So is it good or what?

So is it good or what?

Yeah dude

No dude

pretty fucking good

I'd like to know as well.

yep

It's ok.

>AAA-game

It's fucking shit

Is it spoopy?

game of the year, system shock electric boogaloo

Yeah its pretty ok

It has its weaknesses (like some really weird audio design choices), but overall it's a solid 8.3/10 for me. It gets consistently better as you advance through the game.

Nice. An actual hipster on Sup Forums. How'd you end up here?

Honest question.

not really

It's basically System Shock 2 with 2017 graphics (2011 facial animations though) and really cool side quests: I had a blast with it.

If it's so good then why did it sell like shit and get bad reviews?

It's good.

Gameplay is what you would expect from Arkane and it's a neat setting. Abilities were kind of disappointing, and so was the main storyline after a certain point.

In the beginning. If you take your time and play smart you won't be scared of too much halfway through.

It was alright

Abilities were cool, weapons were terrible

Gameplay and quests were fine

Ending was pretty awful

I wish the original Prey 2 was the one released tho

Neither of those things are true. Where are these bad reviews?

you have to be at least 18 to post here

just wait for the system shock remake

It's great. One of the best games I've played this year.

Wouldn't know, only played the demo.
And I hated it.

Reddit post

It's a Looking Glass-style survival game in an era of Calla Doody and Bioshock Infinite. It's too complex for casuals, and the negative reviewers either played on easy, got upset over not being able to brute force everything, or wanted "muh cinematic experience".

I've even seen people on Sup Forums whine about the guns not being "satisfying"/empowering as soon as you pick them up, and bitching about how the game expected them to use some problem-solving skills to finish side-quests like corpse locating.
>B-but the game didn't give me an objective marker on the security console! How was I supposed to know you could activate that particular character's tracking bracelet like all the others on the station?!

Prey is too good for today's "gamers". Probably not quite as good as the LG classics, but it's better than most of the AAA tripe we've gotten this decade.

>you can't play both

>Ending was pretty awful
This. Your choices literally didn't matter.

Left a sour taste in my mouth despite the rest of the game being good.

This, you sometimes need to acitively search for a solution.
Its not a game for 30 minutes play here and there, you need some time to sink in it.
This is as close to SS/SS2 as anyone got in recent years.

I can think of at least 4 games this year that didn't sell as much as they deserved, simply because of the volume of releases for the first half of 2017

Pirated this game but I enjoyed the hell out of it...would gladly pay for this game but since it's single player and I already beat it there's no reason to go back

At least buy it on sale to support Arkane. We aren't going to get more from them if their initial sales stay too low.

>At least buy it on sale to support

>why give people who do make games as a living so they can feed their families and make the profit they deserve.

Fuck you. You are scum.

>Being a moralfag
>Not wanting another videogame industry crash so it can be revived and made better
I'm doing my part

>pirate good games without buying them later
>good games never get a sequel/devs get shut down from low sales
>"Gee, I wonder why the video game industry makes nothing but shit now!

Fact: Arkane has never made a good game. They can rot in hell

What a faggot, how would like like doing something and people taking it for free? Seriously go fuck yourself.

Shut the fuck up, kiddo. They made Arx Fatalis.

It's probably one of Arkanes best games after the first Dishonored.

Fuck every crybaby who bitched about how it wasn't the sequel to a shooter from 2007 literally no one outside of Sup Forums gives a shit about

I only pirate shit games from shit devs is this youre first day on vee?

>le ebin videogame crash
>everyone smaller than EA, Ubisoft etc goes out of business and that's all you're left with

amazing

I hope the devs at Arkane kill themselves after they see that no one's buying their trash.

Fucking piece of shit devs.

6/10 at worst, 8.5 at best

cons
>serviceable story with a meh twist
>mediocre combat and character upgrades
>too many loading screens past mid-game (you have to backtrack a lot)
>no proper bossfights

pros
>exploration and level design is great, especially in the first few hours
>music's good
>mimics, despite becoming gimmicky and non-threatening very fast, are a great idea
>some cool abilities (most of them are boring as fuck though)
>every weapon is useful
>looks alright, really well optimized

basically, it would be goat if it had Dark Messiah level of combat / environmental interaction, especially the latter

also, play it on the hardest difficulty, shit's way too easy otherwise

It's my GOTY so far.
Love the level design, it feels way more like an Immersive Sim than the new Deus Ex games.
4.5/5

>it was all a dream
The story was fucking awful, even beyond awful

Other than that the game play i shallow and repetitive.
Only 3 guns since glue gun is worthless in combat and crossbow is more of a an ester egg weapon that does nothing.
Low enemy variety and shitty powers.
All aoe nukes do the exact same thing and mind ontrol is broken.

Also game makes a big deal of not using alien powers yet since its all a dream there is no fucking difference ether way. You dont get a different ending or fuck all, you just ruin the game for yourself.

6/10 for me

This tbfh senpai

I hate it that great games sell like shit.
I know we always joke about casuals but the current state of gaming is truly dumbed down.
A lot of games boil down to walk to the next objective marker and press F. Worse even when you trurn quest markers off you can't go without because they don't provide enough ingame context for you to figure it out by yourself.

>an era of Calla Doody and Bioshock Infinite

What ?

>8.3
Stop
