Prey - System Shock meets Metroid by Arkane - The Bear and Badger

ShabbyMcCrabby

I need to look up some of the trailers but I could have sworn the enemies had more fancy shader work in the earlier ones. Other than the fact that it's hard to tell when a little mimic hits you I don't mind the design so much. I'm finding more enjoyment from exploring anyhow

Dark Soldier

Yeah its a very Deus Ex/Metroid explore-a-thon at heart.

Brooks

Watched some playthrough.

Looked deeply unremarkable.

Blocks100

It's all in the playing I guess.

Brooks

That seems very unlikely in this instance.

Yossarian

You don't play games Brooks, you let the serfs do it for you and sit above passing judgment.

Tempy

Ha, okay. I guess Psychotronics is where the real game starts. I was in the morgue and I had no idea how to get into a closed room. Well. What a solution, eh?

Spoiler:

Dark Soldier

Heh that's amazing

Tempy

Yeah I'd suggest anyone who finds this a bit dull at the start push past Psychotronics at least.

I stood on the shelf next to it the barred glass window, smashed it, mimicked a kinda jar of eel organs, and then hopped through the hole. Ridiculous.

Tempy

I don't see the edit?

Also I was reading the objective notes afterwards and apparently you can just wait for different solution, excellent. I have about 8 different things to do now which is overwhelming, but it feels really open which is a weird experience in a game that looks like Bioshock.

I waited for the other solution and it never turned up so I broke the window and nerf gunned the button to open the door.

I'm hoping they release some sort of making of for their process on designing the game. There's a lot of clever stuff.

Sorry...there wasn't an edit - I originally quoted you to reply then tabbed out. I had no idea I had actually posted. Weird.

Yeah, I nerf gunned.

Just did Calvinos office.

I adore how unobtrusive this game is.

Tempy

Ok so for the Morgue in Psychotronics I have thought of at least two other solutions

Spoiler:

I wish I didn't have an exam on Wednesday cos this game is prime creative real estate for a video.

You could come back after getting the Typhon mod for interacting with things at a distance of 10 meters to open the door.

You could probably also get the Typhon mod for controlling machinery and go back and control the operator?

There are more.

Edit:

Maybe...shit, I forgot, I'd have to check.

Tempy

There are probably more, yep, I'm just thinking with the toolkit I have.

Verecocha

Just gave The Nightmare a good seeing to. Enjoyed that. Are there more at random?

Stopharage

Cinty, as you've finished it, did you

Tempy

Re Turrets: you can use some of those Mods without fear. I have two and they basically say "constitution: unknown" and act as they previously did.

Use any typhon mods? I haven't so far and wondered whether the game dynamic changes beyond turrets getting aggro.

The Cargo Bay bit where I had to set the turrets up before I opened the door to all the beasts. I set up 8 because I'm a lunatic and they blitzed fuck out of them for me, saved everyone

Thanks and love

You're quite far now - probs entering final third.

Dark Soldier

Cheers man, I kinda thought I might have been with the way the plot is headed.

Loved every second so far.

Tempy

I got an alert for a completed mission that I don't think I completed? Bug or something I missed Cinty?

How far had you got in the mission?

Tempy

I have no idea. I'd picked it up and then whilst I was talking the arboretum it went off?

Dark Soldier

Btw Temps I tried out that solution you mentioned earlier in a similar situ. Its class

Howdy, Stranger!
