Infamous series seems bleh. However, Sony gave me both games. Play or no play?

Do I force myself to play these or just let them take up HDD space? I dislike the story and characters and cheesy dialogue and bad acting and the games seem shallow. You play as a skinhead who shoots electroballz, and his sidekick is one of the most obnoxious characters ever in a video game.

Play or no play?

I dont know, if you can get them for free, you can always give it a try...

i tried the demo of infamous 2... and after 5 min i delete it... i didnt like it so much.... maybe it gets better, maybe i didnt have the patiente, ...

but if its for free i will give it another try

As far as Sony's first Party games go this gen, the inFAMOUS titles are the best IMO. They have the best gameplay (most important thing) and the most interesting story. I say you shouldn't judge them so harshly so soon.

I'm a huge infamous fan so I'm naturally going to say yes. The story is the heart of the series and should alone be a reason to play the games. But if you really can't stand it then don't waste your life.

if you have played them and didnt like them why would you keep them? If you are going just by videos then that is the wrong way to do so.

I played the first one for 3 or 4 hours and disliked it so I quit. Thought about giving it another chance. Well, it's a full retail game, so might as well just keep it.

I did buy the DLC game when it was dirt cheap just because it has vampires in it, but only played for an hour or two and lost interest.

only played Infamous 1 but really enjoyed it, kind of a GTA with super powers, town is not super big but large enough to do lots of things, graphics are real good for a game that old

Don't play games again because based on every single post you make, you don't appreciate any game. So save us your moaning and leave them alone.

It took awhile to warm up to Infamous. It was one of my choices during the welcome back program. Not because of the gameplay. But yep I agree the Characters are anoying.

But I actually came to like the game. I have not play the second game. If you don't enjoy the game do play it. Why force enjoyment where there is none.

Infamous 1 was a great game except for the extremely tedious side missions. Infamous 2 was ok. But you have them for free so why not go for it? Also, you can get two pretty easy platinum trophy's (if you're into that) from these games.

First one is the best PS3 exclusive IMO.

Second one? Not so much. They changed a lot of things that I wasn't really happy with but other people seem to think its better than the first.

I don't see why you should play the game you don't enjoy or have fun with. Just because it's free, it doesn't make it: "I have to play it".

There are decent games and one of the better superhero based games in last few years, I personally don't mind them but I wouldn't pay the full price. That my preference of course.

Delete them and play something you like. :)

I loved the first infamous game. I never played the second. Not really sure what your aversion to the games.

I loved the first Infamous so much I actually spent time to get the Platinum trophy. I have the second one but haven't gotten around to playing it yet. It looks good though! I highly suggest you play them, at least the first one.

Don't know about inFamous 2, but the original inFamous is my second favorite PS3 exclusive. However, you don't really seem to like it so maybe its not your thing.

If you play this game through the demo's they suck but as you start to progress through them they get addictive for some reason. I really enjoyed both

What and you didn't even beat the game considering it only takes around 2 hours to complete Festival of Blood. I like the inFAMOUS series especially inFAMOUS 2. It gets better the more you play it due to the power upgrades.

Why cry about a game you don't even like and ask for others people opinion if you should play it or not. You are making it seem like you are forcing yourself to play them because they were simply free. Don't like it? Don't go "it's complete crap but talk about trying to play it even though you made it clear you don't like inFamous. Never played the first one,but my brother had the second game laying around so I got pretty into it and beat it in a few days because I got really enthralled into the game.

Actually RPGs are fun, and it is shooters (TPS and FPS) that are the boring and casual shallow games with very little gameplay involved.

Play them. If they're free there's no reason not to. I got Infamous 1 for free way back when PSN was down for months and personally I would never have bought it, or LittleBigPlanet. But I love both of those games.

Sounds to me like your mind is made up on these games. If you really do not like the InFamous series then delete them from your hard drive and free up space. If you ever do change your mind on them it will be in your download history to grab again.

I got Infamous for free from the PSN outage and I hated it. I played throught the first section of the city and unlocked the 2nd section and stopped playing. I just cant make myself play this game. I never tried Infamous 2 because of the 1st one.

In my TOTALLY unbias viewpoint, the games are damn amazing. Sounds like you judged them on either 5 minutes playtime or a bad video review. You have them for free, I would suggest you give each a couple hours. You might not like the first game, and find the second miles better. I was that way with Mass Effect.
