Official Prey Thread

Does anyone else have an active download problem with the game?

It seems to constantly stop downloading during offline gameplay. Hell, I've had it tell me it stopped downloading several times without a starting download message.
 
I played this game today and didn't think it was anything that great. I'll pay
 
[quote name='Roufuss']Um... why did you merge the PC Prey thread into the 360 Prey thread? That's kind of stupid.

I went to go ask a question in the PC thread, and it's gone, and I'm pretty sure 360 people won't be able to help me with a PC related issue.[/quote]

Sorry. To be honest, I just saw three Prey threads and merged them all. Was there all that much PC discussion going on? I was keeping up with all the threads - I must not have noticed it if there was. I can move this to General Gaming, considering it is a multiplatform game, and you can ask PC questions. Shit, I doubt many people would care if you asked them here now.
 
I'm wondering the same thing. I play Prey on the 360. I never browse the pc section here because I don't play pc games. I don't see what the problem is for each gaming console section having a Prey thread but thats just me.
 
[quote name='Tha Xecutioner']For those on the fence about buying this game, wait til July 17th and get it from PlayAsia for $40 bucks: http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-dw-49-en-70-1gxl.html

Edit: site says Asian region only for now, will update when it's clear whether or not there will be any region protection.[/quote]
Well, looks like they finally gave a nod to the US compatibility. $40 for it on PlayAsia (also on the Deals section, but I reported it 2 days earlier :p ). Seems like a fair price for that game, but $5 more off of that and I'll take it.
 
so officially how long is the single player, not rushing through? is it at least 10 hours?

I'd say more like 6-8 hours.
 
[quote name='seanr1221']Got my Game Informer today...

Prey is the game of the month! 9.5 rating!

Second opinion gave it a 9.[/QUOTE]

That seems a little high. I'm enjoying the hell out of it, but I'd give it an 8. maybe 8.5 at the most.
 
My thoughts on the game, spoilers included.

I beat the game last night. For me, the game started off very strong. I was totally into it. Beatin' those guys with wrenches and then getting abducted by aliens while 'Don't Fear the Reaper' is blarin' through the jukebox was fuckin' awesome. The next few levels on the spaceship fighting aliens while trying to figure out what the hell was going on was a lot of fun. As the game progressed, though, it felt more like a chore and I was just beating the game to get it over with. The areas where you flew the craft around and were out in space were extremely boring. I did like the puzzles, as they weren't anything I've seen before. I really dig the wallwalking and gravity switches as well. The last few fights were somewhat anticlimatic and just... not fun. The story as a whole was alright, but nothing spectacular.

The game started off at about a 9.5, but in the end, gets a 7 from me.
 
I started playing the multiplayer last night (which I never even bothered to try out on the demo) and it wasn't to bad. It was pretty much what I expected. I ended up playing for a while and unlocking all the weapon and deathmatch achivements. Time to start up on some Team Deathmatch.
 
I just finished the SP mode. I really enjoyed it. I am going to go back and finish it on cherokee...some day.

Now it is time to play some MP.

DON'T READ THIS UNLESS YOU HAVE FINISHED THE GAME DAMMIT YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
I can't wait to play the next game in the series is about 10 years on the Nintendo Xbox Station

I too finished the SP today, and really liked the ending parts. Dunno if I'm up for beating it on Cherokee any time soon.

Anywho, if I see you on later sometime Kendal I'll try getting a game started with you. All I need are the team deathmatch achievements, leech gun achievement and play 10 ranked matches achievement.
 
[quote name='Kendal']I need all of them. I have yet to play on Live with the retail version.[/QUOTE]


They'll come really fast, especially if you go in with a mindset thinking, "The next 3 rounds I'll only use the rifle."

Before you know it you almost have all of them.
 
Shiny, contrived poop with laughable 90s-era multiplayer.

Quintessential rental material.

Umm...What did you expect .
What do you consider to be the high water-mark for FPS's ?
 
Half-Life 2.

Though, in reality, I'm sort of partial to more squad-based tactical FPS like GRAW and R6.

I sort of knew what I was getting into, but I had certainly hoped for more than Doom with a fresh coat of hokey warpaint.

Our disargeement makes total sense , since I pretty much despise squad based shooters .
I guess we're both lucky each exist .:lol:
 
I just beat the single player today. I stretched it out a little because I knew it was short. Fun game. I hated the flying in the ship parts. I know they were there to break things up but I hated them and wish they did without them. The end boss was....EASY!! Time to beat it on Cherokee. After getting all the achivements in multiplayer I think I'm done with it. Its fun with 6 or more people but it usually lagsss.
 
I can't deal with this lag for multiplayer anymore, I'm thinking of trading this in. I mean its fun but there's so many things that need to be patched on multiplayer. Lag and respawns especially. The respawn pisses me off to no end. I mean there's no rhyme or reason as to how long it will take for you to respawn, then when you finally do respawn, half the time its in the middle of a gunfight that's already going on. I really love this game but this multiplayer is just too frustrating.

Why not just play in rooms 5-6 players until the patch comes out ?

You can do what you want , it's your $30 loss .
 
Prey was pretty good. I didn't think it was as good as the demo. The middle got kind of boring. But the last couple hours picked back up. I got a bit tired of pressing touchpads to open doors/portals/forcefields. And some of the puzzles were pretty abstract like 'I know I'm lighting paths or shooting squares, but what is it I'm actually doing in relation to the gameworld again?'

Anyway the gravity tricks and portals were great. There's quite a few nice touches in the game. The game isn't quite polished enough to be a top fps game, but it's creative enough to be just under that.

The multiplayer seemed pretty darn fun to me the one night I got on. Yeah it's just deathmatch. But the maps are wild with all the portals, wall walking and gravity changes.
 
[quote name='Tha Xecutioner']Just downloaded the soundtrack for this game..it's amazing. I'm glad the LE gave me a slip for the free download.[/QUOTE]

I'll have to download mine and check it out .
