i had my brother read this thread and now he wants to play the game. don't know what is funnier, actually picturing people discussing door-ginas and roid-abusing spider aliens with big tits while keeping a straight face, or someone semi-angrily and seriously replying something like "NO WAY MAN, you're over exaggerating, I DOUBLE CHECKED"
i agree nothing about the game was groundbreaking, it just has a ton of small things that add up to "average" heh. I think they copped out and just didn't even bother to RE-develop it after the hiatus, but what do I know. I loved playing it for the fact that the atmosphere was good, the sound and voiceovers were awesome(ok minus Tommy's overly enthusiastic F-bombs), story was good(as good as a you vs. aliens story can get), and a few key scenes. Like "the fight" before the end boss of course, you know which one, that was shocking and semi-depressing. and the whole beginning 10-15 minutes or so.
i like to compare Prey and Far Cry for some reason because they were so popular yet so over rated ignoring pretty major things. Both very generic stories, Far Cry presentation was so terrible, every single thing, especially dialogue, I wanted to play it on mute. But the depth of gameplay was better, and environment huge. The weapons weren't lame, and the enemy AI wasn't exactly retarded(sometimes just inhuman, x-ray vision, sniper rifle accuracy with rockets). Prey was exactly the extreme opposite in all of that. Kinda frustrating how no games ever have a balance anymore and we still pay for them encouraging more *beep*
