It would have been a great story line for P2 if Alex tried to find a way to turn himself back to human by eliminating his superpowers then later find out his power only grow stronger, then the human race is infected by other virus and he is the only being who can fight the new monsters, so he learn his action itself can define him as a good human again.... and the producer wasted all the design of Alex, and made a shitty story of that black dude
Iedy Iedy what? I thought in the comics he found a secret facility trying to replicate the parasite inside him by left over DNA and were able to create a clone but it went AWOL then reeked havoc on New York that’s when Heller came around to stop it then The real Alex comes in trying to find out who it was that started the outbreak again and found out it was the Clone at the ending he was watching Heller best the shit out of it then consumed it because throughout their battle the Clone didn’t use the same abilities Mercer had in Proto 1
I have watched the intro of Prototype so many times that even after 5-6 years of not having anything to do with the game, I still knew every single word, every single sound. That's love, man.
@@tsayin2662 I was thinking about the visual style lol you know since prototype story isn't something really new or fantastic it will turn into a bland generic movie if it doesn't have skme other great aspects to blance that , hence it needs a really good soundtrack and awesome visuals so I thought how about snyder since he made 300 which was a generuc movie story wise but its visuals made it awesome to watch.
Keep seeing or hearing that "Alex" lost himself during the second game. Listen Alex Mercer died from before the events of prototype 1, the entire time the black Light virus had taken over his body and mutated, the virus itself only had Alex's appearance it wasn't Alex in any way. Also Alex was the one who released the virus in New York and got shot and killed just before he did which was how the virus managed to copy his entire genetic code.
@Dick Faggotson I mean given his back story we kind of see somethings from his pov but releasing the virus was beyond stupid on his part and only further solidified his madness in part 2 when he purposely released it in the hopes of destroying the world
The conspiracy theory (the whole 'Alex lost himself' thing) is kind of exasperating. Though afaik, they covered Mercer's personality switch between 1 and 2 in some little-known comics. Apparently it's because a girlfriend stole his wallet or something, I don't remember the specifics. Just that it was weak and cemented my dislike of 2.
I still wish "the virus" wouldn't have turned into the main antagonist of the second game. I actually loved the character and it was sad seeing him become evil. I wish him and James would have teamed up to fight pariah
Replaying Prototype 2 and watching this, I gotta say this game is much deeper and emotional. All the twists here, the mysteries, how depressing it really is and the fact that we think we're playing as a person looking for revenge until we realize that this person is both a terrorist and dead. Amazing.
Prototype had such a dark story, the scene at the end where Mercer says "When I close my eyes I relive the experiences of a thousand dead men screaming before I take their lives" was chilling. Prototype 2 had a decent story but they changed Alex Mercer's character so much and the main motivation of Heller was revenge for his wife and daughter. Both had incredible gameplay however.
Yes, I was pissed when I played the second and discovered Mercer was the villain. It was not necessary to flip him, uneeded, his look, personality and concept could've created a franchise in itself. He was even an avatar on PS4 and many didn't know who he was thinking it was a stock character or confused him for an Assassins Creed Ezio Aduitore avatar.
Alex Mercer is probably the most powerful video game character I've see . If you can regenerate from a single blood cell after a nuke explosion, you're an overpowered boss.
Asura from asura's wrath is far stronger and sephiroth but not many characters are stronger then mercer also mercer actually was far stronger in the second game he just wasn't near max power in the second game vs heller
the creature from The Thing seems to share similarities. Only it thinks of eat, multiply, rinse and repeat. So is the Necromorphs, only they are on a galactic scale compared to the virus. Unlike the virus, neither of the previous 2 give anyone such mutations leading to an evolved. They only consume. Also compared to The Flood, something I think could possibly assimilate the virus, is on a galactic scale and only consumes. Thinking is what separates the virus from the other mentioned creatures. The others have no thoughts, no feelings, no wants, and no needs. The Floor, The Thing, and the Necromorphs can only consume, and only have one mind, the hive mind. Though the flood seems to be the superior of all listed, what with how the Flood cells assimilate anything and everything even slightly organic. And the bad thing is, the others are organic. The virus is the only one that actually has individuals amongst the infected who can think for themselves. Never be related to The Flood. Plus, I'm a neko so I like alot of people regardless. so. Nya~
Some diamonds cannot be forgotten.Prototype used to be my favorite game when i played it in 2010,it's atmosphere was dark and fluent,easily could enter you to it's world.Although the years passed,and the dissapointment of Prototype 2,every time i play it raises my pulse and temperature and seems even better.The entire concept was believable,unlike the second installment where the soldiers looked like modern ninjas and the infected(except the Juggernauts,which i admit they were magnificent)were similar to epic fantasy creatures(dragons,demons).As for the gameplay,Alex's agility was unique,something absent in Prototype 2(Heller felt ''heavy'' to me).The only disadvantage was the graphics,but that could easily be passed since it's highlights could cover it.I wish they would make another one like the first(with improved graphics of course)but seems a fantasy now that Radical closed.
The Umbrella Corperation Its knawledge, Alright? Well for me its Cool with his hoodie and looks more gangstah and true he got killed by Heller so, its just an Opinion
So what i realised in the beginning "someone released a deadly virus in penn station, i woke up in a morgue. im gonna find out who did this to me, and im gunna make him pay." hes talking about Alex Mercer. Im sorry blacklight virus, you already consumed alex mercer at penn station when he dropped you 😭
+Agarthan Executioner Me too. In fact, Alex, the character we play is indeed a terrorist responsible for millions dead people. In the entire game there was not a single genuine smile, so :-)
Agarthan Executioner "anti villain", I like it :) Also, I made a mistake, sorry. Player is not Alex, player is the virus. Player is the reason for all of this :P
The first game is was very grounded and realistic when it came to the military forces. PROTOTYPE 2 made them comical James Bond villains that are cringe.
That is NOT Alex at the end. It's the virus, taking his form. That's the reason he acted so unlike himself in the sequel. Alex Mercer is dead, virus is not. That's an interesting thing I found out in the youtube comment's section on one video :) Wanted to let anyone who sees this know, because it really is an interesting bit of plot that I didn't get the first time around.
the virus in mercer mutated and changed him completely he then spread "The Mercer Virus" which was parts of him through the streets to infect manhatten but before he was fully taken over he infected james heller so that heller can fight the new mercer consume him and wipe out the entire virus thats why after heller consumes mercer he erupts in tendrills and they pull all the infected into him that wasn't a devastator attack it was him consuming alex mercer meaning 1.)Alex mercer never was at 100% fighting heller probably 10% 2.) Alex is the main hero he used heller to wipe out the entire virus completing his main mission at the end of prototype 1 of defeating the virus
+Your Friendly Neighborhood Toaster You're wrong. Alex was dead from the start. From the very beginning, the Virus was the character being used by the player. That's why he had amnesia and why "his" wife betrays him. She knew the real Alex Mercer died.
Like, there's literally no way to play this game without murdering THOUSANDS of innocent people. Like, Alex is not a good guy. He's not even an okay guy. At best he's wronged man dealing with a horrible situation, but his heel turn is not far fetched. Prototype is a game about destroying New York City, and Prototype 2 is about the aftermath.
For the fandom, Prototype 2 isn’t canon. Zeus already has a family and developed his own humanity and conscience. Why would he turn his back on the values he got during the first game?

Sadly after all this he threw away his old identity, Alex Mercer, and went on to be a living virus that plagued the world. He knew as long as he exists the virus would spread. Driven mad by his situation he became a monster seeking only to force his cruel fate on everyone else. Alex Mercer died, what you see is a creature, even more true when he realises he’s not Alex Mercer anymore. In Prototype 2 that isn’t Alex. The thing you face in 2 is just like the test subject you let loose in this one. She is the virus. Now Alex is the virus.They know nothing of who they were anymore and simply live to infect the world. Since there won’t be a Prototype 3. I would speculate that James Heller would be captured and turned into an enemy in 3. His strain of the virus making another Alex Mercer in a super solider program. There would be conflict over the morals which releases Heller and accidentally spreads the virus. Ending in a perfect cure that kills Heller and all far gone mutated instantly. Prototype is one of my favourite games. Who wouldn’t want to have Alex Mercer’s powers.
Alex was better as a protagonist in the first because it was like he's infected and is one with the virus and is part of the reason the outbreak happened because his colleagues he was working with were being silenced so he got paranoid and took a sample of the virus he was working on and attempted to escape the city because he knew an outbreak was going to happen. and they were going to soon come yo silence and kill Alex next. Even as Alex as the virus from what I read about his past life and traits he shares the same personality as his original human counterpart. He still has Alex somewhere in him within the virus and it shows that throughout the game as he tried to make things right by stopping the spread of the virus because thought it was right. Prototype2 just threw it all away and made the character of Alex do things he would never do in the first game Its like they are 2 different people. This is why prototype 2 failed and radical was shut down leading to no sequel, it's sad really
Oh no no wait wait, how bout the main character is the mysterious Paririah, Greens son? I mean it'd be interesting to see her song become a main character and take the main character slot like his two predecessors B4 him. I reckon he'd be a reluctant anti hero who hates what he is but has to do what he can
Malik Thompson I recommend it. Even though I played the original Prototype and the second one on PS3 it's still a blast to play on PS4. Just to let you know this isn't necessarily one of those games you play for the story well most preferably the second game but it's a really fun game that'll make you feel like a bad ass.
@@angelvillamin9262 it got shut down so prototype can't be continued anynore unless there some other developer take prototype series and revive it once again
Number 2's gameplay is really awesome, though not a fan of Heller, I unlocked alex mercer, and play it non stop. I really like the story in number 1 though, 2's was just stupid, almost no plot twist, and heller swearing every minute of the game.
His mean not gameplay of the player, he want to say that the producers made the game too easy to play even in the INSANE mode (Prototype2) Be cool :DDD
she wanted to infect each part of manhatten one by one and blackwatch contained the virus very well cause remember they even gave mercer alot of issues up until a certain point
My favorite part is disguising as a soldier and fist fighting infected and the military doesn’t seem to care that you clearly have super human strength
Dylan Bush It seems to be caused by the people he consumed.He just went from "WTF?" to "Consume everything" .I would like to see him as a hero who mastered the virus ,and not the virus mastered villain.
I swear that happens with all the games, I remember playing this Iron-man game on the PSP and it looked like something you would play on the PS5. Then I revisited it and it looked like LEGO Star Wars on crack
33:32 this is where i spend my time during free roams...just one man(or one thing) against an army hahahahhah best time of my life..miss the good ol days man
i only JUST came to this thought a while ago and here it is when 'cross' asks alex "did you ever consider how the parasite felt?" he's asking because at that point, 'cross' IS that parasite, just one that was given to greene instead he's basically asking mercer "did you feel ANY remorse or regret for what you did to me....or my brother?"
@@lorenzocarrari8636 i would suspsect cross was concerned with mercers adaptability perhaps "all evidence suggest mercer will adapt to the parasite" as cross dosent seem the kind to care about the target, but he does care about his men
This was such a great game i really enjoyed it playing. But whole plot was so confusing to me in the begining, but in the end it was like some of those CSI series on TV... WE SOLVED THE CASE !!!
Imagine a re-mastered version. Like a true re-master like the new Resident Evil games. Not just a graphical upgrade. But gameplay and UI. It would be amazing.
What Prototype 2 did to this character is one of the most fucking idiotic and pointless character assassinations in all of interactive media. This completely inhuman and murderous sentient virus actually somehow being a better person (or brother at least) than the man it unknowingly stole the identity of was just such a fascinating and thought-provoking plot revelation, but they just threw all of that character development out the window for no fucking reason other than they were too lazy to give Heller an original villain to fight which is especially baffling considering they already had a character who would have been perfect for it, Pariah. He is literally the ONLY lore-significant character who remains a complete mystery. We don't know where he is, what he looks like, what his motives are or what his powers are like. All we know is that he's Elizabeth Greene's son and P2 would have been the perfect opportunity for them kill two birds with one stone, expanding on Pariah's background while giving Heller an actual new threat to face without sacrificing Alex's character. It would have been a complete slam dunk for them but apparently bare minimum effort was somehow STILL too much effort for the writers. Prototype 2 is perfectly fine and enjoyable gameplay-wise, but its story and writing are the reason I will always utterly despise it with every fiber of my being.
Why do people keep thinking this is a knock-off-of-infamous? It's not! In fact, call me crazy. It's better! Infamous had no story that was good, i'll admit that. but prototype.. I feel more better being Alex Mercer than ColeMcgrath (Both conduit and vampire._), And James Heller than Delsin, And fetch.
it consumed cross after the first fight against mercer and due to cross always being a walker of massive power it increased the strength of the supreme hunter by ALOT btw walkers were Greene's Evolved
Erik Britz captain cross was Elizabeth green child. Hè like his mother had also an infected form of himself wich was the supreme hunter. Hè never got consumed hè just hide his form from the military since a Very young age and played along to get an escape wich mercer almost gave him

He knew as long as he exists the virus would spread. Driven mad by his situation he became a monster seeking only to force his cruel fate on everyone else. Alex Mercer died, what you see is a creature, even more true when he realises he’s not Alex Mercer anymore.
In Prototype 2 that isn’t Alex. The thing you face in 2 is just like the test subject you let loose in this one. She is the virus. Now Alex is the virus.They know nothing of who they were anymore and simply live to infect the world.
Since there won’t be a Prototype 3. I would speculate that James Heller would be captured and turned into an enemy in 3. His strain of the virus making another Alex Mercer in a super solider program. There would be conflict over the morals which releases Heller and accidentally spreads the virus. Ending in a perfect cure that kills Heller and all far gone mutated instantly.
Prototype is one of my favourite games. Who wouldn’t want to have Alex Mercer’s powers.
Alex was better as a protagonist in the first because it was like he's infected and is one with the virus and is part of the reason the outbreak happened because his colleagues he was working with were being silenced so he got paranoid and took a sample of the virus he was working on and attempted to escape the city because he knew an outbreak was going to happen. and they were going to soon come yo silence and kill Alex next.
Even as Alex as the virus from what I read about his past life and traits he shares the same personality as his original human counterpart. He still has Alex somewhere in him within the virus and it shows that throughout the game as he tried to make things right by stopping the spread of the virus because thought it was right.
Prototype2 just threw it all away and made the character of Alex do things he would never do in the first game Its like they are 2 different people. This is why prototype 2 failed and radical was shut down leading to no sequel, it's sad really
Oh no no wait wait, how bout the main character is the mysterious Paririah, Greens son? I mean it'd be interesting to see her song become a main character and take the main character slot like his two predecessors B4 him. I reckon he'd be a reluctant anti hero who hates what he is but has to do what he can
my boy did such an amazing job voicing Alex Mercer, everything is clean and well done, I wonder why he is not the voice of Alex in the Prototype 2.
god i lived for ths game when it came out in 2009
God I miss this game. Wish I could play it again.
Sean Chen You got a PS4 or Xbox One
Marvelous Mehki i saw tge biohazard collection at gamestop today
Malik Thompson Nice, I was gonna tell him about that but you beat me to it
Marvelous Mehki i was thinking about getting it thats the only reason im on this vid
Malik Thompson I recommend it. Even though I played the original Prototype and the second one on PS3 it's still a blast to play on PS4. Just to let you know this isn't necessarily one of those games you play for the story well most preferably the second game but it's a really fun game that'll make you feel like a bad ass.
this game should be rebooted by another studio since radical entertainment is gone. Lets just hope it wont be in a DmC type of way.
2020 what's DmC?
@@wolfboi7104 "DmC: Devil May Cry" from Ninja Theory, 2013.
It was a good game on its own, but a VERY BAD Devil May Cry game. (it's a "reboot")
What happened to radical?
@@angelvillamin9262 it got shut down so prototype can't be continued anynore unless there some other developer take prototype series and revive it once again
@@sakayuuto5076 well activisition still owns prototype so they can make a part three of the game if they want
Alex Mercer is the best!
He takes insperation from Shadow The Hedgehog or atleast that's what i think cuz they both are extreamely similar
Cybion Gaming Please don't compare A good game like Prototype to some fucking hedgehog. Thank you.
I M THE VIRUS
James heller is better
WAAAY better then James Heller
Makes an hour long vid and only puts three ads I love you man
Number 2's gameplay is really awesome, though not a fan of Heller, I unlocked alex mercer, and play it non stop. I really like the story in number 1 though, 2's was just stupid, almost no plot twist, and heller swearing every minute of the game.
that's fucking right~!
heller doesn't have personal charm
you're fucking right
and heller talks A LOT
idiots like this guy say dislike because of gameplay I don't care this was amazing keep up the great work
His mean not gameplay of the player, he want to say that the producers made the game too easy to play even in the INSANE mode (Prototype2)
Be cool :DDD
my favorite i can't believe it that i watch the whole story here of prototype here at youtube thank you for this!!!! :)

He doesn't actually kill Karen, Karen Parker just gets a face-full of virus wing-wong.
What happened to Karen Parker
Such an underrated game
That's the real Alex! not that crazy clone from the second game.
You can clone a virus?
you guys are doing alot of cool games lately. they are games i have which is how i know
***** haha that's a good gauge for good games =)
Prototype 1 is very old now though.
2 has better graphics, controls and cutscenes
***** Nah the story of 2 is okay
Above video game story standards for sure though.
+keyboardfriend Its True..What You Said....In 2 Alex..Is A bad Guy....I didnt take it Well When They released 2.

few weeks q c
I wonder why Greene couldn't create any infected that could swim off the island.
she wanted to infect each part of manhatten one by one and blackwatch contained the virus very well cause remember they even gave mercer alot of issues up until a certain point
The military wipes anything that tried to leave off the map
Because the virus can’t travel through water.
Prototype series is one of the most successful video games with an impressive storyline and creative designs.
And yet all that he has confessed to and I still sympathize with him. Why do games do this?
did i miss something? What happened to the nice doctor an his sister? Are they ok?
its Altaïr
Your pic is everything in my life ( ͡ʘ ͜ʖ ͡ʘ)
And yeah i was wondering the same like what happened to them ??
Well,dana appeared in prototype 2,and the doctor..
*He sure died like Father Guerra*
46:42 Chris?
Man, it would be nice to see this game remastered or remade
i TOTALLY agree with this
@@Norelphysame here
This game was awesome. I loved becoming a soldier and fighting the infected on the streets just with a gun.
My favorite part is disguising as a soldier and fist fighting infected and the military doesn’t seem to care that you clearly have super human strength
Every time I play this game I can feel adrenalin inside my body
The part where Alex wakes up doesn't have as much impact when my controller isn't scaring the shit out of me vibrating out of my hands lol
No one can stop Alex Mercer
57:40 Alex smiling
This game turns 10 on June 9th, happy birthday!

Master-Mind Clever yea your dumb. Alex Mercer is awesome but comparing him to superman. NO
MyNameIsDrope Superman ain't shit...
Compare Harry potter and Alex Mercer why don't you, lol
Master-Mind Clever hello just finished watching prototype 2 ending might wanna change ya mind if you watch it
not all superman each aren't the same in other universe
best game
12:52 Blackwatch Commander: *PUT ME DOWN!!!*
12:54 Mercer: With pleasure! **Consumes the Blackwatch Commander**
Dang!!!!! Mercer is awesome!!! Why does he have to be bad in prototype 2!!!!??!!! Please reply!
He went insane
Baricz Arnold I know, but it jsut seems odd.
Dylan Bush It seems to be caused by the people he consumed.He just went from "WTF?" to "Consume everything" .I would like to see him as a hero who mastered the virus ,and not the virus mastered villain.
Baricz Arnold That would have been so much better, but I can see the consuming part, he basically can see and have their personalities!
+Dylan Bush Today i replayed it,and to be honest...it was short,much shorter than i remembered.Now i don't know what do or what to play :\
What this really need is a movie !!!💯🔥
A series.
@@stanislous137on tv series
i swear this game looked wayy better when i was younger
I swear that happens with all the games, I remember playing this Iron-man game on the PSP and it looked like something you would play on the PS5. Then I revisited it and it looked like LEGO Star Wars on crack
It still looks fine.
OMG I LOVE THIS SERIES, WHY WONT THEY MAKE A 3RD ONE!!!!!!!
I would love to know.
The studio was shut down, but does this stop anyone from selling/buying the licence?
I find it ironic that this is a better venom movie then Venom (2018).
I want to see a fight between venom and Alex Mercer
33:32 this is where i spend my time during free roams...just one man(or one thing) against an army hahahahhah best time of my life..miss the good ol days man
It crazy how this game was made 2009 this goes to show that the classics can still be the best even in a new age error
Never seen a more impact full intro. I was floored playing this intro as a kid
Dante vs alec mercer who wins
Like: Alex Mercer
Comment:Dante
dante
Dude, I love Alex Mercer.
But Dante would just mop the foor with him.
I really love Alex but Dante is a true god, he can make Alex to vanish in one sec xd
Luca Mercer your not luna mercer, it’s Alex mercer name for you.
1:08:00 this is when he starts to turn crazy.
People keep shitting on this thing because of the plot and graphics, but this game is the SHIT! Even better then the second in my opinion
This game was amazing should have been more games
i only JUST came to this thought a while ago and here it is
when 'cross' asks alex "did you ever consider how the parasite felt?"
he's asking because at that point, 'cross' IS that parasite, just one that was given to greene instead
he's basically asking mercer "did you feel ANY remorse or regret for what you did to me....or my brother?"
Where and when He asked this? Also may i ask you what cross was meant to say at 37:50? Was He saying something in favour of Alex like or what
@@lorenzocarrari8636 48:43
@@midgerm hi thanks I was able to see all the video yet 😆 but for the other question you know nothing about it?
@@lorenzocarrari8636 i would suspsect cross was concerned with mercers adaptability perhaps "all evidence suggest mercer will adapt to the parasite"
as cross dosent seem the kind to care about the target, but he does care about his men
@@midgerm oh right maybe he could be..also did we know exactly when he got consumed by the hunter? I was wondering myself this for a long time ahah
This was such a great game i really enjoyed it playing. But whole plot was so confusing to me in the begining, but in the end it was like some of those CSI series on TV... WE SOLVED THE CASE !!!
The game itself could be a movie
The music the dialogue the story and ofc the action
Imagine a re-mastered version. Like a true re-master like the new Resident Evil games. Not just a graphical upgrade. But gameplay and UI. It would be amazing.
we all want to be Alex Mercer but if this happened in real life we would just be those people running and getting yeeted by Alex for no reason
Exactly why people should shut up.
What Prototype 2 did to this character is one of the most fucking idiotic and pointless character assassinations in all of interactive media. This completely inhuman and murderous sentient virus actually somehow being a better person (or brother at least) than the man it unknowingly stole the identity of was just such a fascinating and thought-provoking plot revelation, but they just threw all of that character development out the window for no fucking reason other than they were too lazy to give Heller an original villain to fight which is especially baffling considering they already had a character who would have been perfect for it, Pariah.
He is literally the ONLY lore-significant character who remains a complete mystery. We don't know where he is, what he looks like, what his motives are or what his powers are like. All we know is that he's Elizabeth Greene's son and P2 would have been the perfect opportunity for them kill two birds with one stone, expanding on Pariah's background while giving Heller an actual new threat to face without sacrificing Alex's character. It would have been a complete slam dunk for them but apparently bare minimum effort was somehow STILL too much effort for the writers.
Prototype 2 is perfectly fine and enjoyable gameplay-wise, but its story and writing are the reason I will always utterly despise it with every fiber of my being.
His reason for becoming evil was actually in the comics but well no one really knew about thek.
I love this game because of Barry Pepper
He's the best in mw2 and Saving Private Ryan too
its been 5 years and i've on noticed at 37:19 the keyboard is upside down
Yeah, they made mistake
At this point even a Mafia treatment of the Prototype series will be preferred. Many people don't want this franchise to end here.
wait i just found something why is the leader hunter keep screaming its super loud!
25:18 thats some smoooooth fucking line at 2009 bro
That's the funniest line in the whole game imo
Alex Mercer is going to be in the next season of Death Battle, and his opponent is Cole MacGrath from Infamous
One of the best game I ever played
If they ever turn this into a movie it'll be so cool.
Why do people keep thinking this is a knock-off-of-infamous?
It's not! In fact, call me crazy. It's better! Infamous had no story that was good, i'll admit that. but prototype.. I feel more better being Alex Mercer than ColeMcgrath (Both conduit and vampire._), And James Heller than Delsin, And fetch.
This game is a masterpiece! It was my childhood! I used play this game a lot!
Only one thing remains: Where did Elizabeth Greene's baby go to and what about its own power?
Why wasn't he like Greene ?
Why did the general cut of his arm ?
How exactly the Supreme Hunter was made and why it targeted Cross ?
well, he cut his arm off bcz that part of him got infected when taking the child away from Greene. Or something like that.
it consumed cross after the first fight against mercer and due to cross always being a walker of massive power it increased the strength of the supreme hunter by ALOT btw walkers were Greene's Evolved
Erik Britz captain cross was Elizabeth green child. Hè like his mother had also an infected form of himself wich was the supreme hunter. Hè never got consumed hè just hide his form from the military since a Very young age and played along to get an escape wich mercer almost gave him
Hes so close to 2m subs congrats advance
Anyone after”Venom”movie?
This game was amazing. I bought in on a hunch when I was maybe 16? 17?
I should revisit it.
