Fixed.

Yes. On topic, I looked at the endings for Prototype and Infamous and I have to say that Infamous's is more obiously retarded. Can anyone explain why on Earth the villian though his actions were a remotely good plan instead of doing... just about anything else actually.

Dude, no. I said I could not take it anymore. I took the #$(%*ing thing back. 29/32 missions completed.

I'm only about halfway through (17ish or something missions) and the monotony is starting to show already, though that could be because I'm also working on powering up as quickly as possible.

Just to inform you the SA goons are trying to decode/crack the PC version's formatting so they can mod it. Right now they've made some interesting progress with command-line arguments and the file formatting. Apparently it's mostly LUA, and you can use the Scarface archive extractor to crack the archive files that the game stuff is in.

most useful one so far is the Level argument, which you use as below:

prototypef.exe Level=Infected_Test

Of levels, there's a bunch of missions, then there's a few weird ones, like manhattanTest which is basically "get your genocide on" (no military, no infected, all powers unlocked at the start), Infected_Test (everything that can be a Hive is), and Military_Test (opposite).

gibbed is currently working on the graphics format, so if you bought the PC version there may or may not be modding in the near future.
