Prey isn't developed by Bethesda, only published by them. It's from Arkane, the people that brought you Dishonoured series.

Demo was pretty meh, floaty shooting, dull enemies, awful sound design, 'choose your own path through this door!' literally puts key card a meter away, etc. Even if that's just the opening area it's a good illustration of why you shouldn't demo the most boring part of a game.

Do you think that people should know what boss mechanics are in a game before they even start playing it? That learning how bosses work isn't a part of jrpgs?

irlZaphod posted:Cool, Spoilers. It's an optional thing you'd never see if you play normally and have to search out for it to actually fight, and the characters bring it up the very first time you visit the dungeon. I'm a huge proponent of not spoiling anything in that game because i think it's the best game I've ever played and want people to go into blind, and even I think that's not a spoiler at all.

Again, it looked like a solution to beating a boss/enemy in the game, not "basic game mechanics".

The Reaper has been a gameplay mechanic in P3, P4, and P5, it has always had zero plot relevancy and you're usually not even SUPPOSED to fight it or beat it without some kind of exploit. Hell, most people probably won't even encounter it. I understand wanting to avoid spoilers, but if something as innocuous as that counts as a spoiler for some people, then it will become pretty hard to actually discuss video games, imo

I should've been less vague, but the reaper isn't really a boss and unless you're in the habit of dropping your controller in the random gen dungeons you'll never see it.

Regardless, tripping over potential spoilers untagged in the general PS4 thread is no fun, even casual, D-grade spoilers like the existence of The Reaper in P5.

At some point you have to just disengage from the threads that repeatedly spoil the thing you want very badly to remain unspoiled, I've done that here in the past. It's not practical to expect several dozen goons to holds themselves up to your personal standards indefinitely, especially if those standards are clearly much higher than average. Conversely, do try not to be a dick and put some thought into tagging things if you're talking about a very recently released game.

It's less that my enjoyment on things relies on mystery, and more that I recognize the fun in discovering stuff for myself. None of these little tidbits being dropped in this thread are going ruin the game, but each one is also something I don't get to discover or be surprised by. I've never played a persona game before and I am looking forward to getting P5 after finals in 3 weeks. I'm not "being triggered", the game isn't "being ruined", but I also think it would be considerate to not keep sharing these things in the general ps4 thread, where multiple people have made it clear we don't want Persona spoilers. This is like the third time this has come up. Whether you agree or not, why not just err on the side of being nice?

It's really not a spoiler, it's not even a boss actually, it's just a powerful enemy that appears if you sit still in a dungeon for a few minutes. And it's not a story dungeon, it's the randomly generated dungeon that you can go to any time

the reaper has been in persona since 3 (and is even in some of the spinoffs like pq), it's not a spoiler that it exists. that's like saying that you can swap between personas in battle is a spoiler

They tell you the reaper will come get you if you stay too long in Memento's literally the first time you go there. The way he worded it seems spoilerly but is really just a weird oversight, there is 5 days on the calendar of "flu season" that can inflict it with a status that kills it in 3 turns if you fight him during those days. Presumably due to an oversight, since he is immune to all other status effects and supposed to be hard. Basically it's a super soft spoiler of a minor exploit. I wouldn't be surprised if you easily go the entire game without seeing the Reaper normally. My spoilered text is basically what the exploit is in case you don't want to know.

The only thing I'm making a big deal about is that people insist on being dicks about it. Does finding out about the reaper mechanic ruin the game for me? No. But in response to it, i say "I would rather find out about those things on my own" to which someone responds with more information about it? Like why do you always gotta be such edgelords in defining and quantifying why the stuff you're saying isn't technically any kind of spoilers, when several people, including me, have asked for that to be kept out of this thread? Oh, I get it, this is something awful, so if we can't handle being trolled, that's on us. Whatever.

I think the way that he worded it led to it intentionally seeming much worse than it is, while it was an offhand comment it probably didn't need to be posted in that way even though it was just drawing attention to the weird way you can kill it with the exploit. At the very least he could have just said there is a boss that <spoiler text in tags> but it truly was minor ultimately what he said since it is explicitly explained very quickly in game to you.
