MCP: inFAMOUS KARMA SYSTEM DEMO

Karma is officially the new bullet time.

Is karma a fun way to customize user experience, or is it a cheap trick to squeeze out an extra playthrough? These karma systems usually get touted as powerful tools to alter game worlds, but they’re too often gussied-up decision trees. 

So which games get karma right, and why? Discuss on our message board.
