Prototypes Story: A different perspective

[IsoNeko]

What Prototype lacks in Main Story Missions, it makes up for in the Web of Intrigue.

Rather than be force fed your bullshit. You have to earn it by getting the WoI targets. This way, the backstory is there for you if you so need it, and the story doesn't interfere with the game.

Rather than put the plot with the story, it seperates them and gives you 2 seperate paths to follow. Those that complain about lack of story, just weren't looking in the right direction.

So, what do you think: Did this game mechanic work for you, or do you prefer being fed your bullshit throughout the Plot.

Meh, as long as I can splatter the screen with red, I'm happy.

I think it's a good idea, and I love how the Web of Intrigue clips are done, but I don't think they sell the story so well. There are a few of them that just has people saying stuff like "Sir yes Sir!" where you don't learn anything about the game or it's story what-so-ever.

But I think stories that have hidden meanings are good, and that have hidden bits that you only get if-you-look-for-them are even better. So yeah, I think Prototype did well with the story, and enjoyed getting Web of Intrigue entries.
