A lot of the 1 liners from this reminded me a lot of the series Archer. I sort of wanted to hear Jon Benjamin in place of Troy.
Watch the good ending of infamous 2 again...
a flash of thunder strikes cole's dead body forming a giant question mark in the sky. It would actually be a retcon if they decided he was actually dead now.
Yes! Thought the same thing, especially when he was talking to
video game conduit who reminded me of Cyril
Speaking of, whenever I use the
angel/demon summoning powers, I think "High fiving a million angels" from 30 Rock

Well just got past "Eugene", having a great time of it so far. Baffled by the "ho hum" reviews this game received, but then Im not playing it with a checklist of things other open world games do and stupidly demanding that they be in Infamous.
My one complaint is the controls can sometimes feel cumbersome when you have to navigate a really small area. But other than that, the game is awesome. Challenging combat, a cool assortment of powers, gorgeous visuals, and a well acted story

That's how I've thought about it this whole time. Either ending from I2,
Cole should be "alive" in some form.
I remember pretty well the good ending of infamous 2 and
it would not be a retcon. We can think he's not dead. But it's not a confirmation that he's alive.
And Nate Fox and Brian Fleming said multiple times that Cole is dead.
I:SS:2 -
Cole's back as Zeus!
I hope they do find some way to put Cole back into the universe, and as something more than just a memory.

Lets talk about what we would love to see in a patch!
-30fps lock
-Time of day selector or dynamic day/night cycle
-Cheats menu or cheats at all (I haven't been able to find any, being able to mess around with gravity or the physics in these types of games is always fun)
-Better sound options (7.1 pleeeaaaaase!)
-Reset the map after 100%
-Or based on the above selection, an actual New Game+ mode

-30fps lock ( Not that important as the game runs smoothly during any part you actually control, but I could see how some would enjoy it.
-Time of day selector or dynamic day/night cycle ( Most Important aspect I believe )
-Cheats menu or cheats at all (I haven't been able to find any, being able to mess around with gravity or the physics in these types of games is always fun) ( Or if they could add in a UGC mode again, so we can make it do as we please )
-Better sound options (7.1 pleeeaaaaase!) (YES)
-Reset the map after 100% ( 2nd most important aspect )
-Or based on the above selection, an actual New Game+ mode ( Would be broken by the use of all powers too early on. I believe either speedy DLC or UGC would solve this need. )
I was wondering that aloud myself, and my wife suggested that it's possible it's because Delsin is the younger brother, the second son, and also that the First Sons were the original conduits that were inFAMOUS 2 good ending spoilers

I don't know, website says it's still locked.
Part 1 involves several back and forths between the game and the site, are you sure you're not still on part 1?
Are you sure it's Part 2 and not Portion 2 of Part 1?
Did you already hack the drone and then do the chase through the city after said Conduit?
First mission live in the game, website hasn't update.

I agree. I loved the first Infamous game.
They gave us a small open world with several specifically designed platforming/combat set pieces/structures, like the prison, the junk tower, the port/container fortress, the bridge, the sewer...
All those levels within the open world made IF stand out, and add the powers, the comic book feel, the depressing atmosphere, the solid story and you had a nice game.
IF2 cut those platforming set pieces/structures and gave us "just" another small open world, more powers and the mssions were all about combat here, combat there. The only platforming you did in this game were to traverse the map.
Second son continues this trend to cut even more platforming (you don`t even need it for traversal anymore) and is giving us a main story that is ultra short and overall a game that is lacking in depth and content.
Infamaous games don`t need GTA like sidemissions, but it needs a meaty main mission campaign with some specifically designed platforming/combat set pieces/structures.
Its still fun to play, because the mechanics are good but in the end inFamous is dangerously coming close to become a very shallow IP that lacks depth and good mission/level design.
Its like Sucker Punch thinks powers, a small open world, some generic combat missions and we are done.
They delivered with the engine and produced a great looking game, but on the gameplay front they made several steps backwards and left me disappointed.

The 30fps lock you mention, if they add it on a patch it MUST be an OPTION not mandatory.
The rest of the things you list for the game would be very welcome.
In my opinion though they MUST add 2 things:
1- Give us the option to hide the HUD of the game.
2- This is a preference of mine but I'd like that the aim pointer wouldn't show except when you are in battle with enemies.
Started it today and this game looks great, I'm so happy so far with the start of this gen. 
Playing as a Hero and I killed one of those drug dealers when he tried to surrender. To keep myself on the good side can I make one of these mistakes every now and then as long it's not often?

Yes, I killed more than a few civilians as a hero and it didn't affect me. Just do a lot of good stuff.
Thanks for answering! Doing good stuff is just my thing.

Some pics I caught the other day. I wish someone could control the second dualshock to press the share button while you play. Fix this shit Guerilla. (I should probably tweet this idea to someone. Can't think of a better way to use the second DualShock on single player games. Set it to capture only. No menu functionality so as to not interrupt your gaming).
Anyway enjoy

I just finished this, it was very enjoyable but i think there are some areas where I preferred the first two.
They handed everything to me on a plate far too early, yes I did feel powerful, but i felt very little achievement for that power. Even with the Initial smoke power getting to the top of a building was far too easy, once I unlocked the neon running traversal boiled down to facing the direction I wanted to go and pressing the run button. It didn't feel engaging enough (especially compared to crackdown, or even coles hopping from wire to wire across the city).
The combat feels very stripped back. Not that streamlining is bad in itself, but the wealth of Coles moves in 1+2 outshines the all too vaguely similar powers in this. I missed things like polarity shield, tagging enemies for homing missiles when your shot had missed, and reflecting rockets back at the enemies. Not that I didn't enjoy combat in this it just felt very shallow and unrewarding by comparison.
Are there some half finished moves in this too? with the neon powers if you press run and melee together Delsin does a clap motion and a shield like effect shoots out in front of him. if you do ti near enemies normal melee overrides it and i can only seem to use it on civilians. Is it explained somewhere?
I don't want to be too negative, the game is fun and the mechanics are good and just kind of wish more of the complexity carried over.

I have to say I didn't enjoy the evil ending at all. But wrecking the city is a lot of fun. Also those nice touches when you play good (blue) and evil (red). Not only power colours change but also also clothes, graffiti, etc.
The last power felt a bit rushed, surely like all the other powers it should be drained from any resource of it around the city? why the arbitrary limitation?

Every dead DUP agent is a resource

I agree.
Or even let us just drain it from the structures that it was used to build. That way we can't just drain it from everywhere, but from key locations that are still located in most of the city.
why are you draining concrete from a soldier, you aren't likely to be more than a few meters from concrete in that city. why is it different to the other powers?

How do I clear the DUP construct here?
I see the blue thing that you're supposed to smash is in the middle of that circular thing in the picture, but I don't know how to get it out.
EDIT: Never mind, I figured it out literally right after posting, you have to shoot the blue things surrounding it that are guarded by yellow panels.

just beat the game with the paragon ending. now i'm just tediously cleaning out the districts of the dup before i do a bad guy run of the game.
when i start the game over, do i keep all my points put into abilities or does it wipe the slate clean? i don't even want to bother getting everything maxed before the new run if it doesn't even stay in effect.
great game though, wish it was longer.

Totally agree with this regarding the depth of the combat system vs this one. You reminded me of things in infamlous 1&2 i totally forgot about! Miss reflecting missles back at the enemies and the tagging. The new system is more about switch between the powers and taking advantage of their different strengths. Its just not that seemless to me to do it in the heat of battle. I just stick to one power at a time, and unfortunately there's on like 3-4 moves per power.
So how is it that some are able to do Paper Trail Part 2, while others can't?
When I go to Part 2, it says to check my profile. I log in, but there isn't anything beyond the murder pictures of "Crime Scene Photos Body #3: Jonas Petrovich". I don't see anything else I can do online, and the game won't let me progress farther with this mission.
