I would be good first on easy then be evil on hard. Evil IMO is more fun, so if you save it for the second playthrough you will want to keep playing :).

Agreed. Can't go wrong with Goo :P

But seriously, I'm playing it for the first time as well and am going with the good path. It's an awesome game.

Lol:lol:. But anyways, yes, I'd go with good first. Why you ask? Well, your gonna want to play inFamous more than once, and I found that since it's funner to play as evil, it's best to start off as good on your time through. That way you can make your second play through more enjoyable. It worked for me. But don't misunderstand me, it's still extremely satisfying and fun to play as good.

i am playing inFamous since last week as a ero (good) , i am goona replay it as evil cause it is addicting and cause i am curious. so it doesn t matter much. this is such a good game. in combat terms they are similar in effectiveness only that good side powers are designed to have minimun collateral damage while bad are ruthless.

I think going evil would ruin the good run-through story wise. I would definitely go good first. Evil is easier anyway because you can just let loose without thinking about civilians.

Yes, Goo always wins.

Seriously though the story was pretty much meant to be played as good, so do that first.

The goo powers are more useful than the evil ones IMO. All the evil powers do is blow stuff up, which isn't always the most practical solution in a lot of situations.

Good on normal first. With the good ending, you're rewarded with a nice comicbook cutscene.

With the evil ending, i think it's just an in-game cutscene.

Yeah, pretty much this. First time I played the game was on Medium difficulty and I was good. Then I played bad Cole on hard and it's way more fun 'cause your powers are more destructive and you dont have to worry about blowing the whole city up. A lota fun!

I was evil. I think evil is more powerful, plus you can just go around destroying things :P

After playing through both, I feel that the game was more taylored for the good. The only difference between then are the power upgrades and the good/bad side missions ( same story and missions for both). but since the missions basicaaly have you cleaning up the city, it will probually feel more natural being good ( evil has better powers but not by much)

Its not much of a challenge either way... I'd personally recommend going through your first run as a "Good" hero on the highest difficulty and then just breezing through it on the easy difficulty as the evil hero. Its pretty much what I did.

i've been bad the first time and i regret it because i felt that i'm just being a jerk. and that honestly affected my judgement on the game.so, i advise that u play it good the first time.

my first experience on infamous was Hard , Evil.

evil had more sinister weapons and massive area damage for brutal execution

while good had a more concentrated attack ( to avoid damaging the area around)

That is exactly how you should play when you are playing a character that does have a choice between good and evil. :P

Do you want to rape the city and be feared, or save the citizens and be loved?
