soundtrack is a thing of beauty.
I cant enough of Brain's "Double Crossed"
Does it play anywhere specifically in the game or is it just some random burst that occurs during a fight with DUPs?
Also, havent heard "Speed of Light" yet and I've just picked up (close to end spoiler)

No Paper Power!
We get a mask and some more jackets....
SP, give us more content to do inside the game! Reset DUP Command Post, Survival/Horde Modes... Something new.
Photo-mode and the other changes were nice, but this game is severely short and lacking in content. I still run around just for the hell of it, but I'd really love for there to be something else to do in the game after you 100% it.

Finally beat it. 100% the good karma side. I'm already planning my second playthrough on evil karma.
I was actually pleasantly surprised at the last power.
Really good game. I'm glad this was the first PS4 game I bought. I never played the original infamous games, so I wasn't sure how much I'd like this one.

I didn't expect concrete to be playable at all. Video looked like the last playable power, so I just assumed I'd get concrete last minute for story purposes only.

Are you trolling?
Does anyone here agrees with me how the first-person mode for I:SS in the wains of Mirror's Edge would be a decent gameplay addition to a game?
It crossed my mind while playing with the photomode and I think about it ever since. After I finished both stories (good and bad) and learned both fighting, navigating the city and all major strategies for the combat, I think how FPS perspective would provide a complete new experience of the game.
What do you think?

This is my first Infamous, and I can't say I like it.
The good I guess is the IQ and lighting, but the overall visual presentation just isn't very impressive. Animation is weird, the world is incredibly mundane looking.
The combat against the DUP is so boring and frustrating, exploring the world is pointless, the "side-quest" activities are also boring.
Anyways, this is a huge disappointment for me, I was expecting something excellent.

Am I the only one who thinks the scale in Infamous is really strange?
I don't mean that the map is to small, I just think that streets and buildings look stangely small.
It gives me a small-town flair. Does Seattle really look like that?
Compared to GTA V or Watchdogs this looks really strange.
Its something I constantly notice when playing Second Son. Everything in the city is sized weird.
I think they maybe tweaked it a bit to make it more fitting for traversal with the powers.

I love this game. I got the first part of the city all down to 0% for every area before even moving along with the quest-line to the next part. Actually turned back after the story mission pushed me 'forward'.
City could be bigger, but I still have a blast in it. The visuals are fantastic. I really can't get over how good this game looks.
I really have no complaints outside of wishing I had more powers. The story is interesting, the main character I actually like, and the enemies are really cool. It may be because I loved the 4400 so the setting just sits with me well (really reminds me of 4400, the series and the books after).
I think controls are fine, I do find myself overshooting stuff but that's on me, I just generally suck at games these days. I am REALLY surprised by how much I like this game. First game in a long time where I'm jonesing to get home to play it.
I loved inFAMOUS 1 and didn't really get more than a couple hours in 2 because it felt too "same-y". And while this does also, I think it's been long enough and the character/setting is enough to make it feel fresh.
Did I mention how gorgeous it is? This is my "wow" game for the generation. It was KZ and only a lowercase "wow" ... this game actually makes me go "WOW".

Started my Evil Expert run last night and yeah of course Im used to the mechanics, enemy aggression and maneuvers etc from my initial playthrough, but man it just seems so damn easy
DUPs surrender much more quickly for whatever reason. Maybe it's because they recognize me as a growing badass?
Also ordered a hard copy of the soundtrack cause that shit deserves to be blasted out of my rap car.
Also, Sucker Punch: Any chance you can patch in a cutscene viewer?

That just seems like an opinion to me, man. Gotta be careful throwing that word around. To be honest I was stoked as well and found the game underwhelming.
Weird, I was just about to post this almost exactly. I'm having an entirely easier time on expert than I did on normal. Not sure if it's my own personal skill has gotten that much better or if Evil is just easier than Good.
Cool, so Im not going crazy. I took out about a half dozen DUPs last night and then another APC pulled up. Three DUPs hopped out and surrendered immediately. That sorta thing never happened when I was playing as a good guy. Thought to myself "Man, they must know Im gonna fuck their shit up if they mess with me"
Pretty damn cool I must say.

I actually had this happen a few times on a good playthrough. Like you said, it happened right after a brawl each time. I guess they saw it

I agree with you! This will be the first Play station platform game I get a Platinum trophy on, and the first one I plan to 100% (next up after SS will be going back to GTA V!)
Jump off the tallest part of the channel 6 building. You'll probably have video, so use circle to get some distance from the building. Have the upgrade where you're hovering lifts you up a little bit (probably not necessary) and then comet drop. Make sure you don't accidentally hit another building or something.

You'll need the double dash video power for best results.
Go to the last building in the game where you fought Augustine. Climb your way back up to the building. Get the video power on the last floor and then go to the roof. Dash at the satellite which sends you high into the air, double dash forward and then comet drop all of the way to the ground.

hmm, I thought I tried climbing up that building one time after I beat the game but the zappers were turned on. Guessing you have to use smoke and go up the long way like you did during the mission?

New Second Son update?
Any one has any idea? Sux you can't see the changelog beforehand when downloading.

This is what the update log says:
v1.04
Add "Paper Trail" assets.
Other bug fixes.
and I don't think Paper Trail missions needed any updates...
just got the prompt in UK. curiously mine says 258MB.
Is the mission 6 available already? or not yet?
