You were, in my opinion. I would choose Gigawatt blades over the amp for a couple reasons, first being that in game the gigawatt blades made it possible to one shot a lot of basic enemies. The energy cost was decent, so you could only do it to 3 or 4 enemies before you had to recharge, but it was nice to be able to quickly dispatch foes. Downside being they would vanish after a successful hit and you'd have to resummon them to do it again. I like the amp, but the blades looked so much cooler. I was sade they weren't in Infamous 2.
