Zero Punctuation: Prototype

[Destroyer5609]

I like Prototype better. And one think that made the story confusing, Yahtzee, is that you probably didn't do the Web of Intrigue, which reveals the storyline. And when you consumed people(The mains one anyways), did you watch the cutscenes?
And as for the Bra thing.Fan art on the Activision forums drawn by Kaxen

I think the thread was posted earlier

Yeah i posted it earlier if you hadnt noticed and BTW alot of them are good and the comics drawn by kaxen are funny as well.

Yup, even the character inconsistency was explained later.

They're action lines kids. His power is manifested in red and black...

I agree, but emo Peter Pan is still funny! He cuts children's wrists so that they never grow old.

And even though it wasn't much of a review, it was still great.

Like allways.

I lol'd

Well being a confused amnesiac with god powers tends to be... Confusing and thus you make conflicting choices and the Web of Intrigue explains the character quite nicely.

I think I may be the only person insane enough to have downloaded and converted every single ZP up to this point for my iTunes, let alone figuring out that this video was his 98th counting his 3 videos from YouTube... I think I may need a life

No, you don't need a life. I myself are tying to look for a way to download Yahtzee's vids via AVI files or MKV files.

As for the games, I liked Prototype better even though I only have PS3 as my console. Although it could use some polish. It would've been so much better if these 2 games are combined to become a LESS-flawed and MORE fun game.

Ah, as usual hilarity ensues in Yahtzee reviews...

 

[mechalynx]

You know, I was thinking that when I watched this. XD

From what was said about both games, I think I would probably like Prototype better, just from noting all of the terrifically funny horrible things you get to do in game. I usually rate a game on how much fun you can have farting around and not actually playing the story. But-- that's just my take on what was given. I'd need to play them both to really make a judgment.

This is pretty similar to the feeling I was left with after playing this game.
At first I was intrigued by the concept of the web of... intrigue. but after about 1.5 of its videos I realized it was just a lazy way to attempt to add meaning and depth to an otherwise pointless game. (that's not to say its not fun to run around and kill stuff for a while)
Also, something you didn't touch on that I think really brings the game down a notch is the really dated textures and lazy animations on the exploding hives/military bases. you see the same poor looking building explosion about 500 times by the time you're through the game, and the textures really looked rushed (to compete with infamous I presume). not that graphics make or break a game, but they definitely take away from the depth if they're extremely repetitive

Hmm Infamous gets its own review while Prototype gets a Head-to-Head... Kinda not fair.

It seems Yahtzee didn't really play Prototype all the way to the end, like criticizing the amnesiac Alex that you start out as. There actually is nice twist towards the end that explains a lot of stuff including this.

Emo peter pan, classic, rofl

 

[Momo86]

Again yet ANOTHER awesome anti-review by ZP i have never failed to laugh at any of his anecdotes put downs loved the E£ Hype massacre as well was amazing "you uncoy B*&^H" AWESOEM keep up the good work!! ZP RULES

 

[oak the tree]

comparing infamous and prototype feels like watching a "vs" of gta4 and saints row2 (kinda)
in thte sense that when you boil it down, "story" means shit when playing prototype as its built like saints row2 (have fun in a bloody cluster fuck) and does a good job with it as well, while infamous felt like playing a superhero (fallout) with the damned moral choices. not to say its bad but take these two games as what they are.

Yahtzee, you're in rare form these days...
So, judging from your review...
InFamous is the game I should get of the two (because I like a game that actually makes sense and isn't Fahrenheit-level bananas, as well as one which doesn't require you to murder tons of dudes. You're talking to someone whose first Iji run was a 6-kill pacifist run. Plus anything with lightning is awesome in my book.)
And for my brother, Prototype is the better idea. (This is the kid who doesn't give a crap about plot and spent most of his time in Crackdown running all over the place and smushing the innocent civilians, while most of the gangs are still intact... I don't honestly know why I bought him that game. But he'd definitely enjoy a game with tons of murder and a billion ways to do it.)

If you need a tiebreaker, I motion that InFamous gets the extra 1/2 point for being made by Sucker Punch. I love Sly Cooper... (edit) Speaking of the tiebreaker, I wouldn't be surprised if Sucker Punch actually did that. I hope they do; it'd be funny as hell...



Also, about this...

This one made me lol. I still hate ZP so I give it a -1.

Then you're RETARDED.
