Throwing cars at groups of random people was awfully fun.

I started playing last night with Cassie and the beginning is pretty cool. I really liked the initial spraypaint, but kept in mind that it could get old. However, we had fun trying to guess what the picture would be just looking at the cutout so it probably won't get so tired.

I actually thought the DS4 sounds were awesome between the phone calls and the spray paint can.
Oh, and I decided to go evil first. That first decision was really really tough.

My impressions thus far:
The story isn't anything impressive but it serves its purpose. On the creative side, I like that they went with native Americans as the background, although I wish it fit a little more thematically with the gameplay. For instance, tagging is cool, and I love the designs they came up with, but it would have been a little more interesting to have a Native American slant on them.
A couple other things also bother me about the story.
For one, in an early scene Delsin refers to himself as a "power sponge" and somehow inherently knows he can draw powers from people. And he knows he can get new powers from things that are lying around. Yet nothing that happened should have given him that inclination. It was a little weird. It's just a minor narrative flaw though. It could have easily been fixed in a number of ways (like if he got two different powers immediately at the beginning of the game).

There are a couple other flaws that nag but really the opening story is about setting up your reasoning for running around the city and fighting the DUP, which it accomplishes. I didn't really expect much, but it's better than nothing.

Gameplay wise, there's lots of stuff to do, and it feels gratifying to go through and unlock stuff and clear areas of DUP control. The side quests are pretty varied and the game is actually challenging at times. It really feels like you control how much of a challenge you want, which for me is one of my favorite things about a game. ie; If I'm good at gaming, I should be able to throw myself into the lions den and come out alive. A lot of games tend to block off challenges, or make you not want to jump in, or have to set your own challenges to make it harder, like min level runs. This doesn't, and I appreciate that.

Characters are all pretty cool and interesting. I recognize the first light girl in some pictures in the game, which is a nifty reference. I'm getting new powers at a pretty good clip now and just unlocked the meteor slam which is epic.

For those starting I would suggest to play as good on normal difficulty first. Good is harder than evil because evil is pure destruction. Playing as good if fun and having your first run-through as good gets a good feel of the game with a standard ending.

Then your second playthrough should be evil on the hardest difficulty, evil is a lot more fun and the destruction of everything actually makes hardest quite easy and I fear going evil first then good might make things boring after having the epic level of evil. Also the evil ending is fantastic!

@archangel
that makes a lot of sense actually since some of the stronger moves deal area damage to innocents as well. Oh well, looks like I'll be in for a challenge later on.

i always play good as i suppose i'm a good person.  making evil choices is in some ways immersion breaking as i would never make those choices in real life.

...also for infamous specifically i knew that good would require more percision to my gameplay so i was happy to play that on my first/normal difficulty playthough.   now that i'm playing on expert difficulty for the trophy it's nice that my evil guy doesn't have to worry about killing civilians.

I'm sure you'll be fine! It's a fantastic game and both playthroughs were awesome.

my replay has been fun so far but it's also kind of frustrating.   having to play with smoke powers just makes me feel so limited knowing that neon and tv powers are just soo much more fun.   running up and over building with neon is quite possibly the best gameplay in the game to me.

I also played it first on good and then on the second playthrough I went with bad.
This thread is a great reminder, maybe I'll get the plat for First Light in these weeks!

Already platinumed infamous first light and second son. Both very enjoyable.
