Only thing I can honestly ask is this, and the answer would sum up everything I need to know:
Prototype
Game » consists of 11 releases. Released Jun 09, 2009
Prototype is an open-world action game from Radical Entertainment. You are Alex Mercer, a human transformed by a deadly virus into a virtually invincible killing machine.
Ask me Prototype questions here - no spoilers
Here's another one about the city...
I think I recall a preview that said there would be near constant combat between the infected and military. Have you noticed any random fights? And how does the city feel? Alive, or bland?

" I know i've asked this, but i saw that you posted this nine hours ago and probably got much further into the game, so how good is the framerate and does it lag??????????????????????? "
I haven't played much more since this morning, I'm going to be playing tonight though.

" Only thing I can honestly ask is this, and the answer would sum up everything I need to know:Compare the destructive capabilities of Prototype to Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction. Does it stand up against it?Also...achievements...pretty kick ass stuff?"
My only real question is do you like Alex as a character? Perhaps one of the biggest complaints I've heard from people about this game is that they think he's a giant douchebag whom they don't think they can get behind playing as for ten hours. I'm just curious if you're sympathizing with his cause and attitude towards the situation.
"I haven't looked at the achievements, but I've only gotten 3 or 4 or so during as many hours of gameplay. I don't really care about achievements. As far as your second question, I'm not sure what you mean by "destructive capabilities"...are you talking about the game or the Hulk himself? "

"@MB said:Just the game in general. I'm curious about just HOW free Alex is to go around and destroy shit. Freedom is a big deal to me in open world games."I haven't looked at the achievements, but I've only gotten 3 or 4 or so during as many hours of gameplay. I don't really care about achievements. As far as your second question, I'm not sure what you mean by "destructive capabilities"...are you talking about the game or the Hulk himself? "Also, I know that the achievements don't matter to YOU, but are they challenging? I like challenging achievements. = D They add an extra layer to the game for me, and especially when it's an open world game."
As far as destroying stuff...the environment isn't that destructible, or maybe I haven't unlocked the right powers to do so yet. Things seem more focused on killing dudes and destroying vehicles than interacting with the environment.
" I really couldn't say anything about the achievements, I haven't even looked at them as I couldn't care less. I'm sure you can find them on the net somewhere.As far as destroying stuff...the environment isn't that destructible, or maybe I haven't unlocked the right powers to do so yet.

Check HERE if you are unsure.
" This sounds to me like Prototype takes a lot from The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate destruction, which comes as no suprise as the guys who made the latter.So far this game sounds interesting, what I want to know is how well the platforming the in this game."
Dead Rising had the original Zombie Genocidist achievement. Since then its become almost mandatory in games of this type.
"@Kraivyne said:Dood, Trail of Corpses. Someone just HAD to one-up Left 4 Dead's Zombie Genocidist, didn't they? ""Just for anyone who has yet to notice, the achievement list is on this page.
Check HERE if you are unsure. "
" @MBYour achievements suggest you haven't played the game.... vague answers aren't helping your case. Maybe I'm wrong. "
I just turned my 360 on and signed in to Live. Give it a few minutes to update and then post back here with your findings, Dr. Holmes.
"@trophyhunter said:You probably should read through entire threads before replying. Or better yet, if you don't have anything to add simply stay out of the discussion altogether. "" you probably should have made this thread a few hours from now so you could actually answer questions "
I hear that Prototype has a New Game Plus option, if that is the case then I can definitely see repeating it if I can carry over all of my upgrades to the next difficulty level. If not, once will probably be enough. I don't see this as a game that I could play over and over again, though. We'll see.
" @Eli: I never played Destroy All Humans and I never even finished GTAIV...I think I'm at 40% still in that game. Hah. Sorry man.I hear that Prototype has a New Game Plus option, if that is the case then I can definitely see repeating it if I can carry over all of my upgrades to the next difficulty level.

Game seems appealing but gonna wait for some reviews to pop up before I bite the bullet. Still have inFAMOUS in my blood and not really looking for a similar clone to that right now.
Can you transform to another being at will? And in the missions that you have done, are there multiple ways of approaching it? Like you can charge into somewhere with your powers a blazin or transform into some dude and sneak into the facility and give 'em a little bit of the surprise butt secks?
If your doing bad at the mission can you go into the options to restart mission.. or do you have to finish it the mission first / run out of time etc..
" Prototype just finished installing. If you have any specific questions about the game, ask here and I will be checking back periodically to answer them.I have the Xbox 360 version...and to answer the "OMG how did you get the game early!?!?!!?!?" questions, I had to kill a bunch of people. Let's hope it was worth it. "
