SO SO FAST THE SAILING SHIPS

>>377488449
so I bought this game last night. Played for 3 hours and enjoying it, runs ok on my machine but there's some seriously bad texture pop in. Textures like paintings, statues and doors don't load and look all blurry until you go right up to them. Is this a known bug, is anyone else having this problem?

>>377488823
I have a 970 and everything looks great, the pop in happens very rarely and only in the distance.
Game runs at 60 at all times.

>>377488823
What card you have?
Pop-in occurs if the settings exceed your cards VRAM amount and they have to load them every time you get within distance. Try the low setting and see if pop in still persists.

>>377488972
I've got a 960, so that's probably the issue, I'll lower the settings. Thanks.

>>377489034
I have a 960 too. Turn down to low and it runs great. It doesn't look half bad either.
It ran OK for me on a mix of high and low but pop in was unbearable.

>>377488823
I once had an issue where no texture would load in its full quality. It was fixed by restarting, but still strange, considering I have 1070.

>>377488449
Can we agree that Prey is better overall than any of the Bioshocks?

>>377489343
Bioshock 2 beats it by having significantly better gameplay

>>377488449
so what are some of the essential skills to max out early? I'm thinking hacking, lifting and neuromod crafting.

Oh great another prey thread with two guys arguing over Bioshock 2.

So bethesda fucked up big time now. No advertising, no review copies and denuvo Way to shoot yourself in the foot.

>>377489510
Leverage, hacking, necropsy, gunsmith

>>377489343
For the most part yes.

I'm a sucker for the first game's Rapture, Prey matches the world building, but I liked the heightened over-the-top insanity of the characters like Steinman and Sander Cohen.

As far as gameplay and level design, Prey wins and it's not even close.

>Morgan gets up in the morning

also I came into this game completely blind I was really surprised when your apartment wasn't real

Is there any benefit to clearing the room full of gas in Deep Storage? I just jumped out the airlock as soon as I stopped the shutdown

>>377489665
its already been cracked fag
t. pirate 7 hours in

>>377489931
Yeah, but >muh denuvo, damage is already done.

Reminder that leverage is wasted neuromods, and that you should use recycler grenades instead.

Reminder that backlash is for COD fags that want to run and gun through entire maps.

Also if you're not using psychoshock, you're gimping yourself. A max rank psychoshock with the 2 psychoscope upgrades for it can 1 hit mimics, 2 hit regular phantoms, leave upgraded phantoms relatively defenseless for a long period of time, and does great instant damage along with silencing weavers, telepaths, and nightmares for the length of time it takes to kill them. All of this costs 25 PSI points, which you're swimming in once you do the PSI water side quest. It's a go-to ability for anything that's not a robot

So
Your a mimic right?

>>377490171
What are these effects of denuvo?

>wasted neuro

>>377489835
Holy shit me too, that's why I try to not watch all the gameplay footage and trailers and shit so I can go into games completely blind and be surprised by everything. Breaking through the window in the apartment and realizing I was on a space station was one of my favorite moments in the game

Nah fuck off

>>377490325
People do not support games that use denuvo? ex
>lol denuvo not buying

>>377490428
I smashed the fish tank in the hallway, thought it was weird that it was only a video and then crawled out the hole to realise I was on a set. Didn't even occur to me to break the glass door.

Holy shit I didn't even think about breaking that

>>377488972
I got 1070 and there are still some pop ins

Butter smooth 60 except for the core, which is even smoother 5 fps when looking down to the "ground level"

>>377491019
Your game sounds hella smooth and silky my man.

>>377489835
I feel like they should have extended it a little bit. Waking up only twice before THE THING happened was too fast

>>377490206
i didnt get psychoshock specifically because it seems overpowered

>for 10 seconds minimum enemies cant use powers

thats ridiculous, games already pretty easy

>>377491248
The Psi abilities are pretty much just dogshit. Get combat focus and upgrade the shotgun. Don't need to disable anybodys shit, you just maim nightmares.

>>377490206
leverage is not a waste if you plan to actually throw things at enemies

>>377490443
I got rank 1 lev because I needed it to cheese the medical room in the lobby early on. Otherwise you don't use it enough to justify it. Along with that, throwing stuff doesn't slow down time like a neuromod ability does to let you aim it.
>>377490443
>shotcuck logic
The more ability damage you do, the less resources you're spending on ammo, which means you'll have more neuromods overall
>>377490946
Those abilities are so fun, and normally I'm the one who goes full wrench builds in Bioshock whenever possible

i branched out a lot just to experience everything. i mean you dont really need to minmax at all.

>>377491521
>Psi abilities are pretty much just dogshit
I maxed out superthermal and kinetic blast. This shit is cool. And that's it but these two are really usefull.

Solid game, 7.5.

It's no Bio/System Shock but it's enough to scratch the itch. I'm on board for whatever Arkane wants to try next, which is apparently another FPS but with more focus on branching narrative. For the most part it felt shoehorned into this one.

I got back into cargo bay, saw the nightmare, one of the guards was like "We're screwed", I jsut used combat focus and put some shells into the nightmare and it was dead in second without nay casualty.

>>377494537
What was up with that ring? There's also one that drops from Mikhaila.

>>377494762
If you talk to a guy in cargo bay he asks you to find out what happened to his wife. The phantasm splattered by the couch in that webm is the wife.

Guy who posted the webm: I never got the quest, had the ring but couldn't get the fucking husband to give me his damn quest.

>>377494857
When you stop being a pleb.

How do you fight Technopaths properly? I feel like EMP grenades don't last enough to counter their explosion spam and stun gun just doesn't deal damage quick enough.

>>377494979
Is your stun gun upgraded? That might help against the Technofucks.

>>377494975
Probably a bugged trigger if you have the ring before accepting the quest or if you talk to him after finishing the defense event.

>>377491232
yeah, some people didnt realize it was supposed to be some sort of ground hog day thing.

>>377494979
Stun Gun upgrades. You hit them once and they become stunned. Then you just keep charging your gun and shoot at them while theyre completely helpless.

how do you fight weavers?
im not using any psi abilities. tell me how can i beat these fucks just with the regular weapons, up to the shotgun

>>377494979
combos

stun them with disruptor gun, if upgraded it also deals decent amount damage. then q-beam that fucker while it's stunned

>>377494979
If it's up high then use the gloo gun. If it's high enough it'll plummet to the ground and shatter

Maxing Leverage and splattering AYYs with the environment was one of the better choices I've made this year.

>>377495185
Combat focus and shotgun makes them very easy. If you don't have it, get it. Can also try a nullwave on them but that won't stop their frantic movement.

So the real Morgan Yu.

Dead? On Earth?

>>377495295
Likely died at some point and they extracted his memories as a mod

>>377489510
Max out inventory space early. You'll be able to collect a lot of things quickly and craft more mods as a result.

Where the fuck is Josh Dalton? When I arrived in GUTS I had to switch my Crew Search Target to get the Keycard for Shuttle Bay and I haven't been able to find him on the Security Stations since.

I found an Audio Log about him doin some shady shit and his tracker bracelet bein in the GUTS which updated my journal but now I don't have any fucking marker and searching for shit in Zero Grav is a bitch.

>>377495536
No, just a bit different line of dialogue.

You'll only get the bad ending if you kill everyone on the station.

The left side of the crew station computer doesn't mean the target's location, but their place of occupation. He's in a different category than GUTS, but you can put a marker on him.

But even then he's a bitch to find.

I'm getting the slight suspicion that Telepathy is useless.
I tried to access some PC's with it but I'm not sure if it even works because every single time I tried the game decided I wanted to read the Book on the same desk instead no matter how hard I centered the screen so I just went back to my Nerf Gun.

It's alright for Buttons I guess but again: Bowgun. I guess I can safe some precious GLOO Ammo by fixing electric junctions without stopping them first?

As funny as it was disabling the bomb and watching him laugh himself to death, this was a really anticlimactic ending to a really awesome side quest. Up to that part the whole thing was really well done: the moment when you go to his quarters and you realize that this guy is definitely not Will Mitchell, that moment where he locks you in a freezer and you learn what he did to Abby, all the taunting and traps he leaves you across the ship. I was fully expecting a mini-boss showdown with him where he holes up in some big auditorium or something with a bunch of traps and hacked turrets and shit and you had to work your way over to him to kill him, or he drops several Typhon lures and you have to fight off a bunch of phantoms and a nightmare or two to get to him. Instead we get him setting one final trap for you and then just dying quietly in a pod. I dunno, just totally expected a more thrilling climax to an otherwise great side story

>>377496848
Whelp i guess i shouldn't have killed him when he invited me to a TOTALLY NOT A TRAP. Why the game punishes you for not beign retarded

Q beam seemed to work well for me.

What do I do about those two mind controlled guys in the Greenhouse? The only way to save them is to use that mimic power that releases mind control?

Lure the Psychoblob outside (through the ceiling) and kill it.

>>377500432
That will release them from control?
Because I've stumbled upon that guy in quarantine and his head exploded when opened the door. No telepath nearby.

recycling inventory space immediately. necropsy soonish, but the neat thing about prey is that if a corpse has any material or item left in it, it persists so you can come back to it later if you need to yank out more guts.
