Radiant Sweep
I am amazed.
Lol.
My wife loves the Radiant Sweep. Every time I do it, she's like, "That is so fucking awesome." It's her favorite out of the Karma Bombs, but she really likes the Orbital Drop as well.
I hung out with my buddy yesterday, and he finally sat down to really play the game some more, and got to Neon. When he did see the Radiant Sweep for the first time, he literally did the Banderas, and he has no idea what the fucking Banderas is. That just made it even more satisfying. LOL.
You're kidding me :/ I chose to save my Hero playthrough when I did my Expert run just for that fact.
thanks for your help but i feel like i'm missing something. i'm still not able to login/gain the pasword....Don't capitalize and the second answer is meaty martha's
man i feel stupid now. time to slep
thanks for the help though!

Fantastic, I'll get on that this week then. Thanks
Yeah, they say nice things to you instead of mean things. That's the extent of it.
Expert isn't very difficult anyhow, so you'll be a-ok.

I find myself needing to stay a *lot* more mobile, prioritize my targets and mix up my powers more.
I've had to redo some set-piece battles more than a few times so far, but its just forced me to get better really. Playing evil also means that I tend to create a long line of destruction rather than focusing on specific targets as I did when Good. The more a swathe of destruction you can unleash as Evil the more combo you build up which means more opportunities to use your super moves. Its not uncommon for me to break out the big stuff two or three times in a single running battle.
And God damn is that fun
They both had online co op.
Crackdown gave you less story and less side missions. As for powers. YEah I guess that is true. You had Car. Power. Shooting. And that was it i suppose. But Crackdown came out in like...2006 or 2007. Infamous came out 2013 and doesnt seem to do much more.
Cars and guns? Its not about using them. Its about CAN you.
Its not like im going very fast to begin with, nor are my powers very powerful. I'm essentially KILLING everyone with smoke bombs. Why cant i just shoot them in the head then? Or run them down with my car?
Yeah I guess youre right. Crackdown didnt do as much. But it did more at the time than this does now. Meaning...inflation of technology makes this less impressive.
This game is too much lacking in things to do by its omission of weapons or vehicles or co op.
Very easily you could have had a second player play the brother. Use weapons and drive cars, and level up your abilities to shoot or drive.
I duno. This game seems so ...7ish. Like it FEELs like a solid 7. It doesnt make me want to ever pick it up again. Nor does it make me want to buy it or buy DLC for it.
Its too black and white. Too unspectacular.

Is anyone else getting the corrupt disck/hard disk message upon booting the game up? This game won't run for me at all. Can't even get past the initial loading screen.
Fucking frustrating...

It wasn't until I got to Seattle that I found the difficulty option. Changed it to expert in my first playthrough but didn't get the trophy
Playing through it for a second time on expert. I wonder what normal is like

I Agree with u there. The story isn't much. But at least it isn't obtrusive and so bad it takes away from the gameplay. The whole story progression is bad to me and they missed a major opportunity. I love the game but I can see its flaws. 8/10
I got it once, but I just wiped the disc off and it was fine. Can you hear the disc spinning up over and over?
Here's a GIF of civilians helping Delsin kill a DUP guy because they love him so much.

I'm pretty sure that's scripted and only in that one part in the end game.
Right. Just showing the only part it happens. They run like chickens at every other point in the game.
Lol, I like that too. Kinda wish Delsin and the woman ended up with a stronger rapport by the end.
Yeah, the cute drawings on the playground. There are a few neon Sly signs around. Marquees talking about his arrest. The Sly 4 theme as Delsin's ringtone. Also "Panda King Gas" and "Cooper and McGrath" buildings.
Right. Just showing the only part it happens. They run like chickens at every other point in the game.
Ah. Playing a hero run would be difficult if they helped out. At least in a cognitive dissonance kind of way.
Poor duders would be flying left and right.

And I'm glad they do when I'm playing as a Hero and don't want to completely destroy my karma streak by killing more civilians than DUP's with my karma bomb. As it is, I take down one DUP guys, the civilians panic and run away, then I bomb the DUP. I think it works well.
After finishing it, my impressions:
- The graphics, IQ, insane texture quality, and attention to detail are just amazing. The quantity of unique buildings, signs and other assets are ASTOUNDING, especially so when you compare it to something like Assassin's Creed. There are a TON of tiny details that I'm sure most people will never realize.
Some examples: Check out the pedestrian crosswalk sign to see that that it's not one texture with some glow at its center. Each dot is individually glowing!
The side mirrors on damaged cars are cracked and instead of just being a low resolution texture it's high res and the cracks are bump-mapped (and it looks good)
The list goes on and on and on. Truly impressive stuff and I have no idea how they managed it on a team that was no doubt a lot smaller than the average size of a team making an open world city.
- On the whole, the game feels like Sucker Punch cut a lot of corners to get it out early. Strange pacing, seemingly missing plot lines, and jarring transitions during the campaign. Underbaked mission design. Bland side missions. A lack of unique areas for the campaign levels (I'd have liked to see you go inside buildings and structures during certain missions as long as they were mostly wide open and not limiting your ability to use your powers). There are some really awful parts to the game, too. I'd imagine that their next game will fix most of this if they decide to make another one.
- Combat is fun, for the most part, although you have to make it fun by being creative and avoiding cheesing them from far away. That said, the enemy AI is pretty decent. There are certainly some really cool things you can do by combining your attacks and traversal powers.
- Dialogue was quite bad in parts even though some of the voice actors were great (delsin, his brother, the villain). Some of the other characters had some terrible accents.

So End Game.... What's coming next?
The game itself is very short. I've just completed both Evil and Good plays.
Is there a way to enable Night Time or a day cycle?
What DLC do we have to look forward to that will let us keep enjoying this game?
Any FarCry 3 method to reset DUP control?
It saddens me greatly though to not have any time cycles. This game looks amazing when it's wet and dark, yet end game all we get is Noon time.

This game is working great on remote play with the Vita. Good stuff.
Apparently the DLC they're working on is similar in scope to Festival of Blood, which was very good.
You can clear some DUP raids in the end game and those Paper Trails missions for now I suppose.
I read about the DLC part, but was hoping for some quicker little additions. Why they left out UGC from this is beyond me. Even the dumbest of missions would be pretty fun I'd think. This game is just a blast to romp through.
The Paper Trail missions are very neat, and I sure hope they give us the power at the end of all of this. But then again, what use is the Paper Power if we have nothing original to really use it on?

I think Sucker Punch could of done with a little extra time to come up with more variety in the enemies. I would of loved to of seen the DUP being all hulked up with various abilities given to them by the government. Fighting against enemies with a wide range of different powers would of been interesting. It seems rock (?) is the only ability any of the DUP has and only recently have I seen a new move from them
I am also not seeing any " race " type side missions either. Which is a little disappointing considering how insanely fun travelling in this game is. Really, has to be the most fun I've ever had moving around in an open world game.
now they create platforms up against buildings to snipe me from, and will jump to another building to create another platform on if I begin attacking

The game needs a New Game+. I'd play the game again with Paper from the start.

Why is the face model for Betty on another level?
There's not a new game +?
I just completed Good at 100%. For bad play through, I just start a new game?
Will it have saved my paper trail progress? Or do I start that over too?

I'm not sure about that. I've been able to sign-up and complete Paper Trail Part 1 and I live in Saudi Arabia. Maybe try any VPN and see if that works?

I manually saved Good and Evil playthrough on two slots. Ao If you save you current progress manually it will remain.
Yeah, that's smart.

I hope some of the DLC to come can fill that role.
All your jackets should remain, but everything else will be reset. I haven't checked on my paper trail 2nd play through, so no clue on if that remains or resets.
Another gripe.... Whether you play Good or Evil, the only difference in the story, besides the ending animations, are a few different lines and a slightly different mission after obtaining a new power. Was a let down as I was expecting a much more varied and branched out story depending on your moral choices.

What's the extra traversal upgrade for the 3rd power everyone was talking about? I looked in the skill tree and didn't notice anything.
Smoke is easily my favorite. I'm a sucker for particle and alpha transparency effects, I guess. I always went back to it any chance I had.
If only it had one more air dash or the vehicle jump perk shot higher, I would have found it perfect.

The trick is to make the best use of the rooftop vents/fans to bound between buildings - and at that height you can use a mix of timed boosts and hovers to cross even large open areas to the rooftops beyond.
I didn't make as much use out of them in my first playthrough, but now that I'm a second run and just running around and exploring the city a lot more I've come to rely upon those most of the time, and its just made me respect the city's design that much more.
Oh yeah, it's totally viable as it is now. I'd just like it more if I were able to comet smash straight down to a car and shoot back up, especially in the second island. Saving a dash and hovering towards the next rooftop vent to recharge and lift off is a part of its charm, but traversal is significantly slower compared to the other powers. I'd be more willing to accept that trade off for some more variety for smoke, I guess?

So I finally get the game today from gamefly, put it in and install it, then my ps4 beeps twice and shuts off. Unplugged it and plugged it back in, ejected the disk, then it was working for a bit only to do the same thing lol. Anybody have this issue? Might as well contact Sony or something.
