Can't tell you why but I feel much more agile and competent with the DSIII. Even the actual aiming is better with the controller imo. While you are right that you have to abandon the face buttons with DSIII I acutually think moving the camera with the stick works better, it's more precise. Especially looking down from buildings is a pain in the ass with move. It's on Expert, yes.
I don't it's just the difference between analog and digital. Maybe it is but it feels like the trigger sometimes ignores my input, which doesn't happen on the DSIII.

This game is FANTASTIC.
For some weird reason, open-world games give me the heebie-jeebies and I get kind of anxious about the world being *too big*. It's weird.
But this is perfect. Open-world, but not like, super gigantic area. So much fun staking vampires.

Theres locks on the cage you can shoot to open them. I dunno if you have to though.
Flight power is the best power. If SP doesn't include something like it in their next open world game, I'm gonna stake a bitch.
Zooming around collecting the jars of blood is so much fun because of how good the flying feels.
Loved everything except the last boss fight, that was just monotonous killing waves of zombie creatures.

Yeah, the way camera pitch works makes it so that it's slightly slower to get the camera to point all the way down, especially if you accidentally point it too much away from the screen as that halts camera movement altogether. But then again with Move you can look down from buildings while doing anything you can think of. With the DS3 you are forced to keep the stick tilted down otherwise the camera will recenter automatically as you walk around, forcing you to look down again. Unless you are in aim mode of course, albeit in this case the camera re-centers as you release L1, which is not the case with the Move.
But more than anything is the accessibility of all your "weapons" while controlling the camera that really makes a difference in my opinion. I do feel much more agile and effective in combat, both when attacking as well as when rolling, in every circumstance (vertical or horizontal confrontations). It does help that the camera also turns faster with the Move in aim mode, provided you tilt it accordingly.
Also, I find it more intuitive to activate the thrusters by "double jumping" (X > Hold X) instead of the traditional X > Hold R1.
About the trigger thing, I dunno what to say. Never fails me.
Oh, element, got my PM?
Loved this, just finished up some UGCs for the trophy and found a few good ones that were multipart and good races too. But really the Move controls are so good that I was just looking for an excuse to run around the city shooting stuff again with it.
To the guy talking about a delay on shooting, I think what you are feeling is just the fact that shoot on the Move is the trigger while on the DS3 is a bumper or really short trigger so it just feels more responsive. The Move trigger has a lot of 'give' to it also so if you don't hit it hard and fast it'll seem like it took longer to execute the shoot command. One thing that is a little annoying to me is the fact that the Move is so precise that even hitting the trigger makes it move a little bit which is picked up by the sensors and can throw my aim off slightly.
I agree with TTP that the Move controls allow you to be much more fluid in combat, once you get used to them. Not having to switch my thumb over to face buttons and lose control of aiming/cursor is awesome. I can't wait for them to patch it into the main game.
edit: I played with 'expert' camera controls, not really sure what this does because I thought it would change camera rotation speed but I did a few tests and couldn't tell a difference.

Hm, you remember that the Move controller was/is kinda laggy in the PSN chat? That's how the trigger feels to me in FoB.

Oh that would be awesome as well. Cole would just be super fast, give him some mad ass claws so he can just run up walls without having to hook onto ledges.......... springing from one building to another to climb would be awesome.

you know what, now I hope Sucker Punch is making new IP next. I love inFamous, but it seems Cole is kinda tapped out in terms of what other abilities they can add to Cole's electric ability (other than teleporting like Kessler which will probably controlled a bit like flying here but faster more instantaneous) and Cole's ability favor long range combat with most abilities played like guns/grenades.
I'd like to see Sucker Punch make new IP or new character within infamous universe with more balanced close range/long range abilities. fantasy setting like vampire here is awesome. stacking vampire make me fight closer to enemies than how I would play infamous 2 where sometimes I just shooting guys from afar. fights in this dlc feels more hectic, but fun.

Just finished it, going to do some UGC, but overall it was awesome, the right amount of humor, the right amount of action, I hope more people pick this up, totally worth it.

Downloading this now. I was able to trade my copy of Infamous 2 as soon as I heard this was stand-alone, very cool on their part.

So you're telling me that CLOS and iF2FOB are the same?
At least FOB is 4 hours worth of stuff to do and enjoy, not like LOS and 2 chapters that were rehashes and asked $9.99 each for < 2 hours worth of content
Yeah 4 hours for $9.99 > 4 hours for $19.99 (in which you still need the Disc to play the DLC)
Hope Sucker Punch keeps doing these, I wouldn't mind revisiting the game for $10 morsels for 4-6 hours of goodness

Yeah, this is pretty awesome! Haven't gotten that far with but it is such a nice place to be in, so atmospheric, great fire and fireworks, very smooth, it feels so effortless. And I didn't even buy or play Infamous 2 yet, just a few hours of Infamous 1 (as the PSN gift) and the Infamous 2 demo.
And omg I just love the Move controls! They're so smooth and precise, and it feels so natural to shoot with them! If I end up completing this DLC then good chance I'll go for Infamous 2 as well once that gets Move controls. They work so well you start wondering whether this kind of analog stick replacement should be made default and mandatory for all games.

I only found this to be ok. I haven't yet played inFamous 2 but this seemed to have a similar problem to the first: lack of enemy and mission variety and decent monster/boss fights. Everything seemed to be "go here, then fight". It seemed slim even by DLC standards in my opinion. Perhaps the UGC will make up for it, I've been having a play around with that. Still, it's made me hold off on purchasing iFamous 2 for a while, which is a shame because I was rather looking forward to playing it.

You don't see the teachings by using the flying power (as you most likely know), you have to use your vampire sense to find the glyphs and follow their trails to find the teachings. It's a pain in the ass, but it's doable

Excellent game. Outside of the UGC missions I think the only trophy I have left is to bite someone in a parade. I haven't seen any parades, do they follow a particular route?
I suppose the highest praise I can give is I was left wanting more. Honestly if I had more money and less stuff on my plate I would have bought Infamous 2 right after beating this. I hope they make another one of these bite sized infamouses. I'd take six $10 games with different themes and powers over one $60 game any day of the week

There aren't any parades per se, just look for those people wearing those big head masks (I think they tend to go around playing drums) and bite one of them (I got the trophy when I bit a random person)

This thread convinced me to get this, so I finished downloading it a while ago, and will play it tonight. I loved inFamous and inFamous 2, so this should be great. Plus, it's Halloween and I'm not doing anything else tonight.
Edit: Finished the game and got all the trophies. Loved it!

You shouldn't just edit your post, the world of GAF needs to know this game is ace AND is standalone, and the thread needs all the bumps it can get!
I'm still halfway, played some Uncharted 3 yesterday, but although I love it, I think that tonight I'm going to go on playing more Festival instead. More praising words can barely be spoken?

I think the length is perfect. I'd love there to be a couple other holiday-related DLC packs. The flying power also solves my major gripes with 1+2.

I'm not too far in but this game totally reminded me of why I preferred inFamous 1 to 2. inFamous 2 didn't really seem to have any "focused" levels like the way this starts out and some of the areas in inFamous 1. Pretty much everything in inFamous 2 took place in the main world and there weren't a whole lot of tightly designed areas to fight in.

I'm past the 4 hours story mark, and not quite sure how I should progress the story. Am I required to do the next UCG mission by SuckerPunch? Or should I (keep, cleaned up one already) hunting for vampire lunch boxes (i.e. people in cages)?
