Prototype 2 Is A Mutated Glitch Fest, But At Least It's Funny

Posted on Thursday, May 3 @ 14:25:14 Eastern by Jonathan_Leack

After playing Prototype 2 for a few hours I couldn't help but notice that it's a bit buggy, but not in the conventional sense. I'm talking Fallout 3 head-spins, Skate 3 ragdoll fails, and the infamous Team Fortress 2 'spy crab'. I'm talking the funny glitches that cause uncontrollable laughter instead of broken controllers.

Now, I can't capture footage from my console — at least not yet — but a quick trip to YouTube unveiled a few people who can, and as a result I have a couple of funny clips to share.

The first video shows your typical animation glitch. I don't know about you but I never thought I'd see the day when someone could pull off The Worm while being choked mid-air. Truly extraordinary.

That one is pretty good, but the next one is even better. How about a mid-air running man at your next rave? This guy would win dance contests with ease. That is if he was still alive, anyway.

So Prototype 2 isn't the first glitchy game to come out, and it probably isn't the last, but at least many of its glitches aren't game-breaking. Leave that handful of agony to Bethesda's games.

If glitches do not negatively impact the game, they can make it more enjoyable. Sometimes.

Maybe devs should spend less time on dlcs and multiplayer and make sure the game runs properly.

Skate 3 is glitchy in the funniest way imaginable. You should check out a YouTube video sometime.

Why do you think it's called 'Prototype'?

I kinda wanted to pick this up just cause I never played the original and this one seems to have a new protagonist and looks cool and if you pick it up some places have it so you can dl the first one for free.

I also like the whole random super hero genre after Infamous 1 and 2.
