Playing some inFamous off the hard drive the past few days has me in the mood to finally play 2. Absolutely. Better than the first game in every way. Just do not bother with the User Created Content or whatever it is called. But definitely a really damn good game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shakey Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Still loving just rampaging through the world in this game. I play it every so often still, but Deus Ex and some other games have been taking my attention. Compared to the first in progress time.... About the same, but you will most likely finish the 2nd one faster, due to it being either more forgiving or just easier in terms of "not dieing". But the 2nd one has more wow moments for sure. Bigger badder boss fights, and the story gets really twisted at the end. Though the first was a great story as well, the 2nd one just fits nicely. First one took me roughly 12 hours of playing. Second one took roughly 10. But I died a whole lot more in the first one, making me re-run certain sections over and over. On that... there will be a 3rd for sure, the ending even gives you a hint of it. But I really can't see any improvements that would need to be made to this game, besides AI tweaks. Other than that, Cole's powers and handling of them were just perfect for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LingeringSoul Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Absolutely. Better than the first game in every way. Just do not bother with the User Created Content or whatever it is called. But definitely a really damn good game. Agreed. One of my favorite games of the year for sure, and it really does improve upon the original in almost every way. The story was much more fun this time around, and I like the changes they made to Cole's character (i.e. he's not nearly as grouchy this time around). As for completion time, I think I clocked in somewhere around 12-15 hours. Can't wait for the Festival of Blood DLC :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just do not bother with the User Created Content or whatever it is called. But definitely a really damn good game. I would agree on everything but the story, inFamous 2 spent far too much time around on who I would consider to be the minor bad guy that in the grand scheme of things wasn't that interesting and they didn't do a lot with, and then didn't spend a lot of time on the main bad guy. That was the only thing that disappointed me in what was very much an all round better experience than the first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyLarry Veteran Posted September 2, 2011 Veteran Share Posted September 2, 2011 Awesome (Y) How long did it take you to finish it? Similar to inFamous? Probably like 16-20 hours if I had to guess. What helped was I had just gotten my 2nd ps3, so was able to play a few hours at night. I did get all the drop boxes and did most if not all of the side missions, so spent a few extra hours doing that stuff. I would agree on everything but the story, inFamous 2 spent far too much time around on who I would consider to be the minor bad guy that in the grand scheme of things wasn't that interesting and they didn't do a lot with, and then didn't spend a lot of time on the main bad guy. That was the only thing that disappointed me in what was very much an all round better experience than the first. Yeah the story probably does suck, I did not pay attention all that much. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The story was pretty flimsy in inFamous 2 for sure ( I'm still not entirely sure how or why John became The Beast ), but it just seemed a little more... fun in this game (for lack of a better word). It seemed to take itself a little less seriously, which is always nice. Uninteresting storylines are par for the course when it comes to video games, so I can forgive that :).

It seemed to take itself a little less seriously, which is always nice. Uninteresting storylines are par for the course when it comes to video games, so I can forgive that :). The best was created by you, when you killed John. He was a conduit as well, so when the explosion went off, it revived him, and he was reborn as The Beast. He then goes on a rampage due to just his instincts going crazy as he is being reborn/formed. I actually liked this story. There was the main story, the best. Then the side story, they ******* trying to take over the city. It kept you sort of in a rushed mode. It seemed to help push you to keep playing. You think, " The beast isn't that far away... but I'm still so ****ed by this one guy... how is this going to pan out!? ". While the 2nd story had some cheesy moments, it helped reinforce the pressure upon you I think. My question is, Where will the 3rd one start? Both endings are very different. Would they just ignore you finishing bad and go off of the good ending of being brought back to life on the boat? Or will they go off of the evil ending, where you are the beast and it is really just conduits running around... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D. S. Veteran Posted January 18, 2012 Veteran Share Posted January 18, 2012 I think the cannon ending for both inFamous and inFamous 2 is the evil ending as hinted by the game title itself and the fact that playing as inFamous is always incentivized.
