[quote name='Heavyd814life']Anyone have a slot of Prototype for sale? I've heard it compared to inFAMOUS, so i'd love to give it a try. Could someone who has played it tell me how engaging the story is?[/QUOTE]
I had both, and I'd personally recommend that you not waste your time with Prototype. It starts of being really fun, but as the game wears on, it becomes clear that they simply didn't know how to have the difficulty rise in a fair way. They basically took the lazy way out, and basically mistook 'cheapness' for 'difficulty'. Stuff like giving enemies attacks that send you flying backward, and sending 5-6 of them after you simultaneously, while you have 2-4 tanks and 2-3 helicopters harassing you with bullets and rockets.......while swarms of soldiers are attacking you with assault rifles and rocket launchers. At some points, I'd get hit with one attack, and before I was literally able to move again, they'd chain rockets and knockback attacks to completely drain my health bar. I'm usually a very calm and patient person, but this game literally made me pretty angry, and it's still the only game to ever have made me actually angry (not irritated, frustrated, or anything like that. Actual anger). This was all on the easiest setting as well, I should add. It's also really short, maybe 8-9 hours tops.
Well, that was a longer rant than I figured it'd be, but basically avoid Prototype at all costs. I played it before inFamous, and had to literally force myself to start playing inFamous after avoiding it for weeks, purely because of the bad taste Prototype left in my mouth when it came to open world 'superpower' games.
