I agree. The problems with Infamous: Secon Son were magnified by all the pre-launch hype. We had interviews with the actors and developers telling us how the new motion capture techniques could pick up nuances of performances and we had a cast of great actors to go with that. If you're going to promote that kind of thing that heavily then your script and dialogue better deliver. It didn't. In fact it was puerile, vacuous and uninspired. I know exactly at which point the game completely lost me. I actually put my controller down for a few minutes and thought 'this is very poor' (but in more colourful language). It was when Delcin's brother decided to become bait and started flapping his arms and saying 'I eat babies'. Add to this the uninspired locations and the uninspired enemies, and it all crumbled from that point on for me. I'd 'forgiven' it up to that point thinking it would perhaps improve ... but no, it continued to be the most uninteresting Infamous game I'd ever played. I gave it 5/10 on another forum and I stand by that score still, even after having time to reconsider and even having aknowledged the compat fluity had definitely improved.
A very poor game.
