yeah - can't quite work that out myself either - tendril goes flying out, hits helicopter, looks like it might be about to reel it in, then.... doesn't.. :(

I love the fact that at the beginning I was thinking - ooh helicopters, trying to jump up there and hit them would be a bit overambitious, calm down young lad...

Now helicopters are my bitches, I OWN them...
 
Haven't managed to grab one yet, but if yout target the helicopter, hitting it three times with the tendril usually downs it.
 
Just got this yesterday. Played it for about an hour and then had to take a break because my brain had stopped working properly. :D

It's a really good laugh - very intense, so much stuff going off all the time. I like the way that I seem to have progressed through a few objectives by default - I haven't really tried to do anything but kill the fuck out of everything moving and that seems to have been working. And I haven't really got the hang of the controls yet, either. There's still a lot more experimenting to do - good stuff.

A fair bit of collateral damage going on, though. The good citizens of New York are suffering terribly at my hands.

I don't play a lot of computer games these days but what's stood out as quite original for me is that you're so powerful right from the beginning. Normally you need to play for a bit before you can do something like kicking a tank to death. This is a good thing, I think.

Really good game. Enjoying it a lot. Thanks for the recommendation. :)
 
I've never played a game before where it's possible to grab an innocent person off the street, drag them up a building and then chuck them at a helicopter. :D
 
I grew bored of this game quite quickly. Good fun for a quick run around a city smashing people, cars, tanka and things up but I found it lacked depth and the graphics could be better.

we playing the same game ?

what you playing it on ? on pc the graphics are sweet!!
 
PC, I thought the graphics for Left 4 Dead were much better :)

Nvidia 8800 G92, 8GB ram, AMD Phenom II / 3 GHz. I have rolled back from Vista to XP64 so it could be a DX10 problem...?
 
hmm should be ok , ive got an 8800gt and i think it looks great , left for dead does look good and although there are loads of zombies there not in a huge world enviroment like in Prototype so maybe thats why the graphics arent so crisp.

gutted to hear youre not having as much fun as the rest of us tho :(

Too much rocket-spam!

:mad:


Still - overall great fun.

I'm totally stuck on the tank mission, when you have to defend that one tank from loads of hunters. I either get wasted by the helicopters, or the tank gets fucked by the hunters. Mind you, I don't really have any kind of strategy for it - I just kind of get stuck in.... :hmm:
 
I see what you mean about how difficult it is. I've just finished the level in the military base with all the hunters. Took me ages. Good fun though - my guy's got a few nifty moves now. Clashing your fists together and sending a massive shockwave that sends everyone flying is a good 'un.
 
I went to game today and had this in my hand. Bearing in mind that cash is a bit tight at the moment is it worth me spending my hard earned £40 on?
 
seems ok so far. Though it amuses me people can slate a game like Red Faction for its graphics yet like this. Irony indeed.

It's basically a reconstituted Hulk Ultimate Destruction (with bits of Spiderman), which is no bad thing as that was a great game.

Seems quite playable.

Got bored of UFC - career mode is horribly tedious and I'd played it twice anyway. The online is a horrendous mess. Fight Night will blow it out the water even though the game engine is excellent. If i complete Prototype by next week i'll trade it for FN, which is what i was going to do with UFC anyway. So it's all good.
 
yeah, I got it this morning and played a couple of hours. Embarrassingly I'm stuck on pretty much the first mission. I've got to take over the gentek commander to infiltrate the base but I can't do it without all the surrounding soldiers starting to fire at me and either I die, the commander dies or I manage to consume him and then have to leg it.

Anybody got any tips? :o

you should be able to leg it , then hide til the heat goes off then stroll back into the base undetected :)

Yeah I tried that. There was another commander in the base, it was weird.... although I think I could probably get in the door anyway but the only time I got that far those bloody detector things started up.


I'll try it again when I get a chance, I'm sure it isn't anything like as difficult as I'm making out. :)

Good game though. There were actually a couple of "wow, that is fucking brilliant" moments. I think it was the first time I threw a taxi at a helicopter and the first time I ran up a building. :D
 
Seem to have managed it a couple of times, without actually knowing how to do it... - I've just kind of walked up behind people and tried to grab them.
 
you may not have gained that ability yet , but apparently there is a way of creeping up behind ( when already disguised ) and then assimlating your quarry un-noticed....

oh and consume maybe spelt wrong :hmm:

I can already see that that would be extremely useful.
 
hahaha... I just pulled a helicopter out of the sky with my tentacle thing. This is such a fun game.

I do feel sorry for the civilians though. :(
