Explain to me again how 7.5 is a bad score.mjhhiv said:I know, I'm just saying that IGN is the only one to give Prototype a bad score so far.
Would you be satisfied with a 75 on a paper in class?Kermi said:Why the hell is everyone acting like 7.5 is a bad score? Jesus CHRIST people, 7.5 is a perfectly acceptable score. Why does it need to be a 9.9 before you're willing to play it?
Why on earth would you care about the ZP review? He hates everything, I guarantee you he's not going to like Prototype.Lunatic_Monk said:I don't really care about reviews. Unless it is Zero Punctuation.
Eh... that's quite liable to change. infamous had a high 90 score until they started adding more reviews. The xbox version is already at 87 with only 5 reviews, inFamous has an 85 with 74 reviews. They're going to be similarly rated, I think. Both are going to end up with a mid 80s, prototype might get slightly lower but I'd be surprised if it dropped below 78 on metacritic. Are you really going to quibble about 2 or 3 points to say "which game is better?" Can you express in words what is the difference in quality between an 85 and an 87?Fightbulb said:Well, a 7.5 seems reasonable, he makes some good points.

For now, at least.
They didn't? Then I guess since I like Assassin's Creed very, very much, I will love Prototype.FROGGEman2 said:I don't trust IGN... They didn't like Assassins Creed...
Good luck with 4-5 hours. There are at least 20+ hours of storyline, excluding free roaming and destruction and side quests.tarquin biscuitbarrel said:i don't buy anything that gets <8.5 on ign.
the <8.5 tend to be very average games. after playing some of the ~7 games before i adopted the 8.5+ plan, i have largely avoided disappointment. any ign highly rated game i've bought over the last few years has been well worth the money.
paying £30 for an average game feels like a large kick to the balls, as i play those games (and usually finish it in 4-5 hours) then wish i'd spent that time playing tf2 or counterstrike... or wish i'd wasted even more time and installed an old game like cod2 or starcraft and add to my zillion hours clocked on those.
Did you play it? If you didn't, how would you know it's repetitive?-Orpheus- said:I seem to have avoided the hype around this (if there was any) and now I can see why. It looks alright but I imagine it will get old fast. Seems too repetitive for my tastes.
I am in the same boat =/ guess I'll have to just wait it out and see which ones die out first.mjhhiv said:It's worth noting that this has a 93 on metacritic, at the time of writing.
I can't make heads or tales of this. Prototype looks (like, graphically) really awful, but every review says otherwise save IGN's. Prototype looks like it has an interesting story, every review says it does, other than IGN's. The gameplay looks fun, but not as polished as inFamous, from everything I've seen so far.
Between the three open-world games released recently (Red Faction, inFamous, Prototype), I honestly have no idea which to buy.
