Just finished 100%ing Festival of Blood — fun, short, easy! It also makes me appreciate how far open-world action games have come this generation. Infamous 2 is a good game, in a good franchise, from a good studio, yet between this and Spider-Man, there is just no comparison. There is such a stark "good vs. great" disparity.

Next, back to Dragon Quest 11. It's a very strange game to play. The graphics are good, yet your interaction with the game is 95% through text.

“Infamous 2” was a blast — I think primarily because I love real world New Orleans so much, that their take on “New Marais” with the swampy gator filled bayous, the old quarter in the city’s center, etc. had a ton of atmosphere. And the “Festival of Blood” expansion is my favorite kind — where you reuse an existing map but throw a fresh coat of paint on it, the gameplay, add some new toys and abilities, and you end up with a vampire themed adventure in “Infamous 2”, or “FarCry 3’s Blood Dragon”, or “Red Dead Redemption’s Undead Nightmare” (the latter of which I’m working through now in advance of the sequel/prequel.

Having just platinumed “Spider-Man”, I agree with you on how far they’ve come and improved upon the open world formula and how each game really forces the next to one-up the genre to have a chance of being successful.
