Only in the first room of the game, unless you go into options and turn on retard mode after you leave it. It's not much of an advantage either way, and doesn't help you with your actual objectives at all.

Honestly, SS2 is the reason why the series is remembered so fondly, SS1 is nowhere near as good as it. Feel free to skip it if it doesn't start to click with you.

>>379105004

SS2 is a linear borefest that could never figure out what it was trying to be.

>>379108996
It was revolutionary, games are still copying it like crazy. Too bad none of them are even half as good as it, though.

this thread really showed me how many of you are underage shitters, btw you guys know reddit doesn't have an age limit why don't you try that hellscape.

>>379108996
Because it wasn't made for computers that actually existed at the time of release. You could have had a top of the line machine in 1994 (which would've cost you several thousand dollars and would be obsolete within a year) and it would've chugged. There was some interview where one of the developers mentioned that getting 15-20 FPS was pretty good. Lucky for us, they weren't stupid enough to implement a framerate cap or tie anything really important to it, so the game can be enjoyed at a good framerate now that computing power is no longer an issue.

You are a grognard if you disagree

>>379108996
The reason is because Origin botched the release by forcing the devs to make a shitty floppy disk version to be made and released months before the actual CD release.

>>379110980
This just isnt true, they are two completely different game in completely different genres.

You are seriously saying that you're stupider than a caveman since you refuse to learn to play a game or even customise the controls to make it easier on yourself.

1 is objectively better than 2. 1 is a masterfully crafted dungeon crawler, while 2 is just a shitty mess of a horror game RPG hybrid. I liked both, but there's no way 2 is anywhere near as good as 1.

>this old game is old
>come on game designers get it together -nerd

Old games weren't made by huge teams, they are rough around the edges, but have some heart or push a concept sometimes. Even something like Ultima as famous for putting story into RPGs is rough by today's standards lacking many control features of modern games or even a totally consistent story. But their work formed the basis of what is here and now.

System Shock released during the height of the Doom clones. It went for a more horror theme and honestly was pretty clever. Sure AI thinks its better than humans and tries to wipe out people is not by any means a new concept, but the idea for it to actually play god and fuck with people rather than just kill them was pretty damn horrific.

So yea it was horror/cyperpunk Doom for its day.

SS2 added in RPG elements because as Doom clones became a crowded genre that was soon to be blown away by Quake and 3D, the RPG/hybrid genres became larger and began to emerge with Deus Ex and Diablo 2 soon to follow after it.

SS1 had the better music

>>379113428
Thought they were both pretty good given their time frames. SS2 beat Deus Ex to the shooter RPG deal and SS1 wasn't that far removed from the original Doom release when that type of game in general was pretty new.

I'm looking forward to 3 as well since some of the people are returning and that gives me a bit of hope on it.

The guy you're replying to is still a fucking idiot though

>>379109262
Actually by that logic it would say SMB, tetris, GTA and pokemon are some of the best games ever made.
Why do faggots who spout "muh ad populum" statements always use somewhat popular things that a lot of people like to shit on, rather than the actually most popular things of that medium which most people would agree were good?
It's the same with music faggots who pretend justin bieber has actually sold more than the beatles, michael jackson, queen and so forth.

P.S I'm not saying ad populums are good, you fucking brainlet.

>>379101119
Are there more FPS games that have you switch between an active GUI inventory type thing and actually shooting stuff like SS1, especially with the mouselook mod?
It seems to blend action and suspense really well by keeping it in tone with the fact that you actually have a lot of voice recordings to listen to rather than it be a massacre fest so you have times where you don't need to be moving around.

If you manage to rip off your nostalgia glasses, SS2 is actually a deeply flawed game.
The hacking minigame is dull as shit. The way research works is dull and uninspired (Backtrack to a chem storage room with the chems you need, pick up chems, wait for timer to complete, whew fun).
The vast majority of the weapons in the game are a huge joke and not even remotely worth bothering with. Hell, the only weapon category fully worth investing in is the standard weapons. The only weapon from energy weapons worth bothering with is the energy rapier and possibly the energy pistol. The only weapon in heavy weapons worth investing in is the grenade launcher and you only need one point to get that so putting any more than that in the skill is a waste. Exotic weapons are a complete joke and not worth investing in at all.

Oh and navigating the Rickenbacker was a pain in the ass since for whatever reason they ditched the normally intuitive map for some shitty diagram that barely tells you shit.

It's really fucking nice to never be able to play over a 6v6 because the current maps wouldn't support it and any other official maps from Blizzard are highly unlikely to ever be designed for anything over 6v6.
It's amazing that the game will likely never have an admin control panel, a map voting system to let you pick what you want to play next, or any user generated content in general, whether it's maps, gameplay mods, or even just basic QoL shit that the devs haven't thought about.


I mean for fucks sake it's a mainly PC online only FPS game yet a server list apparently wasn't thought of as a necessity on release despite basically every other Blizzard game having one in the past.

>>379117314
But would never handle more players or certain designs of map, so no one gets the ability to do it because they can't all do it.

>>379115608
Both games got pretty pushed for time. SS1 suffered from being unpolished, but SS2 felt downright unfinished in places. Especially toward the end of the game, like the Rickenbacker. I daresay there wasn't a map simply because they didn't get a chance to make one; if I recall they had to cut and redesign much of it (like they originally planned walking on the outside of the hull to avoid the engine thing exploding, instead of reversing gravity).

And of course the final 'boss' and ending... not that SS1 did well there either.

I mean why the fuck would you ever want to take the units and base building out of WC3 and make it all about a ton of heroes instead? Who the fuck would ever want that?
Who the fuck would ever want a UT2k4 mod where you play a co-op game with classes and you're fighting waves of zombies instead of your standard DM / CTF arena fuckery?
Who would ever want to take a singe player game about a scientist and turn it into a game where you have terrorists vs counter terrorists fighting over bombs
Why would anyone want to take the amazing gameplay of quake and turn it into some class based shooter instead? No one would ever play that casual shit.

Also how about you respond to the rest of my post you little fuck nugget. Why the fuck would a server ever want to be able to decide amongst themselves what map they're going to play next? Why the fuck would an admin on a server want to have an easy access control panel that allows him to administrate the server, change server settings, deal with mod privileges etc. all in one place?

FOR FUCK SAKE, Stop being so fucking close-minded and speak for yourself, YOU may not like playing 12v12 but other people may love it. YOU may not love community map but other people love their cp_orange and that's FINE because everyone had different taste than you

It's MORE content in general which make the game less boring and repetitive. Grinding in overwatch would be much, much better if there was as much map as in tf2 (100+) or more heroes like dota2 or lol (130+)

There is no reason to be against modding/mapping in general.

The MAC version does not use that music, it uses real-time music similar to MIDI just like the DOS version. That version of the song is an unused in-house remix that is from this website: http://kofler.dot.at/sshock/
The remix of the intro song was actually used for the CD version of System Shock.

System shock 2 has a better story by far, SS1 is just a generic evil AI took over a generic space station. As for level design its fucking daggerfall tier, a mess. Music is barely listenable, although SS2's music did not fit the game at all. The only reason to play SS1 is for more SHODAN and some more background lore for SS2.

"Techno" or at least the stuff they used does not fit a horror game at all, they would have been better off using some sort of ambient. Although I do get that it was the 90's but other games from that period did a better job.

System Shock is very playable, aside from the scavenger hunt at the end of the game.

>>379119003
>SS1 is just a generic evil AI took over a generic space station

Also SS1's music is dynamic with a system similar to Monkey Island 2, so it switches dynamically to different sections during certain situations. It's a great thing.

SS1 isn't horror for starters and you're in the vast minority in your thinking. The music fits, plain and simple.

Horror ages very poorly anyway. Doom was a scary game once you know.
SS1 was capable of subtlety though, as was SS2.

>>379119689
The worst part of the remake demo was having ambient shit instead of techno

>>379121134
In some cases yes, but the Silent Hill games for example still manage to be more horrifying than many modern horror games. The audio of system shock 2 still holds up well and is the main scare factor of the game, but the music can make listening to certain sounds and voices difficult especially Xerxes announcements.

Of all the things to criticize SS1 for calling the level design bad is by far the most retarded. Especially when most of SS2 is a glorified hallway except for 2 decks.

>>379104012
1. shitposters
2. underaged retards

It is usually one of these two. You can't even really talk about old games anymore on this board thanks to them. I rarely ever see good discussion about any games pre 2000's. Even early 2000's games get a lot of shitposting and underage faggots talking crap about these games.

GG and the fappening have ruined 4chan with the influx of new users that came after.

>>379119942
god I love that not Head Like A Hole bassline so much

>>379121553
System Shock 2 isn't a very scary game, I say as someone who played it a long time after it launch.
It hard to take the spoopiness seriously considering the tech they used and how they used it. It's bit closer to the Resident Evil side of the spectrum than Silent Hill in terms of how it aged.

>>379121365
stop calling it techno its ebm reeee

>>379101378

>people praise the game even in 2017
>lmao you expected gameplay that aged well LMAO WHAT A FAG xDDD

stop praising it as a good rpg since it's just nostalgia from your pentium 2 era.

>>379121553
Silent Hill hardly ever even used ambient, it was always either nothing, melodic themes, industrial, or trip-hop

>>379122304
Turning the music off helps quite a bit, at least for me. No it's not silent hill tier scary but it has its moments
>>379122765
SS1 isn't a RPG
>>379122864
Not saying it did, but ambient would have served SS2 a lot better than the fast paced music it used.

>>379106369

i'm 25 and i played games since the commodore and i was bored to death with that game 3 years ago.
you should stop with MUH SUPERIOR TASTE IN VIDEO GAMES, that won't take your virginity nor make you cool as your favorite anime character.

>>379122765
I genuinely can't imagine anyone having trouble playing the modern release of System Shock unless they just smashed their fists onto the keyboard for a few seconds and decided they didn't want to play the game because it isn't Call of Duty.

Well anyway, I'm really hyped for System Shock 3. The concept art looked really nice and COLORFUL while still being dark and moody.

>>379113154
I cannot stop thinking of Nine Inch Nails after hearing someone mention how similar it is to SS1.

There's only 2 games in the series itself and Arkane's Prey. There's too little of these games to hate any of them.

SS1 is objectively better than 2. Bioshock games aren't even worth playing for 10 minutes.

It is really unfair to characterize System Shock as an RPG. It is really a shooter with huge inventory. There is no real character progression or growth since you find nearly all of your abilities at the start of the game. There is no real character interaction other than the enemies or shodan taking verbal potshots at you.
