it's 4th of July in my asshole
use the clues to find the next lead. do that and as long as it deceides to connect, you will be given a second mission.
Sucker Punch was only able to get permission to use the Space Needle in the game on the condition that people couldn't jump off it.

Just finished the game after staying home from work sick and playing it non stop since breakfast. What an amazing and draining (hiyo) experience.
100% completion

That's not really spoiler free, now is it?

Yeah that kind of blows. SP said in some interview that in order for them to include it in the game, the Space Needle people said they can't jump off of it.
Theres gotta be a way to glitch past the barrier

Finally finished it, pretty awesome game. Actually the first infamous game i've really enjoyed. Kudos to SP. Onto dark souls 2 
I'm in the same boat, so far, although it wasn't the sole reason I got a PS4. I'm also renting from Gamefly, so I don't feel on the hook to have to love it. Hopefully it's still early and picks up.
I also feel like a terrible person because after playing so many 60 fps games on the PC recently, jumping back into this felt kinda janky. I think I fall in the smoothness over effects (Ground Zeroes) camp.
While I agree with your other two points as well, this is the one I agree with the most. It got to the point where I'd go to the upgrade screen and just hit whichever ones were lit up because I didn't really feel like they mattered.
I 100%'ed my Hero playthrough and I'm stuttering along an Infamous one and I have to see it is definitely my least favourite Infamous game.
I just think nearly everything about it is less interesting than Infamous 2. The city feels bland (sorry, Seattle!), the story is boring as shit and poorly told and the traversal and combat didn't really feel as improved as all the impressions led me to believe.
I mean it's still a decent game and I enjoyed it but nowhere near as much as I thought I would and I wouldn't say I had really high expectations. I'm also confused as to why so many people who didn't think much of Infamous prior to SS are now loving this game. It's not vastly different enough to not feel like I1/2 nor is it that much of an improvement over the first two games that I can see why people have been hooked this time.
That was dope.
Broadly speaking: I keep my distance with the 2nd power, go up close with the first and go
unseen
I think there's enough variety here to warrant the different power sets.

it plays better, more varied, more impressive power sets, way more fluid, better traversal, better characters and dialogue, better story, better script, better graphics (obviously) i liked all the past infamous games, but i2 was by far the least enjoyable for me, in all areas bar visuals. i feel like this series is best when your power set is fresh. infamous 2 just felt like a re-tread of infamous 1... it was the bioshock 2 the the original bioshock, whereas second son is the bioshock infinate. i2 refined things, but still felt too similar to be as impressive. and thankfully, with delsin now at the helm, we have a character that is both likable and has far greater potential power wise since he can essentially be anything.
Damn. That sucks. I've been trying to shoot at an enemies feet and have lost mine from accidentally executing an enemy or a stray shot injuring a civilian

Yep. Shooting a subdued enemy in the face because it was an inch to the left of another's foot is kind of disappointing when trying to build up the streak in an intense situation. But now it's evil playthrough time..heads will roll.
I completely disagree with the bolded. Especially it being varied - the side stuff is even worse than Assassin's Creed 1 in levels of shallowness and repetition.
The story is a bit naff as far as super hero stories go. (Going to spoiler it because I know how sensitive some are) "
Defeat the old evil woman to save the tribe!
I don't think the game is any more fluid either. In fact I'd say non power-based traversal is less so, climbing a building without Neon is fucking infuriating. Saints Row 4 has kind of spoiled me when it comes to super hero traversal I suppose.
Like I said I still think it's a good game just not this huge leap from Infamous 2.

Have completed the game going the evil route...now playing through good
2 things that jarred me from a beautiful game
1) For a game with absolutely stunning graphics at times you stand by a window and there is no reflection???
2) The slowdown at times can be really annoying..especially when you start using the neon rampage power the game slows to a crawl
apart from that..love the story...love the design of the game but the above 2 things spoiled what i think was the best game i have played in years

In this game I have fun doing nothing, like just admiring the vistas or the graphics.
I have put maybe close to 10 hours now, maybe 8 and I have cleared the entire first Island or section, True Hero Level, all maxed out Smoke and Neon powers, I can safely say I enjoy more this game than any AC game I have ever played, in this everything I do is fun, plain and simple and looks incredible beautifull to booth.
I will Platinum this game

We only know there will be weekly updates for Paper Trail during 6 weeks and that they work on a DLC in the scope of Festival of Blood.

So how hard is the platinum? Do you just have to find all the collectables (shards, etc) and beat the game good and evil?

It's always the same. Just not the same time of day if you played evil or good.
I think it's one of Eugene angel or maybe Eugene himself.
I didn't work this out until my second playthrough and I felt like a bit of an idiot.
If you haven't finished the game, keep going.
If you have but like me couldn't work it out:
One of Eugene's angels.

Awesome!, I definitely love the Infamous series, don't care how repetitive it is, and I like it way more then AC. With infamous you're given these cool super powers, and they get better as the game progresses, but with AC I felt tasks were too tedious, I didn't care for it.

I 100% the game on Good yesterday. But I never saw anything for the Coles Legacy DLC and my bonus vests from the codes I got for preordering and the Collectors Edition.
People here told me the reason they weren't downloading was because they were licenses and not downloads and the PSN store was showing them as downloads. But nothing happened? I don't have any ! for the Cole stuff and the bonus vests never showed up in the area to choose your best style.
What gives?

I see an expert difficulty trophy. Not sure I'll be able to get that...
But you cant move so the low framerate is not that severe
You have to subdue all drug dealers and destroy the drugs. Maybe you forget to destroy the drugs.
I agree, in this one I only have two powers now but the way they are presented and how good they are it makes you feel like you are becoming more and more powerfull as times passes.
Really love this game and I recomend it to anyone that likes Superhero and Open World games.
I even like teh minigame

There are many tougher platinums out there. This one isn't particularly hard or time consuming. There are a few challenge based ones that are just easy and really about just finding the right place or opportunity.
You probably will. You might have to change your play style a little but its doable. If you play on normal first you will know what to expect and what parts might be more difficult for you so you can adjust your tactics. Arguably, you might be better at expert than normal.
I assume they can just say they are conduits so they are fine. Realistically I don't see how they were still trapped. Fetch can make a radial blast that can break her and Eugene out. I suppose since Augustine wasn't directly manipulating them anymore either one of them could break free. Fetch can blast them out and Eugene could have called an angel to bust them out. But...makes me wonder if they could have saved Reggie.
I'm really enjoying the game but I gotta say I'm bummed at the loss of grinding powerlines.
As awesome as the neon powers look I think the "gotta go fast" traversal mechanic is dull. Instead of navigating around the environment with skill you just go straight to your destination and ignore all environmental obstacles. It kind of goes back to the old Infamous versus Prototype arguments and I always loved the more skill based traversal system of Infamous. With Infamous 2 you can really launch yourself across buildings and grind infinitely through the city. It was also super fun just grinding through the monorail lines in Infamous 1.

So I've played a few hours, damn is this game pretty.
A few things, compass points, why do games still get this wrong? There is only a north point marker, which would be fine usually, but it only shows up when you actually have the camera facing north. I don't know about other people but when I am getting used to where stuff is on a map I start by learning the compass and what is where generally on the map, not that it is a big map really, but I always find it to be damn annoying for my sense of direction in the game.
Audio Logs, was that
, can't help but keep these voice actors together can they, lol. Also, could anyone with Cole's Legacy divulge what you do and any story like bits and bobs that happens in it?
Anyway, back to the game, so very pretty.
