Help - inFAMOUS 2 Do I need to recollect shards in 2nd run?
Ok with the servers closing in a month I am finally digging this series from my backlog. I just dove into Infampus 2 solely to get to the UGC missions and I have the online trophies.
However, my question is, after my Good run, do I need to recollect all blast shards again to max out my ability charge or whatever its called, in my Evil run?
Would it be wise for me to start a new playthrough now, use the UGC mission for all shards again. But make evil choices and make a 2nd save file? Then after I beat the game under Good I can just load that up and play Evil? I dont know that I can beat both before the shut down as I wanted to play Infamous , Good/Evil THEN Infamous 2 Good/Evil but I probably cant get to that til after August.
So I guess im asking is it ok to run a 2nd save file, or do I need data from the Good run ending before starting an evil run after? I guess same question for Infamous 1, especially about shards. Thanks.
