Prototype

The bossfights are so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ unfair
Yes, this is a rant threat, but seriously, the bossfights in Prototype are so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ unfair, that I want to throw my controler at the wall in anger. I just fought Elizabeth Greene again and she's really a prime example of what's wrong with the bosses.

You want a fair 1 on 1 combat in this game? Forget about it. During the bossfights you get constantly harassed by other infected, so that you can't make undisturbed attacks. And if that's not enough the developers thought it would be a good idea to send a pack of Hunters to really make sure that you can't attack the boss anymore. You want to attack the enemy with something else than your Whipfist? Be prepared for a Hunter smashing into you and draining half of your health. You want to consume other infected to regenerate health? Too bad that there are two Hunters attacking you and breaking your consume animation, leaving you with less health than before. You managed to get a tank to fight the boss? Nice for you, but it will be destroyed by the Hunters or the boss after a few seconds.

Maybe I'm a bit exaggerating here, but the game really felt like this when I fought Greene and . I recognise the diference between a tough boss fight and an unfair bossfight and most of Prototype's bosses are just unfair in my opinion.

the green fight is super easy there are so many targets to consume (and outrunning hunters or kiliong them is easy, they are weak mobs that you can face tank with no issue) till your full health and the area is full ally ways to walk down to aviod the boss. not to mention military shows up an yuo can steal their tanks.. as for final boss fight he is difficult but only because or his count down when you get him low, which an easy work around is to hold onto a bazooka and do nothing while the military brings him to that point then spam the rocket launcher till it stuns the boss, then jump on him and beat him down after words is literally takes 2 seconds to finish his remianing health.

1. Upgrade your ♥♥♥♥. 2. Learn to run & grab. Get on a roof and consume. 3. Greene is the easiest bossfight in the game. I finished this game when I was seven.

You just need to learn to play the game lol, its that simple, get the hang and feel for the character and voila, or it may seem that games like this just are not for you :)

Ya, there's a LOT of games out there harder than this one. I found it to be one of the easiest of the games in my collection.

You're making it more difficult than it actually it. Basically, in the game, using the Whipfist and the armor upgrades are extremelly OP. The whipfist is op because (Using the Xbox controller as reference) pressing the X then Y combo close range it'll land a couple of hits on the enemy, basically instantly killing hunters. You can also grab infected/humans from a distance so you can consume them. And finally you can press or hold Y to land a long range hit to a target, which is pretty useful during the boss fight with Greene. Combine that with the armor and you are basically unkillable.

So basically if yu fail you really shouldent be gaming and its not the game thats a fail it is ultimately that you are the major fail its so easy lol

The point is, that even though Alex is amazingly powerful, the bosses are so strong that he can't just go head-to-head and expect to survive. You have to make the environment work for you. In the Green fight (for example) You have to avoid fighting on the ground near her because you'll take too much damage and your moves will be interrupted constantly. Get to the top of the surrounding buildings and do a heavy attack from above (elbow slam, cannonball, whatever your best drop down attack is). As you lose health drop down to the street out of sight of Green and consume some citizens to top yourself up. When tanks are in range commandeer one and go to town on Green. Note that even when Green disappears and regenerates her tentacles, her main body health remains at the level you knock her down to; keep whittling away at her while keeping yourself alive.

For me, this was certainly one of the easier boss fights. I would not have thought to use the whipfist and, in fact, I don't think I ever used the whipfist as my weapon of choice throughout the entire game. I actually spent most of this battle running up buildings and attacking from above. The hunters were never a problem as they don't scale buildings as quick as Alex can. Even when attacking Greene's exposed base I just focused on her and ignored the hunters attacking me.

Some of the bosses do seem tough. The early one where you lure the hunters to the base I found to be such a hectic battle, especially as it comes so early in the game. I certainly died a few times in there. And fighting Cross inside the hive was so difficult to work out what strategy was needed. Again, I died a few times in there before everything just went my way. But that's all a distant memory now as I've just started a NewGame+ with a fully upgraded Alex so I'm ready for my revenge !!

It wasn't that hard...just learn to adapt...like a virus (pun lol)
I used Muscle Mass, Armor, CannonBall and Spike Devastator on Elizabeth, Blade when stunned on ground.

Just learn to switch it up and adapt, and soooo easy from there on, once you have mastered ya powers your unstoppable :D
