Prototype

[Proteus-X312]

I totally agree Paradigm. As soon as I finished it, I immediately wanted to play again. There is loads of fun in this game, and awesome concepts to boot. I think theres room for improvement if they do a sequel, but this is a definite win, and a good achievement for Radical's first open world game NOT based on an existing franchise.

To be honest, my initial problem within the first hour of the game was I didn't feel drawn to Alex Mercer enough, or care enough about him so much, but when I finished, and with that ending movie, I really liked the direction he goes.... Had a great, Punisher/Wolverine/Jackie Estecado, tortured soul anti-hero feel to it. I want more! This game will totally fill the void before all the next batch of games comes out, and it will always please! Just levelling up your muscle mass so you can punch civillians into exploding, and then using your armour to just juggernaut through traffic makes itall worthwhile!

Cool you can upgrade the muscle mass right now it sucks cuz i'm still getting tore up by the hunters a bit but i just use the blade and cut them up. I guess i'll just do some more side missions for more ep for the muscle mass upgrade.Oh and how do i do the cannonball and uppercut techniques my tv is a little weird and i can't make out some of how i can do the moves.

Best way to kill...well...anything is use the Blade Air Drop attack. Kills Hunters, tanks, and helicoptes in one hit.

Thats what I've heard in reviews. I hope I get that power shortly. Does anyone know how to do the radial whip attack?

Its an upgrade. For Xbox you press B then Y.

I just beat it on Normal Mode today. I'm going to try and get most of the achievements as possible. Some of the side missions can be a pain in the ass.

 

[Paradyme]

Okay, I probably haven't unlocked it yet then.

 

[MadVillainy]

I finally unlocked every power, combat, vehicle, and weapons upgrade.
And over 70% in the web of intrigue

LOng way to go

 

[Storm22]

I'm loving this game now! It's like inFamous in that the more you get into the game, the more powers you unlock the better it becomes.

I've only played a few levels of the game but I really hate it so far. I just beat the first 'boss'. I'll continue playing since I paid 60 dollars for it but I really hope it gets better.

can't decide between this or Fight Night Round 4.

ROTFLMFAO

Good one man.It's funny cuz simply karate kicking the copter is just scratching the surface of what you can do in this game.I finally have the blade air slice and I have to say that's my weapon of choice against copters,tanks,hunters,etc.There are so many cool powers in this game that i have trouble choosing which one to use in a situation.For one thing i like using the groundspike against the tanks and the hunters but now i use the blade air slice.If I have to face large crowds i use the whipfist to clear them all out.Then if you like you can hijack a copter or tank and take them all out that way or steal a weapon from a soldier and use that.The versatiltiy in this game is just awesome.

To be honest i don't feel liek this was worth the money at all. I love using the right analog stick to control the camera but they just _had_ to make the targeting system change from target to target with it.... >: (

I think the combat could easily get fixed if you'd gain health from kills because its not fun at all to be an all-powerful punk and then run away from your enemies like a coward. I mean would you enjoy to do that if you were Wolverine/Venom kind of a monster? =P

The story itself is imo just a spit to my face, its obviously obvious and i don't see how they try to retain Alex as a human when they allowed to game to be played as total destruction havock guy or so. I mean i don't see why i can't just kill Regnald or whoever the black doctor is to gain his knowledge on curing myself, why am i being an errand boy when i can obviously just gain the knowledge from people? >_> I dunno maybe im just too pleased with Infamous or so, meh. :/

Just got through the mother boss fight last night.

Jesus, talk about a tedious boss battle.

 

[MadVillainy]

ya that battle was all hit and run

but the final boss is actually really cool

 

[CELTICPRED]

A charged whipfist in the air worked decent, but then I'd get pinned in a corner by 3 or 4 hunters, and the boss would keep shooting those green orbs and rocks at me. Pissed off royally.

 

[MadVillainy]

tanks were the best option just a couple of mortar shots go a long way

 

[CELTICPRED]

Never thought of jacking one of the tanks.





I was just worried about being fast and attacking and running, replenishing my health and doing it again.

 

[El_Citrus]

I rented this game yesterday and just got my blade and armor a while ago, and so far I love this game. GTA felt too, bland for me, as an open world game, but with Prototype, it's amazing just moving around a beautifully rendered NYC. Overall, I can't help but feel like this game is a prototype (pun intended) for a more refined, much more fluid sequel since I felt like the controls could use a bit of refining, but everything involved with it is great thus far, especially the wide range of weapons and techniques you can use.

For a sequel, I hope we see maybe a bit more stealth involved and more refined graphics and animations.

The tanks didn't seem to last very long for me. They were good for breaking her down a bit, but I started to do a lot of "throw-and-run" and it worked well. I was tossing cars, people and eventually AC units at the *****.

The last boss was a royal pain in the ass. On normal mode I beat him with 1 second left on the timer.

Definitely the single most annoying part of the game, especially on bosses that have many adds running around.

I think the combat could easily get fixed if you'd gain health from kills because its not fun at all to be an all-powerful punk and then run away from your enemies like a coward. I mean would you enjoy to do that if you were Wolverine/Venom kind of a monster? =P

I did get health back from killing creatures. Hell, you get even MORE health back if you absorb them.

The story itself is imo just a spit to my face, its obviously obvious and i don't see how they try to retain Alex as a human when they allowed to game to be played as total destruction havock guy or so. I mean i don't see why i can't just kill Regnald or whoever the black doctor is to gain his knowledge on curing myself, why am i being an errand boy when i can obviously just gain the knowledge from people? >_> I dunno maybe im just too pleased with Infamous or so, meh. :/

I figure Alex is just trying to retain his humanity and not kill "innocent" people. While the doctor may have an idea how to cure him, the doctor doesn't know how it will react and how to go from there until it happens. Alex seems to be able to retain memories and even motor skills (weapons, vehicles and such) but I'm not sure if he can apply complex skills (like consuming a mathematician and asking him to solve some huge equation).

ok guys straight up this or infamous

i havent even rented this yet because no one has it available.

It's hard to say because i think it depends on what you like...

Prototype is more violent and chaotic.There is alot and i do mean ALOT going on in all of the battles in this game

Infamous is more of a thinking game to me.In the sense that Cole can be hurt very easily and die quickly so you have to be careful how you approach different waves of gangs.All of the gangs have godlike sniping abilities so you have to think before you act.You can pretty much go all out in Prototype and mow through almost anything
So if you like more violence and destruction go for Prototype
If you like a little more strategy go for Infamous.

 

[Proteus-X312]

I also have to add that in infamous you can choose to be good or evil,whereas in prototype you are an anti-hero.You're free to kill anyone or anything to accomplish your mission.

 

[Hush]

I love this game and think its better than Infamous but Infamous is a great game as well.
