>NuPrey is so utterly limited that you spend the entire game using the shotgun
Shotgun is shit against flying enemies and technopaths, Q-Beam is way better in those scenarios. I agree that shotgun is OP, but it's not the best gun in every situation. I also like Pistol.
>That's 4 real weapons, which is less than just the standard category in SS2.
Standard weapons in SS2 are: pistol, shotgun, wrench and AR, and AR is basically identical to pistol except it holds more ammo and does 25% more damage.

To be fair to SS2, it has ammo types.
>Space is boring
I think it's fun, actually.
>it's a shit hotel on most floors and vaguely mechanical labs on others
System Shock 2 is a shit space station.
Bioshock is a shit underwater hotel.
Half-Life is shit labs.

etc.

I get that you don't like Prey 2017, that's fine, maybe you're right and it's a bad game. But you're being intentionally reductionist to the point it's not even fun to argue with you.
