Same. Really the turrets are mild annoyances to both you once you are full of Typhon juice and to the Typhon themselves.

Speaking of coral, I keep thinking of something I heard in the game but I'm not sure I'm getting it right. When you're analyzing coral for Alex, I thought he says something like he recognizes people in the structure of the coral, like the Typhon are building it out of the people they've consumed, which kind of makes sense. I had managed to spoil myself on the ending, and when I heard that comment I was sure it was going to turn out that you save the dead crew by extracting the information in the coral and stuffing it into robot bodies. This would explain why the epilogue characters from the simulation and presumably the actual event are operators rather than actual flesh and blood survivors. But it seemed like it wasn't mentioned again, so I might be way off base.

double nine posted:it's the lack of cables. This new version seems more of a ... punker hair style than an AI with cables and circuitry everywhere. It is also a lot more round, the original SHODAN had a far more triangular outline. "Original"?

John Murdoch posted:This spoiler completely ruins everything but this was specifically a thing that bugged me about the game soooo there is literally no penalty whatsoever to killing named Phantoms. They are not human, they can not be saved, there is no uh oh last second reveal that you've been killing people. I don't even remember if the game even goes into any detail as to why they exist beyond the obvious. I can't remember if it was a fever dream or what, but while exploring outside the station, I thought Alex says that the coral is manifested from psychic material, that is, it's not made of people, it's made of the mental make-up of people. The Typhon see our brain information as construction material, not as evidence of other sentient beings. So named Typhon have details that we might use to recognize a person, but this is only a facsimile appearance, it's still just a Typhon that ate somebody. I do think immmersive sims should have choices and consequences, but diluting that into a binary morality system seems to turn complex systems into "do you want to be a Jedi or a Sith".

I like that Liberty Island is very action oriented, though, even if there's too much open space. "Here's some tools, some goals, go have fun." That slow technobabble-laden walk through the beginning of DX:HR is really dire.

Plan R posted:I was burned out after playing through the base game four times. So Mooncrash is good then? Worth a reinstall? Each loop runs on a timer, which can be kind of aggravating if you play these games slow and careful like I do. (The timer is necessary though.) It's designed really well and is still absolutely an immersive sim, despite the differences.

I like that it's less of a 'twist' and more like a gameplay conceit. The twist in SS2 doesn't really make you think about what you're doing on a replay (other than maybe listening to Polito's emails a little differently), in Prey I think why did they design this particular part of the simulation like this?
