"yet another rehash"? Beats me.
I got it !
( Why you think Prey is the "bee's knees", at least since Quake 4,
Q4 was a lot of fun. And also disproved a lot of fanboy drivel from the
likes of my "mate" *******o that Q4 couldnt do areas bigger than a gnats
chuff.
Post by John Lewiswhich afair you were also raving about. After raving about HL2 of
HL2 was awesome. Won a lot of awards too as I recall. Not too
complicated but refreshingly fast and fun. Highly innovative online
delivery system too : called "Mist" or something - you should try it -
means you dont get tied to some crappy scratchable master CD or revert
to virus ridden no-cd hacks.
Post by John Lewiscourse. Can't remember whether you raved about FEAR. You
remind me of a butterfly....)
FEAR bored the hole off me and, like Far Cry, I didnt finish it. At
least Far Cry had some novel elements. FEAR was a one trick pony with
the most boring game corridoors for a long time. Ditto for Riddick which
I recall you wetting your panties about fpr a while (probably until you
played it and realised it was a totally linear snorefest).
Post by John LewisSimple puzzles in a FPS are a novelty to you.
Not really : but Prey does them well. The grav boots and windwalking add
a nice variation. But then I dont play FPS to be unduly challenged : but
since I have the IQ of Einsteins smarter brother Eddie, puzzles are a
mere blip on my gaming radar.
Post by John LewisHopefully the puzzles later in the full game are a little more
challenging. The only real puzzle in the demo seemed to be the
platform one. Otherwise they were of the variety "Shoot at something
or blow something up which you first might need to move."
I admit that the out-of-body ideas are good and very nicely integrated
into the game, And the clever revival element is a worthy addition. I
wonder if the revival element is curtailed in the full game at the
highest difficulty settings ?
We'll have to wait & see : interestingly, more than the platform one has
had a few posters perplexed :-; (And I must admit to taking a little
while to figure out that one too ...).
