Am I the only one here whose absolute favorite game is this? If not is it at least in your top 5?
It's good but Thief 1/2 and Deus ex are just the better games System shock 2 doesn't have the genius level design of those games
>>12499024I found Deus Ex to have really unremarkable and weak level design. Its just too open and empty. SS2 is much more claustrophobic but way more interesting level wise. I haven't played DX past the part where you're imprisoned though.
>>12499023It's got to be up there. This dirty jew was on a roll back in the day
>>12499023I played both and I think the first is the better game honestly. The ending of 2 is so shit, the weapon durability is ass, and the skill system seems kinda lazy. Respawning enemies kinda shitty tooGame feels short and rushed. It's not a bad game but it feels like it didnt reach its full potential
I think the RPG elements of SS2 suck a little too much to call it one of the best games ever.Also, Command Deck, the Rickenbacker, Body of the Many and Where Am I? are also far worse than Med/Sci through Recreation.
>>12499023I wish there were more games as immersive as System Shock 2. This one was that kind of game that got me so hooked I was seeing cyberspace hell techno in my dreams
>>12499026I always thought Deus Ex was overrated (still good) but he's right about Thief 1 and 2.
>>12499558I don't think you're appreciating the WOW factor, or how those levels vary up the gameplay.Having been a while I remember in Rickenbacker going through an inverted chapel where the cieling was the floor and vice versa. The Body of the Many felt like I was inside a living organism. Both of these made it feel like it was not more of the same.
>>12499724Nah, they're ass to play
>>12499738All of Rickenbacker was really fun except for the retarded egg hunt.
>>12499724>the WOW factorGlad you mentioned that. Game has tons of mind blowing moments.
>>12499023are the puzzles as hard as in 1?
>>12499759I never had trouble finding all the eggs for some reason but finding the code numbers in the paintings kept me running around in circles for a while.
>>12499876They are all pretty straightforward except for the paintings in Recreation. But that's only because they do a horrendous job at explaining what to do.>>12499882I always read up on their locations when replaying Rec:First cybernetic upgrade unitPool tablesShopping mall upper floorCrew quarters in annelid infested room right next to locked room
>>12499026>this im-sim is just... too open!>ahh the linear corridors of citadel station! perfect!you can say the same thing about thief. I think you have different taste and that's fine but you're still wrong
>>12499023It's a poor man's Deus ex
>>12499023dead space stations are just not as interesting as places that are alive and interactive (deus ex / ultima underworld). I would love a retro style System Shock 1 style game on Earth as the hacker dude. All those weird menus and interactivity in a living place would be fun to explore.
>>12499026>I haven't played DX past the part where you're imprisoned though.You literally stopped where the game started picking up the pace.
>>12499023It was way too spooky for me
>>12500898I'll give you that. The game is creepy as absolute hell. Only scarier games I played are Condemned and Silent Hill 4.
>>12500898>game starts out a bit slower and spookier despite the techno music>mfw after getting some upgrades to move faster and shoot better, acquiring heavier weapons, armor
