Event Log: 4/20/14 - Winner Take All

For today, I skipped everything in favor of Infamous 2. It has my full attention since it's just that good. I've got two files so I can play around with both ice and fire powers. There are pros and cons to both. The ice launch is probably my most used move but the ultra drain is the best attack in the whole game.

Character design wise, Nix is atrocious and with awful characterization too. I can't take her seriously, lightly, or in general, period.

The game is good at filling the map with things to do. I'm addicted to hunting blast shards and activities pop up everywhere. I feel like a dog running towards the next shiny thing. After getting the static thrust boost, traversal becomes a lot of fun. The less climbing I have to do, the better.

I'm annoyed that there's so many dude with rocket launchers who can hit me with pin point accuracy from hundreds of yards away though. It's like Sucker Punch double downed on these annoying assholes instead of removing them outright. Nothing like getting blasted into a pool of water--instant death.

There's not a lot of difference in terms of gameplay and mission types between Good and Evil. Playing one side is enough to get the full Infamous experience, but since I like the game so much, I'm playing both sides anyways. To this day, I've never paid for any one the Infamous games. I'll probably get Second Son for cheap later in the year.
