I'm American so I'm definitely used to the taste of Hershey's, but I seriously would not call it vomit flavored. If anything it just taste like...I dunno, cheap fast food chocolate? It's like the difference between cup ramen and an actual bowl of real ramen.

It's not terribly good chocolate either way.

Last month, I played Infamous: Second Son and its DLC, first light. Liked the first, loved the second. I was still in a superhero mood, so on the repeated recommendation of one person in the thread, I downloaded Prototype and started it today.

I lasted about twenty minutes. I'm pretty sure I hate it.

It's got nothing to do with it as a game, it seems fine in that regard, maybe even good. It's just the setting is basically everything that annoys me. Needlessly grimdark tone, edgy protagonist, amnesia as a plot device, and goop. Lots of goop. It's entirely a personal taste thing, but straight up, I do not want to be a goop monster. I don't like goop powers, I never have.

I did appreciate that the game more or less openly tells you right away that you are a horrible murder monster and that you will be killing folks, it's nice to get that out of the way pretty quick. But I just don't think this game is for me. That's not a knock on the game, I've got some weird tastes that are very particular sometimes.

This, however, is very much a knock on the game; it's ugly as sin. I know it's a 360/PS3 game, but there are plenty of games from that era that aged just fine in the art department. This is not one of them.

Prototype is mediocre at best, trash at worst, but the plot twist at the end is amazing. You're not playing as the lovely human being, you're playing as the virus who ate him and he was so lovely he infected you with his shittiness

This is what I was about to say.

You may call it "bad" but that's basically acquired tastes in a nutshell. Americans largely are used to it, so we like it and other people don't.

Yeah, Hershey chocolate is a weirdly nostalgic flavor and something that a lot of Americans grew up with. I personally think it's fine, but I've also had plenty of non-Hershey chocolate, European chocolate, etc. and that rules, too. I did start noticing the Hershey aftertaste once I learned about it, but then again, parmesan cheese smells almost exactly like human vomit so hey, sometimes whether something is tasty depends entirely on context :v:

Maybe I was doing something wrong but synethik:

Felt very bulky and tedious. Needing to eject then reload might add challenge to a faster paced/harder game but since it's so easy it just feels like busywork.

It's very easy. The closest I came to dying was when I didn't realize alt tabbing didn't pause.

Looks ugly as hell

The aim penalty while moving makes every gun feel like poo poo.

I might give it another try but for a game people apparently like it was really unimpressive.

Prototype owns

also that "Alex" is a way better person than actual Alex, having some vague sympathies to other people and caring about his sister and stuff instead of just being willing to kill everyone out of spite.

It was lame he turned into a generic villain in p2 but oh well.



Prototype 2 is better in every single way, though itdoes lack some of the fun powers like Patsy.

i never played that many games from the period due to not having either console but i was constantly surprised by how pretty sonic unleashed is, especially compared to 06

I already beat it with Yunica! This is my second playthrough to see what Hugo's deal is

actually I was wondering, does anything happen if you beat Kishgal in that first fight with Yunica
Oh that's a good point I forgot to think about, I can't remember if this ever got changed but I seemed to remember that there was a weird difference where the PC version let you play the third character (who is a lot of fun) immediately after finishing one playthrough but on console you had to do both Yunica and Hugo.

this is true and a bummer. a lot of night levels have rad music that gets dunked by the battle intro, it's like that meme of the small grumpy bird getting interrupted by the bigger obnoxious bird which i would try to reference more elegantly if i weren't on my phone

The Werehog Battle theme cuts both ways. Like the rest of the song is actually good, but you're never going to hear it because the fights aren't long enough.

Most international candy is just as bad. Try Salmiakki if you want to see what so called more civilized countries consider candy

i used to like some american candy and sweets as a kid, but returning over a decade later (from europe), it's often not even a guilty pleasure anymore. i don't think it's just me, i think how stuff is made has changed. they taste different than i remember. kit kats, coke and donut holes in particular.

And if you think America makes boring candy, visit the UK where you can choose from thousands of different sweets!!!!*

So Tales of Maj'Eyal has various seasonal/holiday events and it's May 4th somewhere so I found this guy while dungeon crawling.




The problem: this particular map is an arena where the outer ring is inaccessible and filled with neutral spectators. The player can't get over there. The wall blocks any move that would dig through it, teleport past it, or any move that could attack through or over it. So there's a stormtrooper just going around killing all of the people at this arena and I can't stop him and we can't even attack each other.

I'm sure there'll be others who'll spawn in reachable locations later but this was the first time I found a stormtrooper in this game so it was just an odd surprise.
