This is my response to fan boy Jim Sterling's review of Prototype and inFamous. His blog can be located here. http://www.destructoid.com/how-prototype-is-blatantly-better-than-infamous-135979.phtml
1. Alex Mercer isn't a pussy:
Wow, adding a human element to Cole was a bad Idea I suppose. I will give credit though, Alex is a bad ass. Granted tanks just didn't fit into the story telling of inFAMOUS which has a much better story line and gives the player the chance to understand the conflicts Cole faces, and seem more apathetic to the players choices.
2. Chain link fences:
Yes, cause thank God for realism to keep the story flowing a little bit, granted the great part about story telling is you can bend reality, it often hurts stories when you shatter that completely. Electricity takes the path of least resistance. Hense, fences stop it, that's why they also have the energy balls that explode, hitting targets on the other side.
3. Upgrades:
Hands down Prototype has the better upgrades.
4. Prototype isn't spelled all stupid:
inFAMOUS uses the title like that to differentiate the ability to be good (Famous) or evil (infamous). Even a Elementary kid knows that. and read the titles, [PROTOTYPE] in all caps dumb ass. Who the fuck does that? oh right a 14-year-old girl "yelling" cause her "boyfriend" just entered some chat room.
Seriously though, XBox? why not X-Box or ex-Box or Executive box? And Sony has the hard times with a name...
P.S. Stupider isn't a word dumb fuck.
5. Enemy variety:
Where as I agree Prototype has the better variety, are you serious? 3 soldier types, 3 vehicles, 1 "robot" and 2-3 mutants... some real big variety.
6. The Prototype comic book has an awesome rapetrap story in it:
Wow, all I have to point at is the ESRB of T vs M. if that makes a game or story for you, you are a seriously disturbed and fucked individual.
7. Running up buildings > Climbing like a spastic monkey:
yet again, back to the realism thing. Granted it is bad ass to run straight up walls, Cole could climb buildings before he got his powers. lets see you do that fat ass.
8. Water:
Wow, think game play. What fun is it if you can bitch out and hide underwater for a few seconds. who's the fucking pussy now. yes, this is a statement not a question.
9. The head of developer Sucker Punch is racist:
Move out of your moms basement and buy yourself a treadmill.
10. Final Fantasy XIII is coming to the Xbox 360:
And finally, look at "sells" for both games seeing as XIII has nothing to do with this review, I'll leave it out.
11. (my own think tank here.)
In my opinion Prototype has better game mechanics, but a shitty story line and half ass excuses for why they wanted to throw in a feature. Prototype is to 360 what Vista is to Windows.
inFAMOUS with it's only slightly less game mechanics (still good) has much better story line, and best of all better graphics then Prototype on either system. in short, both games are a must have, but realize Prototype is nothing but a sandbox version of dynasty warriors.

Didn't you read Monodi's blog?
You don't get jokes do you?
gay
Christ. I guess people's brains sometimes get crushed under the weight of their fanboyism.
BUAHAHAHAHAAA!!!
Yep I get jokes, however it was very poorly written, and on a site riddled with 360 enthusiasts, I couldn't help myself. as for my "fanboyism" Like I said, both games are a must have. If i was to review the 360, I'd start by sayings "Hey look our Mii's have necks."
metajoke?
shut up ted
Is your title a joke?
Why inFAMOUS is better than [Prototype]
Also, this blog is horrible. Try harder.
have you ever heard of sarcasm?
And you think your blog is written better? Jim's article was clever and funny while this just fails to be funny and makes you look like a dick.
Your arguments are weak, when you don't have a way to rebut Jim's points you just throw in a fat joke or two which are "so funny" and the points you do make are weak at best.
You failed at making a legitimate argument, you failed at making a funny/satirical blog. You just fucking failed.
Even your sidebar is full of fail for god's sake. Like what the fuck are you doing?
"I am a Sony fan boy, hands down."
Nice 360 Gamertag right under that.
FAIL GTFO
Mecha Monkey wins!
I love how you talk about how realism matters when talking about two superhero games.
And get the fuck out if you don't like that article. Seriously, you shouldn't comment or blog on Dtoid if you don't like these articles he does, especially when you fall for it and get drawn in by the bait Sterling has set up for fan boys like you so you can freak out like you just have. Retard.
Why is Jim this guy's only friend?
Did you not realize that Jim's article was a joke?
Also... "XBox? why not X-Box or ex-Box or Executive box?"
It's called the XBox because it runs Direct X and was going to be called the Direct X Box, but was shortened because that just sounds stupid.
"2. Chain link fences:

A story's integrity can be maintained just fine so long as its verisimilitude is maintained. It need not adhere to strict realism.
GTFO
Fun > realism. Also, your Mom is gay.
hands down, ur gay. hands down.
oh right a 14-year-old girl "yelling" cause her "boyfriend" just entered some chat room.
do you want to talk about it?
I don't see how you can call Jim a Xbox fanboy here when Prototype is on the PS3 as well.
Keep on truckin', dude.
Little disappointed with the number of people who ACTUALLY cannot comprehend the sarcasm and intentional hilarity that Jim put into his post...
Obviously he likes Prototype more, but the post is for kicks... Fanboyism not present.
FORTY WORDS!!
I counted your words like you asked in your sideblog.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAAA, Your a stupid asshole, now leave.
they both look fucking stupid to me. i would have taken an hd sly cooper over both these shitty games any day.
Looks like Denkai read the article on N4G and decided to stumble over and make an account, just to post this worthless blog.
"Prototype is to 360 what Vista is to Windows."
Vista IS Windows you fucking turd! But if i take what you wrote to mean 'what Vista is to PCs' then id say that would be pretty freakin awesome as Vista works really well now since the service pack.
I cant believe you READ points 9 and 10 and STILL didnt get that he was taking the piss.
One more thing, WHY be a fanboy? its so stupid. They are a company, they honestly dont give a shit about you after you give them your money. Both the 360 and the PS3 are fantastic consoles so stop all this childish bullshit.
You do realize Jim's article was not serious? It was very clearly a joke, like all of his "______ is blatantly better than _____ articles."
It's called sarcasm. Generally children can begin understanding sarcasm at 7 years old.
Also, nothing can ever be better THEN something. It's better THAN.
This is truly just sad and pathetic.
Son, we live in a world that has video game consoles and those video game consoles need to be guarded by men with controllers. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Denkai? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for inFAMOUS and curse the XBOX 360; you have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that the release of [PROTOTYPE], while tragic, probably saved lives and that my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like fanboy, sucks, PS3. We use then as the backbone of a life trying to defend something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you," and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest that you pick up a controller and play a game. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to.
11/10. Blog of the year.
oh bother
FUCK I always miss this kind of shit.
