~heavy object blocking your way~

~proceed to carry lighter objects and just push them into the heavier stuff to knock it out of the way"

Why are there so many abilities and so few neuromods this is ridiculous.

Go back to the first area and get into Fabrication. You'll find something there that'll help.
The world building in this game is superb. I want more in this universe. I don't know if i should put all the praise at Chris Avellone's feet, but they really hit the mark on this front at least.
I have a really good idea of how the vibe of the station was before the start of the game. Which I think is something that was lacking in the original bioshock. A lot of the side characters actually seem like complex characters and not just slotted into archetypes.
Verdict is still out on the overall story being told in this world, but there's enough questions still pulling me forward at 12 hours played.

Thanks. I just got into Psychotronics and the going is getting rough. Could use an ability or two.

Hey, where did you find the keycard for Psychotronics? I need to get in there for an objective. I got into the first room with the safe, but I need a keycard to get in further.

You need to progress a little further in the story.

Kind of feel the idea is that you have to plan your build and not just unlock whatever you want

Not if you can get your hands on enough materials you don't!
Yeah it sucks, but I am not messing with any of the Psi abilities. I am just going for full first 3 skill trees if possible. Sucks because I want the one to transform into objects myself to get into rooms.
Was able to dive into this tonight, put in a solid couple hours.
Quite impressed by the general feel of the world. I never had the pleasure of playing System Shock, but the comments suggesting this picks up the best of BioShock were right on. Not exactly sure how to describe the way that BioShock's general atmosphere made me feel, but Prey is the first time since where I've had that feeling.
Perhaps I'm just a struggler, but I also find the combat early on to be pretty challenging. Maybe just diving in too quickly and trying to be too aggressive.
Regardless, very impressed at first blush and excited to get deeper into the narrative and world in the next week or so.

That's what I'm trying to do. I'm kind of lost. I got to Morgan's office and did that bit, then I did a lot of exploration in the Lobby, Trauma, and the Machine Shop. Now I don't really know what to do as most things I want to get into require keycards

Had my first crash today. Seeing some more minor dips as well, but still intermittent.
I've probably played 4 hours or so (not counting countless deaths in the
. Absolutely loving the design and world. Combat is ok, but something feels off. I don't think it's necessarily the input lag some mention, as I'm not sending any delays. Seems more on how fast enemies come at you and the AOE stuff.
One thing I have particularly enjoyed is that the exploration aspect can lead the player to areas they aren't quite ready for early on, such as the

Yo Gaf,
How big is the additional install download with the disc version? I've gone full digital this gen, but the near 40AUD price difference is too big to ignore.
Cheers.

Definitely, but I'm finding I situationally need to unlock things just to survive at this point. Hoping to gather more Neuromods because I basically know what skills I want to go for.
Edit: Freezasaurus, sorry I have no idea where I picked the card up. I imagine there's a waypoint if it's required for a mission?
Honestly I don't think they went far enough. PC is way too diversely strong at the beginning of the game imo, they should have started you at a "lower level" so to speak and let you level into more strangely unique builds.
Also, I've never liked the Bioshock style tonic rpg system vs a traditional stat screen. There's nothing more frustrating than in say Bioshock 2 to have the most powerful melee perk always be at the same spot every single time no matter what you do. Let me do my own builds, damn it! If I want to level into a melee monster by the 3rd level and be shit at guns that's my business. I understand devs are terrified of players screwing up builds (even dark souls packs stats in a way that makes it almost impossible to screw a build up), but rig building just has never felt as good without a real stat screen.

That's true only very early on.
Later, you get the fabrication plans for neuromods, and you can scavenge to fabricate lots of neuromods which is necessary if you want to use psi abilities.

So there's no PS4 Pro support and the input lag still seems to be there on PS4?
I'll wait for a patch.

I still think SS2's hacking is the best of class. Simple, elegant, and extremely fast. As well it had to be because it all happened in real time.
Bioshock 2 is a close second, but I feel it loses points for being /too/ simple. Still though as to pipe dream I think it goes without saying that despite me thinking I'd never be praising what amounts to a QTE replacing game mechanics...yeah pipe dream was that bad.

In all honesty, I think that surprised me most about this game is the scale. Nothing really feels like wasted space, yet there's a ton of places to be.

Does combat get more enjoyable as you get more abilities? That's been my one complaint with the game so far (especially coming from Dishonored, which had excellent combat).
You can go all Corvo by stacking alien powers, but even without them you get quite powerful as weapon damage goes up through perks and upgrade kits.
You can also use the recycler charge.
Oh wow... The Recycler Charge will recycle any boxes blocking a door?

Yoooooo what!! I have so much to go back to explore!! Man this game!!
Compare firepower values, why fancy gun has worse stats?
Probably scales higher on different stats. Or it's a joke weapon. Considering it is a "trophy pistol" it wouldn't shock me if that was the case.
idk about other platforms, but it was a shotgun on PC

Is there a consensus on playthrough when doing everything vs just story? How plentiful are sidequests?

This game just continues to impress me.
Psychotronics area spoilers:
This blew my mind, is it something they're regularly capable of doing?
Psychotronics area spoilers:
There is an area in Psychotronics featuring a mimic in isolation and three buttons that will trigger doors to reveal objects to be shown to the mimic and it will mimic what is shown to them. You can go around to the other side and place different objects in the boxes and the mimic will copy them.
So what I did was cleared out the box, pushed the button and then quickly ran around and crawled into the window area to be shown to the mimic, and sure enough, the mimic copied Morgan:http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/StunWar/video/30718865

I havent found any major use for the mimic ability. Did it a couple times and it was funny but not sure it has a real use.

I went into this game blind and the intro is amazing, glad I picked this game up.
It lets you go small and fit into holes to access a variety of places, including getting through the broken shredded doors. With the last upgrade you can turn into an operator and fly or become a turret.
That's awesome and hilarious. Regularly, no. Capable? I'm guessing at some point yeah.

Becoming a turret to mow down Typhon was a pretty legitimate use for me.

No, I'd almost assume it was a programming oversight with the mimic coded to morph into whatever 3d model appeared in there.

- Stealth/hide in plain sight
- Get through small places
- Synergy with other abilities
- Upgraded versions let you control more advanced items
- Pass through flames and other hazards unharmed
You can use it to get into small vents/gaps and such.

I can't find Kasper at all. I got "exterior power station grid." I tried the bit above the Cargo Bay even though it's not the right place and that location was covered up.
