It's not very nice to call someone a 'dick.' Where's that mod you were talking about?
But seriously, your reviews are terrible. If you're going to post junk and expect people to care, you should be careful not embarrass yourself in subsequent posts. Just some friendly advice.

LMAO.
My reviews so far have been helpful to people. I don't have time to get into extreme detail. I give the jist of things, not "this is what happens next, and then this, and then this". It's called PERSONAL REVIEWS, not 'this is what everyone else thinks of these games' so kindly excuse yourself
I don't really care if someone hates a game, I don't need that discussion to happen here. It's a review thread. You can feel free to talk about the games reviewed but it's irrelevent to turn a thread into "this game was groundbreaking", "no it wasn't", "yes it was". If you want to make a small comment on it, fine, but move on, don't carry it on.
If you want to discuss what is groundbreaking or not, make a thread about it but don't ruin mine because that is not the topic of this thread.
Thank you!
Did someone say something about a mortal combat?
Calling someone a dick is flaming. If you feel you need "a mod in here" please use the Notify Mod button instead of going about it this way.
Thanks

This is a review thread. People are posting their opinions. Reviews are opinions. Starting the thread doesn't give you dominion over its contents.
Besides, I enjoy reading the opinions of my fellow posters much more than reading your recitation of the list of characters in a 9 month old game nobody cares (or cared) about.
Back to the topic, I happen to think that the Mortal Kombat franchise was groundbreaking. Not so much because of the content of the games or their playability (I don't know much about the 2D fighting genre, so I'll leave it to others to comment on that), but because of the impact they had on the industry as a whole. Indirectly, Mortal Kombat 1 and 2 led to more bad blood between Nintendo and Sega, strife between the US government and the gaming industry as a whole, and then ultimately (and arguably) to the formation of the ESRB and similar global bodies.
IMO, that's reasonably groundbreaking.
that's not ground-breaking. that's influential
^ Exactly.
I am going to ignore the people ruining the thread with their useless input and continue my reviews.
I am going to state now that IF YOU ARE GOING TO COME INTO THIS THREAD AND BE A JERK OFF, DON'T BOTHER RESPONDING. THIS THREAD IS TO GIVE PEOPLE AN IDEA ABOUT SOME RANDOM VIDEO GAMES I HAVE PLAYED, NOT TO READ SOME BS FROM PEOPLE WHO JUST WANT TO BE RUDE AND LOOK STUPID.
If you don't like the reviews, don't respond. I specifically said I don't want that garbage in this thread in my OP. No one is forcing you to read it. No one cares about whether you like it or not. I am not GameFaqs. I am getting to the point, not going into extreme details that no one wants to skim through.
If you want to comment on something like the MK discussion that happened earlier, that's fine, I don't really mind, but I don't want the entire thread to turn into a huge debate. If you really want to debate about something, make a thread for it. Please don't litter this thread with insignificant banter and make people have to skip a zillion posts regarding a debate or WAHHH I DON'T LIKE THESE REVIEWS to get to another review.
This is suppose to be a friendly thread that offers people a bit of help on deciding which games to play or not. RELEASE DATE OF THE GAME DOESN'T MATTER. There are still people who want to play older games but weren't sure if they should try it or not so it is still RELEVENT.
Thank you to the members who have been mature here and have added friendly input. It is MUCH appreciated!

Prototype
Released: 06/09/09 (NA), 06/10/09 (Europe)
Platforms: PS3/X-Box 360/PC
A virus infects the residents of New York City and the military are trying to stop it.
You play the role of Alex Mercer, who is a shapeshifter and can absorb energy. He wakes up in GENTEK, which is a genetic engineering company, with no memory of what happened to him.
Alex escapes and sets on a mission to discover what happened to him by 'consuming' certain people and getting his memory back, little by little.
Captain Cross, part of the military, has been given orders to capture Alex, which makes your quest a bit of a challenge because the military are roaming the streets so your best bet is to comsume a random civilian and morph into them so the military doesn't detect you. Just remember to hide when you morph because the military will attack you if they see you transform.
Alex then meets up with his sister, Dana, who helps him on his mission.
You basically fight your way through New York City, taking down infected civilians, Hunters (they look like the Lickers from Resident Evil), the military and hives as you consume your memory targets and find out what happened to you and the truth behind GENTEK.
The game's graphics are so so. Sometimes, it looks like a PS2 game and other times, it looks more like a PS3 game but it's overall not really that impressive. The buildings throughout NYC don't really have a lot of detail and the entire city looks the same.
The game is fun but the fun fades because the game is basically you running through the city killing a bunch of people, destroying yet another military base, shooting down yet another hive.....it's fun to randomly kill a bunch of people and run over them in a tank but even that gets bland after you do it for 90% of the game. It's just too repetitive.
The level of toughness can be ridiculous at times. I played it on normal and some missions were really easy but other missions had you wondering if they game suddenly changed it's setting to near impossible. In one mission, I had to go destroy enemy tanks and you can hijack tanks so I had to get a tank and try to blow these enemy tanks away. Problem is, on top of the tanks attacking you, you also have helicopters, infected civilians and Hunters, all at the same time (I think there were also some on foot military there as well, I forget). Your tank has a 'life' bar and when that 'life bar' is done, your tank blows up and you are back on your feet again and have to hijack another tank. While you are hijacking another tank, all of these enemies are still attacking you all at once and you keep getting shot off of the tank. You can't really do much on your feet because all of these enemies are attacking you and you die fast. It is really frustrating and you seemingly want to give up and not even bother because the mission makes it that hard just to hop into a tank.
There are events set up throughout the city that reward you with bronze, silver or gold medals, depending on if you beat the records for each medal. Most events are pretty easy but others are a pain the ass. I found some trouble with the events which require you to hit glowing green markers by running to them. Sounds easy, except the controls can really suck at times and you can't hit the marker. You usually have to jump from building to building and scale walls to hit these markers.
Trophies in this game aren't all hard to get but some take way too long. One trophy is obtained by killing over 53,000 people. That is a lot of time wasting to hit that number and most people couldn't be bothered. In my quest, I felt like I ran over that many people in my tank but it wasn't even close. Unless you have a load of time on your hands and don't get bored of killing that many people, it's not even worth a try.
I wouldn't say this game is bad because I did enjoy it but I personally found it to be the type of game that I want to finish one time just to complete the story. As I mentioned, it's just all too repetitive and the scenery isn't anything you want to stare at for long periods of time. The characters aren't all that likeable, either. Alex is alright because his shapeshifting is pretty damn cool but you don't really feel sorry for the guy. When you play a game like GTA4, you feel more of a connection with the characters but I didn't find that in this game. Frankly, I couldn't give two shits if Alex found out about his past or not.
This game is definately a rental. You don't want to waste $60+ on it because you will get bored of it.

You're posting your opinions on games ... in a public forum ... a forum intended for discussion and, yes, sometimes disagreement. If you just want your soapbox so you can tell the world how you feel about Grand Theft Auto or whatever, get a blog and turn the comments off. But when you start a thread essentially titled, "THESE ARE MY REVIEWS! LISTEN TO ME" ... well, you shouldn't be surprised if people don't like your style, or your conclusions, and then decide to call you on it.
*sigh*
I am not telling ANYONE to listen to me. I am just saying that this is my own personal opinion and it might help people to choose a game. I never stated I was 100% right in any way, I just wanted to keep the thread friendly instead of having people jump in and say "this reviews sucks". If they don't like it, they don't have to answer it or read it. It's just a friendly review that people are being rude about, which isn't exactly the way TrekBBS usually is.
LOL
But then you had to go and un-LOL it : (
You've brought that on yourself, pumpkin.
You must be new
Anyway, captcalhoun, you're right. Influential was the correct choice of word.
I'm still LOLing.
Oh, and Mortal Kombat indeed kind of sucks. I don't think it really added anything to games in general. There would've just been some other first big controversial violent game for people to bitch about. The fighting mechanics were nothing revolutionary. Don't get me wrong, it was fun, but it's largely overrated and irrelevant.
So, basically, what you're saying is that the only people you want posting in here are the people that agree with your opinion, or who want to congratulate you for your reviews?
Tough.
This is a public forum, and anyone is entitled to post comments here, regardless of whether they agree with you or not. You don't own this thread. It wouldn't have been so bad if people were calling you names or getting personal with you over your opinion, but they didn't. They simply disagreed with you, and stated their own opinion, and for that you start calling people dicks and threatening mod action, as if the mods here are your own private thread police. Get over yourself.
If you don't want discussions to form as a result of your posts, then don't post on a fucking discussion board. Get a blog and turn user comments off.
LMAO, the direction this is going is hilarious.
To the guy above, I don't know how much more clear I have to be when saying that I NEVER STATED THAT ANYONE SHOULD LISTEN TO ME BECAUSE I AM RIGHT. I STATED THAT THESE ARE PERSONAL REVIEWS JUST TO HELP PEOPLE OUT. I SAID THAT SOME PEOPLE MIGHT LIKE THE GAMES MORE OR LESS BUT I DON'T NEED SOME USELESS "MK SUCKS" COMMENTS WHEN THE THREAD IS NOT ABOUT THE MK SERIES.
I have asked people to stay on topic if they could and I asked nicely. If people don't agree, I have absolutely no problem at all with them disagreeing and talking about it in a mature way but I don't need stupid "your reviews suck" comments. I am not a professional and I am trying to keep the discussion as civil as possible. People don't have to like what I have to say, I am not asking that they do, but if they disagree with something, they can phrase it a lot better than "this review sucks". It would be far more interesting to read why these people like/dislike the games more than I did.
This thread started turning into a discussion about whether MK was influential or not and that is not the topic of the thread. I said I don't really mind a few comments about it but the entire topic was derailing into a huge debate about it and that is not what the thread is for.
Next time, before you hop on the bandwagon of 'you expect people to listen to you and think you are right', take a second to actually read the posts because I had already addressed the situation and your accusations are 100% false.
I might not "own" the thread but I did make it so I get a bit of say in what direction I would like it to go and derailing it isn't exactly where I want it to go. It's not hard to simply discuss the games mentioned instead of talking about Mortal Kombat and what it has done for the gaming world. That's another thread.
THANK YOU!
I would appreciate no more arguing. I by no means think I am awesome at reviewing, I am just giving some quick feedback on the games to help people, not create these wars.

Only one person said your review was terrible, and he wasn't even the guy you called a dick. You threw that one out there just because someone dared to continue discussing MK after you demanded they stop. Your overall attitude in this thread has been pretty shitty, so much so that a Mod, and even a certain jack-booted Admin, called you on it. And you still think you're in the right here?
Stop arguing. If you want to keep throwing out accusations, feel free to PM me. If not, please end the argument.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I haven't accused you of anything. I have blatantly said you were being shitty with people, and the mere existance of this thread proves it.
And why would I waste my time PMing you? You called a guy a dick openly on the forum for not doing what you told him to, so why should I believe you can carry out a civil conversation behind closed doors?
As for why your thread is getting "derailed" with "irrelevant" conversation; you created an all-encompassing thread for your reviews. By its very nature, people will still be discussing the points raised by your last review when you're ready to post your next. You don't get to tell people to stop talking with each other just because you're ready to move on. May I suggest that, in the future, you keep each review seperate in its own thread. That way the discussion can evolve without you resorting to calling people dicks because you want to move on.

For example: There is a perfectly fine Prototype thread on the second page of this forum. What's wrong with issuing Kirk's_Tights Reviews in the relevant threads?
If the purpose was not to say "HEY! HERE IS WHAT I SAY ABOUT CERTAIN GAMES" ... well, then, I guess I just don't get it. Then again, I don't get people who need to start individual threads about their opinions on the new Star Trek film, as opposed to using the general review thread in that forum.

I didn't mean the dick comment as a direct insult, I meant the nature of his posting. My wording may have suggested otherwise but I didn't mean to make it what it seems.
I just wanted a positive thread because I know how personal reviews can get and I didn't want fighting.
I don't want to discuss the arguing anymore please.
