History YMMV / Infamous

%%* EvilIsSexy: Sasha.

* FandomRivalry: Infamous had quite a rivalry with the Prototype series, mainly because both series feature more morally bleak and complex takes on the superhero genre and utilize open world sandbox action driven game-play. The fact that both came out in the year 2009 also contributed to the rivalry.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: The Reapers seem to be the most popular gang. Cole even gets a Reaper based costume in Infamous 2.
%%* EvilIsSexy: Sasha.
* FanDisservice: Sasha. She is pretty well shaped and her outfit actually seems to show some areola (It's hard to tell)... and then you realize she is covered in tar, and the things she yells at you [[{{Squick}} are actually pretty damn creepy]].

* EvilIsSexy: Sasha.

* HarsherInHinsight: A city being completely locked down, quarantined economically and physically, falling into a depressive and borderline apocalyptic sense of disrepair, a plague that spreads easily with no cure, everyone wearing masks, and government conspiracies abound? After 2020, for many people, this plot might hit really close to home...

* FandomRivalry: Infamous had quite a rivalry with the Prototype series. Mainly because both games feature more morally bleak and complex takes on the superhero genre and utilize open world sandbox action driven game-play. The fact that both came out in the year 2009, also contributed to the rivalry.

* SpiritualAdaptation: Of ''Literature/{{Gone}}'', as both involve super powered mutants fighting for survival in a locked down environment.

* FandomRivarly: Infamous had quite a rivalry with the Prototype series. Mainly because both games feature more morally bleak and complex takes on the superhero genre and utilize open world sandbox action driven game-play. The fact that both came out in the year 2009, also contributed to the rivalry.

** Kessler stating that he's been there with Cole for "every step of [his] life". Did he mean this physically? As is he knew about Cole since he was born and has been manipulating him ever since? Or did he mean it metaphorically? As in he was ''with'' Cole because [[spoiler:he's a future version of him]]?

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Is USTV acting as the Government's propaganda mouthpiece, or are they perfectly innocent reporters who are being duped just like the rest of the outside world on the condition of Empire City?

** Trish because of her misplaced hostility and undeserved blaming of Cole for the explosion. Yes [[spoiler: her sister died in the explosion]] but that's still no excuse. She's a bit more tolerable later on in the hero route if only because she complains less, but she is nigh-insufferable in the evil route.

** "Anything For Trish", essentially an escort mission where you're escorting a gigantic target that can't dodge. Unless you jump off to handle each enemy group as it appears, you can get overwhelmed very fast. Making matters worse, while ''Cole'' would do anything for Trish, the ''player'' is unlikely to feel the same at this point, especially with her constantly [[MostAnnoyingSound scolding Cole]] whenever said target is damaged.

* MostAnnoyingSound:
** The bizarre screams the Reapers' Mad Bombers make.
** The First Sons' invisible, flying, grenade lobbing deathbots.

*** So much in-fact, that both Rabble Rouser and Meet The Reapers are heard in 2014's ''VideoGames/InfamousFirstLight''.
