While some of the side quests were a tad annoying, the main story was pretty fun. What didn't you like?
"...wanted to enjoy the first game...", let me fix this for you. "Like I ENJOYED the first game"...surely you meant that.
@sadboring: I almost always choose to be the hero rather than the asshole. Because in games with 'morality' choices, anything other than being a hero reads/comes off as just being a silly prick for prick's sake.
@Sadboring:
I do. I have an almost compulsive need to be good in every game that I have the option to do so.

@sadboring, I usually play through the game twice, once good, once bad. The good is usually the first playthrough.
Looks like it will be like I expected: silly. But who cares as long as I get cool powers. 'Morality' systems in games are always overblown with the choices they present you. I wasn't really expecting a superhero game to break that mold.
I keep buying open world games with moral choices and I hate them. So this time around, I won't purchase this.

The evil oprion is almost allways some combonation of Psycho, Snydly Whiplash, and cat rapist. It is almost never scripted well or in a way that is not two dimentional. The good option is not allways better, but it is more often better.

who writes this shit? korean liquor store owners? evil is personified by a black, chaotic looking person and good by a clean asian person? fuck me.

Complete saint on the first play through, ruthless bastard on the second play through. Every time. And if I accidentally pick the evil choice on my good run, it annoys the shit out of me and usually I'll restart the mission or whatever.
Anyways, I'm mega excited for this. The first Infamous is one of my favourite games and this looks better in every way. Everyone should check out the video on GTTV for more info about it:

Lots of cool footage and some talk about the choices and powers. Looks awesome!

Actually the binary morality system wasn't that bad in Infamous1. You had 2 completely different playthroughs. I like that a lot as I don't need to play through the game a hundred times and remember every decision I made to get 100% of the game.
I don't need more in an action title.
From the videos Infamous2 will be just pure pwnage. I already loved the first one and this looks even better.

OOOoooh, Cole sounds a bit like Martin Sheen there. I am into that. I am also LOVING the powers. I didn't expect the morality to be that great, but this is pretty damn ridiculous and heavy-handed. Are those ladies real? Figments? I guess you could still have sex with a figment. I just hope the environments and enemies are a little more diverse. I am playing through the first one now and really like it, but the enemies are a little boring and the missions are a little boring and the environments are a little boring as well. Reminds me of GTAIII actually insofar as it is pretty damn grey and not too inspired overall. Hopefully inFamous 2 will be like Vice City. :-)
I usually just do what I want to do with out worrying about whether the game see's it as good or bad. Main problem is offering you a good and bad option and ignoring the obvious better solution. "Your locked inside a burning house. You can put out the flames with your friends blood or beat your self to death with a fire extinguisher." Can't I just put out the flames with the fire extinguisher? Mass Effect 2 was full of that crap. Tell the quarians to go to war and die or tell them to wait for death.....uhhh niether.
Of course it's blatant. I wouldn't want it any other way. It really wouldn't have the comic book feel. It would be pointless and boring with protagonists that are just okay and antagonists that are just slightly obnoxious and can't take a joke.
Let me guess...you liked Prototype better? :/
Anywho. I'm stoked for this game but man, the VO work sounds like Martin Sheen and I don't know if I like that.

@Nate: Exactly. If they modeled 'evil' after, say the Lawful Evil of D&D, then it would make for some interesting choices. Instead we get the 12 year old bad boy rape fantasist Chaotic Evil "I do what the fuck I want" chocies. And still they expect we carry a heroic story forward.
Hmm...I might stamp the puppies balls...as long as its not a forever stamp..I wouldn't want to waste one of those
"Sucker Punch has revealed a brand new trailer for inFAMOUS 2, and it's about as subtle as a neon rapist."
I literally have spit on my monitor from surprise laughing at this.
Oh shit, spit contains bacterial cultures.
Jokes about rape propagate rape culture.
Damn you, Jim Sterling, for making me propagate cultures on my monitor!

Super subtle!
I usually rock the good guy myself and I can't wait too see what they changed in this game for the better.

Wait a sec. Was Cole getting fire powers announced prior to this? This is the first I've seen of it. And the implication seems to be that evil choices get you fire powers, and good choices get you ice powers.
If that's the case, at least they're making the choices have a bit more of an effect on your playthrough, instead of some slightly different powers and people throwing rocks at you.

I didn't mind the morality system in inFamous 2... sure, it was dumb, but which system isn't? At least it seriously affected the gameplay, the powers and the world around you, it wasn't just "you are evil, now you have red eyes".
I usually play nice the first time, but in this game I played evil my first time because some powers make it difficult to avoid collateral damage...

Yeah you're right. Every dark-skinned character should be "good"... especially in a video game!

Don't see how anyone couldn't like the first game. Ah but then I forget you're not just anybody. Your a... well I'm not really sure what you are. But if I had to take a guess I'd say distant cousin of Jabba the Hutt.
Glad they are releasing in June. Not enough publishers take advantage of the Summer window. Infamous 2 will have a few months all to itself pretty much and I am look forward to beating the Summer heat once in awhile with Infamous 2.
Sucker Punch devs also hinted that you may be able to import your save file from the original so your decisions carry over.

Loved the first Infamous. Might not have been perfect, but it was bundles of fun. Fingers crossed the 2nd is just as good.
I'm not going to make a comment about how I thought Prototype was a pile of steaming wank juice. Oh, bugger!!

*shrug* Loved the first game, will likely love this one.
Didn't mind the blatant "karma" system too much. Coulda been more interesting though, I admit.

"Infamous was the best superhero action game this gen."
A little game called Batman: Arkham Asylum would like a word with you.

Stomp on the puppy's balls of course! :) Playign as a good guy sucked because of the annoyance of collateral damage. I played through the game 4 times. Twice I tried to be good but it's just frustrating and no fun.
