Stylised graphic cut scenes and epic boss battles which help bring Coles story to life.InFamous: Second Son started with a bang. Kessler is also the only boss in inFamous to actually beCole MacGrath makes his electrifying return in inFAMOUS 2. Kessler shows no signs of weakening at any point in the battle. This is based on the fact that with the other bosses, you can tell how much damage you have done to them over the course of the battles. Kessler is the only boss in inFamous with a health meter.
A great game, moving the dynamics of this franchise along quite nicely, the first half of Second Son was everything I'd been craving since completing Infamous 2 in one night. As Cole interacts with the world and makes good/evil choices, his Karma is tallied up on the meter, and depends on what act he. A meter containing six sections (three for good, three for evil) acts as Coles basis on what Karmic level hes on in inFAMOUS. The Karma Meter in Infamous: Second Son, at Protector rank.
Either I played this game very quickly, or it was a lot shorter than 2. I beat it once.It isn't a good sign when the credits roll and I'm left holding the controller like 'wut'. The only reason why it gets an 8 was because the final boss was a pain to beat. The mix was right, the gameplay was good.The story was fun, graphics, voicing and gameplay were a blast.
He wore his heart on his sleeve, and his anger at Augustine during the final boss fight became my own. His child-like glee at discovering new powers was infectious, and his wanting to become a hero very appropriate for the character. There also seemed to be less missions, and it got repetitive very quickly.Delsin Rowe. But the others, who I guess I mentally catagorized as the new Ko and Nix, didn't hold the same amount of authority as Infamous' previous secondary characters. Reggie was the only one who got a good chunk of screen time - he became Delsin's Zeke. But whilst Eugene, Fetch and Reggie are characters, we saw Eugene twice and Fetch about three times.

My favourite cutscenes were the beginning with Betty and the Akomish, and I honestly don't know how I'm going to be the bad guy and sacrifice them when I play the Bad Karma storyline!The world-building, as usual. He was a big tough guy on the outside, but the love for his tribe, Betty and Reggie was just below the surface, and it didn't take much to bring it out. As Delsin seems to be a bit younger than Cole, his emotions were raw and easy to read. The amount of emotion that can be conveyed with a quirk of the mouth or drawing of the eyebrows.
Smoke, Neon, Video and Conrete - how much more grunge could we get? I was honestly expecting paint to be one, due to Delsin's love of tagging everything. More exploring required.The different powers available. Those and a billboard for Empire City! See the latest stage sensation! are the only ones I've found. I was highly amused by Cole McG's Electronics, and inPHOmous, a Vietnames restaurant in the Lantern District.
But it wasn't until Concrete that I felt like Smoke had a real contender for fave power. Firing neon bursts at the enemy vehicles felt akin to swatting at a tree with a feather, Video wings were awesome and the sword bombs were fantastic. Neon, unfortunately, was fairly useless but was eeevvverrywhere. Smoke, as the primary power, remained my favourite throughout the game, but it was fun to flit between them and play with combos.
Again, this could be my skewed perspective because I played too fast, but neither of the previous Infamous games have made me feel like this before.Some boss fights and chase scenes. The game felt like it had been rushed across the halfway point. I'm not sure when it started declining, but at point I just stood on top of a building and muttered to myself 'where's the rest of ya?' hence the title of this review. This game was fast tracking towards a five star rating. The first half of the game is top notch - the cutscenes, storyline, setting, everything. I just couldn't help but catalogue this as I played.
Fetch's chase scene - too long. And when it was over, we saw the kid a grand total of three times. I didn't struggle with the mechanics, but still found myself falling into lava and sighing as I struggled back up onto a platform. I got bored hopping from pillar to pillar, waiting for the Smoke and Neon piles to respawn so that I could fire twice at him.
Infamous 2 Final Boss Free To Enlighten
While I bounced around New Marais quite happily, it feels like a pain to go around Seattle doing the same three types of missions over and over again. They've never felt this tedious before. I love the lack of fall damage in this game! Please feel free to enlighten me if it's possible to do this.The repetitive districts. Maybe I'm just an idiot and can't find the way up, but I wanted to climb and jump off. Hank's chase scene - too long.Not being able to reclimb the Space Needle.
It was nice to have a small couch, TV and Zeke to return to in the last games. I'm yet to complete the Audio Files in all fairness, but there's not the same hilarity in finding them as there was in shooting down pigeons and hearing the 'flump' of them smacking into the concrete.The lack of a home space. Tagging walls was my favourite, the different artworks were very well done. Hidden cameras were a mild entertainment for about ten seconds.
Infamous 2 Final Boss Upgrade Resolves This
Jarring series of quick-edit cutscenes in the final hours showcasing your moral decisions don't create an organic feeling story - character decisions do not feel at all believable, and the tension is broken constantly.While Delsin's abilities are kind of fun when you're fighting a group of earlier mobs, the enemies continue to be so obnoxious that encounters are more about "how quickly can I get out of this situation" than they are about "what's the right set of powers to fight this type of enemy." No level of upgrade resolves this issue - literally, the upgrades are all based on how much energy and ammo you can store and how mobile your character is, and the only stat and power increases aren't unlocked until after you beat the game.The open world collecting was decent at first but it was definitely a chore by the end - especially because they don't mix up the objectives at all, and there's at best only minor and entirely unnecessary mechanical payoffs for doing them.This game has some cool ideas but fails to use them meaningfully- you don't even get to switch powers during the final sequence of the game, even though that's the core idea.I received this game free for PS+, and it was played on Normal Difficulty from beginning to end, on the "good" path. I really hope you feature in the next game (which I will be preordering the second it comes out, because this franchise will always have a fan in me).Not much payoff for this one. But I got bored very quickly, and this is something hasn't happened with the last two. It was nice to switch it on every night after work and hammer away at a few districts.
Government vehicles show up and the cold hard bitch in charge attacks your entire town with her own concrete powers after she believes you won't give up the information she wants. 0After being scolded by your Sheriff brother, a transport vehicle of bio-terrorists (also known as conduits, people capable of channeling different mediums as a power) crashes and they escape! After making contact you gain the power of one of these bio-terrorists. There are much better options out there at this point, though.
