This game is a criminally underrated masterpiece
Replaying Prey
Lincoln Moore
Wyatt Hill
I don't get it
Mason Collins
It's a foreshadowing of the ending of the game
Michael Thompson
>Storytelling through text email
It's not 1996... better luck next time.
Jaxson Lopez
Not everyone has the attention span of a gnat like you
Mason Thomas
>lazy exposition dumps are somehow the player's problem
Imagine if they stopped a movie every few minutes and made you read a pamphlet detailing character motivations instead of just showing it on screen through some entertaining means.
Justin Roberts
this is not a movie, is a videogame

sperg
Angel Collins
yes, sadly, I have little faith in ss3 and getting a sequel to this game that plays like spiritual succesor to ss, is close to 0
Josiah Green
That's not an exposition dump tho, it's scattered in-world flavor, which is only ever accomplished through text or static / looping images. Prey's storytelling is mostly conveyed through in-game cut-scenes.
Luke Garcia
masterpiece of shit
Ryan Lewis
Games aren't movies, retard. Movies are 3 hours long, tops. Games can be long as fuck and allow to find information in organic ways like rifling through notes and mail.
Liam Robinson
This is the most pathetic game on Zig Forums. Every aspect of it is stolen from a different, better game, even the title. How do Prey (2017) fans feel about this? And are you guys still trying to push "immersive sim" as a genre?
Chase Hughes
>organic ways
lol
Oliver Stewart
>tfw probably never going to get a sequel
Isaiah Kelly
>There's an ending after the main ending where it turns our you're a Typhon-Human Hybrid.
>The entire game was a simulation of what happened on Talos I that cause the invasion of Earth
>Alex Yu the Brother of Morgan, is trying to put empathy into "you", to try to find a negotiator to end the conflict and start the road to a better future
>If you were mostly a dick they just kill you on the spot
>If you weren't entirely a dick, or were just a good person overall, they let you live but the game gives you a choice.
>Take Alex's hand and start the healing process, or reject it, and kill him, thus dooming mankind.

>Every aspect of it is stolen from a different, better game, even the title.
I just realized that's why nuPrey's audience is so insecure about how other people feel about it. Truly.
Jonathan Brooks
>muh video games
fuck you niggers always complaining!
Jaxon Watson
but that's unironically one of my favorite parts of these types of games. I read every text, every book, every document, every email in games like prey, deus ex, etc. because it helps to build the world and characters and help me understand what's going on.
Jackson Garcia
>Baiting this hard for (yous).
Consider this a pity one.
That's fine, it really doesn't need one. I think the main game ended on a good solid note.
Joseph Long
Nah, sorry, I play the better SS-inspired FPS-RPG hybrid.
Aiden Turner

Luke Nelson
OG Prey is trash. Didn't play new one but if it's a decent SS2 clone, it's better easily.
Owen Roberts
>ask a legitimate question
>get Prey (2017) fanboy butthurt instead
A pity, but this was expected. Anyway, feel free to answer the question whenever you work up the courage to do so.
Christian Roberts
What game?
Tyler Thomas
What game is that? Artstyle looks neat.
Jordan Wood
Neat man, i'm picking this back up since i got to the grove / resort type area where you meet alex and dropped it. Just started playing other stuff and now i'm on pc and enjoying it.
For Prey players out there, what is the best skill line? For me I maxed out leverage instantly.
Luis Brown
Void Bastards.
Noah Morales
Thanks.
Benjamin Gray
game was not good
Jonathan Cruz
Hm, yes, that's a very caveman take on it, and I guess you would think that way if you are some kind of square-headed, rock-banging, fire-worshiping neanderthal. Can you explain to the readers what exactly made you think that?
Gavin Watson
This is also a good game.
FOOK FAAAACE, YE TWAT
Tyler Morales
It's dramatic irony, user. What the email is describing is exactly what is happening to you the player, but you don't know that.
Connor Martinez
Humans trying to dick you over to their side after they fucked up. Don't fall for it, exterminate. Exterminate. Exterminate.
Benjamin Gutierrez
I played it to the end once last year, did they add any new content to justify coming back to it?
Parker Cox
This is a video game, this is a bad analogy.
Wyatt Rodriguez
I never played it at launch but I do know the Bang Tydy stuff adds a new enemy type along with the Band Tydy ships.
Ryan Jackson
Not him but I'll be the one to find some better criticism.
>It's very RNGy, in that if you're on a good streak on normal and such, then you'll never really lose a character and you'll be fine long as you save torps and avoid pirates.
>Speaking of which, fuck the Pirates. You have to avoid or torp them, or just get peppered to death by guns that just delete you hardcore. They should nerf it to not drop your health like a rock at max velocity.
>It's kinda short and not very descriptive on lore, which as a "Shock" inspired game would have been nice. I wanted to know some more about the world other than "it's a corporate hellhole IN SPAAAAAACE!". The short bit isn't as bad as the lore bit, it's long enough but maybe some more depth would have been nice. Maybe just go the Audio Log route?
>Enemies become less engaging once you're near endgame. Since t here's no real bossfights to shake things up, it's just dealing with slightly different colored/powered monsters with the same models. Also they aren't harder, just annoying. The head clouds and the chav kids are just fast and obnoxious, the poop guys just fly away, and the specter and lady are just eye rolling, I either have to get spotted and just zap the asshole before shoving my shotgun up his asshole, or spamming bombs into a room full of shield ladies just to not deal with 'em.
It's still a great game and I love it and it's design and flavor. But you asked for good criticisms, I appreciate the search for it, and so here are mine.
Jordan Wood
God you sound like a pretentious faggot. You'll realize it when you grow older.
Noah Reyes
What’s ripped off so egregiously as to impact the quality of the game?
Tyler Cruz
Nope. Just a dlc that adds a cleaning lady bot, a vaccum gun, and a ship type to visit. That's it.
Jackson Brown
This game kinda sucks imo. It’s Void Bastards.
Samuel Bell
Errtang
Angel Anderson
It’s a rogue like that utilizes immersive sim type gameplay, but without any of the immersion or sim.
Evan Barnes
Oh okay. It’s a great game, I bet it’s influences are good too.
Tyler Rivera
The lack of a story didn't bother me as much because from the get-go I understood that the game wasn't trying to be Bioshock or System Shock. It is very much a cooked-down version of those games with a bigger focus on gameplay. It is a rogue-lite first and foremost and the issues in the game are issues inherited from the rogue-lite genre. Not that the devs couldn't have set out to try and fix those.
Angel Allen
>immersive-sim
Opinion discarded. Still, keep crying about how Prey (2017).
Camden Myers
That's a shame. I liked the artstyle, but it got very samey by the end, and I felt like I saw and experienced everything I needed to in one playthrough.
