Re: Infamous (by Sucker Punch) PS3

Im over 25% done and I still can't glide. I can rail slide though

I've found shards to add another electrical notch then it starts all over again. I must've done this about 3 or 4 times already.

When you get that concentrated beam .... it drains all the extra power you have at once... the electro bombs do too but one at a time

Grinding on the train tracks is a pretty sweet and efficient way to get around town, that's for sure.

I healed some guy lying in the street and as he gets up he has the nerve to trash me. I can't remember what he said exactly but I really wanted to pummel him. I showed heroic restraint!

LOL. Just push it all deep down inside, and let it build up for when you play through again as evil Cole

Re: Infamous (by Sucker Punch) PS3

anyone else have the demo freeze up? I d/l'd the demo last night, and now maybe i shoulda restarted the ps3, but dang...i was upset....anyone else try the demo to have it freeze on them? or before i buy the game is anyone having it freeze on them?

afgter it froze i didnt try it again, i went back to mlb 09 lol....what i did get into the demo it was a riot! im loving it, but if its got freezing issues, im not buying it....ill probably trade resident evil 5 in for infamous if i get it...RE5 wasnt exactly what i was hoping for, just my opinion...just hopin the freeze was a fluke

Re: Infamous (by Sucker Punch) PS3

I typed up some of the stuff from the Strategy guide about the Powers. For those that don't want to read this stuff in advance, then skip it. I paraphrased and shortened some things. If this is against the TOS then delete please.


Neutral Powers

Thunder Drop – this doesn’t cost any power to use although it’s only 50% effective if you drop from roughly one floor. It’s fully used when dropping from 2+ stories. The second and third upgrades don’t increase the damage – just the blast radius.
<O
Reduce Damage – This is your defense. Level 1 – 10% damage reduction. Levels 2 and 3 are 20% and 30% respectively.
<O
Melee – Cheap to upgrade but only useful for short range combat. You start with 100 damage points and boost it by 50 points with each upgrade. Combos and finishing moves are random and invoked by just pressing the melee button in sequence while fighting.
<O
Drain – This affects how long it takes for you to drain energy to power up. Basic rate is 72 points per second (I think Cole starts with 180 but can be maxed out at 360). Upgrading makes it faster. The pure Karmic upgrade (Hero of Infamous) will actually give you 10 seconds of unlimited Energy when used.
<O
Polarity Wall – This is a line of defense that costs no energy to use and when upgraded, actually turns an opponents’ attack into energy for yourself. Only two upgrades and is unlocked by doing a certain mission (Light in the Tunnel). More important for evil side.
<O
Touches – Pulse Heal is good karma. Bio Leech is bad karma no matter who you use it on. Arc Restraint shows mercy (good karma) but restraining someone and then killing him is big evil karma.
<O
Precision – Complete the Light in the Tunnel Mission and this invokes a slow motion, sniper view allowing you to use your lightning bolt effectively. This can’t be upgraded and it costs a high amount of energy to use.
<O
Lightning Storm – Unlocked by completing the mission Vengeance. No upgrades but massive damage and great for using against large groups of enemies. After launching the attack, you can use the sixaxis controls by tilting your controller to direct the bolt towards the enemies.
<O
Good Powers<O</O

<O
Lightning Bolt – when upgraded it causes more damage AND actually can recharge yourself. Costs 12,000 XP to get third level.
<O
Shockwave – This is short range and doesn’t cause much damage. Upgrades don’t increase the damage either, just the blast radius. One upgrade is considered good enough as that gives you reverse magnetism and the bad guys will float in the air when hit with it making them easy targets.
<O
Overload Burst – Exclusive to the Good side and is upgraded and acquired simply by doing the side missions (each level needs 5 side missions completed). Its basically a very powerful lightning bolt that can be aimed and will chain electricity across conductive surfaces which can flush enemies.
<O
Shock Grenade – Recommended to upgrade when you can. Need to complete the “High Ground” mission to acquire. Lower level upgrades don’t inflict that much more damage but do increase the knockdown time for the opponents. The final level upgrade goes from 600 to 1000 points of damage and weak opponents are automatically restrained.
<O
Megawatt Hammer – This inflicts 400 points of damage regardless of the level upgrade. A versatile weapon that allows you to redirect rockets and almost laser pinpoint your targets. Unlocked by completing “Playing Hero”.

<O
Evil Powers

Lightning Bolt – Can not use it to recharge yourself but the evil bolt will inflict more damage than the good counterpart. Upgrades allow for electrical explosions that can be chained and hurt enemies around it as well. Head shocks with a level 3 upgrade are lethal.
<O
Shockwave – Doesn’t do much damage as a direct weapon but this is different than the good version. When upgraded, can electrify enemies and even cars (3<SUP>rd</SUP> level). Items that are electrified can pass that on to other opponents causing more damage. Once fully powered, electrify cars will cause them to explode.
<O
Arc Lightning – Exclusive Power to the Evil side. This is unlocked by doing the side missions (5 missions equals one level). This is a lightning bolt that isn’t that great initially but when upgraded can be used to hit unlimited enemies and even cause them to explode.
<O
Shock Grenade – The evil power requires you to be a lot more accurate to inflict damage. The good version is one big blast. The evil shock grenade is a series of smaller explosions. You need to complete “Higher Ground” for this.
<O
Megawatt Hammer – Similar to the shock grenade, the Evil Megawatt Hammer has a small cluster of mini-Rockets that accompany it toward its target. Each upgrade gets you more mini-rockets. Complete “Playing Hero” for this. Ideal for boss fights and big enemies.

Does it explain how to beat the "nemesis revealed" part?

It probably does but I don't want to look. I refuse to look at any mission help ahead of time for fear of spoilers. I have just looked at the powers and some basic stuff. Sorry.

Re: Infamous (by Sucker Punch) PS3

Well that one is going to be a head scratcher for a minute

Is that still in the first half of the game?

Sorry. Reading about weapons is cool but I don't want to read about the missions ahead of time and the strategy that goes with it. I like to die on my own.

Re: Infamous (by Sucker Punch) PS3

Yeah.... right at the end of the first 25%

Its some boss battle

Some weird stuff happens up to that point, lol

I'm at 23% and just beat that part, AND got the ability to glide, woo!

Here's how to beat the boss:

Spoiler

You just have to keep zapping her while you run around. Eventually she'll fall to the ground with a green cloud around her... run up to her and you'll grab her. You then have to line up the blue ball that appears near your hand with the grey colored on on her body (while repeatedly tapping "X". Once you do this, you'll then have to keep hitting "X" and line that blue ball up again with a grey one away from her body... essentially pulling the plugs out of her skin that are pumping in the tar.

Re: Infamous (by Sucker Punch) PS3

I know it sounds strange that I have the strategy guide but don't want to use it. I got the guide free when I bought the game. They had 25 free ones to give away. Normally I never buy them. Sorry if that was confusing earlier.
