Yeah but the commercials feature like, starving oppressed refugees or whatever and sad music, but in the game they are the equivalent of whole roasted turkeys in Wolfenstein
It's not like I am not on board with eviscerating old ladies, don't get me wrong

Broke as fuck in the style of the times. Gratitude is all that can return on your generosity.

yeah the commercials are closer to the tone of like prototype 1
prototype 2 is none of that
prototype 2 is 12 hours (if you rush on easy) of that moment in the live action commercial where heller is just screaming his lungs out and punches the ground so hard it ripples
I didn't even know this was happening let alone it released this week
I liked the first game, a lot. Maybe I can pick this up soon.

And you can still consume civilians, I haven't noticed an old lady yet but I will keep a lookout.
As for Heller, the game tells you at the start about his psych profile and he in no way considers himself a hero. He also curses a lot, and I've been trying to decide whether it's appropriate for the character or if it crosses a line towards excessive from time to time.

That's what I've been adjusting to as I progress through the game. The fact that they further hammer in that Gentek and Blackwatch are literally evil also helps. There were just a few moments early on where even then the writers probably could have dropped some of the curses and the dialogue would have still been impactful.
However, I'll reserve judgment until after I beat the game and can reflect on his entire arc, one thing I've noticed is that he really enjoys his powers, which fits with his homicidal tendencies.

it's also worth noting that the thing that makes him this way is his thirst for revenge
major spoilers for endgame
when you find out maya is alive, he's still a raging psychopath, but once he actually rescues her at the very end he's softened a lot
he's not a BAD guy
just a super fucking angry one looking to punish the people who took his life away
basically he's just a really angry guy 24/7 and viewed through that lens a super mad guy swearing a bunch ain't no thang

So I noticed this is now up on Steam for pre-order.
And it comes with Radnet access like the console versions.
Did you do like, everything, or just the story stuff?
Well I rented it so I was on a 3 day timeline. I did all of the Blacknet side missions (I am entirely unable to ignore a little yellow symbol on my minimap. Gotta consume that yellow symbol). I found all of the Lairs and most of the black boxes, they get really tricky to find in Manhattan since there's so much vertical range.
My favourite thing is fully upgrading locomotion, getting the mutations for better high speed and acceleration sprint and running around Manhattan like a formula 1 car.
My favourite part of the game was stealth consuming people, so I loved when Lairs brought a bit of that into play. I just love the idea of a dozen assault rifle toting future soldiers holding off a horde of zombies from behind sandbags, and suddenly they just start disappearing one by one.
Also I absolutely hated the pustules until I got the whipfist and could pop them in one hit from long range. A few times I just got overwhelmed by brawlers.
heller has some stellar lines, his liberal use of 'fuck' puts high schoolers around the nation to shame
my absolute favorite moment, right after the first helicopter mission
i flew it to the highest tower to get the achievement icarus, and hovered right over the top of building. i hopped out and landed right on the spire at the top, but then the helicopter came crashing down onto my head, blew me up and tossed me right off.
i was so surprised, it really made me laugh at the time
another great moment was when i dropped into a field op disguised, waited for my suspicion to go down, and then did the devastator. i killed everyone instantly.

I love getting behind a soldier on a rooftop and using him for a bio-bomb grenade to elimiante a field op below.
Any advice for the radnet grenade launcher challenge (30 kills in 30 seconds)? 10 shots and the military bases I've been to haven't been cutting it.

A group of infected is what I was thinking of but I haven't discovered any new lairs yet so I can't test that out yet. I know using the airbridge gets rid of your weapon. If all else fails I assume the Red Zone has infected on the streets to make things easier.

yep. There are a few real hotspots too. Once you get to the red zone, I doubt you'll have much trouble.

I loved the Red Zone, honestly
I've only been to Manhattan 3 times, but I'd often turn a corner and say "HEY! I've been here!" and then realize it was dripping with viscera and feel kinda gross.

Good game!
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.

but i started new game plus and now i'm trying to do all the shit just because
Pre-ordering on Steam also gets you a giftable copy of Prototype 1.
Yes, it does! Someone on my friend list is going to be really happy sometime soon.

you don't even know me so probably not
(no it isn't)
I loved murdering dudes in Prototype 1 so much that it's one of my favorite games, despite its flaws.
Just murder everyone.
LOUD GREEDY COUGH
this game is super awesome @kochikens
can you give any hints as to what's in that excessive force dlc pack
Good try at buttering me up though ;3
like
i don't give a fuck about bio bomb
i don't!
just let me upgrade my core powers please
And here I was thinking we could be Prototype soulmates.
i prefer to tackle a situation head on
and claws
and tendrils
Also using them like a grenade.
@DE?AD can attest to this game being super duper awesome and fun. Holy damn.
but I just bought a bunch of blu rays
and I don't think i like @kochikens enough to return the rocketeer for this game
but that raises the question of who I WOULD return the rocketeer for

Cool
And my only real problem with lairs is that because of the tight quarters in the smaller rooms it is easy to come across issues while maneuvering.

A lair, mayhap? Can you take weapons into lairs?
