Why the FUCK didn't you guys tell me that this was one of the best games of the past few years? It's everything I wanted from a System Shock successor and more.
Why the FUCK didn't you guys tell me that this was one of the best games of the past few years...
Mason Roberts
Jason Thomas
Unironically too perfect.
Aiden Reed
because the story sucked and the combat gets boring mid way through the game.
Ryan Richardson
because this board was too busy crying that it had nothing to do with Prey 2. which had nothing to do with the orginial Prey to begin with.
Isaiah Jackson
I think bioshock infinite made people hate immersive sims so much that every game afterward fell into a black hole of obscurity.
Prey is one of my favorite games, absolutely fantastic. With a higher budget it could have been a masterpiece, you can definitely feel where the game runs up against its limitations. And the story ultimately is a bit disappointing compared to what could have been, still better than 95% of video game stories though.
Mooncrash is also a lot of fun, if short. Well worth playing through if you enjoyed Prey, and it actually adds a meaningful bit of story.
Ethan Ramirez
If you paid attention to the game the entire point of the simulation was that they were running Morgan's hypothetical Project Cobalt in real time; implanting mirror neurons into Typhons and giving them real human experiences to teach them morality and empathy.
It's known that Typhon cannot recognize humans as friendly and only see them as prey, hence the point of the title, so the instant they see a person, they instinctively go into "kill and consume" mode. Typhon can't intelligently make the decision to not kill people because they don't have the empathy to stop and think that the humans they're consuming are suffering and dying.
At the end of the game if you had a neutral-good or better ending Typhon-Morgan is given a choice to either help Alex and the remaining humans and kill them. The "it was all a dream" ending is actually not just all a dream and it all had a point because the simulation taught the Typhon-Morgan human empathy and humanity, evident in the fact that you get to make the final choice of the game to kill the humans or not, which a pure Typhon cannot do. The point of the simulation all lead up to that one moment that proved in the end, Project Cobalt was a success and Typhon-Morgan had to stop and choose whether to kill the remaining humans or not, which no Typhon could do before the mirror neurons implants and simulations. The simulation was real enough to matter to Typhon-Morgan and that's all that matters.
If you did not understand this then you were quite simply not intelligent enough to see the real ending.
Connor Walker
Because the actual threads talking about actual games get less than 50 replies and are buried at the bottom of the catalogue because porn and politics take the fore front
Wyatt Brooks
you really have to wonder if the Apex was real
Gavin Gutierrez
>Best story ever
>homosex character
whatever
Cameron Jones
>immersive sim
fuck off
Adrian Nelson
It sucked shit and sold like shit for that reason.
Carter Green
It's competely ruined by the "it was all a dream" ending
Dominic Wood
Cope
Ian Lewis
I loved the first half but near the end it felt like they were ran out of ideas and just had you running around the station doing busywork.
I started just using the decoy ability to get past all the enemies and rush to the end.
Josiah Hughes
Refer to
Parker Wood
4 hours in, I had like 90+ shotgun shells.
The funniest part id that apparently people struggled with the resource management in this game. really shows you how fucking retarded the average player is
Adrian Price
Easton Morgan
recycle literally everything and the only thing you'll have to worry about is neuromods
Jeremiah Bennett
they were only gay if you played a female morgan
Asher Lopez
Connor Morgan
no game has made a better email simulator
Chase Myers
>Why the FUCK didn't you guys tell me that this was one of the best games of the past few years?
because it isn't
Landon Richardson
>headcanon nonsense
not reading that shit, story sucked
Parker Perez
you could also just climb through
Asher Lewis
Filtered
Brayden Long
>this shit makes tards lose their little minds
lmao
Jaxson Mitchell
if seeing how bad the story is being "filtered" these days then i guess so
Brody Martinez
do I need to do all the side quests to get to the true ending? alot of them are just plain bad
Jeremiah Bennett
It flew under people's radard because of the time it released.
The DLC is also good.
Evan Gomez
>newfaggots literally making shit up and shittalking prey 2
nuke this place now
Easton Peterson
name a dozen other games that let you do the same
Nicholas Hughes
There's no 'true' ending really. The ending you get mostly depends on your choices throughout the game, but to get one of the endings you need to befriend a certain character and find two keys.
Nathaniel Sanders
is it Morgan's handicapped gf?
Juan Richardson
It was pure fucking garbage.
Jace Roberts
It's an AI.
Gavin Turner
>WUt gME lt I do thinGHy
i would rather play good games
Jeremiah Barnes
don't tell me it's December, he was destroyed by January
Levi Long
Like Prey?
Robert Jones
It flew under people's radard because it's trash
Camden Rogers
holy fuck, i never thought about this one
Anthony Richardson
It's not December. It's January.
James Harris
OG prey? Sure it's decent
nu-prey? no way
>filename
just embarassing
Caleb Scott
got ya, thanks. appreciate the help
Jason Walker
Based OG Prey appreciator.
Asher White
hmmm, might pirate it to see if it's any cool
James Powell
the intro to the game is solid, im midway through the game.
Brandon Thompson
It has one of the best openings of any game ever. If you do like it, but it. We need more vidya like Prey.
Josiah Mitchell
aight, downloading it now via steam
Connor Johnson
Prey 2 died for this pile of shit
Michael Bennett
user, prey 2 was dead long before this game started development
Matthew Hughes
Good.
Chase Morris
Oh yeah I never finished this.... I need to go back and replay this one
Christian Ortiz
Because there are too many brainlets in here that got filtered early in the game and then spend every thread echoing similar sentiments of "it's shit", "no hidden routes", etc.
Bentley Richardson
No. Not good. I wanted a bounty hunting game with cool gadgets and parkour. Instead I got a poor immersive sim with a fuckload of backtracking and loading screens
Carson Baker
>I glue an enemy
>I then hit the glue
>wtf why are enemies escaping
Holy shit, I knew reddit was retarded but still
Jacob Lopez
Why are people pretending that Prey 2006 was some sort of underappreciated masterpiece? Is it just falseflagging? Don't get me wrong, OG Prey was a really cool game and I'd like to see more Native American representation in vidya, but outside of a few gimmicks, it didn't really do much to separate itself from other FPS of the time.
Ethan Sanchez
This. The first half of the game exceeds the hype, absolute kino. Everything afterwards drags the game down into mediocre territory.
John Jones
Chase Martinez
>Goes with a hacking build
>Tries to kill things in combat
Fuckin hell, I'm glad I've never been to that shithole.
Mason Clark
that's literally canon you enormous retard
Anthony Smith
Prey 2017 is the brainlet game. You can continually go back to various operators to restore your health, psi and suit integrity. If you even invest a single point in a psi ability every enemy becomes a complete joke as if the stealth attack bonus wasn't great enough. Upgrading weapon damage is also a pretty easy path to continual victories. For fucksake there are even fabricators which allow you to create ammo and neuromod stockpiles.
Jacob Watson
Jayden Butler
Prey 2017 is a midwit filter.
Ryan Baker
Fuck off back to plebbit scrub
Ayden Jackson
Why do they even try killing everything? They could run, or stealth, or whatever else.
Blake Price
My guess is that they don't understand what the game actually is and think it's just a basic FPS where you shoot anything that moves.
