Just finished this game. The ending loving floored me. I was so conflicted about whether to use the nullwave or explode the station. I chose to explode the station. Shook hands with Alex.

I like the ending as simulation as it more closely mirrors the relationship that the player has with the game itself. Morgan's actions are only meaningless in the sense that your actions through Morgan are meaningless, except for how it reflects on you. It also meshes really well with the game's central theme of identity. In general, people get frustrated with the simulation trope when its used to invalidate the player's decisions. However, the ending of Prey centers the story on the decisions themselves. Typho-Morgan is still important, and its decisions are still important; just in a radically different way than you'd first suspect. Mod edit: use spoiler tags for poo poo like this.

Are the Typhon a hive mind, which typhon creatures are intelligent?

GlyphGryph posted:Digirat, since you, obviously figured out the twist and manipulated the system so you could KILL THEM ALL, why does it matter whether the rest of it mattered beyond giving you that opportunity? It was a test, and you passed, and the things you did in the simulation were real enough to alter the course of outside sim reality. Again, saying that the simulation twist makes the story meaningless also implies that the story would be meaningless regardless of said twist; because as a computer game it is literally just a simulation entirely. The entirety of the value that we derive from fiction is how it affects us, the reader.

Maybe both Alex and Morgan used Alex's escape pod. Neither a self destruct nor the nullwave device was used, which is why the typhoon got to earth Mod edit: use spoiler tags for poo poo like this. Somebody fucked around with this message at 08:37 on Aug 31, 2017 |

Perhaps part of the game's message is that how you treat others is the only thing that really matters

Cojawfee posted:I beat the game, I didn't get the full effect, since unwantedplatypus blurted out the ending without spoiler tags earlier in the thread. It was still pretty cool though. Kind of want to play it some more over the next few months to get some more achievements. I mean, if you don't want spoilers then don't read the thread.

buglord posted:Finished this game today after 21 hours. Easily the most intriguing FPS game I've played in years. I've been massively burned out from forgetful big budget games, and sorta figured story driven FPS was on its way out. Happy to be wrong!~ something that the game hammers home time and time again is that the why of your actions is just as important as the what. They're trying to test a typhon for empathetic capacity. Scurrying around ignoring what's right in the pursuit of what is optimal/what makes you a winner is psycopathic behavior. It makes sense that the game in a sense punishes you for that

Also also, I wish I could read about JFK's neuromod experience (unless he just happened to live to 114 because of a good diet and regular exercise).

Ravenfood posted:No, its just a log about a tech freaking out about a part that he tried to put into a circuit in the reactor that turned into black goo in his hands. Later, when you enter the supply room, most of the repair components on the shelves are actually Mimics. Oh wow. I was dumb and thought that the power surge was so strong as to melt metal into black goo

Section Z posted:Dumb luck makes me miss such things once again! "I got it right on the first try I assume that they stay mimicked longer when they feel they are under threat. 10 humans are more threatening than 1 human (and they're not sentient so Morgan Yu's badassery doesn't enter the equation.)
