Comfy levels/areas in vidya

Fess up. You didn't play Prey until after the latest iteration was released.

Prey's opening is god tier, that Don't Fear The Reaper bit works perfectly.

Quake 4 was better, desu

the act 1 moorland in diablo 2 is fucking great

Anon, Prey 2006 was the primary reason I ever wanted an Xbox 360.

Nu Prey was a colossal disappointment for me.

>>382848706
Not OP, but I played it years about in high school when a friend lent it to me. I even remember the area OP's pic is from. Pretty sure there is a poker machine to the right, and one of the characters gets abducted by a UFO or something. Over all the game was pretty awful. I played the multiplayer one time and one of the guys I played against sent me a message over Xbox live saying something to the effect of "Why do you still play this dead game loser? get a life loser" even though I only just started playing it. Guy was obviously just butthurt, but I probably should have taken his advice anyway.

>>382848706
I think most people who had a 360 on launch must of played prey

not like it was an obscure title

>>382849170
>Nu Prey was a colossal disappointment for me.
You should have just left this out but due to leaving it in your comment it's just highlighted you as a stereotypical /v/nigger contrarian.

>>382849346
Okay, I lied, I actually enjoyed Nu Prey quite a bit, still not really what I wanted.

I wish so badly that ANY game featured american indians the way this game did. can you believe this is the only fucking game that features a SPECIFIC TRIBE of natives? and Tommy was actually a badass character, and had a good arc. remember when video games had character arcs? jdimsa

My man, I remember seeing Prey for the first time and thinking the future of vidya looked so fucking bright to me.

I can't think of a game that's even stylistically similar, not to mention those Art Bell radio segments were cool as fuck.

Fuck me, modern vidya even ruined fucking Turok. I LOVED Turok..

I'm 23 now, but I had Prey back in 2007 and it was one of the first games I bought on my 360, and it must've been out for awhile whenever I purchased it because I remember getting it used for fairly cheap. Why the fuck would you assume people didn't play it until recently unless you're some weirdo autist projecting on people, the kinda person who believes "oh since i didn't play it until recently then neither did anyone else."

shit i still remember prey on the 360 coming with a booklet that had an advert for Prey 2 on the back and im still salty we never got it because Prey was actually a legit fun game, it didn't age well though.
