This is my favorite game that I hate actually playing.
The story is fascinating, I love the game's look, despite it being a series of mazes I never get lost because it's so good at making every hallway distinct, I love how you get lots of variety of weapons even to the point that some of the weapons are just flat-out bad and you'd never use them if you had half a brain, the music and sound design is great....when it isn't actively trying to rape my ears, Shodan is an amazing antagonist and I even like how all of this happened because a shitty little middle-manager decided to cover up his lower level crimes.
I love everything about this game except actually playing it.

...Why?
What's wrong with playing it? The controls? Those have been fully modernized for years at this point.

It's a zoomer thing. They want to latch onto something as part of their "identity" but don't actually engage with the thing itself because they're so mindraped by being raised on ADHD dopamine screentime heroin. They just want to be part of something, something uncommon that makes them feel like an individual, because all they've ever known is mass consumption and mindlessly bombarding their brain with constant, low effort stimulus to avoid ever being left alone with their thoughts. To avoid ever dwelling on just how shit modern life is.

Well first off if you're playing the EE then you're not actually playing System Shock as it came out in 1994, that's like saying GZDoom with jumping and true vertical mouselook enabled is how Doom 1/2 is meant to be played. The controls fought you significantly more in '94.
And the reason I don't like it is I'm ultimately not a fan of 1st person dungeon crawler games like UU. People call SS1 an Immersive Sim, it's not, it's just a dungeon crawler, it has none of the actual hallmarks of ImSim which encourage creativity in solutions.

I'm 39, also as >>12681692 said you're actually describing millenials who were early internet adopters a lot better than you are zoomers since we were the ADHD generation, not them. They're the autism generation.

Oh and also I think the cyberspace sequences are complete and total ass. But is that even a hot take, I feel like even people who fellate SS1 like they're a cheap whore will admit the cyberspace sequences are bad outside of "ooh look how devs in '94 thought the inside of computers would look in the future". Even by the standard the rest of SS1 sets, cyberspace controls bad.
