Why inFAMOUS: Second Son Will Be the First Game I Platinum

Devoun from Twinfinite writes: "inFAMOUS: Second Son is my crack. My tattered-jean-vest, beanie wearing, neon powered addiction. It rocks me gently into a flow state, to which I wake up stupified and confused. Hours disappeared while I was playing it, but if you asked me to have an opinion about the game I would just wind-up saying: “It’s really good.” It’s even deserving of the five Austin laid on it, but inFAMOUS: Second Son isn’t an interesting game, or even a memorable one. It’s flawed in a lot of ways, yet all the same, it executes on the one thing Sucker Punch’s ad campaign promised by creating a game that is simple, immediate, and achievable.

It was my first ever platinum and i don't even are about trophies/achievements anymore. Pretty easy to get.

NewMonday4484d ago

me too!
the closets I came before was with Vanquish(the best TPS last gen), I did everything needed in the main campaign and finished in the hardest difficulty, but the extra challenge mode was impossible for me.

I hate it when they made trophies/achievements about impossible dexterity, grinding and doing mundane stuff over and over. developers should just leave some stuff as off-the record Easter Eggs.

mochachino4484d ago (Edited 4484d ago )

I like that trophies exist but I'm not willing to do anything boring to get a trophy so I never platinum a game....I platinum'd Infamous in a week (was off from work).

I don't know why but I couldn't stop playing, the gameplay is amazing. It's weird cause nothing else was particularly great about it but I just couldn't put it down. If they add to the story, character development and side missions it can be a 9.5+/10 game imo.

Gameplay is a lock, It never felt tedious.

I hope more games have more easily achievable trophies, it makes me like them more.

BattleTorn4484d ago

I have had XBL membership for 10years. And a grand total of about 28,000G.

I barely ever cared for achievements. But there's something about Platinum trophies that has me hooked as of late.

I love each 6 of my plats so dearly.

incredibleMULK4484d ago

17 platinums.
infamous
infamous2
mafia 2
uncarted 1-3
kz3
mw2
enslaved oddessy to the west
terminator salvation
darkness 2
crysis 1-3
resistance 3
damn i forgot the rest.

mochachino4484d ago

As a 360/PS3 owner I much prefer trophies because each trophy has an identifiable value and degree (often of challenge) whereas achievements points get lost in the aggregate score.

When you look at your achievements score you can't tell whether you got a lot of valuable achievement like 100 points or a bunch of 20s. When I look at my trophy summary I can see how rare a gold trophy is or platinum trophy is, etc.

RedSoakedSponge4484d ago

@incredibleMULK

played Terminator Salvation for an easy Platinum huh? :P

RedSoakedSponge4484d ago

i think its cos you dont really get anything extra for 100% on an xbox. its nice to get that extra platinum reward when you 100%. that extra satisfaction :P

also cos its a separate kind of trophy, its easy to see how many you have 100%. On Xbox, it doesnt make it obvious how many games you have completed which is a huge shame.

GameSpawn4482d ago

16 Plats myself:
Assassin's Creed Black Flag
Assassin's Creed II
Demon's Souls
Heavy Rain
inFAMOUS
inFAMOUS 2
inFAMOUS Second Son
Jak and Daxter
Just Cause 2
Metal Gear Solid 3
Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time
Saint's Row 4
Saint's Row: The Third
Sly 1
Sly 2
The Saboteur

Saboteur was my first. I think inFAMOUS was second and Just Cause was third.

I'm close to having plats for a couple other games, but I just haven't gotten around to that 1 last trophy needed either out of loss of interest or no interest to begin with because I know it is ridiculously impossible.

Trophy difficulty 1-4: I usually don't get these games, but if I do Platinum/100% is usually natural progression.
Trophy difficulty 5-7: I will attempt for Platinum/100% until I get frustrated or loose interest.
Trophy difficulty 8-10: I don't even care for Platinum/100%, I just play the game until I finish the story and what trophies I get I get and anything I don't I'm not going to even make an attempt.

BF4 was my first next-gen platinum. Infamous will be my second :)

Wescyde4484d ago (Edited 4484d ago )

It will be mine too, crazy. People can say its because its easy and all, plenty of games were easy but not fun or felt to much grinding to get. Infamous is fun and the trophies are easy to get, I am gonna get it because i like playing this game and its basically a bonus

LexHazard794484d ago (Edited 4484d ago )

Off topic just for Lukas since seems to think hes the man up in here and shit! Dude whats up? You dont like when I use exclamations! Its just me getting to the point! I asked you a question and you tell me to mind my own business you shit!

It was simple dude! You said you turn off friend notification when you dont want Interruption when your gaming sometimes!

All I said was if it was that bad seeing it as its only a few seconds! No need to be a douchebag bag about it! Dude you probably got pull here and I'll probably get alot of disagrees, but im not here to make friends!

Im here to give my opinions and argue my points on certain topics! No fanboy shit! Which is something you can never say dude! Its easy to talk shit online because your a pussy! But hey I'll be at PAX this yr if you ever want to meet! Hey look at that an exclamation brigade just for you! LMAO!!

Edit: Lmao some more!

Now on topic sort of...Ive never got a platinum trophy in 8 yrs of owning a PS3! And I dont think its gonna change on PS4!

GarrusVakarian4484d ago (Edited 4484d ago )

Ahahahaha.

Oh man....Wow. Did you take your meds today?

LexHazard794484d ago (Edited 4484d ago )

Now I need meds, is that a snipe at people who take meds for bipolar disorder or any mental health?

I dont need meds, just said what I needed to dude, you cry to damn much, I was laughing the entire time I typed it. Btw did you like your exclamations? I did just for you!

I'll just leave it at that dude no need to keep going!

Edit: Btw, id like to apologize to the N4G community for having to read all this BS! Just because someone got offended I asked a question!

johndoe112114484d ago

What the heck is wrong with you??? This is not the time or place to air your grievances with him.

LexHazard794484d ago

Is that your friend or something dude? You should do like he told me..."and mind your business"!

joab7774484d ago

Cuz it takes 3 days...lol!

Now, number 2 should be Dark Souls 2. Seriously, its much easier than the first

ObiWanaTokie4484d ago

i agree devoun, 100% with what you just wrote

GuruMeditation4484d ago

Strangely it's my first plat as well and I NEVER have the time to bother with such things. I guess I was pretty invested this time around lol

RedSoakedSponge4484d ago

took me 3 days. not much of a challenge tbh.

Kalowest4484d ago

The games really short :( and the plat was very easy!

-Foxtrot4484d ago (Edited 4484d ago )

Probably because it's doesn't have crappy multiplayer trophies the devs know the majority of their fanbase will never get but still decide to add them anyway.

AC4 - Reach level 55....yeah because thats going to happen, especially when, no offence to those who like it, is pretty crap.

The PS4 can separate trophies from DLC/add ons so I don't see why they can't separate the online trophies so people can still get the platinum

BattleTorn4484d ago (Edited 4484d ago )

I'm so upset with the games I have 100% in the Singleplayer, and am so far from Platinum due to Multiplayer trophies.

I won't get ACIV, Tomb Raider, COD:Ghosts, or Killzone:SF.

Killzone is doable, tho. But Ghosts goddamn it! I don't even like the game that much, but it infuriated me the trophies they put in the Extinction mode. Some of them are ridiculous, some require you to essentially beat it alone (or boost) - other require you to do it with 4players, or not fail a single challenge.

Thief also pissed me off. complete the game in custom difficulty (everything off, no killing, no detection)

I think it's ingenious for Sucker Punch to rip a page out of the movie-tie-in games and make their platinum easier to achieve!

avengers19784484d ago

I have all the multiplayers trophies in KZSF, just trying to work through the rest of single player ATM still need a few of those.

Lilrizky4484d ago (Edited 4484d ago )

Don't get me started on Ghosts.

While granted, that AC 4 and BF4 were grind-fests in regards to the MP trophies, Ghosts was such a bitch. I've platinumed every COD since MW2 and the extinction mode is sooo annoying. Particularly due to the challenge one.

Any trophy based on luck gives me the sh*ts.

P.S. second sons is my 5th PS4 platinum and was such a joy to get :) attempting dead nation and mercenary kings atm!

@avengers1978 I'm the complete opposite. got all the SP, still gotta get the MP ones lol.

joab7774484d ago

CoD is easy...multi trophies are a breeze. Killzone...uhh...not so much. I started playing DCUO after maxing two classes. Oh well.

_FantasmA_4484d ago

I have 2 or 3 games that I could just get platinums on but I will purposely leave one trophy out so I can't get the platinum. I used to spend alot of time getting plats but its a waste of life. I think I have enough platinums to know that it takes away from playing games just for fun. It counts for nothing in real life and I'm not talking crap to those of you who collect them but I have some PSN friends who get like 1-3 a week and have hundreds of them. Its impossible to be healthy and have a life with hundreds of platinums. At least the PS3, PSV, PS4 let you get platinums regardless of extra content. You don't get crap on Xbox except a percentage and even if you %100 a game, as soon a map pack comes out, your now screwed with %72.

LexHazard794484d ago

Agreed, Fox Trot. The main reason why I havent gotten a platinum is most games I play have online multiplayer trophies. I just dont have the time. But im happy with the ones I get for beating a game. Maybe Infamous will be my first aswell.

avengers19784484d ago

Super easy, the hardest one for me to get was the cough drop, and once I actually tried to get it I did, in about 30 secs

They really need to

Go off the evil ending off Second Son

Delsin absorbs all those powers

Revealed he’s the real Beast and John in Infamous 2 was just an anomaly created by timelines being messed with by Kessler.

Cole vs the Real Beast

gold_drake726d ago

quite honestly, i dont remember a whole lot about 2 amymore, but i absolutely hated the guy in second son haha.

chicken_in_the_corn725d ago

It would make more sense to go off the evil ending of 2 and the good ending g of SS where Cole is The Beast.

Cacabunga725d ago

Doesnt make any sense calling second son 2 as infamous 3..

OtterX726d ago

Ha, yea Delsin was obnoxious.

I wouldn't mind another new character, but somehow bring Cole into the story.

We can just pretend like Delsin never existed. :)

thejigisup725d ago

Everyone that age is obnoxious. It's been years and is like to think delsin has grown

neutralgamer1992725d ago

Until we wait for a potential new entry it would awesome to have infamous collection for PS5

RaidenBlack725d ago

Umm ... how about this?
First we get the Tushima sequel(coz its most rumored)
Then a new Resistance (need new PS SP FPS)
Then a totally new IP (new IPs are always interesting)
And then a new inFamous?

Pepsi_Man3000725d ago

resistance is insomniac I think

xHeavYx725d ago

Can we also get a complete remaster of InFamous 1 and 2?

fr0sty725d ago

Gimme a new Warhawk and MAG while we're at it.

DivineHand125725d ago

I had a great time with the second son. Never got to play the originals and hope they get remastered one day.

DazaMc725d ago

The graphics were amazing, I got the platinum on that one. Very good.

ChasterMies725d ago (Edited 725d ago )

If I had a choice between another Infamous game and another Spider-Man game, I choose Spider-Man. Sony should spend its resources on its winners.

Tacoboto725d ago (Edited 725d ago )

Infamous was such a winner its studio was given the freedom (after 3 titles + their expansions) to do a new IP with GoT, just like with Sly Cooper before infamous.

I'd welcome a 4th title even more than another Spider-Man, it'd be exciting what they could do with new powers fit for the hardware outside the limits of a licensed superhero game.

jznrpg725d ago

Spider-Man is guaranteed and is made by Insomniac so why not both as Sucker Punch would make Infamous.
