>>81910965>Is Prototype 2 worth playing? The first one was kind of cheesy but it was so much funFrom what I recall, it streamlined the gameplay, removed some rarely used stuff, made things simpler. Which I did not like because one of the things I liked in the original was how much different stuff you could do even if some of it was 99% useless most of the time except for that one situation (like how the infected vision only helped in that one mission where you have to shoot zombies from a chopper on the seaside).
The main problem was not that though, but the fact that they fucked up the story. You know how Prototype 1 builds up this elaborate backstory about that Queen chick, the town Hope, Idaho, and the experiments they did there, PARIAH (whatever that was), Mercer looking for his memories, and so on?
They took a dump on all of that.
Prototype 2 basically has Mercer deciding that humans are assholes, and he is taking over the planet (the reason for that is explained in the prequel comic, and it is pretty lame), infecting people into weaker versions of him. You are one of those people, and you turn on him. Nothing about the backstory hinted in P1 is elaborated on, it is all dumped.
The new main character is an angry nigra who is completely unlikable, a full-on rageaholic moron.
Prototype 2 is so far the only videogame I have ever played that uses the term "skullfuck". From the main character no less.
On that note, both Prototype games seem to be 75% off on steam right now.
