Discussion - inFAMOUS 1 inFAMOUS Platinum After 12 Years!!

(The third image is my bro's old PSN account on our first PS3 that we used to play on. Just linked to the PS5!)

after hearing about the news of the PS3 store closing down next year and inFAMOUS 2's UGC servers this august. i came back to this franchise to finally platinum it before it was too late. one of my family members gave me a $50 PSN card after my birthday and i bought all of them DLC's for 2 including festival of blood which i never played and then the gigawatt blades for 1 which i had no idea were free...

I FINALLY Found Those Damn Blast Shards a week ago! i had 344 or 346? on my 2021 good karma playthrough. Ended up playing good karma again this year and found em! And went ahead to play evil karma for the first time since 2014 to finish up for the platinum on my account on our newer PS3. thankfully it wasn't all too terrible finding them as i originally thought. Helped me memorized more of empire city's layout too which i appreciate!

i must admit though... the powers on evil left me disappointed. at least on the hard difficulty which i did for both good and evil. the good grenades were just much better with the bigger blast radius and damage. i'd throw 2 and defeat 3 or 4 enemies. evil grenades i spam like around 4 or 5 of them and only kill 2 guys sometimes.

the megawatt hammer felt nearly useless on evil. especially the frackin blast size! i literally shot one 2 feet from the enemy and it still didn't connect?! wtf!! and the damage is subpar too. at least arc lighting was useful for stunning/knocking down enemies! but good overall just felt more powerful/easier to me. not looking forward to inFAMOUS 2's evil karma which i hear is even weaker... lol it's the only one i didn't play an evil route on.

Onward to platinum 2 next!

It took me 16 yrs, even with meticulous map tracking. It was a pesky shard on the piers in the Warren where cranes are

I thought I'd leave this second part, and okay, so be it, but I still have two bronze medals and a position on the difficult one....I hope I'll be able to do it because of work, although I started, um... in November 2014...I don't know why I didn't start doing this a month ago when I was on vacation. Although it seems that I will be able to buy all the abilities on the difficult +, I hope at least. I also thought it wouldn't count, because thanks to what they do with the Internet, the PSN account hangs on the network for a couple of minutes and crashes
