Prey is a HORROR game: there would be no tention to it if you could snap auto aim at the mimics instantly. The controls are actually perfect: gimped in just the right way so that you can move around just fine but combat is tiring, thrilling and exhillarating. Oooooooooooooooor... They're playing on PS4, which Bethesda Support has confirmed has control issues, that they promise will be fixed in the final game (We'll see about that). Xbox One demo is fine, no input lag, so play that if you got the choice. (The mimic enemies are still annoying to fight with a controller - their rapid movements are much more suited for quick, precise control like I hope KB+Mouse will provide)

They don't own the name Dead Space, though. They own the name Prey. But this game would work just as well with a "new IP" name - they've completely dropped the ball on marketing this game, and the name recognition means gently caress all for 99% of gamers.

Game is great on PC! Been playing for like 13 hours, mostly following the main quest path, and is still only in the crew quarters. Being OCD about picking up everything means this will be a loong game. (At least I'm not insane enough to recycle-grenade everything that can't go in my inventory...) I'm also trying to do a no alien powers run, hoping that changes something related to the plot. Also gently caress you Arkane for that jump scare in the looking glass room in the old space station director office - scared the poo poo out of me

Basic Chunnel posted:Looking to confirm something - when you move between areas, do environments change? I don't mean in the sense of new mimics showing up, I mean things like corpses dropping where they weren't before. I could have sworn I cleaned out the men's bathroom in the Talos Lobby but then when I came back around after visiting my office, it was walled off with GLOO and a gloogun-wielding dead man was holed up inside. I just cleaned out Fabrication (vertical exploration in this game is surprisingly primo) and there's a new dead woman on the stairs to the Shuttle Bay, I know I would've seen and looted her if she were there before. Yup, things seem to change a little bit as you progress through the game. Noticed that bathroom thing in the Demo too, so it's not limited to area changes.

You'll come across it later. But if you just want to open it now, the code is 5150

Anyone finished the game yet who could answer a simple yes or no question - if you never install any alien neuromods, does that lead to plot changes later on? Also, if someone wants some well hidden early neuromods in the lobby: Security station, the desk with the RPG character sheet, briefcase wedged between the left side of the desk and wall

My guess it's something like not installing any neuromods, not even regular ones. Then again, that's one of the first things people consider when doing a special run, and it's even in Dishonored 2, so not sure why they think it would take weeks/months.

My encounters with the nightmare so far was when I first went to the bridge and noped the gently caress outta there when I saw him - he was just chilling there when I loaded in though and hadn't noticed me. The second encounter was when I went to the crew quarters and he was chilling out there too, decided he needed to die, so I got killed like 20 times before I finally managed to down him.

Feels Villeneuve posted:so wait, you can kill the guy on the radio giving you objectives and try to finish the game that way? (early game spoilers) The "guy" on the radio is one of those trapezoid robots with your personality embedded. It shows up after you've watched the second half of the video in your office, and I assume you can (try to) kill it then. Though my intuitive guess is that it will just generate a new robot from the constructor so you can't actually "kill" it.

Just fixed the elevator and went back down to the lobby. Oh so you hate fighting nightmares? How about a nightmare, two telepaths, one weaver and one named Typhon at once?

I think the silent pistol is the best so far. Ammo is relatively cheap to manufacture and you get the blueprints for it in like in a dozen different places (While I've yet to find a single Q-beam ammo blueprint), gets boosted by the "security" neuromod, and doesn't have the insane damage dropoff that the shotgun has. At medium range, it feels like two or three pistol shots do more damage than a single shotgun blast.

Every wake up changed your personality, so you had nice Morgan, lovely Morgan, evil Morgan, conquest Morgan, etc. All of which left you guides on what they wanted YOU to do. Uh what, where did you find those text messages? I never remember reading anything like that.

I wonder if the Looking Glass tech is partially based on Typhon tech, the inventor seems to go more and more insane due to the screens, and the phantoms ask about what you see in the glass.

Is there any way to reduce/eliminate the corruption mechanic? I really don't like playing with a timer hanging over my head all the time.

It is a bit odd that they give you a neuromod blueprint in this mode. It's really tempting to just use all the credits on neuromods to quickly "level up" your characters.

Ravenfood posted:Thinking about it, there are two characters who presumably can get enough Typhon powers to be rejected by the Typhon gates, the Volunteer and the Director. Thing is, only one of them has a foolproof way through them, and then only if he takes the Burrow ability. Is it possible to just get yourself trapped on the wrong side of a Typhon gate? You can use the stun gun on the gate ring around a force field to disable it, so just put one in your loadout for your over-Typhoned characters.

Hourglasses also seem to work a bit weird. They seem to always reduce corruption to 30% if you're above a certain threshold, so the optimal strategy is to wait until the very last second (when your display goes all weird) before using them to get max effect.
