Technically? 100% requires a lot of grinding for skill points, which would be dreadfully boring to watch. Since we're playing as Fetch, we're limited to just the neon power, but being limited to "just neon" is like being limited to a chain gun with infinite ammo. They do a couple of non-obtrusive retcons here and there, all of which can be handwaved away by saying we don't exactly know how accurate Delsin's past-reading power is. Specifically the events leading up to her killing her brother, Brent, which led to her capture by the DUP. What's it about?įirst Light is a prequel DLC all about Fetch's past. You don't need Second Son at all to play this, and it's currently standing at a pretty $14.99 on Sony's digital store (i say $10 in the first video, but i was mistaken and must have been confusing it for a sale price). It released in late August 2014, roughly five months after InFamous: Second son. It's InFamous: First Light! It's a stand-alone DLC starring everyone's favorite neon laser shooting junkie, Abigail Walker AKA Fetch. Cut Episode 7: North Island Roundup Episode 8: Hell On Bridges. Cut EVIL VIDEOS Episode 1: If Art Is A Crime. GOOD VIDEOS Episode 1: If Art Is A Crime. However, I'm hoping that by having different co-commentators I will get different reactions, so it might be worth it for big updates. I won't blame anyone for not watching both versions. The two side missions I will show all the content for are the dead drop missions, which provide some nice backstory and such for the game, and the tagging missions, which show off just how fucking good an artist our main character is.Īlso as a fair warning: I will likely be repeating myself a lot during these videos. All side content wil be done as well, but since most of it is the same stuff but slightly different, I won't be showing most of it off. Story missions will be shown off in their entirety. Not until after the game is done though, and there's no M O R A L C H O I C E S in it either, so both will be joining me for that.
To show the full extent of this game, I'm actually going to be playing both the good and evil paths, with Skippy Granola chatting it up as we use our great powers responsibly, and Bobbin Threadbare plotting with me how to get the most out of our powers for ourselves. This third game is a tiny bit better with the evil choices, but not much. Your character can either use your powers to help other people, or you can use them to essentially drown puppies and eat children. There's also M O R A L C H O I C E S in the games. You have to constantly refill your source because using your powers drains it out of you. This is because their powers are all about absorbing a kind of physical matter or energy and controlling it. In it you become a Conduit, which is what they call people with powers in this universe.
InFamous is well-known for being a superhero series done right. As a result, I'm getting two people who's exposure to the series has been minimal so far, Skippy Granola and Bobbin Threadbare. The game provides all the information you need to know right at the beginning and, aside from bonus DLC missions, you don't need any knowledge of the first two games to know what's going on in this one.
Second Son is really good at making sure people who are picking up the series aren't totally lost while playing it. Wait, those are seriously your synopses of the other two games?īasically, yeah.
You beat him in the end of it too, but canonically Cole dies while doing so. In 2011 InFamous 2 came out, and you did the same thing but in a new city because another guy with powers destroys Empire City in the beginning of the game. Your goal was to go around the city, restore power to it to collect new powers, and ultimately fight a dude named Kessler. You played as Cole McGrath, who accidentally explodes a sizable portion of Empire City (legally-distinct-from-but-similar-to New York City) and not only survived but got electricity powers. The first InFamous came out in 2009 and was pretty much the first good original superhero game ever.
If they sound familiar, it's because they also made the good Sly Cooper games. InFamous is a series of superhero games made by Sucker Punch studios.
