Given how many non-canon comic one offs there are, I was hoping Sony would pump out a poo poo ton of DLC for silly mini-sodes of inFamous. I figure it would be an easy money maker.

First Light is so good. I mean, even the little filler event things scattered around the world are all entertaining. As are the challenges. Hell, even the races were super fun.

Did anyone else run into an error with the preorder costume? It said it couldn't download on the dl screen and gave an error, but it says I have one addon and it is installed if I go into the First Light section. Am I correct in assuming you select the DUP costume when you choose to enter an arena? edit: I didnt see this online last night but I'm going to try this when I get home: Go to settings>psn>restore licenses After it restores licences go to the game and enter the battle arenas. DUP Fetch should be an outfit option. If not, you've got a different issue and should contact support. This should work if it's listed as one of your add-ons for the game. I had an extra download file attempting to dowload that i canceled because it was showing an error. I figured it was doing that because it was already installed.

Gave me the error on the download message, couldn't retry it, but when I went in to play the game, it was available. You select costumes when you choose an arena event. Sadly there's no option to change costumes in free roam.

It's pretty nifty so far, although all the lumens, races, and graffiti can be completed in a little over an hour and a bit (I've put maybe two hours or so into it, and I'm sitting at 42% completion on the save file). The survival mode looks like it'll add some longevity though, and one of the trophies requires an average of 2,000,000 points per arena to complete, and the challenges look like a nice way to pad it all out. What are the ?/hidden events in each section of the overworld map?

You don't need to average anything on the arena. It adds all your scores together over every time you've played. I thought the same thing but I got my platinum today and it just keeps tabs on every attempt you've made and adds them together. I hope that makes sense. The question marks you'll find out a few missions in. I dont wanna spoil it.

Well that was fun. Liked that all the Lumen required a bit of work to get too instead of just hanging on a wall.

Picked this up yesterday for 24 bux, and basically spent all my days off blazing through it. Really enjoyable (felt a biiit short, so I dunno how I would have felt if I spent 60 but eh.) I kind of wish they dropped the whole hero/villian meter stuff and just had the choices be their own thing. I mean this isn't a problem exclusive to infamous but I hate feeling punished unless I go all one direction. Despite being a heroic dude I was strongly considering killing Hank out of anger since it seemed ~thematic~ but I didn't since it'd just punish me. It felt like it worked a bit more with Cole since he felt way more generic personality wise, but not so much for Delsin. I enjoyed the powers, except for Video. Stealth was good but it felt like alot more work to subdue large groups of enemies with it than smoke or neon so I barely used it, and it made phase 1 of the final encounter a bit more annoying since I didn't have a longer meter or higher missile count. Also I don't know if Augustine was intended to be a hypocrite or if this is just a case of inconsistent writing but it seemed really dumb for her to act like she was doing good for the conduits when they were doing invasive tests and torture on them, if they were just locked up in awful solitary confinement and that was it I could at least get her logic, but not really with the other crap, oh well. Is this like a reboot or something because the public backlash against conduits seems kind of weird considering Cole saves everyone for two whole games prior. (unless he fucks up at the end of 2, I got near the end then kind of got bored and never finished it). I'm hoping they stay with Delsin for a sequel since I really like the whole changing powers thing, all I could really want in a sequel would be more powers and also more variety in sidequests.

They dudes your fighting quickly started stirring up propaganda about how the Conduits were to blame and Cole was the Devil blah blah blah. The preorder mission was about Zeke trying to cut out the bullshit and spread the truth about what happed (I hear, never got a chance to play it.)

I thought Augustine was a more well written character in First Light and that story was way more tonally consistent and got rid of the dumb morality system.

Augustine was way more comicbook EVIL in Second Son, then they do a thematic 180 at the last boss fight. First Light is a much tighter narrative and is better for it.

Augustine's 180 in the good ending makes sense once you've seen the explanations from the evil ending and First Light.

The storyline is a few hours, but then there's a ton of ingame challenges to complete, as well as a horde mode type score attack game that is SHOCKINGLY addictive. Also the lack of length means the story doesn't feel padded as much, and there's plenty of collecting and achieving to keep you busy afterwards. Personally, I like it more than Second Son.

So, Troy Baker voiced the audio log guy right? I can't really find any info about it online, but it really sounds like him. After I heard the first log I thought it was going to end up being a Cole MacGrath/Kessler type situation.

For anyone following this thread still, First Light is currently free on PS+. It's a fun couple of hours, especially since I hadn't played any Infamous in months

Amazingly fun game to platinum for those that want an some easy trophies. The actual gameplay is pretty :kickinrad: with the traversal powers, almost on par with inFamous: Festival of Blood.

About halfway through Second Son at the moment (I'm just about to gain access to the southern island and I've cleared all the northern districts). It's a ton of fun and looks absolutely gorgeous at night when I'm using Neon powers! Plus I never get tired of Delsin's poo poo eating grin during a super move.  Still a bit confused why we're meant to think of the DUP as bad guys though, Augustine aside. Keeping tabs on people who can explode you if they trip over some smoke doesn't seem as irrational and power mad as the game seems to imply.

I would totally suggest a $10 purchase be okay. While I got it for free which was awesome, I do wish to own it and would pay $10 easily for it. The one issue with PSN+ titles being given away, is that you can't pay sony for them afterwards. Even with the Plat for I:SS, I thought Fetch had better and more functional powers when doing the arenas, I just couldn't get very far with Delsin.

It's not even really an Evil path, so much as it is a "Delsin is a whiny and entitled punk" path. It turns him from an interesting character who undergoes growth and development and instead turns him into "gently caress YOU DAD" the character.

It's frustrating because I genuinely like Delsin - and Reggie! - so seeing him go from vandal that learns to protect and see the bigger picture was enjoyable. Seeing him go from petty vandal to selfish, megalomaniac dickhead is sad. The final run was fantastic for that. Seeing DUP patrols and blockades get assaulted by normal people sticking up for me and the rest of the Conduits was so satisfying.

The Evil Path is amazing because 90% of dialogue outside of choice scenes acts like he's still a good guy so it's totally incoherent.

When you run up and kick Augustine in the 2nd to last boss fight to build up your karmic streak, rather than "Tyrant Punished" the alert message is "Authority Wounded". And then when you get to the final fight she thanks Delsin for being an even bigger monster than the ones she created and broadcasts your fight to the world so that everyone knows that she beat the biggest bioterrorist threat since the Beast. All the while delsin is just ineffectually trying to make her out to be the monster. At the end they aren't even trying to make Delsin out to be anything but a petty rear end in a top hat.
