      I mean they could in a way... add some co-op or multi-player, more skins and effects, unlockable character customization, maybe vehicles and stuff... expansions to the original map and all. They could do a Division out of this, only...you know, good.
      Still, a complete single player game is a complete single player game.

      He's such a fun outlier game protag. In 1 you play a handsome white dude with amnesia but in two you play a man with a batshit crazy vengeance stiffy. Look up "Heller using a computer" if you want to laugh your ass off.
      It's like if the punisher had zero self control, finesse or class.

    2 wasn't a bad game but i still prefer prototype and Mercer as mc, it's either who you can tolerate more a brooding type or edgy Terry Crews .
    If my memories right the 1st world was bigger than 2 therefore traveling is have more purpose ?( since you moves pretty fast)
    I just not sure changing your previous mc to main villian is a good idea.

    • @OtepRalloma
      @OtepRalloma 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      It can work if it's a temporary conflict or if the MC was mind controlled, possessed, or similar (see diablo essentially). When the same character who you played and saved the city with decides to destroy it, it seems really off :/

    James Heller reminds me so much of Kratos from God of War. Both of them had a family once, gained incredible powers from a notoriously unstoppable being, they both wage a war on the superior beings, won, and they both killed their makers. Not to mention, I think they’re both bald; unless Heller has a buz-cut. XD

  • @potatopolitics420
    @potatopolitics420 ปีที่แล้ว

    Having come back to play both of these games, id like to give some quick opinion.
    The first one had a good story and probably more overpowering fun times, but it conveyed the story bad and threw unfair difficulty at times to defeat you. Alex Mercer is also just a really cool character, especially after learning the twist. In the second one, its just angry man and his kids, but the presented it so well i didn't give a fuck because the cut scenes were more engaging gameplay while streamlined, does feel more fluent, and i honestly dont notice the lack of powers. The only thing i really miss is my claws spiking from the ground, and ramming people with the shield(but you can ram with basically anything you pick up)
    The second has better missions overall, both with making pretty much all of them feel important and have fun stuff to do in them. Instead of the first one where you did okay side stuff to get your fun powers. Now it's just having fun while getting the fun. I might also be bias cuz i grew up with this game and everytime i get the hype background theme, i always get flashbacks of nostalgia.
    I also have a big appreciation for how the second made you feel like you were actually evolving, with the added hunting making you feel like a predator, and your power and weapon upgrades only come from living things. I just have overall more fun in the second.
    (But i need more parkour moves)
