Yeah that part. The amount of stuff going on with Fetch and Eugene flying around was seriously insane. They should have been far more prominent during the main missions to mix things up. Most missions were dull compared to that.

But the inFAMOUS ending...
Hm, I never even bothered to try that. Is there a place to draw smoke during that battle or is it that you're supposed to be conservative and beat the enemy without wasting any smoke? I guess they didn't want to program in a different kind of scene and it would sort of break the story if Augustine's suspicions weren't confirmed.
I liked inFAMOUS Delsin more than True Hero Delsin. Troy Baker really nailed both but I thought dark Delboy was better in the end.

I actually found this to be rather corny and kinda comic booky/hokey. Especially,
Eugene's dialogue was cringe worthy with the Power Rangers accent.
Climbing the tower amounted to using the same smoke vent/rinse repeat. I feel like they could have made it more interesting to scale using the various powers. I also would have preferred if the final battle took place on the rooftop outside and featured rain/weather effects for extra drama rather than a small and enclosed room...
Small complaints aside I still very much enjoyed the game, I just would have done it a little differently in the lead up.
That's exactly what made it awesome.

yeah, don't
hit the satellite dishes, just dash and hover. Might help if you unlock the aim hover, airwave, and double dash - and start very high of course.
Probably does, yeah. Just go on top of a tall building and hover. Third power hover is really good for staying in the air.
It's good for traversal. Not a fan of it in combat.
Disappointed, yes, but Delsin always has his own style so you'll never get 1:1 power copies with him.

I guess? That was my biggest complaint with the first two games though (the cheesy story, insufferable supporting cast *cough* Zeke and the over the top ridiculousness).
I much preferred Second Son's more grounded approach up until the later half.
Somewhat. I mean, the animation was there and it's ostensibly an ability of the ice power from the second game. It would have made sense to use it.
Yeah I guess...but then again endless run with neon is kinda kick ass for traversal too.
Neon is the best power in the game. It's versatile, it looks great and the move set is useful in every situation. Sounds good too!
I get that, but the way it's done now, there's no style at all.

The thing is the triangle button is only used for the "surrender" option. They could have easily added a heavy melee attack button to triangle. Could have opened up some combo abilities. Hopefully they do that for the next game.
Ah yeah...but I play evil so there's no slowdown..just increased damage on head shot.

It's great for combat when you want to do stealth
Yeah. What they should do:
Square & Triangle for light and heavy melee attacks. Touchpad for Karma-based actions, such as healing civilians and subduing enemies if you have Good karma and executing civilians/enemies if you have Evil karma.
Hire me, Sucker Punch.
I loved
Eugene's hokey Video persona, accent and all. It seemed like just the sort of powerful character the kid would've imagined himself as,
The tower
Nope, a few people have mentioned that. I won't be holding my breath, but it'd be cool if they patched it in later.
I've literally never desired stealth in this series.

I'm loving this game so far. It really has it's hooks in me right now. I've been playing 3-4 hour long sessions, which is rare for me.
I did hate the part where you had to
Frustrated the hell out of me.
Otherwise, really diggin' it.

Just finished my infamous expert run. (did not 100% this one since I already did on my true hero normal one)
i had an evil smile on my face the entire time.
THAT WAS A REALLY FUCKED UP ENDING YO SHIT

Still have time to add it in DLC. Just need a Blast Core Relay!
Missiles will stun him out of his laser, and his missiles seem to only track the platform you're on - so as soon as he starts charging his laser, missile him, if he starts the missile move, switch platforms, and at all other times just spam shots at him (his laser and missile windups look different, different reticile etc, learn to differentiate them).
comet drop on 3 coughing enemies is hard
Just find a group of drug dealers near a lowish roof top, stand on the roof, toss a grenade down, then comet drop them once they're coughing

I did it on the drug dealers, they don't seem to run away from the sulfur grenades as much as DUP enemies do.
Edit: Beaten...

Do it on drug dealers that have holed up on a segment of a roof. They don't aggro until attacked, so toss a few smoke bombs from above/near them and drop down or use an exhaust jump to drop.
You don't need to kill them, just hit them, so even a slightly high jump and mashing down three close guys counts.

The drug dealers made it really easy for me.

it's even harder when you get it mixed up with orbital drop - took my 2nd run to realize what I was doing wrong, lol
Baron Aloha
A Shining Example
I just finished the tutorial section. I think I have all of the smoke powers now (including that move where you fly up really high and then come crashing down). I'm just running around blowing stuff up now. I can already tell this game is going to be a lot of fun.
Sigh. I can't access the DLC I got when I pre-ordered.
Problem was that I have a R2 disc. Then after it installed I switched over to my R1 account.
Was playing for about 4 hours until I found it fishy that I still hadn't encountered Cole's Legacy. Then checked my "Related Items" under my R1 account, and BAM! No DLC showed up.
Switched back to my R2 account. All the DLC is there under "Related Items".
I swear this never happened back in the PS3 days.

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.
[4th power spoilers]
It's even more difficult trying not to run over people with the fourth power, I always feel bad when I send three innocent civilians flying. Have to keep reminding myself that the concrete dash is not harmless like the neon dash
Ahh I can't wait for my evil playthrough.
its not possible to go to The top of The Space Needle a second time, right?
