My favourite thing about Infamous 2 was when you completed it twice with both endings you unlocked both Napalm and Ice at the same time

if you look closely at kessler's "teleportaion" it is not true teleportaition. I think that he is transforming himself into electricity the same way delsin does when using the neon sprint and smoke dash

Was he the bike messenger that clipped Peter Parker?

Bruuh, I haven't heard the name "Cole McGrath" in years Subscibed

I really enjoyed Cole as a character. He's just so bonkers with his abilities.

Man Cole McGrath was one of the best protagonist I ever played as wish he didn't had to die

tbh 2009 was one of the best years for video games. its astounding how many amazing games came out back then. god i miss that time.

This makes me wish they made a new game. This was literaly my childhood

This is honestly one of the best Infamous videos on RU-vid! I like how much you went into detail with everything. It was really interesting to watch. Keep it up! I’m definitely subscribing.

"I don't know if you've ever let someone down, got your ass kicked or straight up failed, but those are the moments that define us. They push you further than you've ever thought possible, and force you to make choices... no matter what the cost." - Cole MacGrath, InFAMOUS

It's kinda funny how kessler created the beast by playing kieepaway with the raysphere instead of just disposing it

Finally, some good food.

this is the first video i had ever seen of you and let me say its really good. i'm always mad when reading on cole's powers and matchups against other fictional charaters because they always low ball him, but you hit the nail in the head with this analysis, great video.

I’ve actually wanted to make my own video on this I’m too lazy to get around to it. Nonetheless, great video

Does anyone hope they make a new infamous where Cole comes back and fights with Delsin, or maybe even against him?

Anyone else thinks Evil Cole's Beast Form would probably look like Storm Killer from Raising Dion but just red instead of blue?

Seeing the plot for the original InFamous games gives me chills. The sci-fi and work put into the plot of the first two games were incredible. Also really dope of you to review in 2020, super rare my favorite game series is even mentioned nowadays

Tf im confused this video is good ur speaking is clear and ur points make sense but u got so little views thats some bs but u got a new sub great vid

Never realized how powerful Cole was, fucking hell. Id loved a remake of the first infamous. Maybe Bluepoint can take a shot. I just love this game.

This lore was so sick. I still wish they make more games like this

Infamous was and still is the best game series ever and it always will be.

Hope you don’t mind, wanted to make a small chart for how the other major characters scale of each other. • Sasha: Fought BoG Cole who could still withstand the Ray Sphere explosion - City level • Alden Tate: Fought Endgame Cole right before he powers up the final substation - City level • Kessler: Earthquake Feat. Also overpowered inFAMOUS 1! Cole at his most powerful and treated Sasha and Alden as non-threats - At least City level • David Warner: Manhandled Post-inF1 Cole in their first encounter and fought evenly with him in their second - At least City level • The Beast: Casually city-busts, creates clouds just by transforming, tanked a direct hit from a nuclear missile, Defeated Post-inF1 Cole at his most powerful, etc. - At least Large Mountain level • Bertrand: Fought Endgame Cole just before he absorbed the final Blast Core, along with Nix and Kuo. Additionally, he survived a Ray Sphere blast and was stated to pose some sort of threat to The Beast - Large Mountain level-ish • Kuo: Weaker than both Endgame Cole and Nix, but still managed to harm the former somewhat alongside The Beast, and survived Nix’s suicide attack that severely injured The Beast, albeit barely - Large Mountain level-ish • Nix: Fought evenly with Endgame Evil Cole and severely damaged The Beast via suicide attack, and was even stated by Cole himself to be a “powerhouse” - Large Mountain level The Beast >/= Nix > Kuo =~ Bertrand > David Warner = Kessler > Alden Tate > Sasha

Aye who did this in the infamous 1 & 2. When you run low on electricity, did you guys ever shoot at some electrical boxes or bad guys body to charge it up with juice and then absorb the lighting that you shot them with. Which basically means that you can charge yourself with your own power. Doubt that be cannon but I hope that someone else also did this.

Hey I really liked your video, I think it’s a very accurate representation of Cole’s true potential and the feats he’s discovered so far, if you haven’t already, could you make one discussing Delsin rowe’s abilities?

I completely forgot about this game, and I when I'm reminded I find out that the mc is stronger than a decent chunk of fiction

Cole's basic electric blasts in Part 2 are the pretty strong or looked like it, you never regain that look ever again

Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time

If Cole was in the marvel universe he would be an Omega level mutant and that's all there is to it he's strong lol

Man, Cole is so fucking strong and never realized that, he might be in the same level of someone like Kratos.

First video I've watched from you and I'm already impressed. Do you think you could tackle Alex Mercer's Prototype next?

fear the demon of empire city and respect the patron saint of New Marias, great quote.

Infamous was my first game on ps3

I'm still convinced Cole was stronger then the beast by the end of of infamous 2. Maybe if he had just a little more time he could of just spawn killed him over and over again until the beast was like aight I'mma head out.

makes me realize we need a Static Shock game!

For the bits where he dodges lightning/radiation, as much as I love him, our boy isn't moving relativistically. He's simply getting out of the way before where it's aimed at passes over him or it's fired. It's a lot easier to dodge a bullet if you get out of the way of the barrel, same principle here.

Honestly we need a new infamous game that series is fuckin awesome

Flawless narration.. you gotta subscriber, bro

I like it when electricity wielding characters are actually shown as powerful as they should be. Electric kinesis is so frikking strong it can even be called overpowered or broken. P.s. Loved the video

Imagine cole or delson in a marvel movie, or a movie of there own 😳😎

I'm currently playing second son for the second time. Delsin Rowe has the exclusive ability to absorb and utilize other Conduit's powers. Kind of like rouge from X-men, but rouge could only use a fraction of said power. Delsin on the other hand can take those powers and build upon them. We know from playing second son how Delsin's story goes, but I am left to wonder how he fits into the grand scheme of the story.

I was hoping you'd mention how Kessler could throw grenades without even moving. not a knock or anything I just like that detail

I Have Depression After Finishing the good ending 7 times and kill Zeke for the first time 😭

What would happen if A Conduit with Cole and Delsin's abilities got the powers of Alex Mercer (Blacklight Virus from Prototype)

Excellent video!! People who have never played infamous are always downplaying him in vs battles so thank you for this video

I never quite understand what the scaling meant but this is the best way I’ve seen Cole’s power explained Could you possibly do one for Delsin? He wouldn’t be nearly as strong since we never see him destroy cities but it’d be interesting

I just wanna say that kessler is cole yet a lot of what kessler does is far beyond what can be done with just electricity. Time travel, memory impartment, Phantasmal copies, and shockwaves that seem to contain no electricity at all not to mention amping his physical abilities far beyond any human. I've always gelt like his actual power is energy manipulation and the only reason cole only uses electricity is due to a difference in time to evolve.

Wait so y'all killed Cole with that lame ending by being heroic I thought they just picked the good ending by default, Delsin was ok ig

Small nitpick; John was revealed to be a conduit in infamous 1 through dead drops. He claims to have "dream based esp" and "involuntary telekinetic abilities" or something like that

This is absolutely fantastic great work! 👏

Beast Cole would probably be planetary over time.. let that sink in. Planetary over time is nuts

I pray we get a 4th game. Imagine if Delson is the bad guy going mad collecting every power, and the only one left to get is Lightning/Electricty. It's perfect. Delson could be the real Beast that Future Cole warned us about.

Sucker Punch should had never killed off Cole in the story lore... it would be cool to play as Cole again in the future 💥

If death battle actually makes Cole macgrath vs. Alex Mercer I definitely know who I'm putting my vote on! 😁👍

What if Cole isn't dead? What if his body is in a state where it needs to recharge, or be recharged? Remember Coles healing abilities? What if, while he is dead, his body goes into a state where his body obsorbs electricity around him? Think about it. Cell in the body don't immediately die when you die; and because he is superhuman, maybe his body won't ever die! And, believe it or not. Electricity is everywhere, he could be obsorbing electricity from cables under the ground, or lamp posts near his barrial, slowly but surely. And once charged up enough, will bring him back to life.

Bought all CEs of each game, still wearing that bag and beanie. And that action figure stands on my desk next to Aloy and Kratos.

Its a shame cole died and its even more of a shame that the raysphere was destroyed we'll never know what cole's true potential with his powers would be given that kessler or future cole. Kept unlocking and improving his powers as he got older he even managed to go back in time althrough he could only go back forward and theres no telling if what Kessler did in the past changed his timeline if thats how time travel works.

This game is what made electrokenetic powers like Cole's my favorite power.

i love infamous and honestly think its the greatest game ever. i like how basically in infamous 1 its basically a nuke goes off and people get infected by radiation poisoning and cancer. and in this case it gives people with conduit genes powers and immunity to the ray sphere plauge.

Technically Festival of Blood IS canon, it’s just a false story that Zeke tells about canon Cole

this video is too underrated

Cole > Delsin ....

What’s this? Decent content on YT for once?

But who would win? Evil beast Cole or Cole powered by the R.F.I.?

This 2 games need a full on remake. While the 3rd would benefit from a remake, it still holds up.

Can you do a video for infamous second son explaing delsn powers love your videos Keep up the good work👍😊

Excellent video mate.

Hey crisis can you do a how powerful is Delson Row video from infamous second son like you did with Cole McGrath

Cole's electricity is 20000 volts and then increases by 100000

Don't forget, Weather Control, Electro-Magnetism & Regeneration.

Badass conclusion. I am torn between both endings of Infamous 2. On one hand, the good ending was Amazing and sad, but a great way of concluding Cole’s arc; and on the other hand, the Evil ending is sad, mainly because you have to kill zeke, but you get the full power of the beast and it is mind blowing to think that Cole becomes what he sworn to destroy. It would have been cool to see him fight Delsin. Great video!

My favourite game protagonist because elektrokenesis is my favourite superpower.

DO ONE OF ALEX MERCEEEER!!!

Ok... I can respect EVERYTHING you say EXCEPT the speed stuff. Cole CAN NOT move faster than the electromagnetic attacks he dodges, he just predicts them in advance. Saying he is "lightspeed" is dumb. Still, good video.

One thing i would’ve loved is if cole teamed up with cyborg raiden from the metal gear solid series. They both conduct lightning/electricity. Cole has his reaper mode and raiden has his ripper mode since raiden’s adoptive name is “jack” and plus he was a child soldier who fought in the Liberian civil war in 1989. And yes I’m aware of PlayStation all-stars and how they were both “enemies” or whatever, but ps all-stars isn’t even a canonical thing in my eyes.

So powerful enough to destroy Mercer and Heller in one hit with his powers, yet nowhere near powerful enough to stand against Raiden, Static Shock, Electro, and Thor. Along with loads of characters that exceed his mountain level attack potency, even though he could be dwarf star level or planet level depending on being good or evil.

You forgot to mention complete evil karma cole from infamous 1 with the use of the Black lightning from triggering a ray sphere twice to empower himself would probably easily put him at a level above the beast I hope that if they ever decide to remake infamous 1 that they would have the beast be a secret boss fight ending after getting nothing but evil karma specifically since he would be more than enough to defeat the beast

I saw Mcgrath and I was thinking about Max Steel

I'm speechless with that ending!! 😂

Cole McGrath is my favorite PlayStation superpowered + electrokinetic characters of all time

This was pretty much the most accurate analisys of Cole MacGrath i´ve ever seen.Nice done.

" cAn He BeAt GoKu ThO"

Canonically, at his peak Kessler Cole was universal+, after using virtually all of his power to travel 100+ years back in time he had enough power to CREATE A NEW FORM OF MATTER!

What's the name of the comic at 11:20? I read first blast and the DC comic of Infamous but this one is different, do you have a link or a name?

Festival of blood is just a story Zeke made up to impress a chick.

_bolts of kinetic enegry, storing it for a stronger blast_ *wouldn't that be potential energy until it's released?*

It’s interesting on how Kessler is ashamed of Cole whenever he puts his life on line, making it sound like he wanted you to do the wrong thing to become stronger near the end of the first game. As I love the good karma endings to both games, it would’ve been nice to see how Infamous 3 would’ve turned out when Cole was the beast. And at the same time, kept that double power we got from the first bad karma ending- not saying you shouldn’t have lost your powers in the second, but the electric color you achieved after using the sphere a second time was much stronger, and darker. Like there was difference I mean.

*please correct my math or me if it's wrong in any way* Augustine had 7 years worth of experience and Delsin overshadowed that 7 years / 4 blast cores = 1.75 years worth of experience for cole in infamous 2 it's, (for the sake of calculations each shard gives half a year's worth) (305 blast shards x 6 months ÷ 12) + (6 blast cores x 1.75) = 163 years worth of experience for infamous 1 & 2 it's (for the sake of calculations the beast drains 65% of cole's powers) ((350 blast shards x 6 months ÷ 12) ÷ 100 x 35) + 163 years = 224.25 years worth of experience cole is one of the most skilled user of electricity in fiction

I miss this series.

if only infamous 1/2 were made in this time so the game could be that much more advance and have possibly way more powers

It would be amazing if they made a new infamous game and had electricity as a dlc power

I remember the first time I bought that game

We want infamous 2 remastered

We need an inFamous 3 where Cole Magrath's story continues alongside Zeke , Kuo , Nix. They can do it I'm sure they can.

I love these games so much. They just fascinate me.

this is what I wish game theory would do they don't worry about games like infamous,Devil may cry and soulcalibur so I love finding stuff like this.

Kessler had time travel powers..who knows…maybe Cole time traveled on the boat after the lightning strike to a much distant future and we get to see him again in the next sequel..hopefully

"fear the demon of empire city and respect the patron saint of new marais"🔥🔥🔥

We gonna show this to the Alex Mercer fans?

We need another infamous game
