    How did you not even touch on the Recycler and Fabricator?! One of the best features of the game. For those of you that dont know - you can recycle literally anything in the game - then use the Fabricator to create the items you want. It gives you freedom to progress how you choose.

    Mimics might just be the biggest stroke of genius I've ever seen in a video game. As a game designer, it lets you constantly re-use assets you've already created with an in-universe driven reason. As a player, we've been taught in 99% of the games we play to ignore the clutter in a room. But the genius of the mimics is that it takes a habit we've formed from other games an uses it against us. That's why I felt this was absolutely brilliant! You have to re-learn the way you think and develop a whole new set of habits. And unlike a lot of jumpscares in other games, the mimics stay fresh the WHOLE GAME. You never know exactly where they are, what they've become, and even when you have a psychoscope, you still can miss them.
    I ended up not enjoying the first hour or so of Prey, (until I finally got my hands on decent weapons and a few neuromods) at which point I enjoyed it immensely. I highly recommend this game to anyone who enjoys either Deus Ex: Human Revolution or Mankind Divided, or any Dishonored game. Once you get into a groove, it's hard to put down.
    I'd also add that the station itself was a much better playground then most games get to have. There were so many different subplots between the employees I learned about through e-mails, notes, (and even a hilarious glue sculpture) that really made Talos 1 feel alive and dead simultaneously. Instead of just random NPC's, there's an exact count of how many people are on the station at any given time, alive or dead, and you can track any of them down you want. And when you're also reading their e-mails, notes, computer logs, a videos, I couldn't help but feel the loss of these people in a way I usually don't for most NPC's in games. That's impressive.
    Definitely buy!

    • @mattmorehouse9685

      Another thing is the recycling system. If you can pick up an object, odds are you can recycle it for raw materials. So if you're low on metal, get a ton of trash cans and operator bodies, put them together and chuck a recycler grenade at them. Works well as a weapon too.

    • @Foreseer117
      @Foreseer117 7 лет назад +30

      Ali Hamza Why is everyone bitching about the graphics? It looks great, it's a more detailed, refined look of dishonored's art style. The exaggeration of the models gives it it's own unique look. Second, like they said in the video, after the section the demo covers the game really opens up and becomes so much more. The music bug is also fixed in the full game. Third, enemy design is subjective but I love how they look, fluid, formless, unknown, the way lights flicker as phantoms walk by them, it all adds to their design. The combat has it's faults but it works well. All in all this game is a 9 at minimum, it's engrossing in the extreme and by far my favorite game of 2017 so far.

    This is why I always harp on level design and atmosphere as being the single most important thing right behind actual game mechanic design. If your game plays great and has great mechanics but the world I'm playing in is contrived, boring, or otherwise lackluster, I'm not going to want to play. This is why I personally hated GTA IV after playing and loving San Andreas - GTA IV was just endless concrete and grey buildings (same reason I hate NYC in real life lol). This game sold me on it's environment within 5 minutes. Very well done atmosphere, not only actual construction but also vibe and lighting. Reminds me of perhaps my favorite game of all time - Metroid Prime.

I mean you can still counter certain enemies with different weapons but shotguns never gonna let you down.

    Literally one of the scariest moments I've had about 14 hours in, was when I entered a new area and the nightmare typhoon was there. This was my first encounter with this thing and the game gave me the option to run or fight, I chose to run lol. I use the backlash ability and then absolutely leg it to a cabin I'd just found the key card for. I'm running and I don't hear any sounds or anything so I think I'm alright but then I turn around and HOLY FUCK ITS RIGHT INFRONT OF ME! So I just sat it the cabin until it went away hahaha

      Put a point in leverage and chuck explosive canisters at them at the beginning. When you get the wrench knockdown godmod for your suit, just surprise buttseks them from behind with a heavy attack(sneakspeed+ recommended) and start wailing on them. When they happen to see you, i tend to unload my shotgun at it's face, but that's always a waste of resources. That enemy alone made me worship the psi-block grenades!

  • @nazhaz6479
    @nazhaz6479 4 года назад +5

    A lot of people complain about the weapons being underwhelming, but it’s kind of the point. You aren’t meant to run around gunning everything down. Combat is more about planning your approach to the fight more than anything. Everything down to the toy crossbow is a valuable asset to your arsenal. For example: the toy crossbow is the cheapest way to deal with cystoids if you don’t have a box to chuck at em.
    I think what turns people off from Prey is just how creative you can get with it’s mechanics. Not a lot of games are designed with that flexibility in mind so the concept of Prey is quite alien to most. For the players who thrive in this kind of mechanical environment, Prey is an easy game even at the hardest difficulties. For players who are used to more structured gameplay mechanics/simpler mechanics, frustration awaits them.
    errrr... In my opinion

    • @maestbobo
      @maestbobo 3 года назад +1

      Ther's a great sequence in a bar where you have to blast some music to get an audio sample. The noise attracts all the enemies in the are and hiding isn't really an option so you get this fantastic sequence of 60-90 seconds with balls-to-the-walls running and gunning with awesome pumped up music playing the background.
      It's particularly satisfying because, in most playstyles, your usual approach will involve picking your fights carefully and relying a lot on stealth. So this is just a little moment when the game goes 'hey, you know what? Let loose for a bit, have fun!'.

This on Normal. Started it again on Very High with the Modifiers, now that I knew how to play, everything was much easier than my first time on normal, lol.

    Unless I'm missing info, I think the only mistake Arkane made was naming this game prey it has nothing in common with it and from this aspect it is disappointing but otherwise, it is marvellous. It is incredible and really reminds me of Bioshock and system shock, however, after the beginning before psychotronics it did feel slow but when I reached psychotronics I couldn't put the game down. This should have been made into a new Arkane IP and I have no clue why they gave it the name of a game that was so very different. This I believe lowered the value of the game for no reason and made it harder to buy into and it is a shame because if you play this game I'm sure you will absolutely love it.

      It literally takes every mechanic from bioshock and makes them worse.

      What about Alien Isolation and Metro Exodus? Only ask cuz all 3 games are $30 right now. Which of the 3 is best?

    From my experience, while I found myself thinking of Bioshock frequently, this game gave me a MUCH different feel. for me, this seems like a fantastic spiritual successor to bioshock. Combat feels remarkably familiar, but the plethora of creative solutions are implemented in such a way that non violence seems more like an accomplishment than a convenience. Even the awkward combat has its rewards, because we're not marines, Morgan is a scientist, and while this may not scratch the fps itch you may expect, it feels really natural for those of us who are less ballistically inclined, and it encourages a different playstyle that is unique in recent years.

      Zach Zach play the beginning hour demo and see if you'll get into it. I didn't, i found the game boring and clunky.

      Itachi2099 I really don't think the demo is a good metric to judge whether you'll get into the game because the vast majority of people who ended up liking it say that it didn't really grab them until after the point where the demo ends. Now, that being said, if you're on a tight budget wanting the most for your money then a 15-hour single player game is probably not the best use of your funds, especially given the great longer games which have already come out this year.

    This game is absolutely fantastic for me so far, except Rani!! Every time I walk into the Aboretum mimics spawn and seem to kill her, although I haven't seen a dead body yet. But the heart warming feeling of lullabying people to unconsciousness with a tesla coil gun then later seeing a green safe next to their name in the security computer is amazing and oddly rewarding.
