Prototype 2 is Horrible

I'll play Prototype 2 (when I can afford it... and run it) because I enjoyed the first one. It wont be something with a deep story to it that I'll get immersed into, but a fun, mindless, gory, violence game with some fun free roaming.
I am disappointed that the developers couldn't come up with a better story than "Boo hoo, He killed my family, I'll justify it with heaps of murder", It would be nice to have a character with who is mentally unstable and believes everyone is full of candy, so it's his duty to empty candy out of people for the children.

I wouldn't really call it horrible, but it is very cheap, everything from writing, visuals, animations, gameplay,... it's just all done on a low budget.
Sticking a triple A price tag on such a game is the real issue with it.
But for me it actually doesn't seem that far off from the first game.

This universe gave us Too Human. So yes.tony2077 said:
I know right? It's an arcane concept lost to these lands. The escapist community insists about bitching about everything when we could be curing all the worlds diseases and coming up with a genetic augmentation to make women lactate DR Pepper. (no misogyny intended) Which seems like a better use of everyone's time.Rawne1980 said:

Every time I see an add for Prototype 2 I keep looking for something that they have changed. I really don't see why they even bothered switching main characters really (I mean come on we all know they could have just BSed an excuse for why Alex wasn't all powerful in this game there was no real reason to make a whole new character). The weapons are by in large the same. The enemies are for the most part the same and there really doesn't seem to be anything huge they added in to break up the monotony of it.
The problem I ran into with Prototype was that after you finished the main plot mission there was really nothing to do... I mean sure you could dick around for a few hours but it gets old pretty fast and there's really nothing too compelling to keep you playing.
I guess all I really want to know is do they say ANYTHING about what happened to Alex's sister?

So, what, I'm the only one who actually likes Prototype 2?
Seriously, everyone's all like "Oh, yeah, I knew it was going to be awful" after reading the OP's post. I don't see why everyone's agreeing with the OP even though they themselves haven't played the game.
It's fun. I like the first one and I'm liking the second one too.

Saying Prototype 2 is worst then AMY is going way ahead of yourself.
Heck i like the game. I like the non-sense chaos it gives. The controls work fine (at least for me), the story is flawed has well has the A.I. (yeah i admit that), but i am having fun. I like the way you level up and the way you are a god in the battlefield, a complete destructive beast.
Just because you didn't like it or don't know how to play it, doesn't mean it's bad and that everyone should hate it has well.
So Keep Calm, Relax and go play something else.

I'm liking it... i can obviously see some flaws in the game but i'm honestly liking it. I love the destruction and god-like powers to make chaos everywhere...GameMaNiAC said:
People need to see it more has a senseless chaos game, then has a story driven campaign (my opinion).
The biggest issue i had was with the tutorials... too many tutorials over simple things, made me wonder if the creators of the game think the casual player is a really retard moron.. xD
I remember watching the first 30 minutes of gameplay. It's like if someone goes
"Okay, we have an average game with lots of potential. Let's make it look worse, run worse, fill it with even more Quick time events, and make everything awkward as fuck."
"But sir, that's a terrible idea!"
"Fuck off, Jenkins."

Prototype was a fun game filled with not terribly much potential. It's basically a repeat of their Incredible Hulk game in which you smash stuff up. Story-wise, they can't repeat the mystery they did originally, because they already explained everything.hazabaza1 said:
Going in, I was expecting pretty much a reskinning of the first game and that's what it's shaping up to be. They've tweaked a fair bit, added a couple of powers and enemies; but I wasn't expecting things to be terribly different on that front. They've established a universe in the first game and they're pretty much obligated to just sprinkle a few new things on top of it.
Graphically, I think it looks pretty good. There's a lot more variety to the city (the first game was pretty much standard-issue New York) and the city's traffic actually feels kind of like you're in the middle of an outbreak... instead of it being business as usual while ignoring the infectious mutants slaughtering people across the street.
Control issues are still present. The camera still does weird things in the middle of melee combat, you still end up running up walls you didn't mean to, and so on. But so far I'm running into the same issues I ran into in the first game. I can see them attempting to add some of Arkham Asylum's combat style into the fights, but racking up combos in fights has never been the focus of the game, so it's a rough system that's undermined by the wonky camera.
Haven't noticed any quick-time events in the early going, apart from the tutorials which were just introducing you to the basic controls. The first game did a better job of throwing you into the middle of things. First giving you a taste of the powers to come with a chaotic (but ultimately simple) battle; then layering on your powers until you pass your final exam by taking down a chopper.
It's Prototype. It's about giving the player godlike powers and turning you loose without moral consequences. It's still piss-easy. It's still got the emotional resonance of a ham sandwich.
Honestly, this doesn't surprise me.
They could have made it a million times better than the first game, and it would still be the second worse game of all time.
Captcha: how about that! Yes, how about that indeed?
