Platinum Trophy: Learned to Shit While Upright Again.
Best $5 spent
Enjoyed the 4+ hours getting 100% (in one sitting), loved the flying power the most

Anyways, I've beaten and gotten everything on hard except the 20 UGC missions, which I doubt I'll ever do. I thought it was really, really good. Game should be seen as DLC and not be taken too seriously.
I mean, how many standalone games are there that are open world and as complete at this?

This has no spoilers for the main Infamous 2 campaign, right?

Well I finished it, got all the trophies. I really liked it, although it did carry over some of my complaints about the main I2.
Played some fun UGC missions as well. Is there anyway to call up a list of the ones you've already played, as I can't remember the names of most of them. The last one I did was called 'Blood Run' I think. Nothing too difficult but a nicely scripted mission against the clock.

How many pyre night 'official' UGC missions are there? The main story makes to go through 2 of them, but it says taht they all unlock after beating the game. There's a bit more meat on this than reviewers credit it for, even if not by a ton.
A very enjoyable experience for a good price.

It's definitely closer to 1.5 hours than to 3. It took me 3 hours to find all the collectibles and stuff. It's really short. Like, DLC-short.AwShucks said:

I'm a trophy guy, so I had to get all of them
If you do only main story line and bypass everything trophy related, then yes, game can be done in 1.5 hour
That is no fun though
One thing I really enjoyed was flying around looking for jars (blast shards replacement)
More you break, more blood is used to fly around, by the end a full blood meter you can fly halfway across the city
The teachings were also a nice touch, following the arrow markers looking for the glyph, cool side story/background on

it's 4th of July in my asshole
Is good, I've never been able to connect to the UGC servers though on Infamous 2 or this.

The Shadow Swarm (flight) power is awesome, but one other little addition that might have made it even better would be if you could control your flight using the tilt control on the Sixaxis/Dual Shock 3 controllers.
If there's ever a patch to this game, I hope Sucker Punch considers adding this!

Thanks a lot!
The easiest and fastest way to get all jars is once you get the upgraded vampire sense power, it always shows you the closest jar Bloody Mary's recording. Every time you break a jar, your blood meter fulls up fully.
So you just fly to the closest jar, break it, and fly towards the next one until you got them all.

The game is great with the move! I expected it to be so-so at best, but man on man the folks at Sucker Punch did an excellent job. Just make sure you calibrate the controller properly and you're good to go. It makes you really wish Naughty Dog would add support for the move in uncharted 3; maybe via DLC/update like Sucker Punch did/ are going to do for Inf2. *Dreams of Uncharted 3 with well done move support*

Yeah, as a creator of UGC content, I know there's a LOT of crap out there. It just comes down to people not thinking about the player and instead making something that they think is super cool and amazing like throwing hundreds of enemies at you.
If you want to play some good UGC, check out the mission design forum I linked under UGC CONTENT in the OT. There's a thread on the forum where people post their UGC missions, and most of them are good. There's not a thread for Festival of Blood yet, only Infamous 2, but I'm sure there will be one in the future.
TTP said:Get the Move man
Albeit it doesn't really control like Flower. It's not direct 1:1. You point the cursor in the direction you want to turn.
TTP, I have a feeling that while shooting the move trigger button is a bit laggy/delayed sometimes. It doesn't react as precise as the R1 trigger on the DS3. Feels off. Can you second that?

Didn't really like this. Beat in about 3 hours, deleted. The only thing I liked was the flight power.GraveRobberX said:
Bloody Mary was just :/
Downloaded this 2 nights ago and have only been able to play it in short bursts, but so far I'm absolutely loving it.
It's got some great humour from Zeke and Cole (solidifying their top spot in the "Bromance Award 2011"), fun powers, and good action. I'd recommend this to pretty much everyone I know who has a PS3.
I've been a fan of this series since the early days, and I have to say that Sucker Punch never disappoint with inFamous. Keep up the good work, guys!

Started playing today and once I had mopped up Bloody Mary, went back and got all the trophies too.
It's a great distraction, I liked it a lot. The audio diaries of Mary have an almost Anne Rice quality to them. I got a good 4 hours out of it without rushing and playing on hard.

So I bought this due to the PS+ discount.
Believe or not I still haven't even bought/played inFamous2, but due to this being standalone and so cheap, I said what the hell. It seems it's pretty simple to follow anyhow without having touched inFamous2. Plenty familiar with the characters having beaten part 1.
It's super fun, though I wish there was a way to tweak the audio as the bass in WAY TO FUCKING LOUD when you throw a grenade (I live in an apartment complex). It sounds so damn off from the rest of the sound mix. Come to think of it actually, inFamous1 had a really hollow/strange sound mix as well.
Anyway, is the PSN version of inFamous2 solid? Like no performance problems or anything?

Just beat this, absolutely loved it, especially the theme, went great with my horror movie themed weekend. Only missing the UGC and all powers trophies.
Ok I went back to DSIII controls. While I liked Move controls in the initial reaction I think DSIII is way superior in terms of moving around.
Also, move trigger is lagging like hell. I can shoot way faster and more frequently with R1.
The graphics are amazing sometimes (catacombs!!!) but man they really are struggling with the framerate. It's borderline playable in some situations.

It's the opposite actually. I find the Move controls much better, especially for moving around/camera control. You are always in control of the camera since it's controlled by the wrist. With the DS3, you have to frequently abandon the right stick to access the face buttons, and inFamous uses the face buttons much more than your average shooter. Try rolling in circle while aiming for example. You can't do that with the DS3.
Have you set the Move option to Expert?
Thrakier said:
Perhaps it's a simple analog / digital input difference? Of course it takes less time to push a button than to pull a trigger, albeit you don't have to pull it all the way back in inFamous.
I did some tests and when hammering either the trigger or R1, bolts are fired at the very same rate, which is 3 shots followed by a short pause.
Something odd happens when shooting bombs or blasts tho as cursor stays idle for 3 to 5 frames (the duration of the throwing animation basically). Not sure why is that.
