Infamous which karma is better

There are only a couple that really make a difference. While collecting core relays for neon abilities you will come across one of my favourite abilities: Laser Insight. This ability basically provides for an instant subdue or instant kill you can do either, but you should probably do the one that corresponds to your karma choice. To give a quick breakdown of the ability itself, when you zoom in, your character highlights weak points on the enemy.

Some of the powerful enemies do not have weak points because of their armor, but most of them do. When you zoom in, 3 weak spots appear. Two of these spots are blue, the enemy's feet, and one is red, the enemy's head. If you shoot the red spot, the enemy is instantly executed and, if you shoot the blue spots, the enemy is instantly subdued.

This is where I found evil karma a lot nicer. First off, you just shoot the head and they die; however, for good karma, you have to shoot BOTH feet before they go down. Having said that though, the feet are larger targets because it encompasses their entire boots, pretty much up to their knees. Also, the head is more obstructed of a target because there is no laser penetration, if their shoulder gets in the way then you do not get the headshot. As a little added bonus for evil karma, though, the head is usually visible.

When they are behind barriers, you can acquire that headshot, but the feet are buried behind the barrier. One of the nice things about good karma is that you get a couple of abilities that heal you. Fairly easy tasks, too, such as dashing through a vent. There is not much to say about this other than the fact that it does not make a huge difference, but there are a couple times where it saved me; however, I do not know for sure that I would have died in those situations anyways.

I just know I dashed, got healed, and did not die. Okay, I get it, you came here for an answer, not all my blabber. I always tried to assume that, when going Evil, Cole simply always had a bit of an inner-twat and gaining those powers was the boost he needed to start spreading his malicious intents.

But because he has such little backstory, it's difficult to carry it on. The evil side missions in the first game are the best side missions in the game. Being evil in the second one sucks though because you have to side with Nix most of the time and she isn't likeable at all. Please Log In to post.

It is similar to the Infamous rank, except Cole's Karma will be locked to this rank for the rest of the game, meaning that Cole cannot switch to Good Karma, nor can he revert back to the lower stages of Evil Karma.

If the player wishes to be able to switch Karmic alignment in the future, then the final good Karmic choice must be picked, regardless of current Karmic state. In inFamous 2 there is no such limit: it is possible to reach Hero or Infamous rank as soon as the player wishes to if they are willing to grind for it. Game balance is instead enforced by locking most of the high-level powers until Cole uses the Power Transfer Device. Additionally, when the player has completed both a Good and an Evil run in inFamous 2 , all of the Karma-restricted powers are unlocked, and Cole may fulfill the unlock conditions for and acquire Evil powers if he is Good or vice versa, even those that require use of the Power Transfer Device.

The only abilities not unlocked in this way are the boosts for being at a particular Karma rank: Cole will still have to be Infamous to get Bio Leech Overload, for example.

In inFamous , there are 30 side-missions tied to the Karma system, 15 good and 15 evil. By completing set amounts of these missions, you can unlock new abilities tied to your Karmic state. Upon completing 5 missions with the same Karmic alignment, Cole will be granted a new power - either Overload Burst good or Arc Lightning evil.

Subsequent upgrades to these abilities are available upon completing a total of 10 and 15 missions. Each time you finish a Karma side-mission, one Karma side-mission of the opposite side is locked out, so you can only ever complete 15 of the total 30 missions in one playthrough. Note: Both Karmic upgrades and powers require you to be at the rank they're unlocked for them to work.

Despite costing no XP, they also need to be "bought" from the Powers menu by selecting them. The Karma Meter in Infamous. The Karma Meter in Infamous 2. The meter functions identically in Infamous 2 as it does in Infamous. In Infamous: Second Son , the meter acts a little differently. Instead of having multiple sections shown at once, the meter is shown as just one singular bar. The bar fills in as Delsin performs acts that follow his current karmic route, and is emptied if he does otherwise.

Once the meter fills, Delsin's karma rank increases, and the bar is emptied so that he may fill it and rank up again in the future. There are several Karmic Moments that occur throughout the game, often presenting Cole with a choice between acting for Good or Evil. Cole is given a set amount of time to analyze the decisions and the results they will bring.

Cole is then to decide what to do with the situation, and depending on his choice can either seek to help others or himself. In Infamous: Second Son , the Karmic Moments are highlighted by the screen turning to black-and-white, and an L2-R2 option being displayed on the screen, confirmed by tapping the X button.

The decision shows a description of what will happen should it be chosen by pulling the appropriate trigger.
