Funny you mention the “Prototype Guy vs Infamous Guy” thing, because when my mom was getting me a PS3 for Christmas, she said 2 of the workers were trying to sell her on one or the other as the game to get for me 😂 She ended up going with Prototype, and honestly it was the right choice for me. I got Infamous later on, and while I do love that game, the freedom of movement and the story was way cooler to me. I wish Prototype 2 had continued with some of the plot threads of the first game with the whole military conspiracy thing, as that was one of my favorite parts of the first game.

Only issues i have with it are that the boss battles aren’t the greatest and the story leaves a lot to be desired. Also this game can be so hard at times, sometimes unfairly but usually it’s a great challenge. It requires a lot of concentration and you can get your ass beat super easily for this being a power fantasy type of game.

While I agree with the general sentiment of your statement, there are some games that don't age that well over the years, which is in contrast to movies, books, or films. There are some games IMO that aren't as great as they used to be due to their age, like GTA 3 or the original Super Mario Bros. Like, if these two games released as indie titles with different names in the exact same state today, no one would care about them and these games wouldn't get much critical-acclaim whatsoever. But back in the early 2000s and 1980s, these games were mind-blowing, revolutionary masterpieces. Not so much the case today. However, I feel like all good games from the 2010s and onwords will truly be timeless as I don't think the gameplay of modern games will age so poorly that they'll be regarded as bad in the future.

One of the other things I liked about this game was the stealth. It wasn't all over but for some places you could be completely stealthy and not fight at all. If suspicions were on you you could draw their attention to someone else and get them eliminated instead which I thought was hilarious. I can't remember when I got these games but I did play the Infamous games and Prototype and loved them both. I wish we had more games like those now where you have abilities to cause massive destruction.

i don't fall in love with games instantly, but i did with Prototype, as well as Batman Arkham and AC Origins to name a few. i remember my brother watching a review of the game and i came down from my room for whatever. he called me over and said i'm gonna love this one. and i did, as soon as i saw few seconds of it. wanted it instantly. still replay it to this day whenever mood hits. tried the sequel, hated it instantly. Alex is my man. a villain? have you truly played the game or are you basing that because of the sequel where they turned him into a villain just because? Alex is an anti-hero. nothing he does is evil for the sake of being evil. his goal isn't to inflict pain because he wants to or likes it, all he wants is to find out what happened to him and to make whoever's responsible pay. sure he kills people to regain health, but that's the only way to regen and it's not his fault he was made to regen this way. plus the game wouldn't be nearly as fun if instead you cooked and ate and drank and were mindful of civilians, so there had to be a compromise between realism and gameplay mechanic. you keep saying you didn't get the story which is probably why you think Alex is a villain, but the story can't be any simpler if you paid attention and bothered playing the game as you're supposed to, meaning collecting memories because A) that's what Alex wants you to do since he doesn't have any and B) because you should want to, since you are playing a story-driven game. no, the game doesn't take away your powers, be mindful of phrasing. the beginning is near the end of the game, when Alex is talking to... not gonna spoil it, but the game takes us back to when Alex died so he can, on that roof, retell the full story of what happened. we never lose the powers he unlocks playing the game from start to finish, that start being like a prequel, a snippet, a trailer of what to expect, a hook to draw us in, as if the game needed anything to draw anyone who started the game in. if we started playing with all powers unlocked it would've been a shallow game lacking story and discovery. you don't start watching a movie from midway through and continue till the end, skipping the beginning, but you do watch a trailer and that's what the beginning of Prototype is, a trailer for what's to come and what's gonna eventually happen playing the game in its entirety. as for Infamous i had and still have zero want to play it. the powers, protagonist, story and world don't do anything to me as Prototype still does. there's just no comparison between the two, none whatsoever. whoever likes Infamous you can have it and i'll have my bad boy Alex instead.

For some reason, the bad assery of it stayed in my mind forever, and i truly played the games for the first time last week. And oh my God, i deprived myself far too long. The games have this undeniable "2000s trying too hard to be cool" vibe, but somehow still felt right. I loved most of the time I spent with them. They do have some glaring issues in both gameplay and plot, but i didnt mind too much. Its a unique experience to have nostalgia for a game you never fully experienced, and then get to play it foelr the first time while also having nostalgia goggles for it.
