>>376215260

how can I get paid to shill on /v/

>>376214956
They wanted it to be bad that's all.

It replaces the cancelled open-world by literally who devs that was going to be awesome of course.
Also a lot of them think it's made by Bethesda
And it has Denuvo.

We were called shills despite the fact that it was obviously going to be at least a good game and probably GOTY, now that they see we were right they are turbobutthurt.

Dishonored 2 was good though, arguably better than Dishonored 1.

>>376215649
Yes, but this one I have no clue.

Terrible marketing mostly. Everyone assumed it would be another Dishonored 2 technical disaster and the demo not being on PC was a huge red flag. Then the PS4 demo was botched with bad controls, input lag and music glitches. Ironically the game runs pretty well on PC and people are mostly happy with it but the damage was already done, at best they can hope it gets positive word of mouth like DOOM.

>>376215104
The ending is indeed what the picture describes. Up to the epilogue where you learn that Earth is kaput.

Though I doubt it was an "insider". From what I heard some people got early access 1 week before release, at best, he's one of those guys.

I watched this shit for an hour, if you're the kind of braindead cunt who enjoyed Bioshock, maybe you'll like this.

It's not even vaguely like SS. Did any of your shills even play System Shock? The abilities actually did shit. The station was creepy and mechanical, not art deco Bioshock 2.0. Do you guys really think that if you set a game on some kind of spacecraft, with an "open" level plan, that's close enough?

>>376216793
Week early, from 2 months ago? Seems legit.

>half the game is apparently based around the "tense" atmosphere of encountering mimics
>they do almost no damage, and play an insanely loud audio cue every time they uncloak so that console kiddies won't miss them
Is this some kind of a joke?

Nice of them to throw in Denuvo so nobody can even patch it out to make the game tolerable.

>>376214956
I just finished it, what a shitty ending to a otherwise pretty good game.

>>376216997
>I watched this shit for an hour

Opinion disregarded.

>>376216158
>And it has Denuvo.

Only people who care it has denuvo are poorfags, it does absolutely nothing to people who don't have peasant boxes and 3rd world internet.

>>376217258
Did you play the game?

They wreak you in a second, especially if there are more of them (you encounter 3-4 at once in the first hour of the game). The bigger enemies kill you in a couple of hits and also some do damage if you come even close.

>>376216158
>cancelled open world

Oh no 3 intricately designed, multi leveled city hub worlds is automatically a vast, bland open world meme, by your reasoning you might as well lump DaS and Mankind Divided into the same category as Far Cry 3 and Skyrim you collosal pleb.

>>376217518
I'd never give Bethesda money in a million fucking years, dude.

>>376217538
this is /v/, of course >>376217258 didn't play the game.

only people who don't like it are ass pained pirate fags who mask their anger over denuvo by bitching about how the sequel to a game they never played was canceled and became something better

>>376217538
Yeah, and then I refunded it after an hour and 40 minutes. They do basically no damage, and you kill them in effectively a single shot with the glop gun.

Maybe the later enemies are a little tougher, but I'm not going to stick around to find out when I can just walk through any room and not even worry about the "sneak" attacks.

>>376217630
So shut the fuck up, you have no idea about what you're talking about.

>>376214956
Games pretty fun, 11-12 hours in and still havent finished, probably getting close. fun so far, only put one point into the alien skills for mimicry, dont know if thats gonna fuck over my ending or not.

No he's not her dad.

>>376217789
Were you playing one easy? I need around 3-4 hits with wrench to kill them, and at least 2 hits if I hit them with gloo gun. I'm playing on normal.

>>376217925
>I-I watched this video and I had to convince myself it's shit because I can't afford it
How does it feel to be a poorfag?

>>376218103
You hit them once with the glop gun, and they're stunned for so long that it wouldn't even matter if it took 5 additional hits to kill them. All you have to do is land a single shot on the 2-3 mimics that woke up and then casually beat them all to death.

>>376214956
Because its not piratable
But yeah its pretty good, the story couldve been better but the gameplay is good

>>376218216
Well ok. They are literally the first enemy in the game, they are the easiest to beat. I fail to see a problem, it is like complaining that first enemy in dark souls takes 2 hits to kill or that jumping on goombas in mario kills them.

>>376218615
Sure, if the game didn't constantly throw them at you given the game only has, what, 3 enemy types?

It's good but I fucking hate the Reactor level. Technopaths are fucking OP I swear.

>>376218749
11 types.

>>376214956
Completely fucking wrong. This game is generic as fuck and has no originality. It also happens to be an incredibly save reboot. Dishonored is an original ip, with creative story and gameplay. You're just a fucking retard if you think that they weren't forced to make prey. Prey is a suit game in every respect.

>>376218749
They're almost entirely replaced by Greater Mimics halfway through, who would much rather fuck your shit up than hide, and the 3 enemy types meme just means you've played the game for <5 hours.

It's pathetic how badly people wanted this game to fail, and now that it's out they have to resort to straight up lies to make it seem bad.

my only gripe is that i actually liked the prey games and besides the title this literally has no tie in in any way the game is fucking sick and better than the prey games im just confused why they used the name i mean i guess it correlates to the original prey game in the way the story is deep and intriguing idk im just confused

>>376219031
That is only the typhoons, not counting machines (which there are several types) and humans.

Prey was awful and no one was hyped for Prey 2.

>>376219729
I agree that stealing the name of an existing IP sucks, but you can't call the game shit just because of that.

>>376217401
it has multiple endings buddy

>>376214956
Have you seen ANY advertising for this game (maybe outside of 3 or 4 threads on /v/)?
The game is amazing, but it is going to do awful for a few years until a sale convinces a ton of popular youtubers to get it and all the little kiddies become aroused because "funny physics!!!"

>>376215293
They're not wrong though, the game is the best thing that's released in a while and I'd imagine /v/ would be in love with this game but there's no discussion to be found outside of people fighting in threads like this about OP being a shill

>>376219939
It wasn't a thing of Prey 1 original, Prey 2 that is cancelled had a huge GOAT potential, Blade Runner movie kind of feeling and similar, unique af concept, but they screwed it up. Even game demo was a blast.
This new Prey is like System Shock made by Bethesda while they think they make unique game and no1 did anything similar before.

>>376220027
Which means nothing after le epic plot twist

>>376219963
It's not shit because of that, it's shit because the primal concept for it was infinity times better than this one.

Game has denuvo so the piratefags will comvince themselves that it sucks since all they can play is an hour before they have to request a refund with mommys credit card

>>376220169
You must not have played very many games, friendo

>>376220247
I've seen the trailer, it looked pretty bad with cartoon like aliens and an edgy main character in a beanie instead of Tommy. Besides, sequels to mediocre games by the same devs are rarely dramatic improvements.

16h in.
This game is basically what if Bioshock was a good System Shock 2 spiritual successor.

>>376220331
Did we really need another open world FPS though?

>>376220416
What I don't understand is why develop such a strong opinion against something that was essentially a tech demo.

Even more confusing is why would you go to these lengths to defend this derivative, made-in-a-boardroom, garbage

>>376220372
Yep. Never had an interest in gaming but one day I decided to type in "https://www.4chan.org/V/" then all of a sudden I saw a thread about a game called Prey so I bought it as my first game and just can't believe that no one loves it as much as me!

Why would I talk about a game I can't pirate?
What kind of idiot burns $60 without knowing it's going somewhere worthwhile?

>>376220612
>What I don't understand is why develop such a strong opinion against something that was essentially a tech demo.
Why would people develop such strong opinions for it? The demo looked pretty bad and it was a sequel to a mediocre game, yet it has some ridiculously zealous fanbase that shitposted every nu-Prey thread to death with #NotMyPrey posting. It's just completely obnoxious and autistic, why would people be surprised there's a backlash? I don't care about Prey 2 at all, yet I have to because Prey 2 fanboys (as if you can be a fanboy of something that doesn't exist) make any discussion of Prey impossible with their autism.

The gameplay is mostly exploring areas looking for shit to recycle with some bonus shooting if you want to.
I still think they should cut the ammo drops in half even on Nightmare difficulty to force people to be creative.

>>376223282
Funny how GGGmanlives complained how the game just doesn't give you nearly enough ammo and he had to wrench his way through the last parts of the game.

and he played on normal

>>376223459
Well, I would be in deep shit with half my ammo removed, not gonna deny it, but it's the kind of game I'd like to play.
Enemies don't take a lot of shots to kill apart from some of the later ones that are like mini bosses so it would be completely doable.

>>376223282
I think it's balanced pretty well. I just don't really think there are really enough ways to kill stuff without ammo, especially if you are doing a non psyionic run.

People are busy playing the game and tired of dealing with shitpost.

So after you go to the arboretum, fix the lift, and come back to the lobby. There's a weaver there, and it doesn't seem to take any damage, from like, anything. Is it supposed to be invincible so you just avoid it, or did I do something to bug it out?

>>376223882
Turrets and wrench.
Backstab and Slow-mo to make every shot count.

>play the demo on PS4
>enjoy it
>can't enjoy playing FPS on consoles, so think about buying in on PC
>expensive as fuck in my hue money
>not even sure I'll be able to run it

Welp. I did really enjoy the demo, was a bit more terrifying than it should have been due to me missing half of my attacks on the mimics thanks to stick aiming.

How long does it take to beat the game?

Might be a Dead Space situation where if you try to switch between every gun in the game you're gonna be strained on ammo, but if you stick to a couple you'll be set. I don't know the whole arsenal besides pistol, shotgun, and gloo gun.

Arkane is such a shit studio. Hard to believe they come from Looking Glass.

Tips for people playing it
Screen Space DO and Screen Space Refelctions doesn't work properly. You need to put them in off, go back in the game and after that put them back on in the menu for them to work.

>>376226228
somewhere in one of the menus, I think it's status, you can check whether you've hit the "alien material threshold" or not.

>>376226228
Thats weird. They turned on me (along with nightmare) from the first one I installed.

>>376226302
When you encounter it a timer should start. If you can live until the end (I think) It should leave the area.

>>376225920
>>376226257

i do. i have points in stealth. but the enemies are sort of unpredictable. they can turn around at any moment and catch you with your scope out just staring at them. i can try the ol gloo gun i suppose.

also why do i have the names of mimics, phantoms, and even poltergeist (after fighting just one and never pulling out my scope thing), but after killing 5+ purple phantoms they are still ??? for me?

Is the game fun?

I want to play it but the enemy variety looks really lacking

The guy is a fucking noob that literally needs to git gud.

I don't watch the guy, but know about him since /v/ constantly brings him up as if he's some kind of an expert.

I've been linked a vid of one of his reviews where he complains that mobs shoot leading shots (they shoot where you gonna be instead where you are now, which should force you to change trajectory, like most good players do), and that's unfair because he's unable to circlestrafe around mobs as easily as he thinks he should.

explain

>>376226554
I think the story reveals some of the names of creatures without having to scan them (like mimic and normal phantom) but nightmare i know wasn't even seen by the scientists before you ran into one so you are forced to scan it to learn whats up.
Might be a similar case with things like the electric and flaming hot phantoms.

Take a stack of material put it in the recycler bin, make 9 stack by using split and then recycle.

How long is the game side quests included? I'm tempted to get it but not if it's as short as Dishonored.

It's really weird how people are so butthurt that this game has nothing to do with an ok Xbox 360 game asides from sharing a really basic and simple title.

Damn, someone is powersperging the fuck out in this thread. You think someone bullied him today?

The game wasn't even developed with prey as the working title. Something bethesda slapped on it to save them from losing trademark.

So does this game run okay on mediocre rigs (unlike Dishonored 2)? Everyone seems to be claiming that it's well optimized

How far into the game am I if I'm in the Water Treatment place on the way to G.U.T.S?

>>376230789
So basically they pulled what the guy who made Blade Runner did? Kinda shitty but I can't blame the devs, that sounds like a dickhead executive made the decision.

>>376230789
Actually, Arkane had total creative freedom, it's just that they knew from the beginning they had to use the Prey name.

>>376230812
It's well optimized because two options in the graphics settings don't work properly.

>>376230812
depending on what mediocre is but my 780 is running it more than fine. graphic difference between medium and high aren't much either.

>>376230865
Anyone? I feel like I'm progressing a bit too quickly.

Is the 'abandon ship' ending the same as the actual endings or totally different and worth just doing for that?

>>376231302
Different I guess otherwise the "true" ending is a 2 second cinematic before a game over.

>>376231282
When the game tells you to go through the GUTS to get the Arboretum, you're about halfway through the main storyline

>every prey thread ever

>>376231551
Cheers anon, does exploration hold up all the way through or does it drop off a bit? I've been loving just wandering round and searching for things til now. I just wish there was more weapon variety.

Just started it tonight, opening is quite thrilling (Breaking the glass was a fantastic moment. Was any of that fake life stuff in the trailers? Didn't keep up with the game after Prey 2 was dropped)

Feels like the story and setting are the strongest part (combat is a bit clunky but it has some unique factors). i'm only just entering psychotronics or whatever its called now so its still just a heavy myster.

>>376231302
It's a bad end, you get a little glimpse of the real ending and then a game over
>>376231813
The Arboretum has the crew quarters which I liked exploring, once you have access to the main elevator you can go down to life support and explore that area. You'll also find an important side mission there.

>>376231873
Beware of spoilers, these threads are full of them. I already know the end and had the glass part spoiled for me.

Just a heads up.

Really digging it so far.

>>376233698
yea thats literally the entire point of the nerf gun. hitting buttons. it working on touch screens or distracting enemies are things that the game doesnt tell you and require a little experimenting.

Is mimic the only way to get into room with the fuck up door in the crew quarters?

>>376234118
Recycler grenades can be used to clear level 3 leverage obstacles as well.

Explosive cannisters also work.

>>376234494
It was actually the same door >>376234291 was talking about. It wasn't blocked by physics objects but the baked in environmental obstructions.

I'm trying to load my most recent game and i keep getting a message that says this save is incompatible with the most recent version. I was literally just playing 2 hours ago. What the fuck

>>376215163
It's a suit upgrade, you probably already have it.

>>376214956
I'm enjoying the game, but the posts are so shit in this thread with irritating faggots trying to pretend all negative reviews are from butthurt pirates that I almost want to disparage the game in spite of them.

I bought the game and I don't pirate, but even I think Denuvo is a costly, worthless, piece of shit you goddamn retarded fucks.

>>376234136
It actually has a note during the whole get to calvins office explaining the nerf bullets about hitting buttons from afar sorta explaining what you can and can't do.

>>376235096
right thats what i meant. the game tells you it can be used to hit buttons.

>>376217789
Wow. It's like refunding Half Life after an hour because you didn't like headcrabs

There are some weird people on this board

>>376217789

That's like refunding a racing game because the starter car doesn't go fast enough.

>>376217789
They're just humanoid damage sponges that phase in and out. That no one is even calling it out ITT should give you an idea of who you're talking to.

I feel sorry for you

>>376233909
if you buy it from cdkeys you get extra code for the pre order bonus.

Just met January in person and now gone to psychotronics.

This game is far better then it had any right to be. Bethesda did a shitty job in marketing this just like they did with Doom.

Can some anons post their ammunition count for shotgun and pistol? I've already got hundreds of both shells and pistol ammo but I used the pre-order bonus like an idiot. Made it way too easy for myself.

god damn this game is fun. love the exploration and level design.

>>376237641
>but I used the pre-order bonus

what bonus? i got a reskinned shotgun, but no ammo. cant fathom how you have hundreds of rounds unless you are crafting tons of ammo yourself.

Love the game but they should have added some more security weapons, like an smg or maybe a stronger melee weapons.

>>376237782
Crafting the ammo is actually pretty easy to get. I've been doing that myself so I have well over 70+ shots for the shotgun. I just take about 20-30 at a time to force myself not to rely on it too much.

We almost had it.
It had potential to tops the System Shock games but ended up being just nice tribute.

>>376237782

The pre-order bonus is
Yu family’s heirloom Margrave shotgun

2 Medkits

3 Neuromods you can spend to acquire new abilities

Fabrication plan to create Shotgun Ammo

Starter kit for building tools and weapons

Recycler, a unique upgrade to help you preserve your limited resources.

But you are right, I've been crafting a shitload of ammo.

>>376237678
Yeah, always love the feeling of re-evaluating a place from a new vantage point and noticing all the routes there are. Honestly like the level design way more then airvent central aka Deus Ex HR and MD.

Nightmare difficulty as well. I try not to use everything up at once. The beginning was hell. Using the turrets help...a shit ton.

>>376215104
Saved this myself as well (no, I'm not this guy just samefagging) when I first saw it a couple months ago.

Whoever it was indeed called it.

>>376238708
"Nah" was great, dude.

What's the replayability like?

>>376215104
Man I brushed that off as RPing but he was right.

>>376238638
Nah, I might next run. Doing a pure human tree run.

>>376214956
Boring black goo enemies. The trademark of zero imagination

>>376238638
>>376238991
The worst part of no neuromods/only alien mods is you lose out the basic upgrades as part of the human tree. Having to deal with the default inventory is a hassle.

>>376238708
But SS2 has a nice section in the end with all the meaty space and a boss fight followed by the cyberspace and the shodan fight. Was p bad gameplay-wise but it had a follow up that concluded in a climax.
Prey's ending feels like they started developing the game having no idea how to finish it, and they rushed it up on top of that.

>>376214956

I'll probably pick it up when it's cheaper. It does look interesting and I've heard good things so far.

I just wish they hadn't used the Prey title. It comes with so much unnecessary baggage and put a lot of people off the game on principle.

>>376239080
Yea it is, but its managable. Already made it into Arboretum but I miss my heavily upgraded shotty

>>376238806
Eh, there's multiple endings but I hear they're shit.

The real reason you'll wanna replay is to do a different build from the get-go and foreknowledge of the level design.

>>376239068
Name 3 (3) video games who have cool black goo monsters. I'll wait.

Does anyone get a black screen on launch or know a fix?

>>376238638
I find it stupid that you need neuromods to increase weapon damage.
That should be handled by the weapon upgrade kits alone.

>>376239205
>cool black goo monsters
None. Rather my point

>>376239068
What, I can't even think of any other popular game with black goo enemies except RE7, which came out just before this so it's not like either copied each other. There's that XCOM FPS trailer I guess, still mad that they canned it for the shitty Bureau game we got instead.

>>376239268
Whoever made that design decision is a moron. They could have locked some neat tech behind neuromods, but not the entire weapon upgrade

>>376239393
I thought the only difference between the bureau and xcom was the name?

>>376239192

Ah. I'll wait for a sale then.

top kek, one retard is not "the board"

the boards communal taste is pretty good. /v/ calls most games unplayable shit and in real life most games are unplayable shit. no other website will have a consensus like this

Hey shill. Human Head studio is more recognizable to anyone over 20 than Arkane "We made Dishonored and literally nothing else before that" studio. Arkane "we fell for Zenimax's tricks and sold our souls to them" studios. Arkane "we had to pay for 7s for our shitty 3/10 game" studio.

V4 just got destroyed, Nier and SGW3 are dead. It apparently takes an hour to crack any v4 now.

In the middle of one. I just kind of tell into it.

I'm past psychotronics. I figure if I give in to upgrades, I'll just leave a save as far as I could tolerate and go back to the no mods run later.

Its a pain in the ass - but challenging and fun. There's very little I feel like I CANT do.

Finally got my headgear thing. Though I'm kind of confused on something. It does show me a mimic if it's hiding as something, but I'm not sure what to do with it. I can't goo it, and I'm reluctant to get close to one.

>this fucking ending
sequel bait or are they going to release some DLC

>>376241973
When you shoot or whrench a mimic while it's hiding you get bonus damage. useful on greater mimics.
Also some rooms can get filled with them so sometimes it's worth just tossing a recycling grenade in there.

>>376241974
my money is on sequel

>>376241973

>>376241973
stealth atk for 150% damage or let it decloak, gloo it and use the scope to reserach it

>>376241973
If you actually goo the object a mimic is hiding as it can't jump you.
Can also shock it out of its disguise and it'll be stunned
Shoot it for bonus damage/sneak bonus

Your character gets OP as fuck in end game.
To be fair I'm playing in normal mode, but I can literally kill nightmares in under 10sec.

Nu /v/ hates it because the Prey 2 meme and bethesda hate

True /v/ finds it a passable Shock clone that is lacking in some areas but not an out right bad game

Anon you replied to here. I'm playing on nightmare. I was going no-mods for a lot of the game, but recently specced into mobility because walking is slow and boring.

The issue with the game is that while spaces are intricate they're confined, meaning that encounters are not linked to one another, and play out predictably. The AI is not at all pro-active, so you should always have the initiative, consequently the only danger is being one-hit. Testament to this I haven't used a health pack all game, the few times I have died I've been instakilled.

The fire phantom in the trauma centre was the hardest bit, it was the first place I went, and I didn't realise it would have special powers (just thought it was on fire). Once you know what it is it's easy to kill though, just use a couple of explosive canisters + sneak shotgun and it's dead (two hits + some wrench bashes whilst it's knocked back, sneaking between each shot for the bonuses).

You can never have enough neuromods, I mean this little investment pays for itself within the first few phantom encounters, there's no reason not to take it.

>>376245108
That's just how it went for me, sorry for exploring:

Got into the lobby, killed the phantom in the museum bit with a wrench for the neuromod (want it even if I'm not using them), cleared out the room on the other side and the restrooms. Used a sentry to clear out the mimics near the right hand staircase that leads up to the trauma centre. Trauma centre key is on the bar bit in the middle of the lobby. Went into the corridor for the security room, door locked, jump on the pipes to get in via a vent, get shotgun and ammo there. Went up the RH staircase and you get to the trauma centre on the second floor, easy. I ended up recycling the ornate shotgun as I'd already upgraded the basic one.

>>376239124
The Many bossfight was shit and you know it.

>>376242850
Yes. Grab that and the power that gives you a higher material yield at recyclers as fast as you can. I'm still on my first playthrough and I've cranked out dozens of my own neuromods.

>>376245519
Actually I'm impressed you found a way to get around the general access keycard requirement.

I'm playing on normal, and it's surprisingly challenging at times. At least until you get further into the game and this >>376244339
happens.

who is more autistic, you for replying to him, or me for replying to you

So is there a reason to not take psychic alien powers? ive been avoiding taking any since January hinted there would be consequences. Without them im burning through ammo pretty quickly

>>376246503
Goo + Guns have left me plenty of real ammo.

Ammo is pretty cheap from 5th fabricator.

>>376246503
You have less fun.
I rather get a bad ending instead of restricting myself to play human power only.

wait what? when does this happen?

>>376244215
I have spent an inordinate amount of time reloading to make sure no one dies. That goddamn telepath in the fitness center with 10 meat shields, holy shit

>>376247627
If you use the weird dash psi ability that creates a little shadow clone of yourself

I'm having so much fun setting up elaborate turret kill zones. It reminds me of preparing elaborate arenas for Big Daddy fights, even if it was completely unnecessary

Is there any ending that is completely different?

>>376247421
>don't know basis for its appearance
>hiding in crew quarters under a desk, disguised as a coffee mug forever

I haven't been that scared in a long time. What causes it to appear? With my ammo, I'm pretty sure I can't take it on and win.

>5th fabricator

what do you mean by "5th"?

>>376247981
I did the same, I think he triggers after a certain progression point or if you install 4 alien neuromods

>>376230347

>>376248150
He triggers naturally when you enter Arboretum if you have no alien neuromods installed.

From there on (on human only path) he has random appearances, doesn't actively hunt you unless he spots you but can spawn in the most nasty places (in front of the door you need to use for the main mission, or the elevator, so on).

With alien neuromods I believe that his spawn rate goes up a lot and he actively hunts you.

>>376214956
I'll buy it when it gets cracked and Bethesda removes Denuvo as the result.

>When Arkane has a better and more threatening RE3 nemesis-like enemy then Capcom's latest release

This keeps on getting better and better

This was the worst ending/plot twist I ever fucking saw in a game or movie

Holy shit what were they thinking?

Also what happened to the real Morgan?

Is he/she dead?
Do we get info on what the real morgan did on the ship?

Ok, asked a mate who went almost full typhon mods.

Nightmare spawn rate is way high, he actively hunts you as soon as he spawns (roams the map). If you kill you he has a certain chance to respawn in the same area even if you didn't leave it. So lets say you killed him in Lobby, fuck around in your office and then leave, he might have respawned and he knows where your ass is.
