History YMMV / InFamous2

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Zeke was hated by more than a few players in the first game, but considering how Zeke became more mature, useful and was genuinely sorry for his actions in inFAMOUS, he won over some of his haters.

* MostAnnoyingSound: THE ICE MEN. For some, that muffled, high-pitched tone they speak in with FAR too much reverb is a BerserkButton and may have you frantically launching rockets at them or reaching for the mute button just to shut them up.
** DO NOT GET THIS TROPER STARTED ON THEIR FREAKING TITANS. The noise they make while walking is insanely obnoxious, especially if you have a sound system with a good subwoofer.
*** It honestly sounds like someone is ringing a spiked gong with [[VideoGame/YoshisIsland Baby Mario]]

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETfdt5xMc9Q Fade Away]], the end credits theme, especially if you got the good ending.

* TheUntwist: Many people guessed beforehand that [[spoiler: John was the Beast.]]

* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad Joseph Bertrand III turns ordinary human beings into the Corrupted, performs cruel experiments on Kuo, uses the Power Transfer Device to turn Vermaak 88 into Forced Conduits in a process that will eventually drive them insane, was responsible for the sacrificial death of Nix's mother and several hundred others in his attempt to activate his own Conduit powers, and tops it off by ordering the execution of any Conduits or potential Conduits in the starting move towards total genocide. In addition to all that, he also planned on selling the Vermaak as personal soldiers to major powers around the world. This man nearly started an arms race which might have sparked another World War, tugging the strings the whole time. He never fully seems to realize how terrible a monster he's become. His KarmicTransformation is completely lost on him, despite the fact that the only power he unlocked through the murder of hundreds of innocents being the transformation into a ravenous monster; the only conclusion he draws from this is that [[InsaneTrollLogic if he has become a monster through the activation of his Conduit powers, then all Conduits are monsters, and must be exterminated]].

* TheScrappy: Nix. She's got a tragic back story, but that's treated as a licence to be insane, rather than a reason for her violent streak. It's especially noticeable because she's usually put opposite Kuo, who has more character depth. Nix is crazy, in way that makes you sit back and say, "Can people really be that crazy? I don't think so. And it looks like Cole likes her for some reason. Great, there goes WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief".

** Not helped that Nix pulls a [[spoiler:HeelFaceTurn]] for the bad reason of wanting revenge, while Kuo does the opposite out of simple mortal terror, and actually comes to admit she was wrong in the end.

* PlayerPunch: [[spoiler:the Evil Ending requires Cole to personally kill Zeke. He takes multiple hits, and just keeps raising his gun.]]

* MoralEventHorizon: Bertrand crossed this [[spoiler:before the game even began. He rounded up hundreds of poor into the swamp and killed them all with a Ray Sphere. All to empower his transformation into a Conduit.]]

* MoralEventHorizon: No matter your Karma rank, at one point you are given a choice that will end the pseudo-teamwork you have going on between two other Conduits. If you pick say, the Evil person, because you want their power, and you have maxed the Hero side, the game considers it equivalent to denouncing law and order and choosing to revel in chaos. ''You are instantly ranked as a Thug(lowest evil), lose all Good benefits, all Good powers, and now have hard to get rid of bad Karma''. The opposite holds true if you pick the Good person. Note that this happens long into the game, and this fact is never made clear. If you don't like their element, there is no option to mix. Luckily, if you knew about this and hard saved through the menu beforehand or at the choice, it will only take a replay of the mission you just did in order to get the choice again. If you didn't, hope you enjoyed your first playthrough of inFamous 2 because you get to replay from the last time you made a hard save, and if you didn't do that new game.

** Bloody Mary is a very obvious FullyEmbracedFiend, as you can find from her memories, almost all of which have her gleefully talk about the people she killed, turning families against one another, and forcefully converting clergymen.

** [[spoiler:Bertrand as he deliberately rounded up "undesirables" to sacrifice for his own superpowers, and, once he found they were loathsome, plans on committing Conduit Genocide]].

* UnfortunateImplications: There are only two major black characters: Nix, who's Cole's "evil" influence for most of the game; and [[spoiler: the Beast, aka John from the first game]].
** Wolfe is a positive black character, isn't he?

* XanatosRoulette: Bertrand's plan to [[spoiler: convince the world to hate and fear conduits by mass-producing them and selling them to various countries and military powers as weapons]].

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Almost happened. Cole's redesign initially looked like [[http://infamous.wikia.com/wiki/File:IF2_Cole_Concept_Art2.png this]], but fan outcry was so bad that Sucker Punch changed him back.
