Alright so maybe hipster is not the right word here, but have you ever been to Washington?  The way he talks, things he talks about, attitude, way he talks to his brother, the pigeonhole of his part as "the rebel" disagreeing with his law enforcement brother, denim sleeveless jacket covered in buttons,  skinny jeans, arm sleeve tattoos, they even have the whole tagging / graffiti thing.  Essentially every single thing about him was a direct and obvious ploy to appeal to liberal tweens and young teens based solely on looks.  Far and away the most juvenile, forgettable and my least favorite character in the series.  I prefer to judge human game characters (and real people) based on their actions and reactions towards adversity and their situation, not be forcefed what is deemed "cool appearance" and "cool rebel attitude" Just my opinion.  His character did not have enough substance outside of what they were going for above and I lost interest, and it became really repetitive.  The actual gameplay and graphics were decent though.

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.
