"PREY" 2017

But morrowalk is shit.

goon rpgs are all shit, but you see threads for those games here all the time, don't you? they're infiltrated long ago.

that and brand name recognition doesn't need anything behind it to turn a profit

Please ignore the last line I at first meant to ask for proof but then I just got the answer myself and forgot to remove the line.

Tell that to thi4f.

Ah fuck, you're right. That's rubbing salt in the wound even harder.

Beats the hell out of duplicate threads spamming the catalog.

No. You obviously don't understand what I mean by clunky. The speed at which combat takes place, the movement of your character and the enemies, the feel of the weapons, the damage they do (or don't), how much kick and weight your guns and tools have, and so on. It's all shit. You cannot even reliably dodge the Phantom's shots until you throw some neuros into movement speed, you're just too fucking slow, which requires you glooing them or peeking from a corner, or both.
If you want to see what a nice, sleek, responsive shooter is, play Titanfall 2. That's how a shooter should be. This game is definitely not that.

I KNOW those, faggot. It does not detract from my point. Everything is still slow and dull, and simply because you can find the stun gun early game doesn't suddenly mean "oh there's all these great ways to deal with them" because you're assuming everyone should find it. All the "ways" you talk about still boil down to either using explosives to deal damage or glooing them and wrenching them, the rest of it is icing. Anything else isn't "early game."
Not unless they're within five feet of them. It was one of the first things I tried in the Trauma ward. I through everything I could pick up in the trauma lobby, and the phantoms NEVER noticed it unless they were two feet from impact. Fucking retarded. The goddamn HUNTRESS doesn't even fucking work like the devs intended, rather than getting distracted by the impact of the foam darts, the phantoms would immediately home in on the firing point of the dart (i.e. me) even if I shot a dart ten feet away from them when they were 50m across the room. They simply telepathically knew every time where the dart came from, even if I shot it behind them. That is so fucking stupid.
No it isn't. I'm only playing on hard, and without any upgrades it would take over two full mags to kill a phantom, even with sneak damage. Shotgun was shit too without upgrades. Did you not fucking read what I wrote? A pistol does LESS DAMAGE ON A HEADSHOT than a body shot with a wrench. FUCK THAT.

I'm thinking you're full of shit and a shill now.

The point was Bethesda once again making plebby shit and "forgetting" the most fucking basic of graphical options on a game because it was made for consoles. It's like neglecting to put in a brightness slider or audio slider or resolution choice. How many fucking games have they made, and they still "miss" something that should be in every game from the fucking start? Christ.

It barely poses a threat to begin with, it just takes fucking forever to kill anything unless you heavily upgraded something or are constantly glooing everything in sight. Gloo + upgraded shotgun is the most efficient, but I prefer to use powers to keep things interesting. The point was, you move way too slow at the start of the game. They shouldn't have made you move so fucking slow. It's ridiculous that you need neuromods to make it feel like you're walking at a normal speed, and even then that normal speed is "running". Can you believe that? There is walk, run, and sprint, and "run" is your default speed. When it feels like you're waltzing early game, that's you "running" without neuromods.

Bottom line, the game is flawed, it's precisely what I expected from a Bethesda shooter (although it is certainly better than any abortion they made in gamebryo, Bethesda usually makes far worse shooters than this, but then again it's Arkane who made it, and they sort of understand what they're doing). It's not something I would pay for or encourage anyone else to either. Especially not for dragging Prey's name through the mud, just to give us this.

Why is every Arkane fanboy a passive aggressive teenager? No, you're not impressing anyone. Fuck off.

I think sliding can work with dodging, unless video is with speed neruos.

sprinting is fine, but you can't sprint or slide in one direction and fire in another. That's the issue. Anyone who's played an FPS ever knows you want to dodge shots while putting rounds downrange yourself. Early game you strafe at the speed of a tortoise. Your best bet is to throw some gloo, duck behind something or otherwise move to avoid the shot, throw more gloo, move in with the wrench while trying to dodge phantom shots since they can still shoot while 'frozen'. Maybe sliding avoids those, I haven't tried.

Either way I'm long past early game and use more inventive methods, but I can fully understand why someone would try the game for 30 minutes and then uninstall. I almost did. All I can ask is that nobody pay for this game, it's not worth it for a list of reasons, not the least of which being
