Fun fact: if you select the "good" poster and then decide to use de ray sphere on the good karma the posters are taken from the walls or vandalized with word like "Lier" "Devil" etc
It's attention to small details like that that make games like inFAMOUS more than worth picking up and makes the world feel more immersive. It's believable.
I'd like to say this was "back when" moral choices actually made some kind of sense, but this game is the only example I remember (for what it's worth, I never got to play the second game) where the evil options weren't Saturday morning cartoon villain levels of pointless evil, so it's probably not so much that games of the time were better at moral choices and more that Infamous just did them exceptionally well. Even the Good Guy choices have an element of sacrifice, actively taking on some kind of added burden to do the right thing, not just picking the obviously good option for easy glory. Like, the choice with the trash robot about to lob explosives at you, or the one with the cops on the bridge, or the one with the Reapers fighting the police, all of the evil choices are the smart, tactically effective option for you personally, though they cost lives. It's not just evil for the sake of being evil, even if it's ultimately counterproductive to your goals. I can't help thinking that if this game were made today, the choices would've been more like "Fight the trash golem normally (with no initial health loss to put you at a disadvantage) or somehow take control of it to go around stomping on innocent people for five minutes," "Fight the cops on the bridge or slaughter the civilians for fun and then fight the cops," "Fight the Reapers while the police happily draw fire from you by catching bullets in their mouths or butcher the cops while they're being shot at and the Reapers will consider you friendly until the end of this mission, which will never be brought up again."
Sometimes choices are tough for you to decide, even in InFamous games, but choosing the right path will make you a hero, just like how Cole Macgrath is walking the path of a hero, deciding to use his powers for good and to protect the innocent from the bad guys and I love Cole's Heroic side better.
Yeah that game was great when it came to appearances slowly changing over time due to alliances, age, power, choices, etc, really felt like you were on a long journey that actually mattered.
@@LumaSloth That's not the point of the comment. Pedestrians constantly get in the way when you're fighting so you accidentally can hit them instead of the enemy which not only affects your karma but can make you lose a fight.
Its like: the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. How many more lives will the 6 doctors save over the lives only trish would save as a doctor
Being evil is easier but it feels so good to be a hero
I loved it when Cole said “someone had to help them” very noble of him
I am good karma
@@devoncampbell7073 How it should be

Epic shit

With how wildly your appearance changes on the evil path I should at least have an electric halo above my head for the good path.
Captain Sam G Agreed! I'd love an electric halo!!!!
Evelyn L. Like Fable 2's Good Character appearance style only made of electricity lol
Yeah that game was great when it came to appearances slowly changing over time due to alliances, age, power, choices, etc, really felt like you were on a long journey that actually mattered.
Naa that’s to much Zeke said you had an aura of goodness I would like something like that like you were glowing a little bit
Captain Sam G nah. The point is staying human. You wanna have fun gameplay or a virtual friend and lover?
It's feels great to be the good guy
Agreed
Micheal gironimo nah.
darktennisball exactly
Absolutely
Yes!!
the Karma gain screens needs to be made into templates so they can be used as potential memes.
Oh yeah. It would be so cool. But the problem is: Only few people would understand it, and this game isn‘t popular as far as I know.
I find funny how almost every bad choice begins with "I could just fry the guy..."😂
13:14 I laughed way more than I should’ve when that happened! 😂🤣
He had all the time to evade and chose to tank it 😂
11:40 guy in the back has a seriouse case of boogie fever
I'm tempted to get the poster that lets the people fear me. Maybe then they will stop getting in my way during a fight.
i wanna choose both posters:all my enemies should fear me but the people will look at me as their protector
They only fight you if you are evil
@@LumaSloth That's not the point of the comment. Pedestrians constantly get in the way when you're fighting so you accidentally can hit them instead of the enemy which not only affects your karma but can make you lose a fight.
It really does feel good to be a good guy because doing evil things does give me worried
"Oh crap"
Cole McGrath - 2009
I am a bit lazy right now so i don't want to re play it just for the good karma, (i have played infamous before), love it
As a kid I'd usually pick the evil choices but replaying as an adult I’m always inclined to pick the good choices.
As a kid i think i was pretty good but when i got to the ray sphere option i may have misunderstood it and had my karma level go straight to evil lol
lol 13:15 Punished for Outsmarting
I love when I play good on this game. 😇
I remember using energy leech on random civilians but then my game broke
Those poor innocent civillians.
Evil is too powerful for this game😈😈
Embrace the darkness
The Good Karma Eagle broke your game in an attempt to save the many other civilians.
The rising of infamous good karma
Being a hero was always the right choice instead of being a villain
>The only karmic event where Cole doesn't lay things out for himself is the one where Kessler does it
I'm thinking kino
I will Choose the good path
Cole is a real hero. Change my mind if you dare.
I love this game so damn much
I attacked the crowd from the outside and somehow got the positive outcome
Danver Santos You did kill enough. Go back and kill more.
Danver Santos Late on this comment but, if you actually hit a civilian instead the riot the Evil Action occurs.
My future is looking bright
Choose your side Good or Evil
this game is good but infamous 2 is my all time favourite
When it came to closing the valves I chose evil lol
What happens if you get max good karma and use the ray sphere?
It locks u in negative karma permanently 🤦🏾♂️
@@jahmelbrewster4568 pretty dang wack
@@undeadedgy8436 its bullshit honestly if ur going up against one of the most powerful enemies in Cole's universe y wouldn't u use the sphere???
@@jahmelbrewster4568 Because it would’ve
end up killing many more innocent people
@@KingTylex ok... but ur still fighting the most powerful person in the game at that time
Well the town is not big enough for both of us
Hi new to this channel and I was wondering if you want more content for this?
I love superhero ❤️
Bro I can’t believe that not saving trish and saving the doctors was the bad choice, I’m so confused, I’m mad that was the bad choice
Its like: the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. How many more lives will the 6 doctors save over the lives only trish would save as a doctor
13:16 is die ? ._.
No, just got really low
on health, grey screen
means that in Infamous
Nice
Good path
9:33 ayo? 🤨
Hi Captain Sam G! I was wondering if you have an email I can contact you at?
When Cole took the 1 shard why didn't he just ask the guy if he could have the rest in his locker? It's not like he needs them.
The guy wouldn't give it to him. He prefered to keep the stash to negotiate with the next powered up freak.
Whos here in 2022?
Remember Justice
We are coimc books good karma
Nothing like the old shit
Am I the only one who doesn’t remember the faces being that poorly animated
