inFamous 2 or "Fuck you, Magneto!"
 

So I just bought inFamous 2 and decided to make this thread while the update downloads. I've been pretty excited for a while given how the first game was and I'm happy that Walmart sells it with a voucher for the electrocution grenade.

Anybody else buying/bought this?

I might rent this I played the demo and it's a grand build up to the initial base of the game. The Lifting cars power is a insanely nice addition as well as the AMP strapped along cole's back.

Ooooh, apparently people can make customized missions that show up as green markers on the map if you're online, they can even make silent subtitles to add backstory. I only tried one made by the developers but this has amazing potential once people start goofing around with it. And I'll definitely give it a shot after I complete the game on both ends of the karma spectrum.

I got the game at around noon. I took maybe four breaks. I finally pulled myself away from my PS3 about an hour ago. I am at mission 31-ish and have completed every side mission along the way. I think it's safe to say I love this game. I especially love the power swapping. Being able to change grenade or blast types on the fly is awesome, and adds a lot more depth.

I just wish there was an easy way to find the nearest dead drop pigeon instead of running randomly around the city until you see it on your mini map. I want my backstory dammit!

The demo doesn't do the actual game justice. Sure lifting cars is neat, but launching yourself into the air with a pillar of ice and then raining down cluster grenades, or shooting electro-rockets that break up into smaller rockets that home in and stick to your target, well it's an entirely different experience. I definitely recommend the game, rental or buy, whatever floats your boat/wallet.

Wait, pillar of ice?
Did Cole's powers mutate, or something?

Trying to keep this relatively spoiler free
 

In a sense, yes. There's one point in the story where you can choose between fire or ice to complement your electric powers. The ice powers are the "good" choice and the fire powers are the "evil" choice. It all makes sense in the context of the story, so it's not just some random power mutation.

I can't wait for the custom "murder everything, because there's a lot of it" mission series to get on the network.

So far, so good... Mostly. Can't say I care for the User Generated levels. (They don't come into play immediately, only after the first few missions, the PS3 requests to log in & set them up.)

They're just so bland & the lack of sound, makes them fairly uninteresting. And now they're all over my map, which stinks.

Can't say I think the new voice actor for Cole is any way an improvement. Not that he's bad, but from the interviews I've heard, the reason why they switched, doesn't seem to pan out.

Its more of a lateral move. Only mediocre talent for another one (who may or may not be slightly cheaper).

Yeah the UGC is nothing special, but it IS their first foray into that kind of content and it's just some extra fluff. I wasn't expecting anything super amazing when I first heard about it though. But if you dislike having them on your map, you should be able to turn it off in the User Content menu.

Also I've beaten the game and the ending is fantastic. I won't say much more for now because I fear I've beaten it stupidly fast. Now I need to go for an evil playthough, but first I have a few surviving pigeons to hunt down.

Recently bought it. Loving it so far. Downside is that i played the first infamous all the way through on my brothers ps3 before i got my own so i can't import trophy data...
