Forums - Gaming - Help me scratch my Hulk: Ultimate Destruction itch

Prototype but it didn't scratch my Hulk itch. It reminded me of playing as Bruce Banner after clearing the game only slower and with less character. Bruce Banner doing 200ft elbow drops just doesn't seem right. The enemies are meh like Ang Lee's Hulk Dogs.... oh wait, they ARE Ang Lee's Hulk Dogs.

from what I have heard you best bets would be Prototype, Just cause 2 and maybe Red Faction: Guerrilla and possibly the original Crysis. Thos I don't think any of them are exactly what you want they would probably be the closest games out there.

No... JC2 is really limited in its destruction factor (how many times did I have the firepower to erase a city and couldn't? Every time I visited a city!), and in RFG you're just too vulnurable, albeit you can destroy a lot of shit and the system won't even blink or chug... Prototype IS the way to go.



Definitely Prototype. Has a distinct 'I'm the meanest mutha in town' vibe. Military is pretty much a joke in the game, you'll wade through like so much ants. There is a lot of freedom to not follow the mission and simply dick around. Some of the side mission can be challenging (although often a little fustrating to perfect).

The amount of restrictions you apply make it hard to suggest anything really.

How is asking for mayhem a restriction, much less multiple restrictions?

" a sandbox experience built around feeling powerful and being able to dynamically change the world around you"

Multiple :P

That is not what restriction means!

Of course those are restrictions. It restricts me from suggesting you a game where you don't feel powerful and where you can't dynamically change the world around you. Otherwise it would be a bad suggestion that goes against your request.

There's no point in being that pedantic; otherwise "sandbox game" is a restriction too.

What I'm presenting are qualities which make for g ood suggestions; you're free to make shitty suggestions, of course, it's just not encouraged.

Beautiful.  Next time I get some money together, then...

But how would you know a suggestion is good or bad if you haven't played the game I suggest?

It would be too late once you bought it.

That's why I make suggestions carefully.

There are certain section of the game I'll label hard, I won't spoil the plot too much but you can guess from the picture that you'll be fighting more than the military. If you want back story then Mercer is one mean son-of-a-bitch; his ability outside of the game scope and going into the story territory is Cthulhu-nightmare-from-the-deep level scary. Again if I reveal too much I'd probably spoil the plot but as far as personality goes, I've never play such magnificent villain as Alex Mercer and had so much FUN doing it.

Sure there are like a bunch of people you liked in the game and you didn't kill EVERYONE, but really, you're still an amoral and somewhat sadistic killing machine that not only slaughter people without mercy but then proceed to EAT them and then ABSORB the dead man's memory and skills before using said skills against the dead man's friend, smiling in sadistic glee while wearing the dead man's face.

In short, you will slaughter the civilian, you will slaughter the military, you will even slaughter the other monsters because YOU ARE THE TOP OF THE FOOD CHAIN DAMMIT!

And best of all, you WILL feel good about it because each kill will make you stronger, faster and just plain BETTER:

Now You are become Death, the destroyer of worlds

Finally, if you REALLY want, then you can also play the game like some kind of elite chameleon assassin, taking on the face and knowledge of your victim, sowing confusion and chaos among the enemy while killing them one by one. I like to imagine the fear running through these 'harden' military veterans as their number dwindle one by one until at last, there is but one man left, trembling in terror at the ghost town you just created before finally joining his comrade in eternal torment, his scream of terror cut short by a sick squelching noise: Alex Mercer has just become his immortal god.

SUFFER.

Just to drive home the point, here's a killing montage:

 

...

Sooo, hows that for a sales pitch? Interest? :D

No, no, no don't buy it. A weekend will be plenty. Just rent it. You shouldn't reward mediocrity.

On paper it should be a better UD but it really isn't. It has the replayability of a matchstick. They just 'HD-ed' UD thus  slowing the game down (who slows down game speed these days) and changed the Hulk into an evil emo who apparently is 'badass'. He isn't 'badass' he's a whiny pussy who the Hulk could squish with ease.

Just so you know, all powers are unlocked at the start for the first mission, 5 minutes, and then they take them all away as we go back in time and follow Alex Mercer on his 3 day adventure where we have to unlock all the moves that we previously had. The kids love it because it's all gross and hardcore and stuff and it has a real story. Grownups will play through it wishing they were playing as Hulk against HulkBusters and Abomination instead of emo Banner v Ang Lee's Hulk Dogs.

Pyro of all the Nintendo fans on this site there are maybe two whose tastes I trust less than you, and when you bring in the whole "grownups will turn their noses up" thing you have pretty much clenched my anticipation for this game
