[QUOTE="BioShockOwnz"]GTA IV > Both.IronBass
GTA IV has not been as directly compared as these two games.

Nope. All sandbox. A score is a score of quality, not gameplay styles, so it's fair to compare the genre and its quality, at least that's what some of the fella's told me in the Sess thread. ;) So yeah, 10 > 9.0 > 8.5. GTA IV wins. Harharhar, I can do that, too. So bad. GTA IV is still the sandbox king.

I bought it today and don't regret it. The graphics aren't too good and the controls take getting used to but the game is fun as ****.

Very good score, I'll be checking this one out. Ultimately, this game is practically as good as infamous but it doesn't matter, gamers win again.

BioShockOwnz

I have not said the contrary.

I pointed that GTAIV has not been compared with Prototype or inFamous as directly as those both with each other (IIRC, you yourself made a thread comparing both).

So yes, 10 > 9 > 8.5, but that's not too relevant because the recent "match" has been between inFamous and Prototype (not GTAIV, in fact, it has not even been mentioned in quite some time).

And inFamous won :)

Yay lets make up the rules as we go along to fit the outcome we want! Good to know

MGS4>GTAIV because MGS4 is the better action-adventure game according to gamespot since their of the same genre

And GTA IV beat both, which makes it the superior. Maybe next time, Sucker Punch and Radical. :)

MGS4 = GTA IV. 10 = 10. :)

Btw, I love inFAMOUS and Prototype, but let's be honest, GTA IV is the superior sandbox game, at least according to reviews, which is what you guys keep arguing, so I'll throw a wrench in the cog.

inFAMOUS and Prototype have different power palettes, different worlds, different ways to traverse (platforming in inFAMOUS, locomotive adaptive parkour in Prototype), and vehicles to use in Prototype. Different games set in sandbox worlds, but you're still comparing, so we might as well throw in GTA IV.

Yes, GTAIV > both (as you already said). Nonetheless, inFamouts> Prototype, and that's what matters to me right now. :) Poor 360, it has not got the best support lately :(

Bashing 360 with mutliplats that are considered "great"? Nice.

"Bashing"? There's no bashing. It's just stating a -sad- fact. inFamous (not on 360) > Prototype.

I personally thought Crackdown 1 was great, though had some weird problems. But it looks like Microsoft really wants to push Crackdown 2, so the dev's will have a lot more time and resources to make Crackdown 2 awesome :D

...Kinda like Killzone 2!

Nope, you're using a multiplat to somehow tear down the 360. And not only that, but you've posted the same thing atleast 5 times already. There seems to be a trend. Why not actually play Prototype? I mean, isn't that what us gamers do with "great" games? I mean, if you have, we can have a very deep debate about the ins and outs of both titles; pros and cons. How is it "sad" that gamers across the board get a "great" game? Please do tell. Metroid Prime 3 got an 8.5.

I have not "somehow teared the 360 down". I just stated that inFamous scored better than Prototype, and that inFamous is not on the 360. Both are facts, and I'm just stating facts :)
And not only that, but you've posted the same thing atleast 5 times already. BioShockOwnz
Only 5? I was sure it was 7... Maybe I need to double-check my posting history.

K. Guess that ends this. inFAMOUS > Prototype.

inFAMOUS + Prototype > only owning one.

And that's a fact. Stating facts is my deal. :)

8.6 games = 10's, iyo?!

Hopefully this encourages more people to buy it, it really is a pretty damn fun game. Even the graphics are better then I thought they'd be, though explosions are still really really bad lol.

Why not play Prototype? Maybe cause if I owned inFamous I would play that.? It is great that gamers can get a good game across the board but at the same time its sad that a better game in the same genre isn't on the 360. 360 owners miss out.

It's a PS3 and PC game, too.

And it averages around what Gamespot gave it:

http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/ps3/prototype

So what's the excuse? Have you played it and can you debate these reviewers? If not, I guess it's not as good as that Harry Potter game you rated very high, right? Just wondering.

-

And to wasdie, get both if you have both systems. I'm cool like that.

But it's multiplat? im sick of stupid cows thinking that prototype is 360 exclusive, get over it everyone wins... prototype and infamous are both great games and wether you have a 360 or PS3 you get to enjoy at LEAST one of them.

Agreed. They're both great and I can't stand cows that try ownage cause of a 0.5 gap in GS scores. Grow up.

both were destined to be great games... the problem was fanboys from each side who started the comparisons & discussions.. what's funny though was why PS3 fanboys even bothered discussing considering they could get both on PS3..

Anyway glad that both games turned out great, atm playing inFamous but plan to get Prototypeon my 360 later on this summer (after i finish a backlog of games i got) :)

It seems the GS reviewed it from more of the 'how much fun I'm having' angle whereas IGN reviewed it more from a critical, or professional angle. Sort of like reviewing a purely entertaining movie...
