I usually hate "horror" games, especially the ones that excessively jump scare you but somehow I not only don't mind Prey but I kinda like how tense the game is. I think it's probably because most "jump scares" in Prey aren't scripted to be unavoidable. I can be proactive about not getting spooked by being observant, since mimics have a whole bunch of tells.

Punch everything! I just noticed that the waterfall in the garden area before deep storage is a looking glass. This game is so loving good  .

Cnidaria posted:Yeah I'm early in the game and iv'e just been stealthing around phantoms instead of fighting them usually. You can also spec into better stealth attacks so you can do huge damage with the wrench. Oh so this is a Bethesda game after-all. Stealth archery challenge, kill the biggest mimic with a sneak attack from the huntress.

Ms. Chanandler Bong posted:Why no reviews? Embargo is till day after release? Bethesda operates a policy of not supplying reviewers with review copies before launch. They got it at launch just like anyone else (apart from certain high profile streamers it would seem). The reviews are probably being written as we speak.

In any other game the nerf crossbow would be a one-off joke, but here it actually has some practical applications!

Ms. Chanandler Bong posted:Why no reviews? Embargo is till day after release? Some are dropping here and there from possibly just speed running the game as hard as they can, and this one does bring up the excellent question of how the mimics are like the evolutionary step of the over reliance on jump scares. Now there's a scare from anything and everything!

Can anyone help me reach Josh Dalton? I can see him, but there's not quite enough room to squeeze through this opening (the pipe takes it all up). I can enter the pipe, but it goes somewhere completely different. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=920157439

Can someone definitively tell me if I want to mess with typhon nueromods but don't want to trigger some bad ending or w/e ending is associated with it, can I install any of them? There are some mind controlled humans I want to try to save but it seems to require the associated psi power...

No idea. I'm still on my first run and taking things very slow as I creep around. That being said I installed the coffee cup power (because hell yeah I want to sneak through tight gaps) and the turrets don't shoot me (yet) but they do comment about it when they scan me. I think that's all I'm going to use until I'm happy with all my tech skills anyway. Not really trying to metagame as such, just taking it as it comes. I was immediately told off for turning the prisoner into exotic materials without a second thought. Sorry January, I just wanted more materials and that was all I cared about..

Your use of typhon nueromods and whether or not you killed any humans is mentioned in the post-credits scene, and it's... implied that it might have some impact on the outcome of that scene but I'm not sure how much.

Dammit I'm down that drat zero G tunnel at the sub junction. I am NOT backtracking through all the nasty poo poo behind me. Hopefully I remember to go back there once I reach the lobby again at some point.

I think chipsets/misc loot are randomised. Some other stuff seems to be too, one point early on in the game my helper buddy told me he got the impression some minor character really admired me. I reloaded that section and my buddy said he thought the guy hated me.

Prey is the spiritual sequel to System Shock 2 we should have gotten all those years ago. Biolol, amirite? I'll have to revisit my developing opinion on the game, but drat if this isn't GOTY material so far. It feels refreshing to play a game in a setting that feels like a real place and not just a series of plot-locked doors.

Protip, don't get kinetics. It looks good on paper but it's a huge pile of psi power used and it isn't that useful in practice.

im enjoying the game but don't feel it's really going to open up until I get whatever alien powers are in the game into my skill tree. iI reached the atrium workshop just now and have some neuromods but really want to wait for the cool poo poo. I rushed Necropsy so I could harvest lots of alien corpse poo poo and recycle but I hope I find another recycler soon, it's a bummer to have to rush back over to Morgan's office right now.

I was amused by the lab where there's a post-it on everything in the lab that reads "NOT A MIMIC". I'm stuck in the Morgue though: I've been waiting about 15 minutes for a Science Operator to turn up to tail into the Morgue, which supposedly happens on the half-hour, but it's now 05:03 in game time and still no sign of the critter... am I missing something here? There is another way in, but I'm trying to avoid the action that enables that way... Quinton fucked around with this message at 16:24 on May 6, 2017 |
