I think it is only my duty as a gamer...

Im pretty sure its gonna be loaded with quick time events and lag like a snail.

I doubt it will be full of quick time what so ever although I can understand a bit of frame rate drop. But that comes with most sandbox games at some points, inFamous was noted for frame rate drop in places.

I am not an expert on all fields of human knowledge, and I don't have that kind of time. Try using Wikipedia as an academic source and see what happens.

I don't like the "word" gameplay because it is too simplistic, and I still don't have a definition. From what I can gather though, it's something like "the overall experience one has when playing a game" is that correct?

The problem is, game debates turn out like this.

"This game has bad gameplay."
"This game is better because it has good gameplay."
"This game has better gameplay than yours."
"HOLY SHIT THIS IS THE GAMIEST GAMEPLAY GAME I'VE EVER GAMED!!!"

First if all, people can say stupid vague shit with 'real words' too, so I don't see your point.

Here's an article talking about wikipedia's growing level of acceptance in the academic world:

Secondly, you should check wikipedia's page on academic use:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Academic_use

Wikipedia states that should not cite wikipedia as a source but rather cite the sources that the wikipedia poster has earmarked. Wikipedia remains a great resource to find citations on a specific topic from sites that contain things like .edu and .gov. If you had to research a recent cultural phenomon like 'rickrolling', it remains to be one of your best options.

I'd also like to point out that you cited two angry-rant-comedy-blogs to back yourself up.

You also admit that it would take you a significant amount of time to find something incorrect on wikipedia.

I remember an Encyclopedia Britannica entry on Hitler that began: "Adolph Hitler is one of the most evil men in world history." That's hardly subjective and unbiased.

If you really wanna argue semantics, it might be more interesting to talk about how:
"A seagull is not a bird."
"Black is not a color."
"Zero is not a number."

How do you figure that Insomnia is a comedy WEBSITE.

I still don't know what "gameplay" means, so can you just tell me please? That's all I really want. I am just having problems grasping the concept, I admit I have this problem alot.

Gameplay...as in, how the game plays. Its really simple. Everything you do in a game, is gameplay, which is what you rate when you say "Halo has great gameplay because of the diverse range of enemies you can fight" or "Gears of War's innotive cover system really adds to the gameplay in the sense it makes the game more immersive as bullets tear chunks out of the pillar you are crouching behind." etc etc

You could have mentioned it is about Prototype.

it was a given

Not before I stumbled into this thread I thought I was going to find something thought provoking or interesting. If the thread had been titled "Another Prototype Clone Thread" maybe a few of my brain cells might not have jumped off the cliff in an effort to make the hurting stop.

He or She did good work into fooling us.

I never buy into the hype that surrounds something. I will most likely rent it and make my decision from there.

No game will ever be as awesome as the awesome awesomeness that is the awesomeness of Brutal Legend. Its not even out yet and its the best game ever.

I've been looking forward to this game. Nothing more. I'll probably get it but Killzone 2 and Fallout 3 come first.

Looks like Crackdown except with more superpowers, and the vehicle jacking looks like Mercenaries 2. If it is like the Mercenaries 2 system, press X to steal tank (I really don't like the quick time events). interesting though, because I enjoyed both of those games. It will get a rent at the least.

It's just Crackdown on steroids. Yet while nobody gave a crap about Crackdown, everyone's getting hyped to death over this Prototype thing. What gives?
