Not sure if this was already posted but the PCM audio of this game is extremely low, I have to turn my receiver to -11.5db with ONLY this game to get a soundtrack out of it that I'd get out of my other games. Even after switching the audio from TV Speakers to Home Theater, it's still an issue.

Yea, I had to raise the volume on my receiver higher than normal for this game as well.
I just got my PS4 last week and this is the first game I bought for it. I haven't commented much because it's been a busy week and because this is one of those games that I'd rather play than talk about. It looks incredible and it is just plain fun to play.
I play it, it feels good to play, I have fun and grin a lot, and then I want to play more. If that's not the hallmark of a great game then I don't know what is.

I was thinking it would be a bit more fun that way. Good, I feel I have to be so careful for example shooting people in the legs with neon. I just want to blast people in the head. But it is pretty cool having girls fall in love by my mere presence.
Ahh yes, the Nier approach. If you want a happy ending, eject the disk and snap it in half because its all just a downhill slide of awful events.

Yea you have to walk on egg shells as the hero everything could be bad karma and mess you up.
Evil Playthrough I just do w/e I want on top of building comet down hit civs or blow up everything not worrying about if your meter goes down.
Nope, I did the same thing. And yeah, I was disappointed too.
That's pretty much the inFamous formula but I do like some Good side powers a bit more than Evil. But yea, anyone going with playing for the Expert trophy should just go Evil to avoid worrying about collateral damage.

I still say smoke is my favourite power.
I feel like a new game plus where you could mix and match powers would be pretty sweet

Countless karmic streaks ruined by accidently shooting someone in the midsection or executing someone before I knew they were surrendering. I enjoyed the game but I can't wait to go back through on Evil. I get the feeling it will be so much better.
I do understand why you don't get concrete until the game is over because that power is OP as hell in combat situations even without a karma bomb.

This game is so much harder on evil. Neon is borderline useless without slo mo, and without the ability to recover health from kills you have to run away from the action a lot more. Also it's waaaaaay harder to build up a karmic streak on evil because of the timer. On good it's super easy to build up your streak taking as much time as you like. You're not going to mess up a streak on good unless you do something stupid. Way harder to get that streak on evil.

God I hate the third power. On a good play through at least. The second power is better in every possible way. From offense (and karma bomb building) to traversal to its karma bomb.
It should have been the second power so it got better as you went along.

I felt that way at first but the third power grew on me. Also there's no doubt that traversal is better with the third power.

You could say the same thing about Neon to be honest. Slow mo, shoot legs, repeat, karma bomb.
They're the gang members on the second island.

On my evil play through, I did all good karma side missions enough times to get the trophies and still had full evil karma by the time I climbed final tower

Not sure why I didn't get the "kill 10 Akura" achievement, I wiped everyone out
Maybe didn't kill enough. They're counted as a group, not individually.

Can't agree with that.
endless run automatically makes it much, much better. Video is quicker but you can only upgrade it to do it twice. Getstuck in between two building too far away and you're dropping all the way to the ground to get it back again
Nope, you're spot on. The only way to climb it outside of the mission it's involved in is to use an unintentional power exploit, and even then, it's not meant to be stood on.
You have to kill all of the reinforcements that show up after you take one out to get credit. It's 10 groups, not 10 individuals.
It's impossible. SP got the agreement to use the Space Needle only if it was impossible to jump from the top. :-\

It's actually annoying that you can't because it's the only invisible wall in the game and it makes no sense.
Edit: ahh, not allowed to jump off it. That does make sense then if it's an agreement. They could have handled it better though.
Got my plat! First one on PS4.
I expect to get my first soon too in this game. I usually ignore the trophies but this platinum is more straight forward to get and the game is just so fun to tool around with.

When did this happen in the game? I remember any gang group names in the game being mentioned
They're the hammer and sickle icons on the map.
then you upgrade the ability to float longer.
The 3rd power has the best traversal skill. Neon is still the best looking.

Lol, I thought those were protest symbols so I always ignored them, thanks
Yeah, what worked best for me seemed to be getting my super power fully maxed then shooting them with neon so they would be obliterated. It's also really cool because there's a civilian chain reaction of obliteration to those unfortunate enough to be close by. He he he.
That's pretty interesting. I was more looking forward to the view. Thanks
That's a weird stipulation.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Finally got a chance to play this game now. Visuals are absolutely insane, cutscenes are such a huge leap up from previous titles too. Just all round wow factor.
I find myself barely progressing in the game because I'm just gawking at shit. Reflecting the low sun off of puddles, looking at floor textures. New-gen feels good, mang. Feels real good.

I don't know if anyone wants to make a new thread for this but Sucker Punch's Lead Engine Programmer just released an 80-slide PDF of their "inFAMOUS Second Son Engine Postmortem" talk. Very tech-heavy but interesting.

first time i play an inFamous game, really enjoying it. only thing funky is how you get stuck on the geometry sometimes but the Smoke Dash move usually gets you out.
It depends on the light sources. Most cast shadows but some are just way too common to make shadowing dynamic from them.
Climbing buildings is where it always killed the immersion for me. You would see everything except deslin
Friday afternoons, I believe.
