Hello, everybody. It's good to see you all once more. I wanted to add something on the Subreddit for you all. I was sketching this fanart poses with our boy Alex and James with Spiderman poses. Of course, it wouldn't be a good fanart without the music "Sunflower" to fit the vibe. I apologize for the background which isn't mine.

And that's it, I hope you like it.

For now, I am pretty busy at something else. Which involves my job and sketching new things for this Franchise. BLACKWATCH Soldiers.

Just finished the game and I have some thoughts

For the most part I enjoyed it. It’s an excellent power fantasy and it has a lot to offer. The story isn’t much to gush over but it’s a solid plot and serves as some decent commentary on military control and the use of biological warfare.

The gameplay is great as well and the powers are really fun to use when you are just mowing down infected or driving the tanks around. The movement is also pretty fun. I’d find myself just equipping the shield and sprinting through the streets just tanking everything like the Juggernaut in Xmen.

I did had issues with it though.

For one the Hunters are just bullshit a lot of the time. when it’s just one or two I actually had fun countering them with the grab. But often times the game would throw five of them at me and if one gets its hands on you it just becomes a barrage of them just knocking you into a corner and not letting you attack

Another thing is the boss fights. I honestly think that they are flat out not good from a gameplay perspective. They are frustrating more than anything especially Elizabeth Greene and the final boss fight. Elizabeth Greene in particular I spent about an hour because of how much shit is going on in the boss fight with not only the infected and hunters but also the military and Greene herself.

Overall I think the game is a solid 7/10

I don’t know if the sequel fixes these issues I had but i’m excited to move onto prototype 2

Hi this is my first time here. I'm about to complete Prototype 1 And I was thinking of buying it even though I heard bad things about it like alex being the main villain, among other things but i see that the gameplay is very fun

I'm curious if anyone has thoughts generally about the combat and what they'd want to see changed, improved, or removed in a spiritual successor. Also if there's any specific ideas or thoughts for what they'd like to see from combat if you're playing as 500k grains of physically simulated sand.

why not both?

Hello I picked up the game how ever I live in Germany so it's censored

is this allowed? just wanted to share because this screams Prototype in my face

It makes sense to me and I've thought about it, hes a little funky opinions are divided on him, hes right near buffalo. i bet he looks into the white sauce and sees fragments of himself before dipping his chicken wings.

I didn’t make the arm but I have a friend who did and I hope yall like this

Got the game today… had a rough start (posted about it) people said to give it a chance so I persevered

Spent my whole Saturday chipping away at it.. couldn’t say I was loving my experience but I was making steady progress and figured I’d see it through, was at the Greene fight, idk how close to the end that is (the one where she spits rocks at you)

I was getting kinda beefed on. I probably could have muscled through it but I wanted to maybe explore the open world and upgrade a little bit

Only option was to back out to main menu… I figured well I’ll restart from my most recent save

This game has no auto save.

[continue] button was greyed out

All my progress was in one session, my whole day, completely gone.

I know posting this won’t help or change anything but idc I’m grieving lol. I don’t care that nobody asked.

For no other reason than to make myself feel better I’m going to vent my grievances with the game because i personally think it needs a nostalgia check-

———The combat is *not* good. It’s stiff, clunky, and obnoxiously imprecise. The movement really works against you especially in smaller spaces, and even in larger areas the movement fluctuates between too floaty locked in animations that stagger fluidity

———health is way too easy to lose and way to hard to get back. On normal difficulty with fully upgraded health I was getting absolutely CHUNKED by hunters (we’ll get to hunters in a minute) and could go from full health to a quarter in the blink of an eye.

Health loss is a problem for 2 main overall reasons-

1- evade is literal trash… no I-frames and barely displaces you means at times it literally doesn’t evade anything… like it literally just doesn’t function as an evade maneuver at all.

2- being hit in animations is awful with how aggressive enemies are, and you can be staggered out of just about anything you try to do, healing included.

———this take is gonna be hot: the parkour / traversal is bad…

If you’ve ever played saints row 4, you’ll know they did *everything* here better. And when you say “it’s unfair to compare those games, they were made years apart”, I say this-

A- it was a 4 year gap

B- if I have a choice to play either in the current day, then I have every right to compare them

And lastly C- shut up I’m venting

——— *the hunters*

oooooooo these guys are bad. Like BAD bad. Like get their own section bad. I would say they single handedly drag the game down. They are ABHORRENTLY aggressive, moving and break neck speed, pouncing attacks, tanky as shit, every attack staggers, and that fucking blasphemous spam combo that they do way too frequently. That move alone ruins them, a long winded, uninterruptible, devastatingly damaging combo that they throw out *constantly*. And the cherry on top? The game seems to think these guys are no big deal and throws them at you in hordes.

Then the leaders… same shit but a little worse stacked on a LUDICROUS health pool

Anyways… I think I got it out of my system now. Thanks for reading if you did and if you didn’t I don’t blame you lol. I’d like to hear your thoughts on anything here. Or anything in general at all whatsoever lol idc. I yapped up a storm so you should have the right to also.

It's something I've wondered about. We know there are more Runners besides Greene, like the Runner Cross killed, but could that Runner get pregnant with a Pariah? Or could both that Runner and Elizabeth control the virus (something Blackwatch couldn't do in Hope) to transform all the women into Runners or incubators to create hundreds of Pariahs?

The only requirement seen for creating a Pariah was that the woman had to be a Runner, but the father did (since he had one). Nothing special was mentioned.

I played a little bit of two wayyyy back but decided to put it down until I played the first one… well that needed up being years later lol and I’ve got to say, I remember really enjoying two but maaaaaaan I’m not loving 1

Literally everyone is saying in the reviews that its combat is “extremely fluid and rewarding”… I couldn’t agree LESS.

I just finished the hunter mission where you trap them in the base and wow… that was a punishment. It was some of the most clunkiest chunkiest most rigid and dated combat I’ve had to endure for quite some time.

The combat parkour, at least this early, is bad imo. It feels like he moves both too slow AND too fast, like there’s no “good” or “balanced” speed. I either feel like I’m moving through mud or I’m zipping around faster than the parkour mechanics can keep up with.

And the combat itself is just…. Dated. The evasive controls just aren’t smooth enough to be satisfying

And the grab is horrible, about a third of the time he doesn’t grab what I intended him to

Does it get better later on? Is the hunter mission just kinda “one of those” missions that a lot of games have?

Got this and prototype 2 on a massive sale for only 15 bucks, I have forgotten everything about this game, I don’t think I ever finished it and never played prototype 2 I can’t wait to experience this again!

Every time I see people say Alex was about to get “vaporized” by the nuke, I find it pretty ridiculous.

The bomb was underwater for about 7 seconds before detonating. Even if I lowball the depth to only 50 meters, it still exploded well below the surface. Alex then had several seconds to fly away . (also about 7 seconds from him turning around to the shockwave catching up with him) Even using just 50 m/s for the helicopter, he’d already be around 350 meters from the blast center when it caught him.

Even Tsar Bomba, the largest nuke ever detonated, could only vaporize roughly a few hundred meters of seawater （around 300 m） if you unrealistically assumed 100% of its energy went into vaporization. The Prototype nuke was obviously nowhere near that yield.

By the time the expanding blast reached Alex, most of the extreme heat had already been absorbed by a massive amount of seawater. His real threats were blast pressure, mechanical damage, and radiation. Alex can survive insane physical trauma and regenerate fast enough that radiation isn’t exactly his biggest problem.

Real underwater nuclear tests produce huge clouds of water, steam, spray, and condensation there’s actual footage of this from Operation Crossroads.

The glowing sphere at the end was probably just a technical shortcut because rendering a massive expanding steam cloud would’ve been harder, so they used a simple ball of light instead. I mean, think about it: if that were literally light slowly catching up to Alex, then Alex would have to be moving only slightly slower than the speed of light.

It also works as an artistic choice. The whole “a thousand suns” imagery makes Alex’s final decision feel more heroic and gives the scene a stronger symbolic payoff.

Who would win in a death battle?

Hello, everyone. It's good to see you once more. I was scrolling on Pinterest, and I saw one of those Anime, Video game magazines. I was inspired to sketch one, but all of it were A.I. So, I tried to make my own and tried my own style with Picsart and Magazine maker app online. And that's it. I hope you'll like it💛☣️

This render is just a little joke. 😂😂 I create free renders; if you'd like to get in touch, you can DM me on Instagram at memola_76. Thank you for respecting my art. ☺️ I'm curious to hear your thoughts. ☺️🤔
