![]() In DX you can have different character customizations and different ways to reach your objective in the large game environments. DX really strives to be a reality simulation, and I just love that.īesides SS2 offers you "only" (completely) different characters builds to do things always in the same path through the ship (as a side note, I have to say that I love the persistent world). The incredible plot, the intelligent, thoughtfull dialogue dialogue (DX is one of the very few games that made me think about important things in real life), the moral choices here and there, character interaction. I know there has been talk here of not playing SS2 because of the graphics, and obviously SS1 graphics are going to be even poorer, relatively speaking, but I really do urge you to try the original game! Trust me, with all great classic games of the past, the 640x480 SVGA graphics disappear in your minds eye and you get drawn into the fantastic gamplay and story that is System Shock! As you play, the graphics come to life, the sounds expertly play on your senses and once you have been scared to death a couple times by cyborgs and heard a few of the plaintive message left my dead crewmembers you will be hooked and gagging to continue the story then coming onto forums like this and telling the world about how great it is! Doubt me? Go to the Gamespy Hall of Fame section and search for System Shock to find out how truly great this game is alongside SS2! :) And by the way, thanks Gnome and everyone for the links and hints for SS2 on XP! :) Reply Delete ![]() #Unsafedisc v2 proGreat reading through all these mesages, will be moving onto SS2 soon, but at the moment, have just, with the help of TTLG forums, got my original Sysyem Shock 1 working in all it's glory on my 2.4ghz XP Pro SP2 machine!!! :) Oh, and by having one of those spanking new Pentium 3 ninja-PCs. #Unsafedisc v2 upgradeThis one fixes and rebalances a huge number of anomalies, discrepancies and bugs, all while staying true to the developers intentions.Īs for hugely improved graphics, these can be achieved through the combined use of SHTUP's ( Shock Texture Upgrade Project) high resolution textures and Rebirth's brand new detailed polygons. Having a more stable and beefier sounding game, this should be the moment to reflect on life's intricacies, while simultaneously installing the excellent Straylight mod. #Unsafedisc v2 PatchStart ( yes, you, dear horror-RPG-FPS fan) with the latest official patch and a rather similar WinXP/2000 fix and only then move on to the much needed sound upgrade, via the SS2 DeepFriedBeer mod. How? By injecting it with the proper mods, add-ons and fixes obviously. Taking into account that the developers won't be easily threatened into producing a nice System Shock 3 ( let alone the publishers.), the only realistic solution for the horror-RPG-FPS fan is to drag System Shock 2 kicking and screaming into 2007. Oh, and WinXP, minor gameplay and sound problems have also managed to creep up. Unfortunately though, what with being almost retro, its graphics have started to age and their late nineties 3D engine simply doesn't look that scary anymore. I mean, it's even got itself a Gamespot retrospective. ![]() ![]() ![]() System Shock 2 is better than Deus EX, more elaborate than any of the Thief games, scarier then Resident Evil and quite frankly more engrossing than the whole porn DVD collection of planet Earth. ![]()
