What exactly is emergent gameplay?

Err...
Wow.
Well welcome to the club, pal
Might I recommend: Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog, and Nirvana as well! The 90's were the pinnacle of rock imo...
HATE Pearl Jam and Nirvana. But love Soundgarden. Don't know much about Temple of the Dog, though.

Love standing on the edge of a roof top with the soundtrack playing, looking down thinking how I'm going to tackle the enemy's. This is the first game I've felt like a super hero.
If you think the gameplay is frustrating and boring, I hate to say it but you probably aren't playing correctly. Like myself and others have said many times on this thread, the combat is going to come off super difficult IF you stand around and take potshots at enemies. You absolutely have to stay moving to stay alive, and once you do that, you'll rarely die. And it gets way better as you collect shards and upgrade abilities.
I do. It's really gimmicky, but fun.
I also like that the controller sounds like your are actually shaking a spray can.It's not the same code for everyone.
You have to go to the detective website, go to the employees login, choose "forgot your password" and find answers in the detective wallet. Then you will have access to detective files where the code is.

I don't think I've posted in here since Friday when I was waiting out the last few minutes of work before I could finally play.
After spending a good amount of time playing it this weekend... this game is great. It's beautiful and smooth, and as I expected I'm having lots of fun playing and navigating the city.
I just got
last night and haven't used it much or powered it up all the way.
Sucker Punch has done an amazing job.

Ya you have to mix up your move set while in combat, there's nothing like launching a car or a dumpster into a group of enemy. Can't wait to get off work and start playing again.
Paper Trail spoilers:
Look in the wallet for the guy's business card.
Go to website listed in his email address.
Click "forgot password".
Use stuff in the wallet to answer the security questions.

Anyone found the theme song that was playing in the E3's trailer of the game?

I think the biggest graphical flaw this game has is the shadow popping when aiming. At day even very close to building you see the shadow lod switch when zoomed in.
At time i think it would have been better to just go with the lower level of shadows to get rid of that lod switch.

I am really enjoying this game and in my opinion this game justifies my PS4 purchase. This is the first infamous game for me and I really like it. Sucker Punch is a very talented studio and I would love for them to add multiplayer to this game.
I think the powers are great but I think the first 2 you get are much better than the third one and I switched back as soon as I could. Also I hated the boss fight right before you get the third power it was very frustrating in my opinion. Also wish there was more variety in the side missions but still love the game. Other than those 2 things I am really am enjoying this and would purchase dlc if they have it in the future.

Okay, Platinumed.
So far I've platinumed every inFamous game except the first one (never got around to finishing the evil side).

I do respect, but I cant agree with those who are saying the gameplay is boring or frustrating.
I didnt even got the Neon power, and am having lots of fun with the combat!
Like some already said, the key is to keep moving. Delsin have high mobility skills, just keep moving and blasting and you will be fine, for sure! Upgrade the skills to use less resource and do not spare missiles at numbered or strong enemies. The gameplay is pure fun! I am always looking for combat!

Did we get the platinum at the same time?
Mine says 1:32, which was about 20 minutes ago in my timezone.

I believe any game made before 1997 is "essentially cave man art."
I didn't enjoy the first two games in the series but I loved this game. I thought it was a tad short, so I hope they include some major dlc since I thought the locale was cool and the powers were awesome. Easily a 9/10 for me
Around 10 minutes give or take.
We are bros in some way.
I thought Expert difficulty felt right. Enemies weren't too accurate and I always had a chance to dash away to safety if needed.

lol I get really into the spraycan stuff. It's a neat little idea to shake up the side mission variety that also that adds a lot to Delsin's character.

One of the things that bugs me about the game - no skippable cutscenes. Uggghh.
I started playing Hero, then quickly wanted to switch to evil. Had to watch all of the intro stuff again. Props for letting me pause the cutscenes, but shame on you for not allowing me to skip them. I don't care how long you worked on the scene or how proud you are of your work. I've seen it already, and it wasn't that fantastic the first time. Ok, the facial animations are amazing, but that doesn't excuse this. ALWAYS LET THE PLAYER SKIP A CINEMATIC. NO EXCEPTIONS.

There was a hidden camera in a tree that I could not find for the life of me. I switched to smoke powers and that's when I finally found it. I doubt they're related, but I was so pissed I was willing to try anything, haha.
Lol....what?!
Yikes, how did you not notice every time you got a blast shard?

I believe he is talking about the skills with miltiple levels, like those to use less resource.
If not... omg! All those shards talking about upgrades! If that is the case, he should, definitely, play again. Would be a new experience. Lol
Edit: Yeah, that was it!

Yesss I'm not the only one! Haha. I unlocked all of the branching abilities but didn't notice that some of them had the different "level" bars associated with them that you could upgrade....until I was like 2/3 through the game -_-

that's fucking awesome. enjoy your hallucinatory experience.
Shit be trippin' balls yo. (click image for video)
camera clips through windows on the building, sunshine gradually seeps through!
Dump? I switched between them all the time.
Yeah it gives you some items to look at and do your own detective work with.
A wallet full of items, crime scene photos, and Delsin's phone which you have to enter a tracking code into to continue the mission in-game. Without giving anything away, look through the wallet items and do some sleuthing.

I beat the game over the weekend and I have to say that Im a little disappointed in the game.
- The story is weak and pretty short. Seems to be missing the high stakes of the previous Infamous games
- None of the side activities are interesting, seriously the side missions suck. Stencil art was kinda cool the first dozen times you do it but its still incredibly limited, would have been awesome to be able to decide which design you wanted to use and where to use it.
- Delsin is obnoxious 95% of the time
This last complaint is a bit more nitpicky but does anybody else just kinda find the powers to be...weird? I mean why would humans evolve to be able to conjure man made things like
The moment to moment combat is great, they've vastly improved the traversal mechanics, and oh yeah, the game can be ridiculously pretty, but these few niggles kept me from really loving this game.

I'll like scoping them out, then blasting them before they run.
