Infamous Second Son (PS4)

Uncanny Web-Slinger · Mar 31, 2014

Finished it. I don't see myself finishing up the city of DUP control, though I may play through on the evil run.

Quite disappointed in this, when I get a new game I'm usually hooked but I kinda stopped playing this for a few days and didn't 'to miss it. I loved the powers but I hate how there wants much variation, it's basically shooting power, dodge power, traversal power & heavy attack. The powers are different but are all just here same moves just tweaked abit.

Regarding the ending.

I hate how you're given the fourth power at the end, meaning unless you stick around to do the boring side mission stuff you won't really use it. Upon defeating Augustine it just ends with a basic "and they all lived happily ever after". I don't think Sucker punch wanted to make the game, it feels like Sony said we need a franchise title close to launch so just put together something and they did but their heart wasn't in it.

I'm in the same boat as most people. It's not a bad game per se, it's just boring. From what I've seen I'm about halfway through and it's getting to the point where I have to force myself to keep playing. Seems like the classic case of wanting to show off what the PS4's graphics can do. It's a very pretty looking game but sadly, it ends there. Spent too much time on making the neon extra bright and colourful.

Sucker Punch has announced Infamous: Second Son will be getting its first proper update in around two weeks, where several new features will be added.

The patch is said to have been designed in direct response to fan complaints, and the team is apparently planning to continuing rolling out new additions to the game as more feedback is receivedThe first new addition is the ability to change the time of day once you've beaten the game. An entry in the option menu will allow you to switch as you please. That's not the only new option on the way though; you'll also be able to switch the HUD on and off from the menu, to enable you to get the perfect screenshot.

Finally, Sucker Punch has acknowledged that while the game was designed to be played with an unlocked frame rate, some people would rather it was locked. As such, an option will be included to prevent the game from bumping above 30fps that you can switch on if you're so inclined.

Seeing as the release of Sucker Punch's open-world adventure caused PS4 sales to double in the UK, it's clear there's a sizeable amount of people set to benefit from the changes.
