Good for you, Sony!

Wow, Sony played the detective scene, nice.....

 

[GunmasterLombardi]

Beat Infamous 2 on Evil Karma. It was a fun ride doing whatever you wanted, but the ending is crazy. It'll take anyone around 12 hours to beat it on Hard if you're too stupid to do side missions.

I'd give the game a 9/10 for the evil karma story.

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

^ You know, unless you do some digging, there seems to be several plot holes in the world of inFamous. Can't say on here without spoilertags(too lazy to do that, im tired), so either I'll edit this explaining, or you can pm me.

 

[theeboredone]

Just got to the second district in Infamous. I'm intrigued so far.

I'm not going for 100%, but I will try to get and do anything that comes in my way. Mainly side missions, the satellite dishes, and any battery shards that show up on the gaydar.

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

I'm a little over halfway on my inFamous 2 run, which is hard/evil. My Normal/Good run will be the complete one.

 

[GunmasterLombardi]

Finished Infamous (8/10) and will resume Infamous 2 Good/Hard playthrough later.

It kills it for me when you constantly climb buildings without a tether or electric pole like in Infamous 2.

 

[OmegaXXII]

Just started playing InFamous that I downloaded, I must say it reminds me of GTA minus the weapons and assaulting, his powers are impressive the least to say.

Isn't part of the appeal of the game climbing stuff?

I thought the exact same thing.

I'm only halfway done (according to story mode) with the game. I'm hoping they go a bit deeper into the characters' plot development. Some stuff happened that made me go "why?"

 

[GunmasterLombardi]

No

The heart of the game is the karma and combat with your powers. Unless you mean platforming in the sewers climbing buildings is generic and tedious.

 

[SupaSairentoZ7℠]

I enjoy throw cars at things honestly. All the climbing is just an extra.

 

[theeboredone]

I have to find those random bad guys who start a quest (finding a package). Only quests I have left to clean up the second district...aren't they usually in the area that are still not your territory?

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

Almost at the end of my Evil run on inFamous 2. 12 games has me busy. Found Ar Tonelico: the Rise of Knell today too :d

I can webswing on inFamous2?

 

[theeboredone]

Just finished Infamous. Game has my attention. Will rent Infamous 2.

 

[Deleted member]

Infamous is that good huh? I downloaded it about a week back, but haven't touched it.

 

[theeboredone]

It's alright. I'm a sucker for story, which this game is decent at. I just wish they would have more character development, more dialogue, and scenes.

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

In terms of story, inFamous 2 is better IMO.

 

[GunmasterLombardi]

Tru dat. It feels like the characters are more developed.

 

[Lore]

I still can't decide between Dead Nation or Stardust.

 

[SupaSairentoZ7℠]

Stardust is a fun game. It can get pretty chaotic when tons of meteors along with enemies swarm you. I always try to best my own score any possible chance I get. The other modes can be hard as heck and some dependant on a little luck. I got Dead Nation but I haven't tried it yet.

 

[theeboredone]

Digging Infamous 2 so far. I don't know if it's better budget or what, but they upped the graphics quite a bit. Cole and Zeke look SO MUCH better compared to their counterparts in the first game. And I'm glad they have more "scenes". I like the Comic Book scenes, but just in game scenes are nice as well. Really adds to the plot and character development.

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

Ending of inFamous2[Evil] is so sad, but..logically the right choice.

 

[theeboredone]

Lolwut. No way it's the logical choice.

 

[GunmasterLombardi]

"The needs of many outweight the needs of the few" -Star Trek

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

It was the logical choice. They had no clue IF the RFI would fix everything, so theres a chance that'd be a bust.

Chance saving everything, or save what you know you can? I'd take the latter, tbh.

 

[theeboredone]

Spoiler

Well for starters, not everyone was infected. Second, if only the conduits lived...I guarantee the world would end through violence, while the infected humans die a slow painful death. I mean, just look at what the Beast was doing through his way towards New Maris. Destroyed everything.

And for the record, I don't think Cole was revived at the end. An Infamous 3 would be kind of pointless unless they went with the evil ending.

Read above.

True, but the plague could spread, no? I mean eventually wouldn't humanity just die out if they didn't nip it in the bud so to say? So really, even if it would be a chaotic world of conduits, that> no world at all.

This is of course on the assumptions the plague is contagious. If it isn't, I take all this back. <)<

 

[theeboredone]

Spoiler

I'm not sure if they wern't sure themselves or Wolfe's notes mentioned it was a possibility it might not work.

 

[Lythium]

I'm honestly not sure how they could make an inFamous 3, given the good and evil endings of the game.

 

[theeboredone]

I just figure that you would have to play as someone else...the only slight hint they might have given is that Cole has a brother. Or you can stick to playing as Cole in the evil ending.

 

[Lythium]

I won't say anything because it could potentially spoil it, but yeah, I dunno. :I

 

[theeboredone]

Leaning more and more towards pre-ordering Dark Souls. Uncharted 3's collector edition is a 100 bucks...you get Drake's belt buckle (wearable), necklace with his ring (wearable), a small statue figure of him, and some traveling package chest.

Dark Souls...if you pre-order it, you get a digital download of the soundtrack, artbook, mini strategy guide, dvd of the making of the game in a metal case. You only get this stuff if you pre-order it...so you're basically paying 60 bucks for all this stuff.

Uncharted's offer looks awesome, and both look like good money to cash in on if you try to sell em...decisions decisions.

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

Uncharted has the better offer imo. inFamous 2 had one of the best pre-orders yet imo XD. I love my bookbag.

Speaking of that, 1/3 done with blast shards.

 

[GunmasterLombardi]

More than half shards collected.

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

^ Well you just pwn me. Seriously though, Stardust HD has been killing me. I have three trophies left, and late bloomer is killing me....killing me. I'm going to try again tommorow on my day off. If anyone has this trophy...tips please?

 

[F8AL]

So yeah, a new/updated version of the PS3 is coming out in Japan soon.

http://www.joystiq.com/2011/06/20/new-ps3-hardware-update-in-japan-xillia-bundle-comes-with-new-m/

but you will get a "charcoal black" console with decreased power consumption, a lightened chassis, and a 320GB HDD.

Apparently a handful of visual changes have been made to the system as well, specifically applying to the power and eject buttons

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

^ That seems kinda dumb. Visual changes to the eject/power, decreased power consumption? lol =/

I got 320gig slim though :o

 

[Lythium]

Yeah, I think that was the part you were supposed to get excited about.

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

^ but isn't there a 320Gig already out in JP? I know they have one in US, I have it XD.

That's why we have the PS3 Slim already

...but if it would have had ps2 compatability then....
