So I just got home with the game, but am at complete indecision over what path I want to take, so I'm going to leave it to the Giant Bomb community to offer their cases on why one is more favorable over the other. I think it'll be interesting to see which is more popular

Always evil on the first run. Because evil. When a game lets me choose to burn down an orphanage because evil, I will always opt for that first. I want juvenile, escapist power fantasies at their finest.

Good. I'm terrible at being evil, Mass Effect 1 was a good example of that. When I was on my evil run of that I felt terrible after pulling my gun on Conrad. No idea why, I just felt like shit.

Evil, apparently, I think it's because of how much more fun it was playing as Evil grungey Cole in the original (and the inFAMOUS 2 demo, actually) that I decided to qualm my middling morality issues and just go head first into playing a complete nob. I nearly always go good (or at least straying more towards good) when given the option, but Cole's powers develop so much more expansively when Evil.

I went through Evil in the first one, so will do it again to be consistant.

I am playing through as good the first time, just like the original. I started playing through the original as evil this past weekend, might go back at some point and try to get the rest of the evil trophies.

I have so many games to play, that I will probbaly only play through it once, and since I'm carrying on from my inFamous save I'm going to be good.

Good on Hard setting and take care of all the crap like UGCs, Blast Shards, Dead Drops etc
Then for a really good time Evil on Medium or Easy.
It's exactly what I did in the first one.

Always good, I am to much of a good person to pick evil. But in the end I'll go back to get the trophies for evil.

Im gonna be Good this time (played evil in InFamous 1), It'll be a change plus I think it will make me play more strategic instead of just working out how best to take down enemies i'll also be keeping an eye out for civilians, make sure I don't hit them and heal them when I can. Another thing in InFamous 1 I thought being evil would make you team up with the Reapers from the get go, you would fight cops instead of criminals, that would have been cool although to be fair you do eventually fight cops.
Ahh can't wait to get home and play this game! been on a media blackout, bring it on!

I was good on my play through the same way I was in the first game. It will be my only playthrough. There does not currently exist any video game that has enough of a difference in the experience (whoo, different powers, slight story diversions, different looking/sounding character - big fucking deal) to invest another 15+ hours in.

I was good, in the first game the good addition to your powers were better than the evil ones and it seems like the same thing goes for 2.

This Good/Evil choice is stupid. Choices just aren't as simple as that. With that being said, I always find myself taking the good path. I just got my ice powers and the choices really don't feel like they make that much of a difference in the storyline.

I'm currently being good because that black chick is incredibly annoying and I want nothing to do with her. But once I beat the game I'm going to wreak havoc on the city of New Marais.

play evil on first time for normal difficulty and play good on harder difficulty

I always go evil on my first playthrough of games that offer moral choice, but I'm strongly compelled to go good if I ever pick this game up, mostly because I've been hearing people say that the ice powers are way better than the fire powers.

inFamous 2

The electric superhuman, Cole MacGrath, returns in the sequel to 2009's open world superhero third-person action game from Sucker Punch, featuring new graphics, a new city, and new powers.
