Mirerian Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I plan on doing hard mode as a good character. Normal wasn't toooo bad, but the enemies ridiculously good aim and the annoying turrets proved for some annoying segments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dz06lt Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Not too bad but you should have saved your evil run for hard so you can bioleach whenever you need life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x410xDragon Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 It is not as hard as it is lead to believe, but it is recommended you save this difficulty for your Evil Play-through as your powers are much stronger. You will want to get Reduce Damage as soon as possible as the beginning can be annoying without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirerian Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 Hmm, I've heard the hard was easier as a good character due to more precise moves, easier ways to recharge, and grenades that did more damage and had a better blast radius. Oh well :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well :/ I heard quite the opposite You get cluster grenades while being Evil and just one grenade while being Good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also with the bioleach regenerating power is easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sum1_worsethan_u Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 yes evil is the only way to go, the powers are more destructive and cause more unintended casualties. Also with the bioleach regenerating power is easier ^This exacrtly....you want to hurt more unintended people while evil. So you level up faster...thus making the Hard playthough easier.

AshtimusPrime Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I played Hard as Good (I like my first playthroughs to be good and get the difficult trophies out of the way) and I had no problems. The game is pretty easy really. There are health packs literally all around you because of how the game works. But that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XxWindchaser Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Definitely confusing info for the good vs. evil for hard playthrough. The trophy guide suggests saving good for hard mode trophy but a lot of other people say to use evil for your hard mode run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trophy guide suggests saving good for hard mode trophy but a lot of other people say to use evil for your hard mode run. I mean, you could play through being Good, but you will ultimately have a lot more problems. Just the basic Lightening while being Evil is twice as strong than if you were good. Plus, enemies require a lot more hits on Hard if you play as Good rather than Evil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robaldinio Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I don't think I've ever considered doing the good run second time around on hard. Just seems obvious to get the good finish out of the way early and have some fun being evil on hard mode (this applies to any game where good/bad is relevant). With that in mind, I don't remember Infamous posing any difficulty but as people have said, it'll probably be a little tougher playing it good on hard. Does the guide really recommend it?

XxWindchaser Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Says: Introduction InFamous is a game that you should be ready to play for a week at least; the trophies will not come quickly and not without some effort. You should be prepared to play through the game atleast twice, once good and once evil. You should make sure that before you start either playthrough that you look through the list of trophies and are mindful of which trophies correspond to your karma and focus on only those. You may think that being neutral karma gives you options to be each but that is NOT what this game is about. Either be completely evil or completely good. There is debate about which Karma has the better powers so choose whichever you like for your first and second playthroughs as long as you do both karma paths and only one per playthough. Step 1: Karma Choice 1 Playthrough on Easy or Medium This playthrough you will focus on the majority of the combat trophies. You should go through the main storyline at whatever pace you like doing the side missions along the way. Stick to your Karma of choice and do the corresponding side missions. If you chose to be good, you are going to be adding the stunts to your list of things to do this playthrough. See the stunts guide for opportune places to preform these stunts. This playthrough will net you half of the story trophies, the combat related trophies, one set of karma path trophies, and a few other miscellaneous trophies. Step 2: Playthrough on Hard Following the Story Missions only Do it on hard this time while focusing on the other karma path. It's not too hard to beat the game on hard but you want to do only the story missions until you get the "Hard Finish" trophy. Avoid Collecting any of the Blast Shards, excluding the first shard that you must obtain to proceed with the game, as you will need the experience later when on an easier difficulty setting. The same applies to side missions, dead drops, and Karma missions. Once you've beaten the game on hard turn the difficulty to easy or medium and begin your clean up. On the roadmap. Then, down on the actual Hard finish trophy it says: Do this on your good playthrough for starters. This isn't too much harder than medium or easy but a few parts are difficult: Which is interesting and confusing since so many other sources say Evil for hard. The roadmap does mention there's a debate on which one to play with first and is pretty ambiguous on which one to play first (leaving it more up to your choice).

I think he mentions Good first due to trophies and getting the Stunts done in one go, if that makes sense? As for your Hard play through, it really is difficult unless you choose Evil as your powers are a lot stronger than if you were good. It could be debatable, but from my experience, Evil is definitely more worth it on Hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game is not too hard just annoying because you have to travel on Hard without unlocking any areas like you do on Easy. Plus, the final boss is fairly difficult on Hard if you were to be Good versus Evil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x9zachattack5x Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Every Infamous game that has difficulty trophies I always do Evil on Hard first. I like taking it easy on my good playthrough because you got to worry about civilians. On hard being evil, you can just spam and not worry about casualties.

Mirerian Posted October 16, 2014 Author Share Posted October 16, 2014 I just beat the game today on hard and platinumed it. Hard wasn't that bad at all as good Cole! And Kessler wasn't hard either. One gripe, the trophies took forever to pop, got me scared for a second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
