Looks like tearaway.
Having to climb the final tower multiple times for different achievements showed me that it was just fun the one time as a set piece type deal, after that I would much rather run up the side of the building because this is a superhero game, traversal should be "auto-win" Super Man isn't bitching about his climbing ability, he can fly.
FTFY

Is anyone else having trouble with their touchpad in this game? Every other time I play the game I can't interact with some elements in the game (often mission critical things) makes trying to play the game a bit of a pain in the ass.
nope, seems pretty much perfect spot on. what's happening on your side?
Evil Delsin would probably murder a baby in front of its dying mother.
Doesn't look anything like the Master Sword. looks like a generic fantasy sword.
Anyway, has anyone been able to do part 2 of paper trail? I thought it was going to be weekly.

Nothing. Sometimes it's fine and others it just won't register any input. Can't tell if it's a hardware issue or a bug.
Very, very evil. I would provide examples, but the most evil stuff involves major plot points.

Just downloaded a new update hoping it would resolve the stuttering. Nope, it's just as bad. 
. Can someone please see if they notice the stuttering, texture pop-in in the videos I took? I know it's shitty Facebook, but it gives me an HD option on my phone.

There's definitely a bit of stuttering in the first one, and pop-in of things like trees and trashcans mid way through the second.

I would agree with this, as I too am finding them annoying to do. But I will say on the whole its a pretty good game. Its pretty as all hell and fun to play. With the new gen content being so sparse this game really fills the void well. Part of me wishes it had made launch... but then I wonder what the hell we would be playing right now. Gotta love the beginning of a new gen

Does this happen to you? I would be calling Sony right now if I knew it was only happening to a few of us, but I can't rule out that some people just don't see it.

Lifeless game worlds and poor missions aren't unfun? "Unfun" means "bad" here. Even though fun is subjective, I don't think anyone will refer to "poor missions" as being fun.
It's not clear what you're trying to argue. If you're critiquing reviewers, you're not referring to any specific reviewers; it's unreasonable to lump them all together if you're trying to say they're hypocritical. If you're trying to say these issues aren't detrimental to the game, you're haven't presented any argument to support that. You keep bringing up other games, but mentioning that GTA has similar problems doesn't say anything about the inFamous series or Second Son.
Just got the evil ending, very dark indeed but loved playing evil and just not giving a fuck for once.
Augustine and Eugine are amongst the best boss fights in the franchise, certainly better than i2 bosses by a long shot. And I actually like rock powers lol, was criticizing it to hell when I heard about it in the spoiler thread by now getting to play it I really found it satisfying. Only problem is that when you upgrade the dash run to unlimited I wish running into cars wouldn't cause it to stop.
Stuttering doesn't happen to me that much, but definitely does some times. I notice it particularly when I jump during the neon light speed. I also get some pop-in too, but I'm usually to busy playing to notice. The stuttering only looks like 1 or 2 frames being skipped and isn't that noticeable. I would guess that most people can't see it, because it only is like one frame.
Are you European and only bought the regular edition? In Europe, it only comes with the collector's edition, while in America it was a preorder bonus.
Yeah, the side missions were super repetitive. They needed to focus on the characters and actually making use of the world. Big missed opportunity.

After being the game are you ever able to access the night time again? I love using neon during night but didn't create a save state during the specific missions
Tracking number? I'll give you a hint but you have to be more specific.

I was wrong, ignore
well i've looked at all the stuff from part 1. it looks like i have to input some number to track something
Oh, are you talking very first part and entering the number into your cell phone?
Small Hint:
Look through the guy's wallet, anything you see that looks interesting, you should investigate
Bigger Hint:
That business card is interesting for the fact that it gives you a website to go to

Just beat the game and really loved it. You can criticize it as much as you want for structural reasons (side missions, repetition) but I think they really nailed the action part. Traversal is amazingly fun, and the scale is incredible especially once the action starts to happen a little bit more on top of buildings and in the air.
I enjoyed the boss fights. I think the last boss fight is one of the most impressive things I've ever seen in a game (with a great framerate to boot). To me it was a real next gen Metroid Prime sort of boss.
I loved Augustine as a character, from the beginning you sense that kind of motherly attitude just from the great facial animations.
Good job Sucker Punch, if hope can make a sequel with better open world activities, add stuff like throwing objects, and a little more variety in the environments.

Hmm I beat it while evil and it's day for me.
It's always noon after you beat the game. Whoever made up the rumor that beating it as evil made it night afterwards was an ass.
Nope, it's sundown-ish (red sky) for evil. And sunny/clear (blue sky) for good.
Disappointing, I wish they would let you choose.

All we have is SP on twitter saying they'll suggest it (rotating TOD) to the team. Maybe a patch down the line.
I fucking *hated* the
Eugene boss battle. It was cool for five seconds and then quickly became tiresome as fuck
That would be amazing. The game is freaking beautiful at night and when it's stormy. Would be great to play it like that.
Duly noted.
thanks!

It's just longer than it should be. The remedy was either to give him less of a health pool or to add some new mechanics during the fight. As it stood, the one mechanic they did add
angels shielding him
It must be difficult for you to find any game fun with this attitude. All games have some crappy missions and other flaws that are detrimental to the game. To most people, that doesn't mean the whole of the game is not fun. Infamous games have sold well, so obviously quite a number of people disagree with you and find the game fun.
One more time, so you can understand: I am questioning the inconsistency of reviewers, where issues in one game are overlooked on the score and the same issues in another game are specifically mentioned to bring down the score. I brought up GTA IV which should be obvious if you were paying attention last generation. The 10s this game received despite its issues was astounding. Infamous and Killzone, in particular, seem to be treated more harshly by reviewers. This is almost fact. You want a game site that does this? Okay, Polygon.
From what I have played of Infamous, it has issues, but not enough to warrant a 7. Arguing for more consistency in reviews doesn't mean I'm ignoring Infamous' issues.

Ok, I just unlocked
That is.... INSANE!! Loved it!! Imho it is the best of them three (still did not saw the next one however, if there is any). I see people here enoying a lot the Neon Power, its indeed very nice, but sometimes I still prefer smoke then neon. But the
,... damn! That is a game changer! To an awesome game, to an even more awesome! lol
. Am playing as a Hero in maximum difficulty, and defeat the enemies is now a lot more easier. Also, I did like the Neon Run, but the
the Video power!!
Video one
That power is pure destruction! Targeting missiles, invisibility and a god damn fast shooter!!
wings are really fast, and are better to avoid obstacles in the way.

The first time I played the game I played evil and liked the third power the most. The second time I played the game I played good and liked neon the most.

Neon is better to single targeting, so you can avoid hurting civilians, thats indeed good for hero playthrough. But loved to play with the 3rd one, I believe I will rarely change to neon or smoke from now on. lol
