It pulled a classic blunder:

They killed the character everybody liked so they could replace him with a character they liked instead. The same BS killed Prototype as well.

It was especially insulting because they tried to redesign Cole for Infamous 2 to make him "more like Tony Hawk," but the fan backlash was so sudden and so strong that they had to back down...then Cole dies at the end of Infamous 2, and who do we get to replace him?

For some reason I thought they made Sunset Overdrive after, but that was Insomniac.

Looks like they're the ones making that awesome looking samurai game they showed off at e3, so that's nice.

That whole redesign of Cole for Infamous 2 was such a stupid idea

I mean I liked Delsin, not as much as Cole but still. I just didn't like his attitude especially when it came to the other conduits. Like when the conduit chick was an outright murderer and he went over backwards to defend her just because she was a conduit.

There's also Delsin's power, on paper it seems fine, but in the actual game it left alot to be desired. Plus who's the genius who thought "hey let's let Concrete be the last power but you get it during the literal final boss!"

Who knows but Second Son was mediocre. It had nice graphics but everything else about it felt meh. Apparently, the First Light DLC was really good but I never got the chance to play it.

SP currently have their hands tied with Ghost of Tsushima which will hopefully be good but I am skeptical. Combat from what weve seen looks Batman Arkham tier.

She was only killing drug dealers though and she was grief sticken over what happened to her brother. Delsin could tell that she probably wasn't a bad person and I'm guessing that he was thinking about how he would feel if he lost his brother, which is exactly what happened later in the game. I liked Delsin too. Video was the best power imo

Honestly I liked the Neon girl a lot better than the main guy, whose name I literally didn't even remember until you used it. The DLC pack where you play as her instead was honestly more fun than the main game.

I just...I did not like Delsin at all. Partially because he annoyed me with his attitude, but mostly because I immediately realized that he was just Sucker Punch's way of loop-holing themselves into the "Tony Hawk" character they wanted to turn Cole into.

Like, guys...the fans said "no, don't fucking do that," but they insisted on doing it anyway, and it half-ruined the franchise.

Fun game, bad main character.

Personally I liked Neon, especially that movement ability you could upgrade to run around everywhere without stopping. I mostly used Smoke in battles though.

And yeah she was just killing drug dealers, but it still doesn't condone her just killing them.

Then there's Miss Concretehead herself. Like..."I rounded up conduits, encased them in concrete" (which is painful), is implied to be willing to kidnap, straight up injure, or kill loved ones of conduits all under the guise of "I want to save conduits!!!"

Just...ugh...
