Prototype Is VERY HARD
- Thread starter PauL o_O
- Start date
Just to chime in here, the game is really rough. I'm at the part where you need to fight off seven hunters (after getting claws) and I have no idea how on earth I'm supposed to do it. The first one isn't bad, but when the other two come in I just get mauled. They are faster than me, they knock me down, they don't mind me hitting them, whenever I try to line up any kind of jump attack on one of them, the other jumps me from behind. Even if I do take them out, I'm usually too low on health to handle the next wave of FOUR FREAKING HUNTERS. Oh, and to make it even better, even though there's a bunch of soldiers around, you can't really use them for healing because whenever you try to consume one a hunter will knock you down.
As a side note, I'm also playing Jagged Alliance 2 at the moment, so I'm basically alternating between two frustration fests

Wait your having problems with this game? I'm blazing through it, then again I pour all of my points into health and shit first.
Really, I think so far it has been quite easy. Mostly because you HAVE ALMOST EVERY SUPER POWER KNOWN TO EXHIST!!
I just blade spammed it, lucky for me she fell into a pattern. Wave attack, green balls, then a 30 second down time where she just through rocks, which is when I dropped down from the tallest nearby building and dropped all of her tentacles down half health before it cycled again. Though I've watched streams of battles with her and she didn't behave this way everytime.
Pfft, if you think thats hard, wait until you fight "The Mother", which is after protecting a stationary target from waves of super hunters.
Okat, here is this "realy difficult game" from my point of view.
Bosses are not realy hard, they are just boring an repeptative, killed Greene after first try, simply run at side streets behind the houses, grab a cab jump in sight throw the cab then hide again(remember to lock on).
This fight gets 10 times easier when the military brings alot of gear, hijacking any and all vehicles near u save alot of HP and atleast I got to take alot of HP away from the worm thingy version of greene with vehicles before they were broken down.
when he gets stunned I always jumped out coz vehicles do very little damage to the stunned wormy greene. Usualy Smacking away (with your favorite weapon, full load smacks, when it starts rising and starts going underground, I suggest devastator, sometimes u get to hit greene but the bigger point is for the adds. I usualy gather a large horde beating on my back while damagin greene so I needed to get some personal space.
Hope that helps. BTW. I played straigth with normal coz hard was locked(I want more like Halo series where u can go streight to legedery difficulty).
Off-topic = From my point of view, the hardest part of the game are the minigames (atleast until u get fully upgraded they get to be a breeze, only thing that can haper progeress is a technical issuel or for assisting modes bad spawns.

After a bit more playing I think I've figured out what the problem is:
The game isn't hard itself, it just has a well disguised learning curve. The fact of the matter is, the main character is pretty much a God and I honestly can't recall any game where I played anyone remotely that strong. Assuming some degree of success in completing sidequests and finding Web of Intrigue characters you'll have more than enough EPs to buy a solution to every problem.
The trick is to realize what the solution is and then buy/use it. Hunters used to be hard (see my post earlier), now that I've gotten Hunter Dirtnap they are target practice. Strike teams used to be an annoyance. Since I got the Whip, they are free XP. The list goes on. It's all down to getting a degree of proficiency with the controls (I'm using keyboard + mouse, a controller is likely easier) and knowledge of your powers.

I haven't even seen screenshots but I am sooo getting this game. It sounds like playing ninja gaiden blindfolded.
Dude, screw screens shots: http://www.gametrailers.com/video/review-prototype/51505
BTW. My oppinnion is get it on PC (unless your comb sucks, then get it on 360 and live with the tiny flaws on 360(On my PC I have no technical dificulties described on gametrailers.com's review.)
Jandau, its true that this is THE most powerful game character atm released (except for games like Black and White where your a god figure... ) but yea, almost everymission could easily be completed after 1 death (if your new to its type), after that u know what to do and basicly wtfpwn anything in sight.
Dys, atleast i wouldn't say its harder than anygame; only problem for me is the third person view. Used to be playing from first person view. The characters skin sometimes ends up in my way and sometimes any number of small objects or just a big creature/vehicle would end up messing my view(I don't usualy chill with heat/infection view).

I played on normal the first time through and it wasn't very difficult.
On the whole I actually thought that it was a bit too easy, the soldiers are hella weak though it makes sense that they should be dead after one hit from Alex's weapons but still...
and for the supreme hunter
Normal enemy killing goes as follows:
humans/infected: everything kills them quickly, whip works best since you can kill heaps at a time.
Hunters: Blade air-slam works best, it's usually a 1-hit-KO, without the blade I recommend hunter dirtnap or hammer fists.
Tanks: Blade air slam and hammer elbow drop works best. Hammers work well against tanks, lacking hammers just throw shit at them.
Helicopters: Blade air slam and hammer elbow drop works best. Lacking those powers, use the flying kick or cannonball, throwing stuff works well too but it's not as awesome as the cannonball.
Hydras: Throw stuff or use a tank/helicopter. Blade works well too
Really? When I fought her it wasn't that hard, it took ages but it wasn't that difficult.Khazoth said:
looking at her from the opposite way the bloodtox truck is facing, go to the street that's 2 streets away from her (when you're in that street she can't hit you at all)
around the corner, absorb people to get to full critical mass
run up the beige-y/orangey building and on to one of the terraces overlooking Elizabeth
go full body armour
jump down close to her
use the critical pain devastator on her, use as many times and you can
when critical mass is gone, go back to that that street, ditch the armour (if she uses the blood wave then it would be a good idea to ditch the amour first) and equip the blade
wait a few seconds then run up a building then lock on to one of the hunters that will certainly be there
jump off the wall and use the blade's air slam move, do that for the other hunters then absorb people to get full critical mass
When she falls down, use the critical pain devastator if you have critical mass but if you don't then hack at her with the blade.
use that well and you will not die at all.
I actually find that the whip sucks against bosses, it's awesome against normal enemies but against bosses it's rather irritating, I mostly use it to pick up people to absorb during boss fights.

and for the supreme hunter
equip the blade and full armour (you can't hit him with the air slam, he blocks it)
hack at him until he's stunned, grab him and keep punching until he throws you off
use a helicopter if you feel like it but only use the strongest missiles, he destroys the helicopter in a few seconds so make it count
when low on health, absorb a soldier on the spot but if you're really low then jump up onto the control station and absorb them there
when he does the tendril devastator RUN AWAY, take a soldier with you and absorb it if you can but get the hell away
when the tendrils are at their full length, hit him with the blade's air slam since that's the only time that he's vulnerable to air attacks.
Repeat until victorious.

Amm Future Hero, I actualy did the kill tanks without air slash on hard dificulty with gold 10 minutes ago, not realy that hard, only problem is that they sometimes spawn at gay distances so had to try about 7 times, but got it.
Tanks bust open with 2 Charged #1 attack buttons attacks on full power(about 4 seconds to complete so sometimes interrupted before the second attack connects but then they only need one).
