 I already really dug Arkane for the Dishonored games, but Prey was so good it's essentially guaranteed I'm buying whatever their next game is as soon as it is available.

When I was told to go to Psychotronics I went to the escape pod bay instead since it was unlocked for some reason. I was expecting a "Morgan wtf are you doing?" type message from someone but no one cared. There was some crazy loving monster that was levitating possessed sentry turrets around itself that I think was supposed to be the warning to turn back, but I Q-beamed it and the rest of the zone was eerily quiet except for a few mimics. I think they expected that monster to be enough of a deterrent at that point of the game. I got a bunch of neuromods and weapon mods out of it which was cool. Play your way, motherfucker  This didn't yield as much as I was hoping for but it was 100% worth it just for the spectacle and the cheevo edit: I like how the mimics seem to have different personalities; some will haul rear end away when you see them and keep running if you chase them, some will dash to cover and transform into something, some have no respect for you and will just transform in front of you, and some will just berserk into you. I think they're kind of cute and I imagine them being all "heh heh heh gonna get you gonna get you OH poo poo OH poo poo heh heh heh I'm so clever" Rinkles posted:And there'll be multiplayer prop hunt with mimics or gtfo BattleMaster fucked around with this message at 12:23 on Jul 10, 2018 |

So the option to listen to your latest audio-log is completely busted, right? When I press L it is always, loving always, Dr Calvino's tape found in the Trauma centre.

If they really wanted to dent difficulty they’d make a loop decay item cost organic. You’re absolutely swimming in exotic by stage 2. I generally end a run with something like 60+ units of exotic but with the only fresh food on the moon base I’m lucky to get 10 organic even scouring the base for flower cuttings. Hell, you’d have to actually make a choice between crafting neuromods or time delays.

Yeah organics is often a bottleneck for me too, I just have tons of synthetic and mineral material for some reason This isn't really a problem since neuromods stick around between runs but eh I think loops should cost 2/2/2/2

Okay, it looks like using the Director's objective tower zapper spits out 2000~ish bounty at Stage 2. Control modules cost 1k each, you need two to do a blast, and there's four-to-six of them free in the control tower's basement. Your money woes are now over. ee: Do it with the Engineer. She can repair the control mods for cheap and gets more bounty out of it. eee: It isn't buildings, I'm a dumbass. It just affects the third of the crater you're looking at.

The Q-Beam is super fun. You're right in what you said re the feeling of isolation. To add, SS2 also had way more body horror that was quite well done; I'm particularly susceptible to body horror and I'm sure a lot of other people find it discomfitting too. I suspect it might also be an age thing. I was 11 when I played SS2. The scene setting in SS2 also left you much more confused and alienated. The antagonists in SS2 were much creepier, which made a big difference - the Many, Shodan and Xerxes were all scary in different ways. The Typhon aren't really characters in the same way. They also didn't corrupt people and make them behave in completely inhuman ways - sure some of the humans in Prey act pretty abysmally but such cases are more understandable and pedestrian kinds of evil than. Though I like what they did with many of the human villains in Prey for other reasons especially the Yus.

Especially in Mooncrash during the Volunteer's story mission, since you're basically being mindjacked the whole time in a more devious way than what the player is used to seeing

Aside from the Volunteer (have not finished the DLC) the telepaths seem more like straight coercion, as opposed to the descent we see where infected characters in SS2 start off only slightly off and behave in increasingly monstrous ways. So it didn't seem as creepy when the mind controlled crew members zombie shuffled at you as, say, the doctor requesting young nurses be sent down who he then operates on so they can act as horrific cyborg nurse maids for worms.

Uhhh the SS2 mutant hybrids were definitely being body-controlled while conscious. That’s what made them so scary (that and the fact that they don’t make noise when moving). At least the telepath victims were discombobulated

I started with Mooncrash. I dunno, I loved Prey, but this might not be for me. I enjoyed playing Prey very... slowly and meanderingly. No pressure to move forward except on my own decisions, kinda zen, wander around everywhere poking things from every angle, and when I do go forward, setting everything up perfectly.

Then you can basically do exactly that thing that you want, at any difficulty level that you want, and enemies won't respawn unless you decide to let the Corruption go a new level (except on Corruption 4+ since that's when Nightmares start appearing and they will respawn forever)

I went back to my main game after finishing mooncrash and it's definitely a much better experience. Mooncrash is a weird experiment and props to arkane for trying something different but it's incoherent.

I thought I'd been pretty thorough about exploration in my first Preythrough but holy poo poo I missed so much. New sidequests all over the place. I never even knew that Phantoms will creepily whisper random NPC dialogue to themselves.

I really want to like this but I feel like I'm spending 90% of my time backtracking to a recycler/fabricator so I can make ammo. I like the exploration part but it feels like I'm constantly hitting walls where I need to kill something to proceed, but I have no ammo with which to do so, so I backtrack over a bunch of stuff I've done to gather some junk and find some machines and build some bullets. I might CE myself a bunch of shotgun shells or something. I get why ammo scarcity is a thing but in my experience so far it really just seems more annoying to deal with than a challenge. Sneak-attack wrenches should do more damage or something.

You need to make your ammo go further, not burn through more ammo. On the top difficulty with no relevant upgrades, a phantom can be killed by sneaking up on it and charge attacking it with the wrench, waling on it while it’s knocked over, glooing or stun gunning it when it gets back up, and then finishing it with the wrench. It will cost 1 stun gun shot or less than 10 gloo to do this. An operator can be killed with 1 stun gun shot and some wrench whacks. Enemies take a lot more damage when they’re stunned or glooed, and stealth attacks will multiply your first hit by 150% (up to 250% with upgrades). If you’re fighting something bigger than a mimic by just shooting it with the pistol or shotgun until it’s dead, you’re burning through way more resources than you need to. Later on in the game that works but early on you need to play smart. Getting the firearms skill or the skills to let you upgrade weapons more will also get more value out of each bullet. I suggest picking up the first rank of these before too long Owl Inspector fucked around with this message at 18:34 on Jul 11, 2018 |

Sneak-attack wrenches should do more damage or something. One stun-gun shot should be enough to let you wrench a phantom down, and a solid thrown object can probably knock them down enough to let you do the same. e: Also the shotgun is basically a much more damaging wrench in terms of effective range on it, so if you're trying to use it at anything other than melee range you're definitely wasting ammo. e2: And I can't really think of a specific route that requires you to kill something.

Yeah I think I blew way too much ammo early on before I recognized the scarcity. At this point I generally don't use ammo (other than some Goo) on the base phantoms but I am still up a creek against telepaths and stuff. Maybe I should start over
