Gazpacho posted:nah it sucks so i uninstalled it. games that rigidly follow d&d mechanics are generally bad, and "hard at first, but gets easier" is a crazy dumb way to design a game I really like a masochistic difficulty curve though. I like becoming good with limited ability, then by the time you're powered up it's like you've earned being godlike. E - oh, you mean Prey, what? you get tons more enemies when you progress in the main mission. It's just by then you can wipe them out individually very quickly.

I got to that part in Prey where Alex wants me to learn Alien spells, but it sounds like a trap Gonna max out combat focus & security weapons instead. Can anyone confirm it is indeed a trap?

What was the name of the other augmented guy who was one of the big bads? Because first time I played the game when I got to area 51 and I saw him running towards me I blew him up with a rocket launcher before he got close enough to trigger the pre-boss dialogue. I reloaded the game to hear what he had to say. Then rereloaded and blew him up again.

i watched some let's play prey vids and it turns out i walked right past the shotgun because it wasn't presented clearly. naturally you dorks are gonna say this is my fault while ignoring that there are well established conventions for presenting essential weapons so that this doesn't happen. doom generally puts new weapons on lighted platforms, doom 2 starts you off looking straight at the shotgun and forces you to pick it up, HL2 has scripted sequences to present the grav gun and rocket launcher, HL2E1 puts the pistol next to a gate with a padlock, etc. etc. all of this is done because the designers thought about how someone other than themselves would experience the game. it's like the prey designers didn't playtest at all or ignored the playtester feedback because they think it's cool to be ~subtle~

Gazpacho posted:"hard at first, but gets easier" is a crazy dumb way to design a game Deus Ex is a game where you are basically unkillable a third of the way through when you get the regen aug and then they give you an infinite use laser sword that kills anyone in one hit just to make absolutely sure it loses all it's challenge.

Yeah but if you move super fast, jump super high, go invisible, and can use the laser sword to open any door and kill anyone in one hit, it's actually better than being super slow and lining up shots.

Gazpacho posted:i watched some let's play prey vids and it turns out i walked right past the shotgun because it wasn't presented clearly. I missed the shotgun at the beginning of prey as well and didn't pick it up until after I met the first couple of survivors. I made it up to that point just fine using the glue gun, the pistol (try to find the typhon's head! Headshots do matter) and grenades. I thought it was neat that the gun specifically wasn't placed on a rotating glowing platform in front of a door you had to go through. Have you perhaps tried not sucking at games silvergoose posted:How can you not be able to get past Simons, just blow him up with a gep gun it's really not that hard. I can quote most of deus ex lines off the top of my head, but not Walton Simon's in the boss fights because I think 9 times out of 10 I just speed aug and jump past him and leave him at the bottom of the ocean Sagebrush fucked around with this message at 18:44 on Jul 12, 2017 |

Anyway having the game be a little bit more challenging at the beginning, where the burning typhons kill you in one hit so you have to sneak around them, makes it that much more satisfying when you get the level 3 brain explosion and all the psi boosters and upgrade your shotgun all the way and you see one of those guys and it's like "yawn, another one? *kerzap* *splat*”

I didn't realize GMDX won't let you silence the regular pistol so I was dropping upgrades on it until I got a silencer and it kind of ruined my day. Also all the new upgrades they created apparently aren't in 8.0.

I'm pretty sure you can't silence the regular pistol in vanilla Deus Ex either

Sagebrush posted:I'm pretty sure you can't silence the regular pistol in vanilla Deus Ex either Yeah but you should use it anyway cause holy poo poo it's a death machine when you mod it up and get it to max skill. Then make sure you drop it before gunther steals it, and make sure you get the right one back after getting captured, it's so easy to do it incorrectly and whoops there goes your murder pistol.

COMRADES posted:How's the second one? if you liked the first one you'll like the second but you'll get to the end and be like "yeah, that was nice but I'm done". It's really pretty and plays well and has a well-realized world but it's a sequel in the truest sense. It takes absolutely no risks and is really just more of the same game. also if you're the kind of person who cares about plot in their murder simulators it doesn't even bother with the kind of predictable "twist" that the first one had. you'll know within 15 minutes of playing the game exactly how the story will go
