Prey

no
it's a month after release and it's already 50% off
that should tell you something

>>387878674
i take it you didn't actually play it

>>387878538
Yes, it's a good Immersive Sim and it'll become a cult classic that people will recommend alongside games like Deus Ex and System Shock 2.

It's one of the best games of the last decade but it was marketed so badly by Bethesda that most people didn't even know and some still don't know what type of game it is. It was also boycotted for stupid reasons like "muh prey 2" or not knowing the difference between a developer and a publisher. So it flopped.

>>387878538
Prey's a nice game, I'd say that it is worth it at 50% off; the only thing that I didn't enjoy was the gunplay, since at the beginning it is quite awkward, but once you progress in the game it becomes fine since you have more options

Somebody redpill me on this game.

>>387879367
How does it compare to Mankind Divided and Human Revolution?

It's pretty good actually.

>>387879416
Worth it for 5$
Just pirated it, its a solid 7/10

>>387878538
Do you actually like immersive sims or do you pretend to like them and mention SS2/Thief in every Arcane thread for hip points?

If first, then yeah go play it, it's a blast and 2017 goty

>>387878674
>Over 3 months is now 1 month :thinking_emote:

>>387878538
Yes it is, it would've probably been my GOTY if I wouldn't have encountered a huge glitch in my playthrough.

>>387879367
>Yes, it's a good Immersive Sim and it'll become a cult classic that people will recommend alongside games like Deus Ex and System Shock 2.

hahaha
great post my friend

>>387879416
Some studio makes a game about an injun killing aliens with a monkey wrench and spirit bow. They try to make a boba fett simulator next but Bethesda wants to make them a subsidiary and dicks them until the developers say fuck it and the game is scrapped instead. Then these other guys were making a system shock type game so Bethesda slapped the name on there so they could keep the rights

>>387878674
That it didn't sell enough, which isn't a bad thing since games that sell well are often casualised pieces of trash.

It's 2017 GOTY
It's the only game of this year which is actually innovative and offers such player freedom and great level design

It's way better than Prey 2006

>>387879790
>actually innovative
how so?

Is the OST as bad as the demo made it seem?

instead asking /v/ go fucking play it
theres a free trial or demo out

>>387879948
OST is great the fuck are you talking about? It's spooky, repetitive to the point of being unnerving and is always on point with ingame situations.
Helicopter track is 10/10 good vibes

a little off topic but are the bioshock remasters fixed?

I heard this is supposed to be a System Shock successor but this game doesn't feel like an RPG at all.

No. Wait for the real System Shock 3.

>>387879948

>>387878674
That it's an under rated gem
>>387878538
Yes it's absolutely worth playing

>>387878538
It flopped for some reason, but it's honestly the best System Shock game.

>>387879464
It blows them out of the water. Not half as good as the original Deus Ex though.

>>387881574
>It blows them out of the water.
can you elaborate?

>>387879464
It's better, it's less story and character oriented, much more about the gameplay and exploration.
Also no cover system or immersion-breaking third person camera.

I liked HR and MD though, I'd say those are 7.5/10 games, Prey is a 8.5.

daily reminder that people shitting on Prey are faggot weebs who'd rather play neptunia or some other weebshit for autistic manchilds

It's very decent game better then the deus ex games solid 8-8.5 people just can't appreciate games which don't put you on rails and have unlimited ammo and no difficulty.

>>387878538
My personal GOTY. And yes I am usually a Nintendo guy but this game is just amazingly well made.

>>387882485
>I am usually a Nintendo guy
how is this relevant to the conversation?

I'd say it was worth, it felt a bit too long towards the end because you have to do so much backtracking and I did a decent amount of exploring and side-quests so that only compounded that feeling.

>>387882556
Because I think it's even better than BOTW which was the best Zelda game ever made imo.

>>387881663
Much better movement and level design. For example, HR/MD fall into the trap of every path being built for the player. For example, if you want to climb up to a rooftop to infiltrate from above, there will be a specific path for doing so which will be 1 of 3 or 4 ways total. Prey is more like the original Deus Ex where the levels are designed more naturally and the various ways you can approach are emergent from the game's nonrestrictive movement system.

It also has leaning instead of a shitty cover system, a much better story, and more innovative gameplay that plays with the expectations and habits of people used to the genre.

>>387878538
It's worth it,im enjoying it.

I start playing on nightmare. Honestly pretty good game but they should not called it Prey because it feels nothing like Prey. Level design is top notch though. GLOO cannon is probably the best vidya weapon with the Gravity gun

To the people who said yes, what year were you born in?

>>387882867

>>387882867
1980

>>387882867

I consider Prey to be System Shock 3

>>387882867
1994

Very sad enemy variety!

>>387882921
the fuck are doing with your life?

if I like Prey will I like Dishonored 2?

>>387883025
Dishonored 2 is better than Dishonored 1. But Prey is leaps and bounds beyond Dishonored 2.

>>387883025
if you like prey you'll probably think dishonored is for babbies

>>387882990
Nothing much, you?

>>387883025
Did you like Dishonored 1? 2 is a sequel that improves basically everything

>>387882867
91

>>387883025
Probably, it's more about sneaking but the game is excellent and some levels are literally designed by god

>>387882867
1986

Immersive Sims is my favorite genre, I played all of them and Prey is a good one.

>>387879668
>so Bethesda slapped the name on there so they could keep the rights
The most bizarre thing about this debacle is that Bethesda thought the rights to Prey were more important than this game.

>>387879464
It's far worse.
Constant backtracking, fuck all weapons, and very little enemy variety. It's alright - nothing more.

>>387883417
yes
like anyone cares about fucking prey besides some old fags who enjoy mediocre shooters
the game was supposed to be named Typhoon

>>387883025
Prey is clearly better but yes, Dishonored 2 is better than the first one which was already a good game. If you like the genre there's only one reason that could prevent you from enjoying the game: not liking the setting.
Or if it runs like shit on your PC of course.

>>387883463
there are hardly more weapons or enemy variety in those games, retard

>>387883149
>>387883162
>>387883518
alright thanks gonna play Dishonored 2 after I finished Prey.

>>387880321
You get to make various choices that actually affect the story and how things play out, doesn't that automatically make it more of an RPG than System Shock?

>>387883506
not a better name

>>387878538
Eh, as cheap as it goes on sale for I think the gameplay is servicable with some good level design (aside from the TERRIBLE loading screens you're at the mercy of later in the game). The story starts out pretty interesting and takes a drastic nosedive near the end.

Would Prey make this guys happy?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPqwDGXxLhU

>>387883708
yes it is
if you had played the game you would know enemies are called Typhoons. Much better than some old dying franchise that just confused everybody

>>387883781
>(aside from the TERRIBLE loading screens you're at the mercy of later in the game)
is this with an SSD?

>>387883806
if you had played the game, you'd know the enemy were the typhon. "typhoon" is a shit name.

>>387883025
If you play Dishonored 2 like a psychopath and go for SPEED and gore it is extremely fun. Pick Emily. In many regards it is different to Prey though.

You are

You're just not maxed out, you lured the nightmare right next to a faulty power junction (which happens to do silly amounts of damage) like a clever little anon

>>387878538
For some reason I couldn't get into this.
Kind of strange considering my favorite game is Deus ex and I both enjoyed system shock 2 and thief

>>387883892
but you are maxed out

why are you lying?

>>387883892
>In before another retard claims I'm maxed out here.
at the very least, your shotgun is maxed and you have all the gun damage mods

the exterior is fully freeroam and the station is actually put together the way it should be

>>387883892
If you got time to make a webm out of it, then you have time to show us the neuromods and weapon kits that you 'didn't' max out in.

Counting the boltcaster as a weapon is rather generous.

>>387884058
i didn't even notice he did that. good eye. still only accounts for maybe 2 big damage ticks

>>387884012
And you're a retard.

>>387884058
Except you can clearly see from the webm it takes him down from 100% to 95% and after shocking him requires a lot of time to strike again.

All the enemies in the game on ANY difficulty have ridiculously low health and melt within seconds, particularly if you use a single stealth attack. The AI is so incredibly stupid it cannot see 5 meters in front of itself and completely fails to take cover or attack (unless it has a projectile attack) when Morgan stands in an area it cannot pathfind to.

>>387884091
Same. The whole experience felt dull to me and exploration felt more like a chore than anything, for some reason I can't figure out. The combat was also shit.

>>387884091
It's the lack of free time that does it.

When you played Deus ex and system shock 2 you had a lot more free time on your hands.

>>387884328
>The combat was also shit.
this meme needs to die already.

>>387884297
Why are you lying you idiot? You obviously have your shotgun maxed out, gun damage neuromod maxed out and sneak attack maxed out

You sound like some poser fag who wants to be the hardcorest gamerz of them all, quite SAD actually

>>387884150
I'm not even remotely maxed out. Well over half of the trees weren't even unlocked and the shotgun was only half upgraded in terms of damage.

>>387884152
> your shotgun is maxed and you have all the gun damage mods
Another fucking retard. You wish it was maxed out. He'd die in TWO SECONDS FLAT if it was.

>the exterior is fully freeroam and the station is actually put together the way it should be
Large open empty space? GUTS was a fucking shitfest. They made an awful metroidvania experience by gluing everything together in a halfassed way and filling it with load screens. The only satisfying connection is the Arboretum to the Lobby.

>>387884159
>Also exploring Talos Exterior you tool.
All that open space sure was fun. God I love spending 5 minutes trying to get to an isolated escape pod.
Fuck you Preydrones are disgusting. You are an absolute disgrace to the legacy of good games like System Shock and Deus Ex. But I'll forgive you because you're definitely under 25.

>>387884385
Wow yeah I sure enjoyed shooting those... Shadow monsters. And robots...

It was lame as fuck. None of the weapons are satisfying to use, there are like 3 enemy types in the whole game and they're all boring to kill, and it's too easy.

>>387883892
>It takes damage when shooting it with a weapon that deal no damage
Gee anon, what could be happening here? This >>387884058

>>387884274
Regardless of whether or not it's a "weapon", the boltcaster is more interesting than any weapon in HR.

>>387884531
>and the shotgun was only half upgraded in terms of damage.

sure thing buddy
you maxed out the ammo capacity but not the damage? Go be a faggot somewhere else

>>387884474
Do the math if you think it's wrong but you should be able to as a fan of the game.

>You sound like some poser fag who wants to be the hardcorest gamerz of them all, quite SAD actually

You see what's ironic here is that's the mentality of most Prey fags. You idiots really think this is a hardcore experience when it's even more of a cakewalk than any Call of Duty game. Prey has all the depth of a shallow puddle and Arkane half assed the whole thing but you morons won't accept that fact.

Even Bioshock Infinite puts this shitpile to shame.

>>387884656
>Do the math if you think it's wrong but you should be able to as a fan of the game.
I already did
And you're a lying faggot

>>387884274
>Counting the weapon that lets you deal with several type of enemies and opening secrets as a weapon is rather generous.
What did he mean by this?

I hate art deco. Why does this game use art deco? What does it have to do with space stations and aliens? Of all design options, why?

>>387884597
Hi.

You appear to be retarded and not even know how you precious little game works.

The junction box DOES NOT DEAL A CONSTANT STREAM OF DAMAGE. Watch the webm closely and you'll notice it shocks the Nightmare ONE FUCKING TIME for 5% of its health.

Do you want me to redo the webm with a maxed out shotgun and maxed out stealth away from a junction box without me switching to a fucking gloo cannon and wrench to humiliate it? Because it will die in two seconds flat.

>>387884770
The aesthetics in this game were lame as fuck.

>>387884770
It's like saying why do people fill their houses with shitty art deco?

Cause apparently it looks good and its suppose to invoke certain emotions.

>>387884656
>>387883892
Does anyone who's a fan of these types of games really care how difficult the combat is? I mean, you can drop a rumbler in SS2 with a single burst from the assault rifle using anti-personnel rounds. None of these games were ever difficult, except the original SS with all difficulty types maxed.

>>387884725
>I already did
Let's see it.

Go on then.

>>387884770

Cribbing Bioshock of course

>>387884858
Yeah fuck it, why should games have functioning gameplay mechanics?

>>387884858
Yes. It helps that the game is actually you know, challenging.

>>387884616
>>387884756
Yes, the weapon that lets me press a button on a computer is great!

>>387884856
It invokes emotions alright

>>387884770
part of the pedigree

lore-wise, the game has an alternate history and is set in the future, so all types of retro trends could loop back around

>>387883892
Even without pointing the bullshit in that webm, I'll agree with you that the Nightmare is stupid, he's easy to kill and he can't follow you in most places, he's only dangerous because he hits hard.
Does that single enemy being badly designed makes the entire game not worth playing ? No.

>>387884531

At first it was interesting to me but it quickly became tedious because i made the huge mistake to upgrade guns, enemies are samey and take LOTS of shots, do LOTS of damage and i had to gather junk all the fucking time and waste more time with the crafting system

Prey (2017)
Is literally system shock 3.

Only bad thing about it is that enemies kinda look homogeneous seeing as they are all technically the same kind of organism only different sizes and shapes.

But on a technical level it feels like a System shock 3 like what system shock 3 would literally be if it came pout today.

>>387884795
It deals damage to it at least 3 times.
One of them while getting hit by the shotgun (you can see the damage dealt by the shotgun is marked white in the enemy's health, and he loses more health than the area marked)

If you just want to feel cool about it, it's ok. but don't be THAT kid please.

>>387884879
how about you load your file and show us those neuromods? Just pretending your shotgun isn't maxed out when you have max bullet capacity shows what a lying bitch you are

>>387885008
And to go further - I haven't had to use the boltcaster once to open a door so far. And I've explored every area I could, up until I dropped the game shortly after finishing the location where the guy in the kitchen is.

>>387885202
>I haven't had to use the boltcaster once to open a door so far.

>games offers different ways to access closed places
>somehow that's a bad thing

ok

>>387883892
Biggest faggot on the thread, doesn't like the game yet cares enough to post about it, make a webm, respond to a ton of people and tryhard the game.

I ghost the original thief all the time doesn't mean the game isn't good just because it isn't tryhard. Fuckoff to whatever shit grind games you play probably warframe fag.

>>387884795
> it shocks the Nightmare ONE FUCKING TIME for 5% of its health.
It's consistently chunking its health after that small initial hit, or are you going to tell me that the gloo gun at the end did that damage?

>Do you want me to redo the webm
Sure, go waste your time making a webm for a game that you seemingly don't enjoy

>>387885169
People keep saying this, but there's no cyberpunk, transhumanism, body horror or any horror at all. It may be mechanically similar to system shock, but it couldn't be any more totally or thematically different.

>>387884924
>>387884936
I'm just saying, Thief, SS2, Deus Ex, Thief 2, are very easy games even on the hardest difficulties. Those games were more about exploration and how you solved a problem rather than how hard the problem was to solve.

Yes, Call of Duty and BioShock: Infinite are both much more difficult than any of them, so what? That doesn't make them better games and they're difficult for the wrong reasons.

>>387885202
i was wondering about this. im about halfway through the game and ive only found 1 place the crossbow could be used. i figured there would be more.

>>387885358
ive gotten to the point where nerf options are the first thing i look for when trying to get in somewhere.

well i played the trial and in the first 30 minutes i killed over 20 something mimics. shit got old fast, so i uninstalled and moved on

>>387885358
It simply goes back to me saying it's generous to call it a weapon - because it's not.
And even if you want to call it a weapon, I was still right (and gave proof) that there are more weapons in the new Deus Ex games.

>>387885427
>but it couldn't be any more totally or thematically different.

>>387885495
What kind of run are you doing? You'll get fucktons of use out of it if you do no-neuromods.

There's a few buttons, but it is also really useful for computers. There's several computer stations, security especially, where you have to fire the bolts to hit the 'options' tab on the screen, then another to hit the 'unlock door' tab.

So what skills should I get? Is there a power gaming faggot guide to this game? I don't want to waste points and my autism is preventing from playing further.

>>387885427
There is no cyberpunk i agree but it has the esthetic of what the world would look like if the cold war never happened and Kennedy was not assassinated.
And its about people injecting literal talents and psyonick powers artificially so it does have transhumanism.
One thing about it that is different is that the aliens in it are actual aliens.

>>387885982

Not to mention they don't constantly respawn when you leave a room.

>>387885992
Lern the skill that lets you harvest alien organs early.
It will let you craft skill points faster.

As far as powers go just invest in the utility tee and pure damage psoyonick abilities.
If you want to do a no humans killed run you should also learn stun.
The game is technically beatable at 0 upgrades so dont worry to much about it.

>>387885919
>I don't have an argument
That's all you have to say kid

>>387885992
If you really want to minmax, get the upgrade that let's you harvest more from dead typhons and the the upgrade that gets you more material from recycling as early as possible. This will let you craft the most neuromods over the coarse of the game so they pay for themselves pretty quickly.

Otherwise just get whatever you want, you get a shit load of neuromods anyway.

This is bullshit and you know it. It's a generic space station, and the alternative history is just a barely relevant background.

I don't understand comparisons with Deus Ex, the essence of DE was the level design allowing for multitude of various approaches (HR captured that pretty ok); Prey's more like Bioshock in that sense.

>>387886163
So, still less than Prey.

>>387885427
System Shock isn't cyberpunk either. It's cyber, sure, but not punk. And both body horror or horror as a whole where pretty much non-existent in the original and only briefly used in the second one.

Prey being similar or different to SS, I don't think it matters at all. I value them for what they are, but at least learn to make meaningful comparisons.

How about playing through 2/3rds of the game, getting bored, and then quitting? I dislike Prey because the story was boring, I didn't like the aesthetics, none of the characters were engaging, and the combat got old after a few hours.

Certainly helps.

>>387889054
It was coined in a deus ex post mortem you phillistine pleb! That means it's 100% applicable to games of that genre and not a masturbatory term to inflate ego.

Did they fix the really bad audio mixing that happened on release? It's why I stopped playing.

If you're going to talk for an hour and a half about a videogame, at least I expect some unique input, some different way to analyze the game, something that isn't glaringly obvious by actually playing myself, something that I might've not realized by myself. He says one interesting thing in the whole video and it's towards the end. Might as well have made a 10 minutes video only talking about that, and it would've been an OK video.

And I agree with most of his opinions on the game, but I don't need an hour long echochamber telling me how correct is my opinion.

>>387889408
Nope, it was coined by Doug Church in 1994, you know, the fucking creator of that genre. Nobody on LGS particularly liked that term, but it just stuck. I don't either, but who cares about semantics and "genres". I think Metroidvania is retarded too but here we are. A game should be bigger than the genre it's labeled in.

>>387889630
this is why mark brown is infinitely better. "analyst" channels need to be purged.

>>387889490
There's such a thing as too much.
Especially given if you decide to go off the beaten path and explore, you'll find every location has rooms you'll need key cards for, so you'll have to backtrack later.
So imagine:
>go along main path
>explore side path, but can't progress further
>have to fight all the enemies that have respawned since you've been away
>continue along main path
>find keycard
>go back along main path, where enemies have respawned, to get back to the side area
>enemies have respawned in the side area
>explore all of the side area
OR
>come to another locked door that requires a key card
>repeat
That's just for exploring, in almost every side area - not even for areas that the game forces you to backtrack to.
There's too much of it. If enemies didn't respawn (every time) that would at least be something.

>>387889708
It's kind of hilarious. Arm chair designers are always pretentious. Yet they can't make a decent game even if they life depended on it. That's why they are youtubers and not developers.

Interesting. I figured /v/ would hate the game.

>>387889490
But it is?
Back track continiously with respawning enemies when ammo is scarce was one of the most tedious parts of the game. Considering I played on nightmare, having to conserve ammo meant just ignoring and running past all the respawned enemies. And considering the enemies are all different forms of black goo, that reward little for killing them, I'd say it's a bad thing.
>>387889630
Coining a term, and creating the genre are two different things. Do you have a source on that?

>>387889792
hell, say what you want about yahtzee, at least he made games, one of which helped revive 2D stealth.

>>387882762
Thematically however, the title fits.

Actually, I was thinking about his as I hit the Post button.

I loved the game about stealing, can't remember the name. I wish all "game analysts" were like him.

>>387878538
Yeah, it was pretty good. Not perfect, but a solid 7/10 (an actual 7/10, not an IGN 7/10).

OP here. I've decided to wait for a deeper sale. At least 75% off.

>>387889818
Church was the director of System Shock and like it's says in the source below, the first person in LGS that started developing the proto-idea for the genre.

>Harvey: That improvisation thing you're talking about is definitely one of my favorite aspects. Doug Church is probably the first person I heard talking about that.

And about coining the term

>PC Gamer: I was actually going to ask, I don't know if it's common knowledge where the term came from. Was it a Kieron Gillen-coined term, or if it predated his writing on the genre.

>Warren: I think Doug Church was the one who came up with that, isn't he? He's the first person I ever heard use it.

>Harvey: I don't know, I remember a conversation with Rob Fermier, I think on Twitter, where we were trying to figure out where that term had come from. I think Rob's conclusion was that he first heard it from Doug, as well.

>Warren: Yeah, and we all hated it! It fell out of favor for awhile and recently it seems like it's come back. It's really odd.

>PC Gamer: Has anyone come up with a description they like better?

>Warren: No.

i could just murderhobo my way through the game.
I DONT like that if i didnt straight up off them then it wouldn't count as my kill,
Things like letting them Mind control suicide into me didn't count as a death, or Luring monsters to them, or Setting a hazard to kill them.

Screen-fucking-cap it, I've never been wrong about a game and I played literally every Immersive Sims since Ultima Underworld.

In 10 years you'll see the usual recommendations and then "oh and if you want something more recent try Prey 2017"
I just hope it'll not be followed by "it was better than the actual System Shock 3" though.

>>387895563
>I just hope it'll not be followed by "it was better than the actual System Shock 3" though.

>implying that vaporware will ever come out

It was "announced" almost 2 years ago, yet Warron Spector recently said that it's not even in pre-production

It's the first game I ever played through twice in a row. First time on Hard, human only. Second time Nightmare, Typhon powers only. There's an enormous amount of effort put into this game considering how many ways there are for dealing with enemies and accessing areas.

There are some nitpicks though: 1) You can't fabricate more then one item at once or one item in stacks so if you are low on a certain item then prepare to spend a fuckton of time waiting around.

2) The combat is less about good movement and reactions and more about figuring out the right answer to an opponent. If you encounter a Telepath and you don't have Psychoshock/a Nullwave transmitter then you're gonna have to hope for some explosive canisters or be prepared to waste a ton of ammo. If you do have one then the fight becomes a relative cakewalk. There is no inbetween.
The Nightmare is the biggest problem. Moves really fast and oneshots you on Hard/nightmare (if you have 100 hp). His movements aren't telegraphed at all. You basically have to abuse stairs and corners or hope you have upgraded either your sprint speed or phantom shift.

3)Some of the maintenance access vents are hard to climb through so you have to back off and crouch again

4)When exiting the main lift you can't hold down a movement key since the game will not register it for some reason. In my first game that was the first time encountering a Nightmare + telepath so I needed to run to a safe spot quickly but the game itself stopped me thanks to that. Really annoying.

5) A typhon only playthrough is a bit less fun since you can't upgrade your inventory space meaning lots of return trips to the recycler/needing to spam recycler charges

6)Low gun variety. You only have the 9mm pistol, shotgun and q-beam for doing damage. The stun gun only does damage to robots and technopaths and the gloo gun doesnt deal any damage. You basically have 3 and a half guns for dealing damage.

Still GOTY 2017 for me.

I didn't care much for the combat, what really immersed me is the lore, story and atmosphere. I haven't beat it (about 8 hours in), but I'm loving all the cool shit you can discover about the station, the designs of the different areas and the mysteries that can be solved for each, as well as the growing understanding of what occurred.
Also I love Alex's commentaries on everything. I don't know why, but that fat guy has a lot of emotional weight to him.
Definitely my GOTY so far, if it keeps up this level of quality throughout the game. My only problem really is the combat is a little janky and it takes an exorbitant amount of time to finish side quests.

One thing that bugged me about the main lift is that you can't have weapons out in there. There's one section where you get attacked in the lift but before it happens you just randomly pull out your weapon which just telegraphs the whole encounter.

GOTY 2017

Its a very well made game. Gameplay wise feels more like deus ex or system shock. The story is shite, but the overall atmosphere is good and the game doesn't overstay its welcome. The enemies can get a bit boring.

I played it through without any alien powers which ended up being a nice little thing since the game actually acknowledged it AND it had a fairly big impact on the gameplay itself.

Definitely worth getting from a sale. The worst thing this game does is the fact that it carries the name prey.

One other issue I had was that the game no audio unless I alt+tabbed out and then opened it back up. Then it worked fine. Bizarre, but no biggie.
