    I would say you could also do this in Saint's Row 2, but when I think about it it isn't quite the same.

    I'm not quite sure how I'm going to tackle Infamous.

    I'm the kind of person that likes to do every mission in a game, but in Infamous it's either

    A) If you do every mission, you will be continually tossing up between good/evil
    B) Some missions are straight-up blocked unless you are already good/evil.

    I'm not sure which one applies here, or both. But I really want to finish the game at least twice, once good, once bad, so hopefully it's not a huge problem.

    That said, can't wait for this game.

    The obvious choice is to ignore roleplaying altogether and min/max your character based on which missions give you the best xp/loot.

    I have no idea how they're going to do it though

    plotwise, I mean

    they'd pretty much wrapped everything up at the end of three

    and sucker punch seems to insist on continuity between its games about cartoon animals without pants

    Oh and they finally explained how the stealth thing is going to work in Prototype

    Basically, you can store one disguise form at any time, and you can switch to it whenever you want

    To get a new one, you just take absorb a different person, but you lose whatever you had saved so be careful

    But who cares about that I just want to kill people with a sword arm

    If implemented correctly this seems like an even more interesting stealth mechanic than Assassin's Creed.

    I know it's not a stealth game, but I'm a little pissed that when you take the form of someone their body disappears. It would be much better for me if you had to properly dispose or hide of the body in an inconspicuous manner in case someone found it and you could be made.

    Well it's because you absorb their body/biomass into you but yeah this sounds pretty awesome

    Everything about this game makes me think I'll never finish the story because of the sheer joy I'll get from beating the hell out of everything in sight
