It is not a marketing push, it is just a morsel for fans / a bone thrown after so much gloomy talk of the game’s future. There’s no ARG, just the sort of winky breadcrumbs that Redditors obsessively dig into. Of course they’re going to formally announce it at E3.

So I've been fighting mind-controlled humans in the crew quarters, and I find that I keep killing them, even though I'm using the stun gun. Is there some trick to this? I'd prefer not to kill anyone if I can help it.

If they get too close to you they'll blow their own heads off. They can also set off environmental conditions that kill them as they have no sense of self preservation, and if Typhon are around attacking they can run into the line of fire. You basically have to carefully lure/herd them into a situation where you can take them out from a distance and ensure their bodies aren't anywhere close to anything dangerous. Either than or take out the telepath controlling them before they can get anywhere near you.

Heads blowing up when they were close and alert to you was something I had to look up. I don't remember if the game really tells you about that. I thought it was the stun gun doing it and maybe I had to take out the telepath without engaging the people at all.

Kibayasu posted:I don't remember if the game really tells you about that. From memory, the first telepathically controlled humans you spot who can actually see you too are locked behind a door, and they warn you to keep your distance and not get too close. Maybe it's not an explicit warning about their heads blowing up, but the message to keep your distance is there.

It's not unheard of to release DLC the same day it's announced at a major news conference that's watched live worldwide. It would be a bigger attempt at marketing than what they tried for the base game.

I'd prefer not to kill anyone if I can help it. Also, telepaths tend to kill humans if they die too close to them. Not sure if that's just because they do some small bit of damage as an explosion when they die or if it's an intended thing that they kill their puppets with them when they are able to. Lure people away from the telepath before dealing with it.

How am I supposed to deal with military operators? I put all my points toward being able to fight well with my shotgun and those guys are an enormous drain on my resources. Are you supposed to just run past them? I really hate this part of the game.

I finished the game earlier today. Kinda odd that releasing a mimic on that one prisoner doesn't count as murder, nor does unwittingly setting off the fake cook's recycler grenade, but hey! Pacifist run! I really enjoyed how your relation to the different spaces in the station change as things go on. The lobby is this rich, dangerous, exciting place at first, and then it's kind of safe and mundane, and then later you start getting technopaths and the nightmare in there. Or how after I cleared Hardware it felt like a place I owned, and it had an airlock and a recycler/fabricator, and lots of room to sneak around, but the recurring power failures and passage between the two levels makes it kind of crap to return to in the long run. The only place that didn't really change was Crew Quarters, that was just generally a nice place to be, even when I first got there. Also, it was great that I didn't have to shoot a giant Phantom with a million bullets or whatever at the end.

Hacking can be a bit tedious but is also quite effective for dealing with military operators- I believe that once you have hacked all the operators in the area the dispensers don't churn out more, and now you have a q-beam equipped air force to murder all the Typhon.

that's a lot of effort though. IMO maxing out the stun gun or electric magic attack (or machine mind magic) combined with just running past everything is the best way to deal with it. You're in the end-game, time to rush through this stuff and go home!

Yeah, I just went for mind-electricity all the way; my roommate didn't take typhon powers and did not upgrade his stun gun against my advice, so he wound up doing hacking instead. On the plus side, he had maxed out leverage, which meant blocking the dispensers was easy.

Entropic posted:Yeah, I could never figure out what I was doing wrong when trying to gloo-up operator dispensers, the things always just broke through. If you put something bulky in front of the dispensers it will also stop them being made. It's a bit touchy though as to how you place them so once you hear the machine saying to unblock the aperture it's best to not touch it at all.

Honestly I think most games are improved by just removing minigames (maybe not DX:HR). I modded the hacking minigames out of ME2 and everything was better, i'm pretty sure Prey would be the same. Even if you want to add in time pressure you can just make it take 6 seconds or whatever where you're unable to take actions.

A disabled operator is as good as a dead operator, and won't trigger the respawn.

Anyone have any experience running any of these mods? https://www.nexusmods.com/prey2017/mods/22 https://www.nexusmods.com/prey2017/mods/7 https://www.nexusmods.com/prey2017/mods/23 The first is a graphics overhaul that seems neat but I don't know if it does enough to be noticeable, the latter two are gameplay tweaks targetting what made me stop playing (running out of ammo constantly and feeling super weak in combat to the point where I was getting too frustrated to be having fun)

Thief with its differently shaped lockpicks was the only one that got it right because lockpicking happens in real time so you've got a risk of being caught (although I'd kinda hesitate to call Thief's lockpicking a minigame). flatluigi posted:The first is a graphics overhaul that seems neat but I don't know if it does enough to be noticeable, the latter two are gameplay tweaks targetting what made me stop playing (running out of ammo constantly and feeling super weak in combat to the point where I was getting too frustrated to be having fun) If you feel weak in combat then that just means you gotta inject more alien drugs into your eyeball.

Get materials expert to get better recycling yields. Get leverage and hacking to get access to more caches of rare materials. Get firearms to make your guns more shootier. Upgrade the damage of said guns to make them more ammo efficient. Pile up reployers and typhon corpses and throw recycling charges at them.

flatluigi posted:The first is a graphics overhaul that seems neat but I don't know if it does enough to be noticeable, For the most part what it does is make every light on the station a dynamic shadow caster. I guess this one comes down to preference; the shadows can look really nice, but in some places the softer mood created by the non-dynamic lights looks better imo. It certainly doesn't make the game look worse, so do it if you want. As far as difficulty goes: If you're early on in the game, it gets much easier, as the others have said, eventually you get past an early-game hump and become quite strong. If you're more than 10 hours in and struggling though, maybe just turn down the difficulty.

And the supply issues are a deliberate gameplay control factor too, although I'm not sure how well done it is. If you give yourself more ammo, the upgraded pistol will basically end up as your machine gun.

Im on my first play through and I'm only using the human abilities. Gold pistol, shotgun and stun gun get a lot of use. Recycling all the psi needles really make it so that resources aren't a problem, ever.

I was 10 hours in and it was getting pretty frustrating, mostly because I definitely picked all the wrong neuromod upgrades. It'd been months and months since I last played, too, so I was tempted to (and did end up going through with) just restarting completely. The graphics overhaul mod turned out to drop my FPS from a ~90 average to a ~25 average even in the 'lighter' version of the mod so that went out the window. I skipped on the cheat-y resource boon mod too, and instead just ran with the 'make recycle grenades give more materials' because why the gently caress not

On my playthrough i didn't use the Q beam (you had to take damage to use it, gently caress that) so I ended up using the shotgun and grenades for everything. Pistol was used solely to plink away at fuckers at a machine gun pace from a distance. My clicking speed it obscene at this point, pretty sure i'm going to ruin my mouse.
