LemonDrizzle posted:how can you possibly be bad enough to take falling damage when all you have to do to avoid it is activate your jetpack a few moments before impact? By forgetting you even had a jetpack indoors, I know I did until I found the two upgrades for it, extra long glide and a massive jump-boost/double-jump really opened up the indoor mobility and usefulness on it. Does anyone know if anything special happens if you go back to the simulation labs and re-complete the tests? I went back after I got the blast-wave for some side-quest or another, and did the first test using it, and the light turned green instead of red, but didn't have mimic or... the phase jump? I think is the third, at the time. I'm assuming not, cause common sense, but you never know. Also, on my second playthrough, just noticed the code for the safe by the extraction chair in sim labs is visible, and actually legible, on the blackboard in the first LG message to yourself, useful if your not investing in hacking, though I don't think it get's recorded anywhere, so you have to remember it yourself.

Holy poo poo Cystoids and Cystoid Nests make me want to loving die. I'm stuck in GUTS with low health, no medkits, out of ammo for all but the GLOO gun, and I need to make it past several packs of them to get to the nearest fabricator.  This game is way harder than I anticipated.

Lucky for you, the gloo gun is one of the better ways of dealing with them. Shoot a glob at the nest before it spawns all the cystoids and a lot of the time it will be destroyed and all the cystoids will self-destruct instantly. If you're having trouble with packs of cystoids floating in zero gravity, either fire a nerf dart at them or throw a piece of debris. They respond to movement and will kill themselves attacking whatever you toss their way, using pistol or shotgun ammo on them is a waste.

Just picked this up, and to be honest the main thing that is loving horrifying about this entire game is that Neuromods have a five-minute application time according to one of the notes. That's right, you're standing there, with a bunch of needles in your eye and brain, for five minutes each time.

On my first playthrough (no typhon mods) I got 4. On my second playthrough (went heavy into typhon mods) I got a whopping 9, but that was mostly because (quest spoilers) I didn't bother getting rid of them because really they're just another enemy type more than anything once you're kitted out enough.

The super-jump and super-sprint was the first Neuromod tree I maxed out and I'm glad I did because it means in a combat scenario you can pretend it's Doom. Also saves you Gloo gun ammo and time spent stacking boxes to reach high places. Just Metroid your way around. After going through GUTS I also have Leverage3 and the LeverageAid chip. If a NG+ mode becomes available I'm gonna stick some points in the wrench and just try hulkmoding through the game.

We're talking even beyond those cylindrical rings, right on the very edge of the "don't go any farther or you'll start taking damage" barrier. You're looking for an employee named Grant Lockwood, eventually you'll likely stumble upon a sidequest to find him if you play long enough but you can also tag him from a security station iirc.

You have to enable his security tag in deep storage before you can enable it on a security station so you can't get it right away.

I had the ending break down and get a little strange due to some of my actions, and I was sort of proud that I guess my solution to everything wasn't taken into account/couldn't be? Alex gets knocked out when uber Typhen can't remember it's name shows up, is floating in zero-g unconscious, I seal him into his bolt cave, get a checked off objective for making sure he doesn't die and leave to get going on setting up the Alien Bug Zapper. January had been surprised and sort of agreeing to all my actions, but when I get to the bridge January is arguing with Alex about what to do (none of their disagreement had happened before, they hadn't even talked, pretty sure?) and tasers Alex and starts spewing about how if I want to release the Typhen wiping out thing I'd have to ki- I gladly wrench him and eradicate the Gigantic end game horrors gripping Talos. I checked Alex's inventory after killing January and all he had on him was a bio-waste bag (heh,..) which made sense because I cleared out his inventory after leaving him safe and floating unconscious in his bolt hole. And sometimes you crap your pants when your unconscious in zero-g. So I got a teleporting reviving Alex having an instant out of nowhere confrontation with January, and also The guy I saved in the test chamber just ran into the armory next to him and stood there for the rest of the game with his back to the window (kinda great considering all hell was breaking loose through there a lot. ) among a few other what I expected were weird/not quite right interactions. Looking forward to when I eventually play through the game a couple more times and see if I can make the story run more smoothly with my choices, or try to break it as much as possible and try to show up in places when you shouldn't. Sorry I couldn't remember all the right names for stuff, my mind goes completely blank when I try to recall that stuff while staring at a white screen apparently.

Finished the game, really enjoyed it but I super blitzed through the last quarter of the game. Don't alt-f4 during the credits, instead hit esc or you'll be really disappointed with the abruptness of the ending. I guessed the twist but the payoff for your decisions is pretty good, all in all I'd say it's probably the best Deus Exalike I've played for a long time. Bioshock's visuals and world concept was more interesting and System Shock's enemies are a lot more memorable, but Prey's area design is superb in how it lets you really play how you think is best and I had a blast reading all the emails and listening to every audio log. Really appreciated the huge amounts of side missions and the characterisation of so many of the crew on the ship, lots of strong writing and a really nice sense of growing power throughout - you turn from a ammoless nobody cowering from every mimic into an unstoppable beast by the end of the game, if you spec right. Didn't use any Typhon abilities, instead relied entirely on Combat Focus + Shotgun + Mobility and it was awesome. Played it like DOOM and had a really good time. Score another "Woah wait this game is actually good?" from Bethesda!

More meant to imply the lovely marketing job they seem to be doing with the great games other people are putting out. Prey wasn't even on my radar (Other than its name) until word of mouth sold me on it. Between this and DOOM I honestly think they should take a good look at their marketing tactics because boy I almost missed out on two of the best shooters for a long time.

Doom was especially god drat egregious because they DID put out marketing video,s but it was garbage intentionally slowed down videos showing a bunch of ~cinematic kills~ and really loving slow gameplay. They honestly got really lucky that Nvidia did their god drat job for them and put out an nvidia showcase video that showed "hey this game is fast as gently caress and very fair to older games with it's fast movement". People were still skeptical even seeing the nvidia one because they had saw months of garbage slow-rear end videos up until a week of it's release. Fortunately word of mouth probably saved them They should just fire their entire marketing team. It's not only ineffective, it's intentionally damaging to their sales and full of loving idiots.

The thing is that Bethesda's anti-reviewer and anti-consumer marketing policies are fine for their Elder Scrolls and Fallout games, which sell themselves, and to a much wider audience that doesn't care about the same gameplay elements that most "core" gamers look for. I remember reading a rather convincing post that the Nvidia gameplay style, which works well for people who are buying video cards and know their PC shooters, would actually be a turnoff to a broader audience who couldn't handle the pace. Doom probably got a boost in sales even with that kneecapping just because Doom is a brand with a huge built-in loyal following that keeps their ear to the ground anyway. Prey, on the other hand...

I think there's one or two unimportant areas like med facilities that are only available via coffee cup, but you can beat the game not using any neuromods. There's even a cheev for it. Random edit: Prey really reminded me how much I loved the "hide until caught then gently caress poo poo up" approach to games, which got me to play Metro 2033 and Last Light again for the first time in a few years. I'd forgotten how good they were. Asbury fucked around with this message at 04:32 on May 19, 2017 |
