Infamous 2

[JD]

The first Infamous is one of my favorite games and it looks like this one will be even better. This is easily one of my most anticipated games of the year.

Here's the description from the official website:

The BEAST is coming.

A being of pure power and destruction is annihilating the
East Coast. To stop this menace, Cole must find the key to
unlocking his undiscovered powers hidden deep within New
Marais. Standing in the way is a power-hungry dictator that
will stop at nothing to rid him from the city. Gain enough
power to defeat The Beast or witness the destruction of
the world.
Save the world or destroy it.

I will once again look forward to some shard hunting.

I loved the first one. My only complaint was after the game was complete, there really weren't alot of side missions to do afterwards. All I got to do was run around the city and shock people, but that was about it.

 

[Jono]

Wait, we get fire and is that ice powers now? Man, I need to start following the game...

 

[JD]

Wohoo, it comes out today, and I will be getting it as soon as I get off of work. I can't wait, I played the demo a couple days ago and it was awesome.

No, it's the karma...

I will once again look forward to some shard hunting.

Shard hunting is easier now that there is a power that makes it so when you ping (press L3) the closest shard will appear on your minimap no matter how far you are away. So no more hunting for hours for the 305th shard.

After you beat the game on the opposite karma (from the first time) you gain access to both sets.


Also:

Spoiler: good ending, really huge spoilers

Am I the only one who got teared up at Cole's death and Zeke's eulogy? Also they were happy tears as if you listen during the ending cutscene during playthrough (you won't hear it if you watch the movies from the pause menu) you will hear Zeke say "Cole?" right after lightning strikes the boat and the inFAMOUS 2 logo comes up.

 

[Lookingglassman]

Got the game and it is okay so far. I like that I dont have to earn all my old powers back, but I don't see anything really different when it comes to the missions.

 

[JD]

I got it on tuesday and I'm loving it. Is it just me was Wolfe played by Rene Auberjonois?

 

[Lookingglassman]

It is getting better, but so far I havent gotten any ice powers yet, but I did get the cool tornado vortex one.

 

[JD]

Ooh, I love the Ionic Vortex. That thing is awesome.
Does anyone know where I put in the code to get the special pre-order download from Gamestop? I have the code, but when I was playing yesterday I couldn't find anywhere to put it in.

On the XMB go to account management, the square smiley with the pencil...
Select it and there should be a submenu choice called redeem code...
Select it and enter the code...
The paper with the code should have instructions for it as well, but those usually send you trhough the PSN Store...

I actually went for Red Faction: Armageddon as it seemed to get better reviews.

You get the ice/fire powers about halfway through...

I just got my ice powers. I am trying to be good this time, but when I replay it I am going to go straight out evil!

All the paper said was to enter the code. So I due it through the PSN store? I forgot to specify that I have a PS3.

You can enter it through the store too.

And inFAMOUS 2 is a PS3 exclusive.

 

[JD]

Oh, I thought XBN was something for the X-Box.

 

[SG-17]

The XMB is the acronym for the PS3's graphical user interface, the Xross (Cross) Media Bar.

 

[AdAstra]

I just finished inFamous and since my awesome colleagues bought me inFamous 2 for my birthday I started that today.
So far, so great! =) Though I'm not crazy about the ball lightnings instead of the zappity lightnings.

But still, go Cole!
