Infamous series Thread - For the Demons of Empire City / Saints of New Marais (oh yeah and the Second Son crowd too)

Played all 3, still haven't finished first light. Can't really remember the story from the first 2 but I loved the atmosphere and the graphics. I recently tried to get back in to Prototype and it was just an aimless slog compared to infamous' characters and moral choices.

Prototype was more about the mystery then moral choices, or the characters aside from alex, and also cool body horror powers. But I feel ya when you say it's a slog.

This thread's making me realize that I never really played InFamous 2 and I don't know why because the first one's one of my favorite games from that generation. I have it and I've started it before, but for some reason I just never got that far into it despite it making a bunch of little improvements to the core gameplay. I really should go back and play it through. I hear the endings are amazing.

They are. When you unlock the secondary powers, they make the game even more fun. My favorite is the ice powers, better for mobility versus the smoke/fire powers, which are more destructive and powerful.

First game was great.

Liked what I played of the second game. Got distracted by some other games, so never finished it. Custom content was interesting.

Imagine if there was a conduit with Cole's powers, and they would replace Augustine as the main villain. His/Her motivation could be that they despise "do gooder" conduits that emulate Cole, and hate Cole in general since he made the choice for all conduits to sacrifice them for "weaker beings". Their whole motivation could be taking revenge on the humans that killed off the "First Sons" of the conduits by enslaving them and having a class of subhumans who don't have powers.

Interactions on a "Hero" run: Obviously you want to carry on Cole's ideas and the thought that you should use your powers for good, protecting the weak from those who wish to do them harm and benefitting society.

Interactions on a "Evil" run: You don't want to kill all humans. You want the same thing that the main villain, but you want the power for yourself. So you fight with them for control over who gets to be the head conduit.

Man, that sounds way more natural of a continuation that stands on its own without trying to one up the original...besides, it feels like it could lift the question if mutants ala X-Men wouldnt perhaps to be too dangerous to exist and humans wouldnt eventually be on the short end of stick. X-Men stories love to say how humans are awful and how mutants are victims but I always felt like they were ignoring legit real world implications if powered mutants actually existed...I guarantee you that we would be getting a lot of Magnetos and very few Professor Xs.
Second Son already feels like a standard X-men story instead of the unique directions Infamous 1 and 2 took so that setup would most likely keep up with going to places the X-Men never had to guts to go.

Yeah, deffo, bruh. It sucks the ps3 I have is broken & Sony don't seem to want to make the series available upscaled on the ps4. I'd love to replay it. I recently went back to Dead Space after being stuck 1 area for 10 years and put it on easy and once I passed it
I don't have any shame any more about difficulty settings. As long as I finish a game, I don't care.

The game is on Now (the whole series is outside of First Light), but allegedly it's bugged in a way that prevents you from choosing Kuo when you decide what secondary powers you want. So take that for what it's worth.

Didn't know that, I never really used Now. I might consider it. thanks for that.

I'd much rather buy the games outright but it looks fairly cheap for 1 month. However I fear the slippery slope of just renting games instead of owning them.
