>>15390875
Not sure about that, anon. It sold enough to be considered a mild-sucess. Look at WEWUZDISHONORED, that actually got shitcanned by bethesda because the sales were actually terrible.
Consider that the first Dishonored actually got a fair amount of DLC, while the last one had nothing and arguably, was glorified DLC itself.
Prey had that one >>15390891 thing which if you look at it, is actually quite massive for a DLC, so I think they made enough money to keep interest in it.
Not sure how I feel about the game. The story was okayish but the twist ending was kinda shitty, mainly because there's no build up to it, no clues that you're inside a simulation Yeah, there's the voices you hear when you "die", but that could be assumed to be a flashback of sorts if you haven't seen the ending yet.
The side-stories were serviceable, they did the job of incentivizing you to explore, but some like the D&D one should have been one or two funny audiologs. They dragged that thing way too much and stopped being funny.
I actually really liked the enemies. Could use more variety, but it's one of those games were the enemies are genuinely disturbing and pose a serious threat even to a well armed player. They caused panic and anxiety even if you were packing all sorts of weapons, because you knew you had to plan encounters well since two or more fuck ups and you're dead.
This lead to some good moments were encounters start suddendly without giving you time to prepare, great pants-shitting moments.
But it also lead to cheese, because after scouting a room and looking at your gear, you get so massively OP in the second half that it's easier to murderfuck an entire room of enemies. Then there's the recycler grenades, the psy-powers spam and the dificulty is gone.
You can still bump up the difficulty, I think that did an okay-ish job of reigning in how OP I was and keeping the challenge.
There's only one thing I can say it did better than most shooters I played: variety in encounters.
It might seem strange, but I'd say it's on par with Doom in that aspect.
There's rooms with winding, claustrophobic corridors with enemies to chase you, rooms with high obstacles and mimics that can peek-and-hide with the obstacles, vertical combat rooms where you need to constantly go up and down, there's encounters built specifically for stealth and encounters built like proper bosses. There's a couple timed puzzles that were decent and even a nice "shit is chasing you, run motherfucker!" moment.
Maybe I'm jaded by modern shooters, but it was rather refreshing playing something that wasn't "hallway target gallery -> corridor -> hallway target gallery" again.

I always looked at Dishonored as a "Superior Assassins Creed Franchise".
It struck me odd that people keep associating it with Thief because the main point of the game isn't stealing shit: it's murdering people.
Put the original Dishonored next to the original AC, and Dishonored looks great.
But then they're marketing department actually market it as a thieving game with some assassination in it.
Maybe they didn't want to compete directly with AC? I dunno why, but they launched it as a sort of Thief 5: Supernatural Thief and that kinda fucked them over. That plus the fact non-lethal amounts to sleep darts + chocking enemies, drop the other 15 fun toys you have because they're EVIL. The DLC's for it did much better in this regard, but I'm not sure why they bothered: the story only works if Corvo is an happy-stabby psychopath that drives Emily to follow in the "If you can't win, stab'em" mentality.
Can't comment on the 2nd or third since I refuse to play them when they fucked up the Outsider story. That actually pissed me off.

No, it doesn't. Western games have done the "Good ending/bad ending" schtick for so long that it's all people see.
Dishonored had a Chaos ending and an Order Ending. Entirely different. I never felt the game beating over my head how bad I was, what I saw was half the cast getting progressively more afraid of Corvo and the rest straight up terrified from the first level onward.
It made complete sense a Supernatural Masked Assassin would strike fear in his enemies and over time, on his close allies aswell.
Heck, the betrayal by Havelock & company makes a lot of sense that way (on low chaos, it still kinda makes sense but comes out as dickish and not really necessary).
I went to play it and fully expected a darker ending. After pinning hundreds of heads to walls, I got it.
It reminds me of that story "Count of Monte Cristo". The movie was made for a wider audience so it's got that happy-ending. But a lot of people picked up the book after watching it, reached the end and were horrified. How could a story have a "Bad ending" like that?
It's akin to Warhammer, I'd say: there's no Heroes and no Good Guys. There's the Bad guys and the Worse guys.
>devs admitted it as a spiritual successor
That's what I meant: when the marketing started, they showed these little 10 minute videos about "70 different ways to murder 3 guards in 10 seconds". There's no way that was related to Thief, all I saw was AC, but fun. Then for some reason, halfway in the marketing campaign they went full retard with the "Nah, we're totally Thief-like because there's like, coins and things to steal, plus we got that Voice actor you like!". It made no fucking sense.
>falls apart by the second and third game
I gathered as much from youtube videos and watching a friend play a pirate copy. I honestly expected Corvo and Emily to have separate routes so they could explore a lot more of the story from different angles, or at least different powers (I think Corvo has one Emily doesn't and vice-versa but that's it?).
The third one simply screamed: "Look how much we don't get our own game or what was good in it!"
I can defend the first one's story, I'm neutral on the second since it amounted to a butt-load of "nothing", but the third one was pants on head retarded and threw overboard everything I liked in the franchise, which wasn't much to begin with.

Bethesda PR campaign on last year's E3 saying that singleplayer games aren't dead (yet) then they backpedaled and are going to make several multiplayer games, ala Fallout 76, that article I liked had anonymous developers at Arkane saying that the suits decided to go with the flow in multiplayer online bullshit milking microtransaction bullshit, just like they didn't bother to stop Wolfeinstein The New Hammer and Sickle from going too political, for fuck's sake, they focused more on politicizing the entire game than getting content to it, bad enough they had fucking VICE interview the Black Panther nigress voice actor.
And the ending choices are shit, there's no nuisance or small details to change the goddamn endings, I remember they weren't going with the binary bullshit ending as the first one, but hell, they're lazy fucks and the other clique in their studio was too busy making retarded interviews about how great and diverse the game is, and fuck Harvey Smith who didn't see his studio's culture being destroyed with one tribe who wants to make games and the other who wants to pander to their own braindead audience of dipshits who do not buy games, and back to the ending, it's still fucking bullshit, the entire story with "No Heroes and No Villains" is not convincing when the portrayal of Corvo and Emily and their loyalist as lawful good idiots and the Delilah's Coven as degenerate assholes who don't give a damn ruined all notion of that.

That's why I can defend the first one's story (somewhat, there's still some shit I don't like there) but the second one was a failure.
Emily is what happens when you stick an Hero in a "No Heroes and No Villains" story: you fuck things up. There's no actual Vilains for the Hero to triumph over, and the darker "shit's fucked" ending gets sidetracked with "But the heroes won! Yay!". Everything loses value for the sake of having a female hero. Fuck'em.
Hilariously enough, I see the third as attempt to do it in reverse and include an Anti-hero as the lead. Which is why I said Arkane doesn't get why Corvo works and WEWUZ doesn't: Corvo isn't an Anti-Hero. He's a murderous protagonist on a vengeance quest. He doesn't do anything heroic, he just murders his way to victory and then has to deal with the consequences of it. The WEWUZ instead was the archetypal "I'm saving the world because it suits not me, not because I care" and ends up behaving like an Hero (albeit with misguided intentions) doing pretty much the same mistake Emily did in the second.
And second that "Fuck Harvey Smith". After Spore, no studio has an excuse to realize what happens when your team slits like that. You either pick one side and do that, or you try to pander to both and fuck everything up.

Maybe not for the shareholders, but the progressive stack is so deep in some of these tech companies that many employees take advocacy more seriously than their job. Some have managed to change the job position to be about advocacy. Media is absolutely being used for social programming in a very intentional way. These days it seems like commercials are more about the subtext than the product. Corporate power doesn't allow left wing politics to roost in it on accident.
If these people let up pushing it's only because they've recently pushed too hard. The window has still been advanced in their favor. If Doom has some throwaway lines for conservative players, it's just PR, because that's all it takes to win enough Redditors to turn a profit. The next Wolfenstein is still going to be feminist garbage. The Doom movie is still starring a strongk womyn. Guy who talk like still Vavra won't have a place in these studios.

Because it was pretty decent and doesn't really deserve its bad reputation. If the game wasn't called Prey and was released under a different publisher it'd be pretty well liked on here, people would rightfully complain about the fact that it drags on at the end as well as the pitiful weapon variety but overall it'd be appreciated like Dragon's Dogma is. A great unique-feeling game hampered by some notable flaws. I fully believe that it has some of the best enemy variety, level design, and immersive sim systems of anything I've played.
>>15390937
I played it too and feel the same way, it really did feel different from any other game I've played (including all the "shock" games). I had a lot of memorable moments that came about from the excellent level design, enemy variety, and gameplay systems which are all genuinely some of the best I've seen in any game. I didn't mind the ending (and didn't even realize that the DnD thing was a big deal until I came to this thread since I never finished it), my bigger gripe was with how tedious it got in the last hour of the game. At that point I was ignoring combat and stealth in favor of just running past everything because it would take too long to deal with them normally. I also found the game to be too easy, even on nightmare with the hardcore options, no weapons other than the gloo gun, and no typhoid abilities.

I may have been the single person on this board to have played that mess after a good friend repeatedly told me that its a unique sandbox game if you avoid all weapons and rely solely on hacking random devices, which seemed very appealing to me, so I pirated it. Despite how awful it seemed from its surface it genuinely surprised me how it managed to be even shittier than what I expected. The social justice aspect is just as in your face as you'd expect, the gameplay would be trivial even if you couldn't use guns or use offensive hacks or melee because it's a stealth game with wallhax. You can't just not use the wallhax either because the entire hacking system is designed around it. I played it for just over an hour and every single aspect of it was shit, even the driving was awful because every car turns on a dime and accelerates to max speed instantly no matter its size or velocity. The driving camera positions are bad too, the difference in driving between this game and GTA IV (or even Saints Row to an extent) is like comparing the horseback riding in Legend of Zelda games to that of Shadow of the Colossus, but at least good horseback riding is complex and difficult to implement. There is no excuse for this.
The biggest shame is that they had a setup for an excellent game, its even justified in taking place in San Francisco because CentOS is exactly the kind of thing those faggots would ask for. Additionally the internet of things meme is huge over there but the game didn't bother to let you hack random appliances like blenders to use as distractions, probably because the stealth is so trivial that there would be no need.

This. I pirated Prey when it came out and while it's not great, it's not a bad game at all. I know that's not saying much but as far as Shock games go, it's definitely better than Bioshock Infinite at least.
If anything, my biggest complaint is that it's a bit too short, at least for a Shock-style game. When I realized I was approaching the ending, I thought I was still was about halfway or at worst 2/3 through the game, and it gave me that "wait a minute… that's it?" feeling.
Considering it's CY +3 and standards must be lowered, I'd say it's the best AAA title that came out since nuDoom. But I really wish it had been given a different name, or at least the publisher should have made clear from the start that the game has no connection at all to classic Prey, it only shares the name.

Mechanically using the powers that you get is fun as hell. There is good amount of interactivity with the world and they've put enough number of ways to complete objectives or reach some secret areas. The gunplay could have been a better but scrounging levels up to collect materials for recycling really tickled my autism. I can barely remember anything of the plot or the characters but I feel that it's the best System Shock like game we could have gotten in CY+2.
