I really have to pick this up. For $12 for the deluxe version DRM free? This was one of my favorites the year it launched. Definitely rebuying.

The original had a lot of unique ideas but never utilized them to the fullest. The portals and antigravity paths were very interesting and I wish them had been a bigger part of the game, instead of merely a path from A to B.

It's all about execution then the ideas themselves

I'm only waiting for that . Not intterested in this release .

it's interesting that this release has seemingly generated much more chatter than Metro Exo did, despite being released on the same day and Metro having almost 4000 more votes than Prey 2017. (I assume there's little correlation between wishlist votes and stuff to talk about unless it's a major deal like Diablo or Blade Runner)

Is there something about Prey 2017 that has more to talk about, compared to Metro Ex?

It's cheaper, for one. Though that matters little as anyone who has the money to buy the latter likely has enough to buy both. But on the whole I would think most people would wait until Metro lowers in price a bit more before they spring for it.

I'm sure I'm overlooking the "like I'd buy any game that used Epic to treat gamers like scum" crowd that will audibly hold a grudge all the way to their grave (and those among mentioned crowd that will bark and then buy it in silence anyway).

I definitely want to own Metro Exodus, but it'll likely be for the Complete Edition; and when it gets cheaper.

I probably would've bought it already - but I already played the base-game in the Xbox for PC Game Pass...and namely just need to play the Season Pass content. So, I'll be looking to buy Metro Exodus to own the whole thing and mostly play what's missing here (Season Pass).

Metro Exodus base-game was great, which seems like it's somewhere be a linear Metro games (somewhat - as it's still very strong narrative and character-wise, but it's not as linear as Metro 2033 and Metro LL) and an open-world STALKER series game (not entirely open-world, more open-map type of approach with very few side quests). More of a somewhat semi-open world mix b/t Metro games and STALKER games, more or less.

Prey 2017 is awesome from Arkane and right now cheaper, which comes off w/ tons of those "immersive sim" RPG/action genre-benders from Looking Glass, Ion Storm and Arkane - namely stuff from System Shock series, Thief series, Dishonored series, and of course some twists of their own here thrown in too.

In a enclosed elevator that takes you to an ENCLOSED ROOM I doubt it!

Well then as I said: People need to git gud ;)

Joke reply aside, getting more skilled/getting more weapons in game/lowering the difficulty/etc can often help one bypass a tricky part.

*spoiler*

(One can get more skilled more easily by getting the neuromod crafting plans in one of the locked off starting areas[once they can gain access to that area] and also the one skill which allows collection of neuromod building material)

*end spoiler*

I guess that'd have an effect, people seeing the nice discount + people considering it an underrated gem, and excitedly talking about it here or something.

I didn't know that. I'll have to look out for it next playthrough.

It seems they might've added various references to the prior game and other older media(games and such).....if I find more I will list them(with spoiler tags of course).

*semi spoiler*

Also some areas change(bodies or new items show up) after you get some quests or some events happen**, and the announcements and such change as time goes on(dunno if that second thing is based on one's system time/date or just a cycle in the game, though, as I haven't been paying that much attention to that aspect's inner workings).

*Spoiler*

(**=Like a stun gun showing up in the upper floors of the starting area after you reach the main goal in the main lobby, [which can power up unpowered items like terminals and such, I think])

*end semi-spoiler + spoiler*

Rager, I've got a load of games I haven't even played and here you are convincing me to replay this one. It's working though. It's a real masterpiece. Hopefully there'll be a Prey 2. Maybe they'll even release it this time.

Why play pesky new games when old games are comforting and familiar? ;D


I see what you did there. ;)

Are we getting Mooncrash?

EDIT: NVM I see I have it.
