[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 26 points 1 year ago (9 children) Isn't Prey (2017) well liked? permalink fedilink source hideshow 9 child comments replies: [–] denial@feddit.org 30 points 1 year ago (8 children) Yes. Prey (2017) is a really good game. Worst thing about it is that the studio forced this stupid name choice. On the other hand I would guess the old one has aged badly. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] pipariturbiini@sopuli.xyz 17 points 1 year ago (2 children) The publisher for Prey (2017) also bullied an indie developer to change the name of their upcoming game "Prey for the Gods" around the time Prey (2017) was coming out. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Lyra_Lycan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 year ago* (1 child) Is that why it's called Præy for the Gods?! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] pipariturbiini@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 year ago Correct.

Story, tone and gameplay are just totally different from the new one. So someone coming from the new one trying out the old will be disappointed. Same reason why the new one was criticised on release. I really wish we could get some of the responsible people to explain their reasoning. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 6 points 1 year ago (2 children) That's what I thought. I bought it recently on a GOG sale but haven't played it yet. But all I hear about Prey (2017) is people raving about how great it is. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] MaggiWuerze@feddit.org 5 points 1 year ago (1 child) I know I bounced from it back when it came out because I expected a continuation of the previous Prey. Maybe I'll have to have another look permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] EveningPancakes@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 year ago* If you enjoyed Bioshock, it's essentially Bioshock in space. Well...wayyyy more 'space' than System Shock, considering the gravity mechanics that Prey uses. permalink fedilink source parent
