Infamous 2 Gnarly Repacks Now

Standard repacks use 20 parts. The Gnarly repack allegedly used 3,500 parts, each exactly 2.3MB. Why? Nobody knows. Theories include trolling users with dial-up modems or a failed attempt to bypass early torrent client cache limits. One Reddit user, u/BlastShard_42, famously wrote: "I spent six hours clicking 'unlock part 2,198' only to realize part 2,199 was corrupted."

Analysis

Conclusion

Infamous 2 is famous for its User-Generated Content (UGC) missions. The Gnarly repack didn't just exclude the UGC data; it replaced the game's internal editor with a glitched script. If you so much as opened the mission creator, the repack would overwrite your save file with a placeholder text file that just said: "gnarly, dude."
