VGM writes: "Prototype stars Alex Mercer, a mysterious sort of fellow with shape-shifting powers. A horrible virus is spreading throughout the city and Alex must get to the bottom of things while also discovering a few things about his past. A main character with amnesia? No way! Still though, who needs a main character with an original backstory when you have super powers? Apart from absorbing other people to assume their forms and gain their abilities, Alex can shape his arms and hands into a variety of weapons, like spikes and blades. Your attacks are split into heavy and light attacks and like any action game worth its salt, stringing together combos is the way to get things done in style. "Project Blackwatch", a military organization trying to contain the virus as well as take you in will be (unintentionally) providing you with vehicles and primitive human weaponry like "guns" and things like that, but using those would kind of be missing the point, much like driving cars in the Xbox 360 super-cop simulator, Crackdown."
From Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and Batman: Arkham City to breakout hit Dispatch and new Marvel Cosmic Invasion, these are 10 of the best superhero games you can play today.
Not all video game protagonists are sweet, jolly, or wholesome. Folks like Agent 47 are cold, ruthless, and reserved and it shows.
I'd like to believe Joel's situation is more about turning into a calloused survivor in a cold-hard world who may have made selfish decisions. Not inherently ruthless.
Ah, fond memories of strangling all the people in their hotel rooms in Hitman 1
Lara Croft, Nathan Drake etc, cos they pretend to be the good guys but are mass murderers that show no remorse.
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.
