:applause: Thats real good. I just had BB match Fry's 52.99 minus $10 Reward Zone Bucks...came out to be around $45 (with taxes). One guy on CAGS got it from GF for $13-16 bucks. One thing I do like about GF is if you are lucky to get a new release on release day you can easilty get it for $50-52 not including any coupons or ongoing discounts.

I cancelled GF last month. I found that I still bougt basically every new game that came out and I was just getting older games from them that would just sit on my coffee table. It was a waste of money. I'm curious how JMS was able to save those coupons up though? I thought they expired after three months or something? I was never able to combine coups.

I just watched the Gamespot video review of this game on my phone. The dude had a ton of praise. The only negative things he had to say were about some of the graphics and the fact that sometimes the character sticks to things that you don't want him to. Even he said the negatives were pretty nitpicky and didn't detract from the game at all. He also concluded by saying that the story takes about 30 hours on your first play through, which seem pretty dead on for me.
And considering that there are two distinct story lines this game is well worth $60.

And Ryne, you are on my friends list, right? I could've sworn you were but I don't recall ever seeing you on?

It depends when you signed up I think and also Feb was a short month, so this would be the only time to double up on coupons based on when you signed up. I get billed every 24th of the month. I had a $5 coupon that expired the 27th but a new $5 coupon was available on the 25th, so I used both on the 27th to get Bourne (PS3) for $5.

As far as saving $15....he just used his discount for being a member for over a year, a $5 coupon for being a member for an additional 3 months, and a $10 coupon that was good a couple of days before/after Memorial Day for any game $30 or more. I've only bought two games from GF....both for the PS3....LBP & Bourne.

As far as "friends," never been on your PS3 friends list. I only have Casino, Virix, and GatorGuy (who I still don't know who he is now on VSN, if he is even here). I still have Live but I haven't played online really with any MM guys since Saints Row came out.

edit: I don't see how somone got it for less than $20, even trade in credits goes towards membership not credit to buy games.

I sent you a FR last night.

How long is this game (side quests included?)

I've mentioned it a few times. It's apparently around 30 hours. Then factor in the fact that you will probably want to play through twice to see both the 'good' and 'evil' story lines and you're looking at 60 hours. Pretty damn sweet.

 

[jms493]

well damn......I have put some good chunks of time into this game and I am 11% done...............wth???

good and bad!

 

[jms493]

made some progress tonite....onto the 2nd island...26% complete.

I like the power ups on my powers.....very cool and effective.

 

[Twigg4075]

Being able to slide on the wires and train rails is fucking sick.

 

[Sean]

yea, i was messing around with that in the demo, got struck by a train and flopped bigger then Manu, lol

in the actual game, is there some kind of targeting system? cause i always get shot and have no idea where the bullets are flying from unless i see their marks

 

[Maynard]

sliz....i almost didnt recognize you without that homo avatar

i dont like the targeting either, its hard to tell where ur getting hit from

 

[jms493]

i dont like the game and i dont know why...............huh??

i think alot of people think these games are going to move mountains.........game is fun and the story is intriguing.........i am having fun with my PS3!!

 

[jms493]

i agree it is not really open world.....it is really open choices. There is nothing to do besides missions and looking for shards. (i dont like that word)

at least you explained yourself this time!

 

[ryne candy]

The only game I would consider Open World is something like WOW. I can't say how your choices change the game since right now I'm only playing "evil." I plan on playing it again as "good," to see how the world changes. GTA that is considered Open also has a story and if you pick a certain choice, another choice is closed. In InFAMOUS it states a "good" mission is closed but I have no idea how/if it affects the game.

 

[Twigg4075]

Man, I forgot how much I missed Sliz's pretentious opinions.

 

[Maynard]

all these games that claim to have choices really dont. they are all binary as sliz called it. Its seems that the choices all lead to the same 2 end results. Good guy/Bad guy.

for as much as i loved fallout3, the choices in dialog didnt change the outcome of the story, they just shaped your guys karma

i could see from the video reviews that this game had the same preset choices. I dont know why they pretend like these in game choices actually matter. In this case its the difference between red lightning and blue lightning ....good ending/bad ending

 

[jms493]

Yeah I am on the 2nd island too and try getting to the very very top of the jail...........damn thats high.......and a freaking fell at the very end.....fuck me!!:banghead:

 

[Sean]

i might get it today, my mom is supposed to get $100 for something and keep saying i want a new game. Is the starategy guide needed? or is it a simple game where you dont need it?

That was a bitch. What about that other huge monstrosity of a structure at the northeast section of the island? I heard on the 1Up podcast that it is something that the Dustman have built? I guess I'll find more about it towards the end of the second island.

i might get it today, my mom is supposed to get $100 for something and keep saying i want a new game. Is the starategy guide needed? or is it a simple game where you dont need it?

Not at all.

 

[Twigg4075]

I also love the little touches in the game, like after you run into the 'poster guy' on the second island, you will start seeing those posters all over the place. Nice touch.

I think John from the 1Up podcast, and also from What They're Playing, said it best. "inFamous isn't the greatest game on the PS3 but it is my favorite."

 

[jms493]

yeah I just want to keep playing.....The bridge mission on the 2nd island was cool and long.

I wonder if I need to get 100% complete to actually beat the game??

I am at 33% now and easily put 8-10 hours in.

 

[Twigg4075]

Doeas anyone know if there is any significance to knocking down all the cranes and such, besides easier navigation around the world?
