The original Prey 2 looked like anachronox with FPS elements which I think would have been extremely cool :(

Yeah, the original Prey 2 looked a lot more fun. And I think it still had references to the first protagonist Tommy, which was cool since not many games have Cherokee protagonists.

"Failed to meet Bethesda's quality standards" Yeah I trust Bethesda's side of the story when they make that allegation.

LOL at Bethesda having quality standards. They've been releasing the same buggy-rear end horseshit open-world game since 2008.

This is the god drat truth and every iteration is more and more derivative. I played Fallout 4 all of eight hours before I was like OH BOY and started drinking instead. IMO better hobby.

Leaving aside Bethesda-developed games, their publishing wing has been really solid in recent years what with Dishonored, Wolfenstein and Doom.

spiders that turn into chairs are truly the deadliest foe. maybe if it wasn't in a fps there would be a reason to sit on chairs and you would never know if it was really a spider!!!!

Maybe like in the (new)Prey trailer you need to sit down and talk to people about stuff but you cant because your chair might eat you. It's a serious problem solving dilemma.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

This will be the fourth attempt at making a game called Prey, none of which have anything - narrative-wise - to do with the others

the new Deus Ex looks pretty sleek. Will the story throw that humans Vs. "the different" really hard in our faces ? I just want to sneak around without being preached a sermon about integration.

Why can't anyone make a good Thief game anymore ?! :argh:

what the gently caress is the point of enemies disguising themselves as objects if the games just going to immediately tell you they're a mimic as soon as you look at them

The rest of the chumps are tricked but you, being the hero, see right through it. That's what makes heroes special. Or like that movie They Live

Because there is always one or more loud vocal hipster poo poo head who is related to the CEO who has to get an idea to change something from the orginal so he can say 'there, I did that' to the next game company after they go bankrupt or sold off for tax dodging reasons.
