fml How stupid can I be to mention that they made Sly and then forget that Sly came out in the early 2000s

I really loved the first two Infamous games. The most recent game really felt lacking, though.

An innocent mistake friend! No worries.

I felt the same about Second Son. Totally forgettable.

I actually sold my CE for that game. I just thought I'd never bother with it again. It just had no soul. I finished it, but meh. Nothing stood out about it.

 

I still have the first two games, including the CE with the awesome Cole statue for I2.

that dive bomb thing you could do in second son with a full meter and the different types of powers (mostly neon) were cool

Also the only good inFamou games was the first one Protoype,

tbh, First Light, the stand-alone expansion, is REALLY good. Neon, for example, just feels way better in the game, the story is short, and the arena was really really fun.

I'd need to check and see if I actually still have that. I think I bought it on a sale forever ago, but there's a chance I could have gotten it for "free" on PS+, which I canceled ages ago. 

 

Either way, it's kind of a low priority.

I’ve platinumed all three games. But the formula really had run dry by second son. 

[EternallDarkness]

it's only 10 years old, feels older to me.

I've only played Sly 2 which I got for free from the Sony demo disc memory card wipe apology.

Yeah, it's not something that changed the face of gaming so there's no rush. BUT, if you have 6 - 8 hours to spare, you can play the story, side missions (much more fun compared Second Son, though still simple) and arena and then go right off to something else. In case you want a game that's not a heavy investment.

I can't figure out why this made me laugh. Maybe just the term "demo disc memory card wipe apology?"

Probably “wipe” making you have dirty thoughts

I've only played Second Son and First Light.  Never owned a PS3, so didn't play the earlier Infamous games.

How'd you like them as your first two?

This thread has me itching for a remaster

I though Second Son was a fun, yet hollow and forgettable experience.  First Light was better due to the lead character and story being more interesting.

Curious as to what someone thought if they hadn't played the previous ones and apparently it's similar!

 

First Light was better, and I was surprised the arena mode was so fun. I thought, "Okay, gonna just get through this," but I had a ton of fun bouncing around that place and getting a plat. I feel Second Son over-corrected an issue. Infamous 2 was a lot of fun and had some crazy powers (like lifting a car magnetically and then tossing it), but it did have a surplus of side missions. It'd just be some person in the city needing help with something and then a mostly quick mission with one set of missions having a story throughout it, but there were a TON, so it was difficult to do everything in order to fix a certain part of the city.

 

Second Son basically removed everything, put in only Cole's Legacy, and replaced the side missions with taking over districts. By itself, taking over districts is a good idea. I'd likely have removed a couple of things and maybe changed up how to do it, but I think side missions should have been part of taking over a district. There should have been more than Cole's Legacy, and what was there -- graffiti, finding the DUP agent -- wasn't great. 

 

I think in addition to that, there were fewer shards to get, and the audio drops weren't as interesting as the ones from 1/2. I wanted to get to the end of all of them to get the backstory in the first two, but Second Son's ultimately doesn't have an interesting story until the last part when you find out about the other powers.
