Completely missing the point, especially splitting hairs to make up excuses for doing so, has always proven to be rather troubling to me.

jAkUp · 07-02-2006, 06:37 PM

Have you ever considered the possiblity that you might find out later in the game the reasons for the portals and gravity switching?

Sure it doesn't make much sense now, but maybe later in the game you will find out why.

Its pretty retarded IMO to toss out the game if you don't even understand the whole story yet.

Constructive criticism is a good thing. If he were simply pointing out genuine problems (instead of showing how anal-retentive some gamers have become) I'm sure it would've been more well-received.

You're still here? Either you're trolling, or you're looking for some answer. If you didn't like the game, don't plan to buy it, why do you still come here? Certainly, the forums would be more cheerful for you in the games that you like.

The reason I posted here is the same reason everyone posts here. To give their opinion on Prey. The main difference is that the majority here like Prey while I did not.

If 3D only wanted positive opinions posted on their forum, then they should have made that a part of the rules.

I didn't come here, say "Prey sucks" and disappear. That would be trolling.

I didn't post personal insults against anyone who disagreed with me. That would make me one of those sorry bedwetters of fandom.

I gave reasons as to why I believed what I beleive. You may accept them or reject them. Certainly there is room for debate as all opinion is subjective.

It's all just opinion. Mine, yours, everyone elses. If 3D is reading these forums, they want to read my negative opinion just as much as they want to read your positive one. If you don't beleive me, ask them yourself. No company ever just wants to hear "Yes, it was wonderful, blah blah blah". They also want to hear from those who didn't like it. People do a powerful disservice to their favourite company by disuading others from talking about their dislikes.

The dislikes are fine, like I already said. But what about when other people want to discuss those dislikes rather than just say "WTF You idiot"

Thats why the whole sphere/portal/science thing came up because the portals are an actually good idea for ANYBODY who wants to go from point A to point B without wasting much time. Also why do you believe the human brain consists with the alien brain, and that our laws of physics are the same thing in space?

07-02-2006, 07:38 PM

hello, i am new here and have no idea what else to say, the Prey demo surprised me and i have much fun with demo and i'm going to buy the full game if it comes out here in germany. and i wonder why people don't like it, but okay. and i'm going to buy DNF.
and sorry for my spelling and bad english.

CrimsonHead · 07-02-2006, 07:47 PM

The biggest thing that has always annoyed me on msg boards is how when a new game comes out every average gamer thinks that they are some kind of game reviewer. Forums get filled with posts titled "My review of xxx game", and 90% of the time they are negative, because the ones who do love the game are silent, content, happily playing. What really bothers me though is how instead of moving on to whatever game they do like, they hang around for what seems like small eternities sometimes trying to convince everyone else that they should'nt like the game either. The real annoying thing is it's like "who cares?, who the *&^&% are you anyway?", some of these people seem to think that they are the actual authority on what does and does'nt suck.

What if you went to McDonalds to get a Big Mac, you sit down to enjoy your food and all of the sudden some clown comes and sits down down right across from you and starts ranting for an hour about how much he hates Big Macs? He could sit there and babble on about how much the sauce sucked, or how he did'nt like the patties, or the way it looks even. Would'nt that be so damn annoying, I imagine most people would want to just punch him in the face so they could get on with there lives and enjoy their meal like they had planned to do. What is wrong with people nowadays that they just have to piss on everyone elses parades?

It's really not useful to any of the fans, it just clutters up forum space. Believe me it will get worse around the games release, the haters will seep out of the woodworks with nitpicks and comparisons, no one can like a game for what it is anymore.

Telling people their dislikes are crucial to the developers' insight about what all fans really want. (Ofcourse all fans differ like anything else.)

CrimsonHead · 07-02-2006, 09:58 PM

Exactly, and what if something they dislike is something that I love? And even worse, what if the developers actually do listen to them? No, I have to stop them before they poison my game. Sorry I'm a selfish jerkwad I know, but it's hard when you care about something.

Interesting comment about the enemies. I dont like FPS's that throw tons of enemies at you say like Serious Sam or those ant things from HL2. I much prefer a small number of smarter, harder enemies. I like the enemy count of this game.

I like smart enemies, too. But I admit to loving the hordes of enemies that, say Starship Troopers threw at you. Yes, they were as intelligent as bacon, but I had fun.

I was curious as to how Prey would adapt to a person's playing ability. Demo didn't run long enough for that to kick in, unfortunately.

Wasn't Half-Life supposed to do that, too, or is that just a false memory of mine?

To give my opinion again it's a bloody art form; would you take down one of Pablo Picasso painting's because they were simply illogical (“No” in my own opnion). This is why film's like Alien 3 get messed up from the wooden planet idea (Vincent Wards orignal creation) to that one that exists today (because of logical Fox producers minds).

The adaptable difficulty was disabled for the demo. Also, stop signing your posts and use the sig option in the user control panel. Because it really sucks to always have to remove a person's sig when quoting :P

marty56 · 07-03-2006, 06:19 AM

Perhaps Prey will have a balance of hordes vs single/small number of enemies on different levels. Will see when the game comes out.

Jigen · 07-03-2006, 06:49 AM

Well, you've got some interesting opinions Lighthope, and you've got every right to share them here on the boards. But coming from a lifelong Doctor Who fan, I'm finding your reasons behind disliking the demo a bit unimaginative. It won't do anybody any good looking for logic in an illogical place like the Sphere. And the gravity flipping, portals and wallwalking are what they are; gameplay elements, meant to make the gamer go "ooohhh" and "aaahhh".

How you fit them into the narrative is only limited by your perception and imagination (even more limited by a Vulcan mentality).

Still, no offense. It seems the game is not everyone's cup of tea, and that's cool. Just giving you my opinion of your opinion.

Well, if they had said that the sphere was in another dimension or something like that, then it would be acceptable that different laws would apply to them. But since it appears that the sphere operates in our universe, then it should have been built with those laws in mind.

I dont think you've read enough on this game to really understand it. The sphere, itself, is it's own little universe. Everything that operates inside of the sphere, is done for a reason (not just gameplay wise) because the alien creatures don't see things the same way us humans do. I'm pretty sure that when it comes to laws of physics, earth is the ONLY place you really (think you) know about (unless you're a rocket scientist and just so have happend to study other planets atmospheres by actually being there

if not then youre just trying to nitpick) so I really don't know what you are trying to get it.

I hope you really aren't a fan of Doctor Who or other shows like Star Trek, or movies like Star Wars. Because illogical happenings are the norm for those but their fans don't seem to even notice or acknowledge it as "Unrealistic! I dont like it!"

My belief has always been that people should be entitled to their own unique perception, and that games can be so much more than their narrowly defined sense.

Mountain Man shares some of my opinions, however for him, if something doesn't add to the gameplay, it isn't important. I on the other hand, see gameplay as merely a tool in delivering a type of experience - what's important is what the world means to the player, the emotional significance of the events that occur, whether those are gameplay generated events or story generated events.

And how do you define a genuine problem?

The problem is genuine for him, in relation to his playing experience. He can't become immersed in a game world, because it doesn't make sense to him, and because of this his enjoyment is effected.

If you're saying he should be to enjoy any game irrespective of the story behind it, then you're just favouring your perception over his. I imagine you see games purely in terms of the gameplay mechanics, while he sees them as experiences, as worlds in their own right.

At the end of the day though, who is to say what games should be? What right do you have to decide that your perception as the only acceptable one? From your perspective Lighthope is "anal-retentive", from his perspective he simply cares about things that you don't.

Physical laws merely dictate what is possible, and logic in this sense needs a context. You're assuming that the alien mind needed to design a room that made as efficient use of space as possible, and from that assumption, concluding that its final design was illogical. And you'd be right, but only if that was what the alien mind indeed intended.

Logic merely provides the reasoning necessary to achieve a goal; it doesn't dictate that goal. So perhaps the alien mind designed its ship precisely to confuse people, perhaps the confused layout is a reflection of its mental state. Imagine the ship as a sentient being, imagine it has a sense of humour, imagine that is perverse. Does simple logic now seem enough to come to a complete understanding of it?

the fact is at some point you see that your probably in a structure that is in the center of the said sphere, wich kinda makes it a "no gravity" space.... kinda... wich could explain the use of gravity switch...

now, take a look at your ceiling... kinda empty aint it? how sad all this spare space lost... well those aliens sorted this problem out by making use of all surfaces on a room, then no space is lost...

I like how I said the ship is an organic construct and no one seemed to notice. It's not exactly "designed" but rather, the things like walking paths and portals are designed around the fact that shit is just plain going to be weird, and you'll need to make the best of it. I posted a bunch of info about this right on the first page. Thanks for ignoring it folks.

necrophilissimo · 07-04-2006, 02:32 AM

Everyone can share their opinions, even if they are negative, as long as you can point out why it's so; Lightpope did exactly that. For reasons I posted elsewhere I haven't been able to play Prey just yet, so I can't say do I agree or disagree, but I can say I've been there, Lightpope; Imagine how hard it is to dislike Half-Life 2 in this world, no matter how precise arguments you have

[Before you ask; For me HL2 was obsolete design; It was copy-paste of original HL in every way. True, the physics were nice, but as the player character was still the same scenery-hoovering camera with gun taped to it they really didn't aid immersion. And the overscripted AI was still there, seeming truly dated after witnessing dynamic AI of HALOs. In the end it was just rehash. Personally I liked Doom3 a much better sequel, as at least it tried to add something new to it, not just duplicate everything decade old. Hehe, now you forum fiends can hang two of us

@necrophilissimo (ever thought about another forum nick? this one has a kind of dead feeling too it

I agree on the HL2 remarks. That game just didn't live up to the original (IMO). But the same goes for Doom3.

But back on topic: I played demo. Just loved it!

How you fit them into the narrative is only limited by your perception and imagination (even more limited by a Vulcan mentality). Still, no offense. It seems the game is not everyone's cup of tea, and that's cool. Just giving you my opinion of your opinion. -oh- Pearl of Wisdom - "stop signing your posts and use the sig option in the user control panel.

Yatta	Re: Played demo. Didn't like it If you want DNF to come out, you better buy this game if you like it or not. The royalties are a profit to continue funding DNF. __________________ Visit Duke4.net - The largest Duke Nukem fan community on the net!

Mblackwell	Re: Played demo. Didn't like it I like how I said the ship is an organic construct and no one seemed to notice. It's not exactly "designed" but rather, the things like walking paths and portals are designed around the fact that shit is just plain going to be weird, and you'll need to make the best of it. I posted a bunch of info about this right on the first page. Thanks for ignoring it folks. __________________ I don't wanna be like other people are Don't wanna own a key, don't wanna wash my car Don't wanna have to work like other people do I want it to be free, I want it to be true Eduke32.com : The Rejected Applications : The Meadhall of the Comitatus

necrophilissimo	Re: Played demo. Didn't like it Everyone can share their opinions, even if they are negative, as long as you can point out why it's so; Lightpope did exactly that. For reasons I posted elsewhere I haven't been able to play Prey just yet, so I can't say do I agree or disagree, but I can say I've been there, Lightpope; Imagine how hard it is to dislike Half-Life 2 in this world, no matter how precise arguments you have [Before you ask; For me HL2 was obsolete design; It was copy-paste of original HL in every way. True, the physics were nice, but as the player character was still the same scenery-hoovering camera with gun taped to it they really didn't aid immersion. And the overscripted AI was still there, seeming truly dated after witnessing dynamic AI of HALOs. In the end it was just rehash. Personally I liked Doom3 a much better sequel, as at least it tried to add something new to it, not just duplicate everything decade old. Hehe, now you forum fiends can hang two of us ] __________________ ____________ necrophilissimo :: www.tagap.net

CameO73	Re: Played demo. Didn't like it @necrophilissimo (ever thought about another forum nick? this one has a kind of dead feeling too it ) I agree on the HL2 remarks. That game just didn't live up to the original (IMO). But the same goes for Doom3. But back on topic: I played demo. Just loved it!
