Woke up early ti play this game.
Hehehe
Hehehe
Wait so after you beat the game, you're stuck in a specific time of day and weather? That kinda sucks.
I can't remember the name but there was a game released in the past year or two that didn't allow you to change TOD until very late in the game, any idea which game I am talking about here?
It's not about realism, it adds to the experience of seeing time pass as you play.

Sssssssss , I wasn't going to buy this game but reading this thread and watching a stream on the PS4 is making me change my mind.
In what way is it well implemented?

Something that really bothers me is how weightless Delsin feels, climbing buildings, falling, it just doesn't feel right... He lands like a bailarina on the tip of her toes

Just started playing...took me a while to get into ( was playing MGS GZ ) but after a short time really enjoying it.
But... where do I get my DLC ( jacket and Cole's Legacy ). Redeemed the codes on PSN but can't find how to activate them ingame.
Also...companion app for the Gold Headset works really nice

The game series is never had a heavy feeling, it wouldn't make sense.
Switching to DTS seems to have fixed it. Weird

And I really dislike Infamous 1 and 2 for that.
finished it. awesome game. my favorite infamous. gonna start my evil playthrough now
didn't like the fact that you get concrete so late in the game.
delsin is a powehouse when compared to cole
if there's another infamous i would like to see other powerful conduits having an influence in the world

Red Dead Redemption is about the only game where I liked night so I can do without the 24 hour cycle.

Saints Row 4 maybe? Was always night until you finished the story I think.
Not noticed any issues but need to try DTS again. Switched to DD because outlast and AC4 were only stereo in DTS.
I started with DTS but the dialog had this "compressed like a low bitrate mp3" sound quality that seemed to get better with the DD setting
That doesn't makes sense to me tbh.
You say you don't like night time, but then most of Infamous Second Son is set during night time or dusk.
Yep it was SR4

About 60% in according to my save and have played about 11 hours. Lovin it so far. Quite a sight for the eyes and the powers (especially the third one) are so damn fun to play with.
Damn haven't even seen that yet. Got to find that
Anyone notice the rocker is actually playing the guitar? Finger positions, chords, strumming, etc. is all done just right. Been chilling listening to the guitar riffs for atleast 5 minutes lol.

Good to know other people also notice that!

It has always bothered me. Even though this inFamous suffers from the same thing, when I buy a PS4 I'll certainly buy this one.

How do you guys see how long you played? I also beat it last night and jumped right back in the city to have fun. I'm done with the story but I'm still not done. I love the traversal aspect. I wish you could change the TOD after you beat it, I mean it looks beautiful but I would rather it change when you die or w/e.

You don't. Everyone in this thread is just approximating.

The game is pretty cool besides my complaint about Delsin paper weight..!! It's fun to use the touch pad to drain smoke and other powers.
So, after sleeping on it (still not finished the game, but still), I'm still really enjoying it but do have a few issues.
As said by everyone, the side missions still have the same exact problem as I1 and I2. Now, they're perfectly fine but they get boring after a while because every district is exactly the same. They really need to sort this, because i think it's really holding them back. You'd think they'd have sorted it 3 games in but apparently not.
Also, i dunno if i'm the only one but i actually love their usage of the touchpad and shit. I thought it was gimmicky at first (which it is) but it actually works really well. Especially love the spraypainting sidequests.
Thirdly, the camera is a piece of shit and it keeps clipping through the environment and blinding me
The traversal without powers is fucking terrible. Cole was great at climbing, Delsin is fucking useless. It's hard to work out which bits you can climb up and which bits you can't, and exactly how high you can jump to the next ledge. Thankfully there aren't many points where you need to climb, but fuck me it's irritating.
Lastly, I think i'm in love with Fetch.

Well it's easy. I started playing at 11 AM and finished the game at 2 AM without pausing. So I played for 15 hours.
I like how Delsin controls. Don't think I would be a fan of weighty movement, would make traversal a pain in the ass. He moves like platformer game which it sort of is, best not to think of it as a realistic grounded game even though it has human characters and amazing performances.

This game is really fun, but man I can't believe how much of a rehash it is
Movement feels near identical to previous games, the mission structure, regaining areas of the city. It's just the same thing. That's not to say the game isn't enjoyable, but it's disappointing the game really seems to lack ambition
The whole concept of a superhero game is so flexible, why do they need to focus on such a simple formula?
At least the story and characters are quite enjoyable this time

Yeah I agree it isn't that big of a step forward, if it were on PS3 I don't think I would support it. This game really relies on being a showcase for the PS4 and for that I am pleased to have bought the system to play it.
Still an immensely fun game and I hope SP breaks all the rules and goes all out for the next in the franchise.

I'm still very early in the game and so far the only real negative for me is how the game controls especially when climbing.

I agree 100% with you. Great post

Trying to climb the buildings without using the vents or one of the special powers is a pain in the ass
You're not meant to climb the buildings, you're meant to just zoom up to the roof.

Just beat it. Wow that was a really good game! I would grade it 9/10.

haha this. Also getting shot from 30 different directions
I think the fact that it's a launch window PS4 game and having the crutch of being a graphical powerhouse is partly to blame for the game's complete lack of ambition.

Played about 4 hours last night and I am a new comer to the Infamous series.
+ It's a gorgeous looking game. The motion cap is extremely impressive
+ The powers I've gained so far are great fun
+ The controls are designed really well, it's easy to string together great moves/movements
+ Delsin's progression feels constant and rewarding
+ The detail put into the city design is impressive
- Very one note. All the enemy encounters feel the same.
- Side activities are typical, mundane open world fare
- Pretty cheesy dialogue
- Delsin's personality. He's kind of self absorbed douche
It's a B- so far for me, it feels like the developers either ran out of time or wanted to play it safe.

oh is that so? Well I'm climbing from time to time and still having fun! HA!
Definitely. But what it lacks in ambition it makes up for being a "best of infamous" title.

I think second game was kinda better still...
I sure do miss giant insect monsters at least.

I like this game. Never played InFamous before. Looks great, plays pretty smoothly.
Only got two things that bother me (though not much), the jumping animation and speed looks odd as if he's floating slightly and his head's too big. Yep, I definately feel his head is just a wee bit too big. Or he's just really skinny. Could be the latter I guess.
Apart from that it's pretty good.
