does this really look interesting to people? like i'm not even being a snide dick or anything, what is the appeal of this? i really want to know. why do you want to play this?
whoa! chill out treg! i think the fact that i said i wasn't being condescending sort of shows that i really want to know why people want to play this. i don't know, it's pretty clear i wasn't being hostile at all. this seems very similar to a lot of things that have come out recently and i don't understand what makes this stand apart! to me this looks like an amalgam of a bunch of games that were mostly uninteresting and have already been done before. uh, assassin's creed and gta and crisis. i guess that would make an interesting game, but really this looks very similar to just about everything else that is out there.
also it's kind of interesting that you mentioned rampage because i was thinking this game would be so much better if it were like rampage a little earlier in that you are a giant monster running around destroying buildings and stuff instead of some goofy guy getting powers. i really think a modern rampage game would be pretty cool and i think the mechanics of this game (switching abilities and super powers and all of that) would be suited towards rampage.
i like playing shining force 2 for a bunch of reasons though. it's got neat gameplay. it's a lot like chess. you're required to think a lot more about what you're going to do and consider things before you do them much more than in regular rpgs. i like the graphics, music, character designs, and i like the story. your goal is to save the princess, but it's much more about the adventure and crazy places you go than actually rescuing the princess. i don't know where you got the idea that there is statistical micromanaging though. there are like 5 statistic and they go up on their own. you don't really have a say in how they go up! it's also one of the first games i remember really liking. it's sort of nostalgic for me and jamie to play (maybe the other guys too).
begin-
man this gameplay slick like make shield fists absorb bazooka soldier guy and all be BOOM sucker cause IM VIOLENT and raised improper but throw tanks how can you not like THROW TANKS!???????????????????? letz talk how this gaem change the world gogogogogoooooooooo
-end
EDIT - Although the first time I saw the video of the character transforming his arm into the whip/whatever... I thought "Gee, Tetsuo is having a bad day again."
this is the worst post i have ever seen!
I will now attempt to predict at least one possible response...
uh, assassin's creed and gta and crisis.
before headphonics or somebody starts hounding me about MEANINGLESS CHOICES?? i think it is fundamentally different when that's a key aspect of the gameplay)i dont know why youd think this. this superficial shitty mechanic?? yep it gets better somehow when it's all the game has to offer. actually i dont even give a shit but

i too struggle to understand people like you. BLOWING UP STUFF IN GAMES man. there's really no way to avoid sounding like a dick when you bring it up because it's like YES, I TOO AM A 12-YEAR-OLD STUCK I AN ADULT'S BODY. i just grew out of things like this because it's all essentially the same bland experience and if you like it fine but it's difficult to GET IT for me and probably others

lol im a dick. you're going BATSHIT over a videogame dude. you're really out of control in this topic. it's hilarious. call the spade a spade here, at least.
If it's written better than The Simpsons game, then it'll be good enough for me.
Otherwise, I'll probably just skip this and get The Simpsons game instead.
i watched an interview with the developers on youtube because it was the first result on youtube for 'prototype game' and it is clear they are really dumb and the short trailers are probably not going to be indicative of the final product. these guys were rone rivendale-level stupid. they were trying to apply 'these enemies wear gas masks' as some kind of major thematic thing about the INTRINSIC INHUMANITY OF MAN. i don't think they are very intelligent.I had no idea who rone rivendale was so I looked it up... and BTW I still don't quite know who he is... other then "fan fiction writer" but that doesn't say much. I assume he has done something notably stupid.
check ign australia's take on the same game bro! they judge with a whoppin 8.5... oh the scores
In all seriousness though, I'd wager a rental first. I haven't played it but when in doubt a rental usually decides it for me!
holy shit that looks like fun, UPRC. Can you drive the vehicles on the road?No, you can't enter or exit vehicles. I actually consider this a bit of a good thing though, because I feel that it would affect the gameplay in a negative way.
Why do you keep killing people in that video?Pretty much just for the hell of it and to show what Alex can do. I wanted to keep it (the length of the video) short.
I like it, I love games like this that make you feel unbeatable. The large amount of enemies can get annoying though and christ what a terrible draw distance which is hard to notice on foot, but things just pop in when you are in the sky or on a building.

yea i picked this up recently and its really fun, except stealth absorbs/infiltrating bases was made a lot harder than it should be imo. i failed a couple of military consume events because when i tried to stealth consume a guy it just picked him up and the alarm went off.
does this really look interesting to people? like i'm not even being a snide dick or anything, what is the appeal of this? i really want to know. why do you want to play this?In a nutshell: i'm going to get baked on weed and do crazy fucking shit in some city. It's going to be the best trip ever.
Man if it wasn't for the horrendous amount of bugs in the PC version this would be a brilliant game,
The fuck? I haven't had any problems at all. No lock ups, no crashes and it's been autosaving perfectly.
Perhaps you've just been unlucky with it, Sarevok.
I've only had one lock up during a cutscene after like 20 hours. My friend is crashing every 3 or 4 minutes when trying to play with a 360 pad, and can't even get his ps3 pad to function with it at all. (i dont use pads for PC games so I have no idea what's supported or not).I use Logitech gamepads, which are styled after Playstation controllers. Prototype detected my exact gamepad when I first played, and I've had no problems. Playstation style controllers work really well for this game.
It seems like it only actually autosaves at the start/end of each main story mission, not when it says 'checkpoint reached'. If you wait for the little save icon to disappear after a mid-mission checkpoint, quit, and then reload your game you'll be at the start of the mission. :(
This game pretty much rocks. It looks good on the PC at least. It's no Fallout 3 or Far Cry 2 of courseFo3 is set in a barren wasteland with mostly nothing beyond mud and rocks in the environment, and FC2 is set in a jungle, so neither are exactly fair comparisons. You can't climb buildings anywhere near to the scale of Prototype in either game, so neither has had to use measures sacrificing graphics for frame rate and gameplay. You can climb to the top of the highest skyscrapers in Prototype and suffer zero drop in frame rate and no noticeable decrease in graphical quality, except for the pop-up props on rooftops. Would you rather have hi-res graphics ala Crysis and be completely unable to run the game on anything less than NASA supercomputers?
The controls are pretty much fucking awful on PC, but hey. There's all these damned button combos. And Alex seems to pretty much do what he wants to most of the time. This game is probably so much better on the 360 with a controller.Not really. There's a few niggly horrible things with movement where a lot of the mid-air moves are bound to the same keys stupidly, but there's only like 7 or 8 moves MAX you can do at any one time and they are just bash LMB/RMB or hold LMB/RMB/E so it's not hard to pull off the moves you want to all the time. Not that it really matters because except for devastators the only good move is just LMB repeatedly.
yeah thanks you daft kiwi
This is how I beat her: Basically I did exactly that, Armour and Blade, cannonballed her from one of the bigger buildings, and then on the ground I would devastator a couple of times, rinse repeat (after consuming one or two dudes for Critical Mass).
I beat the game for a second time in New Game+ mode on the weekend, my second playthrough taking me six hours (I'm assuming this is because I have all my upgrades which makes it a hell of a lot easier to speed through it). I agree with Sarevok though, what with the abrupt cutscene endings but oh well, what Alex says in the final cinematic really amazed me. The storyline is excellent compared to some of the 'next gen' games these days.
Looking forward to the second game, I believe they left too many loose ends open to not have a sequel.
Also what the fuck happened to Dana. Nah I'm sorry you don't just IGNORE A PLOT POINT LIKE THAT
