That attraction between Delsin and his brother Reggie is undeniable. Shipping.
A bit of inside info for NeoGAF -- the Evil ending is DIFFERENT depending on what you do with Hank as well.
If you kill him in front of his daughter you get the full evil ending (with Orbital Drop). If you let him live, you don't get the Orbital Drop ending.

Really? Woah, I'm on my third playthrough with evil karma. I'm definitely going to try this out.
and i still might be fucked. I've looked everywhere, including the neighboring districts and nothing. I wonder if I shot a roving one down and didn't realize it and then died and it bugged out or something.
I'm gonna keep my eyes open but i'm gonna be extra careful on my evil karma run.
Check for cameras.
I'm not too far in, but I really, really like the graffiti "mini-game".
The game itself is gorgeous, and I can't wait to get my second power. My only "complaint" with the game is that some of the animations are clunky (climbing a building is when I notice them the most), but it's nothing that pulls me out of the game.

Ah! Two different Evil endings. Two Good endings as well?
Also, might wanna spoiler tag that name like I did.
I got all the cameras, shards, audio logs, agents, stencil arts, and district showdowns. My map is completely empty.

All the individual districts say 0%?
Just finished the game, ending was meh, game is phenomenal tho, it's been a long time since I finished a game and kept playing after I beat it, gameplay is so fun, if I had to give the game a score it'll be a 8.7, only thing holding this back to be a true masterpiece is the story and just bring down a notch the doucheness of delsin

Just finished the game. Really enjoyed it although I do wish they gave you concrete earlier because the city just isn't the same after doing all the side content so I don't feel as compelled to play after beating it though I will probably do an evil runthrough.

Beat the game today. I only played the first Infamous so it'd been a while since I've touched the franchise. It was a ton of fun! The surprise for me was how fun the boss fights were. I ended up liking Neon the best. I liked
but I feel like I wasn't using the powers to their best potential. Someone earlier in the thread said they could take an entire group of DUPs out with a well-coordinated
attack but all I could manage was subdue two soldiers at a time.
Didn't expect the game to end so suddenly but I enjoyed the story. I really liked almost all of the side characters, I just wish there were more opportunities to interact with them. Like, I loved Troy Baker and Travis Willingham even before I went into the game so I immediately liked their characters. But I started to wonder around
just how much of their likeableness stemmed from the actors and how much was evoked from the character writing. I loved Reggie's moments like when
and I wished there were more moments when he was on screen rather than talking to you through the phone.
The repetitiveness of the side stuff didn't bother me too much but I would have liked if they turned those side missions into neat things involving the other characters. But all in all I really enjoyed the game and I'm looking forward to playing the next Infamous.

Reggie's death
he ran around pretending to be a Conduit

I want to believe!!!
Am I already at the goddamn final boss?
I kinda rushed as I wanted the story so I could juggle between this, South Park (actually taking my time with that one), and Killer is Dead, plus mix in some other games I picked up... I'm on expert with about 60% but I don't think I have played any more than about six hours.

Hank just betrayed me and Reggie just died or maybe not. And I saw that coming from a mile away haha.

I get that most people want to believe Reggie isn't dead because of Hank being encased with concrete and surviving, but people seem to forget Hank is a conduit and Reggie isn't. He doesn't have the luxury of fast healing or all the perks being a conduits comes with. It makes a lot more sense if Reggie died.
Looks like a third playthrough for me. I'm excite.

What's wrong with it? Sorry, I'm using my phone, it looks fine to me.
Yeah, I beat it just a bit ago. I liked the final mission enough and at least the boss was better than the others, despite having too much health.
I'm a bit disappointed. I don't want to say the game is forgettable but man, did they sprint towards the finish line. If I hadn't done any of the of the dup deals the game would have felt super short.
I was hoping they would add more dynamic missions or something to the world. For the first half I got rid of every drug deal known to man and for the second, well, it was something less interactive but just as repetitive.
I had a decent time. I might try to write up something later.
You did it fine its just that you blackened all of it without giving any context so if someone who hadn't gotten to that part yet clicked on it (I know what you're thinking why would they) they wouldn't know what part you're talking about aka leading to a possible mishap with a portion of the game being spoiled for them.

I finished the game on expert on my first play-through for reference , and no fight except the last one felt long, there are some quircks to the powers that you have to learn to defeat the bosses quickly.
For example:
The rock dude that you are supposed to fight with neon when you have no smoke recharge can be pretty quickly defeated by dodging his melee with a dash towards him and using your melee , it drains more health than just shooting.
For Agustine after Reggie's death , you have to use the shotgun smoke and then the video missile swords, you can recharge them quickly using the stealth.
Third boss can be defeated faster by shooting the angels down when it disintegrates.
you can use these same techniques until you get concrete in the last boss, then it's enduring until your full set of abilities. No really that long or repetitive.

Also, i guess i see where some people come from when they say the games it's not fun for them , because this game even if its a sandbox, it's more close to a P* game than a Rockstar game. Infamous never felt much like sandboxes to me , and thats why i love them , the only GTA i ever finished was San Andreas, they usually bore me to death.

I swear I read somewhere that the "wilderness" was going to be a full blown "area" in the game. I forgot I read that until I finished the game and I realized there was no such thing, other than for 20 minutes in the intro.
Did I hallucinate?

I think so... How would you get any power refills there?

Any game is mindless if you rush every side objective, AC4, GTA ect.
Don't know what to tell you other than you played the game wrong. You can do what you describe in many open world games.
Yeah I don't feel if you put GTA style side missions with new graphics it becomes some sort of enhanced, more "next gen" experience. To me I was happy using my powers a lot as opposed to shooting and driving and swimming for stuff in GTAV, in it's side content. That said I can understand people wanting more content, it just never stopped me from enjoying what was there.

The icon is there (on the bridge), but it won't let me do anything.
Is there something I have to do on the website for the third section of part one?
Nope, I didn't and I was able to complete the bridge paper trail mission
Brute forcing all of the side content right as it becomes availiable usually isn't the best way to go about things.

Weird. Time for dumb questions. You already finished the story right? Did you actually spend your shards on all the upgrades?
Sure I'm not denying that but in Infamous I was enjoying traversal and using my powers I personally wasn't too worried about exploration as much as those aspects. I wasn't the biggest GTAV or IV fan though so maybe it's not too fair for me to compare as even with more side content I very rarely enjoyed it.
I completely agree with you in regards to boss fights in arenas vs the open-world. I've never been a big fan of boss fights in general, but the open-world boss fights in inFamous 1 & 2 were actually quite enjoyable. They felt more like the Command Center battles or Showdowns in Second Son, in which you could try different angles/tactics and escape for a power regen.

You tired yourself out by just rushing and doing the same mindless stuff over and over again.
You mentioned yourself that you won't have long to play with the new powers once you get them. Well, if you left some districts untouched (the ones the main missions didn't really take you into), you wouldn't really have had this problem.
I know it sounds silly to say that you played the game wrong - it's not really your fault. This issue could have been avoided by simply gating some of the district sidequests by certain main missions.

This is the internet we're talking about... Have you seen the amount of Bioshock Infinite rule 34 that's out there?

Just got it to work.
I think I didn't actually look at the crime scene photos or something after I finished the last part.

Playing through my evil run after 100%ing good, I'm just before going to the new area across the bridge and have my available powers maxed and man, so far the evil powers are super lame. I feel much much weaker than I did at this point with the good versions of these powers.
I hope this changes later on because it's a bummer playing a super hero game where you feel like a wet noodle.
The lack of slow motion on neon aiming really blows too)

Still trying not to read much about this game, since I haven't finished. But the little that comes up seems like negative and I haven't really heard many positives about it. Whereas I absolutely love this game and think its the best inFamous.
I've been hearing people don't like Delson or any of the characters... but the thing I absolutely hated about infamous 1 and 2 were the characters. I actually like Delson a bit... Cole was terrible (I was team redesign) and Zeke was even worse. Everything about this game is better. No idea what people were expecting.

Hey, so there's a feature in this game that I don't think ive seen mentioned or talked about by anyone.
After I cleared the game at 100%, (spoilered just in case)

there began to be DUP Raids at what used to be the DUP stations, there are big red alert icons on the map when they appear, and there is a notification of a raid happening at "so and so" district
