Saturday morning i awake on my friends couch i am geeked, i wake him cause he had told me he was going to buy infamous early from a local store. So after giving him a few of my notorious atomic elbows he awakes and we make our way downtown, Once downtown the store says the shipment hasn't came yet. Fast forward after walking around downtown a few times and a few smoothies later, my friend got his hands on Infamous.
To start the story in infamous is really good adds well to the immersion, the progression is well paced. They foreshadow in the beginning how powerful you can later become and then bounce you to a low level of thunder power. They begin throwing the lowest level of enemy at you and it progresses up to the conduits some of you may have seen in the demo.
After collecting about 50 blast shards and around a dozen dead drops my opinion is this, Infamous is not the begin all end all to free roam hero games. It feels much like the old spiderman games felt on PS2 a great hero free roam, but with the power of the PS3 to back it and sucker punch's developing skills to boot. Its not to difficult and its not to easy. But after conquering most of the first area of the game i can say its worth a day one buy to those who are looking for a free roam adventure and its well worth the 9s that most review sites are giving it.
Now i just have to wait for amazon to deliver my copy, Happy Memorial day heros.
Pragmata has sold 1 million copies in two days, Capcom has announced.
I didn't know it came out last Friday, or I would have bought the game. I will try again for this upcoming weekend.
Im really digging it. It reminds me of games from the PS2 era, not visually or how it plays, but like the spirit of it. If you were around for that golden age of gaming, you’ll get what I mean when you play this.
Have you tried Kanitsu-Gami: Path Of The Goddess (also Capcom)? That feels like a PS2-era Capcom game.
Agreed! The art style is amazing in that game. I bought it immediately after I played the demo but haven't started it lol
The next thing I'm mine when I've had my fill of crimson desert. A nice linear action game to contrast the open ended 😗👌
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has now become the second title to win Game of the Year at all five major awards shows.
It just wasn't for you in that way i guess. Can't really argue with it when it wins all the awards and it's the highest rating by players of all time
I thought this game was a load of rubbish. Trying too hard to be art(sy) by people who don’t really understand art but want to make it look like they do. Found it obvious and shallow and just not a fun game. Just seemed like every relentless second they were clutching at trying to feed this superior narrative… the irony being that’s kind of what I’m doing now… maybe that’s art imitating art….
Didn't know the Golden Joystick fan votum was considered one of the "major awards"?
I always thought it's "only" the Big Four - VGA, Bafta, GDC and DICE.
Nonetheless, congrats to Clair Obscur!

mmm...now i want a smoothie!
Vanilla-Banana would be awesome with a Wake & Bake spliff.
Oh..back on topic, yeah, inFAMOUS is pretty damn good.I was sold as soon as the demo confirmed smooth, fluid controls.
Keep it short and simple, and straight to the point. I like the part where you gave him the atomic elbows.
Good read, just confirmed my need for it :)
That's not very far into the game at all. I liked your short and sweet review(?) but maybe at least get to the rail/wire-grinding level up before judging. At the point you were at you dont really feel like an bad ass yet.
Have fun, im really enjoying the game and the only thing i don't like is the sewer mission. Unfortunately those are also the missions you get your new abilities from.
just playing the demo left me wanting to play more, the feel to play with that type of power, lightning grenades?, graphics could have been better, but just having great game play, for me is good..
and ya,, it deserves better scores.
get the game!!!!
