Poll Prey or Dishonored 2? which arkane game is better? (47 votes)

Prey 38%
Dishonored 2 62%

Hello,

So my dear friends, arkane released 2 games this generation. and they are very similar to each other. but which one you think is better?

For me its easily Prey. I recently tried dishonored 2. and i have to say its ok game but run like shit. where as Prey runs like a butter.

Prey imo did everything better than dishonored 2. better story, better level design, better gameplay, more challenging, etc.

however dishonored 2 also have great level design and corvo voiced by stephen russel is what i really enjoy.

so my dear friends, which arkane game you enjoy most?

discuss

I haven't voted yet because I haven't played Prey but I really liked Dishonored 2 and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a new immersive sim to play.

I think Dishonored has more gameplay variety and a more interesting world and better level design

Dishonoured 2 is by far the best game regarding level design and mechanics, Imo. But I still go with Prey because I'm a sci-fi freak and not often we have such a strong release in the genre.

Prey is one of the best games I have ever played. It's immersive as **** and gives you so much freedom. It has a sense of mystery and you are just thrown into the world (space station) to uncover the mysteries.

I haven't played either. But even without playing them I've decided they look generic and boring and in no way innovative.

They're both good games but I liked Prey more - probably because of the setting.

Prey was the better of the two and I absolutely loved Dishonored. But, if Sci fi is not your thing Dishonored wins by default.

DH2, better atmosphere and more interesting setting and gameplay imo.

still dug Prey though and agree it had a better storyline (though that isn't really the focus of either)

The level design is absolutely amazing in Dishonored (2)

It doesn't feel like you are walking through game levels, it feels like places that actually exist.

Hmmm in some ways Dishonored 1 is better.

I especially liked how the story of revenge is told in Dishonored 1

If you take your revenge to the fullest, you become a jerk of a character in this game and people resent you for it.

if you take your revenge more thoughtfully... only punish those that deserve it... than you are a better person for it.

It's a kind of experience that no book or movie or TV show has ever given me. It was a wonderful story and I loved how it brought forth this 'choice for revenge'

_____________

Dishonored 2 is different in that it has all these modifiers for you at the end, like this character is affected that way... I found that to be less meaningful.

When it comes to gameplay and enemy design, combat variety, stealth options, enemy variety... in all those aspects Dishonored 2 has the first one beat.

This enemy is one of the most fun enemies I've ever encountered in a (stealth) game.

I dunno but I've seen lots of people complain about the enemies in Prey, eventhough i'm very excited to play that game... I'm excited about Death of The Outsider even more ^^

The same applied to Doom2016 when playing on Nightmare. With a controller, it was a real trololol.

Dishonored 2 no question. Prey looked boring as shit in all the game-play vids I watched (I never understood the infatuation with the first one TBH). I already am not a big fan of open-world games and combined with all the enemies looking the same and the narrative being crap I couldn't drum up any interest. On the other hand I bought Dishonored 1 on a whim on a Steam sale a couple years ago fully expecting to be bored within a few hours, turns out I ended up being super impressed. Dishonored 2 surpassed it in every way IMO. Can't wait to play the new expansion.

Prey is just like Bioshock with more rpg elements and not as good of a story. How is this bad? Ya'll are drunk.

Disclaimer: my only purpose is trying to sell more copies of Prey. I have yet to play Dishonored 2.

Prey is the far superior game and better buy for the money.

The entire Dishonored franchise can be played without killing a single soul, how is that more action than stealth ?

I felt like Dishonored 2 was the better overall game, but I really dug Prey as a spiritual successor to System Shock, which is a setting I prefer overall versus fantasy/steampunk. My only gripe about Prey was the ending was a bit dissatisfying, but up until that point I had a blast with it. Also, it could use a New Game Plus mode, which I immediately started on with Dishonored 2 when I beat it (no kills on the first play through, BTW).

This is getting really stupid now, I'd rather have conversations with people that put some, even the tinniest bit of effort in their trolling.

Yup, for realz this looks crap.

I never said dishonored 2 gameplay is crap but its worse than original in every way and its horribly optimize game. graphics are mediocre. just look at character models.

Arkanes did much better job in Prey. if you like dishonored. you will like Prey. except its much better game.

No, it's just your buzz word to call everything and every game crap.

It's such a weak argument, because it saves you from going in depth on anything.
