Also GMG is only fully legit nowadays because CD Projekt RED publicly called them out for reselling grey market keys.

Rookersh posted:Leverage 3 is important for 2 reasons you wouldn't assume. First for combat, thrown r3 stuff does absurd damage, and you can take it with you whole levels. Add the lifting speed mod/damage mod and you don't need weapons. The first two things I beelined for were Hacking 3 and Leverage 3, so I guess that evens out!  I also got an inventory upgrade (I still don't understand why that is a neuromod and not a suit upgrade)

Yeah, it's more of a constant creeping tension that never goes away than a bunch of pointed scares. I don't know if that's better or worse on the "excessively stressful" scale!

I just got the Necropsy ability and am now obsessively retracing my steps all the way back to the beginning of the game. And then I get mad when a corpse that definitely should be there has despawned

I was really worried that this game would feel like Deus Ex HR; I totally bounced off that because there were so many design choices that bothered me, like how telegraphed the "stealth route"/"combat route"/"social route" paths were for each area, and things like how you could double dip XP by stealthing past enemies and then doubling back to kill them all. Luckily, so far there has been none of that in Prey at all, like they've been very conscious about how people play this subgenre of game and have designed it to mesh very well. Like, I thought I was going to be bothered by the fact that you could drink water to slowly restore your HP (shades of Dishonored) and it was a bad time-versus-resources trade. But then I found the medical operators and so that wasn't a bad choice that the player had to make

Kontradaz posted:I need your help guys. Tell me if I'm being a huge loving dumbass - but I'm not buying any of the alien powerups because Alex Yu says they are great and then January is telling me that I shouldn't take too many because I'll become like them etc. I feel like the game isn't built around the way I'm doing it and it's kind of getting to be difficult in some parts because guns really suck in general, and I have a shiton of resources but not the primary one that is for ammo/resources I'm hoping there's some sort of payoff at the end for doing it this way, but if there isn't I'm gonna feel like a fool. At the very least there is an achievement for that. I think there's also a tweet from the developer saying "Of course you can do that, that's too obvious" when people were spitballing what the Secret Playstyle was

So in the Shuttle Bay I launched the escape pod. If I'm trying to blow up the station to stop the Typhon, did I just gently caress Earth anyway? And I realize that it doesn't matter if I'm saving anyone here if blowing up the station is the right thing to do... in terms of the main story I just got the two paths of finding the escape pod key or the destruct key. I guess I'm just having trouble parsing the decision here, is it something that becomes absolutely clearer later?

Prey owes more directly gameplay-wise to System Shock. It borrows visual aesthetics and narrative frameworks from BioShock while making them less

Cowcaster posted:Where the heck can I find the stun gun ammo fabrication plan? I can drown myself in 9mm bullets and shotgun shells if I so desired but stun gun ammo is no where to be found I found the stun gun plans somewhere but I can't remember, it's either in the Hardware Labs or Psychotronics. It's actually cheaper to make the stun gun than either of those ammo boxes and you can recycle the gun itself for even better value

Crustashio posted:Dumb question, but does the game actually end if you take the escape pod? I discovered randomly that I could gloo gun up to alex's office, which lead me to the escape pod key in his quarters, and i figured out you can use the rafters to make a gloo path to the pod. But I don't really feel like ending the game this early I saved before I did this. ARBORETUM SPOILERS Like, you can use the pod, but it doesn't have a full ending, it just gives you a game over screen. You get some revealing dialogue at least that has me thinking about what the true ending will be

Welp, I'm at the point where I'm pretty much kitted out with all the upgrades I would want, I don't feel scared by any of the enemies and it's actually more trouble than it's worth fighting them (I have 40 exotic material and I don't actually want any more neuromods) and yet I have a ton of sidequests in my log Edit: Wow, I just did the sidequest that uses the Deep Storage terminal and I hadn't really considered actually going through with the blow-up-the-station plan, but now...

No, January, the thing in the Lift is not unknown, I've already killed like a dozen of them. The game has been pretty good about reacting to different paths so that call was a pretty funny aberration

Wow, OK. New Vegas allowed for you to do that so I wasn't even considering that something unique. On the ending: I guess it makes sense for the story. It's one of those things that in terms of content and pacing would be a great cap to a short story but feels a bit grating at the end of a 25 hour experience. That said, I enjoyed almost all of those 25 hours so I'm not going to lose sleep over the ending of anything
