Prey - Anyone play this?

I have never played Bioshock. I have played both of the System Shock games and Prey was a lot like them (System Shock if you dont know is a series which Bishock is supposed to be a spiritual successor to).

I really enjoyed Prey. You can tell a lot of love into it.
As far as advice, upgrade the shotgun (it will wreck phantoms if you do) and be absolutely sure you find the Q Beam and upgrade it, pretty much have to have it to kill some of the harder enemies. Also, you will get neuromods (as you may already be aware) that allow you to take typhon abilities. If you get one or two youre still safe from turrets, take too many and they will identify you as a typhon and try to kill you.

I did not do a typhon power build myself so I can not attest to how great the abilities are. Pretty much stuck to standard weapons.

Also, not gonna spoil but, be aware that your choices in regards to helping people on board the station in later parts of the game do affect the ending.

Other than that, have fun

I would say hold off on taking any typhon powers if you can.. it changes an aspect of the game later on that makes it more difficult for you. I ended up taking one ability I believe that I hardly used that made later parts harder than they needed to be.

So I'm assuming then, Yes, it is very much like Bioshock. Guess I'll continue on then since ya'll loved it so much.

i mean if you think shooters + powers = bioshock, then i suppose so. prey is much more of an immersive sim though, i.e. Deus Ex. so many ways to reach your goals

trust your baws from the dark souls thread. it's great

Pushing on through then. Having a hard time here in the early game.

I was stuck for quite awhile and could not figure out where to go and was damn close to quitting the game and then I realized a lot of the environment is climbable. Finally found the Propulsion system so I could go outside into space.

I use up almost all my ammo, Goo Gun, and Medkits anytime I run into a Phantom. Hopefully I find a better weapon soon.

I got it for $15 early this year. Great find. I enjoyed the heck out of it.

You need to use the foam darts to hit buttons to unlock doors.

Without giving away too much What can the foam darts be used for? i've tried shooting them as a distraction but not useful so far.

Some locked doors can be opened if u can get the right angle on the buttons.

Finally finished this. Thanks for urging to push through because this was a good game with a cool story. I guess I don't think outside the box anymore with video games because going online and reading stuff I had no idea all the different endings, character arcs, and how many things changed depending on when and how you completed objectives. And after revisiting this topic really wish I would have learned to use the foam darts like ya'll said. LOL

On to the next game.
