Is there a way to check? It appears in my Library in the OS but is there a way to check in the game?

Hey, come on now. Duvall is a good replacement (though I thought Maynard from Tool was better). He's no Layne, but no one is.

IIRC didn't you have a Layne Staley avatar?
People here were saying they were beating the game around the 10 hour mark.

Frame rate drops from 60 to 30, yeah those happen, but I never saw it go below 30. First two infamous games had a variable frame rate. So nothing new here and it has never interfered with the core experience.
My issue with "good or evil" playstyle games is that there never seems to be any grey area recognized. I prefer to play naturally, meaning, I'll respond to the situation how I feel about it in the given moment. Sometimes that'll be good, sometimes it'll be evil. This is never recognized by game systems.
I think that in the library it says downloaded or something next to the dlc
You cannot, the top is blocked off by an invisible wall.
...well not all the way.
Not in Europe where you have to buy one of the special editions for it.
not a fan of this.

Played a good solid four hours of this today. I loved the first three Infamous games and I am loving this one. The controls are a little revamped for the hover power and I don't like that there is no cover system but otherwise this game is pretty much all I wanted from Sucker Punch. Have not even made much progress yet, just having fun doing the side stuff.

Are the Secret Agent, Hidden Camera, Audio Log and Stencil Art collectables revealed on the minimap or is it pretty much up to you?
I keep finding a quote from the games director about it "being a locked rock solid 30FPS"

They are all revealed in the map!

Yeah, just do the next main mission and "bloop" ... I had the same question.

Only played about an hour and judging from my completion status it will be a short game, but everything about that hour was absolutely incredible.
Love everything about it at the moment, knew I'd love the gameplay but how much I am enjoying the story / cut scenes has taken me by surprise.
A++ In my books so far.

Have being played for 3 or 4 hours and the game is outstanding. Graphics, the weather, the reflections and lightning are amazing.
I just feel that the city should have more noise in the background.
Neon power is so much greate than the smoke one. Can't wait to get the third one and see if I get suprised.

Easily a solid 90 for me. Just a joy to control. Reminds me of Crackdown in that respect. It's just amazing to traverse the city. And the voice acting is superb. I like Delsin, and how much he loves his abilities.

So, I started the game and got about 10 minutes in before I switched it to Expert (it never asked me). Is this going to affect me getting the trophy for finishing it on hard?

My PS4 is crapping out on me. I can't get through more than 10 minutes of the game before my console crashes and shutsdown. I downloaded it twice. 40GB of bandwidth wasted. I guess I'll be productive this weekend.
It's not a particularly long game. It's much shorter than I was expecting.
Jesus man you have a really good memory. Yeah, back in the day. And I agree Duvall is great. I saw them half a year ago in Miami. Amazing show.
Pretty blown away you played Rain When I Die. Thats one of their best and one of my favs. Very fitting for Seattle and this game as well.

I know this seems like an excuse ... but InFamous games lend themselves really well to a second playthrough.

Like hell it doesn't interfere with the core experience. I've never played either of the first two Infamous games, but the variable frame rate in Second Son is fucking atrocious. Totally takes me out of it when I'm running around at a nice steady 30fps, then blip up to 60 while climbing up a building, then blip back to 30 once I get to the top.
What. The. Fuck. I wish I could slap the shit out of the dumbass at Sucker Punch who made that call.
The shitty thing is that I think the actual gameplay is really fun, and I think that I would love the game if the frame rate didn't aggravate me so much. I honestly have no idea why devs do this shit. I thought it was unbearable in Shadow Fall, but this game takes judder to a whole new level.
Ugh.

During the day is my favourite time visually, the use of colours along with the lovely lighting effects really impress me. We are only a few months into this gen, good stuff.
Oh and the soundtrack is awesome

It was unbearable in Shadowfall because it's a first person shooter. I get what you're trying to say about Infamous Second Son, I have no problems, the game is incredibly fun. May be I got used to the variable frame rate since original infamous days back in 2009.

Maybe it's just been a while since I played the first one, but I don't remember it being a crazy long game.

6 hours in and it hasn't effected my core experience.
Hyperbole-a-mania runs wild in this thread. It's not THAT bad and do you know why most people and reviewers don't bring it up? Because it's not a big deal. They aren't going to patch it because it isn't a big deal.
This is one of the few complaints I have with the game right now. I moved to a different seat not so close to my TV and I couldn't read the text (I have glasses and relatively poor eyes) so I had to move back to the other seat. The other problem I have is that I feel sometimes they're are just way too many enemies around or interrupting my fight that I'm having on a side mission (the pin-point accuracy was annoying for a bit but I'm learning to keep moving in battle).
Also, is it me or is this slightly more challenging than the previous infamous games? I'm on normal right now and it feels tougher than the previous games...or maybe I'm just very rusty.

Whats the deal with the DLC I cant tell if its actually been downloaded or where I go to play it.

Wow, I have not had a single issue with the frame rate....

I'm totally fine with that. Hell, I think that it should be mandated by Sony that games with unlocked frame rates have the option to cap at 30.
I'm super envious of those who aren't affected by it. Unfortunately I'm not one of them, and these severe judder fluctuations completely ruin the experience for me.

Just picked up my pre-order copy from Best Buy. Really weird though they had like zero cases on the floor in the video games section nor any ads. Versus them having a little cardboard pop-up for titanfall with copies of the game in it and (of all things) a cardboard ad for Murdered: soul suspect 
you never know. they patched it in killzone

Wait, what? I haven't touched the game since November. You can cap at 30fps now?
It is pretty hard you have to be careful.
I can't decide which side to go... For some reason inFamous has always been the only game where I actually go to the "bad" side...every other games where I have the choice I go the good side. The powers just look more fun on the evil side lol.
The thing is... I picked good side in the first choice so I wonder if I should restart? I right after the bridge at the beginning so it would'nt be that long.
