Board 8 > Platinum #41: Prototype 2 (PS4)

(+) Yeah! (+)

Earlier this year I picked up both Prototype games on PS4 for the slightly too high price of $9.99 for both. I finally got around to playing them both over the last couple months.

The first game was rudimentary and has aged very poorly, but was probably pretty good for its time. I did not bother trying to get the platinum on that because some of the trophies are a ridiculous grind. But I had fun playing it and luckily it's not a very long game.

The second game improved over the first in almost every aspect, except the story which is pretty bad. The protagonist is a completely unlikable angry simpleton and I did not care about anyone or anything that was happening. It was still a fun game though and the platinum was pretty easy to get. It feels like a modern open world game which I appreciated after playing the first one. I also have to give it credit, as a AAA game from years ago the main protagonists are a black guy, a latino, and a woman. However, it is very short. The main mission line takes like 5 hours, if that. If I has paid $60 for it I might have been disappointed.

It has one the dumbest/best scene in video games so I have to share:

I see a lot of people here have played these games and have anything to say about them

I thought it was a ton of fun as a kid. Looking back, that itch probably could've been scratched by a ton of games but it was still enjoyable. Story was whatever, but I hadn't played 1 so Mercer wasn't ruined for me (that fight was fucking impossible for me).

best part was when you had a mission to fly to the height limit then jump out

I can confirm I've never played a Prototype game
