I went to check the other Infamous scores on metrcitic, how is this the lowest scoring of the series? HOW?

Higher standards probably.
Yeah, I feel like I'm spending too much time running away to recover health in this, compared to past games. Evil powers better be super OP, otherwise an Expert difficulty run is gonna be a bitch and half!
Didn't the Day 1 patch notes say they INCREASED the difficulty? Maybe they over-corrected a bit...

Finished the game last night . Well,
Other than that, hats of to Sucker Punch. The game is leagues ahead of the previous infamous games. I honestly enjoyed almost every mission and the cut scenes ! Unlike the first two, they where actually watchable.
that last boss fight was insanely frustrating, my moves did barely any damage even with that R1move and I kept getting trapped in her moves. Maybe I was doing it wrong? I did play it at 2 in the morning

Still, this is a far better game in just about every area.

So, Paper Trail question,
is paper a power that we'll get?

Boss spoiler
Is it possible to beat the rock tornado guy without using neon? Game seems to egg you on if you do.
They will show up once you've completed a specific story mission.

No.
Yes you can. But if you don't use neon the game don't aknowledge it.

Just to confirm with the first paper trail mission,
Also in regards to the karma you earn on the site,
The reason I ask the above is the first paper trail mission is listed for me as an option on the website itself, but for the life of me it does not seem active in my game itself. Nor does the karma I have already earned.
it is a marker that is in the game correct? What district of the map is it in if so?
Also in regards to the karma you earn on the site,
do you get an in game message indicating it has carried over from the website to the game?

I'll bet on DLC.
I am talking about the one on roofs where you have to stand on top of them and launch
Surprised anyone would have trouble tbh. I'm on expert, and i'm finding it too easy. Especially with neon's slow/ankle shots or smoke KO headshots. Even at the beginning it was easy compared to how underpowered you where in the first 2 games. 75% complete too so can't imagine much will change either. Loving it though. All the powers kick ass. Looking forward to the evil run through.
I agree but I think judging the game on its own, the scores were fair. I think there is a lot of room for improvement.
I love the game and if they continue with the IP then I hope they revamp the sidequests/activities. They're Assassin's Creed level of shit.
I don't think you can do that. You have to dash into them.
LOL...Guns.
Is this his first superhero game?
Seriously? Guns? Now if he says bow and arrows or bike gloves, I might give him a pass because guns are literally the most inferior object in a superhero genre.

I don't buy it
I think that Second Son is scoring appropriately, I just like to rag on Assassin's Creed because it's super polished shit and everybody can't help but marvel at its sheen and shine, and the utter fucking stink of gaming's least precise most incredibly wonky control scheme, and mission design that makes infamous side missions look positively inspired by comparison, it all just wafts away unnoticed. It's the reason I'm salty that only now do I hear about people being wary that maybe Watch Dogs might be Ubisoft-style collectable padded repetitive jank. A sentiment that jumped like 50 fold in how often I see it after people found out that the game lacks where it really matters... you know, ultimate gawk caliber. Fuck the premise! Meanwhile Unity gets hype on visuals when it's practically guaranteed jank without some back-to-drawing-board type shit going on in regards to its game design... and I'm just like fuck

I liked the first 2 infamous games a lot, but so far I LOVE this game. Taking each district down to 0% capture doesn't seem like a burden, it's actually quite fun. I love the new powers! Just the basic movement in this game is so much more fun than the first two. Going through vents and jumping roof too to roof too is great. And this game looks amazing, I'm in awe at these graphics.

ahhh...thanks fellow GAFfer.
That is baffling tbh.
I played AC4 for 2 hours and found it to be utterly repulsive and devoid of any joy.
This game takes a giant shit on AC4, even if it contains shitty filler activities too. The core game is far superior to AC.
Really enjoying this so far. Have cleared the DUP from the top half of the map, and it looks like the story is about to progress downtown.
Only things I dislike so far are the climbing up buildings, which often doesn't work as you'd expect. But at least
. And some of the combat sections seem way too hard at times, a lot of hiding to regenerate. This seemed to happen more early on though, so maybe I've just got better or Delsen is more powerful

neon lets you run up walls
Sometimes I have to laugh though. "Hmm, the DUP still control 2% of this neughborhood, how can I kick them out for good?" *spray paints a kid holding a balloon* "Perfect"

I like that normal difficulty is actually quite challenging. You can't just run into a mob and wipe them all out with a few button presses.

I beat it without, and it carried on like I used it anyway.

So definitely enjoying this a ton; neon's a blast and smoke's not too far behind. I am curious as to how far I am in the game, though. I just
beat up Augustine's concrete monster on the bridge, and just got to the second island.
I beg to differ.
Dash -> Karma Bomb
RIP in peace, DUP scum.
50% ish. It says on your save file.

I am sure you know this but just in case you do not, it represents not the act of the spray painting but the symbolism of the art to inspire people to stand up to the man. Whether that happens in reality is a philosophical debate and not a video game one, however Delsin expresses literally in the first couple of minutes of the game he feels art is more than just something to look at.
No idea honestly. It blows away Infamous 1 and definitely expands on Infamous 2
Ah well, not like reviews really mean anything in this day and age.

I don't see why not? It would be crazy but there are things that suggest we might get it as a power.
For example, when you shoot newspaper dispensers, garbage cans, trash cans etc. they shoot out an enormous amount of paper. I definitely think it is a possibly that we will get paper powers and you would drain the paper from these sources.
They better give us paper powers after going through all this shit with the website lol.

Apparently it's "not next-gen enough." Which is strange, because I haven't seen that complaint used against any other game released on either the PS4 or Xbone so far.
Really though, it's just a cute video game mechanic that can look silly if done in a certain order causing it to be the defining moment that clears the DUP from a district.

yes, certainly a disappointment. It's like they're begging you to pull it off.

Wouldn't hurt to have another power, plus shooting people to death with deadly paper airplanes would be amazing.

Solid frame-rate, almost no loading screens at all and the ones that are there are less than 5 seconds, amazing graphics especially for an open world game. That's as next gen as you're going to get at this point. Oh well.
Edit: Ach, sorry for the double post.

Yes it would. Plus
One of the "good" graffiti sketches that you do is a picture of a paper airplane.
Ah! I thought he meant a power he would get throughout the main story.
I agree, it's probably going to ba a DLC power

I imagine we'll get a re-skinned neon dash
like you see in the first Paper Trail mission
dash at them and they'll launch you. It confused me too because I thought it would just take me down to street level.

I just beat the game with good karma. Not sure why some people didn't like it, I thought it was pretty good ending. It was expected, but I liked it.
I'm team Neon. Love that power.
Also, I wish concrete had a karma bomb. It would have been so cool.
