The only real problem I had with targeting was when running around, picking something up, jumping mid air and trying to find the main boss over the rest of the rando's.
I didn't know about pressing up or down, I usually went left or right. And 9/10 of the time it'd grab the right boss, if I was able to turn the camera around and have him on my screen. So it wasn't the biggest deal.
I enjoyed the hell out of the game, put a bit more then 20hrs into it. I'll prolly pick it up again a bit down the road just to wreck havoc.
Back to my Buy a used ass old game I missed out on. Next up: Dark Sector and Marvel Ultimate Alliance!

I really enjoy when the game decides the base is more important than the 3 tanks or 4 choppers or 20 troops.
Overall it works well, but yeah, there's some issues with not picking the vehicles.

The game tends to think bases and hives are the highest priority targets in the universe. But the only way around this is to give them less priority than enemies, in which case they might as well not be auto-targetable at all, since enemies spawn so quickly you'll never have a hive or base without some kind of enemy near it.

Not disagreeing that it picks the bases.
I'm just saying when you actually kill the bases, most of the enemies despawn. (And half the time strike teams bugger off mid way to you since it suppresses strike teams for about ten/fifteen minutes)
They're like minions. You'll lose a shit ton of aggro and then you can clean up. So they kind of are more important.
You guys know you can jump up on top of a building and do the spike devastator for a metric fuckton of damage right. For example, the ground spike devastator on top of a hive in the early consume one shots it.
End game it takes about three of these and maybe a bulletdive. You can just throw things once you are out of devastators.
This is a very handy tip I don't know why I never actually mentioned it before. You are safe from tanks and most rocket mens on top of the base, you only need to worry about helicopters.

End game it takes about three of these and maybe a bulletdive.
Man a single bulletdrop will take off about 1/2 of a bases hp if you do it from a decent height even at the endgame.
So I bought the strategy guide (because I'm a consumer whore), and while the guide itself is fairly basic and nothing major, I was facinated by the artbook supplement thing and some of the character guides.
Now, I don't have a clue if the guide writers wrote them or they were written by the devs, but there's some interestingly little tidbits here and there. There's the obvious ones - Original Alex was a hairs breath from a sociopath - and some less ones. For example, they mention that Dana pretty much owes everyone she knows a lot of money, and is just as manipulative and deceitful as her brother.
They mention that the Blacklight virus has always existed on Earth, and that every time a major evolutionary change has occured on the planet, it could be traced back to some form of Blacklight.
Nothing major, but for a flavor wonk like me, it's cool.
I like that Atrocitus genuinely wants to help save the universe...In the angriest manner possible.

It's okay guys I know. Honest. Thanks tho. :P
I like doing the artillery strike, wall running around a building, disguising on the other side, then redoing it.
Or just stealing their strike teams and repeatedly going up to the skybox and bulletdiving.
I use all the methods depending on mood. Hmmm shall I rocket launcher, tank, helicopter, bulletdive, throw barrels of ammo you conveniently left outside, "make it wet in the killbox" or just be lazy and spike it to death and eat a random dude in between.
Choices choices.
I love it when the artillery guys say "Confirmed. Sending them to God."
the military chatter is the best va in the whole game.
"Going down request Sars! SARRRSS!! ARRGGHHH!!!"
What does sars mean anyway.

Overall minor problems. Camera still handles a thousand times better than most games out there.

Its proof that America is behind all diseases. Damn you yanks. DAMN YOU!!!!!
Anywho, about the bases and hives, maybe it's just me but I always preferred to take them out first before attacking the small-fry. Also, I don't think I ever accidentally locked on to a base. Hive? Sure, but never a military base.
This is probably a really dumb question, and off topic, but when everyone reads these forums how many posts per page do they display because I always see 'See page xx for whatever' but I never see what I want on that page...

Yeah it's impressive when you consider how much there is going on at any given time.
The stuff about Alex's psych profile is in one of the WoI. They're talking about "the target". Gee I wonder who they mean. :P

Bought it. Played it. Finished it on easy. Loved it to bits. Now contemplating spending the reaminder of my holidays finishing it on hard.
Also, does this game kick anyone elses computers arse? E8400, 8800GT, 4gb ram and it still lags majorly about 30% of the time. It's still VERY playable and very much AWESOME fun, perhaps some of the best fun I've had in years, it's just he first game I've had to lower graphics setting to get to run well.

I am halfway through both a hard and an easy runthrough. The basic difference is the damage of a hard runthrough is incredible. one rocket from max health and you are in the red. Three and you are in adrenaline.
You can't make any mistakes, you have to dodge everything. And their health is probably around double, if not more. It's possible, but it's pretty intense. You must kill as efficiently and as fast as possible, switching to the right power for the right job. You probably would need to make sure you farm up every ability as soon as it is available especially movement and survival upgrades. I'd buy adrenaline surge asap. During the part where you need to do six missions in a row because "you know what" happens, you actually do need to buy the basic hand to hand combat powers to survive. If I didn't have shoryuken I wouldn't have been able to protect you know who. I recommend using stealth as much as possible as well. Also ignoring strike teams gets you killed. You really do need to decide wether to run or kill them, soon as they are called. Good luck.

I've got some strategies for green in my sig if you wanna watch it. I use whip, musclemass, hammertoss and blade as well as how to set up the devastators. Take a look before you get there on hard.
Before you get to green you can buy musclemass boost, I recommend watching the musclemass part of the vid, buying it before you get there and using that strategy. It's the easiest.
Also get the air blade drop for the mission before it and use air critical pain in the same way I use the whip in that video (start charging it from a jump + dash through the air at an angle so it charges while travelling)
They don't seem to get any new special attacks, I just beat "The Door in the Wall" on the hard run. That was a very intense fight. O_O

Okay so I've had my shot at playing the game (and there will be more). So much fun though. I don't quite like controlling tanks, and hunters are kinda sort of a bitch. So much in fact that when I do manage to kill them, I usually overdo it so that I can't eat them.

So if you just want to have a nice mess around game without any stress at all, play up to just before the mission "A Door in the Wall" on an Easy game +.
You'll know before you start it because the pause screen tells you the name of the mission you can start.
Tons of zombies, hives to mess around in, strike teams rarely fire homing rockets, everything dies equally easily with every power and you barely take any damage from anything. A full hunter flail counter attack, just standing in it in armor, barely takes off an inch of your health bar.
Nothing else is changed except these health and damage values. It's still hella satisfying to blow up tanks and there's a mix of every armor type on the streets. Apcs, normal tanks, tough tanks, but they only come in ones and very rarely twos.
It's basically cheat mode. You are an unstoppable god, do whatever you like with whatever power with no effort.
Some fun things to do on this mode is the ground spike on an enemy tank. It'll die and go flying waaaaay up into the air, you can switch to whipfist, grab it, then chuck it at whatever. Same with helicopters, charged whipfist kill, then grab its corpse and chuck it at the next helicopter. It's all very smooth and fun. Stick a save there and you've got a very good party game or after work murderthon. Anybody of any skill level could run around in such a customised environment and have guaranteed "holy shit look what I just did" fun.
Enjoy.

What are you using to fight them?
They're pretty annoying until you Blade, then go down easy. Muscle Mass can be used with the drop/flying attacks as well or chucking things. Main thing is to get out of their way when they fail; there's nothing you can do.
Alternatively, if you get exactly four stories up, then switch to Muscle Mass after 3.2 seconds, initiate a Power Bomb for 1.6 seconds, tap the Left shoulder 1, while pulling the left stick towards Mecca and the Right stick towards the nearest Starbucks (not the ones in Barnes & Noble, has a to be a regular one), you can one-shot them.

you can one shot them by spitting at them really
but that was very droll and i deserved it
man much of what i say is very very easy, i just express it in the most complicated way it is possible to say
best rule of thumb is hit them twice then grab (even if you dont have dirtnap it still interrupts them)
repeat until dead. if surrounded, do flying stuff or two hits then diveroll.

Thanks for the tip. I jsut bought this game due to the Amazon deal ($40 for anyone who hasn't seen it), and was considering going through on normal or hard mode.
I am going through hard mode on Force Unleashed right now, because I heard that the New Game + option only lets you do the New Game + on a difficulty that you have already beaten.
On Prototype, if you beat the game once, does the New Game + Option work on any difficulty?

Beat it on normal you can do easy and normal +. Hard you start from scratch since there's the achievement tied to it and you can't unlock it until you finish one run through. (I think both easy and normal do this)
And you really need that run through since you need to game the system.
Late in the game rockets really hurt unless you are able to move around effectively without being stuck on the ground, which takes a bit of practise to be effective at in combat.
If you just want easy smashing fun easy is nothing to be ashamed of.
on the other hand if you can handle the difficulty of Force Unleashed then normal will be a cakewalk.

probably the most important thing to remember before you play is that even thought it is a sandbox game with many options, it's mission design is such that in some very particular missions, only a handful of each can be used in them successfully. you can still use the others but your mission will be a lot more difficult. (there's plenty of free form missions too)
so if you are the type to stick to only one thing through a whole game some of the missions not designed for that thing are going to really piss you off
so maybe try to learn a few different strategies.
also cannonball is awesome try it against every enemy at least once.

That's not a problem for me. I mean, I tend to favor the direct approach to things, but I don't have a problem varying my methods per se.
I think there's enough variety to keep me interested for a good while.
Working on finishing WOI and getting platinum on the events. Some events such as the War events with military disguise really piss me off. You can go around killing stuff as fast as possible and come up 15 seconds short every time because the spawns didn't work out correctly or your military buddies all happened to die. Plus at all times you have a horde of goobers chasing you so if you ever dare to try to fire grenades from the ground, within 2 seconds one of them will run right up to you, eat a grenade, then knock you over.

They're pretty annoying until you Blade, then go down easy. Muscle Mass can be used with the drop/flying attacks as well or chucking things. Main thing is to get out of their way when they fail; there's nothing you can do.
Alternatively, if you get exactly four stories up, then switch to Muscle Mass after 3.2 seconds, initiate a Power Bomb for 1.6 seconds, tap the Left shoulder 1, while pulling the left stick towards Mecca and the Right stick towards the nearest Starbucks (not the ones in Barnes & Noble, has a to be a regular one), you can one-shot them.
but that was very droll and i deserved it
man much of what i say is very very easy, i just express it in the most complicated way it is possible to say
best rule of thumb is hit them twice then grab (even if you dont have dirtnap it still interrupts them)
repeat until dead. if surrounded, do flying stuff or two hits then diveroll.
Well, it is peoplejuice, so that could be pretty effective.
I seem to recall some awesome forum member here putting together a list of the combos in game. Anyone have that handy? I want to be prepared for my mayhem.
I wish I'd waited
yeah
that way i dont have to keep repeating myself with one long unbroken sentence moving from topic to topic it is really quite hypnotic
it'll take a while though I'm fairly lazy :P
Thanks for the tip. I jsut bought this game due to the Amazon deal ($40 for anyone who hasn't seen it), and was considering going through on normal or hard mode.
I am going through hard mode on Force Unleashed right now, because I heard that the New Game + option only lets you do the New Game + on a difficulty that you have already beaten.
On Prototype, if you beat the game once, does the New Game + Option work on any difficulty?
Beat it on normal you can do easy and normal +. Hard you start from scratch since there's the achievement tied to it and you can't unlock it until you finish one run through. (I think both easy and normal do this)
And you really need that run through since you need to game the system.
Late in the game rockets really hurt unless you are able to move around effectively without being stuck on the ground, which takes a bit of practise to be effective at in combat.
If you just want easy smashing fun easy is nothing to be ashamed of.
on the other hand if you can handle the difficulty of Force Unleashed then normal will be a cakewalk.
We can be friends now; I caved too.
This will sort of make up for me paying full price at Gamestop for Red Faction and then coming home and seeing it for $50 on amazon.
I time a hammertoss to connect with a helicopter as it turns around to fire a missile, leaving it on half health. The pilot:
"What the hell was that??"
I still think the WOI is a great idea, though.
so if you are the type to stick to only one thing through a whole game some of the missions not designed for that thing are going to really piss you off
so maybe try to learn a few different strategies.
also cannonball is awesome try it against every enemy at least once.
I think there's enough variety to keep me interested for a good while.
