Started Prey knowing nothing about it except that it's made by the fine folks who made Dishonoured. The atmosphere is the big draw: it reminds me of Bioshock, but is its own thing. It has a discordant electronic soundtrack that perfectly complements the foreboding setting. Gameplay seems very Dishonoured/Deus Ex. The biggest surprise is that it's open world and not broken into segments like those games, so you don't have to worry about doing all the sidequests before forging onwards, or at least it seems that way. Story is cool weird sci-fi. |

The 2006 Prey was pretty alright but I never finished it. I'm glad to see this one is being so well received. |

I'd never heard of it, in fact this game wouldn't have registered with me at all if I hadn't recently played Dishonoured. Bethesda have not marketed it well. Their insistence on not sending out review copies seems counter-intuitive from a sales perspective. This thing is going to score 8s and 9s, which would've looked awfully impressive if every review landed on release. Instead they'll dribble out over the next couple of weeks and it won't get the limelight.

Yeah it's interesting that they're doing that, did it with nuDoom as well which did pretty well critically. Anyway, I found out this morning that Dishonored 2 had a demo so I downloaded, playing it now. It's unbelievably generous, for any era really, but especially now. It says that you get to do the first 3 missions. I've played for two hours and I've only done the first one, and am now just roaming around the main city. You also get to take your demo progress with you when you buy the main game. Pretty awesome. Edited by Doomguy, May 6 2017, 01:32 AM.

I picked that up today too for $25 at JB, which is just ridiculously cheap. |

I'm currently weaning myself off the anti-depressants I was taking since June last year. I definitely needed them at the time but frankly could've gone off them in, like, August once I was better and not feeling anxious anymore. I want to quit because whenever I drink or my sleep becomes inconsistent they start to mess with my balance and clarity of mind. Anyway, I halved the dosage for a few days and yesterday the chemicals in my head were doing backflips and I had to lay down in complete darkness because I was hypersensitive to everything. I've since mellowed out but am in a constant haze, as if the depressants are taking over (I'm not depressed, just sleepy). The true tragedy is...no booze, possibly for weeks... |

Fuck booze. I got really drunk last night. Like falling down drunk, and this morning I found my pants on the balcony and money from the pockets scattered on the floor throughout the apartment. What the hell was I doing? I haven't been that drunk in ages. Hopefully the weed guy shows up. I don't drink anywhere near as much when I have pot. |

It just dawned on me that Prey has a fucking Metroid style layout but with more open-ended gatekeeping ala Deus Ex. It's so cool. I've barely progressed in the story and am not pursuing side missions, but just exploring for the hell of it. It outclasses Dishonoured, a game I thoroughly enjoyed, with ease. |

I feel that Prey will end up in the bargain bin prices really quick, nothing to do with the quality of the game, just by going with Bethesda history. Dishonoured 2 dropped in price super quick. Dont see the point of buying games full price anymore. |

Yeah. When I bought prey I happened to snag Dishonoured 2 and Far Cry 4 together for $40. |

Nor do I, why should I pay full price for something that not only will go for a quarter of the price within 12 months, but it'll be a better fully patched product by then? |

Only exception I make to the rule is Nintendo games, they rarely drop in price. Well the good games essentially, first party titles. If anything they go up in price, due to rarity. Its fucked up how much Zelda games cost on Gamecube for example, I literally bought Windwaker and Twilight Princess just for collectible value. |

Yeah some companies' stuff stays expensive forever so it's not worth waiting for price's sake. Blizzard are the biggest offender I can think of on PC. For years I've been seeing stuff like Starcraft and Warcraft 3 Battlechests going for outrageously high prices in brick and mortar stores. The base games are 19 and 15 years old respectively, ffs. They should be dirt cheap across the board. People are willing to pay stupid money for something that's popular I guess. |

Never buy a Paradox Interactive game or any DLC unless it's on sale. You'll save hundreds in the scheme of things.
