Man I wished concrete actually had some use instead of just being there. I know Delsin needed cores or whatever to get certain moves but they could’ve added those after the credits just for fun
I suspect they were pressed for time so the PS4 could have more exclusives early on. I also would have loved the ability to reset DUP structures so you could experiment with concrete more. Otherwise you have to play the bare minimum of side content along the way, and do it post game.
@@aresdotexe yeah that’s the unfortunate part. Honestly it’s a fun game but I wish it was better in a few ways. I wish they brought back those User made missions from the second game because that would’ve been dope
This game sorely needed a new game plus mode. Both for concrete to have a use after finishing the game and because the damn paper trail jackets don't unlock across the game as a whole.
@@Khttvt The power of paper was purely used for mobility, so it wouldn't work well as a power. We also saw wire in concept art, but it was only used from traps, so again, not suited for gameplay. The only one that had combat potential was glass, but by the time that DLC was planned to release, the game had already underperformed and it was cancelled alongside the wire.
i feel like it’s just there for the story and they didn’t really work on it because the only reason delsin needed concrete was because he needed to get the shards out of everyone
It kinda sucks that concrete isn’t colored to your karma. Good karma makes your video power look like an angel, bad karma makes it like a demon. Good karma makes your neon power pink but bad karma makes it different shades of red. Concrete is yellow regardless of your karma.
I wish they would’ve expanded more on concrete like let you turn people into concrete like Augustine does or even have a super move for concrete or be able to make your own concrete soldiers , there’s so much they could’ve done more with this power but sadly didn’t😞
I actually really liked concrete. It just had two crippling flaws and I don't understand why either weren't discussed for the power you have been chasing and you get for beating the entire game. Why was there no ultimate move for it? And why could you only absorb it from dead enemies? No reason for it to be any different than any other
You have the capability to assimilate it from adversaries due to the initial premise of the game, wherein Augustine bestowed upon the Department of Unified Protection (DUP) a portion of her concrete-based abilities, thereby enhancing their efficacy in apprehending conduits.
@@TSCGA I get that. But I don't need to absorb neon powers, data powers, or smoke powers from anyone else in the game. Once you obtain them from Fetch and the other two the first time you can absorb the power from the source. Yet for concrete for whatever reason it can only be from other people with concrete powers. I get from a gameplay reason why they did this but from a story perspective this doesn't make sense at all. Not to mention the lack of an ultimate attack. Literally just let us use the same snake we see the final boss use for one cinematic attack. The game is beaten at this point, what does it matter if it's too strong? Every other attack like this is an instant kill on non boss enemies anyways. They fucked up with the final power set in the game. Simple as that.
I think it’s the best power. It look great and it is really strong. If u use all the upgrades for it with the shard, it will be outstanding. Whether u have good Khama or evil Khama.
@@studentsofdestruction6915 The fact you don't even have a subdue/execute and no karma bomb shows they didn't have time to finish the game how they wanted.
The thing I dont get is that to restore concrete powers, you have to use the guards. Why? Theres concrete everywhere. Why not be able to restore them with the road or something.
I assume it's a balance thing, except you don't get concrete until you've beaten the game so balance doesn't matter anymore. Only other reason I could think of is if power drain has to be tied to specific objects in the environment
I actually searched for this and found out that barely anyone likes concrete and that they think it is trash. In my opinion it is my most favourite out of them all it looks satisfying it is creative it is op at close range and the r1 ability fully maxed is awesome. I just wish they added a ability where you could trap people in rocks just like how augustine does, mathe that could've been the L1 ability rather than it just being an extra glide button but still idc because this ability is epic
Sucks how unfinished concrete was compared to the other powers but man I love this game still like concrete even if it still needs karma skills and aesthetics
yeah the space needle is the only problem, but that's not concrete being broken, it's the environment. All of the things you seem to be complaining about make no negative impact on the game, since you get concrete at the very end of the story, so player's aren't able to shortcut things with concrete. Basically everything you're showing here isn't a problem with the concrete part of the game, it's the environment.
I'm not complaining, I thought it was hilarious. It's just that it's not terribly well balanced. And I'm pretty sure clipping through parts of the environment isn't something the developers intended and was something I easily replicated because concrete's traversal capabilities are redonkulous.
What If they added a karma system. To it and execute turned them to stone and the good karma takedown(I forgot what it was called I think subdue) puts stone handcuffs and covers their legs in stone
Sucks how concrete could have been the best power. It’s already super strong but is sooo underdeveloped. Like no karma bomb, subdue, and everything feels so rushed.
Yeah, I always felt like the final boss fight should have taken place in the village. Like, you have the big rock monster fight in the tower and she leaves to torment the village one more time and you have to stop her, and your karma determines the tone of the fight.
@@aresdotexe i mean that really wouldn't make sense, Augustine's real goal was to protect the conduits and attacking Salton Bay wouldn't really benefit that cause
@@detectivepayne3773 yeah, but she's not exactly all there mentally as her plan to protect conduits involves torture and imprisonment. I could see her snapping and attacking the village.
@@aresdotexe she's perfectly sane, her plan makes sense, she saw dozens of innocent conduits being attacked and killed for just being conduits, she knows that conduits and people don't get along, the way she sees it, they're much safer while imprisoned inside the walls of Curden Cay, the problem is that she experiments on them while inside, probably to make them stronger so they can break so the government gives them more funds so that she can continue protecting them for longer
@@tommoore2012 Actually iirc if you look at trophy data, there are more good karma playthroughs than bad for the games. I think that's how they decided which second game ending was cannon
Its funny because concrete is on the ground but it seems to have amazing air capabilities.
Which makes it twice the fun 😂
@@shadowninja1059 true
It's amazing how they gave you the ability to use it *AFTER* you finished most of the important/interesting stuff
We call that “Prologue”
Just sayin
I still think asthetically, smoke was the coolest power
I agree and shooting out of vents was so satisfying
Smoke was good but video was better personally
I would say neon
I agree but for me it had to be neon
Smoke cool but video do be dope dou
why is this just now showing up in my recommendations? i mean other people are seeing this too so its good to know second son isnt dead lol

Good timing with it being on PSNow now. Finally get to play this again without rebuying it.

IIRC Concrete does recharge itself if you stand still on solid ground. Has been a while since I played, though

Anyone else feel like they didn't complete the moveset with concrete because there's no endgame or replaying missions?
I mentioned this in another comment, but I suspect Sony pressured them for time to get early PS4 exclusives
@@aresdotexe Sounds about right.
Glad to know how broken concrete is 6 years, 2 good, 2 bad and 1 unfinished playthrough later

This game sorely needed a new game plus mode. Both for concrete to have a use after finishing the game and because the damn paper trail jackets don't unlock across the game as a whole.

It feels unfinished imo
@@aresdotexe also true
@Jemil Scamander Nor is it affected by karma. Either aesthetically or mechanically.
i feel like it’s just there for the story and they didn’t really work on it because the only reason delsin needed concrete was because he needed to get the shards out of everyone
Can we appreciate the fact that it's solid ground in stead of falling through it
*for the most part
It kinda sucks that concrete isn’t colored to your karma. Good karma makes your video power look like an angel, bad karma makes it like a demon. Good karma makes your neon power pink but bad karma makes it different shades of red. Concrete is yellow regardless of your karma.
I would have been cooler if it was different shades of yellow, like, brighter the more good karma
Actually Good karma makes Neon power blue and pink (but you’re neon trail is blue) and evil makes it red and pink (neon trail is red)
Wow! I didn’t know that rock climbing glitch! Thanks
My only gripe with concrete is that it doesn’t have an ultimate move

This is getting recommended after the game is free to play, also it’s fun :)
I was thinking about playing it again, but then I remembered it has an unlocked framerate which means 60fps on ps5
When was it free?
The tides of RUclips recommendation have struck again
Man this game was hella fun beat it on two paths bro MEMORIES 😭😭😭
According to my PS5, I put 347 hours into it lol

I hope I’m not the only one who still wants infamous vs [PROTOTYPE]
Hopefully a new infamous game comes out soon if this just got recommended to me
There has been rumours of another infamous coming out but I don’t know if it’s true
Second son
A name I haven’t heard in a long time
Dam man just got recommended this, still wanting a new infamous game
Great power, just wish it was fully completed and had an ulti like the rest. Video is another favorite of mine
most of that could be done using the mega vent glitch (I.e space needle, Augustine tower, etc.)
It better be broken considering there is no karma bomb for this power
