melkathi Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 Played the new build for Phoenix Point. First attempt was a breeze. It was the standard demo map, which starts you at the edge of the map, so it was easy to have the new vehicle take point and everyone else move up behind it. Tried a random map next and got deployed right in the centre of the map. That went bad real fast. My sniper kept missing. My heavy was failing to pierce and shred armour. Everyone died. Everyone expect for the aliens that is. Next random map I won, but only two of the four troopers survived. The mechanic got stuck with the vehicle, tried to dash to cover but the boss monster caught up with him. The heavy was pummeling the boss from afar but not fast enough. After taking out the monster, the sniper had his rifle shot out of his hand and ended up running circles to try and get to a cache or a corpse. The commando had to take the last couple of surviving aliens out by himself. Out of ammo he managed to grab the heavy's machine gun and blast the last alien. 2 Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).
wolfrider100 Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 (edited) I grabbed Prey while it was still on sale for $15, I just have to now found the time to play it, since I'm in the middle of a second playthrough for The Witcher 3 (third time through I'm going to be doing new game plus mode) and I also have just started The Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel II.

Skazz Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 I'm playing Final Fantasy 8 on PC. I really like how this game has characters that actually look like human beings. The semi sci-fi setting is great too. I couldn't get into 9, but I've enjoyed 8 a lot so far. FFVIII deserves more love than it gets, if only because of "Don't Be Afraid". 2
Tale Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 Are people praising FFVIII? Don't make me go get some Cheetos and Mountain Dew so we can have ourselves a good old fashioned cheesy fingered internet argument. I will bust out some overly jpeged image macros and you will know I am for real. Or I guess I could just accept that people like things I don't. 5 "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Majek Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 No, they're weird in a really bad way if they like FFVIII. 1 1.13 killed off Ja2.

The game was a great template for hours of fun. He just confuses fan made content with the original campaign. No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.

Keyrock Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 (edited) I started playing Prey. I'm definitely in to it so far. I get a strong System Shock vibe from the game, which is obviously a compliment.

GhostofAnakin Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 I do? I just don't find enough material to make ammo for my guns. Either that or I just waste too many rounds killing enemies.

Lexx Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 I think Prey is pretty nice, but..... it just doesn't hook me. I haven't finished it yet, because, I don't know. Guess it just means I'm more a fan of Thief-styled games than System Shock, because I'm loving Dishonored (2) and I could replay it all the time, while I can't even finish Prey. Don't have any problems with the ammo at all, except for that big laser thingy gun which I forgot the name of. Though, I actually like the shotgun the most. Gave it plenty upgrades to make it even better. 1 "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
Katphood Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 BroForce. It's like a combination between Super Meatboy and Contra. It's fun when the ceiling isn't collapsing on your head. I do? I just don't find enough material to make ammo for my guns. Either that or I just waste too many rounds killing enemies. I had the same problem and Fenixp suggested that I should use Stealth to avoid enemies. I'll get back to it someday. 1 There used to be a signature here, a really cool one...and now it's gone.
Blarghagh Posted July 7, 2018 Author Posted July 7, 2018 Try it (BroForce) multiplayer. Chaos is an understatement. 1
melkathi Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 Phoenix Point has limited ammo, destructible equipment, and body parts with their own hp. As a result it also has loot caches so you can grab whatever you find if a lucky shot has wrecked your machine gun or disabled one arm and you can now only shoot a pistol with your off hand. That's all nice. But if the random map has a lot of loot between yourself and the opponents, it makes you wonder if the Firaxis Mission Timer might not be a good idea. Last mission I looted 6 caches before moving on after the initial firefight. 1 Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).

I just don't find enough material to make ammo for my guns. Either that or I just waste too many rounds killing enemies. Well, it really pays to learn which eneimes are weak to what weapons. But if the random map has a lot of loot between yourself and the opponents, it makes you wonder if the Firaxis Mission Timer might not be a good idea. Last mission I looted 6 caches before moving on after the initial firefight. Please, no... It's interesting for the occasional mission (like the train one in the first reboot), but get annoying when it's all the time like in XCOM2...
mkreku Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 I started playing Prey. I'm definitely in to it so far. I get a strong System Shock vibe from the game, which is obviously a compliment. It's an underrated gem. Really though? No-one on this forum has ever said anything bad about this game (except that whiner on this forum who has never said anything positive about anything ever) and it has a metacritic score of 80+. I think it's actually overrated on these forums. I bought it because of all the hype on here and I'm underwhelmed. For some reason the entire game feels like one endless scripted event from. You walk from level to level, ever sucking up resources, ever shooting/fighting the same three or four black blob enemy types. Every once in a while the game lets you get more of those level up thingies and you get ever so slightly more powerful. Then it's on to the next level with slightly more powerful enemies (still the same blobs but now in different colours) or the exact same level you just left, but now respawned with those colourful blobs. There are (almost) no riddles to solve, no clues to find, no puzzles to get stuck on. Just a looong repetitive trek around the spaceship (that might as well have been a hotel.. or Bioshock city.. or any typical gamey indoors environment). The few puzzles there are are so signposted that they don't feel like challenges, just another way for the developer to try to show how clever they are (they aren't). I'll still complete it, I think, but I don't understand the hype. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
SonicMage117 Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 I like Prey's atmosphere, the story was predictable but I enjoy that, personally. I didn't like some of the mechanics, I agree with everyone here who says the crafting is uneeded and the low ammo is a problem. My complaint is warranted because of the vast number of spawning enemies especially in the latter parts of the game. Turning into some objects was also unnecessary, comical but I felt the developers could had been more creative or put their efforts elsewhere. I like the enemy designs, basic but remind me of symbiotic creatures from Spider-Man. All in all, it wasn't as "cool" as the original Prey but I played this one after seeing Life and it hit the spot and achieved what it intended (I think). In the end, my review was mixed, I think I had a better time with Alien Isolation, totally different game but ALOT in common no less. I can see why some people would really like it, it's not typical by any means. Just what do you think you're doing?! You dare to come between me and my prey? Is it a habit of yours to scurry about, getting in the way and causing bother? What are you still bothering me for? I'm a Knight. I'm not interested in your childish games. I need my rest. Begone! Lest I draw my nail...
Lexx Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 I think ammo in Prey is only limited if you can't stop yourself from shooting at everything all the time. :> 1 "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
