Why was a single person excited for Prey 2? The first game was fine but it wasn't amazing or anything.

Yeah seems like he was soured from the beginning just because it wasn't Prey 2. Also lol at his evidence against the "play it your way" motto being that he restarted his game because of his own lack of commitment to playing it his own way Mr E posted:Why was a single person excited for Prey 2? The first game was fine but it wasn't amazing or anything. I'm assuming Jim Sterling was the single person in question

Who cares? The guy is a moron who decides which games will be good and which will be bad before he even plays them. His review praising Horizon for having things and then panning Breath of the Wild for having the same things proves that. He reviews good games poorly to rile people up.

My favourite thing about Jim Sterling is his weird fascist cosplay and the fact that people are like "naw man he doesn't do that anymore" but then you click on a recent video of his and he's actually still doing it.

I think people otf are way crazier about Prey than the public at large, tbqh. Sterling also uses the full 1 -> 10 scale instead of "anything below a 7 is horrible" IGN weighting so he just thinks it's average. Who cares!

It's certainly still similar and he would have been better off changing or adding more than he did but he's going for a more twisted theme park motif now.

I respect Sterling and agree with him with a lot of stuff. That said I hear a lot of complaints and just think "dude it's video games and they're a business. Of course they aren't going to give a gently caress." He also has a thing about ridiculing " hardcore games for getting mad at game being dumbed down for the mass market" and doesn't see how his viewpoint contradicts things like his hate for wide openworld games with little content.

So how is Conan Exiles? For some reason I thought it was an MMO but I guess it's a survival game?

StrixNebulosa posted:https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2018/07/06/biggest-games-on-steam-2018/ Civ VI is fun and Kingdom Come is a great if buggy game in a popular genre. The director's a bit of a poo poo, but it's a game that now lets you turn off things like the compass and your position on the map and turn on sleepwalker mode, meaning every time you sleep you now turn up somewhere random.

succ posted:should i buy prey or play system shock 2, which i already have? System Shock 2. While Prey is a great game, a good part of what makes it stand out is that they don't really make these types of games anymore. Sinilar to how say Pillars of Eternity initially bgot a very warm reception, but it has since cooled since traditional styled WRPGs have become more common. In contrast, System Shock 2 is one of the greatest games of all-time and has aged very well to boot. You will definitely understand why so many people have a beef with the Bioshock series. If you enjoy System Shock 2 and want more, buy Prey as it is essentially System Shock 3.

Actually, I'd say play Systen Shock 1 Enhanced Edition first, it's a fun environment to explore and it'll get you into the mood for SS2.
