Why do you guys want to keep giving goty to games with shitty gameplay? No op. No.
Debating picking this one up but opinion is pretty divided. Likely wait for a good sale in case I strongly dislike it.

I've set up some pretty elaborate and on-the-fly series of traps for phantoms when I barely had any ammo and it worked beautifully. Those moments in a game when shit actually works logically and you sit there thinking "oh wow...damn".
I had a very memorable encounter where I knew a higher level (forget which one) Phantom was a floor below me and I could see him moving about through the grating. I grabbed a turret from another room and set that up where I knew he would have to turn left if coming up the stair case. Next I picked up an explosive barrel and positioned it at the stair landing slightly below the turret ran downstairs and popped a pistol bullet into its back to aggro it. Jetted back up the stairs and shot one of the wall pipes for toxic damage, while he was being stunned by that hurled the barrel, ran further up the stairs and watched the turret finish it off as soon as it turned the corner upstairs.
Funny, I bought DE: MD after this game because I felt I wanted more immersive sim awesomeness.I'm still enjoying it very much and I would definitely play a sequel, but coming out of Deus Ex: Mankind divided (that I loved!), this game is not as fun.

I have yet to go past the 10 hours because I hated it fiercely.
THAT is a game where I didn't like "the moment to moment gameplay".
And for context I absolutely loved the previous one; it's just that something feels completely off with the sequel.
GOTY, though? Insanity. Breath of The Wild, Persona 5, Nier Automata, Divinity 2, Sonic Mania, Splatoon 2, Resident Evil 7, Nioh, Cuphead, Horizon Zero Dawn, Hollow Knight, Yakuza 0, Steamworld Dig 2, etc etc etc. It's been too good a year.
I'm currently going through the game.
Just reached the GUTS segment, that alone keeps this game from being anywhere a GOTY list. It's tedious, hideous and adds nothing of value to the game. It's terrible!
With that out of the way...
I can see why this game was very hit or miss.
I do like the atmosphere, soundtrack is probably my favorite of the year, the first 8 hours are indeed amazing, there are some cool powers, the looting and item management is very rewarding and well done.
The problem is, the moment to moment gameplay is simply not that fun. And because of that, whenever the game is nothing showing you something new, fresh and cool, it loses the appeal and becomes a little boring.
Enemies are some of the most boring and uninteresting I've seen this gen. Stealth is a joke. Surprisingly, I don't think the gunplay is as bad as some say, it's perfectly fine for a sim game.

Got this game and i seriously cannot get into it. The gunplay and tasking seems terrible this early in.
Any tips on how to make the game simpler or easier for myself to just get through the story, which seems interesting enough?
Haha, GUTS section is the area where I stopped playing for a while. It felt annoying and uninspired to me. Reminds me of the hurdle that the Med Bay in Alien: Isolation was. That made me stop playing for a long time before I got back to it and beat it. Maybe itll be the case win Prey, well see.
Will pick this up when the Enhanced X patch comes. I played the demo and was quite pleased.
Is the X patch confirmed ? Im wanting to play this but waiting for black friday to pick up a few games and been holding off to also play on the X if there is a patch.
Most people dislike GUTS because they haven't figured out the easy way to deal with the tiny floating bombs. They react to movement, simply throw something in their direction and they will attack it and explode.
Picked this game up on Steam and I'm loving it so far. Only about a hour in. Does anyone know if their is any stealth sections in the game?
There are no mandatory stealth sections. However the gameplay encourages stealth as it helps you save on resources, especially at higher difficulties.
I tried.I need to do an all alien playthrough someday.
Of all the possible positions to take about this game, this has to rank pretty high among the silliest.No matter how good this game is, I simply won’t play it because they killed the prequel which I really loved and enjoyed.

Take it as you want, doesn’t really matter to me.
I loved the first Prey, and waited for the sequel for years, just to see them misuse the name for some weird spinoff horror game that has nothing to do with the first.
It’s like saying it’s silly if Half-Life players won’t buy the third game if it ever comes, because it’s a racing game instead of a FPS.
Fucking right?It's cutting off your nose to spite your face which is always pretty silly. Your choice, though.
Human Heads Prey was very niche so I doubt the Prey name had any effect. Even if Arkane's Prey was called something else, it still wouldn't do wellThe game is amazing, but the IP was severely mismanaged. Giving it the Prey name was a big mistake. They essentially sent the game to the wrong audience.

The late game in Prey with the spawning enemies is very misunderstood. At first I was annoyed as well but like with everything else in this game there is way to avoid it.Played this nonstop for like a week straight. Got near the end and then just stopped playing. Don't really like the late game at all. Felt like a chore at some point.
I think it's just too long. Probably never going back to finish it.
I definitely did NOT take the best from Deus Ex.
Or at least did a shit job aping it.
Source: Tried playing it. It was a fucking slog.
While there are indeed flaws in the end game (and in the enemy variety in general) I'd like to point that it's actually as long as you want to make it.Played this nonstop for like a week straight.

There's nothing inherently demanding in terms of time investment. In fact I've seen people argue for pretty much the opposite "("I rushed it a bit by the end and it felt so sudden").
The game doesn't actually force you to go through any mandatory passage, pretty much any piece of content in the final hours can be skipped at your discretion.
