I finally beat Infamous last night!  The ending was a big "holy shit!" moment for me.  Arguably the best ending I've experienced in any game, and it totally made up for the game's earlier weak points.  It's something I will never forget, I'll say that.

I really have to applaud Sucker Punch on Infamous' narrative.  It was an above average video game story that avoided most video game cliches, and it finished with a total mindfuck of an ending.  And somehow they managed to pull this off without making things all crazy and convoluted like MGS/FF.  The voice acting was also really good, suprisingly so given the game's general presentation was rather lackluster (cutscenes aside).  I really loved the Voice of Survival in particular.

But man, I was really pissed when I realized you couldn't save Trish, no matter which option you chose.  In the end I understand why they did it, but it was still a dick move, imo.

Anywho, I am now really stoked for Infamous 2.  It's already apparent the presenrarion has been much improved, with Sucker Punch going with a more colorful style, somethign they're much better at than the whole grim/grey look.  Aside from the already apparent graphical leap (draw distance and LOD is something that needs particular attention, imo), they just need to iron out the controls a bit more.  Too many times in Infamous I had issues making a specific leap, or dropping down to a ledge.  And often I just got stuck on random objects.  Working on a "free climb" system ala Uncharted 2 would really help here.

Edit:

Oh yeah.  I'm only missing two blast shards.  FML.


Spoiler warning please! XD I think I read something awful ;_;

Sorry!  I assumed anybody reading this thread would've have beaten the first game.

There are maps of the blast shards out there. Some come complete with in game images of the shards. I found them very helpful for finding that last shard (way out on a broken dock). And the ending is definitely a mindfuck. Glad you finished it; the story in inFamous is really awesome. 

I can't wait for inFamous 2. My biggest worry is that the story won't be as good as in the first. I have really high expectations for the story in this one.

I got lucky and found the last two shards yesterday.  Overall I spent maybe an hour past finishing the game finding the rest of the shards.  Wasn't much work at all.

That's what I get for being thorough while playing.  I spammed. L3 the whole time whlie doing missions, so there wasn't a single spot across the city I hadn't covered.  The last two shards were on pillars sticking up out in the water.

Holy mother of god ! Ammataudu !

I'll be updating this with IGN's preview and some other screens ASAP.

Never played the first one but will definitely be getting this.The first one sounds like a good game from what I've heard.



Aldro on 25 October 2010

Fuck me!

I just completed InFAMOUS

SPOILERS AHEAD

Alright so first off =
I played the game as an evil bitch. I became Infamous and I let Trish die. I then activated the sphere (damn the powers you got, i jizz'd) and had the showdown with Kessler.

 

KESSLER WAS ME FROM THE FUTURE. Dude I didn't even see that coming. I suspected he was my father or some shit LOL. That was fucking nuts and I had goosbumps all the way through that battle. This game is REALLY underrated! True AAA game in my honest opinion.

 

Now I have a save before and im gonna choose to destroy the sphere. My only question is:
How many endings are there? Does letting Trish live or die even matter?

Trish dies - You destroy sphere = Ultimate hero
Trish Lives - You destroy sphere = Hero
Trish dies - You use the sphere = Villain
Trish Lives - You use the sphere = Ultimate villain?

Or is it just Activate sphere / use sphere that gives you different endings? Man this game is crazy!

"But man, I was really pissed when I realized you couldn't save Trish, no matter which option you chose.  In the end I understand why they did it, but it was still a dick move, imo."

WHAT!? YOU COULDNT SAVE HER?! I just climbed on that building and she died. Maybe you can't shoot her from down. Explains it.. OH yeah! it makes sense but THATS A DICK MOVE! Right.. guess that answeres my questions XD.



Aldro on 25 October 2010

EDIT:
Just saw the good/hero ending. Damn.. going out as evil/villain was far more satisfying. The game is called Infamous for a reason XD!


Awesome, no regrets on the decisions I made then xD.

Can someone answer one question though?
On inFAMOUS 2, Is there a karma system? What if I ended the game as a villain, am I gonna be a hero when the game starts? That has me confused a tad :(.
