I haven't tried the demo but I'm really interested in Prey just going by the setting, atmosphere, and the promise of it being basically System Shock again. What makes it so good?
Well, it basically is a next-gen System Shock with everything that this entails:
-a giant space station free to explore an hour into the game with places locked behind necesary tools/powers that reward backtracking
-tons of secrets, detours, alternative routes to objectives, viable gameplay styles, tons of key cards, codes, emails, the game is really swimming in this stuff
-emergant gameplay where you can combine different tools you're given to use against the enemies in creative ways, you can focus on engineering or mental powers or being a wizard etc., there's a lot of Deus Ex in this System Shock
-I dig the setting and the aliens being able to turn into any item in a room and then you being able to get those powers from them

Overall I just really like how much this game lets me gently caress around and explore, try weird ideas and then see them realized because the devs actually thought about that.

The Darksiders 3 gameplay looks like straight up garbage. Somehow they decided it would be a good idea to take a series known for ludicrously hefty weapons and make the main character use a wimpy little whip.

Like I guess whips can be interesting weapons but you really need to emphasize the *SNAP* and make it look like it loving hurts and the Darksiders whip just looks like it's gently brushing the enemies.

I'd be more worried if that was demo footage and the game was expected to come out this year. But it's pre alpha and due in 2018.

They also didn't show off any spells :saddowns:

That doesn't sound like gameplay you're describing.

War is not the kind of character design you want to replicate.

My issue with Darksiders 3 is that Fury isn't one of the four horsemen. Why can't she be Plague or Pestilence?

Because they're been Death, Strife, Fury and War since the first game?

It's not like the original 2 Darksiders had particularly amazing combat so complaining they the sequel looks bad because the combat looks different seems odd.

It's also pre alpha and looks pretty much like it was hastily put together due to the leak. I think it was a bad idea to put it out, but I'm not going to be terribly fussed about it.

DOOM is on steam as Ultimate DOOM so it wouldn't run into this problem.

What's happening is that Prey (2017) is using the folder "Prey", which is the same folder Prey (2006) used back when it was available on Steam. You can't buy 2006 on Steam anymore and no one thought to check. Brutal.

I understand that it would overwrite it on your PC but normally you can download games that you bought on Steam even if they're not available for purchase anymore so that's really weird.

Didn't they sue Notch over Scrolls in 2015 or whatever? Kinda funny because I think Notch is worth more than Zenimax at the moment.

It's not the combat looking bad mechanically, which yeah, the first two were definitely simple as well. The criticism is the actual animations don't look very good. But again, very early footage. I'm sure they'll spruce them up in the next two years, and magic and apparently transformations will also help.

I like that Fury's hair is constantly floating.

^ definitely Thai food.

Five Guys is okay, but it's no contest between it and even mediocre Thai food.

edit, and yeah, a medium fry is more than enough for two people. One time I thought I should splurge on a large to split between two people, and we ended up with an entire plate of fries leftover.
