Infamous: Second Son |OT| Smells Like Beanie Spirit

You got it in one day? Wth of course you don't see yourself playing it again. You're burnt out.Mmmm, now that I've got the platinum trophy I honestly don't see myself playing the game again
No but it is the genre. It's like complaining about health bars and stats in an RPG. Just because it is boring to you doesn't mean it is to me.
Agree with ALL of this.
Yeah, it makes sense but wasn't one of the bulletpoints was that it wouldn't make that much noise?
Except it being boring is subjective. I have not been bored at all since I started yesterday, don't see that changing either.

I typically take 20-30 days to Platinum a game that I intend to do so with. That way I don't get burned out and never play it again. I ended up Platinuming Far Cry 3 in the first week because by the time I finished the story I only had like 3 trophies to finish so I rushed it and I haven't played it since.
took me 2,5 days.
The thing is, I didn't think the story was amazing, so I wouldn't replay it again for that. Nor does the game have some kind of content to do after 100% the game.

Most games don't have content after you beat the game twice and do 100% of the things to do
So I'm really enjoying the game so far, but I have to say I find the basic premise to be a little silly:
So Augustine tortures just about everyone in the tribe and leaves them all for dead, but doesn't even bother to cover any of it up? What does she expect to happen when word gets out about a bunch of dead Native Americans with concrete sticking out their legs? I get that DUP is supposed to be extremely powerful and can get away with a lot, but how do they expect to get away with murdering a bunch of historically oppressed minorities?
It's called inFAMOUS; which is a play on words relating to how the game can be played two ways.
Something something george zimmerman something?
Honestly, that part makes perfect sense to me.
Opening spoilers and it may be explained later, don't explain it to me if it is but:
why fuck everyone up and then not do more lasting damage to Delsin? It just seemed odd that, personally, I admitted I was a conduit and then she just tortured everyone and left me there to recover

How do you play Coles legacy?

Well for inFAMOUS the good and evil endings have the same outcome. So there isn't really one canon.
For inFAMOUS 2, Nate Fox said they wanted to choose the Evil ending. But since 70% of players choosed the Good ending, they decided to acknowledge it.
They just retcon the death of every conduits.

Those unlock after you complete the 1 mission after you get to seattle.
After you learn the karmic super attack and complete the mission you learn it in, you'll notice there is a marker on the map that is a black exclamation point in a yellow box. That would be the quest start.

All you have to do is take one tiny look at the site to know that its most likely completely fake.

I have my own take on some of their possible inspirations. (Not really, but this ridiculous idea was pretty fun to put together.)

I guess, but even Zimmerman faced huge public outrage. Hell, that was the only reason a trial even happened in the first place.
The only theory I have for her actions at this point is
she somehow knew that Delsin was essentially Rogue, and this is all some sort of plot to turn him into some sort of super conduit. I hope that isn't the case as that would be a retread of inFamous 1.

Just beat it. There's a shockingly low amount of main missions, however most of them are decent length. I've never played 1 or 2 though so maybe that's just the norm.
Also endgame/power spoilers

It's a damn shame the concrete traversal is through hover and not the rock launch thing the DUP agents use.
The audio issues in this game have nothing to do with Sucker Punch going for dynamic range. If that what their intention they completely screwed it up in any case. The Last Of Us did it right and even had a sitting for dynamic range. If the dynamic range was done correctly then the super powers, explosions and gunshots would be mixed in much louder than everything else but they're not. They sound weak and lack oomph unless you turn the sound up to ridiculous volumes. In real life ambient sounds aren't that loud but they aren't virtually inaudible like in this game. By default the voices are mixed in far too high which is why I've manually changed them to 50% volume in the menus. People claiming that changing the speaker settings to bookshelf or home theatre completely alleviates the mixing issues are wrong.
Infamous games have a track record when it comes to poor audio (Infamous 2 had half of it's sound effects missing) but I don't remember that many people commenting on it compared to Second Son. Hopefully Sucker Punch take notice and respond with a patch or comment at least.

Yeah. I was hoping it
was going to be similar to the ice vaulting from inFamous 2.

Mine doesn't seem to make anymore fan noise than normal playing this, it doesn't make much noise at all.

He probably bought that jacket at Nex Jen.
Some are in under passes, check to see if you can get sub-ground level.
Six hours in, and loving it.
But there are problems, like every inFAMOUS game. Exploring Seattle is incredible but it's the game design that feels a bit cumbersome. The mission structure leads something to be desired, but it's the traversal that feels so inherently unique that it makes up for it. I also feel like enemy variety is a bit limited, but the chaos of crowd control is a ton of fun.
I'm busy clearing out districts just so that I have the freedom to casually explore without being under fire. I love the Smoke powers- and diving through vents feels utterly exhilarating. I'm playing evil as fuck, mainly because I don't like Delsin's characterization.
I'm having a blast, but I can understand the criticisms.
