Bad sound mixing. Seems to be a trend with Arkane since Dishonored 2 had a similar problem.

Fantastic game though. Loved it.

The title

Needed a different title. I wanted to look up shit for Prey 2006 and got 2017 instead.

Beta patch says it has adjustments to audio mixing

short
boring
repetitive

the one thing not terrible about this game is how well it runs even on potato PCs

No enemy variety.

No weapon variety. Weapons sound and feel like peashooters.

Shit ending.

Areas are short, boring, and generic. Only area that looks unique is Arboretum.

Abilities are bland and boring.

Different sensitivities for sprinting, and anti grav sections

>>376649315
Westcuck shit

>>376649315
Barely any guns. Only 7 guns and only 2 of them are ballistic. I'm not asking for a shooter like Cod but at least a assault rifle would've been nice.

People aren't buying it on pc despite being fantastic so we will likely never get another. Life is too cruel.

>>376649554
The name didn't even bother me that much, but they could've avoided so much shit press and confusing bullshit by just naming it NeuroShock or PsychoShock or something that's not quite as derivative as that. Would've fit the game better too; "Prey" says very little about it and doesn't fit with its themes. We're not prey for the Typhon, we're nothing, they don't "see" humans as anything but matter.

>>376649315

I liked the lack of assault rifles or anything heavier; you're on a space station after all. Several NPCs comment on how shit their guns are, but that there's a good reason for it.

>>376649868
What function would it serve that the Q beam does not?

The later third of the game starts to feel like a drag.
There isn't much of npc interaction.
There are no factions in this game besides one setpiece of people against aliens.

and you can't even exit a hack once you started

who's goddamn idea was that?

Other than that I'm 9 hours in and enjoying myself a lot.

Fuck Dahls operators
thanks to those fuckers I spent literally the entire end of the game at zero armour because they just eat through it and your health like a fat guy with a stick of butter
and it didn't help that I ran out of ammo for the stun gun as well so I had to sprint past/wrench them to death while chugging as much healing stuff as I could find

I never really used the q-beam desu. Took up too much space. There are 2 ballistic weapons in the game and only the shotgun is useful. The pistol feels like a peashooter and isn't all that useful besides sneak attacks. I just want something that has a little more punch besides the shotgun. Maybe me not using the beam is why i fell sorta miffed about the weapon selection.

Q beam is good for medium to long range. Same role an assault rifle would serve and its the most effective way of killing the meaty enemies like the Nightmare, giant eyeballs and weavers.

The beam is the best weapon in the game. Get the upgrade perk and upgrade it and never look back.

>>376650503
A maximum upgraded pistol (even better if you grab Captain Marks' golden pistol that has higher damage) does pretty fucking well. Good range, good rate-of-fire. Couple that with the Stealth bonus damage and bonus to sneaking + the Pistol Crit Psychoscope chip and you do so much fucking damage.

Story is shit and starts to drag towards the end, Dahl is way too annoying for how little a role he and his operators play in the story, if he showed up with an actual crew and added a new dynamic before trying to kill everyone it would have been worth having a cleanup crew.

The space segments are cool as fuck until enemies get involved, especially since 99% of the time you end up dealing with obnoxious crystoid nests and FUCK technopaths in space.

The types of phantoms would be much better if they behaved differently, as it stands, for everything but the poltergeist you can treat them the exact same way you've been treating everything else.

Also sound mixing was done by a literal retard

Narrative isn't exactly strong
Everyone can call you, you can't call anyone
A bit too easy, the neuromod fabrication plan should have been something really hidden away
Lack of enemy variety, there should have been robotic enemies for sure.

Game has top notch level design, really good abilities that I didn't think would be that useful. Like the mimic ability that lets you become turrets/operators. Didn't think you would literally have combat abilities. Tons of stuff for hacking/repairing/lifting out of the way. Game has alot of small neat puzzles/hidden loot. Like Calvino's secret stash that you use the looking glass mechanics to find. Obviously from Dishonored 2 but its nice.

Operators were not fun to fight, are pretty uninteresting design wise, and all do the same shit. Really felt like robotic enemies should have been a thing, even if its just near the end with Dahl. Also felt like human targets/enemies should have been more of a thing, you only had 2 people who had any threat/animosity to you. The fake Cook and Dahl.

>You get to see everything just like Skyrim!
See, this is where the argument falls apart. You could refuse to level any skills at all and you're still seeing everything in Prey, almost every hackable lock, repairable thingy and blocked doorway can be bypassed by going somewhere you can reach and picking up the relevant information from somebody's corpse or email terminal. Furthermore, all there is to see in the game is the main story and some much smaller-scale sidequests, there's no Engineer's Guild working out of the Hardware Labs who require you to level your repair skill to finish their storyline.

Because its the antithesis of actual choice. The choice you made was at the neuromod screen when you decided to pick a skill that can get you into rooms over a skill that had other uses. That was a good choice, thats where the decision making should have ended. This shit of being able to bypass everything completely invalidates the choices you make because you will be able to do everything anyway

Oh wait, you think this was all some Prey 2 conspiracy and not that the title was just slapped on towards the end of development to keep the IP.

This, I went through most of the game expecting to find a few more weapons and getting hit in the dick instead. I can't think of the last single player shooter I played that didn't have some of kind explosive launcher at the very least.
The fact that there are only three weapons that get affected by weapon kits on the security side and two on the lab side is the worst weapon variety I've seen in the game in a long time. Maybe a heavy-Typhon based character is better for that, I still haven't tried one.

Let's give that enemy death lasers and a health pool the size of an elemental phantom! We've otherwise completely run out of ideas!

I prefer how it damages you compared to time outs, if anything. Pop a one or two food items, depending on if you have the perk to boost food items, HP lost from the hack is back. Meanwhile in Deus Ex you're stuck waiting until it cools down.
Once you get used to the way the minigame works you can't fail it anyways. The hardest hacking is Hack 2 anyways, Hack 1, 3, and 4 I always got done with plenty of time to spare. There's no RNG elements to it like with Deus Ex. That said, I liked the hacking system in Deus Ex a little more as well since you could get random loot from it.

>>376653621
It's a good spiritual successor unlike Bioshock.

It's the simulation.
You'll also see the same glitches in the final cutscene.

>>376653286
There is no way any firearm would be taken up in a space station period, so I don't know what your problem is.
I just used explosive weapons as an example because of how common they are to FPS, but anything more would have worked. There are only two weapons that use Lab Tech to get more upgrades. Fucking two! And the GLOO gun is garbage that I never used for anything but Cystoids and utility once I got enough ammo for my pistol and shotgun. The same two weapons I used for over thirty hours because I wasn't given enough tools for combat.

To elaborate on this point, I feel like turrets can fill in another slot on the weapons roster. They're a constant throughout the game and reasonably reliable damage dealers, and the fact that they're just portable mounts adds more strategy than an assault rifle would.

I think it does.

>>376654605
Nigga I agree that Prey enemy design is lackluster and variety could be a bit spicier, but you're memeing me if you think SS had more variety.

There were two types of enemies in SS, ones that shoot at you, and ones that run at you.

So when do they release the promised hardcore mode?

>>376652106
Hybrid (Pipe, Shotgun, Grenade)
Assassin (Red, Cyborg)
Monkey (Red, Blue)
Protocol Droid
Robot (Maintenance, Security)
Swarm
Psi Reaver (A single Greater exists)
Egg (Grub, Swarm, Toxic)
Grub

Arachnid (Infant, Adult, Invisible)
Turret (Rickenbacker, Slug, Laser, Blast)

Well put opinion, Anon.

All the weapons you find are unmodified, which makes no sense for a station full of upgrade kits. It would have been neat if they had a variety of upgraded stats, both for narrative and as a way for non-engie players to get stronger guns, even if they're not the max.

Please explain how level design in Prey is as linear as Bioshock?

>>376649315
>Name one flaw.
The hacking minigame is awful. Like, seriously terrible.
Some pretty big sudden framerate drops out of nowhere.
The game crashed on me twice in some 6-7 hours of play.
While the first few levels were really tense, I'm starting to feel a little too comfortable around the 6 hour mark. I'm pretty much swimming in ammo and have 20+ of just about every crafting resource. I liked how the first few fights felt super tense and each encounter required preparation and shit, but now I can pretty much blast invidiual enemies without so much as breaking a sweat.
Those psycho-goggles seem to take a bit of the mystery and tension away too.
The writing isn't amazing. It's better not to think too much about what is going on. My favorite question so far is: does the mimic really need humans to reproduce? Because I'm fairly sure that whole "killing prisoners" thing could have been solve by hauling in a cow or two.

Despite all of those issues, so far it's one of the best AAA titles I've played in many years. It's really, really damn good. And it's fucking sad to see all the people around here still fucking whining and complaining. I guess this board has been finally overrun by absolute cretins now. Halo generation and beyond, now edgy and whining.

The reason why they avoided it, despite it making sense story-wise, is because it could easily make players feel like they wasted their mod-kits when they invest them into a gun, then find out there is an already modded version around the corner, and they could have spent the points on a different one instead.

"It's just variants / skins"

I suppose the only way it could be worse is if the enemies themselves were copies with different names. Like Prey.

>>376656229
Agreed - I didn't even get Combat Focus until it was basically one of the last things to pick up, and Nightmare still wasn't much of a challenge after not too long. As soon as I got the ability to craft neuromods the difficulty basically just vanished.

>>376649315

>>376656302
>>376656229

I played on Nightmare and had a lot of resources in midgame too.
Then it was the other way around by endgame because recyclers are usually far away from the level entrances.

>>376656376
What enemies are copies with different names in Prey?

>>376649315
no torrent

>>376649916
There was one text log that explained how they are the ultimate backdoor trap organism. They can mimic a meteorite and travel for millions of years, but only experience it in a few minutes inside a pocket dimension, until they sense "Prey". I think they game even puts it in parenthesis. Anyway I haven't beaten the game yet so I don't know. I heard the log you're talking about that said they don't really see us like we see ourselves.

>>376656606
I assume he's talking about the different types of Phantoms. Those are the only reskins in the game.

Unlike SS2 :v)

>>376656302
>The reason why they avoided it, despite it making sense story-wise, is because it could easily make players feel like they wasted their mod-kits when they invest them into a gun, then find out there is an already modded version around the corner, and they could have spent the points on a different one instead.

They could balance that by increasing the parts/material yield according to upgrades. Upgrade kits are really that rare and you can make more.

>>376656376
The difference between just being skins/variants and the way Prey does it is that the enemies actually behave differently in Prey. >>376654914
got it right in that in SS2 all of the enemies either run up to melee you, or shoot at you. The red assassins were basically the only ones with a semblance of variety, at least until you ran up to them and forced them to engage in combat.

>>376656723
>he thinks if you swap the limb count or make it bigger/smaller it somehow becomes significantly different

>>376649916
Clearly they should've just named it 'Vore'. It's what the Typhon are doing to humans, it's a 4 letter word for marketing, and it doesn't trample on the existing IP!

The enemies are kind of lame and forgettable. Bioshock's Splicers were very colorful characters, Typhon are just emotionless murderghosts

>>376656916
Yes Anon, if you change the way you have to interact with an enemy, you can safely call it a different enemy type.

Unlike in SS2 where you have enemies that stand still and shoot at you, or run at you in a straight line. :v)

>>376656704
Yeah I remember that log. Thing is; the idea of us being their prey (because they can create new typhons from the corpses of humans) isn't really pushed as a theme in the game. It's a game about neuroscience, pushing the boundaries of what's ethical and first and foremost empathy.

>>376657052
dear god

So I read this thread. I played Prey and I played SS2 when I was younger.

But I think you guys are overidealizing SS2 here. It was fairly easy too, maybe more so than Prey.
You could basically become a tank by midgame and literally unstoppable by endgame.

>>376657204
Except Typhoon are far more interesting to actually fight with. Mechanically, they are far more interesting than anything Bioshock ever presented, maybe except for Big Daddies, and even that is arguable.

The complaint about lack of enemy variety is fairly valid too, but again - the enemies that are in the game are more interesting to fight than in most similar titles, and I think that both makes up for the lack of variety, and explains it, as introduction of each new enemy type requires a lot of fairly complex implementations.

I'll take less well designed enemies over many poorly designed ones when given the option.

>>376649315
Loved the game, but one flaw:

That fucking Repo Man mission where you had to find the technical officer. Fucking had to comb the entire fucking station, and then the exterior as well, before I found fucking Kaspar.

Holy shit did that mission piss me off, why the fuck couldn't they have tagged a waypoint on the goddamn operator?

Otherwise, game was awesome. Didn't even mind the ending.

>>376657509
Do you think any of these fags played SS2?

How will they ever be able to make DLC (if there is one).

Would they create another space station? Or make it happen on Earth?

>>376657509
I found System Shock 2 more challenging around the 6 hour mark than I'm finding Prey right now. And it has not been so long since I played that game.

I'm actually still completely thrilled by Prey, I think it's pretty damn amazing. But I do insist that it lacks a bit in difficulty, moreso than System Shock 2 did. My main issue however is not the lack of challenge itself, as the glimpse of really tense gameplay it provides early on that just kinda... fades away over a few hours. Games like this should not get easier over time. And the early-game tension really is amazing, and makes the lack of it around midgame all the more dissappointing.

>>376657803
Where you at? Arboterum?

>>376657679
>why the fuck couldn't they have tagged a waypoint on the goddamn operator?
The game does, but you have to turn on quest markers. I know I definitely had a quest marker directly on Kaspar at least.

>>376657679
If you save Ingwe the optional quest he gives you to incapacitate Dahl locates the operator for you.

You can also do this outside of this quest by sneaking onto the shuttle Dahl used to get onboard the station

>>376657890
Just finished up the level before you enter Guts, the one with the containment field. I did spend two or three hours going back to the level where you begin the game (Neuromods?) and clearing most of it out. I pressume I was not supposed to do that yet, because that part was tough as fucking NAILS.

>>376649767
>No enemy variety.
There's what, 2 kinds of mimic, 4 types of phantom, plus the 3 types of unique typhon, then there's the Cysts and the Nightmare?

And I guess enemy operators, of which there's technically 4 types but more realistically I'd consider 2.

So there were 13 enemy types in all, that's not bad is it?

>>376658075
After you progress past certain parts enemies fill up certain areas, usually harder. Although I think this might be tied to clearing most of the room because in the Lobby I completely said "fuck this bullshit" and ignored the two Telepaths that had showed up and they were never replaced by anything else.

This is why we can't have nice things.

>>376658272
I noticed. Actually, I was surprised that the lobby was populated by greater phantoms (which do give me a LOT of grief), which felt like a crazy difficulty spike, but the containmnent area was mostly filled with regular mimics and phantoms, which I can really kill pretty easily, and more ammo than I can consume.
Currently, I have around 400 rounds for the glue gun, around 100 for the 9mm and around 30 shotgun shells, plus about 20 of each type of material and 13 neuromods which I'm not sure how to even use, plus I can make more if I wanted.

I didn't like the third act of the game because it felt more I was running errands for people than acting on my accord. Going through hubs to each loading screen was annoying.

>>376656229
The beginning was awesome, that first mimic actually beat my shit in and phantoms and the like took planning to take down.

But I also kind of liked the power creep, how your character becomes increasingly monstrous until you could oneshot Phantoms with Psi-shock and the like.

I still wish they put in the original Prey's wallwalking stuff. It's a space station with artificial gravity, so it wouldn't seem out of place. Plus they could have had typhons with it as a natural ability that you can mod yourself. All those tall rooms would really open up.

This System Shock 3 is the most obvious shilling line I've seen on this site yet.

>I liked the lack of assault rifles or anything heavier; you're on a space station after all.

Low velocity firearms like pistols and shotguns would be what you'd see for security on stations. SMGs would be probable too, so I guess they should have added one.

>>376658048
I definitely had quest markers on, trust me, I exhausted the alternatives including ransacking the shuttle and turning off all other quest markers except for the Repo Man's.

>>376658054
I did this first too, but after Dahl gets mindwiped he and Igwa just kind fo sat around in the room. Didn't even contact me again until I was literally outside the bridge room about to set off the Nullwave device with Alex.

Goddamn it.

You become a figurative demigod at the end of the game. I think I ended it with about 100 resources of every category and a stick of 60 medpacks and 100 hypostims, it was the hard difficulty too.

The loadings.

>>376659282

>>376649315
Combat is trash. Powers are boring.

>>376659443
Load times were basically non-existent. Were you on a console? On PC with an SSD I never had a load time longer than 5 seconds.

>>376658940
Imagine being ao jaded that you think everyone that praises a game is a shill.
Damn that must suck.

Given how they made a system with no set quickbar, I think they should have added more guns. Even weak makeshift ones you wouldn't use but could still wield. Maybe the StabFellow guy would have a blunt display sword in his quarters.

Just be messy with it. Too many devs need to stop refining things down to a list of bare essentials and start adding shit that doesn't always have an optimal purpose.

WHen I first played this game I hated it, but I couldnt return it to a redbox for a few days so I ended up playing it some more. ANd after a bit I started to come around to liking it and now I love it.

The biggest problem is that the first 1-3 hours are weak, the game didn't start clicking until I got more of the weapons and got to figure out the utility purposes of them. I also feel like you should get the psychoscope a bit earlier.

I loved the abilities personally, but I kind of hated having to select and right click for each one when I wanted to use a bunch in succession.

>>376649868
I think the idea was to force the player into finding other ways to deal with enemies than the guns alone.
It definitely works early game but unless you force yourself to avoid the weapon upgrade skills, a fully max shotgun will two shot everything in the late game.

>>376659568
PC, the loadings aren't much of an issue early on but near the end game you have to backtrack like a mad man to complete side quests and that means 3-5 loading screens back to back.

>>376659568
PC user here, and the loading times are pretty ruthless. I don't use SSD for my games, admitedly. But it is far worse than the game could justify. Especially due to the annoying tendency to have two of them: one loading the level, and then immediately going to a second which I assume load textures and individual positions.

>>376649762
I got 40 hours out of it, I'd say that's pretty decent.

>>376659405
All the paths it opens up can just be accessed by stacking boxes and shit though.

Because it has a finite amount of ammo, there's nothing that absolutely requires it; it's only useful to bypass platforming.

It's achievements are very difficult / annoying / time consuming to unlock (not that most people give a shit about it, but I do).
No ability (yet) to remove the HUD to take screenshots of the game's scenery.
Some bug issues at launch for some people, haven't experienced them myself though.
Weapon selection is kinda low, it would have been nice to have a few more weapons, but it's not a gigantic flaw.
Not a huge fan of the silent protagonist, but in the context of the game itself it makes sense.

I can't think of anything else that I really have a problem with. The game itself is amazing to a person like me that likes single player immersive experiences. I've already put over 80 hours into three playthroughs.

Otherwise, 9/10 game that will go down as an underrated gem due to all the casual faggots that are claiming it's bad despite not playing it themselves.

By the way, I'm at 81 hours now, and that's with about 2 playthroughs and I just started my third today.

A single playthrough, if you actually play the game properly and explore and do all the quests, should take around 40 hours, depending on the difficulty you play.

>>376661260
My first playthrough was on it because I thought there were difficulty achievements (there aren't), and I have no problems, in fact the later playthrough I did on easy without neuromods was much more difficult, mostly because inventory space is reduced and the neuromods allow you to get around much easier / hack doors / safes / repair stuff / lift objects. Also, give you more health, jumping / movement speed and unlock weapon upgrades.

>>376661260

>But yeah, I saved Alex but both he and Morgan were fucking sociopaths.
It's pretty funny, really. They lost track of their own empathy in their pursuit for scientific progress, eventually realising that empathy is the key to solving the typhon crisis.

In the end if you killed Alex, he says he would've done the same to the man he was back then.

>>376660883
>Now, playing without neuromods it can be very hard.


I'm wondering how people would handle some mobs like the Nightmare in that situation.

I mean, when I found the Technopath at the beginning of the game in the Neuromod division I died whenever I went up to it face to face with nothing but a disruptor and a pistol.

In the end I had to create a literal minefield with those Recycler charges while it was on patrol.

>>376659949
>What the fuck has happened to modern gamers that an excellent, immersive and atmospheric game like this can come out and people hate it?
Modern /v/, basically. Except it spread to the whole god-damn industry.

>>376660768
>Is hard a good difficulty to start with?
It's what I started with. But get ready to die A LOT in the first four hours or so.
I found it ideal. Every minor mistake was is punished, resource juggling is a real deal, every encounter is stressful, requires preparation, thinking your strategy ahead. Fuck-ups are badly punished. It can be frustrating, because you can easily find yourself repeating the same battle three, four times.

That said, all of that applies to the first four or five hours only. Then it gets a lot easier.

>>376649315
Operators should only be able to heal a certain amount of points. I have a shitton of consumables because I can just run back to an operator with no consequence.

>>376649315

>>376661643
>In the end if you killed Alex, he says he would've done the same to the man he was back then.

Haha, nice.

I kind of liked how the entire game was essentially a huge personality test, I am a little curious about what the ramifications of the game are.

Like it's predicated on Morgan's memories, right? I'm wondering if the contents of the game really happened, like maybe the reason Earth is so fucked up is because Morgan didn't destroy the shuttle in that bridge "Shuttle Advent" quest, and the thing was loaded with mimics.

>>376661886
Sounds realistic.

>>376661853
I guess they wanted to balance this out with operators having limited number of summons, as they should get routinely murdered by the Typhoon. But in reality it seems to not be working that way. So I agree, operators use should be more limited, costing resources or having finite charges.

>>376662021
Operators were meant to treat burns and broken bones when the trauma system was still implemented in the game.

They had to remove it because of playtesting.But that's why operators feel kind of overpowered right now.
They need to bring that "survival" patch asap.

>>376661886
>>376661970
I honestly wish they made it a bit more realistic.

Like Morgan slows to a stop in space if you aren't constantly holding down a direction key. Would also be interesting if every time you fire a weapon you're left spinning.

>>376661952
I think the decisions you make in the game were all based on the dilemmas Morgan himself faced on the station during the actual crisis.

There are too many hints in the simulation for it to not have been based on his largely unedited memories; things such as the transcribe conversations about teaching typhon how to "see" humans ie empathy by first giving them the ability (human mirror neurons) and then teaching it to them through simulated experiences, that and Calvino's Looking Glass goggle prototypes in his cabin.

I'm anxious to see what they'll do in the DLC or if we'll ever get a sequel. I want to know the real course of events and what happened to the real Morgan.

Seemed like most the reviews loved it, would be a shame to see the series die off especially with that cliffhanger.

> I want to know the real course of events and what happened to the real Morgan.

The typhon coral network voice changes depending on if you're male or female; so given how predictable the first was, Prey 2 is gonna have your first time interacting it with you have the Typhon claim itself to be the real Morgan ascended into January 2.0 and that Alex is still trying to further his own ideals first; and to even go further down the predictable train, I am gonna go ahead and guess that the phantom you play as is made from the corpse of the real Morgan Yu.

>>376662665
God knows, though Bethesda does not seem to be the company to write titles off as easily as Squeenix or Sega do. Hopefully someone with a half-a-brain there (and we know such people exist, even in Bethersda) will realize the still-existing potential the title has.

>>376662665
No, Anon. This game is not getting a sequel or even a spiritual successor unless some miracle in sales happens.

At least everyone who didn't play it will pretend to love it in 10 years, just like SS, Thief, and Deus Ex.

gtfo my face.

>>376663080
But the gameplay in Prey 2006 was boring, it was worse than Doom 3 and way worse than Quake 4.

>>376663080
Why did you compare them anyway?

The aggressive marketing on this is utterly disgusting, dragging quality games through the mud to promote a mediocre studio like Arkane.

>>376663080

you hipsters crack me up

no one gave a single fuck about the original Prey until Prey 2 was cancelled

>>376662862
It'd be really fucking tragic to see BethSoft drop Prey because of their own marketing team being shit rather than any fault of the game developers.

>>376662809
I think they have a better plan for how the story will go with Prey 2 than they had with DH2 (which was basically a complete retread). Alex is clearly a changed man at the end; I never found him to be that bad in the game anyway. He genuinely believed he was doing what Morgan actually wanted, and him being willing to go down with the station at the end revealed some genuine belief in his and Morgan's work. It wasn't just empty rhetoric at that point. Alex also caved to Morgan's wish to neuromod typhon with human neurons rather than the opposite, then teaching them empathy through experiences.

I've also thought about the idea of being the Phantom of Morgan Yu's corpse; even if there's no real connection between the person they were and the typhon phantom ripped out of their corpse, it'd be pottery.

>>376663267

I can't hear a fucking word people are saying in the game, if there wasn't subtitles I wouldn't have known anyone was talking most of the time.

>>376663389
Which studios are being dragged through the mud here, again?

Does this game really need 16GB of RAM?

>>376663501
>Well i didnt hear anyone bitching about it during release
How underage are you? The game kept getting delayed for years due to 3D Realm's incompetence and changed engines, basically a Duke Nukem Forever before DNF actually came out, and was a huge disappointment on release considering how much it was hyped up.
> isnt it unfair to compare the controls of games whos release dates span 10 years apart
The problem is it didn't compare to previous or contemporary shooters at the time, it's very boring and linear and a lot of the enemies are unfun to fight. Prey was mediocre in every aspect except story. The game flopped on 360 and had mediocre PC sales. No one cared about Prey until the Human Head drama, it would have been another forgotten 2000's shooter.

>>376663701
I said games, Harvey, not studios. Though you sure love to wear the shallow carcass of an acclaimed studio that, unlike Arkane, created classics.

>>376650778
Start by upgrading it's damage and firing time. Eats through the ammo quick.

>>376664132
Are you trying to pretend Arx Fatalis isn't a classic?

>>376664080
Your shit taste isnt compatible with the OG prey.

games get delayed amd canceled all the time its hardly a point to make in this argument which wasnt about release dates at all.

>it didnt compare to any other shooter at the time of release
youre crazy, its controls are no where near as bad as youd like to think.

>>376664372
The game you faggots love to bring up when trying to justify Arkane's existence yet no one knows? Absolutely.

>>376650714
I was expecting humans instead of just Operators painted black when he showed up.

Think I only liked the Ether Phantom Behavior. The splitting mechanic was really cool. The electric one and the fire one feel the same.

>>376664451
Quake 4 came out the same year and blew Prey out of the water despite being the worst Quake.

>>376664617
Shit, even Area 51 came out the same year, and despite being instantly forgotten, was still better than Prey.

Can I get a quick rundown of the plot?

While I love the game, I can't say I liked the enemy designs all that much. They all looked kinda samey. Almost all are pretty boring visually. That isn't to say there aren't some cool ones though, and the way they made the weaknesses/strengths for them was awesome.

>>376649315
>Buy game
>Yeah sure it's alright
>Wonder whatever happened to Prey 2
>Bethesda destroyed years of peoples lives and a company because they couldn't buy a game engine because lord knows they can't code one for shit

So Bethesda is the flaw OP.

>>376651687
this pissed me off, t
he beginning of the game you had a scope, a normal zoom scope, which was useful, then later you are forced to use a psychoscope which is a clunky, annoying and damn right useless zoom tool.
>>376660694
>The whole aspect of researching your enemies for new powers I actually loved,
Come on anon, this type of shit is cancer. They had this in bioshock too and it was annoying as fuck, just like prey, you stand there researching, taking images of the enemy before you even start to fight.

>>376659282
Varying degrees, depended on who he was interacting with.

I remember coming across one note that said he was not acting like his usual joking self would. That people liked being around him and now he just glass eyed and weird.

OG Morgan was a Yu through and through. Didn't give a fuck about ethics and shit when it came to science.

So Morgan was an ass if something or someone was stopping the science from happening.

>>376665029
Wake up on a space station orbiting the Earth/Moon. You and your brother were doing experiments on alien shit they found back during the Cold War, and you yourself volunteered to undergo tests for it. It was a disaster, and you lost your memories of what happened on the station.

So far you have been making zero sense. ALL that you managed to say is that you don't like Arkane. Not even why. Just fuck Arkane.

You talked about good name of games (or companies) it does not matter suffering here, and I want to know what is the good game being dragged through mud you were talking about.

>>376665029
You're Morgan Yu, you work as a tester for your brother's company. A Typhon (the ayylmaos) breaks containment cutting your last test short, only for you to wake up like nothing happened.

An operator (which are robots) named January tells you to escape, which reveals that your entire room, and job, were simulated and you are actually on a space station. January claims to be a backup of your memories and wants you to blow up the station. Later Alex shows a video proving the tests were your idea, and that they had a side effect of slowly changing your personality despite wiping your memory each reset by removing the installed neuromods. He wants you to use a device you designed to eradicate all Typhon life at least within range of the space station.

A cleanup operation is sent in from the owners of the company (your father.) And after dealing with them you get to choose who to side with, but only after a giant Typhon starts mouthfucking the station.

Despite who you choose, the game ends to reveal that it was actually a similar simulation to what you were doing at the start of the game, but you're actually a Typhon, who has been implanted with neuromods intended to give human empathy to it. You are then evaluated based on what you did in the game.

The Fatal Fortress group subplot hit me in the feels.

>>376662373
I think there will be DLC. It was popular enough, and the reaction was very positive.

The only people who seem to hate it are people wanting Prey 2, or triggered Bioshock Infinite fans when you say this is a better Shock game than Infinite ever was.

Probably going to be set on the Moon. It mentions it several times throughout the game as being home to another facility that ships resources to Talos-1, and has it's own small community. So instead of research station, we get more Living Area. Kind of like Dead Space 2, I think.

>>376665359
First you fucks insisted this was "the real Bioshock 3", then it escalated into "the real System Shock 3", now you're even dragging Deus Ex and Thief into it. Fuck off. Anyone who played it knows it's bullshit, anyone who took 10 minutes of their time to look into gameplay knows you're full of shit. Shilling so effortless it's downright offensive. About as effortless as Arkane's development philosophies, come to think of it.
