Infamous downgrades 2: Electric depression with no bogalooing in sight

[Schnee_One]

You played the one decent one.

 

[ZephyrosOmega]

You are the one person I know who has that opinion, Mr. Schnoo

 

[Schnee_One]

Then you haven't met that many people, basically everyone on this site considered every other inFAMOUS game better.

 

[The_Wright_Way]

Yeah, I can vouch for that.

 

[ZephyrosOmega]

Then you haven't met that many people, basically everyone on this site considered every other inFAMOUS game better.

Oh, i thought from the way you said it, that you only liked this one and disliked the others. that makes more sense.

 

[Schnee_One]

Nope, 1 and 2 are incredible. First Light is pretty great, Second Son

Blegh

 

[ZephyrosOmega]

I have hugely enjoyed second son so far actually

 

[Schnee_One]

Glad you're enjoying it

 

[DMUA]

Second Son has good gameplay but the writing dropped hard

 

[The_pen_or_the_sword]

The game play of second son was rather solid the parkour and pseudo flight are a lot of fun, there's something satisfying about voring blast cores and shard (some reason the shards awoke my collectathon instincts) the story overall is meh. The evil routes delsin has some fun ideas though the true evil ending seemed off.

 

[DMUA]

The evil route is actually kinda worse than the good one

Cole had an evil route because he was in a isolated, gang controlled city full of people who blame him for his problems cause he has powers, and he eventually had to go out and save the whole world in the second game

Meanwhile Delsin just wants to save his grandma and then immediately jumps to wanton slaughter and nuking them when they aren't cool with it

 

[The_pen_or_the_sword]

I don't disagree but the idea of delsin in crudan cay is enough to sell me.... like I said fun ideas doesn't mean they were well excuted

 

[DMUA]

Oh yeah him turning into All For One is pretty cool, but the path there is inherintly pretty dumb

 

[DMUA]

Also

this is the discussion thread

This should have been closed, the revision's done

Oh also speaking of All For One, read this

 

[The_pen_or_the_sword]

Definitely like I said some cool ideas but overall the routes inherently flawed...Im also not really clear why good delsin wouldn't do the same?

Question if we can't scale second son conduits to old conduits (I agree lot seems to have changed) Where does there resistance to bio manip come from?

 

[DMUA]

Well, they're still made from the same RSB that the first generation was made from, so they shouldn't be hurt by rads and whatever comes as a consequence

 

[The_pen_or_the_sword]

Im not so sure about that logic, resistance to rads is well...radiation resistance. Im more wondering about there resistance to bio manip, cause I don't remeber anything in second son involveing bio manipulation.

 

[The_pen_or_the_sword]

And as we already know the conduits have changed drastically from the first game, thus scaling isn't the easiest or even plausible thing to do,

 

[ZephyrosOmega]

All i said was i just played second son and now people are hating

 

[DMUA]

I'd say this is a simple discussion on the shortcomings of fiction

 

[The_pen_or_the_sword]

Im not hating it was a solid enjoyable game I and many others felt the writing was lacking but the fact of the matter is it was still an enjoyable experience

Im just trying to figure out the source of bio manip resistance when these conduits are already so vastly different.

 

[PTSOXMONKEY99]

Well basically, they don't get resistance to rads cause Conduits can naturally absorb Ray Field radiation, a special inverse radiation that gives normal people the Plague and enhances a Conduits powers/awakens their Conduit gene/mutates them.

The bio resistance comes from the fact that Conduits (with an active Conduit gene) are immune to the Plague. Said disease was so terrible that it spread along the west coast like wild fire, could kill people the same day they started showing symptoms of having it, had no cure, could effect people with non-activated Conduit genes, some of which have signs of superhuman abilities and iirc could work on people with mutated physiology.

 

[The_pen_or_the_sword]

See theres the logic I was looking for That makes sense

 

[DMUA]

Oh

I actually forgot Ray field energy was a thing

It's been quite awhile since I've consumed this series whole

 

[PTSOXMONKEY99]

Although iirc its speculated in Cole's Legacy by Dr. Wolfe's brother (who has access to Wolfe's work) that the Ray Field Plague mutated so that instead of giving non-Conduits the Plague it instead turned them into Conduits. But it's never really explored any further than speculation.

So there's that.

 

[PTSOXMONKEY99]

Oh

I actually forgot Ray field energy was a thing

It's been quite awhile since I've consumed this series whole

But like, it's the only reason why Evil Cole has such an impressive list of victories
