does the game not stack trophies or something? why not play on hard from the start

Because I play game for fun first, then second for achievements/trophies.

You can do both though.

Do the hard, get that out of the way, then do Normal, where you can get your skill powers and all that other crap.

I want to enjoy the game the first time through, not get bogged down by playing on hard when I'm just learning how things work. It's much easier to play through on hard when you know how the game works.

I got addicted to this and finished the first island 100% tonight. The game is pretty fun to play. Once the grind rails got introduced the race missions got way better and the game better since you could move through the city quickly. Then the flying comes in and bam! it's even more fun.

The best parts of the game are the sewer levels IMO even though they all look the same and have no real visual design and tons of repeating textures/objects. BUT, unlike the city they have real level design and level design will always >>> open free-form.

So I haven't done any side missions in the 2nd city yet. Are they just going to be the same 5-10 mission types or does the game introduce new types of side missions each island (which would be good game design to keep it fresh).

The side missions remind me of the side missions in Assassin's Creed except instead of 4 there are like 8 and they are all fun to do unlike AC where they are boring.

Just played Prototype. And the game looks and plays like total crap when you compare it with Infamous.

Prototype has been released at least a half year too early....

I knew the game would be bad. But not that bad.

The game is very repetitive and boring. The gameplay gets tired really fast. And it looks like unpolished shit.
I've played the game for ~40 minutes and it left a bad taste in my mouth.
I don't think I want to play it again.

The beginning of the game is already a disaster. The concept is really good with all those superpowers and stuff. But the game itself is a mess.

I thought the game was entertaining, but a lot of the missions were uninspired, especially the side missions. The side mission in which you have to remove surveillance equipment off of a building would have been tolerable if you had to do it just once, but you had to do it half a dozen times throughout the game. The prison escort missions were almost as bad.

So, yay or nay? I have an unopened copy here, but I'm not sure if I should return it and just rent the game somewhere down the line, or open it and play now. The Sucker Punch and comic book fan inside wants it, but I don't have that much time and I'm worried that I might not get much value out of the game if I do a speedrun. Dear diary and so forth.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #326 on:** June 06, 2009, 07:45:44 PM »

I typically don't enjoy open world games, but I've found Infamous to be a great game up this point.

Flannel Boy · « **Reply #327 on:** June 06, 2009, 07:48:19 PM »

It's a fun game with good controls and neat powers, but some tedious missions.

duckman2000 · « **Reply #328 on:** June 06, 2009, 07:50:58 PM »

The last super-powered open world game I played featured one mission repeated 25 times or something, so that's probably fine. How long does it take to become a badass super-asshole? I think I can deal with even downright shitty missions if I get to wield lightning through them, but I'm not sure about playing hours of a game before getting some decent powers.

You get powers pretty quickly. I'm playing through the game as a Mighty Goody Two Shoes, though.

Aren't there some actual downsides/penalties to playing as the dick of the town? I know there are some exclusive powers, but are there other significant changes to how the game plays?

cool breeze · « **Reply #337 on:** June 06, 2009, 11:52:02 PM »

I played as good first, evil second. I liked the good play through a lot more. It was a lot easier too despite being on normal instead of hard, which I did on my evil playthrough.

Bebpo · « **Reply #338 on:** June 07, 2009, 12:09:39 AM »

I would think good is harder because you have to keep helping people and avoid destroying the environment.

But I could see how evil could be more repetitive/boring because you just run around and blow everything up.

dammitmattt · « **Reply #339 on:** June 07, 2009, 12:49:31 AM »

348 shards. Fuck me. I know that I'm missing one each on the first two islands, but I just can't find them. And I've gotten all of the ones that are supposedly harder to normally see.

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #340 on:** June 07, 2009, 12:43:43 PM »

They made it way too easy to max out your karma in this game. I just got the goody two shoes trophy and I haven't even fully lit the second island yet.

duckman2000 · « **Reply #341 on:** June 07, 2009, 12:57:24 PM »

Game has been pretty cool so far, with the straight platforming and sewer missions standing out the most. I almost hope for Sucker Punch to ditch the open world stuff in favor of a linear action platformer for the next one. Also, the disconnect between the fucking awesome comic book panel cut-scenes and the in-game crap is pretty amazing. I knew that from the demo, but there is one scene at the beginning of the game where it transitions seamlessly from an in-game to a 2d scene that really throws it in your face.

They would be able to control the pace much better and deliver a much stronger story for it. I think the whole "sidequest" thing is overrated as shit.

So where do I find Good/Evil specific sidemissions? Seems like I can't unlock the next power until I complete a few of those, but the ones I have completed have all been neutral.

fistfulofmetal · « **Reply #346 on:** June 07, 2009, 07:06:28 PM »

you only get new powers from sewer missions

and the good/evil specific missions are the ones highlighted with blue or red.

And even while wanting to play as Evil, I can't bring myself to do it. The evil choices simply do not feel like choices I'd realistically make, so I guess I'm a damned hippie too.

Oh, and Murray & Bentley > Zeke & Trish, by a wide margin.

dammitmattt · « **Reply #349 on:** June 07, 2009, 10:57:06 PM »

duck, the game is explicit at pointing out everything you need to know. Especially when you would launch an evil or a good side mission.

And hell yes to the supporting cast. How did they go from the great Sly ensemble to these losers? I liked inFamous a lot, but bring on Sly 4!!!

duckman2000 · « **Reply #350 on:** June 07, 2009, 11:20:54 PM »

I think they stumbled a bit during the transition from cartoony to "realistic," but I still think they have hit a much better point than Insomniac did. Cole animates like a human, but moves like Sly. The enemies are pretty sweet too, but looking at most of the blatantly human characters in the game, they still have some ways to go. Best flawed game I've played in a while.

I want to punch Trish in the face. Zeke is at least stupid enough to ignore.

From the reviews I was reading the sewers sounded like the worst part of the game but I really enjoy them now since it's real platforming and I can't just mash X like I can to climb a building. Once you get the wire/track slide it's really awesome.

I like the comic cutscenes but the story is fucking abysmal.

Not much, but the last few main missions are amazing. And

the last sewer mission changes things up by making you guard three portable generators while getting pounded by swarms of baddies.

The Warren looks so much cooler than the Neon district. Actually fell off the damned prison building while trying to scale it, which was almost a welcome turn of events given the magnet-platforming of other regions.
