BRING BACK PROTOTYPE

You know that Edward Norton Hulk movie where he fights Abomination? That's this entire game.

• Technical issues such as crashing at launch—as in, startup and soft-locking during any, but especially early missions are not good signs. Prototype 1 has issues as well. And not just technical, but it has those as well. At least in the PC port. The resolution is locked to 720p and needs to be resolved with an .ini fix. Prototype 2 has the issue I listed up top.
• Both games are exceedingly tedious and lack variety in their mission structure.
• I believe it being open-world actually hurts the pacing of the narrative.
• Furthering that point, the story is intensely mediocre. I ended up skipping cut-scenes due to lack of interest.
• The combat is often needlessly obstinate. The lock-on for weapons or throwing objects will change mid attack or lock on to things that aren't even on the screen but rather where the character is facing. Sometimes it'd do the opposite seemingly for no discernible reason.
• Sometimes consuming enemies took multiple presses of the button. Heller seemed to sometimes be able to consume on the run and other times needed to stop moving. It didn't seem to be based on enemy type either. Consuming is effectively the main mechanic in the world. Both for healing and for objective completions. Seems it would have made sense to get that bit right.
• The side missions are just as boring as the main missions. Lair takedowns, Field ops (which equate to opportunity kills) and finding blackboxes. Just a regular ol' collectible.

To be clear, there are a lot of good ideas here.

The stealth often makes no sense.
