Is this shit any good? Looking for 'Die Hard in a spaceship' stuff like the system shock games.
Nah it's shit
It's genuinely bad.>Enemy varietyNon-existent and not very fun.>WeaponsPure awfulness.>StoryNot very good, relies purely on subversion.>CharactersThere are none.
>>726100684it's a shame because that engine could have been pretty good if it was used to make a good game
>>726100494It's pretty great, yeah. Very detailed levels with lots of cool stuff to find.
>>726100494It's the closest thing to being System Shock 3. It's absolutely worth playing>>726100534>>726100684Don't listen to these faggots. This game is super polarizing. You're either going to love it or hate it. I loved it. It's an amazing game and one of the few major modern-ish AAA games that isn't shit. It's honestly insane that this game even got made with the huge budget it got. It's the kind of game AAA studios hate to fund because it's ambitious and unique. It really is something special and it makes me sad we probably will never get a game like it again. It's usually on sale for cheap so I would give it a shot.
>>726100494I thought it was pretty good. very atmospheric. didn't like the parts where you go outside though
>>726101827You think being a spiritual sequel to System Shock is a grand achievement on its own says all one needs to know about your supremely awful taste.You can't even describe anything that's GOOD about it, you befuddled mongoloid. Don't you even dare (you) me again.
>>726100494Its more like Doom 3 but in a space ship and the protaganist is constanyly crying about losing his girlfriend.
>>726100494That game kicks ass.>>726100534>>726100684These posters are faggots.
>>726100494Yeah it is surprisingly so, initially the whole vibe of it didn't appeal to me but I got it on sale early this year and it was great. Good immersive sim, I recommend it.
>>726102919Are you thinking of Dead Space?When the fuck does the protagonist in Prey cry about his girlfriend?
>>726100494Don’t listen to other anonsIt’s an incredible immersive sim with some genuinely amazing exploration, atmosphere, and creativity. If you like system shock you’ll love this
>>726100494It's boring.Fine for one playtrhough if you've got nothing better to do, but once the twists are exposed, it loses all appeal.
It's very good, but like all imsims it requires pretty high IQ. So if you're Indian you probably shouldn't try it.
>>726103057Oh wait you are talking about Prey, you see i'm talking about Prey. Not Prey.
>>726103314Imsim is not a genre and if you think this tiny handful of shitty meme games + OG Deus Ex requires anything resembling over a double digit IQ score, then you are a nigger. Just a nigger.
>>726103445But the OP image is clearly Prey and not Prey. Are you blind?
>>726103538butthurt indian detected
>>726102916Your arguments are hardly any good anyway so I can't see you having any leg to stand on here either, retard
>>726103563I just woke up and mistook Prey for Prey, my bad!
>>726100494>go to X for exposition dump>go to icon that tells you exact location of corpse floating through space>pick up flashing yellow post-it note to unlock door>shoot the same enemy type 1000 times until at next exposition dump locationThis game is shit
>>726100494It is an alright immsim
>>726103563I'm sorry, I get confused. I really like Prey. Prey is also pretty good, even if it's a bit older.There's also Prey, which came out recently, but I haven't looked at it yet.
>>726100494>literal dogshit game>/v/ still defends it
>>726100494Its bad, they should remake it and call it Prey just to fuck with the makers of Prey.
>>726100494What were they thinking with that enemy design!
I guess it's a mixed bag but I'm pretty starved for anything in this genre so I could just get it on super sale. Thanks anons.
>>726100494>level, art and weapon design is great>Enemy types and narrative are meh
>>726100494It is sold for peanuts when it goes on sale and it is worth that at least. Good entertainment for a run which is a couple days depending how fast you are
I liked the crossbow. Too bad it's functionality became useless with all other much easier alternatives. And also too much "lore" behind it that devs thought it was funny
>>726100494Starts great but the lack of enemy variety makes the latter half not nearly as fun. Also one side quest trivializes the difficulty since it gives you free MP regen from any water source so you can just spam all of your powers for free
>>726104463Weapons are shit. The foam gun is a bit interesting but the rest is generic af. There is pretty much no reason not to use anything besides the shotgun
>>726100684fpbp
>>726100494You might like it. It's supposedly meant to be a spiritual successor of System Shock, and was even originally going to be called Psycho Shock, but the Prey copyright was about to run out so the bigwigs made them change the name.
>>726100494>its a walking and e-mail reading simulator>no suspense>no horror>all you do, is just walk around and read emails>the story isnt even worth reading through all the shitty emailsSystem Shock 10/10Prey 1/10. Fuck off with this.
Not on PS4, no. Has an interesting start.
Look.Traveling around the derelict station is fantastic.But the enemy variety is one of the worst of any game. No, not just fps. Any game, period.There is fucking crafting.And the ending is really lame.If you like exploring and collecting trash, then it's ok. But don't look for a life-changing experience. You're not going to find it.
>>726100494It's 6,5/10, if 5/10 is absolute mid. They story is dreadful, the characters are horribly written and dumb, enemy variety does not exist, it's repetetive. The imsim-parts of the game felt 10 years old when the game was new, it brought nothing new to the table.I still like it, and I'd recommend it but don't expect it to be like the greats of the genre.
>>726105483What's the ending? I played half or so of the game years ago and remember getting annoyed at how whenever an important character said something they never said anything of value for the story, but just enough to be "exciting" because of hinting at things. I found it really annoying and cheap.
it respects the player's intelligence. i dont mean that in a fart sniffing way. they hand you tools and you just have to figure it out. what are you figuring out? figure it out. fun game.
>>726100494couldnt finish it, got bored. >its one of those FPS games where you dont actually do anything, only go from room to room and read computer screensthat is called "work" and i expect to be paid for doing it.
>>726105483Pretty much agree with this anon. It was really enjoyable faffing about the station collecting trash and looking at stuff. The story and plot was promising and as far as a video game goes quite servicable though I know people like to argue about it being good or not. Its nice just being dropped in the game and having to figure things out on your own without some NPC treating you like a brain dead mong telling you exactly what to do. Mixed bag, I think its worth your time to play but there's absolute flaws. Combat is a chore and not very engaging, the powers are pretty generic wank, its wildly imbalanced (shotgun sweeps even the biggest monsters)
>>726105638[Spoiler]Earth has already been conquered by the aliens a long time ago, and you're playing as an alien in a simulation of Morgan's life. The only human alive is Alex, Morgan's brother. You can either empathize with him or kill him. So nothing you do matters a bit.[/spoiler]
>>726105198it ain't the weapons fault you have shit taste
>>726108313>So nothing you do matters a bit.That's not true.The ending you get is determined by how you play the game. The endings are basically humanity is fucked or there's a possibility of co-existence.
>>726101091Cryengine has been used for many good games.
>>726108948For some reason I just remembered Ryse Son of Rome existed and having just recently played Expeditions Rome I'm now sad there's no Immersive Sim centered around being a speculatores for a roman legion.
>>726105807>figure things out on your ownit literally has a quest marker telling you where to go. And multiple NPCs telling you exactly what to do next>story and plot was promisingit was woke garbage with a dumb ending
>>726108313>>726105638>>726105483>muh endingTime and again it shows: the more retarded someone is, the louder they are when it comes to voicing their shit opinions
>>726105198Shotgun sucks at range and vs. technopats.Also the shocker is cool.
>>726109635>it literally has a quest marker telling you where to goLiterally (figuratively) the first thing I did was literally (literally) turning off the quest marker and all quests worked fine except for finding Bad Guy's robot budd and for the one sidequest where you need to find some guy who decided to escape Talos-I in a space suit and got fried by cosmic radiation when he exited the protective bubble around the station or something like that.
>>726110086it was even worse in Mooncrash where they straight up tell you you're playing a video game and show you sitting in front of the computer that's running the "simulation" so the whole game feels even more cheap and worthless
Its fun for about 4 houns then you realise that combat is annoying, enemies are reptitive and navigating the space station is boring and it goes on for another 8-12 hours.
I'm gonna have to paste the post verbatim https://arch.b4k.dev/v/thread/642649772/#q642666425>Think about the sheer number of people here who unironically parrot the "it was just a simulation hurr durr" and realize that they are the average person.>The point of it being a simulation is that it's a training exercise in morality and decision making that Typhon are physiologically incapable of. By implanting mirror neurons into a Typhon and stimulating those mirror neurons with realistic human experiences, a Typhon can be taught to feel empathy for living creatures that Typhon naturally cannot. The game literally opens up with a trolley dilemma and presents harder and harder moral challenges to force the Typhon-Morgan in the simulation to become less Typhon, and more human. Typhon are incapable of making decisions and simply kill on first sight on instinct and the point of the game is that humans even if they are monsters, need to make the decision to be monsters.>The ending where you need to choose to kill Alex or work with him is the ultimate proof that the simulation and Project Cobalt worked and is the real most genuine stroke of inspiration of storytelling that only video games as a medium can depict. A Typhon would have just instantly killed them but the Typhon-Morgan is human enough that it has to make a decision, something no pure Typhon can do. Even if you choose to kill him, you need think about all your experiences with him up to that point, and make the choice. That is why the Typhon-Morgan changes from a Phantom to humanoid as you choose to help Alex, because it makes the final transition from mindless monster to a thinking, feeling, human. This is the part that filters the retards because it is not explicitly narrated to them. It's okay to not get it. It's not okay to call the ending/writing shit, because you didn't notice things or figure it out.>>726108313>>726105638>>726105483>>726110460
>>726110706>words>words>wordsbro everyone knows "it was just a dream" is a shit way to end any story
>>726100494An extremely average game. The story and characters are extremely forgettable. The story is delivered mostly via fucking notes that you find which I absolutely hate. And the notes aren't interesting like Bioshock 1 audio diaries. The enemies are pretty boring. Some redeeming things about the game are the environments are pretty cool and there are some cool guns like glue gun. I think it's worth a play but don't expect to be blown away.
>>726100494Frankly I think its the best im sim.
>>726100494mimics ruin the game pacing
>>726100494I enjoyed it, but it really starts to drag by the end, there's no enemy variety and the end is a total whatever.
>>726109635You can turn all of the markers and other shit off, having people actually telling you what you should be doing makes complete sense otherwise you'd have no goals. The story and plot was absolutely promising. The ending didn't work for me but but What didn't you like about it? Use your words, not meaningless catch all terms like "woke". And yes I agree the lame and gay dnd group shit you find out about in the notes was pretty bad but you have to go out of your way to read a ton of notes to get the full gist on that one.
>>726100494seems alright don't know why there are so many black scientists though, blacks are notoriously stupid, but then again their population must be over 2 billion by the time the game takes place, they're the real threat, the game should be about futuristic niggers turning into water melons and shit
>>726101827>This game is super polarizing.It really isn't, most people recognize it as a hidden gem of the last decade. The rest just say that it isn't their cup of tea and carry on. Only retarded autists and contrarians act like they have rabies when they hear about it.
>>726100494games super woke where almost every character you talk to is gay, the main characters gay too if you play a womanyou mainly just walk around killing the same black goo blob over and over while reading emails of gay people complaining about the drama that comes from being gay and someone not liking they're gay, part of the main quest forces you to listen to a long collection of audio logs of le quirky random xd awkward lesbians flirt and play dnd togetherthe reason people jerk it off is because of retarded twist meta ending that was a last minute inclusion that retards think it recontextualized the whole game and makes it le super deep
>>726110842>any storyno. for some stories it makes sense. for others, it's a lazy way to avoid doing the work, yesjust like saying>"it was just a dream" is a shit way to end any storythere you go. you never have to think about the actual implementation of "it was just a dream". you can just lazily call it lazy and dismiss it
>>726110706None of that matters because Earth has already been conquered and whatever "coexistence" won't be happening with just one good guy out of trillions of murder machines. What is Nigga Morgan gonna do? Empathize every other nigga out of existence? Have sex with Alex and repopulate Earth with human/blob hybrids?The ending was just tacked on and it absolutely shows.
>>726100494Atmospheric, take that as you will
>>726105376/thread and i have no idea how anyone could come to any other conclusion but this is /v/ where retards shamelessly consume slop
