System Shock 2

Postby MrMeow » Fri Jul 20, 2012 8:08 am

System Shock 2 is a very well done game especially for it's time. Made in 1999 I believe. I could spend a couple of hours explaining it but the pictures speak for themselves.

Image
The cover, Yes I know. It's already oozing with awesomeness.

Image
One of the many tasty enemies you will encounter.

Image
Your inventory, As you can see there are robotic enemies.

Recommended RAM is only 32MBs.
It has trouble if you use a dual core processor, Atleast from what I hear.

What I recommend
- System Shock 2
- Weapon Replacements.
- Bug fixes.
- Better models.
- Better textures.
- Patches and get's the game ready for mods.
- Mod manager.
- Crosshairs.
- Better Psi Amp.

If using ADoaB don't get Tacticool pistol, Get the one that says it's ADoaB compatible.
It's very important that you activate the mods as such
- SHTUP
- Rebirth
- ADaoB
- Tacticool weapons.

If you do not some wierd stuff will happen. Trust me, It happened to me.

Tips
- You will do bad on your first playthrough, It's still fun nevertheless.
- Energy is weaker than Standard but degrades slower and you don't need to look for ammo just recharge stations.
- Loot EVERYTHING.
- Use Melee early in the game.
- Hack is very helpful but not necessary. ( you will need 3 hack or an ICE pick to continue later in-game. )
- Use strategy and stealth.
- Save your Hypos until you really need them, Use food for healing early on.
- You can't fix weapons until you get a point in maintenance.
- Higher maintenance gives you more battery life for your energy weapons.

If you have any problems running it go Here.

My Rating: 9/10.

What is your input?

Alright, If you want more maps you can pick up some FMs which are fan-made missions. I recommend anything made by Christine. You can find these on the website that was posted in the first post. I highly recommend playing this game. It's still ahead of it's time in my opinion.

I played it once. Managed to reached some jammed elevator or something and then quit playing for some reason. It does look interesting though with all that inventory system and nice ambient. Primitive shooting and animations kinda reminds you how old this is but i guess you can enjoy it.

Maybe I should install it again and then try beating it. BTW how long the game is?

Well, It varies from person to person, I managed to beat it on easy in 10 hours on my first playthrough.
All the let's plays I've seen last to about 20 to 32 episodes.
