 What is InFamous? InFamous is a series of superhero games made by Sucker Punch studios. If they sound familiar, it's because they also made the good Sly Cooper games. The first InFamous came out in 2009 and was pretty much the first good original superhero game ever. You played as Cole McGrath, who accidentally explodes a sizable portion of Empire City (legally-distinct-from-but-similar-to New York City) and not only survived but got electricity powers. Your goal was to go around the city, restore power to it to collect new powers, and ultimately fight a dude named Kessler. In 2011 InFamous 2 came out, and you did the same thing but in a new city because another guy with powers destroys Empire City in the beginning of the game. You beat him in the end of it too, but canonically Cole dies while doing so. Wait, those are seriously your synopses of the other two games? Basically, yeah. Second Son is really good at making sure people who are picking up the series aren't totally lost while playing it. The game provides all the information you need to know right at the beginning and, aside from bonus DLC missions, you don't need any knowledge of the first two games to know what's going on in this one. As a result, I'm getting two people who's exposure to the series has been minimal so far, Skippy Granola and Bobbin Threadbare. Okay so what's this game's deal then? InFamous is well-known for being a superhero series done right. In it you become a Conduit, which is what they call people with powers in this universe. This is because their powers are all about absorbing a kind of physical matter or energy and controlling it. You have to constantly refill your source because using your powers drains it out of you. There's also M O R A L C H O I C E S in the games. Your character can either use your powers to help other people, or you can use them to essentially drown puppies and eat children. This third game is a tiny bit better with the evil choices, but not much. To show the full extent of this game, I'm actually going to be playing both the good and evil paths, with Skippy Granola chatting it up as we use our great powers responsibly, and Bobbin Threadbare plotting with me how to get the most out of our powers for ourselves. Wasn't there DLC to this game? Yup! I'll be covering that too. Not until after the game is done though, and there's no M O R A L C H O I C E S in it either, so both will be joining me for that. What's the LP going to be like? Story missions will be shown off in their entirety. All side content wil be done as well, but since most of it is the same stuff but slightly different, I won't be showing most of it off. The two side missions I will show all the content for are the dead drop missions, which provide some nice backstory and such for the game, and the tagging missions, which show off just how loving good an artist our main character is. Also as a fair warning: I will likely be repeating myself a lot during these videos. I won't blame anyone for not watching both versions. However, I'm hoping that by having different co-commentators I will get different reactions, so it might be worth it for big updates. GOOD VIDEOS Episode 1: If Art Is A Crime... ... Uncut ...

I still think neon is a better power than the next power for good characters, but having stuck with it for the LP, I will admit that it's still very good either way. It doesn't help that it's actually kind of hard to come by sources for the last power, too.

Kloro posted:- The Paper Chase DLC is really good and has a pretty neat (and very plot relevant) conclusion, so it's a shame you're not doing it. I might do it in that case. I've never actually finished it myself. Though considering it's one of those "only one path" things I might make them separate videos and get both of my co-commentators in on it at the same time.

SonicRulez posted:Do we have an over/under on if Delsin is more powerful than Cole yet? I would've loved to see that as some kind of super secret boss. Considering at his most powerful Cole could use electricity to travel back in time, I'm gonna lob a "probably not" here. It's been shown in-game that even at his most powerful, Delsin is one of those "jack of all trades master of none" characters. He can use Neon, yeah, but not nearly as good as Fetch. He can use video, sure, but he can't turn himself into some giant angel/demon hybrid that shoots lasers from his eyes. I don't think it's a matter of practice, either, like Bobbin has said. Thinking back on it, Delsin has truly reached his potential using the shards we've been absorbing, and we can't get any more powerful. He may have variety on his side, but on his own Delsin seems to be weaker than other Prime Conduits. If he ever were to fight a clone or whatever of Cole, he might win due to having enough options that he doesn't need to scrounge around for a power source, but if he was limited to one power I think Cole would kick his rear end.

Okay, so bad news. The LP, and all my other LPs, are on a temporary hiatus. How temporary I can't say... maybe days, maybe more. My PC's motherboard died and my laptop is in no condition to be doing anything involving recording or editing. I can probably still do commentary for other people's LPs but that's about it. Hopefully this won't be long. I'm getting a second opinion from someone about the mobo just in case because we all know how doctor google can be, but if it is I just need to order one and pay someone else to install it because I'm lazy and pissed enough that I'd rather just use part of my tax refund money on that instead of doing it myself.

Okay! Here's an update at last! Now, because of the delay I had putting this up, I have a special present coming for you all... later. The first two updates of First Light will be  DOUBLE UPDATES! The base game videos, however, are a lot of work. I basically pull double update duty on them every update, so doing four at once would just be a horrifying prospect. Just wait a few weeks and I'll make up for it, promise.Episode 12: Something In Your Size ... Good Uncut ... Bad Uncut ... Good Cut ... Evil Cut

To be fair, he exposed her, then personally went to Curdon Cay to release the Conduits. Probably with a bunch of news crews tagging along so that their new favorite Conduit celebrity wasn't shot dead on the spot.

So uh I know I said this was going to start on the 31st but it's going to start on April 1st. No, I'm not trying to make some loving stupid April Fool's thing, I just genuinely screwed up encoding one of the episodes and I won't have enough time to fix it before then. I will have a real, genuine update for you on April 1st.

 What is this? It's InFamous: First Light! It's a stand-alone DLC starring everyone's favorite neon laser shooting junkie, Abigail Walker AKA Fetch. It released in late August 2014, roughly five months after InFamous: Second son. You don't need Second Son at all to play this, and it's currently standing at a pretty $14.99 on Sony's digital store (i say $10 in the first video, but i was mistaken and must have been confusing it for a sale price). What's it about? First Light is a prequel DLC all about Fetch's past. Specifically the events leading up to her killing her brother, Brent, which led to her capture by the DUP. They do a couple of non-obtrusive retcons here and there, all of which can be handwaved away by saying we don't exactly know how accurate Delsin's past-reading power is. Since we're playing as Fetch, we're limited to just the neon power, but being limited to "just neon" is like being limited to a chain gun with infinite ammo. 100%? Technically? 100% requires a lot of grinding for skill points, which would be dreadfully boring to watch. I'll show off all the missions (and all of the variants of the one side mission that has variants), but aside from that you can assume that I'm earning various skills off-camera. I do, however, have a file with 100% completion on it, and will be using that to show off the arena fights (which wont have commentary). Episode 1: Short-Tailed Burmese Cat ... Uncut ... Cut Episode 2: I'm Shane. ... Uncut ... Cut Episode 3: Gang War ... Uncut ... Cut Episode 4: Drones ... Uncut ... Cut Episode 5: Go Fetch! ... Uncut ... Cut Episode 6: You See That, Brent? ... Uncut ... Cut

There was no update last week because did you seriously expect me to get any work done the week Ratchet and Clank came out? C'mon. However I'm being nice and playing catchup, so we're finishing the LP up proper. I have a few more videos of arena stuff but those will come out on no schedule and won't have commentary over them.

slycooper20 posted:Okay, I don't know if I missed anything or not, but I don't understand how Fetch accidentally killing Brent was a retcon. I seem to remember her mentioning that during her backstory spiel in the main game. It's the reasons why they said she killed him as opposed to the act of killing him. Second Son said that she thought Brent stole her drug stash.
