Infamous: Second Son |OT| Smells Like Beanie Spirit
- Thread starter BurnOutBrighter
- Start date
After you finish that part, you should be able to get another mission marker in game for a mission called "Follow the Money." After that you have two things to look at on the website, and that's it for this week. Or last week's whatever.
Sleeping Dogs had the same issues. Rockstar games traditionally do these things a lot better.
You're probably going to miss out on that trophy. It's REALLY dumb how they don't let you select difficulty before starting.

I heard bad things about this game the missions get repetitive.. Is this true or nah?
Well to be fair, you can't switch the difficulty until after you begin the game.
The main story missions are a blast but the side filler activities aren't fun at all.

The side missions yes, but if you mix them up with regular missions it won't feel so grindy.
The game is still great despite it though.
All side missions are the same:
- find camera
- find secret agent
- spray paint
+ some extra objectives like kill drug dealers etc.

What a bloody joke. Might just change to easy not for the rest of the game and replay it on expert. Thanks.

You have to hit the menu button before you even tilt the analog stick
Any movement before you change to expert will cause you to miss the trophy, even if it's before you see a single enemy
Big time, great villain!

The visuals are just flat out stunning. Only downside thus far (about an hour in) is the dialogue. If Naughty Dog or Amy Henning could've helped SP out in this regard the game would be amazing. Still early and I hope it gets better, but some of the things said thus far have been kinda corny.

She's got the evil eyes.
Was an excellent villain until the final boss fight.
Lol reversal, she was just doing it to be good

Once you watch the first part of the game again, that twist makes no sense, because she does not at all act like she is trying to help conduits, even through locking them up. She generally seems to view them as dangerous lessers.
Lol, ridiculous. I wonder how many people have missed the trophy because they touched the stick before changing difficulty.
Indeed, just started my second playthrough.
Also, it's not like Cardun Cay is some kind of Conduit-only gated community, but more some torture center where the conduits are experimented on for years...

On a different note, I love how in the beginning, on the way to Seattle you already see some particle effects for two of the other powers. I totally missed those the first time though.

I am having the same issue. did the first mission in game couldnt finish it, went to the site and registered but no confirmation email. There is no option for resend confirmation either. Facebook doesnt work for me says "invalid credentials" whatever that means.

I haven't beaten the game yet (not even close) so I don't know how it leaves the world or these characters, but that final audio log has me drooling over the idea of a sequel.
Edit: I take it you can't access that final shard until progressing further in the game?

I just wanted to stop by and express my admiration of the game, it's the best on he new gen for me! I just love it, I started taking it slowly because I don't want it to end quickly!

Actually, I would say there is a decent chance the story was changed somewhere along the way because the beginning isn't really compatible with the end.
Augustine acts totally different in the beginning, Henry refers to the "plan" that she has that he knows about, which is why she's after him, and there's no way it's the "Lock all the conduits up" plan that she reveals at the end. Several characters and audiologs talk about how she's training conduits, but there's no payoff for that at all and there's no reason for it in the story. I think there was a plan for Augustine to be raising up her own army of conduits to go to war, but they changed it for some reason.

Hey guys, is this game worth buying if you've never played any of the prior games in the series?

Definitely. You don't need to know anything about the previous 2 games.

This was definitely my favorite Infamous game. Moving around with the new powers was INSANE, and felt like something only this gen could realize. Delsin was a great Evil karma character, that Infamous evil ending x_x!
Had lots of fun with this game, LOVED Fetch (wish we saw more of her). Not sure I'll go back in and complete it all but may. It seems like an easy platinum.

If the DLC is FoB level then the screenshit thread should be Infamous invaded again.

Yeah I noticed this too.
You hear Fetch talk about how Augustine was training her for something and this plot point that she is training the conduits at Curdun Cay is never elaborated on.
Maybe we'll learn about it in a future dlc
Absolutely.

i had the story mission chasing the light glltch on me earlier.
luckily you could abandon the mission and restart.
i had to take the second picture at the next murder scene. while i was taking it it sorta stopped and didn't "upload" to delsin's bro.

Not explicitly a spoiler but I'll tag it just in case. I wish the final Showdown
had some kind of extended phone conversation with the poor operator you kept speaking with. Tons of opportunity there for comedy (or even some compelling bits of narrative), surprised they didn't take advantage of it.

I think it is because
Hank knew she had been training Fetch and Eugene to wreck havoc. She planned for them to escape the whole time so she would have a purpose for the DUP to stick around. That is why she asked if Hank "shared" anything with Delsin.
Ah perfect! I was wondering what the case was.
I caught that too.
I think she had something planned until she got word that the military was taking back control from the DUP. Then her plan changed to staying in control of conduits, and she wasn't going to reveal her final plan to Delsin anyway. She knew she couldn't get him on board after killing Reggie. She just had to capture him and turn him after getting control again.

My thoughts on where the story was going:
I thought the escape of the 3 conduits was planned by Augustine. The game makes a point that the DUP was getting shut down and the military taking over watch of Conduits so I though she planned it all. Especially when Hank says he heard of the transport etc, I thought Augustine intentionally leaked the plan to get Hank to bust them out while on the way to the military (being the first transport) so that the DUP would be needed to get them back in custody and prove to the government that the DUP was still needed.
Then with Fetch saying about how she was trained I expected Augustine to actually be training certain conduits the DUP had for some kind of take over/war with normals. Instead she just wants to lock up all conduits apart from herself to keep them safe but also wants to torture them/inflict unnecessary pain on them just cuz.

Would really like to see Delsin in the next infamous game (Cole got 2 games and a spin-off DLC/side story so why can't Delsin? He's a better character than Cole). They will totally just plot point away his powers though. Oh no! a blast core Shard thingie has exploded and Delsin has lost whatever powers he had! Now you tussle with a guy with glass powers and get that and build up a new set that will be lost by the next game!
Would be ace to start a sequel with a fully decked out Delsin and actually adding powers ontop of that.

Yeah that would have been a nice payoff for doing all of them.
Man, this game is so good... I managed to beat it in 2 nights because I stayed up until almost 4 am both nights just playing it, then today I 100%ed my good playthrough. Haven't done anything like that in almost a decade! I was worried it was going to be another case of nothing-to-do post-game but
a good way to keep it engaging in a sandboxy way. Traversal in this game is just a joy, especially with neon (even though
is definitely faster/more efficient). Graphics are phenomenal especially the lighting/effects. Only disappointment was at the very end with
.
Now for an evil karma run, though I may save a third for expert since looking at the power trees, good abilities definitely more fit my playstyle. Think this time I'll go through more slowly.
DUP raids are

Concrete powers, they really feel like they were half realized and getting them in the last boss battle makes it seem like they were maybe a bit rushed and while they had the powers mostly done they didn't have the last set of missions around them either. It fits being end-of-the-game-bonus-content but really with how well they did on everything else I'd have loved to see them more fleshed out, especially with mission commentary about how he drains enemies to charge it.

I hope sucker punch gets away from the binary good or bad thing in the future. They need a deeper more nuanced morality system that isn't so black and white. Less The Avengers and more The Watchmen.
Keep poking around his wallet. Interesting though, it seems to randomize the clues you get/need. I had to figure out his cat's name, his favorite vacation spot, and where he parks.
Only if they separate karma from power unlocks.
Welp, I'm screwed. I just got the 3rd power on my expert run and I didn't switch the difficulty before I moved. I'm still going to finish and get 100% on my evil. Then I'll just blaze through the story again, I guess.
