absolutely nothing

>>378628542
It wasn't supposed to be called Prey, that made their own game like Dishonored, but at the end of development Bethesda offered Arkane the Prey IP name after sitting on it (also after stealing it from Human Head). I'm sure the Arkane marketing sector pressured the Creative Lead to take the name on for increased $$$

Small FOV...

Full of QTEs...

Full of text on the screen...

Combat and movement feels "plastic"...

Bad and boring story...

I really wanted to see the REAL Prey 2, with the bounty hunter in a city like Blade Runner. That would have been AMAZING.

Instead we got a shitty console game that still made money, because of some shady marketing tactics, and a dumb consumer base.

The only people who dislike this game are people who haven't even played it and were hoping for a real Prey sequel.

I agree that it shouldn't have been called Prey in the first place but it's actually a great game.

It was a good game

Still haven't beat it and I'm 20 hours in. The only complaint I have so far is the lack of guns but the alien powers more than make up for it

>>378629029
you're wrong on half of those points objectively and as for the combat and story you have PLEN shit taste nigger

>>378629029

I'm eight hours or so in and I'm pretty sure there hasn't been a single QTE.

Also the game is great so far, possibly the best LGS-wannabe since the original Deus Ex.

How do I turn off individual elements of the HUD? Dishonored and Dishonored 2 had this feature, why the fuck doesn't Prey have it?

>>378629384
I've encountered around 5 QTEs in 40 hours of gameplay, when a greater mimic jumps on your face and you have to fight it off.

Game is 10/10

>>378629384
Just lol at those kids born in 2006 that compare he game to Deus Ex or System Shock. You're too young to even know those games lmfao.

Of course you'll like it, because the only other games you played were Call of Duty, Far Cry Primal, Halo, or Gears of Wars... so as soon as something "different" comes out, it has to be good, right?

Pathetic console kids. Getting hyped for games because of marketing.

"Oh look, there's a Prey ad with some catchy Rihanna song playing on Youtube right before my video... I'm so pumped! Game looks good, gonna pre-order it, and then try to convince myself that it was a good purchase, even tho it wasn't"

Typical casual players in 2017. It's sad that this board is full of them.

It's one of the best games in recent years.

what the fuck are you even on about

my friends and I who have played through deus ex/system shock 1-2/thief 1-2 many times and often play new thief gold mods together loved prey and thinks it's definitely a step up. no need to be butthurt because bethesda published a good game.

Keep talking kid. Lying won't make your comments any more believable.

>>378630386
one attack move of one variant of one of the enemy types in the game does not equate to "full of QTEs"

I hope this shit game flopped.

>>378630386
Which must have only happened twice in my entire playthrough.

Its not bad but I really don't like that it has nothing to do with the original Prey. There was no reason for them to re-use the name besides marketing.

So what went right?

It doesn't mean there are no QTEs then. So shut your damn mouth.

It's like me playing Oblivion and picking a TANK melee character in the beginning...

And then saying that Oblivion has no magic powers or ranged mages in it, at all.

I just got a patch for my PS4, looked at the patch notes....still no fix for the drifting

I submitted a ticket about this on day 1, bethesda customer service is great, they get back to you within 6 hours, they said it was a known issue and being worked on.

WTF has gone wrong with the gaming industry where they release buggy as fuck games.
I have not seen a AAA game in years be released without day 1 patches and full of bugs.

Damn I remember the days when only PC games ever got patched and that was 6 months down the line.

>>378630730
Nobody said it did it have QTEs you dribbling tard we were disputing the fact that it was "full of QTEs" which it so clearly isn't

>>378630726
nah, it was good

but I'm glad the sequel got scrapped because it looked like a bland park open world game with a literal who beanie protagonist, not a worthy sequel to a great fps with a unique native american protag

>>378630386
Why are you always having greater mimics jumping on your face? Are you really that bad at the game that it becomes filled with these QTEs?

>>378630730
Your argument was that it's FILLED with QTEs. No one said it didn't have QTEs, only it isn't filled with them. Jesus Christ, I find the game to be a bore myself but you're goddamned stupid.

>>378630825
how oblivious are you? There hasn't been a single AAA game read to go on release date in literally years

>>378629471
that isn't a qte it's just a game mechanic anon.
If you want to go on like that you might aswell say every game is a qte as you have to press buttons to do things

>>378630849
then people should really get over it then. I can acknowledge and understand complaints about lack of enemy/weapon variety, story, etc. but bitching about the games name is just asinine

underage faggot, you couldn't even finish bloodlines without a patch

Still puzzles the fuck out of me how, in a engine that does that 'looking glass' effect flawlessly, they couldn't do mirrors.

Plus even though the Prey branding was Bethesda's idea, it would have been neat if they could have included the wallwalking. At least in the zero-gravity sections.

>>378630847
>>378630906

That's the whole point of my argument. It's all a question of perception based on how YOU play the game.

If you play it in a certain way, you won't see QTEs... if you play it in another way, you'll see plenty of them.

You might have missed them, but it doesn't remove the fact that the game is full of them.

>>378631262
If you can play the game without encountering them, then it's hardly filled with QTEs anon.

>>378629964
q. bait

>>378631262
If you play the game by allowing enemies to walk right up to you without defending yourself then yes you're punished with QTEs

I've run through this game 3 times with 3 different builds and saw a total of maybe 10-15 separate QTE events

Nothing went wrong, it was a fine game. But apparently if a game doesn't stir up a shitload of controversy these days then something went wrong.

how the fuck is mashing 1 button to get an enemy off of you a QTE.
It's like you miss the point of what a QTE is.
Shenmue was a game full of QTE's
this is just a game mechanic to get an enemy off of you.
Next you will say track and field is QTE;s because you have to mash buttons to run.

Nothing worse that retards who blame others for their choices.

>>378631262
>but it doesn't remove the fact that the game is full of them.
It has to be a fact first. The game has nothing "QTE" besides the greater mimics. And you'd have to play really terrible to have the game be full of them.

>>378631524
>You knew its Bethesda game
it's an Arkane game, a company whose games wre known for meticulous detail.
I played the demo and this issue was not there despite people saying there was input lag on PS4, which i did not experience.

>>378628542
I loved the game. I went in completely blind, haven't seen a trailer, anything, didn't know what it was all about.
The start blew my mind and it scared the shit out of me. It actually took me a while to figure out that it was bioshock.
Loved the station, it was awesome.
The game was really fun for me, and it was moderately challenging for a couple of hours.
The amount of detail in regards to the activity of the station and the people that lived there is really good. All the relationships, activities, interests.
Gameplay can let you be very creative.
Loved the story and ending.
GOTY so far for me

>>378631507

>>378631507
>has a PhD and still gets basic expressions wrong
Must have been social sciences or some shit. I honestly don't understand how you can equate a single type of 'QTE' (by your definition of a QTE, anyway) that can be avoided depending on how you play into the game being FILLED with them. Is a game FILLED with menus because you can press Start/Esc at any time and be greeted with a pause menu?

>>378631521
That does look fuckin' annoying.

>>378631521
Holy shit, I thought that drift was something on my end or something because I rented the game and my PS4 and controller are ancient.
It was so annoying in parts that I'd quit playing for awhile.

>>378629964
I'm 32, game since I was 4, started with atari. Played deus ex and system shock and most games you can think off as "good".
Prey is an excellent game.

>>378631632
>known for meticulous detail

Lol.

That's why they released an unfinished Dishonored 2. And it took them 1 month after release to fix it. They don't even care, since they already made profit with all the pre-orders thanks to their marketing. They could have shipped you an empty box, and they would have still made money lol.

Dumb fucks.

What kind of fucking retardation is that?

I liked it, but it's not my kinda game. Too much textual exposition with emails etc. And the story was garbage.

>>378630386
It happened only once for me and it's not a QTE.

>>378631882
Dishonored 2 has performance issues but it's solid, content-wise. It has an absurd amount of detail. Performance is ass and Arkane/Beth should be burned for using the shit engine and not bothering to patch the game.

>>378630597
It's a common, generic name. Stop being so buthurt about it.

I know it's supposed to be "blah blah it's about the journey not the destination" but holy shit that ending was obnoxious.

>>378631975
then no one should have expected Prey to not also have performance issues out of the box since Arkane has a history of fucking up releases

>>378631754
>>378631840

it only drifted left or right too.
Still they should have fixed it by now.

>>378631882
>That's why they released an unfinished Dishonored 2
There was virtually nothing wrong with dishonored 2 at all. 1 noticeable frame drop in the 2nd mission opening cutscene.
I suppose you are talking about hardware optimization on PC, which in of itself is not the games issue, it's not bugs, it;s drivers and hardware issues that are not solely the developers responsibility.
Again look at dishonored 1 and 2;s attention to detail, and PREY;s attention to detail.
this issue is an obvious programming issue though.

>>378631863
>Using "game" as a verb

>>378629002
being a jaded cunt is a fine trait

>>378630730
Mashing a button to get rid of an enemy is not a QTE. And even if it si (which is not) how is that a bad thing when is used correctly. You talk about the damn thing like it's a sin. Get over it, we are not playing god of war anymore.

>>378632069
the ending is fine if there is a sequel in the works but yeah complete garbage if this is a one time thing

>>378630386
43 hours and I've never once had that happen.

The poster you replied to. I played Thief and SS2 at release, SS1 and the Ultima Underworlds afterwards, I consider all these games to be among my all-time favorites. Almost all gaming done on a PC, though I keep a PS4 for some exclusives. Gaming has recovered a bit since the shitshow when everything went multiplat after 2002 or so. Deal with it.

>>378631632
And who is Arcane owned by for last 7 years? Bethesda.
Same Bethesda thats infamous for refusing to do QNA, who refuses to send out review copies and which always rushesh products to release. Dishonored 2 release was a fucking disaster yet somehow Prey 2 was supposed to be different?
I have no sympathy for anybody who complains about Bethesda games being buggy, ether dont buy it or fuck off.

>performance issues out of the box
it doesn't have performance issues.
I never noticed frame drops, It has long load times which is to be expected for the amount of details. and screen tear which seems to be quite common on consoles now anyway ( with no vsync options available yet)
the drifting is the only main issue

Are issues with items disappearing from your inventory fixed yet?

>>378631507
You have a Phd? yes please, put it aside, you are embarrassing yourself and all academics out there.

>>378632093
Yeah, I got to that point where I'd expect the drift and preemptively tap a direction so the fucking reticule would hold still when I did. I'm kind of relieved that it's a problem with the game and not my shit, I wasn't looking to drop sixty bucks on a new controller.

>>378632151
As much as the ending pissed me off, I'd play a Prey 2 for sure. The game was solid but the story needed some more finesse.

>>378631975
Who cares if it has a good-story (btw it's not even good) if the game doesn't even run properly?

Having low FPS and stuttering is one thing...

But having your game crash out of nowhere, for no reason? People couldn't even save their game progress, lol.

Meticulous my ass. You just fell for their marketing videos they always post after the game is announced. All hos "dev diaries" where they bullshit and bullshit over and over.

"We always dreamed to make the new Prey game"

"We spent so much time researching infos on space ships and what they should look like"

"We are working really hard on this game, and its performance"

All bullshit. And you guys didn't notice the trend going on for so many years now. Lol.

>>378632151

well with the sales figures not being too impressive combined with DH2s fiasco not even half a year earlier, I doubt Arkane will be pursuing Prey 2

I watched videos, webms, streams of this game and nothing tells me that I should pick it up and play it immediately because it was so boring to watch and usually I get a an interest in a video game even after just watching it. Is this game going to change my opinion once I play it? Because I ain't feeling it.

>>378631657

Not sure what you're trying to argue though. I'm just here to post facts and shut down stupid arguments like the QTE guy and the dude shitting on Dishonored 2 for lack of detail instead of performance issues. Haven't even properly played Prey yet because it's too slow and HUD is way too obtrusive.

Attention of detail should include... MAKING THE GAME RUN. Don't you think?

Or by "attention to details" you mean that they spent time on some small inscriptions on the helmets and weapons? Or some other useless details?

>>378632595
Because there are mixed thoughts about this game, some people say it's GOTY and the holy grail of video games and others say it's boring. Also I don't really pirate recently released triple A games because it's a waste of time but then again if I do pirate it, i can play it without stake unlike the people who bought it so they have to justify the price they paid.

>>378632806
yeah putting your effort, hard work and time into making your game substantial is tottalty useless

terrible bait you're really not good at this

>>378632591
I played it on a notebook with a 1050 and had 0 issues. I think I had 2 or 3 crashes though

>>378632684

I can understand where that comes from with what happened to certain styles and franchises when the sixth gen came (see Invisible War, Bioshock, FPS in general, traditional RPGs practically ceasing to exist for a while...), but you'd think people would fucking move on.

>>378632813
Um...okay? Then go ahead and do that

>>378632813
don't buy it or even pirate it, most of the people on here are either shilling it hard or feel bad about their purchase like you said so they have to justify it with lying. Prey is a mediocre game and overrated and a better more fun game died for it.

>>378632813
The problem is that by watching videos, reviews, interviews, gameplay, etc. You ruin the game for yourself, especially with titles like this.
Pirating allows you to go in blind without loosing money if you end up not liking the game.

>>378631253
Looking glass stuff was low resolution or just plain textures. Mirrors in this day require a full resolution copy if the area you're in. Can't do that shit without melting consoles or making it a blurry piece of crap. Look at WoW, a 12 year old game, it has FULL RESOLUTION real-time reflections. How? Game has roughly 1/5th the polys of a modern game

>>378633081
>A better more fun game died for it

We only had one gameplay vid to go off of, and that was early gameplay vid. We would have no idea what Prey 2 would've actually been like.

>>378633081
Prey 2 would be dead no matter what because Beth pitched that game specificly to ruin and eat Human Gead. Stop getting your panties in a twist about what was never meant to be

>>378633081
If prey 2 was going to a "better more fun game" Bethesda would have scheduled it for release. But they didn't so your wrong as fuck

>>378633081
THIS.

The REAL Prey 2 is dead. We won't have the chance to play as a bounty hunter in a Blade Runner setting.

And regarding the current Prey, all the people are defending it to justify their poor purchase. They are teying to convince themselve. It's pathetic, and tou can see it after every release of Ubisoft games. Like The Divison... where everyone was like

"This is so good, it's gonna destroy WoW... it's such a good modern MMO... worth the price"

... then literally 1 month later, the game was dead and these hyped up kids were suddenly silent.

Same thing with Ghost Recon: Wildlands... have you seen a single thread about it here? Neither have I.

Kids are just trying to convince themselve that they made the right choice by paying 60 bucks for 6 hours of origina, content.

Rinse and Repeat.

>these anons had no isseues, did you at least try to do the things any PC gamer has to do, stop all background tasks including anti virus and firewall, Cclean cache and update/roll back drivers?
Did you try turning it off and on again?

I really hope you are shitposting, since its depressing to think you are this retarded.

Reminder that someone disliking Prey 2017 because of Prey 2 or claiming that its bad are probably either baiting or underage. Faggots like these are the reasons why the industry is failing and good games arent selling well.

>>378633707

>>378633720
Go into a Prey thread and ask how many anons aren't playing on nightmare or keep running out of ammo. Cawadoody babbies are the reason Prey is "flopping"

>>378628542
Nothing. It's a pretty good nioshock/system shock clone.
People just didn't get the bounty hunter game they thought they'd get. It's like the Zelda fags getting butthurt over BotW because it's not a "traditional" Zelda title.

This is and always will be, a completely retarded argument. I have never met anyone that acts this way; at least not about low cost commodities such as videogames.

I preordered For Honor, yet I have maintained that it is a completely garbage, bug-ridden shit of a game made by incompetent developers.

>>378628917
People keep saying this but Prey wasn't popular. I don't know anyone who was waiting for Prey 2 with bated breath. The original didn't even sell well. It wasn't like they were picking up some kind of ancient and revered legacy IP.

>>378633915
You'll be surprised how much you enjoy a game when you haven't bought it. I can play nuPrey right now and I might enjoy it or I might not enjoy it but I always finish my games good or bad so at the end there's no waste except a waste of time playing the game.

more likely that bethesda fucked over human head studios during development for not wanting to get bought out by them (like arkane was) and wanted to get them back by cancelling it making another dev take the ip

>>378633720
The industry is falling because dumb kids--like 95% of this thread--are falling for some marketing-induced hype... and end up pre-ordering games.

They don't wait for reviews.

They don't wait to try the game first.

They don't care if the company in question is known to deliver unfinished games.

...

Obviously the devs won't bother making a good game, since they are already in the positive $$$ BEFORE the game was even released lol.

It's 2017. You only need marketing to make money. No need to make games good, like before.

what the fuck are you talking about. Arkane is one of the few devs that actually deliver decent games, also what kind of fucking marketing was there for this game.. it was practically fucked over by the whole prey 2 debacle.

People are shilling this out of their own accord because idiots like you are trashing it mindlessly thinking you're some cool opinionated guy who calls out games for being shit despite it being the closest recent thing to classic fps games (system shock, deus ex, ultima underworld).

>>378633970
It was fun in the beta.

Then meta set in. People started caring only about winning. Abusing bugs or just spamming flowchart combos. Playing with friends meant having to play 4v4 mode. Which meant putting up with equipment stats and Revenge. The connectivity problems were like a fecal flavoured icing.

The game does run and rather well too, only it should be running even better. And yes, attention to detail refers to content. The game running and whether it runs well or not is referred to as 'performance'. Anything else I need to spell out for you?

I'd say it's significantly better than Bioshock. Might just be because how disappointing that game was at the time while Prey was more of a positive surprise, though.

I'd say Bioshock is slightly better because enemy variety.
This game needed some neutral, optional mini bosses like the Big Daddies were.

>>378628542

I love the game but its just not scary. Mimics ware intimidating at first and space walks make me uneasy but thats about it.

Did we ever get a reason why they used the Prey name?

>>378628836
no
Bethesda/Zenimax killed it out of greed

>>378637087
Arkane was going to call this "Typhon"
Beth realised they were sitting on the Prey name
Beth makes them use it.

>>378637020
I guess it's just their 'style' since Arkane have only put out the Dishonoreds so far if I'm not mistaken. I didn't think it would put me off prior to release but now that I'm playing it, it definitely does bother me. Not enough to put me off the game or anything.

>>378637087
Supposedly they had to make use of it to continue holding on to it.

>>378637356

They've done Arx Fatalis (UW spiritual sequel, they've been crazy about this kind of stuff from the start) and Dark Messiah as well.

>>378637343

>>378633398
If you think Human Head studios would have been able to produce a game as ambitious as what Prey 2 was set to be you're sorely mistaken.

They have less than 30 employees and most of their games have been painfully mediocre. As much as I love the original Prey I think their concept for a sequel sounded terrible and they have failed to provide even one tangible piece of evidence that their work wasn't painfully mediocre at best (that one demo people keep linking was 99.9% scripted and pretty much just an early mock-up).

They had five to six years to make that game and did not manage to produce anything worthwhile. Do you honestly think six more years in development hell would have made it good ? No it fucking wouldn't have.

>>378641805
I like the concept of an open world game focused on being a bounty hunter though. I hope someone takes up that shit and delivers a good game. Maybe RDR2 will have some pretty good bounty hunting shit.

>>378628542

The ending makes every action and decision by the player utterly pointless and useless.
When I saw the ending it completely changed ym mind about a second playthrough, since my first playthrough was pure-human and I wanted to try the alien powers in the next one.

Other than that, the game was enjoyable. Dunno why people complain about it so much.

>>378638534

You get A LOT of the "psy-potions" thingies. Almost everything other than mimics drops them pretty consistently.

>>378642061
Maybe it's just bad circumstances but I can't think of a single game that set out to do bounty hunting and managed to make it legitimately compelling. It's usually the worst, most monotonous part of any game that has it.

If you want some examples here's games that let you go bounty hunting:
- Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath
- Red Dead Redemption
- Assassin's Creed Syndicate
- Call of Juarez Bound in Blood
- Elite Dangerous
- Star Wars: Bounty Hunter
- The Witcher 3

There's ONE of those where bounty hunting legitimately is a fun activity. Hint: it's the one where each contract is written individually with its own quest, different outcomes and not just a single, repetitive framework reused ad verbatim on every single mission of the same type.

Typically it works better when your character being a bounty hunter is just a background story thing and the game is actually about something completely different (Call of Juarez: Gunslinger and Metroid being notable examples).

He calls you the first time you see a recycler trap and then a couple of other times telling you that he's going to murder people and escape.

I think it would have worked better if he was earlier in the game and actually did murder more people if you take too long to find him.

>>378644791
How?

>>378642181

I didn't feel that way, even if I thought I would, as I was spoiled and initially thought it was silly. In the end I felt it was in line with the underlying themes present in the game from the start. Like Alex even says in the end, "it probably doesn't even think any of this mattered". The game is just a big ethical trolley problem designed by Alex and co. in an attempt to undo what they have done, and what choices the player character made influence its ultimate empathy level, and will determine what kind of person/alium it will continue to be in the future, deciding the ultimate fate of Earth itself.

I could see someone claiming it would be a Destiny killer (as they're somewhat similar), but not a WoW killer. Of course, it'd be neither, but your trash comparison makes me think you should kill yourself Tbh.

I pirated it, thought it was fun, haven't finished it yet though. Only place I had any frame drops was during the reactor on the exit when I looked back down. Likely due to all the dead enemies, not sure though. Also had tons of webpages and background stuff open as well.

>>378644991
I don't mind linear stories. I truly don't. But it did feel like I got blindsided a little bit when the game pretended to be "open" until the very end.

It took me 1 minute to circle around, find a lamp post, climb it, gloo the wall and reach top. Does anyone ever use gloo to climb shit? It's literally shown off in the area you find the gun

>>378646896
As soon as I got my high jump ability I became retarded for a few hours. Forgot all about GLOO because I could just lazily jump up to places parkour style.

Max jump is so good that you rarely need gloo, especially if you abuse the ledge climbing.

Even in the area where you first get the gloo gun, you can get to the upper level just using the regular jump.

You have to show intent to use your licenses or some legal bullshit can cause you to lose it. Which I think is fine. Fuck those corporate people sitting on licenses they don't even know and won't sell despite it.

Human Head screwed up and didn't meet project guidelines despite getting a 6-month extension from Bethesda.
Bethesda used this to put pressure on Human Head in an attempt to acquire them, Human Head refused and the project got canned.

You're saying a 9 second stun on a .25 second charge time with 12 meter range is bad?

>>378649748
It kills operators outright. At least from stealth with no stealth upgrades. 137 damage. Though I think it counts as a security weapon and not a tech weapon.

Nightmare should be default difficuilty

>>378652683
I've read somewhere that the game is so intensive on the engine with all the looking glass shit and the persistent object placement through loading screens that sound starts to suffer since it's low on the priority list of shit to process.

If you even get damaged by it, you're a shitter

>Nightmare should be default difficuilty

yeah, most shooters can be a bit overly bullety-spongy on max but with Prey you can pretty much pick and chose your fights and conditions, so yeah nightmare should be default for the survival experience

>>378653028
Shame the Nightmare is pretty broken and usually just stands in one place staring at a wall.

Good way to farm neuromods though

>>378629029
t. Didn't play the game

You must be the life of the party... I mean, if you have any friends, which I doubt.

>>378653308
I have more exotic material than all other materials combined. Necropsy is a waste of neuromods

>>378653187

NIghmares AI was a bit shit 2bh, could kill him no probs with a pistol.

Nightmare would have been better if when he was chasing you and could transform into mimics etc who can reach you in ducts and places nighmare couln't fit into, it's size and AI is too easy to exploit

>>378653308
>just stands in one place staring at a wall.

pretty much, would have been better with an Alien Isolation routine where he's actually hunting you

>>378653795
He was quite literally broken in the release version of the game. Apparently the patches fixed him but I've finished the game before any of them were released.

>>378631898
I had to restart the game because I couldn't stand the male Morgan voice.

>>378651490
Who the fuck tried to call this movement "plasticky"

>>378653028
First time that happened, I was out of ammo and only had a few shotgun shells left so that kind of turned me but after the second time he just became annoying.

>>378632591
I noticed V-sync is shit. Disable that, it became way more fluid for me, but with some screen tearing. Not that much tho

Alright I'll bite. I'm 25. I'm in deep enough to thoroughly enjoy games like Ultima Underworld and SS1. I know a good cRPG when I see one. Prey is the best game of its kind to come out in literally decades. Not as good as the best, but still damn worth a playthrough or two.

>its like ss2 or deus ex

lol ok shills

>>378651709
Oh so it's not just me.

I've had a weird issue where I could see the subtitles of a phantom talking, but couldn't hear shit until I moved like half a step then all of a sudden it sounded like he was right in my ear.

>>378632591
1060 and it's unplayable for me. Computer sounds like it wants to die pushing 60 fps when nothing happens and when combat starts the game basically stops.

Max settings, too

>>378654395
You know this makes me think it would have been great if the Typhon purposefully fucked with your ears as part of their design but sadly it's just a shitty technical issue.

>>378653861
>I've finished the game before any of them were released.

Same here man, he looked intimidating with his size and heavy breathing and all that, but he was literally retarded

>>378630386
How does this happen? Do they have a special attack? Greater mimics just seem to attack me like normal ones...except easier to dodge somehow.

>>378654580
I ran the game on a 970 with a i5 4570 and only suffered rare framerate drops in the Arboretum, the plant seemed to run fine (either that or I'm retarded and did not notice the FPS drops).

Although I did drop some graphical settings (fuck ambient occlusion) so maybe that helped.

>>378654779
>Do they have a special attack?
Yes

>>378628542

I don't get the hate or mediocre reception this game got.
It's one of the best narrative/atmospheric driven games I've played in a while. Sure, it could've been even better, but it's still fucking great.

>tfw can't get into a locked booth, room, doorway etc
>jump onto counter, smash window and transform into a toilet roll etc and roll in

always made me smile doing that

>>378654897

Never seen it. But then, I rarely let a mimic or greater mimic hit me.

It's good, it's just the final third that sucks

>>378655037
So far i've seen only 3 places that require typhon powers to reach/loot, and i'm roughly 70%-80% done
>Crew quarters cabin busted door
>GUTS medbay busted door
>Shuttle bay busted escape pod door

>>378628542
Prey 2 fags btfo

>>378655371

Yeah I wished they made more areas specifically restricted to certain playstyles

>panels that require level 4 hacking
>doors blocked by leverage 3 stuff
>small areas where you can pass through as a typhon mimic

I mean they do that still, but there's always a secondary way to get in there. Would be neat to lock certain areas of completely if you didn't go that route.

>>378655560
Weird how you can't bust open those broken doors with leverage 3 with either brute force or throwing shit at it until it breaks

nothing

For anyone curious in trying the game out on PS4, I implore you to reconsider. I just finished it last night and the loading times become ridiculous towards the end. They all last around 1 minute and 20 seconds each, which isn't too bad at first when you're taking your time and exploring everything in an area, but it become nigh unbearable when you're constantly moving between areas in the late game.

Arkane is shit at console optimization. There's no reason why a game like this should have loading screens as long as The Witcher 3.

>>378655959
That's what you get for playing this on consoles.

>>378644158
thats not the first post retard

>>378655959
>There's no reason
HINT: it's the hardware

>>378655913
Do you think it's sad that Bethesda marketed this game as the successor to Bioshock and not System Shock despite being so much closer to the OGs ?

>>378656294
Loads like ass even on PC

>>378634236
hey here's the insufferable redditspacing faggot again. why are you obsessed with causing tortanics?

>>378651490
But then you can't mash out his brains with a wrench while he's asleep in the capsule.
Also does Sho react somehow different if you kill that ukrainian fuck before you meet her?

>>378653187
This nigger just loves to respawn in a wrong place in a wrong time

>>378653538
It's not though? Better organs give other mats as well, maybe not much but with shittons of enemies the game has it adds up, i want all the damn metal, seriously how it's the most rare material if the whole damn station is made of it.

>>378657298
Most of the station is made from the bones of dead russians

>>378656876
Danielle Sho has no way of knowing so I don't think she acknowledges it.

Mikhaila has access to personnel trackers though so she notices it and thanks you if you do it ahead of the curve.

Also this game would have probably done much better if Bethesda didn't shoehorn Denuvo and refuse to give out review copies for their games.

The UI gets annoying (on console at least). It's like too many commands for the buttons to accomodate.

>Encounter the criminal in psycotronics in playthrough one
>Had mimic ability so just transformed into a cup and rolled in
>Saved the guy for no reward
>He dies later on anyway
>Second playthrough I harvest like, 20 material from the guy
>Don't have mimic powers
>Just hack my way inside

There's no reason to keep the guy alive logically, is there? Are all the humans going to be like this where they all die anyway so you might as well benefit? Or does that make my a phycopath?

>>378659364
It makes you a psychopath.

The whole story hinges on whether you are sympathetic or not despite the fact helping people is usually counterproductive if not detrimental

>>378659545
And how exactly? You get lots of free stuff and some entertainment, like why won't i release the convict fuck if he wants to walk typhon infested territory that hard and get some loot from it or give those fucks their turrets and watch lots of typhon getting blown up while doing nothing

>>378660321
If you see people as just objects of entertainment then you're kind of proving the game right story-wise that you're an asshole and not even a real human bean anyway

>>378654739
>a 1060
>Paired with an i3

Jesus man. And I thought I was bad with an i5 6k paired with a 960.

Did anyone else do the quest where you find out a woman secretly sent Neuromods to her grandmother back on Earth? Doesn't that make the whole containment thing pointless?

>>378660505
>you'll never be a typhon and use all those powers
>>378660895
Neuromods by itself aren't dangerous
