So this game is supposedly not bad at all. I wasn't interested

I was going to buy it for the same numbers but your thread stalled me. Waiting for answers.

>>376697630
It's definitely worth it but there's no connection to the original or Tommy.

Does anyone else feel like you get overloaded with objectives in this game? I feel overwhelmed and never knowing if I'm going in the right direction

>>376697904
You can turn off quest markers individually if you want.

>>376697630
I was pretty dubious about what the game would turn out to be, and seeing all the retards yelling at it kind of drove me to buy it.

It's pretty fucking neat, really. I don't know where I am atm, I think I must be around the middle of the campaign, and I'm having tons of fun (playing in Hard mode). A lot of similarities with Dishonored and Bioshock, but it feels very good.

>>376697630
>So now I'm interested in this game, anyone playing it?
Yeah, I'm about eight hours in or so.

It's flawed, but I'd still argue it's the best AAA title in many years. It's damn good. It's obviously mostly inspired by System Shock 2 (like seriously, this is one of the few cases where the label of spiritual sequel isn't just a marketing trick). If you haven't played SS2, then think the best of combination of Bioshock (the first one) and Alien Isolation, except with a lot more "toys" to fool around than either of those games.

It's reasonably complex, lethal, really rewards exploration and experimentation, and the level design so far has been amazing.

The only bigger issue I've head were some technical issues (framerate drops, two crashes, one of which was however caused by bad drivers), a bit lackluster art direction and the fact that enemies look and feel a bit same-y.

>Also does it have any relations to the older game about some native american dude?
Technically it it's under the same trademark because lol-corporate absurdities, but no. It has nothing to do with original Prey, outside of name, the fact that it involves aliens, space, vaguely supernatural overthemes and plays in first person.

>>376697904
>Does anyone else feel like you get overloaded with objectives in this game?
You can shut those down in the objectives menu.

it turned out like dxmd, a decent game but nowhere near worth nowhere near 60. grab it when it drops to 20-30 in winter sale.

>>376698032
I grabbed it at 30 bucks on a french website

I'm about 4 hours in, got the psychoscope recently and having fun with all the new abilities. But do the enemies change appearance at all? I've seen like three variations of enemies.

>>376697630
It's basically what Bioshock should have been, except with a more grounded style rather than a full on "why Ayn Rand is bad allegory".

>>376697630
Start is slow, the rest of the game is great until the end.

The literal definition of an 8/10 game.

>>376697630
The ending is really lazy

>>376698564
I found the start the best, and the game gradually somewhat losing it's charm as it goes on...

>>376698195
>But do the enemies change appearance at all?
Most of them do look fairly similar, differ in movement patterns, visibility, number of tentacles, spikes etc... There are roughly six or seven base "types" of enemies, as far as I can tell: Operators, mimics, phanthoms, poltergeists (which are ripped ENTIRELY from STALKER, by the way), the fucked-up typhoon-operator hybrids, the extrenal polyp fucks, I'm probably forgetting someone.
But most of them look same - operators look like operators, Typhoon look like typhoon fucks, even if they are tiered and different among themselves in attack, movement and special abilities.

I'm afraid to craft anything because I feel like I should hog all this shit for something better.

I just know I'm gonna end the game with a bunch of shit in my inventory that I saved for a rainy day that never came.

>>376698076
You can get it for €30 right now on some websites.

>>376699103
Anything grey litteral trash.

You can recycle it as soon as you run out of room.

>>376699103
Crank up the difficulty then. You'll quickly find out that at least in early game, you'll gladly just burn all your resources just to get past the very next encounter on Nightmare.

>>376698564
>Start is slow
I loved the start though,

Mimics made me shit my pants in the Neuromod division, first one in particular kicked my shit in. Loved the power creep through the game actually.

>>376698195
Mimics, Phantoms, Weavers, Technopaths, Telepaths, and Nightmares are the only real mobs with "different" appearances. Not counting the apex.

>>376698192
No one is saying the game is perfect, the vast majority of the people who responded to OP in that thread still loved the game though.

When you go to a recycler to recycle gear you can literally hold down a key to deposit all your trash items that you can't use for anything else into it.

>>376698076

Its been $45 on some sites since it released

>>376699018
You forgot technopaths and telepaths.

God I hated technopaths.

Like the powerplant portion? Found the supply cage locked on the side of the room and thought that, when you cycle the station power,
it would somehow trigger a Typhon rush.
That the turrets were not the subtlest hint that you might want to prepare for them.

So I armed and fortified those turrets, placing them right in front of the small room you initiate the restart from, and fabricated another four and fortified them too. Placing them right in front of the room as well.

I was so fucking pissed when two Technopaths just fucking dropped on me and took all my goddamn fortified turrets. Such a waste of resources just to bust my own balls in a fight.

Fucking lame, gating the games' difficulty like that. If I've found the parts I should be able to make as many as I like.

Is that per machine, per license or in total?

>Fucking lame, gating the games' difficulty like that. If I've found the parts I should be able to make as many as I like.

Is this a joke?

I never ran into this, since I explored the fuck out of the Neuromod division right off the bat, but my impression is that when you run across the license expiring you're given a corresponding quest to handle the problem.

Look at your objectives, anon, or just fully explore the neuromod division.

>>376700619
>>376700754
There's a sidequest to renew the license.

>>376697630
>wasn't interested because of IGN
>read about it on r/gaming
This is upsetting

>>376700754
It's a plot mechanic which explains itself when it happens.

Someone had rescinded the license for neuromod fabrication. You just have to figure out how to renew it. Then it's unlimited neuromods.

>>376700823
I liked it too in a masochistic way.

Like it was perfectly set up for players who like to over prepare for fights to fuck themselves.

Does getting the PSI point upgrade lock you out of a pure alien run?

>AAA
it's AA at best, production value is significantly lower than D2, Doom or Fo4. It only have better marketing than another AA game thanks to the bethesda brand.

Good enough story.
Mediocre gameplay, bastard child of dishonored and bioshock.

Doesn't deserve so much positive reviews, i guess people just wanted a prey game as long as it's not pure garbage.

>>376701283
>D2, Doom or Fo4

Don't know if this is an unpopular opinion, but I liked the game far more than all three of those.

>>376700619

Are you playing drunk? The exact moment that happens, a conversations starts, a new quest is given to you and a marker appears on the screen.

>>376697630
It's very very good. Gameplay evolution is great, level design is insane, everything is connected, imo art direction is also really nice and less exuberant than Bioshock.

So far my only issues with the game are :
-some strange physics bugs with strength level 3 when I want to move heavy items
-lack of visual variety in ennemies (it's decent but I wanted more)
-story and writing is just "okay" throughout the game but the final twist makes it a bit poor.

No relations at all with the first Prey, the game could have been called System Shock 3 more than Prey.

>>376701408
That's because you have good taste anon.

>>376700324
>technopaths

just stun lock them with the distruptor stun gun (you can even add an EMP beforehand if you don't want to get hit by their "fuck your energy weapons" EMP blasts).

Then either blast them up close with the shotgun or the stun gun

>>376701371
>people just wanted a prey game
kek, prey """fans""" hate on this game since the get go. The only one who anticipate this game are shock game fans and bethesdrones.
the game is one cut above dishonored and have some better features than bioshock like inventory resource management, difficulty, unlinearity to solve objective so i wouldnt call it a bastard child.

lol harvey

no one fucking bought it

listening to January just seems retarded near the end

>we need to destroy all our advanced tech so we can not be prepared for an alien invasion that might happen
>we have the technology that will probably destroy the super alien but it might not work so we should blow ourselves up instead even though that might not work either

>>376701212
I think it does but unless you want the achievement or a bonus line of dialogue don't bother. You can cheese it anyway by doing escape pod with no mods then saving before hand and spending a point in either on different files so you can get all 3.

>>376701671
well it was programmed to be a stubborn little shit with one purpose.

>>376701646

I bought it AND I convinced two friends to get it. And we are all enjoying it inmensely.

>>376701749
then I blew that little shit away so I could push the murder alien button with my bro.

>>376701671
January was coded with the mind of January 2035 Morgan, where (s)he started to become batshit insane with the repeated neuromod installation.

I think it's a great bit of storytelling to see the progression of morgan psyche with October and December. First it's "we can control them", then it's "fuck this shit i'm out" to finally become "let's blow everything up"

>cook is sitting in an escape pod
>he detonates a recycler the moment I walk in

I was going to help him escape even though he was eating people.

>>376697630
feels like a system shock game, maybe on the easy side though. Nightmare feels like the right difficulty.

Well optimized.

>>376701843
Same here. I still haven't gotten my copy (went for the physical steelbook) but my buddies fucking love it, they're super triggered about shitty reviews.

I'm surprised they only included two real jump scares in the entire game. It made it way more tense waiting for something that never came

How many alien powers can you get before the turrets start shooting you? I only have the mimic matter 1 power so far but the status screen says I have just a little bit less than required for the thrrets to start shooting.

Can you really only get 1 power?

>>376701371
>Mediocre gameplay, bastard child of dishonored and bioshock.

The combat is very meh, but everything from the exploration, abilities and problem solving in the level design is pretty fantastic.

How's the performance of the game doing though?

>>376702814
I think it started when I had 3 or 4 different types.

>>376702814
You can at least get another, I'm rolling with mimic and tk blast

>>376702814
I had two alien powers but after getting enough normal neuromods they started engaging me aswell, so those also count towards the threshold, just not as much.

>>376702814
I think its at 3 or 4 powers that they will start shooting at you. You should be safe with two powers.

>>376703446
Thanks matey.

I think Prey is doing all right after all. People are praising it everywhere.

Are the alien powers worth pursuing at all? I'm the special snowflake that wants to spec mostly into those, but the regular-ass Neuromods seem vastly more powerful. Am I missing something? Straight stat upgrades like a +25% to movement or 250% wrench damage sound hilarious combined.

Course, I'm only to Morgan's office.

>>376704697
Casuals hate it. First-hand accounts of console players returning the game because "they didn't like it" and that god awful TechRaptor review.

Debuted #2 in the UK and Steamspy gives it a generous estimate of 190,000 copies.
It's not doing well.

>>376704892
>Straight stat upgrades like a +25% to movement or 250% wrench damage sound hilarious combined

Oh they are, combined with the stealth mod which lets you print undetected and sneak damage bonus you can do some broken shit.
I'm on my human only mods run so can't say anything about the alien powers.
The mobility stuff is something I won't go without even on my alien run, that shit's a game changer.

>>376697630
Did you enjoy Bioshock? Did you enjoy System Shock?

If yes, get it ASAP.

>>376697630
One big question, is this the more "smarter game for smarter people" ?

>>376705564

Not really. You can beat the game by pretty dumb means.

Help me understand the story please.

Russians & Americans invested a lot in space exploration and found the Typhon by accident? Americans later started researching Typhons and found a way to make Neuromods from them? They started testing with Morgan to see if they could give him Typhon powers through Neuromods? This all went pretty well untill one of the mimics escaped containment somehow?

Is this all correct?

Prey does seem to have the most discussion on /v/ for a denuvo title. Must be a great success.

>>376704892
alien power helps in turn of utility like the mimic ability which allows you to bypass some blockade by squeezing in through cracks and holes. That's the only power that's worth though in my opinion.

>>376705564
If you want it to be.

>>376705710
kek no. nier automata is also denuvo'ed

>>376705873
It had 2b fan unit drool over it without actually playing it. And it has denuvo removed anyways.

So I just got to this Arboretum place and there's a telepath and some hapless idiot it's mind controlled locked in a greenhouse. Is it possible to save him? If so, how?

>>376705709
that's the gist of it :^)
now go play the fucking game

>>376701408
Haven't played D2, but I liked D44M, FO4 was just a "let's put as many mods from our previous games and hope no one notices the parts we made are shit" episode still enjoyed building my base, used cheat codes for mats cause farming in that game felt voring unlike the previous games.

>>376705709
Also how is it possible that the same day Morgan's neuromods basically stopped working the mimic also escaped? Is this is just a pure co-incidence

>>376706012
I have allready beat it. I'm replaying it on nightmare.

It's boring as fuck, famalam. Also extremely buggy. I've had entire sections reset completely by reentering them.

>>376705709
Alternate universe with Kennedy's assassination prevented and NASA get more funds to develop. While in space, a Typhon came across one satellite and attached itself on it while being brought back to a space station. Outbreak but managed to be contain.

Years later, Morgan and Alex corp bought that space station and built around it. Research on Typhons and Neuromods are made from them. Psychic link, mental disorder and what not follows. Morgan who was installed with many of them become unstable and fearful of the danger. He discussed with Alex but Alex is also unstable, who still clings on the 'We be Gods belief' old Morgan persuaded him with. So Alex back stabbed Morgan by uninstalling Morgan's mods and causing his memories to be reset.

Start of the game is at the numerous simulation of testing new Neuromods on Morgan. Mimic break loose and the plot begins.

the station was already built by both us and ussr before the yu bought it. They simply renovated it into a luxury spess eugenic program.

>>376706362

There is one in the restaurant. The first one I got I don't remember.

>>376697630
it's good. I loved it, but I also love ROTR,MD,HR,Bioshock2 and the like.
it somewhat alien isolation meets system shock and deus ex kind of game.
Also has great computers, that' how every computer in every video game should be done.

>>376706305
Yeah, that all makes sense. I still find it weird Alex would do such a thing to his own brother over a simple disagreement.

One other thing that I am curious about. Is this
>>376706030

In most of the other tests Morgan apparantly used his Typhon powers. But only on the day the mimic breaks containment Morgan ''forgets'' how to use his powers. Why?

>>376706362
When you just escape your apartment (by breaking the glass) you can go to the room with the first safe in it (where the neuromod installation chair is) , jump on top of something in the room and find a briefcase with a note from Alex and a stun gun.

>>376706564
because whole game is the test.

fags keep saying it's like System shock 2 and it's like Bioshock. Which is it? Is it simplified babby shit like bioshit or the real deal?

Is this Alien Isolation tier good or is it just bioshock in space

>>376706709
From what I hear, it's in between
Not full of System Shock 2, but not as linear and streamlined as Bioshock

At least you admit your a parasite...

>>376706654
Yeah, but the test is based on Morgan's experience. So the real Morgan actually "lost/forgot'' his Typhon powers during one of the tests and experienced the outbreak. I'm just wondering of that is just a coincidence because during all the other tests morgan apparantly used his typhon powers. That's why they were so surprised Morgan forgot how to mimic.

>>376706709
somewhere in between, combat gets actually hard on higher difficulties
you have to combine weapons to kill big things, powers if you decided to have them

surprisingly a lot of people chose not to install typhon powers

>>376706825
other theory is that "coral" just cut his abilities so he couldn't stop typhon spread on the station quickly

Some of the best level design in a decade, excellent game.

What? I thought the point was that they removed all the neuromods which includes Typhon powers at the beginning of each etst, which causes Morgan's memory loss.

>>376706956
nah, they made it so he'd use them naturally, without memory of having them installed
that's why docs so surprised when he has no powers

I don't know why, but I'm in my first run and I'm not using alien powers either. Weird.

>>376707269

It's a real shame. I'm recommending it to everyone.

>>376707141
Blank mods were installed the day the game starts and so there was nothing to remove. This is why Morgan can recall everything from the previous day when he wakes up in bed again.

>>376707141

>>376707472

And this was to escape from the testing, not the typhon outbreak. So it was just a coincidence the outbreak happend on the same day.

anyone else was amazed by implementation of lookingalss screens everywhere?
can't recall which game did similar thing, not as well though

Is it worth maxing out hacking, repair and leverage? I usually play a "get anywhere" kinda guy, but gmaes these days usually put multiple routes into places, so I was wonderig if getting all the traversal skills is necessary this time?

Why isn't the game doing well with casuals? Its not really hard at all. The game tells you where you need to go and what to do constantly. There is also a shit ton of ammo/guns laying around everywhere. I don't get it.

Wat? You didn't actually destroy earth since it's ALL a simulation and earth is aready fucked anyway. You can blow up the station, and escape in the pod or stay, you can disable the coral and all typhoons with that super grenade thing, you can just hop into the pod and fly off. And I assume you can blow up the station and evacuate everyone with the shuttle though I haven't tried that one myself yet. Oh and I read you can kill everyone but Dahl and escape with him on the shuttle too.

If you max out hacking there's a point in the game where you might find yourself playing the minigame every 5 seconds.

Because it's an older type of game design I think. The people who grew up with these kind of games and/or difficulty have no problem what so ever playnig this game the first time. People who grew up with hand-holdy AAA titles are having a hard time.

I've just beat the game on hard and I was litterally drowning in ammo, neuromods and healthpacks.

>>376708170
by the way, about q beam

game needed at least couple more weapons, I know there is a ton of powers but it still needs a couple more
like heavy pistol or smg

>>376698075
I think Prey has less "toys" than Bioshock, but a more open and interesting level design. All the different ammo types of Bioshock and weapon variety are sorely missed here, but I do feel it would make the game imbalanced. Enemy variety is a bit wanting too. Nothing quite as iconic as a Big Daddy or as horrifying as the Cyborg Mothers.

Telepaths can go fuck themsleves though. Quit blowing people up you faggots

>>376697630
Played demo on PS4 and it's not that bad but it didn't suck me in. Just very bland.

Compared to Doom (2016), yeah. Doom was extrememly good.

Still doesn't explain hitting air. Probably requires more getting used to but other games do this better.

MD and Dishonored 2 made the mistake of trying to be something but not fully committing. They still want the mainstream audience because that's where the money is. Maybe it's just me and my personal preference though, but I could feel a big difference in Dishonored 1 and 2 and that goes for HR and MD aswell.

Prey is one of the first titles in a while that sort of nails what I really like in games. It's not a perfect game and it has flaws but it just feels really good to play. Dishonored 2 I have not even finished while I loved Dishonored 1.

>>376708765

>>376708892
No, you're right. I loved the shit out of HR and Dishonored, but I haven't finished either MD nor Dishonored 2. They feel unfinished to me, or at least it feels like those games didn't get nearly the same amount of love as their previous installments. Fallout 4 was even a bigger disappointment.
Prey does things right. Everything in the game just feels right which makes me want to play it which was something the other games are lacking.

Qbeam has better range though and when it's upgraded it does pretty good long-range damage.

Q-beam is for killing the nightmare.

Because I wanted another Fallout game and was hoping FO4 would turn out at least half decent despite it being a Bethesda game.

This game is basically a casual filter.
Game itself is solid for what it is, but the fact that a shock/dudesex style game can come along and show up the casual division in the modern AAA gaming audience is pretty interesting.

do nightmares appear if you play without neuromods?

>>376709645
yes it can. i think you have an obligatory random encounter with it regardless of your build

Idk why "space" is "space" and not "Leer" when "CTRL" is "STRG" and "Shift" is "UMSCHALT" in this game.

BTW I read that during the post-credits scene, there is a short flash where the robot operators are still there, but Alex is gone. Does it imply that ALL HUMANS are dead and only the operators are left? Is there a chance for a sequel that features the last surviving humans stationed on the moon base?

>>376709827

>>376710648
You mean the overly complicated way to finish that game that would take months to figure out? I thought it was confirmed to just be the KILL EVERYONE ending.

Ending was kinda bugged for me. They claimed I killed the volunteer, when I released him, and they also said "a lot of the typhon-controlled people died" when I made sure to just zap them with the tungun before their heads could explode. The only one I killed was the one in quarantine since I didn't know about telepaths back then.

>>376710648
build speed for forty hours then misalign your QPU's

in all seriousness it most likely is some commonly used sequence breaking/speedrunning technique

what engine does the game run on? there might be a clue in that, some commonly abused bug/exploit

>>376710979
same, also I have a few dead in fitness before me entering there center probably from fire

Do they? I thought you had to kill everyone with your own hands.

>>376711716
You do have to kill everyone with your own hands. I forgot to put "don't" in there. I just got done with a run where i got 41 kills and learned about it all that.

>>376711812
>>376711716
So if I want to kill everyone (I'm doing a kill all nightmare run) I have to execute the mind controlled dudes very quickly? And make sure they don't die from exploding stuff?

If you're a horrible monster do they still give you the option to take his hand in the end or do they just put you down?

>>376709391
>>376709257

it's still deeply flawed but the new survival mode redeemed a lot of FO4 to me. But then again I never found the roleplaying aspects of past fallouts very impressive so that big criticism never mattered to me.

>>376711951
You have to kill them. Them killing themselves, dying to hazards or tyhphons does not count towards your kill count. You can see it in your stats page. You need 42. I'd also avoid doing things like killing people with props or o2 tanks.

So what's the canon ending?

My guess is Morgan escaped and spared Alex. Since Alex is alive post-credits and those robots have the personalities of the people who escaped with Dahls shuttle.

>>376697630
why is it called Prey?

>>376712243

Just beat the game. Loved it
Wasn't spoiled on the ending so I was thoroughly mindfucked by the fact that you were never you but a Typhon who was given Morgan's experiences.
I liked how they didn't straight up tell you right off the bat, but you can look down and see you have Phantom hands.
I went full empathy run, and I killed January. Psychotic fucking machine. "HURR DURR the nullwave transmitter might not work, so kill yourself and everyone else on board because that's what Morgan told me to do".
I'm also a little disappointed that you don't really "fight" the Apex Typhon. Would've been cool

>>376713759
they kind of foreshadowed it during the discussion between old Morgan, Alex and one of the scientist about the lack of empathy in their brain but Alex shut them down.

>>376705274
>Buying video games in Australia

>>376713759
>>376714342
I found it cooler that that senile old fuck was developing VR Looking Glass tech down at his room, nice foreshadowing, especially considering how good at tricking you Looking Glass is.

So what's your favorite "good" ending?

The nullwave one destroys the Typhon but keeps the neuromod researches a thing despite how terrible that was and you take the risk of the whole thing happening again.
Escape the station with the survivors before blowing it up, you take the risk of bringing the Typhon back to earth.
Blowing up the station with everyone inside is probably the best possible ending since it stops the Typhon completely and removes every risk of future outbreak.

So, how did the earth get fucked by typhon?

>>376714957
>So, how did the earth get fucked by typhon?
The only way that could happen is if the canon ending is using the nullwave transmitter didn't work, not all the Typhon are dead, and Morgan brought them back with him

>>376714957
Do you really believe that "Blowing up the station with everyone inside is probably the best possible ending since it stops the Typhon completely and removes every risk of future outbreak."
?

I mean, they DID get close to earth with the satellite once already, they most likely can teleport or somtheing, they can survive in space. I think it was just as much of a temporary solution as using the nullwave.

>>376715175
I'm sure it is possible some of the typhon survived the self destruct or managed to hide away/ attach on a ship. Its also possible another 'it' was on it's way over.

>>376714957
Nulwave and Morgan and Crew escape to earth. Government want it and continue its research. Too much and Typhon colonies end up attracted to Earth.

>>376715348
using the nullwave would save the research and possibly lead to people being more prepared for the next encounter

It's not pic related ;_;

Is this going to be a game where I'm gonna easily max out most every fun power? Looking at movement boosts, wrench upgrades, hacking/leverage, and a decent few alien powers- and fuck, do they cost a lot.

>>376715650
It was never going to be

>>376715515
You're forgetting that creating neuromods requires Typhon tissue.
Maybe, in an effort to mass produce neuromods, TranStar tries to contain and harvest WAY too many Typhon and they inevitably escape containment

>>376715783
as long as you take a moment to look around rooms and don't pass up obvious gear and mods laying everywhere you'll get more than enough for whatever it is you want to do.

What's the point of brain washing a single typhon? Are they a hive mind and I just missed it?
Also what happened to Morgan? Did he die during the outbreak after failing to blow up Talos, or use the nullwave?

>>376715650
You say like its a bad thing.

So what's with the ''glitch'' during post-credits where Alex dissapears for a split second? There are no humans left at all? Its the same type of Simulation Glitch that you can notice when you are in the helicopter.

You (the Typhon) are supposed to act as an ambassador between humans and Typhon. They figure that you'll be able to communicate with the other Typhon and negotiate peace

>>376715348
But is invading earth their actual end game?
It sounds to me like their just a virus spreading around space and Transtar doing researches on the sattelite infection brought their attention.

Also, what's the story with the volunteer shuttles going off radar for a few minutes every time they cross a certain distance from the station?

>>376716147
January mentions that they experience the same drives and emotions and conscious thoughts as humans, but the only thing they lack that humans have is empathy. That's why the point of the whole experiment (the game) was to teach you empathy

Nothing beats sneaking up to a Nightmare with full sneak upgraded, full shotgun upgraded, full slow mo upgraded and full security weapons upgraded and with the crit chance chip

and just three shotting it to death with your shotgun

>>376716358
That doesn't explain that choosing to kill them all (AKA defy the experiment) results in you skewering Alex in the heart. If he was a simulation, wouldn't attempting to kill him just cause his "hologram" or whatever to disappear?

>>376716375
didn't you listen? it was not for nothing, typhon communicating with humans is higher goal than saving a bunch of scientists

yup, it's like half life meets deus ex

How the fuck did January expect blowing up everything to work?
I mean, there is a good chance some of the typhoon would survive since space doesn't harm them. Plan Alex had was way better.

>>376717595
it's mini sun blowing up, nothing can survive that

>>376717595
He was just following his directives anon.

>>376717595
January was coded by Morgan at a time when he was going insane with constant installation/removal of neuromods
I'm guessing it was to give the Typhon who was being tested a sort of "you have no choice" feeling

Didn't one of the computer logs say that a theory on the mimics was that while they were "mimic'd" they went into a parallel dimension? What would stop them from doing that while the station blew up and just coming back after that.

That was a THEORY on how the mimics worked
They didn't actually know

>>376708675
Stun gun is OP and works on pretty much everything other than Voltaic Phantoms. Best use for Q-Beam is for finishing off those damn weavers. Had serious trouble with them before that. Now it's just Kinetic Blast and finish them off with Q-Beam. Throw a Psychoshock on them if you're worried about the fear effect.

>>376710480
Even if you don't do powers you use PSI for combat focus.

>>376708295
I played it on Nightmare and ended up with ~100 spare parts, ~50 of each material and a shit-ton of ammo for all weapons as well as 20 medkits and psi-hypos. I guess you need to limit yourself to no neuromods or something to make it kinda hard.

>>376718861
jsut psyhshock weavers from the start. It takes most of their health and all of their powers. Then blast once with a shotgun or hit'em with a pyroblast

So was Morgan an alien all along or became one because of all the neuromod experiments? Alex in the ending didn't treat Morgan like a sibling but more like a thing, an experimental object.

So is playing a sneak-crit shotgun build pretty much the best way to play? I don't wanna be gimped, but I feel like I'm missing a lot by failing to upgrade leverage/hacking/repair/movement

>>376721251
Well fuck me! I feel stupid for wasting all that 9mm ammo now.

>>376721147
>very resistant
Because of the glowing shield.
Psychoshock removes it.

>>376698076
I don't really know what the fuck game is worth 60 if these games aren't. Seriously, what the fuck.

>>376721147
You can either throw something or shoot that crossbow toy. The arrow is a physical object and they follow it.

>>376721147
Doesn't psychoshock count as a disable in terms of damage multiplier? Should probably use it on every big enemy.

>>376721278
Leverage is useless if you aren't using it in combat. You can always free your way with a recycler bomb.
Hacking up to 3 is very useful though. Repair - not so much.

>>376721407
I tried the crossbow in Talos exterior but they won't follow the bolts for some reason.

>>376721329
Hmm, might be because the first time I fought them the shotgun wasn't very effective so I just stopped using it even after I got Psychoshock. (Do the enemies get a ton more health/resistance on Nightmare? That might be it. Even lategame with crit and fully upgraded shotty it didn't seem to do that much damage unless the typhons were stunned)

>Dahl didn't come with humans equipped with neuromods
>Dahl didn't use his neuromods against you
Operators are boring to fight and have a very bland design.

>>376721425
Dunno, didn't usually get crits on Psychoshocked enemies. Did get crits on glued phantoms though.

>>376721407
Opening security booths with the crossbow was fun! And opening doors like the armory or the neuromod liscense office with it. I usully pick up hacking in these kinds of games, but this time I didn't and there were only a couple safes and terminals I couldn't get into.

>>376721023
But I want to support the Frenchies that made Dishonored and Bioshock 2. Not their fault Bethseda threatened to sue them for Arx Fatalis ripping off TES.

>>376721678
Hmm, alright, guess not then.

>>376698195
For the typhon, there are:
Mimics, greater mimics, phantoms, fire/voltaic/void phantoms, corrupted turrets, corrupted operators (all three types), Weavers, Technopaths, Telepaths, Poltergeists, Cystiod nests, Cystiods, and Nightmares

Was there any way to stop military operators spawning except from stunning and reprogramming the already existing ones?

>>376697630
It's a'ight. I'd say definitely worth 30 Yuropoors.

ANOTHER PLAYTHROUGH RUINED.

UAE isnt that bad. just a typical run of the mill tax haven, money launderer. Saudi is the terrorist sugar daddy.

>>376722858
You should have eliminated Kasper, idiot.

>>376722580
Yes.

Block the Operator Stations with physical objects so new operators can't be created.

>>376718234
That may or may not be true, but you can still kill Mimics while they're disguised so I don't think they could hide from the explosion that way.

Still, the footage from 1960 shows they can survive and move in space, so all it takes is for one to get shoved out the airlock, get to Earth, and kill one person to start shit up.

Boy this fucking place has changed.

Its good if you were one of those people who wanted a new System Shock. Its not for you if you wanted the original Prey 2 that was in development.

I've played through the game 3 times already and that never once happened to me. I was always able to make as many neuromods as I pleased, as soon as I picked up the fabrication plan. When does this happen?

>>376724456
Which one has all the memes?

>>376697630
This game reminds me so much of Resident Evil 1.

WHATS YOUR FAVORITE AREA

mine was Psychotronics

Lobby. Going down in that elevator and seeing Nightmare was the best moment in the game.
