Prototype

Just started playing this game and am really enjoying it.

What are your thoughts on it and how does the sequel compare to this one?
Lastly, are there more games like this?

The sequel is shit, sadly. I enjoyed the first game a lot, the gameplay was really fun.

they destroyed the story in the sequel

I was surprised with Prototype. Really fun game. Let me live out my edgy fantasy of being a powerful body morphing creature pretty well.

Dont play the sequel

>Running through traffic parkouring over cars
>Get the shield ability
>Running through traffic plowing through everything on the road
It's a bit edgy but damn it it's one of the best open world games as far as giving you a fun set of tools to fuck about with.

First game is pretty damn fun

Especially once you get some upgrades and want to just run around destroying stuff.

2nd game is good gameplay wise with how they changed the 'mutations' but the story is questionable.

The studio who made these games seems to be still around they've just been quiet all this time. Unless they got absorbed by a bigger studio.

How are the remastered versions?

It's a good game and really fun to fuck around in the open world. The sequel has a trash story and totally ruins Mercer's character as well as just completely dropping any open questions from the end of the first game.

The sequel improves upon the first in every conceivable way in the gameplay department don't listen to the contrarians, the story in the first game is a mess with all sorts of plot threads that don't really get addressed in either game, the second games plot is more straight forward with a more relatible MC, ultimately whither you like the story or is subjective but the gameplay is top notch on PT2

Pretty good, surprisingly okay story.
The sequel is superior in some mechanical ways, gameplay wise. Its also complete trash otherwise.

In terms of similar games:
Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction is the same game but with the Hulk.
Saints Row 4, to a point.
Crackdown.
Infamous, obviously.

>running over a car
>grab it when on top of it and do a flip
>throw car into helicopter in distance
Fucking 10/10 gameplay.

sequel is much better

Pretty much exactly the same

They were relegated into a side studio now.
Their most recent work is contributing to Destiny 1.

The Sequel is actually just as fun but there were a few cool power ups that got removed.
The part that Prototype 2 fucked up was the story, but honestly who played this shit for the story in the first place? Not me.

2 has good gameplay, just ignore the story or pretend it is an alternate timeline.
Prototype was always better than Infamous.

Yeah Saints Row 4 is surprisingly fun, though to really get the most mileage out of it I recommend playing with a friend.

Hulk: Ultimate Destruction is by the same team. It's basically the same game but instead of this changing, morphing, semi-edgy murder machine you're The fucking Hulk and you just SMASH shit.

You like it now but wait until you get to THAT mission. You'll know which one I'm talking about.

>prototype was always better than Infamous

Which one? The escort mssion?

awful

they fucked them up

We will never find out what would happen if Mercer and Pariah ever met.

anyone else think mercer looks really retarded in that pic?

his eyes look un-even and stuff

Hes right you know

If that's the one with the tank, then yeah

How many of you motherfuckers piledrove someone off the tallest building you could find

I used to do that in Spiderman 2, of course you can't really kill anyone in Spiderman 2 so they just had hurt backs and neck after being drove into the ground from the Empire State building

I actually love Prototype 2 for a specific reason. Gameplay is good, story is shit but my favorite thing are the BlackWatch audio logs. Just recordings of shady psycho militairy guys

I terrilbly lack imagination. The worst I would do was find the highest point, jump from there then dive onto the ground to make the biggest crater I could.

I was thinking of the one where you escort the bloodtox pumper, but that one works too.

>Running around the city with a person in your claw just because you could

I don't understand why everyone hates P2. Alex being evil is fucking stupid but the gameplay was WAAAAY fucking better than P1.

A single gameplay mechanic change made me hate the sequel. In the original when you jumped into the air you could hold the jump button while airborne to charge your next jump, and when you hit the ground you could immediately execute a maximum powered jump again. In the sequel you couldn't though, and could only charge your jumps on the ground. Really tickled my autism and couldn't get through it.

First game was a lot of fun and the web of memories got me interested in the story. Second game unfortunately dropped all the hype that was built up by the first, but I hear gameplay was pretty good.

It polished up some mechanics at the cost of gutting several powers, removing an entire playstyle and then shit all over the characters and organizations in play, boiling them down to the most basic and uninteresting levels while completely flipping Alex as a character. Then as further insult or simply a fucking afterthought, they 'explain' why he's gone full saturday-morning villain in a goddamn tie-in comic.

Yeah but it was fun

>those abysmal parkour controls when trying to scale buildings with lots of edges during timed challenges
kill me

Tentacle and biobomb were fun

The second game has the same great gameplay but the story is trash compared to first game

Dont let anyone tell you the sequel is bad.
Its literally more of the same except this time you play as a black dude.

Also the plot is still retarded.

>mfw convincing an entire squad of soldiers to kill each other

>Dont let anyone tell you the sequel is bad.
>you play as a black dude.

The arguments write themselves

I wanted to like the sequel but is so shitty, totally a stepback from the first game:
>dificulty is dumbed down HARD, enemies are just walking sponges.
>the best armor has no drawbacks. so once you unlock it (pretty early) there is no reason to rotate between them like in the first game.
>mc has no personality besides muh daughter, dude literally couldn't be more bland.
>final boss is just a long QTE scene.
>you can't destroy buildings with infected anymore, instead you are teleported to random sewers and forced to kill a bunch of monsters.
>the story is a fucking mess and the villain is a generic "I won't kill you now, I will let you grow and then when you are stronger than me I will fight you and you will kill me muahahaha"

>>the story is a fucking mess and the villain is a generic "I won't kill you now, I will let you grow and then when you are stronger than me I will fight you and you will kill me muahahaha"


ohhh fuck this

To be fair the first game had a pretty shit story to begin with. But yeah the second game is worse.

It was though. Infamous had a better story maybe but it was just generic boring vidya otherwise. Prototype was pure concentrated godmode in a box. It was a fucking blast just moving around in that game.

>Satisfying beat'm up
>OP but not immortal PC
>Can disguise as enemy squad
>Destroying enemy base feels so good.
Why there are no more games like this anymore these days?
