Prey Thread

This is cool, but only if the game never tells you it's possible.

Actually GOTY, prove me wrong

I don’t think it’s mentioned in the gun’s tutorial, but you find email logs between the guys who designed the dart gun as an office prank. One guy mentions he added “capacitive tips” to the darts so they can shoot each others’ computers in the cubicles.

>>376324123
That's fine. As long as you're not forced to find out about this. Based Avellone worked on this game, so I'm kind of interested in it.

>>376324260
It’s pretty great so far, but I’m less than 10 hours in.

The issues with PC optimization that plagued Dishonored 2 aren’t present here, for anyone interested. I can get a solid 50 fps out of Dishonored at 1920x1080 and medium settings.
I’m getting a solid 120-150 on Prey with every setting maxed out.

I had some crashing issues, but disabling VSync seemed to fix them.

>>376324570
What GPU/CPU combo are you running?

>>376324123
Holy shit. I'm 12 hours into the game, and have gotten the gun and read the emails. But I have never thought to use it for this, I've only used it as a distraction tool.

So far you don't need to know you can do this to get through the main plot, but it helps with several parts if you figure it out and it's one of two ways to get through a few optional objectives.

For someone who had ~0 interest when it was announced, I've been enjoying it. It's still got some issues in PC though, and given that it's Arkane I'm wary that they'll every be fixed ...

as a fan of bioshock and system shock, the game looks pretty cool
HOWEVER why the fuck does it have damage numbers that pop up? this trend needs to fucking stop ASAP before it stards spreading.

It’s pretty well-written so far.

Some of the dialogue seems very… deliberate? But the plot and setting kind of justifies it. I think it’ll be like Sixth Sense; you’ll learn something over the course of the game that puts everything in a new context for repeat playthroughs.

Do you know if Avellone wrote for Kreia? I know he worked for Obsidian…

>>376323549
is this Dishonored with guns

do I get to be sneaky

>>376325358
You can turn those off in settings. I find it useful to check things like damage falloff, and how much benefit you get from sneak attacks, elemental bonuses, etc.

>Dishonored with guns

Well, dishonored had guns already.

But yeah, the UI is extremely similar, and the movement system is almost exactly the same (sliding, mounting, climbing, etc). It even does that thing where you’ll crouch low enough to get under cover if you push up against a table while sneaking.

There’s a stealth system, with enemy awareness indicators, stealth attack bonuses, a mod system much like bone charms (getting health from sneak attacking is my favorite), and a morality system based on whether you kill or free corrupted humans. You also unlock supernatural powers at one point. One of them is extremely fun from a stealth perspective.

Feels a lot like Dishonored, come to think of it.

Bioshock was already just underwater System Shock with less RPG mechanics. It's closer to Bioshock in space than System Shock though, you don't really have stats and skills and stuff.

I’d say it’s similar to 3 games in different ways

System Shock 2

BioShock
>Level design
>Aesthetic

Dishonored

>movement mechanics
>passive upgrades
>supernatural powers

>>376326492
>you don't really have stats and skills and stuff.
You’re either lying or haven’t played it. It has the same sort of stats/skills layout as System Shock (Repair 1/2/3, Hacking 1/2/3/4, Standard weapons 1/2/3, Exotic Weapons 1/2/3)
Just replace Neuromods with Cybernetic Modules, and PSI with… PSI, and it’s pretty much identical

>>376326443
It’s the security office, bro. It would be completely against the point if people could just break in. Same reason there are bars on convenience store windows.

>>376326196
That’d be so neat if they implemented NG+, and all the scientists’ reactions change if you actually pull off the tests (mimicking the chair, etc)

The second two webbums in the thread are mine, and both were done with Fraps. That's a strange glitch. Might have something to do with Vsync, or your FPS settings in Fraps.

It's a security booth, anon. There are bars to prevent you from doing that.
See >>376326545

This is before you can get Mimic. But it is a great strategy to get in confined spaces. I like to keep something in my inventory at all times to bypass small gaps.

>>376327914
There are very few gimmicks. Yes, it's good.

>>376327582
Yeah, off the top of my head, I can think of several upgrades that would suit a pure melee build
>Full athleticism upgrade (high jumps, fast running, fast climbing)
>Max Stamina
>Combat focus (slow down time, remove all stamina penalties, increase damage)
>Full Stealth run (Sprinting makes no noise)
>Max sneak attack damage
>Max wrench damage

You also get a jetpack that lets you slow/direct your falls in normal gravity. Could save you from the risks of full speed gameplay

> Moving heavy objects requiring Leverage 3 out of the way by making a gas cylinder explode near them.

That's what I like about Immersive Sim, things that should realistically work generally work and are not restricted in a gamey way.

>>376328878
You can also drop a recycler charge next to the Lev 3 objects and just black hole them.

Has anyone done a full playthrough without using any neuromods?

Just got to the Yu's office. No reason to save any items right? Safe to recycle everything? What skills are worth going for first?

>>376329149
>No reason to save any items right? Safe to recycle everything?
I mean, you should hold on to your weapons, ammo, and health stuff. But if its junk (grey material with no other use), then recycle away.

>What skills are worth going for first?
I like to get the baseline hack and repair skills. The skill that lets you extract better organs from the Typhon is nice, since they’re your primary source of Exotic materials. Very useful when you get the blueprint to make neuromods

>>376329149

Sorta worked, thanks!

>>376330731
Because most "gamers" today are autistics children and don't look up because they are feed with halo level design everyday.

So making the crosshair lower helps player see the world as a 3D space and not only a corridor.

>>376330731
Because the game has high ceilings and pretty environments and they didn't want players staring at the ground the entire time

Same reason Halo does it

>>376329097
It's going to be my next, doing typhon only one now. Which is kinda close to no powers mode, since everything quality of life is in the human neuromods, jumping, repairs and some damage resistance, no to mention inventory space.

This also means some of the places are closed off to you completely, and in some cases you'll have to find some parts in separate areas, since you can't repair shit. Oh, and no upgraded guns either.

At least you can recycle the fuck out of everything.

>>376331025
Ironically Halo does the same thing for the same reason

What do they mean by security weapons and non security weapons? I don't get this lab perk.

You can make it as slow or as fast as you want. I like to play it as a stealth game.
Or you can just max out movement speed and gun skills and play like pic related.

No, they're all the same every time.

Treasure hunt code is 3615 btw

If Prey is a corridor shooter, so is System Shock 2. Only to a greater extent though.

It's a game about exploring a space station. Between squeezing yourself into every nook and cranny you can find, you do things like:

¬fly around outside of the station in your jetpack
¬recycle everything that isn't bolted to the floor like a hardcore environmentalist
¬complete sidequests that flesh out some of the other survivors, as well as giving you new toys and bonuses
¬shoot Ayys
¬scan Ayys so you can acquire their powers for yourself

thats sort of a problem with this game. you often come upon areas you cant go in yet, whether it be lack of code, keycard, or powers. and by the time you CAN go back and do it, you already forgot. wish you could mark your map for later, like in breath of the wild. cant keep track of all these tiny rooms, safes, and computer terminals that i left behind.

>>376332663

The safe near the psychology tests. It's a lvl1 or lvl 2 hack, so you probably just hacked it.

>The safe near the psychology tests
what tests? like at the start of the game when you have to do what science man tells you, like answer the railroad questions? i dont recall a safe there.

At the trauma center. There's a room where you can do the test for the secret safe and there's a room where you get the decryption key.

>>376323549
This seems like the gun equivalent of 10 foot long pole.

>>376334250
It is. Which is fun.

The darts it fires are also physics objects, so you can knock small objects around like coffee mugs.

They also squeak when they hit things, making the nerf gun one of the best tools in the game for stealth.

I'm 100% sure that Arkane was working on a new IP, aka this game when Bethesda acquired the rights for Prey and because Bethesda is a retarded company they thought that Arkane's new IP wouldn't sell well.

>>376327582
Do the neuromod upgrades that increase wrench damage

Stun enemies with GLOO or the stun gun or EMP first to do more damage

Any debuff you can do on an enemy also makes them recieve more damage

>>376329050
that's what i've been doing, it's cool as phuck

I was so close to not taking any ayyyy powers, but I wanted Regeneration so bad.

>>376327417
The level design is way more complex than Bioshock so far, at least to me, there's a lot more paths to get around through

System Shock 2 also had supernatural powers (Psi) and mantling so not all of it is from Dishonored

System Shock 2 also had researching but it was done in a different way

There's no contrived ending based on your stealth, you don't need to stealth if you don't want to but there are stealth mechanics in the game

You do more damage on enemies unaware of you, and often it's handy to get through an area without fighting at all

>>376347395
Well the story advances only when doing the main sidequest, so you've plenty of time to fuck around.

I was replaying the game with a no neruomod run and i found this audio log about project were they would add human elements via neuromod to see if they could make a typhon empathize and shit like that. They said in theory they could do it but they would have to send them through a simulation or an experience. That was a great way to foreshadow the ending desu. Only wish i found it in my first playthrough.

Considering half the tension in SS1&2 came from the real posibilty getting buttfucked while in the menus or inventory, id say this is a step down. Not a bad game by any stretch but there is a point where Prey becomes less of survival horror and more straightforward corridor shooter.

Gigantic space station running dark, bigger than Talos. Even if it was all a simulation I assume the events in the game actually happened.

>So what are some non shitposts about why this game is bad?
There's none? It's a competent game, with lots of room for imaginative gameplay.

Ending is kinda crumpled, but whatever, it's a sequel bait and probably Bethesda rushed them to release it or something.

>>376351472
Cool shit, maybe the Soviets did their own station or something similar. We already know that Neuromod tech leaked a lot, maybe there's a competition.

If anything, setting a sequel on Earth would be kind of a waste, since a spacestation is a cooler environment.

Anon, when you can bind over 20 weapons, gadgets and powers to your hotbar, it is very useful to have a way of sorting through them quickly without.

Please, tell me another system that allows me to keep my hands on my mouse and WASD while sorting through over 20 options quickly without breaking the flow by entering a menu.

As it stands, a weapon wheel is just
>hold down button
>move mouse in a direction
>release button

Practice with it and it becomes a quick flick. This is a good system.

>>376351961
Yes, but the Soviets built the majority of the station before Talos bought it up and expanded it. You can see it by looking at all the core structure of the station which have Russian writing all over them, such as in life support and psychotronics.

No.
Fuck dude, I'm playing on nightmare difficulty getting hacking skills, repair skills, necropsy (and that means not sneaking past any motherfucker but killing them instead), extra recycle worth, etc. Even nightmares are piss easy without a single typhon or combat skill.

>>376326965
No, just like I still laugh at Nier Automata.

I can't decide which alien skills to go with

i've already got the mimic skill and backlash but that's it

i dont know which offensive skills to take or go into, they all seem useful

don't worry, there's enough reason to do another playthrough or two

>>376353667
no, it actually said when I left the Area the game said that I was supposed to take him to the aboratorium's medbay
I stun gunned him, game didn't tell me anythign else so I tossed him in the bunker with alex and the only save I had from before I closed the door and locked myself out of it was from 6 hours because I spent too long fucking about trying to scan shit before leaving the area ago

I have mixed feelings about the crafting system.
On one side, it's a neat way to promote hoarding random garbage and I like the shiny cubes, but at the same time, it feels excessively simplified.
Your opinion?

>>376354097
he was in the abboratorium trying to open the bunker door to kill Alex,
I guess it may be because I hacked his special snowflake operator instead of destroying it or something, but thats where he was

>>376351330
Doesn't have anime waifus. 0/10 western devs cant compete.

so given the post credits scene, did morgan canonically use the null wave transmitter to eradicate all the typhon from the station, but that in turn sent a sort of 'beacon' to other typhon to come attack talos 1 again and then earth ala what january warned about? january seemed so convinced that destruction of the station wouldn't send any signals to other alien life but there's no definitive answer to that being the case either.

>>376354465
Did you kill all the people in the cargo bay?

>>376354336
For me, it's just right.
Not too deep, not to shallow.
There's stuff to craft, there's different recipes, and different ways of obtaining the crafting materials that flow naturally with the gameplay.

I don't have to go far out of my way to get shit I need, but it also doesn't just happen by itself.
Same with carfting blueprints. I'm glad my exploration of side areas rewarded me with the neuromod blueprint super early on.
It's perfect.

I feel the same way about the number of possible activities in the world too. Not to little, not too many. It's just right, in this nice sweet spot of there being things to look out for and go pursue, but not too many things so that it's overwhelming and that you end up ALWAYS finding things whether you're looking or not.

I just got back from Deep Storage the second time and exiting the airlock crashes the game, as does every other loading screen door that leads away from the area.

Can't figure out what the fuck to do.

>>376354575
When he tried to kill the people in Cargo, I saved them by hacking his operator and it turned the life support and shit back on
I never even had to go back to life support after the first time when alex locks you out of the station

>>376353205
you know, there is a difference between "pc game ported to console" and "console game ported to pc"

>>376354771
He was in life support for me when he took people hostage. I had to go there first and incapacitate him and then go to the operator.

Pretty cool huh, maybe he actually moves through the station.

>>376354606
Same here. We have to wait for a patch

>>376354923
Oh please be a joke fucking ARRKKKAANNEEEEEEEEEE

It straight-up tells you on the tutorial screen for it.

>>376353667
if he was playing moralfag he probably had a dozen audio logs trigger here. It's possible he got to the exit before the important one played.

>just entered the crew quarters area in my no mod run
>Right in front of me is the fucking nightmare.

The game had a few funny moments that I liked
suck as that room where someone put sticky notes on literally everything saying "not a mimic"

Is it more like bioshock or system shock gameplaywise

>>376323549
TECHNOLOGY

>>376354097
Dahl is bluffing, kinda: if you go take out the tech officer like you were going to, it fixes the air since no one is hacking it anymore. If you do things this way, he then tries to break into Alex's safe room out of desperation, so when you taze him you have to drag him past tendrils and broken electrical panels to the nearest medbay.

>>376351330
Piss filter, console controls that cant be rebound without restarting the game, broken crafting system, and not exactly survival horror.

I would consider everything but the latter point to be mostly nitpicking though.

>>376355613
The former. The original and not the sequel and certainly leagues ahead of Infinite.

>>376327489
What the fuck kind of shitty argument even is this?

>>376355613
I'd say a bit more like system shock.

Second play through using only alien mods seems to be actually challenging compared to how piss easy my human mod run was. Does it get easier when i get more powers? This lack of inventory is killing me.

>looking for danielle voice samples
>go to the bar
>go to get it off the computer but the song starts blaring and a bunch of typhons show up

music made for a fun fight

>>376356806
There's no universal cool down on powers so just grab lots of them as you find mods and max out Psi asap.

>>376356806
Why are people doing only one or the other? Is it just for the achievement?

It's okay that I'm doing hybrid for my first play, right?

So if you have subtitles on you can read what the Phantoms are saying to each other or themselves, whatever.

(rough memory)
"I used to wish we weren't alone in the universe"
"They want to live inside us, like a disease"
"Even when we're dead it's not over"

Two things are weird about this.
1. January tells you they have no language, this conflict of information is never addressed as far as I'm aware.

And the far more interesting one
2. When you get to the cargo bay and meet up with security, Rose says ALL these lines of dialogue to you, word for word, with added context.

The fuck is that. My only theory is The simulation has problems, and this is a glitch in that. But this is never brought up in a way that implies it would do this, so it's just a rationalization I had to come up with myself. Did I miss something? Are either of these things addressed and I just somehow missed them?

Not by a lot, you can do some solid damage with your abilities, by tiny inventory and basically no health leave you really hurting.

>>376357013
if anything it's better because you can hack turrets to not fuck your day up

The fuck is a reployer?

Why do them exist outisde the simulation?

>>376340908
How much did you enjoy bioshock in terms of spookyness

holy fuck drinking fountains give 40 psi after you do the injector mission

idk what easy or normal are like, but nightmare doesn't seem to lack resources

>>376346692
>>376342436

How scary compared to Bioshock 1? I can't play anything and really enjoy it if it's actively trying to scare me because it kinda feels like a chore.

>>376357946
tutorial area is scary, and then a handful of jumpscare moments after that.

once you start getting equipment and upgrades the game stops feeling spooky.

all ive learned from these threads is /v/ never played system shock

Installing psi emitter in the water system and going full pyroblast feels almost like cheating.
I should probably try 'human-only' run next.

>>376358546
Considering how dated the first one is it's no suprise.

>>376358546
I played ss2 and a small amount of ss1 where i got fucked up and was sorta fed up with the controls

>play on nightmare
>mostly skipping over everything because it's easier

this is Dishonored level of shit design where you can avoid everything because they make it so obvious how to do it.

>>376358969
>where can you avoid everything
I don't really understand how it's a bad thing though.
Game doesn't exactly force you into stealth by having some consequences, so it's really up to you.

>>376358619
Fully decked out human rips and tears through everything. I became an unstoppable death machine. I can't even imagine how easy the game is if you somehow max both trees.

should i keep all these tracking bracelets?

>>376359393
there's no need. just recycle them.

>>376357216
looking back on the game i see a lot of shit that means the simulation might be buggy as hell or the typhon hive mind is trying to keep its influence over you.

thats what i like about the ending, personally. it wasn't done very well but it re-contextualizes a lot of stuff and makes you go "huh? wait a fucking minute..."

>>376359124
It's really tempting, but I still invested most of the stuff in psycho shit, repairs and hacking.
Gonna be fun.

>>376359393
tracking bracelet jsut shows you that the owner is not trackable via the thing.

>>376359107

I don't feel like i'm being challenged by stealthing through the game as much as i'm feel like i'm just taking advantage of the games shit AI and pathing.

How the fuck do you open that door in the IT room?
I feel like I'm already in the last third after dealing with cook and going on the scan mission by Alex, so I thought I'd get it by now.

>>376359935
I just googled it and reddit said it's inaccessible and the people in it teleport in some other quest.

"In this room there are 4 humans that are tied to the Showing Initiative quest and is only activated once you become a psychopath killing everyone you meet except for Dr. Igwe until Dahl’s arrival.

Once you start this quest the 4 people in this room will spawn alive in life support. Seems a cheap way of keeping them hidden until the quest is activated. "

I managed to get "meet all the people" achievement without ever cracking that door.
