Still… it does look like a lot of fun, and enthusiasm can overcome some of my distaste." That could so easily be attributed to any of the warlords of history, or perhaps to Bomber Harris “I’m not a huge fan of civilian slaughter.

Early on it is just total slaughter, but if you're careful you can avoid hitting anyone but your enemies. Which makes a bit of sense really, since given that the main character doesn't really have any level of fine control over his powers he'd have a hard time not hitting people by accident.

I'm not a huge fan of civilian slaughter. Still... it does look like a lot of fun, and enthusiasm can overcome some of my distaste. But I think that's a good reason to be put off.

You guy serious!? I'm... I'm... pumped! It's amazing and beautiful. @Testicular Torsion: Just imagine each person you kill as your boss, or someone you hate... you can do so many things. Oh gosh I can't wait. I LOVE PROTOTYPE! Wow. You guy serious!? I’m… I’m… pumped! It’s amazing and beautiful.

I can see why people are excited about it -- it looks like a ton of fun, frankly. The fluid running and jumping looks sweet. The "Patsy" part was ridiculously awesome. But I just can't get past the "let's kill lots of people, soldiers and civilians alike, in increasingly cruel and gory fashions" thing. I've tried, really. A friend of mine is a programmer on the game, so I'm trying hard to like it each time a new trailer comes out, but they all seem to be glorifying gratuitous bloody violence on a massive scale, which I just can't get past. Sigh. Ditto. I can see why people are excited about it — it looks like a ton of fun, frankly. The fluid running and jumping looks sweet. The “Patsy” part was ridiculously awesome.
