Prey

>tfw Bethesda keeps trying to push a dead game and won't release any info on TES VI

They are probably trying to act like they have standards after people have been shitting on them for not having any for so long.

>>376593102
They are full of baby rage because they didn't get review copies and had to compete with youtubers for clicks and views.

Sad but it's probably true.

clearly Bethesda didn't make the standard industry bribes you are supposed to make as a AAA studio now.

Too bad, I watched a couple of playthroughs and the game actually seems really damn good.

>>376593309
The save file bug the IGN review is about was fixed before they published the review, meanwhile the PS4 has abysmal input lag.

>If the PC version of Prey hadn’t become completely unplayable from crashes and save-game corruption just as it was hitting its stride, I’d have called it a very good or perhaps even great game. Its strange alternate-history universe, sidequests, hidden threats, and detailed environmental storytelling make Talos I a joy to explore, one that’s well worth slogging through combat that doesn’t feel fresh enough to sustain it throughout a long game. But there’s little so frustrating in a game in which you’ve invested dozens of hours as having your progress wiped out or blocked before the end, and my time with Prey concluded so poorly that I can’t in good conscience recommend you risk hitting the same game-breaking bug I did.

Pretty fucking stupid to score the game like this but at least it's not another god hand situation where they pretend to have played the game past three levels and mercilessly shit on it with no reasonable argument as to why
I think the fucking obvious solution, one a professional website should know to do, is to say "The game is an 8.0 but until these issues are resolved, I give it a 4.0" fucking duh

>>376593102
>Fix to prevent Save games from becoming corrupted. Fix also returns corrupted Save games to uncorrupted state.
So this guy could have simply finished the game on a new patch, but gotta make it look like IGN is actually tough on games sometimes. Why do people bother reading these critic sites?

The game to me is a surprise

I expected it to suck. I got it for cheap as fuck, but ti does suffer from instances where I'm not sure I'm missing something or if I'm experiencing glitches.

Like the Greenhouse. I kill the Telepath, free the 3 employees with Mindjack, but the one girl is still hostile to me. It says to save her, but I knock her out or use Mindjack on her and she gets back up and continues shooting me

It's frustrating, but I still feel like I'm missing something.

I didn't expect anything at all going into the game, but I'm definitely enjoying it so far.

Nothing game breaking, just occasionally frustrating.

they basically said that in the text you just fucking Greentexted, do you need it spelled out for you or something. They literally said they were having a good time even though the bugs were very frustrating.

>finally dead
it was never alive to begin with. gaming "journalism" never had much credibility, and threw whatever it had away in the recent years. anyone taking them seriously is a fucking idiot, especially since the vast majority of their reviews are paid for and made by absolutely incompetent inbreds who can't play games (see DOOM)

>>376593102
I think judging games for game breaking bugs is fair. The dude himself says the game is fun. This is just another reason and example of how reviews are a tool to inform readers, NOT to validate your opinions.

Game is 7/10 for me, I kinda wish it was more linear, or at least had more engaging side missions.

>>376593782
I did stun-gun her

Haven't tried gloo-ing

Wondering If the Telepath needs to be killed first before trying to free her. I'm supposed to talk to her, and I can't talk if she's hostile. Some people are saying that she talks for about 20 seconds that she's mindjacked, then goes right back to being hostile

Bribe giving and taking should be an executable offense. I guaran-fucking-tee you that politics, news, and journalism will straighten out when heads start rolling. Granted, IGN, Polygon, et al. would be dead in the water, but that might actually be a blessing.

>>376593102
What's this? A game reviewer actually reviewing a game properly? That's unheard of.

I had a laugh when reading the comments for that review. People don't seem to understand that if a game ships with game breaking bugs then it deserves the piece of shit score it gets. No game should ship broken, that's what QA is for. It's also magnified by the fact that they refused to release a PC demo in order to find bugs like this and test performance on rigs.

This game is a clusterfuck and the review score nails it.

>>376593997
He didn't take into account the fact that the bug was already patched by the time the review was published.

The only time reviews seem to actually have been paid for in a "gib money for review and positive review" sense that we know of is with Shadows of Mordor. And then only with Youtubers. And they got smacked by the regulation laws for it.

This... not a review. I have no idea what the fuck is IGN doing here.

It's a report on a major bug. And that is fine. The game crashed on the guy which is a serious problem and should be definitely pointed out and potential customers warned, but it's not a review. The guy played if for about an hour and half, loved it, then it crashed on him and that is it. You don't end your review there.

The fuck is going on here? Did they just go completely fucking insane?

Top kek, I'm glad reviewers are finally punishing punlishers for releasing unfinished messes and patching later, but come on. This is an outlet that gave Fallout 4 a fucking 9.5, and I'm pretty sure it's full of game breaking bugs, and if it's not it's still a clearly very unfinished game, much less so than Prey. At least be consistent with your criticisms.

This is a major release, a completely unusual behavior out of the site and clearly a bad idea. It's more than just "we don't care", it's either absolute lack of professionality, or someone is intentionally trying to piss somebody else off or exact some kind of vendeta.
But even that seems unlikely. The review even flat out states that it's not actually a review, that they just ran into a bug and can't get past it, and that they are actually focusing on finishing and reviewing different version of the game.

Which is exactly what I'd expect them to do. But then they fucking add an OFFICIAL SCORE which links into metacritic?
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCKING FUCK is this? It's absurd. It's not even unprofessional, it's nonsense. This is not how you do this job. And they had been in the business for long enough to fucking know that.

Oh man, Prey is getting fucking wrecked in the reviews department for such a high-profile release.

>>376594301
Well yeah he had already written the review. The editor should note that on the article.

Games shouldn't ship with game breaking bugs regardless, but that's just my opinion

A man can dream.

Really enjoying the game, surprised it has such wide dislike. Guess it'll hit a bit of cult status because I have seen peeps enjoying it on 4chan. Only thing that gets it down is the combat is a tad clunky. But it does the immersive-sim shtick where you have so many options with how to deal with situations that it doesn't force combat much. The station and the mystery, all that reality bending stuff, well and truly make up for it.

Easy 8 on a traditional review skill (not videogame industry) but i hear the ending is poor so ill reserve judgement.

>>376594775
It's definetely closer to System Shock and Deus Ex

If your game ships with game breaking bugs then it deserves the low score it gets. There's absolutely no reason for it.

The only thing I dislike about the game is the fucking physics for objects that require the leverage skill. Firstly, you can hardly pick them up or you always drop them if they so much as touch any other object, and then shit like .webm related happens.

Honestly this is utterly unprofessional. Readers wanting an actual review (lol IGN tho) are getting some sob story narrative from some dweeb who couldn't be bothered trying it on a different system or doing a clean re-install.

Deduct marks for instability - but don't throw a temper tantrum and give up. Absolutely pathetic.

Personally I didn't like the game, but other people wanting a well reasoned rundown aren't going to get one.

>>376594881
The bug was patched out very shortly after, and it only affected a small percentage of the population. It absolutely does not deserve a huge point drop because of it, especially because said bug no longer exists.

This is a review for PC, not for the game

Why don't they just like, withhold the score until it's fixed or not and then score it accordingly instead of knowingly dropping something like this just to mess with people?

No, if anything they should be more punishing.

Prey drew the short end of the stick but thems the breaks.

>My experience with Prey on PC started out as a promising dark science-fiction adventure, but after 40 hours in this atmospheric first-person RPG it’s descended into a literally unplayable technical nightmare.

>>376595284
Because it's being sold right now
Also because IGN needs money
Not to mention this is only for PC build, IGN doesn't have a review for the game yet. The dude seems to be okay with the game, but he's frustrated with the save glitch

>>376594652
How retarded. I know QA should be much more vigorous to avoid this shit, but to literally brand a game as dogshit (and yes, a 4 from IGN is basically calling it dogshit since they give every fucking game a 7.5 minimum) because of a bug that is fucking fixed and therefore will not affect the people reading your review is baffling. He must have been so salty when it happened.

If ALL reviewers started holding games to this standard, I'd be happy, because we'd stop seeing half finished games get released and fixed within the first few weeks, but that'll never happen. And since this very guy who came down so hard on Prey literally hailed FO4 as a masterpiece, well, we know what his opinion is worth. It's possible a good game that was properly QA'd could be released with a game breaking bug, it just happens sometimes, but games like FO4 and Skyrim are undeniably unfinished.

>>376595284
Because Bethesda didn't give them early review copies and they're incredibly triggered they had to compete against more competent players and reviewers on Youtube.

>>376595502
I wouldn't expect Bethesda to fix it. New Vegas never got a fix for it's fucked up save system.

>>376595502
Maybe he should have installed the patch that came out the same day that fixes the bug and renders all corrupted saves playable.

Or not. This clickbait score is much more profitable.

>game is good but i experienced crashes
This is why scoring systems are a fucking joke.

>>376595502
It corrupted and he restarted from the other save, which was 5 hours before. Then it started crashing. He asked Arkane for a new save, they gave it to him, but it went corrupt as well. Then he gave up.

>>376595263

It hides behind a platform review, but almost the entire article is him talking about "muh atmosphere" and mechanics... like a normal game review. He arseblasted a game with a 4 (below average) but the only justification he gave was instability that was mentioned for only a few lines. Pathetic.

And it's a garbage port report.

>>376595176

This. He considered the game an 8, she should have knocked it down to a 7, and mentioned that he came across a game breaking bug, and to wait for it to get patched before buying. This is the point of reviews. Coming down so hard on one aspect of an otherwise good game is just nuts. I get it fucked his experience up, but he's supposed to review the whole game in an unbiased manner.

>>376595502
This was on PC right? The game gives you ability to make 20 save files. He played the entire game on 1 save file? Kinda stupid for not saving a couple of times more.

I am personally defending a game which is actually pretty good, calling out the hypocrisy by them giving Andromeda/Fallout 4 a better score AND the fact this particular bug had a fix before the review was made.

Seriously, I learnt fucking nothing from the review about the bugs. Read it, it's just about mechanics, atmosphere and setting.

Bethesda for some reason didn't start up the AAA marketing behemoth for Prey, so the people at IGN probably got pissy that they didn't get their usual bribes for a new AAA release and decided to send Bethesda a message to show them what happens if you release a game and not buy the journos.

It's the only explanation, because Prey is fairly fun and even objectively at least a strong 7/10, no debate. I feel bad for Arkane. This game's my contender for GotY so far and I really doubt there'll be a better release, on PC at least.

I'm loving the amount of player agency and the fact that despite me hoarding everything like crazy, I can occasionally still find myself low on certain supplies on Normal, which is something Resident Evil 7 has miserably failed at.

I love the fresh experience of being on my guard vs. mimics, but it's kind of retarded how they throw the mimic detection mod at you as the very first helmet implant. Kind of redundant to come up with a brand new gameplay element in a shooter and promptly remove it's impact early on.

>>376596080
The game shipped with a bug that literally corrupts your save files. How the fuck can you defend this shit?

The game really loses its tension after 4 hours. The nightmare is supposed to be an unstoppable beast but you can just shotgun him to death in 7 shots with combat focus.

Unlike you, I don't bash or praise games I haven't played. And unlike IGN, I wouldn't destroy a game's score just because I had a game breaking bug after 40 hours.

The only time I had a corrupted save from alt-tabbing while saving, I loaded the previous one which was barely a minute before.

>>376596220
Arkane sent him another save file and it also got corrupted. How much more do you want? He should have gave it a 0/10 because it was unplayable for him.

This Metacritic bribing has to stop. I truly feel sorry for Arkane. They get bonuses depending on metacritic scores.

>>376596004
Game has a negative status called "Fear" which makes your crosshair go all over the place.

>>376596141
It is shit, but it is a bug that isn't that common.

Common enough to make a fix, sure, but not common.

Also, it's mostly me dumbfounded that the same reviewer, the exact same one, gave Fallout 4 a 9.5, one with WORSE bugs. He said that this game was to be an 8/10 before he encountered the bug. Now, if he held every game in the same standard, shouldn't Fallout 4 be treated the same?

Ok, so for the third time now, I've turned around, only to see something that looks like a recycler charge float towards me slowly until it disappears under my feet. It's so fucking trippy, has anyone else experienced this? Given the themes of this game, I can't even tell if it's a bug...

>>376596236
Most but not all. A few, like mimic detection I, are fixed. Its kind of a tradeoff though with the psychoscope since having it one kills your peripheral vision, makes what you can see darker, and makes it harder to hear things like a phantom clomping around the corner.

A fucking explanation, not a short paragraph that told us almost nothing.

I do appreciate that they reached out to Arkane, but did they alter user settings at all; try reinstalling on another PC; try verifying integrity of game cache in steam?

A bug encountered by a fraction of players, that was already fixed, that retroactively fixed corrupted files, that was patched BEFORE the review was published.

If they didn't fix this weeks after release he would have a point, but this stuff can slip past Q&A with how few players encountered it.

There is no excuse for shitting on a game like this when the problem has already been resolved.

No games are 100% perfect in terms of QA though.

There is always at least one bug that goes under the rader.

This one has only affected a small portion of players, and it was fixed with a patch that went up before the review or use of a different machine fixed it.

>>376593102
This is the last straw for me boys, I cant care about game politics anymore. Maybe I never truly realized how monetized the gaming world is until seeing this. The hypocrasy is unnerving, I feel lile I'm reading some kimd of propaganda. A game that didnt send out review copies magically gets called out on the major flaw we have seen time and time again on 90% of big name releases specifically for the reason of them not bending to these children that supposedly judge the quality of games.
It didnt used to be like this, I believe there used to be a bond between creator and player but its dead.
Im out, it makes me angry and stupid shit like this shouldn't.

Played through Prey twice because I wanted to like it enough to give it another shot, here.

It's not 4.0 bad, but it's certainly not the SLEEPER HIT (NEW HALF-LIFE?) Some places are pushing.

I'm a big generous with my ratings, I'd give it a 7.5 I think, honestly. Great ideas, mediocre execution. It's... Just boring. It starts out interesting and spooky with the opening twist and the sense of helplessness as you have no way to detect mimics and phantoms overpower you, but as soon as you really level up your character the game becomes
>mash ability to win
>backtrack for days to finish sidequests

T. Played all three Bioshocks, Dishonored, and System Shock 2

Yeah, Prey is such a weird experience. I'm loving every minute of it, and I'm the kind of person who never would have thought I'd ever buy a Bethesda game again, let alone full price.

But then I take a break and come here to see jaded /v/irgins thinking it's just another run of the mill, shitty AAA game, like they know what they're talking about.

I worry, because this is a chance for Bethesda to fix up their approach in this industry, but if Prey tanks, we'll just go back to more Fallout 4 and Skyrim.

>>376593102
He's lying about 40 hours. There's no fucking way he has 40 hours in it.

I have 22 hours in it and completed the game twice, the first run took me 12 hours to explore about 90% of the ship and the 2nd run 10 hours by using no mods and somewhat speeding through the maps.

I call bullshit. Even with the save game bug he should have been able to finish 1 run in at least 12 hours.

>>376596851
>His bug shouldn't determine the score

Do you even read the absolute shit you type? He's a reviewer, if he gets a game that corrupts his save files then he has every right to call them out on it.

Fuck Prey. They launch a buggy game and say they cancelled Prey 2 because it wasn't up to quality standard.

This is about game breaking bugs. I have only experience one game out of 20 years of gaming that had game-breaking bugs to the point where it was unplayable. It was Risen.

Not even Fallout 4 had game breaking bugs for me.

This is my main issue. The arguments against Fallout 4's stability at launch were endless.

It's not about the difficulty. (On Normal, anyways.) It's more about the player agency and emergent gameplay. It lends itself well to immersion. If you're the type of person who plays games to win and has 2000 hours logged in CS:GO, there's probably not much worth for you in Prey.

New Prey has better gameplay than any immersive sim from past ten years except maybe for STALKER. It's a fact. E.Y.E. was buggy as fuck and NuDX, BioShock and Dishonored - all have zero difficulty.

Remember the beignning when they talk about "today's testing" like you've done it multiple times? its either that or...the fact that the entire game is a simulation because the real M. Yu is dead and you're a typhon being injected with the memories from his neuromods.

>>376597906
Zenimax/Bethesda are dicks and new Prey should be called different, true.

That doesn't mean it's a bad game, hon.

>>376597851
Well, that's what I thought too, but it's the first time he's mentioned it and it was so out of the blue. It was just weird. I assume the ending has to do with Morgan not being Morgan as the flashes from before are to indicate.

My theory:
-They knew they couldn't enable mirrors for consoles, so if they'd code them in, it'd only be for PC.
-If they had mirrors, they're the kind of design team that'd combine mirrors and mimics for cool experiences.
-But then consoles would miss out.
-Easier to just not code them in, wouldn't wanna go there.

I wish this place would just word filter 'shill' to 'I have no actual constructive arguments or criticisms about games themselves'

Calling anyone who disagrees with you a shill has probably done more to erode actual games discussion on this board than anything else

>>376593102
IGN was always maximally overrating all western games. seems like they just have stopped it for now.

that score is pretty decent, actually

>>376597783
I played Bioshock and Bioshock 2 on the hardest difficulties available for each fairly recently and they're still more difficult than this

I've died twice on my second run here, first was a fairly honest death although I had an annoying wanker in teamspeak screeching in my ear and my focus probably wasn't all that there and the second was me blundering into an electricity trap that has a habit of instantly killing you if you haven't healed up to full.

Dishonored is admittedly completely trivial but I like the setting and exploration a LOT in it, and the way the narrative can change entirely depending on whether you kill and whether you're seen period is so nice.

prey is a solid 7/10. Wouldve been an 8 if not for that weak ass ending
>oh shit morgan. The colosal alien fuck is attacking

>>376597439
I thought the same exact thing, but in practice, mimics lent a very fresh experience to the game that I haven't really felt before in vidya. Mimics are just agitating enough to slow your progress down and keep you alert.

>>376593309
Not really a good experience on other platforms either. The PS4 version has horrendous input lag and this bug was already fixed.

It's a good thing. And this is coming from someone, who's enjoying Prey.

System Shock, Thief and Deus Ex - all of them was not only good games, but original and groundbreaking at the same time.

BioShock, Dishonored, new Prey, etc. - they all fell detriviative and too damn casual. Prey is arguably a better game than BioShock and Dishonored, but it's still baby's first System Shock. We already played this game in 1994 and again in 1999 and it's retarded brother in 2007 and it's less retarded bother in 2010. Well, at least, it's not Thief with no shadows and teleport.

>>376593102
LOL they really gave it 4

Arkham fucking Knight worked like absolute TRASH on PC and guess what score it got.

This is it. We're never going to get any more 90s insipired immersive sims. It's nothing but corridor shooters and cinematic experiences from here on out.

Yeah, and lets also ignore the fact that Human Head never made a good game, and lets also ignore the fact that they never made an open world game either. And Lets ignore the fact that /v/ almost universially shits on open world games. And lastly, let's forget that the only footage we ever saw was a hyper-polished and choreographed E3 vertical-slice demo made just to impress simpletons like you, that the game had no chance of living up to.

>Also we made fucking System Shock again but this time you can turn into a towel !!!

I doubt you've actually ever played a Looking Glass/Ion Storm/Origin game, but if you did you'd realize that games like this are extremely few and far between, and that this was a treat.

Just like Prey, these games has nothing to do with the originals. While I do believe NuPrey and NuDoom are alright games on their own, NeuWulf is just a boring ass HL2 wannabe with god awful hitscan enemies and boring as fuck exposition parts.

I've been sperging about this in various threads recently, including this one, but ToRtanic was what killed /v/.

Before ToRtanic, /v/ was skeptical of new games, but there was always discussion to be had. Now, after ToRtanic, literally every game is torn down and attempted to be made into the next "LE BLUNDER OF LE CENTURY XD XD XD." Even shit like Zelda and Persona 5 weren't safe.

Now every thread about every game is people calling each other shill, people who haven't played the game shit-posting, and people posting out of context .webms of bad looking moments and glitches.

I think I know what you're talking about.
You're probably looking at a super cheap solution of simulating a mirror effect. Taking a snapshot of a room and projecting that image onto a mirror surface. There's probably several other mirrors in Talos 1 Lobby that project this same image. Saves system or video memory and such.

In case of Prey it's hardly a great achievement. And art-direction was better in the original. In new Prey it's literally BioShock in space. Art Nouveau, my ass.

So hows the game?

Nah, I just think casual newfags kept coming to /v/ and, being the retards that they are, got the impression that /v/ just hates everything, since shitty games like Skyrim WAS everything to casuals at the time. Now they have it in their head that they're "old-guard" like the /v/irgins before them and they are supposed to hate everything that's popular. They couldn't make a good game if they were given a billion dollars for that express purpose. They just think anything that has some popularity is bound to be shit because they are baseless non-conformists.

You're a fucking retard. Are you actually a teen or something? You legitimately don't know what Art Noveau is and Prey, the original, had a terrible art style.

They've also given Alien: Isolation low score because Destiny-bro considered it too hard.

They are as relevant as my local newspaper.

On the other hand, I've heard signals that game has strong PC gameplay and is not console port. Maybe that's the issue?

>>376596687
From the review it doesn't seem that he would rate it 6. If he would rate it 6 then I have no idea what made him rate the game this way

>every bugging out model in game is actually a mimic
I don't know if it was sudden inspiration or not, but so far that's been the case for me.

>Coffee cup randomly jumping around and falling through textures? Mimic.
>Half-stuck in a table office chair? Mimic.
>Slowly rotating on its own axis computer terminal? That's a mimic.

I think if you replace all broken models in every bethesda game with mimics, the experience will become better.

For crafting neuromods?
I know, some people say the necropsy skill is useless since you'll have more than enough exotic materials anyway, but this wasn't true for me. I got the skill late-game since I did NOT have enough exotic mats for crafting neuromods.

Prey looked like Doom, with the exception of stuff happening in the magic land of native Americans. The only good looking area too.

literally just loot every fuckier you kill and you'll be fine, there's loot too

Unfortunately this is my case too. The game itself is awesome and I felt like back in System Shock again.

Sad that first my saves broke (after like 20 hours of play... really hurts) and now the game crashes every time I enter Talos Exterior.

Wait so this isn't an extension of the first Prey game universe?

>>376594401
Prey tries too hard emulating 90's System Shock concept and it gets bored really quickly with the lack of enemy varieties and weapons, you're a fucking moron if you compare this to the God Hand review I'd rather play the unfinished Prey 2 than this garbage

I've been playing for ~30+ hours and have had no problems other than 1 death loop. But I guess you can even get a job with anecdotal blog posts now eh.

>>376599892
but that's been fixed and supposedly you can access your broken save in the new patch

I DID loot everything, and still had more of the non-exotic materials required for neuromods than exotic material without the necropsy skill. That's why I decided to spend the points on it. Gotta say that I by now crafted >40 neuromods though.

I would put money down that QA caught the bug, but the game had to meet a date, and the higher-ups evaluated the situation and figured they'd get it in a day 1 patch.

Most of the time when you see bugs like this, it has nothing to do with QA and everything to do with business decisions.
