Thanks for the crazy support on the channel everyone! ❤
Its One of the Best , if not THE Best Channel dedicated to Gaming i found since started with youtube ... Love your way of talking, explaining and the feeling of honesty in your Videos.
Appriciate it very much - Go On

Its a horrible game. Waste of time
@@trblemayker5157 All gaming is a waste of time in the end.
@@Yusuke_Denton That's why you spent your time replying?
@@Yusuke_Denton Life is just a game...
Prey is my favorite Game of all time, the attention to detail in the world is second to none. I mean they even said they had engineers and architects help them design the station to make it futuristic but realistic at the same time. Honestly it would take an essay to state everything I live about Prey and Mooncrash.
Glad to see others appreciate the game as well, great video!
It really is so under loved, and thanks a ton for supporting my channel means a lot!
I just finished it for my first time and I loved it The only thing that was annoying was I got lost a bunch of times. Yes that may be my stupidity but I do feel that there could’ve been a tiny bit more guidance.
I'm playing mooncrash for the 2nd time and my mind still gets blown! So glad others feel about this game the same as I do. Sometimes, I love just playing as long as I can and collecting sim points. I love how powerful the characters become after grinding for neuromods and sim points...I can stay alive with Vijay on Lvl5 corruption for a longggg time. I also love unlocking/hacking everything w/ Claire and then repairing everything with Joan. Repairng all of the broken turrets are good gifts to leave the other characters (except for alex lol)
Hopefully we’ll get a Prey 2 or a Dishonored 3 someday
From the current Arkane? Hopefully not. Rather let the legacy be good than ruin it with another Redfall/Deathloop.
@@CriticsConfessionnah death loop was good
@@domg0714 Deathloop is ok, it's not good, and it certainly isn't much of an Arkane title.
@@CriticsConfessionloved both of those. I've loved every Arkane game I've ever played, bar none.
After Redfall, I’m not sure we’ll get another Arkane game that’s worthy of its previous titles.
A full 75% of the staff that made Prey and Mooncrash have left Arkane. It’s absolutely tragic.
Any game studio would be lucky to have the privilege to hire this choom as their video and viral marketing lead. Imagine how many more people would have bought this after they witnessed this.......
I like this guy 😎
Not going to lie, a small tear was shed while watching the video. I'm really proud about what you put out and seeing where you came from. I'm here for all of it and wish you the best along the way. Remember, keep your feet on the ground and keep grinding! Love you bro
Thanks so much man! Appreciate you supporting me the whole way through
Aww
Dude THANK YOU for this video !!! Most ppl just gloss over Mooncrash at the end of their prey videos I’m so glad you made a stand-alone video . Beat prey thrice so far but never completed Mooncrash. I always wanted to but I always got frustrated!! This may push me to retry as a fucking love PREY. You got a new sub bruv
Thanks so much for watching glad some more people are finding this video!
Wow I thought this was what death loop was going to be and here I had the real version in my library all along. 10/10 vid
Thanks for watching!
Hey just curious, where did the 7778 in your username come from? I've been seen that number a lot lately.
I’ve loved this game ever since I discovered it through Markiplier in 2018 and have been borderline obsessed with it ever since and I’ve finally been given the opportunity to talk about it in depth thanks to my newest college assignment and it’s now that I’m realising that there is so much I know and love about this game that it might actually prove to be difficult to put on paper
Ya the game really is so great, and thanks for watching!
As an avid Prey lover, I had no idea this DLC even existed. It looks amazing
I didn’t either at first I think it’s even better than the base game it’s beyond underrated
I bought Prey two years ago. I played it for few hours, and I enjoyed it. I knew it was something special but I didn't continue playing it. I saved it for later. I returned to it the last month. And MAN, it is a GREAT game.
This game is honestly one of the best i’ve played, there is something about it that always brings me back to replay
I absolutely hated Mooncrash but I pushed through. I left a nasty review. Then I started understanding and updated my review. Then I finally figured out how to play Mooncrash and freaking loved it... Updating my review again with a glowing review. Then replayed it many times trying to max out and solve everything. I wish more people would have taken the time to learn the mechanica of this game....learn how wonderful...fun...and challanging it is.
I'm still at the «hate» part, but on the other hand the base game was a similar thing for me
Good to see the growth you've improved so much since I started watching a couple years ago
Really appreciate it man! Ya it’s cool to see how well the channel has been doing lately
I lost one of my crewmates when I neglected to reset the simulation and panicked when overwhelmed by monsters. It was really frustrating knowing that I had to reset my entire run if I wanted to get all of my crewmates out alive, but watching your video really made me see it in a different way. I am glad I learned from that mistake and I hope I don't go in my third retry as cocky.
i just finished Prey for the first time. thank you for this video
i will make it my misson to make sure all my friends experience this masterpiece
Such an amazing game, thanks for watching!
I've seen gameplay of Prey, and after a really long time, I picked up a copy and I've been grinding through it. It's surprisingly fun, considering the atmosphere the game gives off. But it really does a good job with having the player making uncomfortable decisions, whether it's walking around a room where you know you're gonna be jumped by a gang of mimics, or pumping yourself up with the courage to kill your first Nightmare, that alongside the massive area of exploration, story, and lore (especially on the Typhon side of things) really make this game shine.
Good stuff my guy. You have a natural storyteller vibe
Great review, I agree with the most parts. Very underrated game - one of my favorites.
Love the great analysis. It has been some time since you have made this type of video.
Thanks man! Appreciate the support as always figured you would like this one
@@FranklyGaming Probably after 10 years or so you will make "Trails in the sky" analysis - how it forces to change mindset of approaching games (instead of trying to finish asap, be more like in a meditative state, exploring things; "what mattered was not the goal, but path to reach it").
@@copiumkiller the magnum opus haha
@@FranklyGaming "1 of my subs recommended the game non stop for 10 years, saying that it has the best world building in gaming. If only I played it faster..." You at least saw Mr.Matty analysing it.
Thank you for the amazing content ! keep it up!
Thank you so much for watching the kind words mean a lot!
talking about underrated games. This video is very well made. Congrats
Really appreciate that!
👌 I will try it again. Great video
Thanks so much for watching and supporting the channel, hope you enjoy it on the second try I didn’t like it at first either lol
I can't wait to download this DLC!
Very articulate, insightful review. I agree; Prey is one of the greatest, most underrated games ever made (perhaps the single most underrated game ever), and Mooncrash improves upon its strategic gameplay elements with the distinctive way it implements a roguelike system. Also, I'm not sure if you did this intentionally, but there's a great strategy for getting the "Three-Body Problem" achievement (trapping 3 enemies with a single Gloo Charge) at 9:33.
fun fact: Benedict Wong (the actor who played Alex) also played in the «Three-Body Problem» series
@@formbi I did not know that! Thanks for that fun bit of trivia. I wonder whether the achievement is a reference to the physics concept or the novel (or both). The fact that the novel was adapted into a TV show that stars the person who did voice acting in a game featuring an achievement with the same title plays into sci-fi concepts like the multiverse & metaphysics as well!
I watched the ads for this? To support you?
😂 great stuff as always Franklin
Lol the hero we deserve, thanks for the support as always alpha 😂
While i havent yet tried Prey im currently playing Dishonored which is surprisingly atmospheric for a 9 year old game.
Ya I love dishonored as well, I think prey is the best thing they have made so if you like dishonored I bet you will love prey, thanks for the support as always bubi!
Id like to say you inspired me to get back on prey after not playing for 5 years and only having 19 hours in on ps4 and giving up on mooncrash after one death i just restarted mooncrash and unlocked 3 characters in one run
Great stuff bro
Really appreciate it zach, the support helps me a lot
great video me
Thanks me
True... that guy makes wonderfull videos about games i unfortunetly never played xD
I platinumed both the base game and s finished mooncrash today and I couldn’t agree more. It was such a great experience, not since playing the original Dark Souls have I felt such a sense of achievement. The DLC alone is an amazing game, and I loved every minute of it…..thanks for the video you really captured what makes mooncrash so great!!!!
Going to download shorty. Had pray for years. Only recently picked it up. Spent 51 hours playing. Loved every minute. Looking forward to more.
I'm at the threshold...thanks for sharing :)
Well, this video just convinced me to stop mourning the end of the base game, and get back in to boot up Mooncrash
Mission accomplished, thanks for watching!
any hope for a sequel ever
I loved Prey and found Moon crash to be a lot of fun. I had never heard of it until after it was out and borrowed it from a friend. The gameplay I loved as well as the story (even though the twist was telegraphed way in advance). Moon crash is great too but I only ever played through it once. Kept expecting a similar twist at the end though
bro said Riley Ru
I see you 👀 good catch before you fully slipped 😂
LOL someone noticed 😂
Just started prey, I had a huge grin when I threw a turret, deployed it and then I manouvred back n forth behind it luring the mimics into the turret fire.
If you want to grow your channel, I would recommend you do more iceberg videos as they are incredibly popular. Maybe ones on dragon age, the witcher, fallout, or even call of duty
I am! Fallout one coming out Tuesday, think it’s the best one I’ve done yet hope you guys like it! And appreciate the tips!
@@FranklyGaming i much prefer content like this over icebergs
@@gibby3767 ya I do both kinda depends on what I’m feeling at the time, I like doing both because icebergs are more heavy production lots of work interesting, and the diaries are more relaxing and introspective
I want to point out your section about the reviews, the game was generally very well received from critics sitting in around the mid 80's on metacritic with several 90-100 scores. IGN's review was a clear outlier and it was only so low due to a very specific game breaking bug they dealt with. I'd still say the game is underrated but there were definitely plenty of critics who loved it and heralded it as the best immersive sim of it's generation
I played Prey for about 2 hours and drop it, but after hear you talking about it, it's time to try again!
Thanks for the vid
Thank you for watching!
Despite Prey being my favourite game and having played through the main game 5 times (at least!), I personally prefer Mooncrash because of it changing each playthrough and having to adapt accordingly.
I remember doing a run with Riley and forgot to buy any weapons for her. I spawned in an area I had already looted and, stupidly, left nothing to help future runs. I somehow managed to complete all my objectives with her, dodging past telepaths and their mind controlled humans, sprinting past tentacle nests and locking doors behind me, waiting for enemies to loose interest. All with no weapons and a whole lot of luck, it's my most proud gaming achievement which probably won't be beat.
This game really deserves more love, I'm happy to see someone love it as much as I do. Great vid!
Any tips? I'm struggling out here. Have 2 characters unlocked, the skinny dude and the engineer girl also 30,000. But coming back to it after years and I can't even get past this damn moonshark
Hey, FranklyGaming - I'd suggest to check on Pathologic 2. It's an obscure game made by some developers that is pretty much a mirror to Prey Moon Crash. I loved both, and the thing is - Mooncrash always rewards you, in the end, for your efforts.
Pathologic 2 uses similar mechanics, such as time/corruption, and in the course of 11 days manages to throw at the player some of the most frustrating, yet intriguing (and sometimes outright brilliant) scenarios to solve. Highly recommended, it's a gem in the rough.
On why Deathloop didn't learn from Mooncrash (I still think it's an amazing game) - the design lead of Deathloop said in an interview (No Clip) that it's from a different team/studio and while he played it not for very long. So different team and overlapping development.
I stopped playing this game for like a year, and when I came back it became one of the best immersive sims I've played. SS2 was my favorite ever until Prey, and I liked it more than Alien Isolation. People really need to work out how detailed the world is for the real genius to kick in. It's so deep, the way you can lookup logs and track members of the crew. The way the station exists both inside AND outside in space around it. So cool, and that DLC is really the best DLC I've ever played for people who really love a game and want to experience it the most full way possible.
Dude wtf how do u have such low subs this video essay was fire I gotta make ur channel blow up damn
Really appreciate the kind words! Ya have no idea why my views and ctr are so low but the icebergs have doubled my subs in the last week so finally get some traction
I heard the game director of Deathloop mention they hadn't played ANY of Mooncrash before the release of Deathloop... Everything made sense, not a bad game perse but such a step down from Prey/Mooncrash
Bruh, I took ur advice n u weren’t lying, this game is fantastic.. I downloaded the moon crash dlc also but I’m gonna wait until I finish the base game to try it .. I see so many similarities to cyberpunk in this game, u can see cdpr took a lot of inspiration from rhis game, and I can’t wait to continue my play through and eventually try this dlc out
Yep Prey is one of the best games ever. I’m the same as you. I put it down at first and then came back and fell in love. Just getting started on Mooncrash and this video has me excited
I saw this DLC before, but never got it. I may need to rebuy Prey and check this Gem out!
Dude this game is amazing literally went back on the ps5 and playing it
"You are an unknown hacker named Peter"
Bro, you said his name, that means hes known...
"when you first step for on the moon base, you don't know about... you don't know about..." Well, unless you watched this video before playing.
I agree. This game is dope and mooncrash is just nuts.
So sad to hear that Arkane Austin got shuttered by Microsoft. What a beautiful game that deserved so much more.
I have finished Prey, it is one of the best games ever. It is in my top 5, it surprised me a lot.
hey frankly, good effort on the video. would you ever consider doing a video on the dying light franchise?
For sure o would! Doing fallout next but have Tyler decide what will be after that too
@@FranklyGaming sounds good dude. keep up the good work!
I got all trophies of mooncrash all characters alive, all improvements installed, all collectibles founded, i,m with u 100%
This is typical though. Most of my favorite games I consider underrated or underplayed:
Prey incl. Mooncrash, Signalis, Super Metroid, Axiom Verge, and Critters for Sale, to name a few.
I just noticed this is mostly SkillUps gameplay footage from his video on the same DLC 🤔
My thoughts exactly. I wouldn't have put it any better.
I love MoonCrash but have never been able to finish before the difficulty accelerates beyond my skill level. Maybe it’s a console thing or maybe I’m just not very good. That didn’t stop me from playing it for hours every day.
how did you figured the elctricity on typhoon gates in a late run lmao it's a really early strat there are litteraly papers that tell you to do that
"better than the actual base game of prey"
Absolutely not.
This video gave me so much anxiety about being hard and not beatable, that I just don't want to even touch it. And Prey was one of my favourite games ever, I gave it 8.8/10 just last month. But the premise of this... sounds very, very tedious.
Especially that I'm not good in action gameplay and always use much more resources than I should. Not being able to grind items and/or abilities sounds dreadful.
One of the best game what ever created
What do you mean by vending machine. I just beat prey Moon crash after I bought it when it first released for the first time and I did not see one vending machine unless you're talking about the fabricator that's the only thing I think you'll be talking about.
If that's the case I did not know you could electrocute it to make it give you items which is nice to know.
Unless you're talking about the little drink holder thingies.( Actually while typing this out i decided to replay it and I electrocuted the drink holder and nothing happened so I don't know what you're talking about that vending machine thing unless it's something else entirely.
I totally agree. Might be the best game ever created.
Prey needs a tv show
Just found your channel a few hours ago when searching random stuff about Cyberpunk 2077. Great content man, keep up the great work.
Regarding this video... It's very disappointing that Prey/Mooncrash never got the recognition it deserved. Meanwhile people say Breath Of Wild is the best thing mankind ever created *(it's a great game, but far from the ultimate masterpiece it's considered to be imho. Especially when you consider that several of it's mechanics were already mastered by games that came before and the so called feeling of freedom in such a beautiful world, being something that I and many others felt in several games for more than a decade at that point).* In the end I guess everyone is entitled to their own beliefs, sadly that means some games, movies, books and even songs go under the radar for the majority.
Thanks for the kind words and supporting the channel! And ya some things just don’t get the love they deserve I guess 🥲
I bought the dlc do u have to beat the Main campaign to start the dlc
I love Prey but couldn't get into Mooncrash, for that reason I've refunded it before it was too late to do so. Possibly it's just my own issue, I love your review on it though
Prey and Prey Mooncrash were the best games I ever played. And yes, it is the knowledge of mechanics which makes the player stronger not just the RPG elements. Also Deathloop is garbage.
Redfall is even worse. I love Prey, but the DLC is a big no for me. I don't like rogueware at all.
Did Bethesda have any hand in the production of prey besides publication?
Ya that’s what I mean publication, I actually mixed up the title and thumbnail form the original drop cause it had such low clicks lol, thanks for supporting the channel by the way means a lot!
Wait you played this too? Sadly none of my friends where willing to play this DLC.. I loved Prey and the DLC. Played a lot.. Got the achives on console ( all ) and almost all on console.. Admittedly I stopped on my Typhon run. I was refusing to due the duel/all ending in one run thing. I wanted to do a run for each.. I already did a human/tech thing. So I was doing a Typhon run with killing everyone. Since I saved everyone in the other. Not how I did things on console I admit lol.. ( Side note I tried getting my friends into Prey and Mooncrash.. I was abled to do so with Prey but not Mooncrash for some reason. )
The DLC was interesting and a bit tough. I liked what they did.. Admittedly I did not play it as much as I really wanted to. My system at the time sort of died on me.. I have a new system now that is really, really good compared to that one.. That could run this game a lot better than the previous one did. ( I mean.. It run the game well still but not as good as it could have been. ) I admittedly never finished Mooncrash. But I did get fairly far into it. Just not fully finished it sadly.
*EDIT*
I know I got to the point where I could rescue a portion of them.. I want to say it was 3 but It could have been just 2.. I was working on another when my computer decided to have its meltdown.. >< That is why I never finished it.. by the time I got a new system I sort of forgot about it and there was other games at said point.. And I guess in a way going back just to finish the achives on Prey, and then go after moon crash.. was not something I thought of.. At least not till this comment.. I might re-install and try to finish.. Though I remember trying to kill all of the humans is not easy due to how the AI in the cafeteria is and what is there lol.. If they die due to the typhons you do not get credit.. It ALL has to be by your hands basically.. You also have to meet them.. So even some of the hidden-ish characters and main characters need to die by your hands.. Its very much a evil ending in a way.. But in a way you can also say it was not.. Oddly it could be considered justice for what these people did with the Typhons..
Ya mooncrash and prey are so under loved it’s pretty sad I think, but it’s cool to see others like you and I really enjoyed them! Thanks for leaving the comment and supporting the channel!
just terminating main game tomorrow, next is dlc ; if they make a prey 2 it would be great
@@ndebele100 that would be the dream
@@FranklyGaming i think there is a prey 2 under dev but it's pure speculation
@@ndebele100 ideally that is what arkane austin works on after redfall
I didn't buy this DLC because as soon as i read "time limit" and stuff, this DLC was dead to me.
I never understood why and how people can enjoy time limits and being forced to haste.
Time limits are just annoying.
They don't add anything, they are just stressful.
Prey is a game with a lot to discover, taking your time always gets rewarded.
And it's fun to goof around with solutions.
Time destroys all that.
While I do appreciate your view on the subject, still idea of forcing myself to play through a videogame is a bit too much. I've played a few of Rogue-like games, and never had an issue like this. Probably, because I've never viewed Prey on genre different from Immersive-sim so it's hard to move away from previous experience, which on it's own is hard already.
I dropped it recently for reasons most people described previously, but because of you, will probably come back to it in sometime. Thanks, perhaps? We'll see later :)
Agree. amazinggggg
lol, I just love borderlands and dota too, feel like we like the same games xd
Prey was the bomb 💣
100% agree
I just finished Prey
I really enjoyed the game but for one thing... the combat. Enemies are way too op, you are way too under powered, the balance is all wrong. Not a single time in this game when I was killed by enemies did I feel like it was fair because it wasn't, it was just cheese. And that includes the Nighatare shooting you through walls and getting stunlocked to death.
That being said, I didn't get any typhon powers because I thought there would be some significant catch in the story as it alluded to. I was disappointed to discover this is not the case. That does however mean I have a whole combat tree unexplored.
By the time I got to Mooncrash I just had enough and couldn't be bothered
Watching your video has made me want to go back
I definitely wouldn't say that Prey outdoes Deus Ex 1 in every way. I've just finished Prey and definitely loved it (the atmosphere is one of the best I've ever seen) but while it gives you a lot of freedom it doesn't push it to the point of letting the player play in a completely wacky way like in DE (or even Dishonored). The writing isn't as good too, imo.
soooo great.
Thanks for watching!
Just not everyone gets what they deserve as you said
i like mooncrash better than the base game
Do you like Dishonored?
Ya love the dishonored games, got into them after prey, I think prey is better but dishonored is a little more fast paced and fun too
You don't need to spend simpoints or use the 'mule' to complete a run in Mooncrash. I realized those were basically cheats and refused to use them. I actually emailed Bethesda a long time ago with an idea similar to this, comparing it to quantum-leap, and lo and behold there is an achievement called quantum leap for moon-crash.
Отличное видео, эта игра шедевр
Hello and excuse me, can I translate this video into Chinese(21% has done) and transport it to bilibili(a Chinese video website)? I will sign your name and the addresses in the introduction and I won't get any income from this transport. I love this game and want more Chinese people to know it. If you allow me to do this I will be thankful : )
Sure I would appreciate that! If it does well maybe we could talk about payment and transferring others! Feel free to try on this one
Thanks, I will try my best to translate it @FranklyGaming
Prey was one of the best games I've ever played. I hate Mooncrash tho. Tired of dying, must be doing something wrong
superb video me
Thanks me
Unfortunately,ost people these days just want to get together with their friends and fight some enemies, then watch a pre scripted cut scene. Nobody wants to think or make choices. Personally, I want to make my own story, based on my planning, not my reaction time.
I tried this game so many times just don't like it
Ya I totally get that I didn’t like it at first either haha, thanks for supporting the channel by the way!
I liked the new prey but it doesn’t top the original. I’m still bitter about not getting a true sequel to human heads Prey.
What a problem is with Mooncrash is that at some point you get to know alle story, except hidden in objeectives, but your characters are just too weak. And you must grind for several irritating and boring hours to get necessary upgrades that will let you go through eg. phase 4 or 5 Nightmare blocking your way. Or Telepath. Or Technopath. Or hack something. This completely breaks the pacing and immersion.
This makes Deathloop far better - pacing is great, still knowledge is the power. And actually deathloop with such short time limit would be far worse, most Stealth tactics would be impossible to use. And Deathloop after tutorial (which is long), doesn't tell you much, you must find out everything by learning from recordings, messages etc. Still it could be better, but it's not holding your hand.
Prey is a great game for any System Shock fan, but It's not a better game. System Shock 2 was better - but you could say probably that Prey is better than Bioshock.
Maybe throw out a spoiler warning when you list all the secrets in the dlc lol..........
Stopped the video after stating Cyberpunk and ME3 were favorites of all time.
Ya I get that everyone has different tastes! Thank you for watching!
Why showing the fake review?? The game reviews were good
Yeah he's showing the one review that was up because the guy's save corrupted. That review was switched to an 8 soon after.
I'm stop calling prey 2017 prey it's just doing arcane a disservice by associating it with a game it has nothing to do with.
psychoshock is what it should be called instead of the title forced by Bethesda.
