Playing Metro 2033. Pretty crazy and scary. Cool stealth elements, like using throwing knives as silent weapons, and watching out for where you step so you don't set off tripwires, crunch broken glass, etc.

Then there's the currency system. High-power military grade ammo is basically what you use to pay for stuff. You can shoot it at enemies for extreme damage, but you're shooting away your wallet.

There is also no HUD. At all. It adds to the fear factor by alot.

Plasma wrote:C&C4 is, more or less, trying to capitalise on DoW2's very different way of doing RTSes... but fails horribly. Because it completely glosses over what makes the DoW2 system work, and tries to incorporate old-style mass armies into it. The entire point of the way DoW2 works is that there's a much greater focus on individual units, and getting into strategic positions, and a lot less simple attack-this-target play that regular RTSes have.

That, and the fact that the DoW2 system was NOT suited for having army construction in its singleplayer mode. Long story short: it's meant for evenly balanced teams, with smart commanders, and not regular "They have a giant army, but they'll only attack lightly" play. Hence why DoW2's campaign simply didn't have buildings, and unit leaders can just be revived GearsOfWar style.

Thats what I don't like. I like bae buildings and huge armies rather than "one base, tactical use of small squads" style gameplay. Its why I liked DoW better than DoWII. C&C4 seemed to try and mash them together.

I

I might do a Let's Play of Prototype.

(this game)

Anyone who's played it want to tell me if it'd pan out good for an LP? Or would it not be very good? I don't really know.

The story doesn't really make any sense and the ending is kind of dumb but the gameplay itself would probably be fun for an LP if you just did goofy shit.

I pretty much stole from army bases whenever I could. Slowly picking off soldiers one by one and devouring them so you can pose as one of them is the best thing ever.

This. As long as it isn't 100% story driven, it sounds like a good idea to me.

Oh well I wouldn't really know what to do, it's like GTA4. The side missions aren't actually missions, it's just do-this-fast. It's entertaining for the player, not so much for the guy sat next to him

I'unno, Tuxedo Mask enjoyed watching me horribly slaughter people with my various monsterous appendages.

Or perhaps he was just humouring me so I wouldn't devour his entrails as well.
