A PSA about double smoke stack attack which may or may not have been obvious to others. I got it accidently last night (yeah, accidently) and it should be noted that you don't have to go through two vents to get it, you just need to use two vents. I went through one and the roof I popped out on had another vent facing upwards so I dashed at it for that height boost that it gives and mega-slammed off the side of the building afterwards. I was quite surprised that the achievement popped.
I was worried about his character too, but after playing this he is actually pretty good, not grating at all.

Errrrr... How do I begin a new game?
Just did the 100% and finished with good karma.
Do I have to play all along on expert to get the trophy or just the final combat?

I liked it. Finished Good, and currently doing evil, and it was well-done. It didn't pack as much punch as the first two, at least plot-wise, but the character development was great, and the ending reflects that.
Wasn't anything overly-special, but it was cool. Not bad by any means imo.

It starts off like that, but when I know I'm going into a rumble I pot-shot a few cars to set them smoking so I don't have to do a rooftop refuel. I only have the smoke power at the moment, and that gives me all kinds of combat options now. Feels great.
I think you have to go into the options menu from the game and load a blank save or something. As for the expert trophy, you have to switch the difficulty to expert right when the game gives you control of delsin at the beginning, if you make any progress as all while still on normal then it won't pop.

I don't want this game to end.
I'm on my second playthrough, going for the platinum. But instead of finishing up the last remaining stuff, I'm destroying all the DUP infastructure that can be perma-damaged.
If Sucker Punch does a sequel to Second Son, it will be what Uncharted 2 was to Drake's Fortune. My god.

I feel that they try a bit too hard to make him look and act "cool", but overall I haven't found him intolerable. There's some good humour in there too, he's not as douchey as he looks all in all I'd say.
Define low review scores.
This is already the third game in the series. Even when controlling for the next-gen bump, I don't think SP is capable of outputting a top-tier title like ND. Also, the rumor is that SP is moving on.
It isn't.
everything you just said is bs
Right the reviews seem mostly fine to me except of a handful.

I actually ended up liking him a lot. Great character.
It depends on your tolerance for snarky youths of today. I honestly thought I wouldn't like him but he's cool. About what you would expect a young adult would be like if he suddenly discovered superpowers. Mixed with tolerable Spiderman wit.

I hear that and it is a good idea, but the fact remains that sucker punch has had 3 chances to make this "shooter with energy bolts instead of bullets" thing work and I don't think they have executed well with any of them.
Just like with infamous 1+2, Ground pound and Meele feel far more satisfying and effective, but you still are dealing with enemies with an unholy level of accuracy and a unfair amount amount of damage dealing.
Relegating energy shots to a secondary attack and making the game more meele based in abilties and encounters removes this.
It also allows for much more creative enemy types to fight.
I personally haven't experienced this "judder" that people have mentioned, or at least I'm not aware of it.
I would like to try a locked 30fps though, do we think SP will patch it? GG did for KZSF.
same boat. It's weird... I thought he was a pretty good hero but he makes a HELL of a villain.

Excuse my ignorance, but what are these paper trail missions? And how can I find them?
For some reason I feel like the ground pound move is weaker for Delsin. I miss Cole's damage reduction upgrade and increasing the power of basic shots. He feels weaker to me in comparison with Cole. I barely defeated anyone with comet drops and it was dangerous to use it since I'd be in the perfect spot to be shot and killed quickly. Delsin feels so weak to me.
I wholeheartedly agree about the accuracy and damage. And now that enemies can melee to, I only try to keep the highest ground to do battle far away but the "grenades" have crazy good accuracy as well.
I also wish they kept the basic bolt style from infamous 1 when you could still shoot without energy. Losing all ranged attacks kinda sucks in this game since you are so easily damaged or pushed away from draining resources even when its quick
(especially in boss fight with Eugene)
Start here
Once you do all the preliminary stuff and get it linked to PSN, go do the first mission in the game. Then you'll go back to the site and back to game etc. etc.
That's what I wanted to know.
Thanks for the advice, guys. Think I might download this today. I wanna taste that next gen goodness. I need some splendid PS4 graphics and audio in my life.

This game would be absolutely amazing if the melee was something like ninja gaiden/god of war/bayonetta.
Here is an easy way to get the double smoke stack achievement early on the game.
Very MINOR spoiler...so minor it may not even be a spoiler and I will be as vague as possble
again- this is in the first hour of the game...if that..
your welcome

When you are at the top of the space needle fighting the DUP dudes there are many vertial smoke stacks that simply suck you in/spit you out vertically. Jump in one, hover to the next, jump back out and bomb down for the easy achievement

Its looking like I will get 30+ hours easily out of 2 playthroughs. I am really enjoying it. Loving the boss battles too. This is he most fun I've had with a game in a while. As much as I would love to see another game in the inFAMOUS universe, I really want to see a new IP from SP. They are some talented mofos.
Actually seems way more do-able in this game than in previous infamous games.

Just got 100% on my evil play through and I still can't stop playing it haha. Going to get as many trophies as possible before I start my good play through. I'm actually pretty shocked I haven't worn myself out on this game. Probably took me 15-16 total hours to 100% it. I'm getting random DUP raids popping up through out the city, was that part of the day one dlc?

I am going to a mission and then I see a flying drone and follow it who knows where away from the mission I attended to finish
they combined the blast-shards from the previous inFamous games and the birds from inFamous 2 making mobile shards
Look through the wallet.
Jet Skiing is what is tripping you up, the other two are written exactly as they are found in the wallet
Easily. Don't worry. Missions tend to give you drastic increases in Karma.
There are different questions.
