Republicans posted:Is it? I've found it pretty anemic compared to the shotgun or even just the golden gun. It's a laser that makes enemies explode when you shoot them with it from any range after a couple of seconds, what more do you want? If that ain't your cup of tea, you can just prime enemies with it, and then kill them with another weapon and they still explode.

If you can't find the marker then I guess you could follow the line of enemies to them, although it's just a niche in the side of the station Looking around online and apparently it's a pretty common bug that no one has a fix for outside of reloading an earlier save. I had done a bunch of stuff before realizing it was broken so I guess I'm just waiting for a patch.

Soul Glo posted:Game is great. Best Bioshock since Bioshock 1. Kinda crazy how little Bethesda pushed this game before release seeing as how it's good, though I guess they kinda did the same thing with DOOM. i think you will find it's the best system shock, of which bioshock was a gossamer-thin reflection.

What if you just never watch the video in your office. Like can you majorly sequence break the game by doing that. Then get into psychotronics thru Nerf gun hack?

The nerf gun only gets you into the outer office, you need the keycard for the zone-transition door. Thanks for the tip about metal, I'm now drowning in it to the point where plastic is the limiting factor instead. Is there any way to gets the communications unit without Repair 3? I can't see any other way to get this door open.

Nerf gun that does zero damage is shockingly useful. Also so is leverage. Don't want the jump higher thing since I can just stack pretty much anything I want. Has anyone figured out the safety threshold before turrets shoot you on sight yet?

I decided to take a look at the config file... what the hell is this at the bottom? Are they planning a multiplayer thing? And what's with the 'seta g_roadhouseCompleted "1"' and 'seta ui_name "Tommy"'... like they copied some of it from the original Prey. e. Would be hilarious if this was somehow still there from my Prey 2006 install.. since they have the same name / install directory. Hm. checking the date modified thing, it's from 3-4-2017 and everything else is from 5-5-2017. I guess that's what it is. Very strange. Now I'm wondering what happens if I try to install Prey 2006, will it just randomly overwrite stuff in the Prey 2017 directory if anything happens to be somehow the same? e2. Anyone else see this? The Prey 2017 binaries folder path has a 'Danielle' folder.  e3. VVVV Looks like someone didn't read my edit, lol. Ambaire fucked around with this message at 10:55 on May 7, 2017 |

Might just be a legacy file the uninstaller missed. The values sure seem like it anyway. Also as loving amazing no bullshit it's amazing Prey 2017 is I would like to take this opportunity to remember how great original Prey was too.  Tommy and I'm so sorry about what happened to your girlfriend. I didn't see that coming when it happened. But I did bash her brains out with the wrench when she asked for a mercy kill.

12 hours in and i'm restarting from the beginning not because i've hosed myself or anything but just because i want to play through the first half while knowing what i'm doing. this is very unusual for me, while i play on higher difficulties i'm mainly there for the experience of one playthrough. the game's that good. there's no part where i think 'well i'd like to fire it up again but i don't want to do THAT tedious bullshit again'.

When I first got access to alien mods I followed the instructions to install a basic alien mod. Immediately after I realised that I didn't have to do that and wished I hadn't been so hasty. I quite liked setting up turrets and poo poo. I saved up my mods to get the one where you can un-mind control people. I have 3 alien mods - The mind control one and the one you have to get before it, and a kinetic blast mod that lets me do an AOE attack for 40 damage. Turrets attack me on sight now, however I am suuuuper glad that I have been hacking every one I've found until now, even though it doesn't seem to do anything. Hacking them makes them ignore you if you've got alien mods. So all my set up "safe" zones around the place that are guarded by turrets are still safe for me. Also I very stupidly tried to set up a big turret trap with 5 turrets for... a loving technomancer. Yeah that didn't go well at all. Is there any way to make a hostile technomancer hosed turret go back to normal, or am I now stuck with a bunch of packed up damaged turrets I can't repair because if I do they go schizo on me?

I'm a bit stuck. I'm about 3 hours in and I've thoroughly gone through Trauma Center, Staff Lounge, Hardware Lab (except for killing all those robots so the Machine Shop floor hasn't been entirely investigated yet), basically everywhere you can go in the Lobby without Leverage 3 (Human Resources), fixing the elevator (Arboretum, Life Support, GUTS, etc.) or getting any of the major wing keycards (Psychotronics, Shuttle Bay). Where do I get to an airlock so I can get to Calvino? Is the big fuckoff round metal... thing being guarded by three robots in the Machine Shop the Hardware Lab airlock? It doesn't look like an airlock. Sulphagnist fucked around with this message at 11:54 on May 7, 2017 |

Yes, in the Machine Shop, there is indeed an airlock and it's a big huge contraption. So, say I wanted to figure out the ID number for Morgan's ID bracelet. Any hints?

I wanted to resist Typhon mods, but they put you in one hell of a quandary. Like, combat stuff is whatever and while the traversal powers are tempting but there's usually an alternate route to any place you might want the reach with said power. But adding one that lets you save mind-controlled humans? How can I say no to that?

Is Leverage the most pointless skill path? I've come across like..Two unpowered doors that could be forced open with it, and for rooms and stuff blocked off by debris I just use a recycler charge to get in.

How do I get through those doors that are blocked by metal bars? Like, it looks like the door itself has been hosed up and now there is just a couple of metal strips blocking the way through. I heard you could use the recycle grenades and I've tried that with zero luck. What am I missing?

I was standing with a turret at the edge of a terrifying hallway and a music cue made me jump and toss it down the hallway. It was a fake out, but gently caress, the tension is a lot to handle. It's brilliant.

I've always considered myself a huge baby when it came to scary games, but nothing so far in Prey's made me wanna not walk forward. I think I've learned something between this game and Resident Evil 7-- once you hand me a shotgun, I go from a helpless, anxious mess to Doomguy.

I've only played for a few hours in total, but now the game is crashing right when it starts up. It only lets a second of the bethesda video load before it throws an error. I'm (steam) streaming it to a different computer, though, which may be an issue. Ive streamed it once before using nvidia's streaming (moonlight) and it worked fine then albeit i started streaming when the game was already up. When I try it from the beginning now, it seems to load the videos fine but it still throws the error at the beginning (the error ding sounds) and when it gets to the end of the video, it just loads a black screen and nothing else. Has anyone else run into this issue?
