Some advice for the secret agent sidequest. If you just stay on a roof area when you take on the quest and L2 around and see the person just look at them and shoot your R1 power and they will die in one hit without even getting a chance to run.
Also I smiled everytime I did a spray paint quest. Loved the controls and the art is so good.

The first game had an in-game cut off, can't remember the second but I guess it did.

Lol. Must be random. I only had one black agent so far. Where are the Asians?Grimløck;105451799 said:

Yeah man, it's always been great for me as well. It's just on this game, I'm opening the share menu and it's showing 15 minute recordings from hours back.

It works for this game because Delsin can run and teleport all over the place. He's much less tactical than Cole.
This game encourages you to move a lot. Notice how there's not even a cover option this time -- at least not that i've seen yet.

Today I could just try the game, then I showed it to my girlfriend and my mom, they were both shocking impressed by the IQ. They were amzed and surprised to see the point that videogames reached nowadays. And, honestly, me too! Its amazing what sucker punch did with it, specially for a open world game!!
Knowing the gameplay by inFamous 1 and 2, and those amazing graphics, alltogheter; I just think its hard to believe it should deserve less then a 8/10. For it to deserve a 6/10 or a 3/5 it, imo, have to fail in its gameplay... but I dont think it is the case. This media seems full of bs lately; however I cant say for sure right now (but im itching to play).

For fucks sakes who cares that someone didn't enjoy it as much as you? Would you prefer a reviewer just ask their mum and girl friend what score it should get?
Yeah same here. The motion controls work flawlessly. Love the sounds and vibration of the spray can in the controller. And the art is adorable.
I actually like all the side missions except secret agent and drug busts. All the others have some personality. The showdowns have the prank calls, the graffiti is quite creative, the hidden cameras are a good distraction, the drones are addictive as hell (every time i hear that distinctive beep, I abandon the main mission to get my fix!) and the audio logs are so well done. Secret agent missions are boring and drug busts are just terribly repetitive with some of the worst AI I have ever seen. Take note, SP! Overall, I'm quite happy with the side missions.
This game is 9/10 to me.
You can't win em all, and probably reviewers are suffering from open world fatigue - they just went through the excellent GTAV, AC4 and DR3. I don't think Sessler has any ill intentions but it was likely just his honest opinion at the time.

And I said that?
For someone who is defending a "who cares with different opinions" position, you seems very affected by my point of view!

I am enjoying the game though I miss the older style shard hunt.

After about 4 hours with this game, up to my 2nd power, mostly just clearing out the first island, I gotta say I like it a lot. There are things I'd improve, but it's still a pretty solid game. The "pew pew pew" of combat isn't as dull as it started to look in some of the footage leading up to launch.

Just got the third power on my evil playthrough (already did Hero). I am loving this game more than I did the first go through... and I have no idea why. This game is excellent. Sure, the missions are often the same, but they're FUN and that's what really matters.
Edit: Also, I love how the cinematics are in game and they change the jacket depending on what you're wearing. Cole Legacy jacket is rockin \m/

I had similar issue/bad vibe with KZ:SF too. I just suspect it is some thing to do with combat designers taking inspiration from one another inside WWS.
I really hope, Sony WWS will move away from this idea of spawning enemies in mid-combat. Especially AI that are spawn behind are really annoying. PS3 games like Uncharted, Infamous1/2, KZ:2 etc had very good combat design. Where there was no mid combat AI Spawn.

The tagging activity is amazing. Everything about it works just right with way more effort than it needed on Sucker Punch's part.. It's short and simple, but it works.

Exactly, I just finished my 100% good Karma run today (I am doing a 100% evil run tomorrow for platinum).
One of the last audio logs I found talks about how Agustine was obsessed with how many powers you could gain. It talks about how she was worried if you ever made it to Curdun Cay you would get glass, wire, paper, "and a whole list of other powers". If nothing else I can definitely see Second Son Two (horrible I know idk what else to call it) heading in that direction.

at first I was like this is weirddd but then I started enjoying it for reasons I can't even explain.
Anyone knows how to make the sound louder/evenly for surround sound?
This is the same crap that I kept getting with AC4 too.
Tried Linear PCM and bi-stream setting, but my surround system isn't pick up the "middle" part of the speaker.
All voices are going into L/R speakers, all the music/effects are evenly played out...

Yup! Very nice attention to detail. Even the spray paint has been simulated quite nicely. The way it dries looks so good.
Yeah I have no problem with the side stuff because I have so much fun doing all of it. Also enjoying what I got up to in Paper Trail, it has me hooked for the upcoming content.
Haven't had a chance to play yet, too deep into Dark Souls 2 still, but since we got it from Amazon yesterday my son has burned through the game as hero and is playing through now as evil, he can't stop talking about how great it is.
Eveytime I walk in the room and see it on the screen, I'm pretty in awe by just how amazing it looks though. First game I've seen outside of a modded PC game like Skyrim that really makes me think next generation.

Have you beaten part 1? If they are doing this for 6 weeks, fun times ahead!

How do I mark the houseboats?
The girl mentioned something about doing it with spray paint but I don't see any spray paint prompts.

I had a bug when i was in that mission: i wasn't able to mark them in anyway and had to restart the game. After finding the stack of drugs, in the same houseboat check for the place were the guy with the sniper/red laser gun was, and an icon with the spray can will appear.
Edit. On-Topic:
Neon special
The stash is usually on one side of the boat. Find and open it. After that, climb on to the second level of that boat. There will be an icon there for you to tag the boat. Only the boats with the stash need to be tagged. There are 3 of them IIRC. I think 2 of those boats also have hostages that you need to free before you can spray paint. You will hear them screaming behind a door on the first level (Delsin will mention it as you walk past the door to get to the second level)

Just fought my first boss battle and defeated him after about 4 tries. This was tons of fun, perhaps the greatest part of the game for me and it didn't bother me that I died a few times. Just used my neon powers plus the slowmo thing to aim his head while constantly dodging his attacks. Was awesome!
Is there more to combat than mashing the square button?

Did you try all the steps I mentioned? Defeating the enemies alone won't do.

Wow playing with evil karma is a ton of fun. It's so satisfying laying waste to everything and everyone without worrying about hitting civilians. Also I was pleased to see some alternate dialogue in cutscenes addressing what a giant dick I'm being.
Oh yeah it's also nice to see that if you start a new game you get to keep all the vests you unlocked in your other playthrough. Cole's jacket goes very well with evil Delsin.

Yeah I finally realized that the spray paint icon wasn't actually floating like every other icon in the game up to this point and it was in the other side of the damn houseboat and high up.
Nice! Can't wait to beat up those sign spinners!
It gets better. By the end, it's built up enough to the point that you're ready to kick some ass.
right?? SP did a very good job making the morality feel different in this game. I am a bad person. My actions show it, dialogue says it, and morality meter reads "evil". Gotta love it!

Love this game so far. Not very far with the missions, but focused mainly on clearing all the districts. Only complaint so far are the damn secret agent missions.

Such a fun game.
But but but… that is such an old morality system! Everything should be gray and ambiguous now, like real life. It's not next gen enough! We need moar ludonarrative dissonance!

Just had a civilian snap my pic with his phone and ask if I needed a personal assistant. Another one saw me running and parkouring and she yelled out "you're the second coming of Cole!" Haha. I love those little touches.
