That's his remaining time until the First Sons can track his position,

it cant be he was saying how long he was talking for not counting down

Spoiler

You did notice that the number kept going down all the time right? He was telling Cole how much time there was left before he would hang up because after that the line would be compromised.

 

[Inanna]

Ah well, I got the trophy for good powers. Dsable turrets at the hospital, sticky mad bomber, heal a few people on your way to committing suicide jump in the water, start over again. Lol, took a while but I got it.

 

[Thrakier]

Man, I'm missing one side mission for the 2nd island, far right corner. I ran around and zapped enemies but no one was giving me a mission. Is this a bug?

Person that gives the mission may have moved or be dead. Just jump in the water or reset the system.

[blindrocket]

I cannot wait for the sequel.

Spoiler

We got a taste of future powers Cole will have; time travel anyone? We also know about the villain in the future, and even hints at the location. It looks like even more post-apocalyptic city setting with volcanoes! I for one am glad Zeke lived, and I think that perhaps we haven't seen the last of John.

349/350 shards... BAH!

Last night I plugged my PS3 into my computer monitor and opened up the shard map on my secondary monitor right next to me. I ran through the entire world and literally marked off the points on the map with Photoshop while I was doing it. It seemed to work perfectly and I collected over 70 shards but now the map is completely marked finish and I'm still missing one.

I double checked the area around Alden's Tower, the prison, the ship yard base, the cranes, the super tall building at ground zero, rode completely around The Warren and Historic District on the train tracks pinging the entire way. I can't figure out which one I missed and it's bugging me to hell. I assume I got confused and marked off one that I didn't see on the ping and thought I already collected but it's just one missing! I guess I'll take one of the other maps and overlay it, see if there's some inconsistencies because I did find one that wasn't even marked on the map :-/

Did you climb the huge skyscraper near the blast site? That was the one I was missing, and doesn't show up with L3.

WTF? It's like that for the last past play hours. I already finished the game now. Does that mean I can't finish the islands? I'm also missing two areas for the last island.

 

[NameGenerated]

Just finished it. The story throughout was ok but the ending was pretty fucking awesome. Gimme dat sequel! 17/21 stunts done, 331/350 shards, I wasn't really going for the completion on that.

 

[Thrakier]

Nevermind, got the trophys now. For some reason I can't do "High Fall" Stunts anymore. I just don't get it, only normal take downs. Is there any trick to that?

 

[Totobeni]

2nd playthrough , HOLY SHIT @ red evil Cole , he is pure awesome Jackass , going to my hot

Spoiler

Sasha

right now .

I understand sucker punch decision on the fresh start now , I don't think my second play through will be this fun if I have all my powers .

 

[Dante]

I need advice too! I've got every updrade for good powers except for megawatt hammer, i need 5500 for it, I'm at 3800 right now, completed the game 100%, all territories taken. So there are rarely any enemies around. Any tips??? I need the trophy, been healing civilians but I rarely encounter them. HELP!!!!

Man, I am at 5,000 Xp and I need 12,000 for the last power upgrade on evil, after that I will have the platinum. Luckily I saved a few side missions I can keep spamming for some xp kills gonna take awhile though :/

FINALLY got my first platinum

 

[Houston3000]

Yeah, that's what I mean by the huge building at ground zero, the one that's leaning over. I actually climbed that almost immediately after finding it because it was so big and cool looking, IIRC I got two or three off that building (at least one was on the side as well... or maybe it was a Dead Drop) but I double checked it anyways and it's not there.

 

[McLovin]

I'm missing one shard and I spammed L3 through every inch of that city. So frustrating... I'm going to sleep

 

[Houston3000]

FOUND IT - 350/350 Shards!

Damn map didn't have it on there, if anyone gets stuck here it is - it does show up when you ping and pretty obvious location but that one little random one had me for a couple of hours :lol

Awesome, but one question...What the hell is the IGN "debacle" some people are commenting on on the site?

 

[Dante]

inFamous, Uncharted, and Little Big Planet.

My three Platinum's

I am so happy right now.

 

[Gouty]

Overall I felt the story was decent for a videogame (ie terrible for any other medium) but what I thought was done incredibly well was Cole’s relationship with Zeke. I thought it was unique, well acted and incredibly convincing.

Spoiler

Zeke wanted to have what Cole had so badly, you could taste it. And then the regret that followed. It really made me feel like he was a real person racked with guilt.

 

[Ashour]

inFamous, Uncharted, and Little Big Planet.

Wow @ anyone who gets LBP platinum I can never get the Ace all levels trophy. I also have 3 platinums but not for the games you mentioned Uncharted crushing is a bitch and I'm still working my way for Infamous (2 stunts I can't get)

 

[Cruzader]

I finally beat the game as Evil. I was a little disappointed in the ending but wateves. Now I just need to buy all the Evil upgrades to get the trophy and I cant get the damn "Bad riots" trophy. I shoot from within the crowd and I get good Karma?

 

[Unknown One]

Try shooting the crowd.

 

[McBacon]

Awesome, but one question...What the hell is the IGN "debacle" some people are commenting on on the site?

They gave it a 9.2. 360 Fanboys went fucking ape shit. Probably.

 

[Majmun]

Can't I collect all shards by being a good guy?

I just had the option to fry a guy for his shards, or just accept one as a thanks for helping him out. So I accepted his shard and left the other ones in his locker.

I think I'm going to collect shards on my second playthough when I'm going the infamous route.

Is it easier/better to collect shards when I'm being evil?

Those shards don't count towards the 350. You can collect all the shards on one playthrough.

 

[Majmun]

Ok, thanks! I totally ignored the shards after that mission.

I just entered the 3rd island. The 2nd island still has a lot of shards left to collect. Going to collect those after I can get back to the 2nd island.

 

[Cruzader]

Try shooting the crowd.

Oh thanx. I thought it said "if I shoot the guards w/in the crowd, Ill start a riot" {not involving cole}

Will try it later also what do you guys think of the following:

Spoiler

What if John was teleported to the future and becomes the "red beast"?

Damn this game's ending is full of possibilities.

Congrats! Its funny, I found my last shard (after two plus hours of searching each district) two building to the left of your last shard.

 

[XonoX]

I just completed my second playthrough as a badass but i have a problem.

I have done all the side and main missions, but i'm still 6000XP short of getting the Negative Karma trophy - its the last one i need for Platinum.

So once there are no more missions and almost no enemies left in any of the islands, how will i make up 6000XP ?

 

[No45]

Slowly.

I'm going to have this problem as well I think. Not sure whether or not to abuse one of the missions on the way.

That's the mission where you storm the quarantine, right? All I did was fire a shot from within the crowd and then kill everything that moved - cops, civilians... the lot!

 

[McBacon]

now on mission 37 and i really really can't be bothered to finish it off, all this island hopping .

not to mention that

Spoiler

the balloon mission is the most infuriating ever, the number of times the balloons are nowhere near a building tall enough to jump from to get on the balloon is ridiculous!

u mad.

Thats the best mission in the game.

 

[Thrakier]

Is the game much different on evil playthrough? Do the cutscenes differ?

Enemies randomly pop up from time to time. Its still going to be tough (lots of grinding). I know in The Warren, near the docks. The giant conduit (giant garbage golem) respawns quite a bit, you can spam xp there, but its going to take a while. The Reapers also show up in the Neon.

Indeed. All missions involving some kind of

Spoiler

flying stuff

were awesome.

 

[No45]

Not hugely different up to where I am (80% through the second island), but the game plays differently enough due to the power upgrades to make it just as enjoyable as first time through for me.

I guess it's better to do the grinding in one of the missions where you have unlimited energy. Die and repeat.

i ran into the same problem but luckily i had a save that was one mission before the last mission so i just used that one the grind XP.

 

[anddo0]

Yeah it is actually. I did that every opportunity I got. I spammed the hell out of "Alden in Chains". The enemies come in a constant stream unless you kill all the garbage golems. The trick to getting lots xp is the "sticky bomb stunt", it gives you huge multipliers.

 

[Inanna]

Any side quests on Warren where you can fight garbage monsters?

Put it on easy, then start healing people and going to some of the spots where enemies respawn despite the area being clear of enemies (there are a few places).

 

[Hari Seldon]

God damn bought this game on Friday and poopsocked with it all weekend! This game totally surprised me at how fun it is! This is like how Ass Creed should have been with all of the variety and fun in the side missions.

 

[TTP]

It actually takes less time if you start a new game. Just focus on main missions, and when you got all powers, do the 15 side missions. Then, simply avoid spending XP on neutral upgrades.

 

[burgerdog]

I'm 12k exp short of maxing out all my powers and only have 3 main/10 side story missions to go. Am I going to have to grind to get that exp before the game is over?

[Mesijs]

The endboss is really kicking me...

Spoiler

now past the first checpoint but don't really have a strategy, just hitting him we he does the bigger attacks...

 

[Cruzader]

Just got my platinum a few mins ago!!

Also how are you guys ending up with no side missions left and 12k short? On my Evil run, i just did main missions, beat the game w/out doing any side missions and only had to buy 2 evil powers left.(total of 16500xp) I had 6000 at the end so i had to grind for 12k at one of the "dark water" missions in Neon district. Its by the center of the city. Its where there a roughly 10 guys on 2 buildings.(5 each) You can ambush one of tye groups from behind with a granade which nets you roughly 100xp and just kill the other group for another 50xp. After you just quit the mission and repeat. Its way better than running around going to the other side missions but listen to a podcast or something since you'll have to do it for a good hour or so.

 

[Lince]

I didn't have to grind to get my platinum, I just entertained my self in one of these "black-out" zones for an hour or so. Enemies just keep coming and you can abuse them while unlocking every stunt, piece of cake (and a lot of fun to play).
