Zero Punctuation: Prototype

[hopeneverdies]

What's with everyone comparing inFamous and Prototype, sure they're both superhero-esque sandbox games but there really isn't much similarity

 

[black-magic]

Epic! I want to see those pics!

 

[Super Jamz]

Well

Why did this have to be a versus video? They aren't that similar, are they?

Well have you heard the amount of times they've been compared in interviews with the designers before the games were even out?

Similarity aside, i wish i cared enough to actually buy Prototype.

That's the thing about Prototype. The story, main characters, etc. all suck, but it makes up for it by being such a damn good sandbox game. The last part about how big of a jerk you get to be is hilarious because its so true.

 

[True Nero]

well, concidering that infamous is only for PS3, i'll probably get neither due to the fact that many friends have said nasty things about Prototype.

It was fun but yathzee seems to be trading game review quality for dick jokes lately. Not quite sure whether i like this.

I laugh when I see things like this, because it ALWAYS about the dick jokes.

lol at the "think whiny thoughts"

Can't wait for those pics, Ben!

Holy shit your on first name terms, I've been on this site for 6 months and he still makes me call him master and sir.

And sometimes Daddy.

I hope the two studios take up on the offer.

Hey, I get a suspension and he gets probation? That's not even fair.

You know you were going to get banned for it and even put it in your post!

Spinwhiz, you have to come to terms that some idiots hold being in the first three comments ABOVE ALL ELSE IN THE WORLD. If someone was about to murder them they would sprint to their laptop to post on the most recent popular video a mispelled and inaccurate "FISRT"

On topic for the video, I was Hoping he would do this game

I was also hoping I could buy it earlier, because I was planning on getting this game earlier today, but I forgot about an appointment I had so I m getting it later...

Although the first time I played it at my friends house I DID say "This is alot like infamous."

Though I prefer prototype...

For the reasons yahtzee states. You can pretty much have a right laugh no matter what, eating/absorbing everyone and then stabbing their best friend in the face with YOUR HAND.

 

[rorymclean12]

that was fun

 

[Zersy]

Yahtzee should review movies as well since we would luagh so hard from how he destroys them

 

[Kif]

Good stuff.

I cannot wait to see the antihero images, assuming the studios don't waste such an opportunity.

 

[chenry]

I really hope he gets those pictures.

Overall, I thought InFamous had better story and character, but Prototype has better action. They're both good.

 

[Stylish_Robot]

Wait, Yahtzee... you're saying you never did... this:

I'd say that's masochism and a half there...

I'm worse, I use the sick people in the clinic lying on the beds

[Specter_]

Doesn't load...

 

[Valkyira]

Theres always some idiot who tries to be the first comment and gets suspended. In this case there are 5 idiots.

I hope some interesting games come out soon, obviously it's not yahtzee's fault, but for a while now, I just haven't cared at all about the game he's reviewing.
This felt like one of the drier reviews he's done, not much anger or anything, just a comparison of two games with a few jokes thrown in. That's not really a criticism though, as I don't really know what else he's supposed to do with the current lot of games he has to review.
