>>379593503
I mean yeah that is what you get for probably getting full of yourself after one of your previous games being overrated to hell and back for making a horrible "stealth" game and then making a garbage sequel to it, and then making a bland and soulless game that nobody will talk about in the future thinking it'll be just as well praised.

Come on now, it's not some 10/10 game but it's way better than 90% of the triple A titles that came out recently. Trash like the annual Ass Creed/Cowadoody is instant profit while legitimately decent games like the new DOOM are already forgotten.

Huge shame if that's true, fun and engaging game

Can't remember the last time a game actually let me sequence break by creative jumping

Tried playing this game
Went as far as psychonauts and got that machine to scan mimics.
My suit is broken, have 30% health. Cannot fix it because don't have that ridiculous skill.
Don't have enough neuromods and finding them is a mess.
Went to the point where there is a prisoner i freed him and got shit ton of weapons.
Now there is a electric phantom who one shots me because of my low health.
This game is so anti fun and roaming around finding items is such a mess.
Optimization is good though but game is not for me.

>>379599537
It doesn't matter, you're a typhon anyway.

>>379600482
they didn't.

nothing in the game is real.

though at least some of it is memories, that part is up to you to decide just how much of it was really Morgan yu's memories and how much was just to make the experiment work.

>>379600479
This, Bioshock isn't even a SS2 clone

This at least locks you out of certain stuff if you didn't build your character for it. I welcome the return of RPG elements even though its not as extensive as SS2

>SJW shit doesnt sell

>>379600576
But at the end, the earth is doomed because of typhon infestation, and the player was tested in the simulation to learn if infected human still has their emotions.

>>379600349
Indavertantly becoming the hulk was the best early game mistake I made in any game.

>>379600576
Seriously though, what the fuck were they thinking? It's about as close to 'It was all a dream' that you can get away with.

>>379600754
actually it was tested on a typhon, as in, something that has no humanity at all.

they "Neruomod" a Typhon and the game is the result of this experiment, they just wanted to see if they could imprint humanity unto the Typhon.

>>379600754
>and the player was tested in the simulation to learn if infected human still has their emotions
the simulation was tested on a Typhon, no human connection. The whole point of the game was Alex and Morgan trying to teach empathy to the Typhon.

>>379600842
well it all really happened, those are real memories that you are altering as your typhon self by interacting with them in the simulation.

>>379600941
>Morgan trying to teach empathy
I'm pretty sure Morgan is dead
>>379600842
Not a dream, memories based on Morgan past experience

>>379600876
So, everything is business as usual in Talos I? Can someone give me quick run down on the story?. I have finished it but yet understand the overall plot.

>>379593443
Mediocre.

>>379600953
The point is not whether it happened or not, the point is that everything you did was ultimately inconsequential.
Such an infuriating end to a great game.

Hence 'closest to'.

One grenade left is one which lures enemies but don't hurt them. Another grenade only hurts robots and phantoms are immune to it.

>>379601017
well the experiment was definatly started by Morgan, so even if she/he is dead they live on in your memories and the experiment that creates the Typhon-morgan thing.

this why all of Alex Yu's dialogue is so somber and wistful instead of angry I suppose.

If you don't like methodical gameplay, why did you pick stealth? I just blow everything up and pick up everything. Nothing boring there.

>>379601387
90% of what your told about the history of things is acurate in Prey, what is a lie and what is truth about the current situation that happened on Talos 1 is up in the air.

but its heavily hinted that what you are going through are memories, not just a pure simulation, so Morgan Yu really did all that stuff in some variation.

>>379601387
Coffee cup on the shuttle?

>>379601387
Isn't implied that the more Neuromods you install, the less human you become?

Probably some elites went overboard and started the outbreak on earth, would be a cool sequel

except Morgan Yu did since the talos 1 incident is her memories, it happened your just reliving them.

>>379601546
>use your imagination
Come the fuck on.
Is it because some insiders who deliberately try to sabotage the station? In the quest Request for The Cook gave me hint that there's some typhon subject test who managed to escape the test facility and replaced the current cook. I forget his name, though.

>>379599367
nice bait. I take it.

>have 30% health.
There is milions of food to eat that gives you health.
There is milions of healthkits.
There are medical operators in Psychotornics that regen you to 100% for free.

>My suit is broken, Cannot fix it because don't have that ridiculous skill.
you dont need any skill to repair your suit. There are healthpacks for suit called suit repair kit.

>Don't have enough neuromods and finding them is a mess.
You get neuromods thrown in your face for most main objectives, they are lying on tables or in drawers next to objectives.

>This game is so anti fun and roaming around finding items is such a mess.
Trolololo, the main point of the game is exploration.

>>379600213
>Failing that, you can always just you know, not fight it.
I tinhk this is the part in Psychotronics where you need to kill it to complete some procedure and unlock way to GUTS.
But this is a troll, you cant get that far without knowing basic stuff like operators and suit repair.

>>379601756
no they didn't, if they did everyone would be dead, as stated to us by the math given if they ever got out on earth (everyone would be dead in about a week)

>>379601756
Some people are claiming that's false stuff made by Alex to make you empathise more

>>379601686
they cancelled a cinematic trailer, oh the humanity!

>>379601605
Probably. Why it's so similar with Life movie ending?

>>379601947
So you're saying that they didn't take over the world, they're just attacking it right?
So if they managed to attack it, that means Morgan didn't wipe them out, huh?
Check yourself before you wreck yourself.

>>379602023
Prey 2 was nearly complete before it was cancelled.

>>379601775
Beth/Zeni marketers are the dumbest people.
They stole title from another unrelated in any way game THEY CANCELLED and put it on great game that was not represented in its strengths by any way.
If I known I could play System Shock 3 that is more of a spiritual successor than Bioshock, I would buy it.
Instead I find out the true nature of this game AFTER I prate it and play one hour.

How the FUCK could you be so bad at marketing.

But yeah, it could be. They probably testing subjects as usual in Talos I.

>>379602106
I would guess you are clone of Morgan or Morgan and they want to restore/recreate your memories.
When you take December path Alex says "this one is a failure, start again" (or start a new one - something like that).

>>379593443
huh, thats a shame.

Really enjoyed playing it. Best "shock/immersive-sim" in a while.

>>379601128
why are you reporting yourself for liking such a generic and forgettable game?

>>379593443
How do you figure that, only a couple months after release? They haven't even done any major DLC yet.

Ok so it's a Prey thread so whatever.
Tell me if I got this straight:
You, the player, play as the consciousness of a typhon that Alex and Co. captured. They injected human (I don't know if specifically Morgan's) DNA to make it a hybrid thing with the purpose of turning it into a mediator between humans and the typhon.
They ran the typhon hybrid through a simulation of Morgan's memories to see if it showed human emotions and behavior as to gauge if it would be possible to use it as said mediator.
Morgan has been dead for a while (?) after either blowing up the station or using the prototype nullwave device, but the typhon made their way to earth regardless and fucked it all up, hence why they need a mediator to try put shit in order.
Did I get it right? What else am I missing?

>>379593891
>generic SS2 clone
How can such clone be generic when the closest to those are only Bioshock 1&2 or Deus Ex.

>>379602692

>>379602715
how dare you speak to me using such a gay response

>>379602813

Spot on, I think. We don't really know whether or not the 'final solution' part was ever tried or was that a possible solution at some point that wasn't tested out.

>>379602813
I still don't know what part January and December play in this.
also why they were not there at the end.

>>379602680
but you are not a full blown typhon.
the moments you pass out in the simulation you can see real Alex and med staff and you see them like human do.
So I guess they are cloning Morgan with a lot of typhon mods as kind of hybrind and see what he does in simulation, they are not putting mimic though simulation.
>>379602614
more like pathetic, if you run and leave living people stranded this is not empathy but minding only about yourself.

My only problem with the game is that it's another "survival with scavenging" game with no boss to bust your backed load on to.
Running around faster than light and shooting a tentacle or two is no fun.

Prey starts off very strong but eventually stagnates

It took me 30 hours to clear (but I was doing about half of the sidequests). They slather on too much side shit desu and the weapon variety is a little underwhelming but it is still a solid, fun game.

4 stars.

>>379603528

(You) am i right?

>>379603732
I guess it's easy to swallow if you're not playing the game thinking your actions might actually mean something.

i really enjoyed it but i pirated it because i am still mad about prey 2

Who is December?

>>379603671
DESU I dont remember exactly, I think you do need to kill it since it triggers some alarm.
But if he cant manage that, I dont know about GUTS and rest where you get Weavers who start poping those little shits like crazy if you dont kill them fast.

>>379603802
Prey 2 could be a generic third person shooter, really.

>>379603789
What was your playstyle?
I did the vast majority of sidequests and I clocked at 21 hours.

>>379603057
During the after-credit scene Alex says that they had already tried putting Typhon DNA in a human, but not human DNA in a Typhon.

You are a typhon that Alex put Morgan's DNA in to serve as a mediator between humans and typhons. (You know it's Morgan's DNA since, in one of the visions you get, you hear Alex say something like "Add more of Morgan's DNA")

They need a mediator because the typhon took over earth, which Alex shows you when he turns your chair around.

>>379603821
An Operator Morgan created.

>>379593443
That's a pity, it was a good game.

If I have to be honest though, they only have themselves to blame for taking the name of Prey and slapping it onto a fundamentally different game instead of just making it a new IP.

This new Prey could have been an excellent new IP for Arkane in it's own right. Tacking the name of an existing series onto it just tarnished that and turned away many people who were upset that Prey 2 was cancelled.

>>379603995
But why January destroyed December?

>>379603384
You know I actually agree. Idk how combat was so boring but it sort of come together at the end when things were proper threatening and you suddenly had to manage your resources.

>>379603821

I want to know this, and precisely what the real Morgan Yu did. That's all I need.

>>379603637
I wish that the game at least scaled a Nightmare every time you kill one or a Weaver.

Same here. Finished my first playthrough at around 20 hours. I eventually ignored the scavenger hunt quests and the ones involving dead crew members but still spent a long time searching every inch of every room. Not sure how you got 30 hours.

>>379603920
I avoided using any of the alien powers (it's been a few weeks so I can't remember the name)

I spent most of that time exploring every single room looting everything. I'd get to a new area and I wouldn't leave until I had gone over everything. I didn't read most of the emails because (seriously) fuck video games trying to make me read a bunch of shit. Just summarize that shit damn.

And FUCK games like Outlast 2 putting in nonsense pages of text that build NOTHING onto the world.

>>379604039

Like who? I honestly had never heard of the original before. It seems like they just fucked up marketing, and made a game that your average normie wouldn't be interested in.

>>379604039
Nobody gave a shit about the OG prey before that.
Hell I bet half the people shitposting about it haven't played the 1st game.

The IP was dead anyway, it's not the first time reboots happen.

>>379604039
>If I have to be honest though, they only have themselves to blame for taking the name of Prey and slapping it onto a fundamentally different game instead of just making it a new IP.
People HUGELY overestimate the importance of the Prey IP. Most people today does not even remember the pile of trash, rest does not give a fuck. It was silly and did not help the game especially when Human Head took advantage of this shit to masturbate themselves, but the game is not failing due to it's branding.
It's failing because people don't give two fucks about immersive sims. It's not a genre that is popular or appealing to major markets. People just don't want to play this, most of them don't even know how to play it. It would fail under any other new name.

I read some emails. I heard there's also someone who deliberately tries to sabotage the station? There's someone too who tries to smuggle some neoromods.

>>379604239
I've been doing a lot of backtracking and re-cleaning the locations several times. I just got the military operators and already clocked in 34 hours.

>>379604247
I actually liked the emails and logs in this game, normally I don't bother but I thought Talos 1 was a really interesting setting.

>>379603821

December was an Operator that Morgan created, to assist in his escape of Talos 1.

Except that December is the "evil" choice and leaving Talos 1 leads you to a game over.

December and January are both moral choices that may have been build into the simulation you're in at the end.

This post is proof enough Arkane games are to smart for stupid people.

I wish someone dumped the whole emails online. I like reading them, really.

So what's with the four operators based on the real staff of Talos 1?
Alex just got really lonely?

>>379604086
through out the many months Morgan was going through neruomod experiments and having them pulled the various states of mind these various "morgan who just had their memories pulled and developed their own personalitys" hatched various plans to stop what was going on.

December was made.. in December, and January in January, the game takes place in Febuary.

>>379604614
Probably the staffs were real people who the minds were uploaded into operators

>>379604614

This is the most confusing part for me actually. So if the Talos 1 was real, are those people dead ? Why are they inside operators.

If it's not real, then I guess the operators were just taking place as characters in the simulation, to figure out if the typhon is a good one ?

>>379604247
Some of the text were pretty useless but I'd say most of them added a lot of flavor to the universe. I loved the one about a guy putting yellow sticky notes on everything he was sure wasn't a mimic, and the idea of a monopoly on space elevators.

There's no technology like that mentioned in the game. The closest thing is that with enough voice samples an operator can mimick somebody.

When Dishonored was released /v/ was already dead, it was fairly evident from the reaction. This board is full of people who started gaming on PS3 and never ever bothered to go back.

>>379604614
Either real people who died during station accident with Morgan or those operators are remotely controlled from other places.

>>379604959
>Morgan's memories
Haha what, he just programmed it.

>>379604930
January is literally your mind uploaded to an Operator.

also the game STARTS with you in a simulation meaning you should always be questioning the reality of the situation, and the entire main theme of the game is Existentialism.

>>379604930
But January has a backup memory of Morgan Yu

Talos is fucked, the earth is fucked. It's a simulation partially based on what really happened to Morgan and Talos, you're a Typhon.
Alex is possibly the last living human, you're in an experiment where he's trying to implant human emotion/empathy etc... onto a Typhon. They possibly neuromod you with mirror neurons or something, judging by some documents you can read in the psycho labs.

>>379593443
If they didn't cut a solid chunk of mechanics (Weapon durability, semi-permanent injuries, etc) this would have been a pretty good game. So far, theres a couple of mods that try to bring them back and I hope all of its problems can be fixed entirely with them. But probably not.

Nope. Not every copyright is time-limited. In fact, majority aren't.

I think Prey achieved that goal much better than the Dishonored games did. It's hard to play your way when there's a system designed to discourage an entire spectrum of your options.

yeah serves them right for releasing a good game

>>379607030
Did you get her drugs?

>>379606869
Moving cups are spooky, man.

>>379606343

I mean you can kill everyone in the cargo-bay if you're doing a spooky monster run. Also there's that cook imposter who I'm assuming can be shot instantly in the face as soon as he lets you inside the room.

All that aside I forgot about the cystoids and the cysts things themselves. Fucking radioactive tumors all over the place.

What would happen if I killed literally everyone on the station? January, Dahl etc. Would the game just end?

>>379607080
i had nearly two hours left to get her drugs. what does the reactor have to do with that?

>>379607030
There's a timer. You need to get her medication first before restarting the reactor.

>>379607207
He only respawned once. And did change some of the quests

>>379607140
Hasn't happened to me but I assume shutting down the reactor makes it so that the locks disengage in the room she's in and a Typhon kills her. I remember going back to where she was at some point and saw a Phantom staring at her through the window.

>>379605598
Opt into the beta, performance is fine now there.

>>379607116
I think you can play through it still, but at the end, Alex kills you because you're obviously evil and have no empathy.

Alex was a lovable fat fuck. I like that email he got from the station's fitness guy about missing his obligatory exercise sessions.

>>379608448
He was good guy after all. Nobody is the bad guy in the game. It's up to you if you want to be the bad guy.

Probably. Hopefully with an actual good ending, more music and better graphics.

>>379608627
The Cook was pretty damn diabolical.

>>379608448

>>379608097

I legitimately accidentally broke it because of the Blackbox operators that fly into his room. I was swinging a wrench at one and it got smashed in the panic.

>>379608904
After his greenhouse quest? I think it tells you in the quest entry, you have to go to the volunteer quarters in the Neuromod division and use a terminal to track him.
You might just be able to find him at his location if you wanna be a lazy cunt and google it though.

>>379608904

I ended up ignoring the quest because I think the key to the door is locked behind security 4 and I couldn't be fucked to use mods to get that.

>>379610106
Yeah. He was lying and just went with a desperate move. The player could've shot him on sight, anticipated a fourth trap after all the other times, back out of the pod once he starts ominously laughing or just be strong enough to withstand being recycled.

Criminals yes, but as you go through mails you find some about staff is concerned its not only killers but also people with much lower crimes being taken to Talos for "recycyling".
Also they fabricate stories of how the volunteers are acualy reformed and going back to Earth.
If they just executed killers like this, it might pass but its straight up grey area and lies.

>>379610453
Well not that I hold it against the game but I did notice that your merry band of brothers in Morgan's office were an Asian, a black guy with an African surname and a mixed race Indian-Russian.

>Nightmare respawns
Would have been much cooler if he had been a lot tougher and didn't respawn.

I know right? He's a bit of a big bitch.

I agree.

The game is what Bioshock should have been. Or you could just think of this as SS3 without SHODAN.

>>379613230
So I have a quest to repair some satelite in HW labs to stop Nightmares hunting me.
But I read somewhere you can summon them also later, is that true?

>>379613628
Isnt it named Prey also after the book? So they used this name becase it fits.

>>379602260
Should have called it Neuro Shock.

grrr, we will never get THE Prey 2

>Bethesda(Publisher) agrees to fund Human Head Studio to make Prey 2
>Prey 2 is in a pretty good state, could be released in less than a year
>Beth sees that HH Studio is a pretty fucking good studio
>Beth want to aquire them
>start setting impossible deadlines, raise standards unreasonably high
>HH Studio can't meet the deadlines and can't match the new quality standards
>Beth cuts their funding for that
>loss in funding reduces their chances at meeting those conditions even more
>Beth says to Human Head "Let us aquire you and we will lower our demands and Prey 2 will release ... or else"
>Human Head studios responds "NO, we will not become your moneycow"
>Beth makes a press announcement "Prey 2 has been cancelled since it didn't meet our quality standards"
>Beth then makes the most generic sci fy and horror game and slaps "Prey" on it

BETHESDA MUST ANSWER FOR THIS!!!!

Because it was a spider crushing cumshooting sim

Can't tell if this game is really worth the effort to pirate and check out. the comparison to shit like dishonored is complete turn off, I really dislike everything about those games, at the same time though. Bioshock 2 was fun as fuck and I like sci-fi like that MOON movie.

>>379614698
That's the thing, fags like you take your nerd rage out on a great game over that bullshit. It's not Prey 2017 or Arkane's fault.
