Why the fuck are people comparing Prey to half life ? It is a

It's an immersive sim, stupid. It's comparable to System Shock and Deus Ex.

Who the fuck is comparing it to HL? Also it's not a survival or horror game, it's basically System Shock.

>It is rather comparable to resident evil
It's System Shock 2 you retard.

Half Life is comparable to uncharted. Both are on rails, cinematic trash.

Here is news for you retard, most people only played HL.

>>378138219
Headcrabs couldn't turn into coffee mugs.

Some people did it, then it spread, and once it reached critical mass this idea got a life of its own. It's a meme (the real definition of the word).

>>378137872
Because it's a first person shooter with aliens that's also scary at times, and it has a gun with a gimmick.

Is that really so hard to understand for your puny brain?

>>378138442
>>378138389
>generic research facility with alien monsters and memes

I was tricked into playing this garbage by the retards who kept saying it's like Half-Life. Feels more like Bioshock (and by extension System Shock), only with the standard modern FPS problem where the environments are way too detailed so my brain gets overloaded and I can't play for more than 30 minutes without getting a headache.

>>378138717
>>378138598
>>378138257
But the game plays nothing like Half-Life. At all.

>>378137872
Scientists, aliens, weird futuristic weapons, turrets you can pick up and place. Just to name a few things

>>378138823
>But the game plays nothing like Half-Life.
You shoot aliens with generic FPS guns and gimmick guns while going through a research facility. Probably has also puzzles. Sounds like Half Life.

>>378138598
It is first person but not a shooter
Same way RE7 is first person but not a shooter

>>378139008
>Probably has also puzzles
So you just admitted to not playing Prey and yet you talk like you know what the fuck you're talking about. I'll make it simple for you: Prey plays nothing like Half-Life.

>>378138767
>the game is garbage because I can't pay attention to too many things or I get a headache

Quit being a faggot bitch

>>378139106
I watched some walktrough. It looked nearly like it could be HL3 or HL remaster.
>HURR it doesn't play the same
It's still a fucking generic FPS with aliens. But it has now idiotic RPG elements where you collect crap and upgrade stats.

>>378139008
>probably also has puzzles

Okay bub

>>378139298
It's not just this game, it's modern game level design in general. Developers keep cluttering their levels with so much useless garbage it's hard to keep track in real time of what's important and what could be ignored, without simply ignoring everything and marching forward like a braindead casual. The old game instinct of examining everything and interacting with everything intractable becomes a detriment.

>>378139535

>>378139535
If you like System Shock and Bioshock then Prey is right up your alley.

>>378139351

>>378139660
Might give it a go then if its at least worth a crack, fuck all games coming out at the moment anyway.

It's barely a horror game. It has horror elements, but it ain't horror.

that said, it was pretty good, but went on just a tiny bit too long

end yourself

>>378139904
Just saying beating shit with a wrench doesn't make a game like half life.... Hell in half life you use a crowbar.

>>378139596
There are problems with the game. This is not one of them.

>>378140000
But if you pick up everything and get the upgrade that gives you 20% more recycling you can make like 20 neuromods after the first 2 areas

>>378140000
Nigga what? Do you not use the grenades? I was drowning in nueromods/ammo for practically the entire game.

>HL
No. It's a hybrid of both Bioshock and the newer Deus Ex games. Talos 1 to me feels very similar to Rapture and you have the wrench. The exploration and upgrade system feels like modern Deus Ex games, with slightly less crawlspaces.

Also, it's not a horror game. I'm a gigantic pussy who gets scared at games like Alan Wake or Bioshock, yet this game looses all tension as soon as you get the mimic scope. After that, the only time I jumped was in Life Support (I think) when you opened the Medbay doors and a body falls on top of you.

I did the straight moralfag end where I killed no humans, got no human powers, and had the highest empathy. I didn't intend to only grab human powers, but by the time they had introduced the typhon shit I already had a bunch of powers I wanted to grab before.

I plan on replaying it and doing the exact opposite. Some of those typhon powers sounded fun. Not being able to hack or lift shit sounds like a downer though.

By lategame (read: post Deep Storage) the only things that were any sort of threat were the Telepaths because of the huge fucking damage on their attack, and even then they were rare enough that I usually had a Nullwave to shut that shit down, and combined with the aforementioned stuff, I could easily delete them. Fuck fighting the fuckers on the Exterior, though. Pistol does shit for damage.

I honestly don't know what you're implying unless that they both use tools as a weapon or you're talking about the gearbox spin-off Opposing Forces

So do you think this means that the real Morgan Yu is dead, and that's why Alex is all weird and clingy with you throughout the game?

If you liked the story and horror atmosphere of the Shock games, you won't find it in Prey. If you want a mechanic reproduction of the original games with modern quality-of-life features, then you will like it.

>>378141572
>tfw your genes make machines work better

Is there a neuromod that makes a viabrator more effective? Asking for a friend.

>>378142267
It's alright.

How slow of a start is doing a typhon-powers only run? I feel like multiple hours had passed between the first time I grabbed a neuromod to the time where I unlocked typhon powers.

I wish there was some typhon powers for recycler efficiency or getting the exotic material. I'll probably end up just duping materials because I already played through legit.

>>378142267
It'd be a hell of a lot more compelling if it had a charismatic villain, instead of Benedict Wong doing cold reads.

>>378141913
For the first part, yes, but everything else is in a simulation so there's no reason why he'd be acting weird.

>>378140021
>literally doesn't understand the definition of pseudo

OKAY BUB

So what actually happened before the simulation? Obviously Alex survived, Morgan lived long enough to get his memories copied, and MAYBE Talos-1 is where the post-credits scene takes place, so the Typhon lobotomy had to have been how the incident ended. Did the Typhon get on Earth because the real Morgan didn't detonate the shuttle? Did Igwe and the others really exist?

I'm pretty sure they're alive and those Operators are their stand-ins or their method to facilitate communication with Alex. It's unlikely Alex is the only human left, so the others are probably wherever the remaining humans are.

We're obviously getting a sequel.

>>378146249
>We're obviously getting a sequel.

Don't be so sure. Prey isn't selling particularly well, and Dishonored 2 sold far less than the first.

>>378138767
you hit the nail on the head as to why i stopped playing after about an hour.

it was just way too much work to figure out where to go and get a feel for what the fuck the environment is. that plus shitty ice weapon then a nerf gun, thanks!

Casual.

It was way too buggy when I played it. I don't like being able to go through walls. Also

You're a retard if you think getting around is not a slog without fully upgraded agility and the jet pack boost. Also the idiotic slow traversal of the spacewalk, it's boring as fuck.

>>378147136
Anon, all neuromods are made from the Typhon.

>>378138108
This.
It's basically System Shock 3 with:
-better graphics
-obviously better gunplay
-more interactivity
-worse story
-worse design of enemies (black slimy godknowswhat that can take any form is kinda too generic for me, +same enemies with different colours)

Morgan isn't mute. Not only does he have a lot of voiced dialog but also death screams and pain sounds; something Freeman doesn't have.

>>378147518
Is there really nothing wrong having to spend neuromods early game just to not get bored in the downtime? Besides I do hold shift, it's still slow just to get around. Not to mention the waypoints are bad so you can be strung around for way too long. Spacewalk is way slower than it should be. Not to mention it takes any combat excitement out when you can spot the enemies from super far away.
