    Update coming to include Change of Day, HUD Off, and 30FPS Option.

    HUD off and Change of Day is great. I won't use the other.

      Why would somebody want to reduce the framerate?

      The first two sound fantastic. I think one of my gripes seeing screenshots is that the day always has that purplish sky and everything has an orange-brown tint (where trees maintain their green hue).

        It will be locked in at 30 fps so it will be a smoother game rather than an unlocked framerate the may vary wildly and cause stuttering. Personally it doesn't bother me so much but some are more bothered by it. Here's a good article about it: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/di...ous-second-son.

          Finished the game with good karma this morning. It was a hell of a ride, and despite the repetitive nature of the side quests, I had a blast completing them. Plus, having played the crap out of the first two, I knew that there would be a grind involved, and it never bothered me in the past.

          I completely cleared the DUP out of the city by getting each zone to 0% as well. I'm gonna start up an evil playthrough on expert to try to finish off all of the trophies now, but I highly doubt I'll do all of the side quests this time unless I need some help getting my evil karma to level 5. Shouldn't be too difficult to accomplish that however, as I plan on just mowing down hordes of citizens.

          I'd give the game a solid 9/10.

            I did the same thing getting all the districts to 0%, I think the next time I play through it going the evil route I'll probably do the same thing and avoid most the side things and just focus on murdering everyone I see on the streets lol. Outside of the repetitive side quests the game was pretty solid, I'm sure replaying it while avoiding those things will make the second time through that much more enjoyable.

              Just beat the game, expert mode, no upgrades whatsoever sitting on 204 shards, true hero. Great game. Wondering what to do with shards as they aren't needed. Do they carry over for evil route?

                Spend them on powers. They're fun. The game is going to be pretty easy and manageable no matter what - might as well add some flair to it.

                  Finished the main story with good karma last night. Had a lot of fun with it. Going to try to finish up some of the side quests before doing the other side.

                    The Infamous side of the story is...brutal. Holy crap.

                      I just started the Infamous side a couple days ago, just got to Seattle and dismantled a couple of trailer stations, kicked every hurt civilian I saw, caused mayhem at three rallies and executed a sign-twirler.

                      I like the change in the powers and colors, but so far feeling a bit of a disconnect that he's still on essentially a 'righteous' mission to save Betty and the tribe, and still has the same phone conversations with his bro, yet aside from that does all these heinous things to protesters, musicians, injured civilians, etc.

                      Executing DUP dudes I can understand from a 'rage' standpoint, even the ones that surrender. But the more random mayhem just doesn't seem to fit with his character. I KNOW I don't HAVE to do that stuff....but if you want max karma and the trophies you do have to. Just feels weird. It's gonna suck taking the other two conduits down the wrong road.

                        The further you get the more differences pop up in phone convos and those types of situations. The discontent is still there and its something I've been trying to reconcile myself especially since the Good Side addresses the more pacifist way of anarchy. Once you meet Fetch things click into place, but still after playing the Good choices its hard to go around beat down citizens. I still heal people, but the protesters I will **** with. I only did the others enough to get the trophies.

                        The discontent is a common problem I have with a lot of open world games, though.

                          You know what would be cool?

                          If they made the "bad ending" canon...has any other game series done this? No one besides Mortal Kombat comes to mind..

                          (Spoilered for people still playing who want to speculate about how it will end)

                            Yeah, I'm gonna keep on as I'm sure it gets more interesting as I go. I will be 'bad' for the trophies but as soon as I get them I might chill Delsin out on harming civilians at least. DUP can still get theirs, though!

                              I am taking my sweet time with this game. I am currently 33% through a good playthrough and really hope for some creative DLC.

                              Do you all think we will get DLC?

                                Played this game for a couple hours when it came out, haven't touched it since I'm still way into Dark Souls 2. Need to get back into this soon.
