It got a lot of marketing. Problem it was misdirected marketing that told you very little about the game and was ultimately confused on the message it was conveying.

Good. Maybe devs will learn to actually commit to making good games rather than doing a cross between modern cancer and good games.

It's kinda sad. I thought the game was a 7/10. These kinds of games just don't sell well anymore.

>>377530592
They really aren't though, the tone seems to be call out an issue saying it's been fixed, or backhanded compliments. It's the kind of thing I'd expect a marketer to do to keep their posts under the radar.

>>377530739

I have honestly no fucking clue why anyone would watch TV in this day and age. The very few shows that matter you can just torrent.

TV is as outdated as the newspaper.

>>377531101
This. Bethesda really hurt the game by forcing Arkane to name it "Prey" and by that review policy.

>>377529990
Well it is the blandest of the bland games. Pretty dissapointing considering it's Arkane.

I mean, who would have thought that reading infodumps and collecting crafting materials would get old fast when it's neither a good shooter nor a stealth game.

>>377531120
Well yes, sp games that arent particularly long dont sell well when theres 100h+ open world games or f2p games that people play for 3k hours.

>>377531289
Its not even a reboot, it was its own game and Bethesda stepped in and forced them to name it Prey because it was an IP they owned

>>377531347
Arkane really needs to work on their storytelling to engage people who aren't creative with game mechanics and can't derive pleasure from. That's really what's holding them back and you can tell stories are not a priority for them.

It just got a little boring as it went on. I'm mostly a story fag, so I felt that the narrative was lacking a bit. It just felt like I was being led around the station by everyone unlocking doors. Gunplay was serviceable though.

>>377531648

>>377531464
Prey was definitely a step in the right direction, especially after the snoozefests that are Dishonored's stories. They can craft a world, but I've only ever briefly cared about Daud in their games. Whenever they try a regular narrative is when things get extremely dull.

>>377529990

>>377530635
Triple A game with the prey name long since held over, also steal gets 30% of all sales.

>>377531648
If you read the review you would've seen it was over a bug. Which most certainly did not deserve a four point lowering of the score.

Better weapon upgrades, no +5% stat bullshit.
Alternative ammo types or new firemodes unlocked via upgrades.
Or just add more weapons.

>>377533909
Maybe they shouldn't have half assed it while working for Bethesda and maybe people would care. Arkane is nothing more than a poor man's Looking Glass and nothing would be lost by them disappearing.

The new Hitman also had a shitton of bad decisions. I'm not going to reward bad decision making on the off chance something good might come from it later. Doing that doesn't make anything better.

Mankind Divided sold twice as much though on PC. The reason SE said it flopped was because it flopped on PC. Despite focusing on consoles and sabotaging the PC port to encourage console sales, Deus Ex STILL sold more on PC than the PS4 and Xbox One. That just proves consolefags never gave a shit about Deus Ex and SE drastically mishandled the property. Basically a repeat of Invisible War.

prey is a good game though

also 250k just for steam really isnt bad

>>377535550

For some reason there's been a lot of shitposting about Arkane lately and a lot of people want to see Bethesda kill them. It's bizarre since Dishonored 1 got a lot of attention here, then when Dishonored 2 was revealed shitposters latched on to the studio. Prey got even more shitposting because of the whole Prey 2 controversy, even though Arkane had nothing to do with that.

What advertising? I didn't even know it came out when it was released.

it doesn't look interesting at all

Prey is a generic name, it still was for the original name, and then they're using this game to keep the Prey IP name alive for copyright reasons, so you end up with a game that shits on the Prey fanbase, no matter how tiny it is, and it also tells you nothing about this game.

Seeing webms of Prey 2017 does nothing to me, people show how you can click on screens by shooting at a weapon and it just looks been there done that. Bioshock 2 had this with the gun that shot hacking devices, only difference is that now you aim at the button, but it's the same mechanic.

It is just an uninteresting game coming from a developer that has released some wishy washy games in recent times such as Dishonored.

Prey was cool. Lots to explore if you turn off the objective indicator. I'm glad they didn't go to bait a sequel or anything since it definitely seems we aren't getting one.

Pretty much every review says it's more fun to play on PC. That and iot seems like they didn't even beta-test the PS4 version because somehow they didn't realize the game had massive input lag.

>>377537350
Dark Messiah is grossly overrated around here. I gave it a try, found the combat to be shit, and the whole thing feels like a half assed HL2 mod, I uninstalled after 1 hour in.

I think Arkane actually achieved something with this game - I did not know that a faithful reproduction of SS2 could result in a bad game. I thought it would be at least mediocre, but it's just plain bad.

I'd give them props for basic mimic design if it wasn't blatantly lifted from that Cruise movie.

I really feel for OG Prey fans, and I understand if that's where a lot of the hate for the game comes from, believe me. As a big fan of looking glass and the games that came from those guys back before/after looking glass' runtime, I've been in these OG Prey fans' shoes tons of times. They didn't call dead space "System Shock 3", but thats what i was promised in the 2006 version of "dev blogs". Was a kick in the teeth, but what ds1 IS is a pretty good RE4-in-space game.

While Prey 2017 isn't perfect, it's a very, very good fpsrpg. I dunno why arkane is still making games in this dying subgenre but they've done a good job with this one apart from some obvious cut/edited content, some rushed questlines, and bugs/QoL which are supposedly being worked on.

spoilers ahead
If you think the postcredits scene was a cliche, you need to play it again or read a book or something. You honestly should have seen this coming a mile away even if you didn't take EP101 early, there is so much foreshadowing. Too much, honestly. Plus, it fits the philosophical/psychological themes in the game perfectly, and brings the Morgan character arc to a close, which is the only thing a rpg ending actually has to do.

>b-but your choices don't matter
they do change your postcredits scene, and imo they dont even have to do that to "matter". would they have mattered more if there was no post-credits scene? what about if the theory that Secret Location is another layer of sim is correct? i'd say "no", and "no". choices mattering, to me, is when your choice creates some kind of branch mid-game. feel free to disagree with that

>lmao shill
if its cool to encourage people to not buy a game cause you don't like it, then its cool to encourage people to buy a game if you do like it. y'all can dish that "shill" garbage but you throw a shitfit at the slightest hint of the inverse.

>>377537456
>no matter how tiny it is
The point is that the name "Prey" is just generic trash, on top of being confusing because there's already an existing game called Prey. It doesn't help the game at all.

>>377537529
I didn't liked the combat at first, but after some time I really enjoyed it. Maybe you should try for more than one hour? But of course, maybe it just isn't for you.

>>377537452
>the thing is they have said that though
So have a ton of other devs about their console pandering games. It's a marketing tactic to sell their games better on PC and has no basis in reality 99% of the time.

>>377537521
The console versions being shit does not mean the game wasn't designed for consoles. Console development ensures that none of the versions are good.

>>377535480
Bioshock 1 and 2 are decent enough desu.

>>377537868
I heard they used it so the Prey IP wouldn't be free use to anybody, they should have just ported Prey 2006 to mobiles, and gave this game a proper name instead of the confusing shit they went with.

>>377537959
still means this game has a generic sounding name, might as well call a shooter "Guns"

I didnt even know this game was coming out until a friend told me on Wednesday

>>377537631
Yeah they should have had every enemy killable with a wrench on the hardest difficulty with 0 cyber modules and no damage taken. Prey's enemy design is shit in comparison. You're a bandwagoner. SS2 is an extremely flawed game, only good for its time. Half the abilities are trash, hacking minigame is terrible especially after SS1's amazing one, the character creation process is one of the most unintuitive i've ever seen in addition to barely even mattering at all, etc etc etc

>>377529990
>mass amounts of marketing

>>377535849
They only spammed the shit out of it was on ESPN, which is utterly failing as a network because it is so goddamn shitty. The only reason I knew ads aired on it was from tvs blaring at a restaurant I went to.
http://fortune.com/2016/10/31/espn-subscribers/

People who have satellite are dropping the sports conglomerates like crazy, mainly because they realized a good bulk of the monthly bill was to pay for sports rights, while they aired terrible coverage of games and had idiots on talk shows most of the time.

So marketing was an utter flop. More random channels had shit like Mankind Divided on it (my father likes Blade Runner and asked me about it when he saw the commercial on FX), which makes that game's failure even worse.

>>377536227

Does getting a less than ideal ending prevent you from having fun? I've never understood this argument. If you want to use all of Dishonored's crazy lethal powers, what is stopping you from using them?

>Game that doesn't have the brand power of Doom or even Dishonored

>Bethesda pulls the "kek, no review copies before launch cause we're super special flakes like that. Potential buyers don't need to know if it's good. It's called Prey! Like that other game!"

Bethesday really needs to stop sabotaging their own games.

The only sincere problem i have with the game is all the npc voices sound like they're recorded in a closet.

>>377529990
I liked it faggot.
It was only like $35 on Ruskie key sites too.

>>377538254
I live in a pretty well populated area but there is only one gamestop and it is 7 miles out of my way. There were quite a few commercials for it especially on adultswim which is about all the tv I watch.

>>377538056
Because Bethesda was sitting on the name, the IP. They had a time limit and if they did not use it by that time, they would have to either pay for the IP again or give it up.

Arkane came to them and said "Hey, we have this sci-fi game that will be a spiritual successor to games like the Shock series, but different. Like Dishonored to Thief."

To which Bethesda gave them the green light and agreed to provide funds to publish it, but only if they called it Prey.

I feel a good portion of Arkane's issues stem from Bethesda pressure.

>>377538456
>SS2 is an extremely flawed game, only good for its time. Half the abilities are trash
It's certainly a bit of a step down from 1, but it's a perfectly reasonable title that obviously ran out of money towards the end. It's still a solid 8.5/10.

Abilities that are useless are always a good thing, it encourages you to at least think about where you're putting your modules.

Are you guys actually happy about Prey "flopping" or just memeing?

Well BioShock 2 had a decent morality system since there were two main variables and a neutral ending.

>>377538880
This is very likely. It's worth noting that we knew about the SS2 shit literally 3 years ago, so real prey fans were NOT blindsided by arkane's prey game. Anyone saying that is a shitposter, should've complained 3 years ago and you didn't.

Doom does make sense and stands out, all the hell imagery and themes in the series, and Halo is tied to the ring/halo of the franchise. Both names tell a lot more about the each franchise than "Prey" does to this. What's it about, you're preying on the aliens, or they're the prey? It tells me nothing about what the game is about.

Of course. You have 2 choices, blow up the station and kill dozens of innocent survivors, or use the magic bomb and save everyone. There's also 2 bonus endings, where you either flee by yourself in an escape pod, or murder every single person on the station with your bare hands.

None of it matters anyway, because the whole game is just a simulated test to see if you can empathise with humanity, because you're actually just an alien. Everything you did is meaningless, and you get a final choice between killing everyone or shaking hands.

MASS EFFECT 3 flopped - pretty much the end of AAA RPGs other than CDPR releasing one game per 4 years, no willing publishers

Also I've seen far more threads shitting on the game than praising it. Probably made by people that doesn't even like the genre or thinks that all the games in them are as bad as Bioshock Infinite.
You fucks will make any excuse to avoid playing something you might actually like or just are bored enough to shit on it anyways.

As far as I can tell this game barely had any marketing or any hype, it wasn't presented as something to get hyped in any conference or big announcement. The only thing I saw about it in a big event was when it was revealed and that was just quite a meh teaser.
You just feel good bullying the few people that played it don't you.

>>377538456

It's shit, moral choices are much more nuanced than HURR GOOD HURR BAD.

You see a bunch of money dropping from a man's back pocket, he doesn't realize he dropped it, it's just you and him so nobody around to grab it and it's a lot of money, what do you do? At least three possibilities

>you tell him he dropped his money
>you ignore his money
>you pocket his money

At least three choices in this simple example, the middle one is arguably also a bit bad because you could've helped him but chose to be indifferent to his possible troubles. Games with this dualistic moral system ignore the fact that when it comes to moral choices, you actually have many of them, sometimes you have multiple evil choices, just as there are different levels of wickedness to people, you have people who just murder, you have people who torture then murder, you have people who torture, murder, and then taunt the family of the victim with calls, and so on.

This GOOD EVIL 2 moral choices is terrible and overly simplified. It was terrible in Bioshock, Bioshock 2, Dishonored and still is fucking simplistic garbage if it's in Prey 2017.

Moral choices are much more nuanced and varied than 1 good choice, 1 evil choice.

>>377539592
I didn't even mind the journey, but most of it was just so clear-cut. A game that was more morally ambiguous would have been more interesting.

I also think the concept of putting the player in the shoes of an alien experiencing what it is to be human is just fundamentally misguided. I know it's far too much to expect from shit writers, but it would have been more interesting to see an alternative perspective, make the main character a human who has been thrust into a completely alien physiology to try and make sense of it all. Maybe the aliens are only killing people because that's how their species communicates.

Prey is the best example this year of a game hurted by poor marketing.
Also, sales figures are not too bad given it's coming after the disaster that was Dishonored 2 on pc, the game is selling on consoles and will continue to sell for a while since it's more of sleeper hit.

fuck anyone that's ever accused someone on a fucking anonymous internet shitpost repository of shilling; you're human garbage and i do not respect any opinions you might hold.

prey's a decent game that had a shitty advertising campaign. it's a little bland, and enemy variety is lacking. the nightmare's too stupid and too weak to really play the role it's meant to in-game. the recycling system, while novel, lets you just transmute whatever you have too much of into whatever you need, trivializing resource management.

To be fair, I'm pretty sure if I played Prey and SS2 right after one another at the age of 12, in either order, I would think they were about as scary as each other, both be atmospheric, and the scariest enemy would be the Mimic. I can't see it going down any other way. Prey's dynamic music is the equivalent of a chronic premature ejaculator though and that is a huge problem for its immersion, I'll admit.

And many of /v was and are still shitting on them

>>377531969
No they're no, the game was on the inside cover of NME you idiot.

If The Evil Within gets a sequel of all games I'm pretty sure Arkane Prey will be safe and sound

>>377541964
/v/ doesn't hate the developer who made Arx Fatalis and Dark Messiah, shitbird. I'll talk shit about Magical Ninja Superhero games pretending to be stealth games all day long but I've never seen anyone here diss Arkane.

>>377529990
I think the game is pretty good. I don't get where the hate comes from.

You're not better than any of them desu senpai

>>377542452
I'll be the first for you then: Dishonored is an okay-mediocre game, only level design is done well, combat is trash and stealth feels barebones, Dark Messiah is also grossly overrated around here, it really has a shitty combat system. Never played Arx Fatalis or Dishonored 2 so can't judge those. Arkane seems to have a thing for making mediocre games from what i've played from them.

>>377542532
fucking THIS. If anything, old games had much more shit in the UI

>>377542662
Well Dishonored is pretty crap. They should have made it into a stealth game. You shut your whore mouth about kick simulator not being great though.

>>377540061
I'd argue the Dishonored series has moral ambiguity based on non-lethal decisions.

For instance in the first game, some nonlethal choices are brutal. Like the twins, the nonlethal choice was to shave their heads, cut out their tongues, and be forced to work in their own mines for eternity. Whereas the other option is a quick assassination. In the party level, your target is knocked out and given to a man who is obsessed with her to a creepy extent, who plans to imprison her in his home.

Same with some stuff in 2. Jindosh the scientist you could either kill mercifully or make into a bumbling retard, who is still very aware he used to be a genius. Wouldn't simply assassination be less cruel?

You can have 2 decisions and still have a feeling of agency in the game. Witcher does this extensively, showing how binary choices can have ambiguity

>>377541910

>>377529990
I can't remember the last time I bought a single-player story driven game at its full price. I'll eventualy buy and play this, along with the new Tomb Raider, but vidya industry's new state changed me so I can't convince myself to pay 60 fucking dollars on a new game if it's not replayable like BF1, Civ 6 or OW.

Don't hate me, hate the jewery that is vidya industry.

They should've called it Psycho Shock or something like that, because it's basically System Shock 3, instead they have triggered Prey 2 (which looked like garbage, by the way) babbies and of course, /v/, ignorant contrarians clinging to old shit to fit in.

>>377542935
I have never owned a laptop. Have most people even owned a laptop?

It was okay. Still wish it wasn't called "Prey", but then I'd probably just ignored it because of modern beth.
Calling it "next System Shock" is stretch of course, especially since it has less depth than Bioshock, still, I was genuinely surprised how much I enjoyed it. There is a lot of thing that need work, like lack of weapons and alt. ammo, lack of enemy variety and their utter harmlessness, maybe expand Talos a bit (it does seems like a real place, I give devs credit for it). Also it could use a bit less PC shit, like chief of security and some of the guards being negresses (I mean is 2035 or whatever, so come on people, maybe they can not act like chimps) or that lesbian couple, there could be any other story in its place, but devs chose to put a gay love story.

>>377533909
>the failure of the greatest Hitman game to date.

They did it to themselves by making it episodic with unnecessary always online DRM -on top of- Denuvo. Meanwhile Absolution, despite being cracked and pirated on day 1 sold nearly 3x as many copies. I love the latest Hitman evenmorso than Blood Money but there was no way I was going to pay anywhere near full price for an single-player game that I can't even own and it relies on an always online connection to play properly. That shit deserved to fail.

>>377542814

/v/ is consistently wrong about everything.

I stopped using table top PC's since 2008 or something similar.

It's on PS4 and XBONE you retard where it probably sold 10x more combined.

>>377542915
Pretty much.
Dishonored choice weren't really moral choices in the sense people see it. It's not about how nice you're to the target since every outcome is bad. It's what happens to the city, more corpses more rats, more disease, more dead. But nothing you do is morally right.

>>377530426
both are good games

do you know how strikeouts work?

>>377543252
I never said Dish 2 was shit. I never played it. I'm a fucking meganerd for stealth games and I ain't fucking with what faggots consider to be stealth these days.

>>377543148
I haven't talked to a normal bloke or girl who didn't own one

>>377542814
>should have made it into a stealth game.
You can stealth or rampage, not really following you. Sometimes I'd replay missions going full-on assault, sometimes not.

Since when did it become trendy to shit on flexible gameplay choices?

>>377543052
>if you take anyone on this website at their word

>>377543378
>never played it
>shits on a game mechanic he never experienced.

Why even waste time typing? The stealth is fine compared to pretty much any other modern stealth if you don't play on easy.

>>377542915
It's just a mockery of decisions when you have those either kill or spare, you could do so many things, games like Fable where your choices are help the poor villagers or butcher them, this is a mockery of moral choices that Dishonored and Bioshock games also do. If you want a morality system, at least come up with something substantial rather than this binary crap.

Moral choices unlike genders aren't limited to 2, you can keep a person alive and destroy his reputation or kill him in 100 different ways that differ in efficiency and sadism. You can also help a person in 100 different ways, some to also promote yourself like posing for pictures when you're at a charity, or do it without people knowing, again 2 choices is just an extremely simplified moral choices system, it's the bare minimum of the bare minimum. It's making a shooter with a melee weapon and a gun, it's shallow.

That DnD moral system where you have multiple kinds is more like it, having only 2 choices is too limiting for me and not a good moral system at all. I mean if you're going to make one, why make it so limited and boring, you're either a saint or the most evil person? This is dumb on so many levels.

>>377543287
No Xbone/PS4 version has sold 10x more combined while being released simultaneously on PC

>>377543649
He was talking about Dishonored 1 which he played, not 2 which he didn't play. You jumped to conclusions by mentioning 2 in the first place.

>>377543176
Danielle's plot was chopped to bits multiple times and moved from deep storage/lobby/crew to a single forced mainquest segment in only crew quarters probably cause playtesters failed to handle an objective spanning multiple decks with no objective marker. It ruins her character arc but you can still kind of piece what they were going for together if you scrounge the ship for every bit of Sho log and email. The specific stuff they decided to shove into crew quarters makes the whole thing feel very forced and stupid but I have a feeling that's because of cutcontent or, more specifically, just the way they edited the mission structure for the final "cut" of the game.

Like why didn't Sho just re-enter an airlock? I'd say it's cause the original quest had Alex lock down the ship during that scene. Also why is Sho still alive 2, 3, 10, infinity gameplay hours later to tell you about Subject 37? It's all fishy, I say.

>>377543257
>table top PC's

>>377542662
I stand by what I said about Dark Messiah, the combat of that game is fucking terrible, and the game was scripted sequences out of the ass with the town attack, while looking like a glorified Half-Life 2 mod.

>You can also help a person in 100 different ways
Sure you can. But you can't write, program, design and voice act 100 different ways. Choices are already a big problem when developing games since you're wasting resources for 2 things while the average player will only ever experience one. Adding more choices is simply financially not feasible for most AAA games.

>>377543671
It isn't a morality system as >>377543308 states, nor is it simplistic as Bioshock.

But you can kill Jindosh in so many ways. Behead his own clockwork soldier which kills him in a frenzy. Sneak up on him without him aware you ever entered his mansion. Slit his throat. Shoot him. Lure him to a place where you have a switch and can have his moving walls crush him. There is a video on YouTube titled "80 ways to kill Jindosh"

>>377543649
Dude. You can't even tell if you're hiding in shadows. There's no stealth mechanic at all. It's a fucking ninja superhero game, not a stealth game.

Then do not include moral choices if it's going to be so shallow. If it's going to be half-assed, it's better to not have it at all.

>>377544034
I didn't play Dishonored 2, I'm talking about the first game and the game makes it pretty clear in the end that your choices affect the girl's moral compass. If you murder a lot she becomes a ruthless ruler. Sounds like evaluating the player choice to me.

I knew this shit was odd; who the fuck on /v/ would defend and praise a game, by comparing it to a better game? If it is a good game, then it's a good game that can stand on its own. That's just giving yourself away as newfag or worse, a shill. That's just shitting the bed. Instead of playing a copy that tries to be better than the original JUST PLAY THE ORIGINAL. Copies cannot be better than what they are mimic'ing, simply because you can only do it first once.

Yes you can, Crack in the Slab when you have no powers makes this very apparent with lighting and AI noticing you.

In the garden where you knock out the mine owner to change time, I could hang to a wall illuminated and be spotted. On the opposite side if I stuck to the shadows the same guard never noticed me.

There are whale oil and wind powered spotlights that will shoot canons at you if the light picks you up.

I played on hard and the hardest difficulty, maybe things are different in easy. But you can definitely tell where the shadows are

you can load a gun in so many different ways than just pressing R and watching a little cutscene. if it's going to be half-assed, it's better to just have every weapon be a baseball bat.
