So a Prototype ISO just mysteriously appeared on my computer without my knowing or permission that just so happened to have a crack with it, so I decided to try it out :lol: . I can say that this game is quite possible my favorite open world game ever. Once you get good at moving around with the character you get a thrill unlike any other game I've ever played. I do find that on Medium it's a bit easy to whore abilities and EP though, but that's my only complaint, and maybe it will be better when I play it on Hard. The stealth system is there, it's unnecessary, and almost unused, but there, and far too easy :P.

Overall I reccomend ANYONE who likes to fark around in an open world setting to try this game, mainly GTA fans, as it bears most resemblance.

So, anyone else played?



None.

Woah

I was just looking at this game a moment ago. I've been psyched for weeks and have yet to play it. My major fear is that it's basically an Assassin's Creed rip-off. Is that fear valid?

I have a feeling I'll end up picking it up on Steam soon, anyway.

How are the controls on the PC? I suck at console gaming so I'd rather get it on the PC as long as the controls seem feasible.

Hell no, it's only resemblance to AC is rooftop jumping and general badassery of your character. And the controls are actually quite decent, however after you get to the endgame some of the abilities are harder to figure out how to pull off (mainly the last Sword upgrade where you can run with it in front of you - I still can't figure out what the hell I'm supposed to do).
My only complaint is with some of the endgame enemies - but I can't say much about them without possibly spoiling a bit of the story.



None.

NudeRaider -- blessed innocent soul knows nothing of the strife we had before EUDs were discovered :teehee:

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.
[2026-6-20. : 3:47 pm]
NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:
