This video will contain spoilers for Infamous Second Son, if you have never played this game before I still recommend you watch this video, just a little, as the fun of InFamous does not really come from completing from the story or the surprises it has in store for you but instead it comes from the pure fun of using the powers the game gives you.
InFamous Second Son is the third game in the Infamous franchise. The first InFamous came out and it was really good and I think you guys can all agree with that. Then the second InFamous came out and it improved on everything from the original despite still having some glaring issues. The InFamous games were some of the best games on the Playstation 3 and are still must play titles to this day. With the next generation consoles coming around the corner it was important to have a real console seller out of the gate and sony’s answer to this was InFamous Second Son. Unfortunately this game as far as I have seen has left the fanbase very divided with a lot of people saying things like the powers are underdeveloped the gameplay isn't as fun as previous games and that the characters aren't very good. I however disagree. I think it's time somebody took more of a positive approach to this game to hopefully make you see it from a different perspective. I want to clarify that I am a little biased here because this is easily my favourite game of all time being rivaled only by Spiderman PS4 and Persona 5.
inFAMOUS Second Son, a PlayStation 4 exclusive , brings you an action adventure game where surrounded by a society that fears them, superhumans are ruthlessly hunted down and caged by the Department of Unified Protection. Step into a locked-down Seattle as Delsin Rowe, who has recently discovered his superhuman power and is now capable of fighting back against the oppressive DUP. Enjoy your power as you choose how you will push your awesome abilities to the limit and witness the consequences of your actions as they affect the city and people around you.
Infamous: Second Son (stylized as inFAMOUS: SECOND SON) is the third main installment in the InFAMOUS series and is a PlayStation 4 exclusive. It features a new setting, a new protagonist, a totalitarian government controlled by propaganda, and a new antagonist, the D.U.P. (Department of Unified Protection). It is set seven years after the end of Cole MacGrath's story and stars a new protagonist, Delsin Rowe.
InFamous: Second Son was first announced at Sony's PlayStation 4 Press Conference on February 20, 2013, after officially announcing the successor to the PlayStation 3.
As in inFamous and inFamous 2, Karmic choices plays a role in the main story. The protagonist, Delsin Rowe, has the ability to absorb other Conduits' powers, replacing the electric-based powers of Cole MacGrath from Infamous and Infamous 2 with multiple others. Every power that Delsin gets drastically changes the way the game is played. Over the course of the entire game, Delsin gains access to new abilities by allying with other Conduits and absorbing their powers. By the end of the game, Delsin has absorbed the powers of four Conduits, and thus has access to four different powers. While Delsin can have access to only one of his powers at a time, he can easily switch by absorbing the corresponding power source.
For the first time in the series, the player will be able to shoot without having to aim beforehand (although it is still an option) to instill a sense a fluidity and quickness in gameplay.
Destruction has been greatly improved from the past games. More objects can now be destroyed and will stay destroyed for the rest of the game, unlike in previous inFamous titles.
Welcome to an analysis where I analyze inFAMOUS Second Son. In defense of inFAMOUS Second Son is a video discussing and critiquing the pros and cons of the game through this review of inFAMOUS Second Son. This is not an inFAMOUS retrospective or a comparison but rather an inFAMOUS Second Son critique. This video titled In Defense of inFAMOUS Second Son was created by Aqua or That_Boy_Aqua.

I want to give you a different perspective on this assassins creed odyssey review, critique, analysis, defence, whatever you want to call it. All the thoughts in this video are purely my opinion so if you disagree thats ok. Im open to having discussions with you guys as long as it stays civil. I hope you guys enjoy this video and thanks so much for 19K subscribers. Its wild.
The following is a brief summary of the game.
Assassins Creed: Odyssey is the eleventh main installment in the Assassins Creed series developed by Ubisoft. The game was primarily developed by Ubisoft Québec, which had previously worked on Assassins Creed: Syndicate. The concept for the game emerged in 2015, as the team was wrapping up development on Syndicate. In the shift to an RPG-esque game, inspiration was taken from titles such as The Witcher 3, Fallout, and The Elder Scrolls, in regards to the idea of player choice. The development team engaged in communication with the team behind Assassins Creed: Origins; it was decided to quote: push [the series] forward with the introduction of RPG elements. The setting of ancient Greece was chosen as it was one of the most requested settings from the fanbase.
Odyssey uses a lot of the same graphics technology as Origins. Far more colour was used in the game; the designers tried to tap into the notion that the ancient Greeks believed that their land was built by the gods, thus the use of vibrant colours. There was pushback against the ordinary depictions of ancient Greece, which lean on it being an arid place with an emphasis on white and gold. The end result is intended to be a middle-ground between historical accuracy and vibrancy.
The games genetic memory story is set in 431 BCE, recounting the secret history of the Peloponnesian War, fought between the city-states of ancient Greece. The protagonist is a mercenary named either Alexios or Kassandra who can choose to fight for either Athens and the Delian League or Sparta and the Peloponnesian League, as well as against the Cult of Kosmos. The modern-day segments will again follow Layla Hassan, who was first introduced in Assassins Creed Origins, and her story will touch on the Isu.
Odyssey uses a lot of the gameplay and interface mechanics of Origins, including the radial compass, and the return of a bird that can survey the landscape, spot treasure, and highlight and harass enemies.
The game features RPG elements, including dialogue options, branching quests, multiple possible endings, romance options, and the ability to select between a male or female protagonist. Reportedly, the game is a full RPG, and will push the franchise into this genre. Both Alexios and Kassandra follow the same story. Romance options remain the same regardless of the character chosen. Interactions with NPCs can have consequences, either short or long term, in regards to the story. Choices are said to add up. Relationships with NPCs dont always change, and there is no binary divide in regards to interaction—lying to an NPC isnt necessarily a bad choice, and vice versa. By extension, there is no right way to play the game in regards to character choice.
Gear can be selected, and is classified by rarity. Each piece of gear can be enhanced with engravings. Players also have access to a skill tree, and can follow a branch to better suit their playstyle. Compared to Origins, the skill tree is more clear cut in Odyssey, and players can unlock high tier versions of pre-existing skills. In combat, the hitbox system for enemies is used again.
The game world has been described as the biggest one yet for the franchise; specifically, the game map is 100 square miles, split evenly between land and sea. Environments range from forests to mountains, to beaches. Legendary animals can be hunted on land. The world is divided into the number of zones divided by level (similar to an MMO), but level scaling features to a point. For instance, if a player starts at a level 2 zone, then returns after having reached level 20, the enemies there will be scaled up to be 2-3 below the players character.
The Sparta-Athens divide is represented in-game with a red or blue border along each region to indicate which of the city-states has control. 28 city-states feature in the game, each of which is allied with either Sparta or Athens. Each city-state has a national power level. If one city-state leader is weakened (e.g. by assassinating their leader), other faction leaders will invade their state. If the invading army is defeated, the nations power is reset. The army will invade regardless of the players actions, but they can involve themselves in the battle.
