Well, it made me laugh, or something. That Crackdown comparison means it has to be a joke, so I guess that's a success.
Actually, reading more... the game is about mashing the R1 button? Not only does it make the want for guns seem ridiculous, but it makes me wonder how much of the game the dude played.

Oh, and people who refer to climbing and jumping as "the parkour" (or the even more popular "parkouring") should have their faces cut to shreds and be fed to pigs.

How many points did they take off because FFXIII is on Xbox360?

No idea, I couldn't bring myself to read through the whole thing, and that "the parkour" thing really threw me off. If three out of three people at a site can give a game like Infamous 6-6.5 and have the negative text to go along with the scores, then I just can't relate to the site at all. To each their own, but damn.
That might be your method of playing but its not true at all.
So many things wrong here, his powers are no where near weak if you know how to use them.Cole melee are not all that powerful even when fully upgraded.
Use your damn long distance attacks than, either the rocket of the sniping ability.Also How would guns help you again?
Wait what this makes no sense!Thats a very powerful shotgun that can push cars.The power is called the Megawatt Hammer not the lighting bomb.

Don't quote it, or I'll feel obligated to argue about it. Overdone cover mechanic, what in the hell? Only effective combat method? Morons.

djblackice said:
I think what Destructoid was expecting is a Shazam / Superman type game and instead they got a mere normal guy with super powers. Feels like that totally clouded their review as every positive from other reviewers turned into negatives.
But this is a good thing to bring up, don't expect to be able to go high jump across buildings and bouncing bullets off your chest in this game because it doesn't happen. Although you can glide on wires across buildings and float around without suffering much damage
power upgrade for wire gliding lets you heal while gliding, so you're basically invincible

Woo-hoo. Add me to the Platinum club. Rockhound was the hardest, but Casey Jones gave me a big ol' headache. After both hard playthroughs, I just rolled through the good endgame. Felt like a badass sticky-bombing and megawatting everything. It's such a cool feeling staring down those huge trash conduits and not having to flee like in the mid-game.
The place to get the Casey Jones trophy is at the Neon district,always use grenades to take down the 3 or 4 guys near that building where you
Also there are to guys on a roof that will keep coming back as well as the other 3 so that's 5 changes right there.For those 2 use the sniping ability.

I did it in Warren by spamming the one dude at the end of the pier (with the large cranes) who *always* respawns and is a pretty easy target for hammer + precision. I was starting to worry since it was my second playthrough and I couldn't believe I hadn't killed 25 naturally in the El Train missions... Great relief to see the trophy notification and hear that ping.
Story thoughts:
Anyone else think John is a potential future villain? He appears to disintegrate, but the raysphere goes with him and the dead drops say he has latent telepathic abilities. I wondered if that was a potential origin moment--like the Batman creating the Joker in the first Keaton movie. I also love it that Alden escapes and Sasha is "drained" but probably alive at story's end. Those "loose ends" plus the fallout with Zeke and the coming "Beast" make good fodder for the sequel.
Forget Sly 4, bring on InFAMOUS 2.

Wow... Okay I tried to play as good but I screwed up that controversial mission by picking the evil path.
Man... What an awesome game. Sucker Punch has really shown that are the same rank as Insomniac and Naughty Dog in game design.

He should be fine in non-grounded water sources since the electricity has no-where to go.
He can wash himself.

I've probably used the cover mechanic TWICE during the whole game.
What I don't really understand is how one can say inFamous missions are repetitive. I've never seen so much mission variety is this kind of games (Crackdown, Just Cause, Assassin's Creed etc). Perhaps I'm missing a milestone game.
CreativeWriter said:
I think John is The Beast. Zeke would be an obvious choice, but he already activated the Sphere and nothing happened. Of course, it's also quite possible that The Beast is a character we haven't met yet, but was created as a side-effect of Cole's actions. Like The Joker in Batman Begins, to continue on your analogy. I definatly hope for the return of Alden and Sasha, both in more powerful forms. I also hope, please let this be true, that the sequel carries on where you left off at part 1: same powers, same upgrades, same karma.

Yeah, you really only need it in the sewers and when you first make it to Warren and are underpowered. It's usually a last ditch, save-my-arse maneuver. And I'd go hours forgetting about my

LOL at destrcutoid. This guy shouldn't be allowed to write any more reviews. If he prefers guns and thinks that Cole isn't powerul he didn't a) play the game or b) doesn't like games. It's that easy. Since I completed this game I'm itching to play it again - but I have other games to finish first. Just thinking about it makes me wanna play it.

OMG I was missing one shard so I just start the game, pretty depressed to go all over each square meter again, but once I spawn at the eastern clinic in the Warren, the shard was just here. It took me 10 seconds to get my last shard. :lol I still can't believe it. Need to fully upgrade my evil power to get my fourth Plat now.

Cole can take 1-3 second baths. Hop in a pool and risk death to get clean and hop out fast like the sewers.

It may be that the citizens are talking about the city in general, but there are a hell of a lot of comments made about the stank whenever Cole is around. I am pretty sure that they are talking about him.

I played a bit of it so far and didn't like the game that much either. It feels more like a platformer than anything else and the animation is horrible.

Aren't you that guy that stomps into every prototype-thread, explaining how bad this game seems to be from two or three reviews that didn't like it, without ever touching it yourself?

I'm not trying to rebuke Destructoid's review, but to use it as a jumping off point:
the mission variety in Infamous was probably my favourite thing about the game. outside of the side-missions, which understandably repeated themselves, and were totally optional, the mission variety was fantastic.

So true. There are other things I don't agree on. Sticking to everything is a great gameplay mechanic that SOMETIMES leads to something you don't want. In 95% of the time it works brilliant and makes you feel like a badass, pulling off great moves and stunt without even thinking about it. Also the whole "you don't feel like a super hero" shit - I don't get it at all. Just because you can't fly or because you are not invincible? What makes a guy a superhero? I think throwing cars in the air, letting rain bombs over you enemies, glide on powercables or summon a lightning storm...yeah, sounds like a superhero to me.
Even if you don't like that game for some reason, if you look at it objective it's by NO MEANS AND NEVER a 6 or 6.5. In relation to other games and the whole review scala thing it should be at least an 8. And it's up to your personal taste if it's a 9 or a 10.
