How Prototype is blatantly better than inFAMOUS

http://www.destructoid.com/how-proto...5979.phtml#ext

Am I the only one with control issues with this game. A collectible on a spire is the bane of my exsistance when it comes to Prototype. Great for covering large distances, but I find control really breaks down in close quarters, or precise movements.

That's pretty funny.

He nailed a bunch of things I agree with. The upgrade system is so much better in Prototype and the climbing building issues in InFamous. After a few hours of playing, I still cannot tell what I can grab onto and what I can't. In Assassin's Creed it was very simple, never once had that problem. With InFamous, sometimes I reach for something and end up just falling back down.

That is the one type of place where I had issues as well. I eventually figured out alternate ways to get the orbs atop those trickier spires that involved a combo of wall running, climbing, and charged jumps. Basically I ran up the wall until I got near the point where I might risk falling off, then switched to climbing, stopping just short of the point where Alex feels the need to repeatedly swing around the 'corners' of the spire, at which point I charged my jump to max and got the orb. I had to get to about a level 3 upgrade of jump ability to reach it, though.

Umm, Prototype is garbage compared to Infamous. I don't know one person at work or on my friends list who has not been complaining about how bad Prototype is non-stop. I managed to beat the game but yeah, it was very average at best. 6/10 or so. Really bad graphics, terrible controls, the entire city looks exactly the same. The put very little effort into anything in the game at all. Infamous on the other hand, was actually developed properly by a good company.

P.S. I hate my PS3 so I am not a fanboy...never even play the thing

Different Strokes For Different Folks. I've found Prototype to be quite a bit of fun. Sure Infamous might be a bit more polished, but the powers are so much more badass in Prototype, I just have a lot more fun doing stuff in the game.

Both games are fun. It's alot easier to die on inFamous then it is Prototype. The powers are better in Prototype. The story is better in Prototype so far.

However, inFamous had better side missions.

I'm getting to one of my pet peeves... game getting hard and takes away all my powers.

The missions where your powers left you are hard as fuck. I don't know how I got through them.

However, once you do, you'll get a badass new power.

Funny how the early reviews can skew things. Now the metascore is a much more pedestrian

Same here. I'm stuck at absorbing the APC commander and then killing as many military types as possible. I lay waste to everything but it never tells me when I've met my "quota". It's become rather annoying.

which is why no reviews came out of this game until after it was out. The only reviews out seemed to be "bought"

I love how I got halfway through the game, then the game glitches and erases my save file.


I'm done with it now, game was getting repetitive. Not a bad game, but way too repetitive.

I want to try and finish this by the weekend and then out the door it goes.

Their argument that "Prototype isn't spelled all stupid" is incorrect. The name of the game is actually [Prototype]. That said, it may not be a better game than inFamous, but it is a more fun open world.

I wasn't thrilled with this game at first, but I put a few more hours into it and it's growing on me. It's definitely more fun as you unlock more powers. Once you level up your jumps and get the glide move and the in-air redirects, moving around is a lot more enjoyable. I think I was comparing it to Infamous at first, which was hurting my impressions of Prototype. They are actually very different games, and I think Prototype has much more in common with Hulk: Ultimate Destruction than it does with Infamous (which makes sense given the developer). Each is enjoyable in its own ways, but I think Infamous will have more staying power for me. Prototype will be fun while it lasts, though.

nice.

He obvioulsy works for The Department of Redundancy Department.


What I'd really like to know is if the game stays fresh or gets repetitive?

That was meant to be...funny?

My thoughts exactly. The whole thing hinged on the idea that swearing is inherently funny, which it's not. It brought up a few of inFAMOUS's shortcomings, but those have been discussed at length everywhere else on the internet.

Whatever, I still plan on giving Prototype a shot, and it won't change the fact that I found inFAMOUS to be a very enjoyable game.

Pretty much everything Jim Sterling says is meant to be funny and/or inflammatory. He's actually a very funny dude if you listen to him on Podtoid (Destructoid podcast).

I find the funny quotient drops sharply when you introduce the word "ghey."

I got a couple more hours into this and have to say that it really does get to be tons of fun once you get your powers leveled up a little bit. Collecting the landmark orbs reminds me a lot of Crackdown, except it's much easier to climb buildings in Prototype.

I agree, it wasn't funny at all.
