how to get the most out of system shock 2

See a Cyborg? Better hope you can swap to Armor Piercing ammo before it kills you. And yeah the clunky interface adds to that. Like I said, the game is tough.īut its fun because its tense. Then Cyborg Assassins start showing up to rain on your parade. Out of ammo? Hope you can melee strafe.īut eventually you get a good supply of ammo and health items etc. You cant take a hit and they can take several. Last but not least, the game is difficult. Especially when 4 enemies pop up and 2 of them explode when they catch you. Need chems to research, hope you find the chem roomĮnemies take like 2 hits with a club to die but also 3 blasts from a shotgun? What?Įnemy respawn can be lame. Want to use a med bed? Need a special key. Full clip of normal bullets to down a guy with or ONE anti-personel bullet. Gun decay (OMG fuck gun decay) (Hope you took maintenance!).Ī revolver takes up as much space as a wrench which takes up as much space as a shotgun which takes up the same space as a grenade launcher.

I really wish the Remaster hadn't ended up with issues.Īnyways onto System Shock 2, which I have been streaming on Twitch (Pilgrimzer0) (And can also be found on my Youtube) Even one of the devs said looking back the interface was 'bad'. I wanted to go back and try the System Shock games. I hate having to do that.Bioshock 1 and Infinite are 2 of my GoaT games. I don't want to go down to Easy, but I may have to. I managed to get completely fuckign slaughtered in my first encounter, which strangely involved two enemies this time, as opposed to 1 in the previous games.Īnd this is on bloody Normal. The wrench of course, is almost completely useless and ineffective. THough you do find a wrench on one of the bodies in the first room, and another wrench later. I figured since the other two start you off with a weapon, so would Standard, and it would appropriately enough be a pistol.īut of course, it's not. So I make a third attempt, going for standard weapons this time, as I had noticed that the pistol I found while playing my Energy character, was actually a much better weapon than my energy weapon, and came with a more useful amount of ammo than my other character's heavy weapon. MY first two builds (both Marine, one Heavy, one Energy), I found myself dying about 15 minutes in, after getting swarmed my the wierd zombie guys in one of the rooms.
