INFAMOUS 2 TATTOO FULL

Since childhood I have always been drawn to anything marked as ‘limited’, ‘special’ or ‘rare’.

Instead of the full featured bundles, South African retailers will only receive the watered down ‘standard’ special edition version of each game (in case you missed it, we are giving away a ‘special edition’ copy of inFAMOUS 2). Two prime examples are that of inFAMOUS 2 and Gears of War 3. Despite this it would appear that we are often forced into grasping the shortest stick in the bunch when it comes to limited and special edition versions of video games. Uncapped Internet along with speciality video game stores and events have gone a long way in placing South Africa on the world map of video game playing nations. If you’re feeling particularly heroic/evil and want to get up to speed in time for Second Son, there should be nothing stopping you.The video game industry in our beloved country has made many large strides over the last several years. Since launch, the game has received PlayStation Move support (which holds up surprisingly well) as well as a standalone expansion dubbed Festival of Blood. It may not have the impact of its predecessor yet does enough to engage the player and add new dynamics the gameplay system. Though there are things to complain about, inFAMOUS 2 is still a great game. Though it helped to increase the sequel’s lifespan considerably, the limited range of tools and lack of advanced guidance led to waves of sub-par user levels, very few of which came even close to match the stock game quality.

Though some will beg to differ, the game’s User-Generated Content feature was also a bit unnecessary. Featuring in the original inFAMOUS, it encouraged players to kill their enemies using special moves and environmental hazards. For some reason, Sucker Punch had also removed the Stunt list. Blast Cores were still scattered everywhere and even though there were abilities to help locate them, the whole process seemed needless. Minus the new “Dead Drops” – just carrier pigeons with tape recorders – collectibles hadn’t really changed either. Instead of feeling like an emergent part of the overall gameplay experience, side missions were too often laborious and sometimes essential if you needed to unlock certain powers and bonuses. However, in terms of optional content, it was still a little disconnected. Enemies were varied and often provided the perfect level of challenge too.Īcross the board, inFAMOUS 2 delivered a number of effective updates. New powers made their way into the mix, making navigation even quicker and combat more diverse. Gameplay, on the other hand, did see a few notable improvements. The Karma system also made a return and, even though it hadn’t evolved much, still gave a convincing reason to start a second playthrough to witness both story endings. The main takeaway however was the introduction of “Conduits”, this concept that a minority of the population have powers waiting to be awakened. Throughout the game you encounter a number of key characters, some of which have powers of their own. In search of new powers and a way to thwart this powerful foe, he and Zeke travel to New Marais, a southern American city likened to New Orleans. Leading directly on from the events of the original, Cole narrowly avoids death as an entity known as “The Beast” manifests and begins obliterating Empire City. However, when inFAMOUS 2 was first shown to the public at Sony’s E3 2010 press conference, the overall reaction was mixed to say the least.Īs with the original inFAMOUS, the sequel’s main strengths lay within both narrative and gameplay. With widespread acclaim, it’s no surprise that Sucker Punch immediately got to work on a sequel. More than four years after its release, inFAMOUS still holds up remarkably well is definitely one of the best PlayStation exclusives to ever hit the market. Combining these elements with a suite of electric-based powers, the creators of Sly Raccoon had struck gold once again. Through the game’s Karma system, players took up the narrative reins, steering lead protagonist Cole McGrath towards good or evil.įurthermore, the game also managed to refine many of the mechanics and features championed by leading third person shooters, Gears of War and Uncharted. Developed by Sucker Punch, the ambitious open-world title told an original story of a regular man bestowed with extraordinary powers. The original inFAMOUS is without doubt one of the best super-hero games ever devised.
