I'd agree that Alex mercers stupid "I must protect the city, by killing as many innocent people as possible in the most entertaining way" viewpoint did annoy me, but then I got distracted by cannonballing into helicopters as an old granny.

Then again you have to think of it like this, the virus is spreading and people are getting infected. *Spoilers* You can't assume in the beginning that there will be a cure and he is eventually preventing the inevitable of the civilians if worse comes to worse.

Back against the wall, about to be erased, and thinking of the greater good, how best to show the world that there is a dangerous weapon? Use the weapon. Not saying it is right but it made a sick sort of sense to me. That is assuming that you are talking about what I think you are talking about. If you are not, I don't recall him ever wanting to defend the city, more like Find the Truth and punish those who had wronged him. He just didn't care about the rest unless I missed something like a thicky after playing it into post game for a total of 54 hours now, which would be embarassing. :/

What the fuck? Why is everyone getting punished for saying that a video was good, or that they got first post.

I love Yathzee!
(BANNED)
FIRST POST!
(PROBATION)
Game Review?
(SUSPENSION)

WTF? Escapist went craze with punishing people for the most retard things. You can't even comment on the reviews without getting in trouble! Chill out mods, let the people have their fun! Also I'm talking about the strictness on ALL the video treads, not just this one!

(BANNED, SUSPENSION, PROBATION, MAIN CHARATER FROM PROTOTYPE SENT TO YOUR HOUSE)



Anyway, the pics that Yahtzee gets are both equily good and it's still a tie.
They were only for a relativly short period. I for one dont want to see three or so posts on every thread on this forum taken up by 'first post' crap comments. This way they wont make that mistake again, because as a whole, it is not wanted. Both ban's came from 'first post comments and the second one was worse because he obviously knew better.

great review on both games. I love the end part where it shows the two main characters fighting each other. I bet you some fangirl is going to make some yaoi between them
Only an idiot would take that bet. It's obvious.
well I'm that idiot who is going to take the bet. I bet sooner or later it will come out. because of rule 34
No, I meant only an idiot would take the other side of the bet. It's obvious that someone's gonna make some prototypeXinFAMOUS yaoi

Pretty fucking funny.
I hope he does Sims 3 at some point. I imagine he'd fine a lot of good things to tear on. The game itself, for instance.

Not relevant at all, "Lol first post!" Nothing to do with the video itself.

That is incredibly biased, you are judging a game just because it is on a different console? *Tisk Tisk*

since games nowadays are all about the most entertaining way to propel an innocent bystander's intestines and lungs to a distance of half a football field away from one another,
Since when?

I mean, Prototype is all about the epic beat-the-crap-outta-everything-and-then-a-little-bit-more splooge-blasting off-the-rocks fun than anything else, but that doesn't essentially make it a great game. Sure, it's fun, but only until you've grown tired of exploring the numerous alternative ways you can make people wear their asses. The plot ain't great, and I can't help but feel that they're somehow afraid this were to get pointed out so they "concealed" it by breaking it up into a million pieces and scattering them to make it 'confusing yet deep'.

So yeah, Prototype is a fun game, but it's quite limited beyond it's fighting element, which you eventually grow tired of.
Well, the way I see it, games are made for their gameplay. Prototype, being a fighting game, has a gameplay that naturally revolves around if is not entirely dependent on fighting, which isn't a bad thing, because (like you said) smacking a guy's head down below his shoulders and the like is fun. And there are very many ways to "make people wear their asses."

Prototype's plot does suck. But that doesn't make it a bad game. The plot is more like a way to get you from one killfest to the next, which is the real reason you're playing the game anyway. If you want a good plot, read a book.

You can eventually grow tired of any game. You might put down the controller after four glorious hours of God of War, but that doesn't make it a bad game, it just means you don't want to go blind.

Bottom line:
Killing stuff = fun
Plot = who cares?

I don't like how they're doing little comercials before the review now. It's already annoying enough to have to click x on the little box on the bottom. Pretty good review tho. Not as laugh out loud funny as it was informative since I don'f feel like buying them both. And just for the sake of not taking the diplomatic award from Koos, fuck twat bloody cunting kidney stone

I believe the guys with the silver streaks in their hair and brown jackets with patches on the elbows are supposed to be the old men, at least that is what I have called them.

lol it does seem like overkill to ban someone for that.... especially when they only seem to 'admin' the first few posts of each thread..
Most of those items are low content posts, which we ask people not to do because they don't add to any thread or discussion. As for posting "FIRST!", I won't even respond to that. Other forums may allow it, we don't, plain and simple.

[user]Lord Krunk[/user] made a great thread here: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.112832 We liked it so much we put it at the top of the Off-Topic Forums page.

I suppose, but no elderly woman yet =/
They have the fluffier coats and the brown hair with the narrow face. They are a bit stooped so I can only assume they are supposed to be elderly. Yes, I have dicked around that much to remember pedestrian sprites... >_>
