I just finished inFamous last night as a Hero, and immediately started a new game for evil. What did you play it as your first play through?
Btw, story is awesome, I needs to know more!
inFamous
Game » consists of 13 releases. Released May 26, 2009
inFamous is a third-person open-world action game in which players take control of Cole, an urban explorer / bike messenger changed by a mysterious blast that grants him electricity-based superpowers.
Good or Evil?
I find it difficult to make consciously hard decisions, so the first playthrough was good and trying to make my second playthrough evil is really difficult.
First play through on Normal with Good; just 100% Neon and did a little of isle 2. Will play on Hard and as Bad for my second play through.
I normally would be evil. I started both Fable II and Fallout 3 as an evil character. Something about this ... [more]
Moral choices are fun, but so far I've seen no redeemable factor playing evil aside from more destructive powers. Which would be fun, if it wasn't the fact that everyone inhabiting the game is either diseased, dying, or dead.
I went straight evil and I'm at the end of the second island. I never really got to go pure evil or pure good in a game with a morality system I always find myself breaking down at some point because one decision or another will screw you over in some way but in this you can just keep on trucking after deciding to let tons of innocents die like nothing ever happended because no one would dare stop you.
beat it good and then evil. Disappointed to find that the ending was the exact same no matter what you chose to be. The only difference at the end was the ingame monologue thing after the credits. The good/evil things, to me, felt very tacked on. You got maybe 2 or 3 cutscenes that were altered slightly, the npcs act a differently towards you, your appearance is altered (not in a very interesting way), and that's it. Dunno, that aspect could of been done a lot better IMO considering how much of a big deal they made of it. "Save what is left or destroy it all".....
That being said, I did enjoy the game tho for what it was. After 2 play throughs I'm a bit surprised it got as high of scores as it did tho. Maybe I only have myself to blame for tending to rush through games so quickly. At least I got the Uncharted 2 beta to still look forward to. Think I may trade this in towards FUEL if it ends up getting good reviews. Don't think I wanna get Prototype since it will just be Infamous but with more explosions and blood plus different powers of course minus one of the kewl aspects of Infamous (the climbing).
seems like everyone did good first.
Evil, although some of the main story missions shoe-horn you into doing the technical "good" choice. But I suppose since Cole is being manipulated he doesn't have a choice in the matter.
Some things I like to do while playing as evil Cole:
Kick the sick people, Leach random civilians, beat up anyone who talks trash about me, help people then beat them, Cause random multi car + civilian explosion rampage...etc.
my first (and only, i dont replay games usually) playthrough shall be as a good guy, as always in moral choice games. that, and since Alex is pretty much evil in Prototype which ill play after infamous, i might aswell go full goody 2 shoes in this one
edit: although im loving Infamous atm, so i might have to break my rule of not replaying games
I'm playing as a good guy, but Cole doesn't seem especially noble or kind despite my continued 'Good Karma' choices. He's still rather abrupt to his friends. But then Zeke is kind of a fool. (I guess I'm just too used to Bioware-style 'I'm a good guy and I want to give my entire team group hugs at every opportunity and adopt all the orphans!'-style good characters.)
Completely evil. Trish can suck an egg, I have a much better contact that gives me very interesting missions.
The first time I played I decided to give the food in the first mission to the people, but when they proceeded to start calling me names I said screw and went on to go through the first island evil. I only got to play the first island since I cancelled my GameFly account but now that I have bought the game I started over and have picked every evil option available. This is the first game I have even done an evil playthrough on though, every other game I have played as the good guy.
