Have I mis-understood InFAMOUS: Second Son or something? I thought the whole point of the story was that it started due to the "bad" ending?

I always liked how Metal Gear Solid 2 just assumed that Snake failed at saving Meryl in MGS1. They never explicitly said it, but every single character from the original game is mentioned except her, and the fact that you're stuck with Otacon also gives the theory that she's dead much more strenght. Then, out of nowhere, she appeared in MGS4 like "hey there!". |
iirc, if you read the novel "In the Darkness of Shadow Moses" which was part of MGS2, that suggested that Meryl hadn't died.
(You had to go out of your way to read that, though - like you say, they tried their best to leave it ambiguous. Worked for a lot of people too. I was over the moon when I saw her in an MGS4 trailer because I hadn't read that novel at the time).
