inFAMOUS (The Series)

[NO_HEART_XIII 312]

The point of inFamous is to make choices from the very beginning and decide whether or not you want to be good or evil. If they made a game entirely about being evil, that would ruin that. Then again, it would be interesting enough to maybe at least play a DLC mission post-Evil side campaign where you get an extra ending and get to spend some time being a true inFamous villain. A full game only being a villain, though, probably isn't going to happen.

But when the sequel (Second Son) is solely based off of the good ending, it just makes you feel like the evil ending (which had so much more story potential in my opinion) was pointless, which it was. With Infamous 1, the outcome didn't change much at all depending on your actions, so it didn't really matter what happens in Infamous 2, because it still could have went either way. The endings in InFamous 2 were super different & the sequel was only built off of one of those endings, leaving you to wonder what could have been had they gone with the other. The title is a bit misleading, because at the end of the day, you're the good guy, even if you chose to be the bad guy, because they can only go off one ending & they chose the good one. There is no point in having two endings, if you are just going to make one not canon.

Like I said. DLC. Nuff said.
