Prey 2017

Why isn’t this game talked about more? I thought it was really fricking good, and it seems like it’s just been forgotten.

      Really? There were some annoying bits on the harder difficulties, but I never got the impression there was a section that’d “filter” people, even the casuals.

      Like Bioshock, System Shock, Deus Ex, Thief, Dishonored and many other immersive sims.

      Fair enough, granted people seem to never shut the frick up about Bioshock, and System Shock has some buzz around because of remake, remaster, or whatever it is.

      Yes and no, I'm not calling it that, but basically, too much science-guy WOW! cringe factor after Half-Life. Yet they still keep giving us colony management sims that are based on science only. Nothing about the pioneers our forefathers talked about, or cowboys. Just history-perverted waters about how they want those guys to have really been scholars instead of the non-educated lot that they were and didn't need government for the most part. Just men, guns, horses, wagons, canon, and women in the kitchen.

        Anything to do with government-only stuff means it is communist/government and unamerican. Communism is the combination of religion and state which we abolished in 1776.

      Marketing fricked this game over which meant it underperformed, and its failure then killed Arkane. So not many people actually know about it let alone know enough to talk about it.

      That’s sad. Arkane was doing good shit, and I loved the utility of the weapons in Prey. Everything from using the toy crossbow to push buttons, to using the glu gun to get to areas I’m not supposed to early.

        Sounds like a personal problem with your ego. Not was a decision the dev team actively resisted, like I already said, but nobody was even talking about Prey ‘06 before Prey ‘17 before it had its name changed to it.

        Also look at the title of the frickin thread. You’re getting all pissy over the fact that random normies refer to Prey ‘17 as just “Prey”, nevermind that there’s a 99% chance they don’t even know another Prey exists.

    My favorite part of this game is that at the center of everything, it's pretty simple. Most of the moment to moment issues your character faces is just how to open a door to go to the next room, and the solutions could be just using the terminal (with the foam dart) or sneaking through the crack by turning into a mug. Just raw gameplay that blends with level design perfectly.
    So of course zoomers and normies wouldn't be for that

    It was just a forgettable game. Boring enemies. Basic abilities and weapons. Uninspired level design. Weak story. Bland artstyle.

    I've beaten this game recently and I love it so much, I was heavily immersed to the world and I tried to look for as many logs as I can. But I realized that this game heavily filters zoomers. I was watching this zoomer streamer and he quit playing because the puzzles were too confusing for him and he didn't bother searching for neuromods or ammo, so he was always low on stuff. This game requires you to be searching around places, and there's a lot of quiet time before you actually meet tougher enemies like ethereal phantoms the mind control one. I love this game but it's not for everyone especially if you have ADHD because you need to be concentrated.

      What the frick are you even talking about? They’re black and ephemeral, but other than that, every enemy is entirely distinct in terms of appearance and abilities. I actually found them to be one of the best parts of the game. Not every enemy has to be some colorful generic-ass humanoid alien you know.
      I also liked the non-typhon enemies too, corrupted operators and possessed humans are fun additions, especially how the operators talk to you and you’re encouraged to avoid killing the humans.

          Another one flies and has a bunch of weird ass tentacles, and the nightmare needs no explanation. How you can conflate any of those genuinely beyond me. How the frick does anon type? I’d think all letters looks like the same “scribbly lines” to him.
          Allah forgive me for what I am about to say, but I legitimately see less moronic takes about this game on r*ddit than the shithole this board has devolved into.

            You forget. Reddit is phenomenally stupid, but on Ganker, no one arguing has actually played the games in the argument

    Because it's not le epic sequel to the shitty 'classic' meme game no one really remembers anything about.

    >game gives you a cum cannon that (VERY briefly) immobilizes an enemy instead of just giving you a gun to kill the aliens dead

    Because it's a unmemorable game that doesn't really do much we haven't seen before nor offers a compelling narrative. Its got major sighs in it like a survival material gathering shit,no companions that walk the same ground the MC does and it takes place in some dark gloomy and dead space station.

    It's like complaining about why people don't talk about Ghost Wire. These FPS shit things have long been burning out.

    I think the setting is a little dry for zoomers honestly. Like for them it just holds no appeal whatsoever. Bioshocks main appeal is the fantastical underwater city setting. Prey is just another space station.

    It's good but I feel like it kind of drops off in the last 3rd or so like most of Arkane's games. You eventually just get tired of traversing the station and the enemy variety starts to stagnate a bit too much.

    Terrible marketing. I didn't really believe the anons saying it was a top-tier imsim until I got it for free on ESG and played it. It's the best game in the genre in 20 years and I wish I played it earlier.

      I have yet to see a single person deliver “criticism” that neither uses: 1. The word “bland” like a crutch. 2. Constant reference to a game titled: “[something]-shock”.

        its almost like the game is bland and not as good as what its inspired by.

          It’s almost like you’re regurgitating r*ddit-tier hivemind responses of zero value.

    When I started playing the game and saw the trolley problem references I thought they were going to do 2 endings: kill everyone to save earth or save the crew and risk earth. They should've limited the ending to those 2 choices.

    I enjoyed it, it's a good game. It's also 5 years old, which is why you're not seeing it discussed.

    This helmet design is great. Could've been iconic as Dead Space or Crysis.
