Progress! That’s two down, several hundred to go!
PROTOTYPE 2 — and PROTOTYPE before it — was a hoot. I highly recommend the game to anyone who enjoys open world over the top action. Radical Entertainment (sadly now a pale shadow of its former self and no longer developing games) does an excellent job in the later stages of both games of making you feel powerful. Uppercutting helicopters powerful.
The only question now is… what next?
I was a big fan of the first PROTOTYPE and, while this one seems a little easier, I’m still thoroughly enjoying its sequel. I made it to the third area yesterday, the “Red Zone” a.k.a. Manhattan, and then decided that having the whole map finally available to me I would sit down, collect every collectable, and unlock every unlockable. Now that’s done and the game will likely be finished within the next day or two.
Well, it’s Monday again, my playthrough of Prototype 2 has begun, although I haven’t made much progress yet. My weekend was occupied mostly with seeing friends, and what time I had aside from that ended up with me fiddling around with a Ubuntu/Win7 dual boot on my PC which flubbed its GRUB install and rendered my system briefly unable to boot. 😛
Why does someone with a bajillion games to play want to install Linux? I have no idea. Seemed like fun. Working well so far though, now that I have a non-borked bootloader. I haven’t tried to get my games running yet though, that will certainly be an adventure if I decide to go for it.
Prototype 2 is good. I liked the first one, and this one is delivering so far on the promise of “more of the first one, but prettier.” I’ll try to post an update on my progress before the end of the week.
Also, because I just can’t stop myself, there are three more games in my Steam library. This time it’s the Exceed series of SHUMPs. They’re not long games though, so hopefully they won’t add appreciably to the already terrifying distance to my ultimate goal.
Just wrapped up the single player campaign in Sniper Elite V2. Nowhere near “complete”, as there are a great deal of unfound nazi gold bars and unbroken bottles. Nevertheless, it is done and I can move on!
Any suggestions for my next game? I’m thinking Prototype 2 as it’s new and I enjoyed the first quite a bit.
Yes, I have decided that finishing a game is worth an unscheduled update.
(I will likely continue to mess around with SEV2, especially considering I now have someone to play multiplayer with! :D)
Naturally because I can’t resist nice things I have a new game to add to my list. My preorder of Prototype 2 unlocked today! I enjoyed the first quite a bit, and am looking forward to this one as well. Going to stick to my current progress and finish Sniper Elite V2 before I start anything new though.
