Play the second Prototype. It is a much better game and allows the player to live out the power fantasy instead of trying to actively hamper your fun.

This is extreme hyperbole and I genuinely believe Prototype 2 to be a huge step backwards in both movement and combat mechanics, and Alex Mercer is a much better protagonist than Heller

Yeah. I'm not a big GOW fan but it looks like such a big departure from the series in a good way that I'm pretty excited for it. The slower more tactical combat, added focus on exploration and Naughty Dog style presentation looks like extremely my poo poo.

same. i am probably gonna wait for sale though. i spent my game money this month on yakuza 6 and its my last month of classes so i won't have much time anyway. i may pick it up in may or maybe christmas though.

i liked mercer better then heller but the game play in 2 was so much more fun then 1. i kinda wish someone made another prototype game for this console generation.

Does Ubisoft DLC ever go on sale? Im thinking of getting the Farcry 5 season pass, though wondering if I should wait. Normally I would, but I've been waiting for the WatchDogs 2 DLC to go down in price for months, but it doesn't look like it has...ever.

There's a DLC sale on xbox right now. I don't think Farcry is part of it, but Assassin's Creed is, fwiw.

I remember getting Men of Valor on PC one Christmas. It was so broken it could barely even launch. They had to post us out a patch CD.

I'd like a little from both columns. Back on the PS2 Ar Tonelico II had a bug that hard froze the game if you took too long to beat the final boss. The only way around this was to beat the boss before it did the attack that froze the game. Nowadays they would just deploy a patch to fix that but back then we had to live forever with a broken game.

And by "too long" you mean "by the end of the third defense phase" because there was something like a 70% chance she'd use whatever move NISA forgot to terminate the string for at that point.

We either beat our frustratingly difficult Castlevanias or dumped in 7$ trying to beat Simpsons arcade and WE WERE HAPPY THAT WAY.

Either play your broken video game or go outside and be the clumsy idiot who's bleeding on the sidewalk because you can't stop tripping cuz you played video games instead of riding a bike or something, like a loser!

Found this via reddit:

quote:

$40 Playstation Store digital code for $30 (or $20 for $15) via Swych app [25% off] (self.PS4)
You have to download the Swych app to get this deal, but 25% off seems pretty good to be worth jumping through a couple of hoops. I used Paypal to check out but they also accept Amazon pay and Apple pay (on iOS).

Instructions:

Download the Swych app for iOS or Android.
Click on the PlayStation Store gift card in the gift card directory. (It was front and center for me)
Select the $20 card.
Use promo code AprilGames to save $5.
Check out and receive your digital gift card.

You can actually do this two times per account, so that’s $40 worth of PlayStation credit for $30.

I just verified this works. The code is instantly available in the app but I think it takes a couple of minutes to activate on their end. I was able to redeem both codes within 5 minutes of purchase.

Eh. Seems like a no brainer that they will make a sequel whether or not he was even hinting at it. I'll buy the heck out of it though.

I hope they take the excellent core of Doom 2016 and get a lot more ambitious with it for a sequel.

Doom stripped down to it's core mechanics it's way better than Wolf reboot imo, so I'm not too worried about it. I didn't like TNO as much as everyone else seemed to though. Thought it was almost as boring as TNC. Doom owned it was just too repetitive and needed more environments. Something I hope a sequel would address.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture is a boring movie
Here's your solution: Get the people who did the shooty stuff on Doom and the people who did the story stuff in Wolfenstein together and let them make a game.
