    wow, I never thought I'd see the day where Mac compares a game to half life 2 in a positive way

      Look up the concept of opinions. Also of all the reviewers being paid off, I can say with certainty Mack doesn't get paid. I don't even agree with all of his reviews, but there's one thing you can certainly say and that he's honest, almost to a fault.

    • @tytarian2639
      @tytarian2639 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      The demo convinced not to buy it, to be brutally honest, it was a good attempt but is simply not a quality product I am happy Mack and others out there enjoy it but it's as if people are so starved for something like the good 'ol days they are letting emotions get the best of them and are leaping heart first into them looking for anything that pulls them in like the classics of yesteryear, People PREY is not the game you are looking for and when the dust settles and sanity resumes it's shaky course, history will place this game where it belongs, in the mediocre pile and the heavily discounted.

    • @ValravnPrince
      @ValravnPrince 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think you've got a solid point there. I mean if we were swamped with great games, how would a game like Prey hold up in that scenario. Unfortunately that's not the world we live in, then again I completely disagreed with Mack about the Witcher 3.

    From a steam reaview
    "My girlfriend asked why I carry a gun around the house? I looked her dead in the eye and said, "the mother♥♥♥♥ing mimics".
    She laughed
    I laughed
    The coffee mug laughed.
    I shot the coffee mug, it was a good time."
    bloody love it xD

    • @justingalloway286
      @justingalloway286 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      He said that it'd been since Black that he played an FPS of this caliber/type, not necessarily that it was the best FPS since Black.
      Though I do agree, it is kinda easy to get those meanings confused, lol

    • @Zombie_Burger
      @Zombie_Burger 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      He said the last time he played a dedicated made for pc game his beard was black and now it's grey
      And none of this port from console shite!

    • @michaelsteffensen6844
      @michaelsteffensen6844 7 ปีที่แล้ว +21

      You totally misunderstood him. He said the last time he played a FPS this good his beard was still black (not grey like it is now). The game "Black" sucks and I'd be surprised if Mack even remembers it (or indeed even knew about it).

      was hoping it was good. as like you Mack, grew up in an almost extinct era of PC gaming. heres truly hoping this game smashes records etc and gets other major developers to buck up and stop the modern COD-shite rinse repeat games, with no challenge and all the help.

    • @jadedshard9650
      @jadedshard9650 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      could it be because of the alien bits in you that give you that little heads up? I know its not it but feel that's what they would say to avoid giving the chance to turn it off

    • @Zombie_Burger
      @Zombie_Burger 7 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Sadly the COD era are our kids and they are growing up more and more with pc's in a can aka consoles.
      Innovation is dead.
      Ever watch the movie "Idiocracy", sadly that's the way the world is heading..
      Nuff said. Pc's are the lifeblood of the industry (games and business) having them slow down for consoles is a joke and an insult.
      Adding insult to injury there are even phone apps converted to play on pc.

    Summary:
    It's great that at least one developer can still make good games, the last decade has been terrible if you look at the percentage of good AAA games compared to bad ones. It was getting to the stage where people were just giving any old crap 9/10 because there was nothing else to challenge it, thankfully Prey has arrived to show them there is a better way to make games.
    My review was as minimalist as the HUD because I did not want to spoil the game for you, yes it's one of those games that is full of little moments that make you think, wow thats so damn cool. The story is not what i expected and to even give any of it away would be a sin, it's deep, full of twists and has a few good characters to keep it moving along nicely. So instead of spoiling it all for you I chose to concentrate on the port, the controls and the gun play and they are all great. The enemy Ai is strange, I still have not figured them out, sometimes they run/teleport so damn fast towards you and other times they just stomp towards you as you fill them with lead. It's quite brutal at times.
    The game is not perfect but it's a step in the right direction, it still has stupid tagging that i have not been able to get rid of, I have everything switched off yet I still get that stupid bar above some enemy heads. It's not game breaking but it would be a better game without it for sure.
    So if you want to go back to when games were great I do suggest you pick this one up, it's a very immersive game that can be played at a really slow pace, soaking up the atmosphere, the environment and arming yourself to the teeth in the process, well done Arkane software.

    • @Cenot4ph
      @Cenot4ph 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Good game, but it borrows soo much from Bioshock. The setting, the upgrade system and the general feel seems almost like a lot of developers from Bioshock worked on this game. IT's good! But it's just not better than Bioshock to me because of this.

    Also if I remember correctly Arkane said this was made for PC then for consoles.

    • @cutealiens
      @cutealiens 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I downloaded the demo on my PS4 - I didn't last 1 minute in it. The fps was so bad it was like playing a fucking slideshow - there is NO WAY it's even managing 30 on console. Because 30 sucks, but like, I can do it. This was just... unplayable. Can't wait to get it running on my PC.

    • @tenyearsinthejoint1
      @tenyearsinthejoint1 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      William Brinkman Damn, that's surprising. I knew that the consoles processing power aren't very powerful but 30 fps sounds insane!! I'm surprised!

    Prey looks like modern re-imagining of System Shock 2. After watching this video im even tempted to buy the game for full price.

  • @aaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
    @aaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaa 2 ปีที่แล้ว +28

    Total necro-post here but I had to say it:
    The very first time you exit the airlock for your first spacewalk outside of TALOS-1, and the creepy atmospheric music kicks in, and you turn around and realize the scale of the station with the Moon and Earth in the background....
    That was one of my top 3 "holy shit" moments of gaming ever. Gave me absolute chills.
    This game is a sheer masterpiece of visuals, music and atmosphere/immersion. 10/10.

    • @bilibistrox
      @bilibistrox ปีที่แล้ว +3

      So true. Five years I stayed away from this game, I don't know why, it didn't get to me, until yesterday .There are huge moments,like you sed, when you realise how big it is, and there are little things, like sometimes enviormental fans began to rotate bcs of the tremors the station is producing , and then slowly stop. Or when you are in a security stations, with all the cameras displays, and if a Phantom is in one of the rooms, the image on that monitor is blured and distorted. Today I heard sounds from a rest room ,I opened the door and a mimic was making his way out of the toilet. It scared so much I instantly shoot the the glue gun.....AND TRAPED IT IN THE TOILET. Now I hear him scratching and making furious sounds, but he can't get out. How the developers integrated this huge number of details is beyond me. I simply can't comprehend !

    You're right Mac. This game really rewards you for your curiosity. I'm really early in the game and the first thing I did after getting out of the helicopter is seeing if I can chop my head walking back into the helicopter blades. I died and shortly after received an achievement for doing that.

    Perks & kind-of-like-nearly-X-ray-vision = "game of the year material" :)
    Crafting seems neat, makes it less FPS more RPG but fine I can live with that, but to me the game looks bland, lifeless and plastic, even Prey 2006 looked more atmospheric than this, even if it has no things in common apart from the title.
    If it was 20€ not a big loss, but for 60€ - no way it is worth a buy.

    After trying to play the System Shock remake and getting about halfway through before getting sick of the dated navigation and level design, I reinstalled this for the first time since 2017. This is a true System Shock for the modern age, as in IMPROVED. Didn't get nearly enough credit back in the day.

    For whatever reason I just couldn't quite get into the demo upon release and so hadn't bothered since. Picked it up on sale a while back for £9.99 and finally installed this week, thought I'd risk giving it another bash at that price... And man I'm about 7 hrs in now and absolutely hooked! It definitely feels like a much appreciated throwback to some of the classics - Deus Ex, System Shock 2 etc. Choosing what to level up is really agonising at times because everything feels needed, everything has a dozen locations/situations (either known or imagined) where it'd be seriously useful. Such complexity is very rare these days. A real gem.

    Played the first hour on ps 4 to check it out and just finished my first hour the computer. It reminds me a lot of half life so far and that is a good thing. Morgan hmmm Gordan hmmm. Gordon sounds like Morgan - go to the test chamber. Hah ha. I use a Gtx 1070 with a i7. Everything is maxed out at 2880x1620 and it runs with out a problem. I did try 4k and it lagged. I dropped down to 2880x1620 and it went right back to running without any lag. If it weren't for Half Life 1998, I never would have got into pc gaming. I like this game and i cannot wait to play tomorrow when i get home from work. I use a xbox controller and it works really really good. i have to use a controller i have my computer hooked up to my tv so its awkward to use mouse and keyboard. The controls with a game pad are really good. i like controllers for single player games it makes it more challenging

    lets be honest. Its pretty much exactly like bioshock but with different enemies. start out with a wench, open levels, no cutscenes, crafting, you got nueromods(tonics) you got the plasmids even. Then we have the tapes you can find and its in space so you cant breathe outside the station like you cant breathe outside rapture. turrets etc

    About halfway through this game it dawned on me that although you find dozens of different foodstuffs, the only meat that people on Talos 1 seem to eat is eel.

      Depends on the games. Look at Uncharted 4. It's a blast of a game. Fucking linear and full of cut scenes. It's an interactive movie actually. I think it's great. And I like prey too without cut scenes. All depends on the game and the story you want to tell.

  • @MrRadialdrift
    @MrRadialdrift 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    The first 2/3's of this game are very good, the last 1/3 is garbage. The difficulty is amped up by multiplying the enemies by 10 fold, lazy design and took the game from great to average for me.

    • @EvilTim1911
      @EvilTim1911 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    @simonbrandy9662 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Mack, you keep making similarities with Half-Life, suggesting it's the only game of its kind since. It absolutely isn't. From my time with the demo I thought it was much closer in tone and gameplay to BioShock - only nowhere near as good. I think your eagerness to play a game which allows you to experience the story around you and not have your hand held the entire time has perhaps clouded your judgement a tad. Hey, if a game like this does well and leads to more games of a similar ilk, I'm all for it.
    For me personally I wasn't very immersed, I found the melee combat very basic and gunplay nothing to write home about. As for the creature design, it's awful - laughably bad even. It was this aspect alone which didn't allow me to become invested.
    Btw COD WWII doesn't have regenerating health (as you assumed) and will involve Medics instead. Whereas you gave Prey the benefit of the doubt and not COD WWII, you may be pleasantly surprised. Let's hope cut scenes are kept to a minimum and you get to experience it...

    • @WorthABuyreviews
      @WorthABuyreviews  7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I actually liked the aliens, they are different to most game monsters, I learnt that running away is not a good idea, they are so damn fast and hit like a freight train, it's not an easy game imo.

    • @simonbrandy9662
      @simonbrandy9662 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Each to their own Mack, I was reminded of the black smoke monster from LOST. Whilst I liked the 'mimic' capability of the creatures, which helped build some tension, the player having the same ability is too silly for my liking - even for a video game. I do think creature design is very important, perfectly highlighted by the effect of HR Giger's alien. The monsters in Prey look like my 9 year-old daughter drawn them! Actually that's doing her a disservice.
      I found the art style in general to be weak, which is where my comparison with BioShock ends - which had great art.

    • @kevinwilson455
      @kevinwilson455 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The whole game is based around genetic research, the neuromods that you can upgrade with actually increase carry weight, not backpack size. This allows you to lift heavier objects and increases inventory size.
      A mistake on Mack's part. (i only played the demo and know this)

    • @WorthABuyreviews
      @WorthABuyreviews  7 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Yeah but what i meant was that you can actually carry more objects when it's clearly impossible to carry that many objects as you have literally no place to put them. I have a huge backpack due to spending point son it and there is no way I could carry that much, it's nothing to do with strength, I would actually need a cart.
