Prey is 80% off. Tell me it's worth it or not? I can get deluxe edition for $10 CAD

It really bother me how much hate it got. Literally another Bio/System shock game.

Yes its worth it. And once you've gone through the first time you can play through it relatively quickly, so going back for alternate playstyles isn't a huge chore.

Original Prey was 500,000x better. NuPrey is like NuDoom, flashy garbage for nugamer morons.

What's the relation between the two games besides the name ?

>NuPrey
What, like the DLC? It's not that much newer

You see OP this here's a faggot. Make sure you're not like him and buy the game.

you mean the generic shooter prey? and before you start shrieking like a nig with a cig the walking on walls and portals weren't enough to save it from being painfully mediocre.

Absolutely none

The original game, you child. There was a game called Prey before this new pile of shit, you know. Released in 2006? The one with aliens and a guy that can walk around outside his body?

you are fucking stupid if you think old prey in any way compares to what arkane did with prey.

Prey (2006) was ok but generic at times. It had some cool moments, but those few cool moments are the only thing keeping it above the average mid 2000 FPS snorefest

It controls like an FPS, which is why that is relevant. Retard.

It does not support controllers.

it's easy to recognize the mimics so it's never that scary. more of a cool detail than anything

The game world itself is very, very good. You have plenty of ways to solve problems and explore. However, everything else is pretty bad. Mimics are cool for the first hour, but get old quickly. All other enemies are just ugly and boring. Guns are too weak and boring.

Well and you obviously didn't play this "NuPrey" you don't even know what genre of game it is.

Is this game open-world?

its a Metroidvania with loading screens

>playing FPS with a controller

I bought the DLC and got something called Prey Typhoon Hunter, the Steam page description is extremely confusing, can someone explain to me what this is and if it's worth my time.

Out of curiosity, how replayable is Prey?

typhoon hunter is vr trash that requires a bethesda account, it's like a little "bonus" to buying the dlc.

Don't bother, it's a multiplayer mode but finding players is impossible.

Steam has a built-in controller interpreter, you can play anything on any controller if you know how to configure it, it's pretty amazing desu.

also seems to be broken (login servers are shut down) according to all recent reviews

I'd say "not very". Can't sequence-break without doing speedrunner glitching bullshit, so progression is pretty linear every playthrough.
I replayed it once, to try an all-alien neuromods run, after doing all-human my first run. I hit the "let's-just-get-this-over-with" point much faster in the second run.
It technically has bots, but it sounds really, REALLY lame, so I've never fired it up.

I heard that Prey is basically BioShock but in space, is that accurate?

so minecraft is an FPS now?

>BioShock but in space
I hate you so much.

The joke writes itself folks. Autistic nostalgia is one hell of a drug

>playing games on a computing machine aka PC

There's some light platforming to Prey, and combat in the early and mid-game is generally more difficult. But otherwise, sure.
It probably is closer to System Shock 2, yes.

There are only 2 (3) good jumpscares. The mimics don't really scare too much, you get used to it pretty fast.

Happens pretty much all the time, but those mimics aren’t even the spooky ones you’ll soon learn.

Prey was great
we need more native american heroes in games

Its ending will ruin the whole game for you so dont buy.

Mimics dont exist much in this game. They are a gimmimic.

Very much so. Stellar game. Afaik it's the only good Immersive Sim to come out in the last 5 years aside from Dishonored 2.
Good for a second playthrough, not much for 3. Aside from major story elements changing based on your decisions, the RPG elements are restrictive and you can't do everything on one playthrough. I did my first run with human upgrades and saved going all-out on Typhon for the second.
It helps that the overall world layout is nonlinear and you can mix up the way you do things.
It has some similarities in terms of the art design in places. Not quite Art Deco, but closer that most aesthetics. I'd say it's more System Shock 2 crossed with Dishonored.

Attached: bonedad.jpg (400x400, 49K)

For $8 this better be good.

I never bothered to finish it: too many loading screens, and it played like Dishonored (which is already shit) but worse

I pirated it and had a blast. The game gives you the tools to have fun. You can upgrade strength and hurl couches at enemies, recycle them with grenades, encase them in glue then wrench their shit bus most people just shotgun stuff then claim the game is boring. If you upgrade the alien powers you get even more stuff to mess around with. Exploration and the staff bracelet tracking is pretty nice. I remember I found a dead guy crammed up some air duct that had a suit upgrade which increased speed while in space. Spent a bunch of time fucking around outside and looting everything the spaceship and dead people.

>too many loading screens
Is this b8? There's only one loading screen per level change and you can easily spend an hour on each level. What are you comparing it against? Nu God of War?

If he's a resource-hoarder, like me, he was probably constantly backtracking to offload recyclables.
Even without that, sidequests are going to have you constantly moving through multiple zones.
It's mostly a problem in the first half of the game.

Technically you explore the entire station so yeah?

That's peak Immersive Sim right there. Almost like the inciting incident of the genre, actually
>"There was a moment when we were working on Ultima VI that I'll never forget," says Spector. "I was watching testers play this area where your path is blocked by a portcullis, and you had to flip a lever to raise the portcullis and advance. The tester didn't have the telekinesis spell that you needed in order to flip the lever, and I thought he was doomed. But one of the members of his party was a talking mouse, and since the portcullis was a simulation, the mouse could actually wriggle through it and flip the lever. And I just fell on the floor. No one else in the world had ever done that! You weren't supposed to be able to do that! And I thought to myself, ‘That, that is what I'm doing for a living from now on. I'm going to make things like that happen.' That's the immersive sim right there – all because of an accident."
Oh wow I just looked it up and Spector even praised Prey 2017 for embodying the design philosophy.

That is why I love immersive sims. Let me just try shit to see if it works. It usually doesn't, but when you create some Rube Goldberg-esque contraction to see if it would actually work and it does, that is just a great feeling.

Absolutely, if you're a fan of Deus Ex, System Shock 2 or Thief. It's an immersive sim through and through.

All that vitriol comes from a board and it's not Yea Forums. And it's because one of the NPCs is a lesbian.

It's literally the best immersive sim released in years, maybe in over a decade. The gameplay is really fucking good, all the shit you'd look for in a game like this. Lots of systems to play with, lots of paths to take, lots of ways to finish shit. The GLOO gun is probably the best addition to the genre in years, and the weirder powers you can get are pretty unique.

The level design's fantastic. You can go EVA too, and the outside of the station matches the inside. Game's not perfect. There's some balance issues and if you know where to go you can break the game pretty early on. Enemies are creepy but there's not really too much variation between them, and the story starts out very strong but slackens as the game goes on.

Also yes get Mooncrash, it's a rogue-lite variant of the game that uses a Risk of Rain-style difficulty progression system.

>Risk of Rain-style difficulty progression system.
What does that mean? Never played RoR

There's a timer counting down. The longer your current run is the more difficult it becomes.

That would be tough, considering Prey 2 never came out and all we ever saw was a super scripted trailer. That's called an excuse, my son, that game was dead as early as 2013.

And if you take too long you flat out lose, which I personally think is shit.

I found a way to cheese it and bought those timer extension items by the truckload. Never let the corruption or whatever progress beyond the start since it only added enemies and blocked doors.

Abso-fucking-lutely.
I bought it on sale last year and after finishing it I can say without a doubt that it is a fucking travesty that it didn’t sell better.

What? You wake up and see the same robot floating scene as the real ending. If it's impossible how did I realize it?

I found a hole on my first playthrough of mooncrash before they subject you to the corruption shit. I was able to get into all 3 of the outer areas and explore the shit at my own pace. Was pretty dope, but you can't go back to the middle to finish the run as it intended you to so you end up having to use the spaceship to escape

What? If you take the escape pod ending you get a fade to black, some electronic effects, and Alex saying "we failed, this isn't the one" before getting a game over
You can see it here at 1:07 - youtu.be/z9wZv4NJXbU?t=67
You're saying taking Alex's escape pod gave you the proper ending?

What happens to the "cook" again ?

On mine he ran to an escape pod and sudoku'd with a bunch of recycler grenades while trying to take me with him. Not sure what other possibilities are possible.

The fat guy you find is not the cook. The real cook is dead and you can find his bracelet in the freezer or something. You also find the cook's room and he's a tall bearded dude in his log/pictures. The fat guy is an inmate that was being used for experiments. He escaped and killed the cook.

Hello, reddit!

>BEING POOR
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA *WHEEZE*

You're wrong its the opposite. Yea Forums overrates the fuck out of this boring ass game

When the game was released, the threads I saw were ones that were complaining about the fact that there's so much unrealistic diversity, token hires at positions of leadership and abnormal overrepresentation of gays and unneeded focus on them. Only the latter is a valid point since the rest is the result of demands by the Soviet Union. The US side of the project may have wanted the most qualified people to be hired but they couldn't just overrule the side who wanted to hire based on forced equality.

How is it boring? The only things it does worse than System Shock 2 are that its atmosphere is bland and unthreatening, and it has no interesting villain. I suspect that most people who find the game boring are solving every "problem" with some officially recognized solution rather than by improvising. They grind for neuromods to unlock high level hacking in order to get past a keypad instead of stacking things so they could reach a window through which they could shoot at the touch screen of the door opening panel with the toy crossbow. They install strength mods so they could lift away some crates instead of exploring for explosive canisters they could stack next to the crates to move them with the force of the blast.

Denuvo does have a significant impact on this game though. Since Denuvo causes loading screens to take longer, what do you think it does to a game that has two loading screens for every time it loads?

This is blatantly and objectively untrue.
Yes, Mimics and Phantoms have many variants.
Even ignoring all those, there's at least 6 other alien variants (Cystoids, Nightmares, Telepaths/Technopaths, Poltergeits, and Weavers), humans, and robotic enemies.

Not him, but I thought the glitchy sound effects and Alex saying "no, that isn't right" or some shit made it pretty obvious that the game was taking place inside an experimental simulation of some kind. Putting that optional ending near the game's mid point wasn't a great idea, imo.
