Yep. The game can look really beautiful at times. The gameplay got dragged down too unfortunately by the performance, as it's not as fluent as D1.

[Conely]

actually i did mean D2 and Prey as well, but now i think about it it's mainly just the charcter proportions. i don't like how some character designs are realistic and some are borderline caricatures with big forearms or tiny heads or what have you, hence why i describe the style as uneven.

[Borealis]

Is there a story consequence to using the alien mods in Prey?

[The_J_Hat]

No, not really.

[Borealis]

I don't want spoilers, just if that if I can use them or not with a "best" ending (if the game even has multiple endings)

[The_J_Hat]

Yeah, you can. Honestly, they’re very useful

[Borealis]

I looked at the spoiler and it's nothing lol, got me.

I think it's a good time to revive this thread;

Anyone get to try typhon hunter yet? I'm just getting an infinite loading screen.

[knimren]

The reviews are really bad for that mode apparently

[E Quantifier]

It honestly plays like crap. I can't tell when I'm hitting anything as Morgan, and I couldn't seem to attack anything as a mimic. Feels super hacked together. Would rather play prophunt.

[PotatoArmada]

That's a shame. Prey has the perfect setup for a prophunt game.

[Geel]

They literally switched engines from CryEngine to Unreal Engine.

At that point just don't fucking do it people

[DiscoInferno]

So... I got Prey in the sale. The movement feels like it lurches, with an odd delay, and combat makes my eyes glaze over. I'm not sure the game is running right but I can't tell if there's a problem with the
game, my hardware or settings, or if my 90s brain is so used to terrible SD big boxy screens that modern games just overload my brain.

[knimren]

Movement and combat is generally pretty weird in Prey. It's not really supposed to be an action shooter but the mechanics could be more refined.

[Bald & Beautiful]

prey for me is more of a narrative experience than a gameplay one, though I dunno why they seem to keep playing against their strengths with the post-launch stuff

[The_J_Hat]

Yikes.

[knimren]

Wait what? They changed engines for Typhon Hunter??
