Prototype is definitely not a bad game, it just isn't the must have action title it could have been. As Alex Mercer, you have access to some insane abilities that seem to unleash a level of creativity and uniqueness rarely before seen in gaming and the action provided as a result is quite intense at times, but this intensity just doesn't last long enough. The mistake Prototype seems to make is assuming that just because the gamer controlled character can do all these physically impossible things, it must mean he is fun to control.
But that just isn't always the case and it certainly isn't a constant source of enjoyment from start to finish. Such a game still needs the environmental detail and atmosphere to impress, the story to immerse, the variation to fuel, none of which Prototype does nearly well enough. Give it a rent by all means, but TweakTown wouldn't recommend a blind purchase, unless you're open to "one and done" gaming purchases.
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.
