We need a new infamous game so badly, these games were so cool to grow up with. i loved in the second game how the civilians would start clapping for you and throwing rocks at enemies when your karma was high enough
I still remember playing the bad ending for the first time. When delson goes in the air, I thought "oh he got a flying ability, that's coo..." then realized he was orbital striking, and quickly realized delson became straight heartless after that.
I love how the infamous ending was originally the canon ending, but the true hero ending was so popular that they retconned the lore to make it the new canon.
I was thinking the Conduit Gene survived and the Blast didn't completely wipe every trace of it, I mean the device is artificial so it makes sense to not work 100% and ofc I feel it was weakened but managed to spread like a plague when it got strong enough, that or some Conduits survived but that would make less sense than the other outcome.
The problem with them choosing the lore based on more people completing the good side, is flawed because, in most games with good vs evil, most people will do the good side first by default, even if they wanted to be evil. Because games with both sides have conditioned us to to choose good because that's always the "true" ending with evil being an afterthought.
My theory with that game is the devs all have amnesia from the first PS4 and Xbox One announcement and onwards so they have no idea that the PS4, 5, Xbox One and Series X are a thing so they only know about the PS3 and 360
The thing that gets me about this ending is in the good ending it's implied they have no Idea what happened to Reggie because she asks where he is while he heals her. I guess she just assumes he was wrecklessly killed in the slaughter of other innocents but it's odd to me Betty's so specific about his death in this ending.
@@dylanwhipple9882 Yeah, that was my conclusion too which is what really made me find this all the more funnier when I got to this ending on my second run.
15:58 right when he said "he's got my phone" an ad started with a cell phone ringing, then Liam neison answered to hear "there's a bomb under your seat". Thought it was part of the vid cause I was hanging up laundry just listening. Wasnt until the ad was a minute in that I got suspicious.😂
I love how so much of the dialogue doesn’t make sense if you do the evil ending. Reggie has no reason to be proud of you since you kill civilians on the regular 😂
Maybe because I can't bear to watch kind ole Grandma Betty shaming me like that and never finished another evil run, but I don't remember Delsin straight up murdering everyone in the longhouse. But when you think about it, in a twisted way that's Delsin's mercy... killing everyone quickly before they can die slowly.
That last bit actually got me thinking... if he turned 100% evil, is no doubt he would let then dying slowly. Killing them all instantly seems like a mercy move, probrably a bit rage induced.
I disagreed with the morality system, I did all evil deeds but chose all the good story choices, just to mess with "I'm a terrorist, but a good guy". I think I got the good ending, but can't remember, but I got to be Evil AF (As Friends)
Oh yeah it doesn't matter you can do any choice with any karma. The ending is made by the choices alone, the karma system is there for the looks and the powers besides that, it doesn't influence the story at all. And if you remember the ending of infamous 2 the white chick fought against you in the good ending beside the beast but the black was there for you with your childhood friend.. I can't remember their names it's been years
There is 3 endings, the evil, the good, and the true evil, the ending here was the true evil but of you spare hank on an evil run the ending is just evil with the end cutscene ending with Betty closing the door instead of what happened here
This may sound crazy but when I got the same bad ending, I didn't feel bad at all because I didn't kill innocent people, only those who'd run up and punch me over and over again. Really gonna blame me for defending myself? Smh. XD Edit: aside from the first one, the replies to this comment are so brain dead. People are legitimately accusing me of lying about this for some reason? 😂
if you had delsin killing his own ppl then you definitely killed innocent ppl unless you got the 3rd ending where betty just closes the door on delsin then credits start rolling
@@godzillazfriction Nope, I didn't. They just counted the civilians who run up to you and keep punching you as "innocent". Me killing them so they wouldn't kill me is not me killing innocent people lol Unless you just mean the ending kills but that was out of my control quite a bit before that scene started. All because I didn't wanna let people punch me to death 😂
That 2nd Augustine fight, after I defeated her the game just straight up never let me out of the room and never finished the mission. Did the same second time through. Didn't try a third time. 🙃
The game looked incredible back then and still does today kinda crazy that it’ll soon be 10 years old… feels like just a few years back the game released
I remember wanting the platinum for this game so I had to do the evil route and I felt so bad lmao. I am not made for mean choices in video games, except when it comes to GTA V where I used to just run around and stab people, then run away when I was a kid... But I'm probably not alone in that hehe
I enjoy the Infamous trilogy (and even that weird Festival of Blood Halloween game), but Second Son has some of the most schizophrenic writing I've ever seen in a video game. It could go from being well written and funny or dramatic in one scene to just being laughably, embarrassingly stupid and cringy in literally the very next scene. It was so weird.
Still to today one of the most ruthless choice paths in my opinion, the devs really wanted to make you feel like shit for choosing the asshole path and man... they did a great job 😖
I absolutely love this psychopath playthrough kevduit!! Also, just to let you know, that green building is the Seattle aquarium, the red robins and ferris wheel is a little further down from where you were pointing.
One thing I’ve always loved about the inFamous series was not only do your powers change in color but your looks and clothes change as well depending on far you’ve gone.
The only character I hate is Eugene, not that he's a nerd but the way they've made and presented him as one, he's stereotypical and awful especially to represent us the players. Edit: I also believe the Conduit Gene most likely survived the blast and there was a trace of it & weakened then ended up spreading like a plague when it hit the right time and got strong enough, I might be wrong and something in the game doesnt connect to that but that's just how I feel anyway.
Eugene was a bit of an afterthought (to me). He was "there", but not like Fetch was, where she was built up so much more and interacted in a much better way.
I noticed last playthrough that if you se the Akurans gang in the game, and they shoot you and you defeat them it's neutral but if you instigate the situation by attacking them first and ending them it's considered evil karma. Crazy they thought that deeply
A new inFamous game would be great, but I'd be satisfied with a remaster of Second Son or remake of either the first 2. I feel like given the variety in powers in Second Son, that that would be the best one to show what can be accomplished with the PS5 and perhaps be another game that makes excellent use of the haptics of the DualSense the way that Astrobot did.
I completed this game as a good citizen so seeing this Psychopath Run is amazing. He killed his Granny. 😂 Also I forgot the name of that Boss but she really looks like a Karen. 😂 Sadly they stop doing this kind of game, a fun game.
4:11 Dude called them "fight like cherubim" as if Cherubim isn't one of the most powerful classes of angels in the Heaven and not those chonky babies in Renaissance paintings.
My only critique when it comes to this game is you gain evil karma so much faster than good karma and the abilities you gain from evil karma are way better in combat than good karma.
when i finished the game i went around checking how good the concrete power it wasn't good at all so i just went back to neon to become the flash and then switch to techno to turn invisible and kill dups
Such a magnificent game, focused solely on fun and nothing else. I’ve never asked for a remake of a game until I saw the infamous smoke effects in Ghost of Tsushima: Legends.
It's supposed to show how far Delsin has fallen. I mean at the in his mind everyone he killed was to get the powers he needed and get back to his people. Also his brother just a few days ago sacrificed himself to save him so he could get back to his people and save them and they were spitting on that sacrifice. Now is that a logical or good way of thinking? No of course not, but no one who irl goes around killing a bunch of people to get what they want is in the right mind or thinking straight. So to me it's the perfect infamous run ending.
I mean your killed innocent people and you expect to save your people despite being to far gone now? To me it's perfect because you lost your brother to save them, you almsot died to save them, then you killed hank, you village hates you for being evil despite you sacrificing so much for them, it makes sense to me
The karma in these games is superficial at best. No joke, I tried one round to play even more psychotic than Kev, getting almost to Infamous through the entire game. Then I undid it all with good deeds to get back to neutral (good leaning neutral) right before the final battle. Ending cutscene was white hoodie True Hero Delsin good ending. (After the cutscene the hoodie went back to gray) Despite 90% of the game being mercilessly evil. It's a gimmick at best. Try it yourself. I'm sure the same would happen if tried on good to evil too.
A game mechanic that allows you to gain unique upgrades, story scenes and character aesthetics, is just a gimmick because your allowed to switch your preferred karma?
@@Burns_RED Chill, I don't even like the game that much. I'm just confused about how one of the series main features is seen as a gimmick because they optionally let you switch it up.
I remmeber this was the first game i ever played that i loved so much i 100% the game on infamous and true hero and got all the achievements, it was such a fun experience and srill remains one kf my fa ourites to this day
I 100% this game when it first came out, and yet I don't remember a single thing about it. I can remember most of the story on 1 and 2, but for some reason, I literally barely even recognize this game.
