its definitely not a masterpiece. its a somewhat interesting 6/10 game. its also the first game i can recall being in your face insultingly woke.
>>
>>750248881
why is the aliasing so ugly
>>
It's a 7/10 game at most
>>
>>750248881
Its the kind of game like Human Revolution, where as soon as you learn how to exploit it, it becomes brain-dead easy.
>>
I liked this game but I didn't like the power scaling. At the beginning you feel like a weak bitch, having to sneak around, and by the half way point you are a god just blowing past everything. Would have been more fun if the whole game was tense like the beginning. Also, the ending sucked. Give me a happy ending, I hate these "actually you lost" endings
>>
>>750249178
Human Revolution at least had good combat and a dialog system with actual choices.
A progression system that wasn't braindead as well.
NuPrey has great concepts buried underneath an average game, it pretends to promote choice but due to game design choices it forces your hand to play a certain way all the time.

It lacks enemy variety and build variety.

That's the whole point of this genre, the issue is that NuPrey makes it extremely easy extremely early.
>Spoiler
Nothing wrong with a downer ending, the endings were shit because of a plethora of other reasons, including the original concept of [/spoiler] IT WAS ALL A DREAM WHAT A TWIST [/spoiler]
>>
The ending was so ass that it literally ruined the games reputation.
>>
>>750249554
>That's the whole point
yeah but my point is it was done poorly here. In bioshock there is still challenge at the end of the games. It felt to me as if the beginning of the game was meant to be a horror game and then they forgot and gave you too much kit
>>
>>750249536
Prove me wrong, compared to other games, it's anemic, compared to NuPrey it's nigh and day.
>>
>>750249629
>In Bioshock
Bioshock sucks dick and the game is a breeze in the late game outside the shitty boss fights.
>>
>>750248881
People in general don't like imsims, like uncle Timbo for example.
>>
>>750249554
It was not a dream, you stupid asshole, everything you played happened to Morgan, then implanted into the alien thing. Did you even pay attention?
>>
>>750249703
What a piece of shit, holy fuck

>>750249810
>I actually happened
It's literally a simulation you fuckwit, regardless, it's fucking ass.
You want a game told in media res, find a concept that isn't complete dogshit and that trivializes your actions.
>>
>>750249554
Nobody likes a rugpull where you find out everything was for nothing. Name a single celebrated story that does that shit. You can have tragedies, slow downfalls, but not the hero just dying at the last minute with no (little) foreshadowing
>>
>>750250142
>It's literally a simulation you fuckwit, regardless, it's fucking ass.
No, you're experiencing what Morgan went through.
>It's ass
No, it's a brilliant game, masterfully executed and we're probably never getting anything on that level again.
>>
>>750248881
Combat sucks. Shooting at black goo is not fun

bbc and the white women
a classic.

Read my post again

>No, you're experiencing what Morgan went through.
Yes, through memory implantation.
A literal dream simulation you clueless fucking retard.

If your're an Xbox 360 midwit maybe

I played this garbage and don't remember any of the story points

me when I force my test subject to "develop" empathy by killing it and restarting the simulation every time it doesn't do exactly what I want it to
thank god they let you kill everyone in the end, what a shit setup for a story

It's a good game, but it's not a masterpiece.
And the glue gun is retarded "fix it all" tool.
>>
>hidden
everyone knows it exists
it's just boring
would rather play system shock over it any day
>>
>>750250546
Why not? You sound like a real stupid shit who never touched the thing.
>>
>>750251016
The glue gun doesn't even fix anything, it's mostly for sequence breaking. How many posts on the thread already? Are you fitting in yer, idiot?
>>
>>750248881
it falls too far short of the classics it tries to emulate to be a niche cult classic, while not being appealing to/simple enough for the general gaming audience like bioshock or dishonored
>>
>>750248881
ig it was influential enough for this tho

He's right though. When you shoot the enemies there's generally no response from any of them. They don't recoil in pain. They don't lose parts of their body. They don't even make a noise. At best they just warp away when they've taken enough damage. It's like shooting a wall

>>750248881
Baby's first imsim
>>
>combat and enemies are shit
>"uhh its retro and on purpose"
good fucking riddance
>>
>>750249703
Holy fucking based.
Plus a couple free games a month when I remember to login, I'd vote for Timmy.
>>
>>750248881
Level design, architecture, enemy variety, character writing and choice and consequence all suck ass, there's multiple points in the game where I figured out how to make a character who wasn't supposed to survive an encounter survive an encounter and the game just ceases to reference that character anymore even though their tag says alive.
I think the game badly needed sequence breaking for New game plus but it doesn't.
I will never understand why people think that Prey is the peak of the genre, is it more than the genre is bad or are they just delusional.
