He doesn't have to. The game honestly sells itself. "But Alex can shoot blood from his wrists at jet engine velocity and fly around like emo Peter-Pan", "Eat an old man, take his appearance, run all the way up the tallest building, then elbow drop 200 stories directly onto his confused and frightened wife", "Then sneak up behind two soldiers and eat one without one of his friends noticing and when the two of you get back to base accuse your friend of being you in disguise that when the other soldiers are distracted shooting him you eat them too!" Yeah... this game is fun, that is it's greatest selling point.twistedshadows said:
I'd agree that Alex mercers stupid "I must protect the city, by killing as many innocent people as possible in the most entertaining way" viewpoint did annoy me, but then I got distracted by cannonballing into helicopters as an old granny.
Then again you have to think of it like this, the virus is spreading and people are getting infected. *Spoilers* You can't assume in the beginning that there will be a cure and he is eventually preventing the inevitable of the civilians if worse comes to worse.george144 said:
Back against the wall, about to be erased, and thinking of the greater good, how best to show the world that there is a dangerous weapon? Use the weapon. Not saying it is right but it made a sick sort of sense to me. That is assuming that you are talking about what I think you are talking about. If you are not, I don't recall him ever wanting to defend the city, more like Find the Truth and punish those who had wronged him. He just didn't care about the rest unless I missed something like a thicky after playing it into post game for a total of 54 hours now, which would be embarassing. :/george144 said:
Nice! I love these videos! I personally prefer Infamous to prototype, but that's only my opinion.
They were only for a relativly short period. I for one dont want to see three or so posts on every thread on this forum taken up by 'first post' crap comments. This way they wont make that mistake again, because as a whole, it is not wanted. Both ban's came from 'first post comments and the second one was worse because he obviously knew better.lonercs said:
Prototype FTW because 360 is awesome
Also a little question that i would really aperciate if someone would answer it.
Why come the first person to post on a video gets banned or probation what the fuck escapist?

Well, the way I see it, games are made for their gameplay. Prototype, being a fighting game, has a gameplay that naturally revolves around if is not entirely dependent on fighting, which isn't a bad thing, because (like you said) smacking a guy's head down below his shoulders and the like is fun. And there are very many ways to "make people wear their asses."CMon said:
Prototype's plot does suck. But that doesn't make it a bad game. The plot is more like a way to get you from one killfest to the next, which is the real reason you're playing the game anyway. If you want a good plot, read a book.
You can eventually grow tired of any game. You might put down the controller after four glorious hours of God of War, but that doesn't make it a bad game, it just means you don't want to go blind.
Bottom line:
Killing stuff = fun
Plot = who cares?
I don't like how they're doing little comercials before the review now. It's already annoying enough to have to click x on the little box on the bottom. Pretty good review tho. Not as laugh out loud funny as it was informative since I don'f feel like buying them both. And just for the sake of not taking the diplomatic award from Koos, fuck twat bloody cunting kidney stone
