Bad writers
The writers decided to ignore any plot hooks from the first game and just make Mercer bad.
>blacklight!mercer turns out to be best boyx1000
>sequel ruins him for no reason
>entire character arc was blacklight was a better person than mercer ever was
>lol just make him bad
>saves city from big bad bomb
>just to infect it himself
Yeah no. Prototype 2 never happened.
Not gonna lie, I would
Real Mercer =/= Virus Mercer
Man, remember when strtegy guides were a thing? They had all kinds of cool stuff
There was a comic that took place between the two games where Alex traveled the world and people kept betraying or being shitty in general.
Still didn't like the evil turn though
huh, didn't know they had the Virus on them, i always assumed they were just power armored.
Supposedly the straw that breaks the camel's back is a man and his daughter that he's staying with, the man turns out to be an ex-murderer or ex-mafioso or something and Alex kills him (despite no plans at all to do anything but be hospitable to Alex) and the daughter tries killing Alex for his money for no reason.
That comic made his turn even worse.
The virus gave them enough of a healing factor to implant armor plates and minor cybernetics, so, in a way, they are power armored
That comic was One More Day levels of bad
For those who don't know:
OMD was a Spider-man comic wherein he sells his marriage and unborn children to Satan(but not really satan) to save Aunt May from a bullet wound that no magic, healing mutant, comic technology, or actual surgery would fix.
Because editorial wanted Spider-man's marriage over with, but divorce is wrong.
Divorce was more objectionable than a literal deal with the devil
>Divorce was more objectionable than a literal deal with the devil
When was it released?
Sometime around 2007 or 8 if I remember correctly. Over 10 years and I'm still mad
This was right after civil war where somehow Captain America was in the wrong despite Tony Stark literally imprisoning people in another dimension that slowly kills them.
>somehow Captain America was in the wrong despite Tony Stark literally imprisoning people in another dimension that slowly kills them.
Was capeshit always this weird or am I missing something?
No its just Civil War was very dumb with very poor story for a very forced "war" that kept doubling down on the retardation instead of fixing the plot.
Injustice at least had the decency of thinking outside the box even if it has very glaring flaws, there's nothing of similar worth from Civil War.
post more of mercer!
It's not the last time they did it too, my favorite was somehow cyclops was the villain and literally hitler for trying to stop his entire race from being genocided.
Being the anti-hero in an awful set of games
I barely have anything.
help doods, really been wanting to replay this on pc. i tried the resolution fix and limited my cpu cores but the game still crashed as soon as i load a new game
>Scott, what did you do?
>I had your cloud of Kill Mutants Gas turned into something else. Don't worry, I didn't make it harmful to Inhumans.
>WHAT THE FUCK YOU MONSTER
>Was capeshit always this weird
>Doctor Octopus took over Spider-man's body for a very long time and no one noticed despite him not acting the same, not speaking the same, and not dressing the same
>Miles Morales, Spider-man from a universe in which Peter Parker died, transfered over to the 'main' universe because he gave molecule man a hamburger. His origin story is somehow integrated into the main universe despite making no sense there
>Thor's hammer, enchanted by Odin, stopped listening to Odin because the sentient space storm trapped inside said hammer didn't like Odin
>The symbiotes (venom, carnage, etc.) are from a race of glorified green lantern rings called the Klyntar who wanted to bring peace to the universe. Except that's not true anymore and now they're from some God called Knull who totally punches other gods around and controls all symbiotes
Capeshit is just weird
Mutants is just cheating at this point, the writers wanted them to apart from the Avengers so they could be a series on their own while still being in the same universe as them and the best reason they come up for the Avengers not showing up is that the Avengers are ignoring them, like come on man.
the inhumans suck so much
That's what happens when the same material gets thrown around several writers over a long period of time.
Facts:
prototype was a shitty mediocre and repetitive game with only 3 bosses and 0 enemy diversity
But was still fun and the series had so much potential its a shame that prototype is dead now
They had some interesting ideas during development
he realised he was living in a society!
>0 enemy diversity
Copters, tanks, soldier, super soldier, missile-launchers, zombies, hunters
It's not the most diversity, but it's a fair amount
don't forget those tentacle things
Tanks and choppers are boring you can one shot them once you upgrade the blade
Soldiers and zombies die in one hit so they more like obstacles
Missile launchers are only a problem if your are using and helicopter
Super soldiers and hunters are the only actual enemies in the game but you can still kill them in one or two hits with the upgraded blade
Prototype two had more enemy diversity but was still a bit lackluster
Too bad they weren't in freeroam
now do every single boss faggot
I was having this problem too but then one day it just mwgically started working again.
not sure what exactly I did. maybe try to verify game files through steam?
I mean, he did it in the first game too more or less. He was responsible for the outbreak and for Elizabeth Greene's escape.
Mercer the human was responsible for the outbreak
Mercer the virus made a mistake and he took care of his own mess
Granted, it was a big mess, but it was not a malicious mess.
>He was responsible for the outbreak
His strain was too lethal. Everyone at Penn just died without an outbreak.
>and for Elizabeth Greene's escape
Greene could've escaped at any moment. Alex did nothing to free her.
The enemy variety being low would've been fine if the game let you play with your food more. Mercer lacking any form of i-frames on anything while Super Soldiers & Hunters mysteriously didn't flinch 60% of the time that you hit them unless you literally hit them with the strongest shit in the game that 2-shots them sucks a bit of the fun out of it; it becomes more fun to just Hammer Throw, drop elbows, and run around in Armor than to participate in combat, outside of silly stuff like slapping a chopper out of the sky with a stretchy arm/afterburner kick combo. The devs gave Muscle Mass some decent combo tools and then nothing to use them on. I'm not saying to go full DMC, but a couple steps in that direction would've gone a long way.
Also every boss fight sucked except the first which was actually pretty fun and the final boss which was still frustrating until you figured out the optimal way to damage him.
They sorta threw Mercer out the fucking window when he's the villain in P2, also somehow turning against his sister of all people when she was the only person he cared about
The Mercer you play is not the Mercer that spread the virus.
Basically a case where a bit of refinement in the sequel would have done wonders, and then none of that happened.
Yeah no shit
So why state "he" was responsible? He isn't.
>and then none of that happened
Even worse, they actually dumbed shit down. First game gave a fuckton of moves to use, sequel only had weak attack and strong attack for each weapon.
>larping as a soldier in an infected zone
>use guns to kill them
>when running out of bullets pretend I was a super soldier all along
>start fighting them hand to hand
Pretty fucking cool
thank you user very interesting
>Blackwatch soldiers don't seem to care that you're jumping 10 feet in the air and running at Olympic speeds around Central Park because you're covering them and killing Infected
>Don't kill any of them when we're done and just move on to another area before removing the disguise
>If you hold the mode select direction instead of quickly selecting your mode, you get to do the first-time-transformation animation again
>Prototype 2 removed it
Is Prototype 2 the PEAK of losing soul?
I thought the idea of Mercer in prototype 1 being the virus and the real Mercer in the beginning being dead was so interesting.
Guys help me, i don't know why but watching this face of mercer is making me laugh uncontrollably a little.
how can i
Quick, someone say something nice about Heller or else we're all racists for preferring Prototype 1's Merver to him
because it was interesting
I enjoyed 2’s gameplay and controls more but I still have nothing good to stay about Heller.
Uh, he was determined?
rip user
I liked the computer scene
youtube.com
It is a neat idea. Prototype's story wasn't incredible or anything, but I really liked the web of intrigue and the way that was presented.
mine still look like new, from super metroid to metal gear, all in good shape.
say what you want about Prototype 2 but the banter between the scientists and the soldiers is great
